Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

Arielle woke up the next morning feeling like hell after trying to fall asleep for half of the night, a big bed was nothing when you are a prisoner, at first she had forgotten where she was but one look at the room she was in and all the memories of what had taken place yesterday came rushing back to get, she suddenly got off the bed feeling nauseous, she ran to the big restroom and poked, she felt sick and wanted to do nothing but lay on the bed all day, but this bed but her bed at home, her home where she never felt needed or loved but it was still hers, it was better than here but she knew her life took a turn for the worse the minute those men brought her here and she might not see her home ever again, she felt weak and hopeless but she picked herself up and brushed her teeth and took a bath, she went back into the room and wore the clothes she had worn yesterday, she had managed to wash them the night before and they were already dried.

She wondered what life had in stock for her today and what more worst fate she was to face in the hands of her captor.

“Knock, knock,”

Came the voice of the devil who was responsible for all her misfortune in the past few weeks, he didn’t even wait for a response as the door opened.

“Rise and shine pretty,”

She heard his voice as he waltzed into the room like they were best friends and he didn’t threaten to kill her the night before, the man wasn’t serious, and why was he smiling? She wanted to kill him.

“What do you want?”

She asked moving away from him.

“What do I want? Hmm, let’s see, I don’t think you can afford what I want!”

He said and sat on the bed, she hated him so much but she couldn’t deny that he was handsome, she could never deny that fact, right now, he had his hair up in a male bun, he looked like he just got out of the shower and had a nice smell too that filled her nostrils, he wore a white shirt over plain black trousers but he managed to pull it off so well, how can he look so good so early in the morning, why did he have to look good at all, she hated him so much.

“Are you done checking me out?”

He asked and she felt embarrassed, why did she do it? How could she for a moment forget that beyond this handsome face and nice smell, he was worst than the devil and more disgusting than trash left in the rain?

“I would never do that, you sell yourself at a high price, get off your high horse,”

She responded.

“Well, I am not the one who was up for sell,”

He said and she glared at him wishing she could harm him.

“I was never up for sell,”

“Then explain how you got here then? Why do I own you?”

He asked laying on the bed, the man was too comfortable around her and she hated him for it.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“You do not own me, Luciano, I am not a property to be owned,”

It felt strange saying his name out loud.

“Good to know you know my name, plus, you will soon stop denying that I own you, soon, anyway, I came to let you know, that you will do everything I say, if not you would be getting what comes your way, I don’t plan on letting you off easily, I gave you time to be able to pay back but since it is obvious that you can’t and all you can do is run, you will be mine to use as I want until I decide otherwise,”

He said it in such a matter-of-fact way, she couldn’t even believe he was saying all the things he was saying to her.

“I am never going to do as you say,”

She said in a determined voice, he laughed, she didn’t know what was funny to him, as far as she knew, she wasn’t trying to be funny and he shouldn’t be laughing because he had a good laugh and she hated that she knew.

“Stop laughing, you are acting like a weirdo because nothing I said is funny, why can’t you just be a normal human and just let me go, it won’t hurt you to do that right? Why do you choose to be so evil? What does it pay you to keep me captive knowing that I did absolutely nothing to you, I don’t deserve this,”

She let out in frustration. He stopped laughing.

“Sweetheart, I am not holding you captive, you are, if you had just done as you were told instead of trying to run away, you would have woken up this morning in your bed at your house, think about it this way, everything that happened to you yesterday was your fault, everything, and everything that would happen to you from now on is your fault too, because I have decided not to let you out of my sight again until I don’t need you here anymore,”

He said in a very serious tone that had her believing for a moment that everything was her fault, then she couldn’t do it, this wasn’t her fault, if she starts thinking like that, starts thinking she was at fault, then she would be letting him have his way with her, doing exactly what he wanted her to do, he was manipulative.

“You are not going to make me feel bad for wanting my freedom,”

She said with so much confidence that she didn’t know she still had in her. He started laughing again, it was just plain annoying.

“I don’t see what’s funny and why you are laughing but what do I expect from a lunatic?”

She said with a glare.

“As much as I admire your confidence, I don’t fancy when people are insulting towards me so watch what you say to me, plus, you remember what I said last night? There is only one person that has power between the two of us and it is not you, I decide and you do exactly as you are told, just so you know, you can’t escape, you can’t get out of here until I say so, and I am not going to, so enjoy your life here,”

He said throwing his hands in the air, his phone ranged and he picked it up, she watched as his whole demo changed, he looked angry, he didn’t even say a word but his whole body was rigid and flushed in anger.

“I am on my way, don’t do anything until I get there,”

He said and ended the call, she waited for him to address her but he turned and walked out of the door in silence, she wondered who called and why just one call was enough to make him that angry.

“It is none of my business,”

She thought to herself as she sat back on the bed, nothing that happened in Luciano’s life was her business, she needed to get out of this prison, that was the only thing she should think of doing, but how would she get out? There was no way out of here, she didn’t know anyone here, was sure he would warn them not to say anything to her, or he might even lock the door to prevent her from going out, she stood up and went to the door to check, it wasn’t locked but she knew she couldn’t leave, last night was proof that she couldn’t, maybe she would stay around and get to know the place enough to know how to escape, yes, she had every plan of leaving this hellhole the first opportunity she gets
