Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

“I don’t have anything else to say to you Luciano, I don’t believe anything you just said, you just want me to come with you, and that’s why you are saying those words, you told me that you will never love me, how do you expect me to believe that changed in just a week?”

She asked him. He took his time, going over what he wanted to say in his head before he spoke them out, he needed to convince her to at least come with him, he couldn’t even trust himself to say the right words that will get her to come with him.

“I love you Arielle and I want you to be safe, I know it is hard for you to believe me but I do, I love you so much, I can’t let you get hurt, please come with me, please,”

He pleaded. That was all he could do. his head was blank and his brain refused to generate words when he needed all the words to convince her.

“From what do you think I need protection? I mean, you are more harmful to me than whatever you think you are protecting me from.”

She replied.

“I know, I understand you Arielle, I get what you are saying, but those who killed Don are still out there and until I can get them off the streets, everyone associated with me are not safe,”

He explained, hoping that she will understand him.

“And you think being with you will be safer? I am not associated with you anymore Luciano, have you forgotten that? We got divorced,”

She reminded him of his mistake, Yoey had warned him, he should have listened to him.

“At that time, I thought that was best for the both of us, I didn’t want you to be dragged into the mess that was my life,”

He explained but she shook her head.

“What? that’s not why you divorced me, Luciano, stop fucking lying, you did it for yourself, to protect yourself and everything you owned, do you think I am stupid? When you got out the first thing you did was get back everything, you lied, ruined my name, made me a public enemy and now you have the mind to stand in front of me and lie even more? God! You are such a devil,”

She accused. She wasn’t lying, that was part of his plan too but he had also wanted to protect her from the whole mess, that had been his first goal when he was arrested, he messed everything up.

“That’s true, I wanted to protect what’s mine, and you are one of those things I wanted to protect Arielle, I know it is hard to believe but I didn’t know the public will blow that off, I just wanted everything that belongs to me to be safe, I went about it the wrong way, I am sorry,”

He disclosed.

“Even if that’s true, what about when you got out Luciano? When I told you how I felt about you? You still hurt me, you told me you won’t love me, you said those words so don’t expect me to believe anything else,”

She let out and he nodded.

“You don’t have to believe me, and you don’t have to forgive me either but please just come with me, I can’t leave you on your own, please,”

He pleaded.

“Fine, I will come with you, but just so you know, that I am coming with you doesn’t me I accept what you said,”

she told him and he could finally breathe in relief, he didn’t get the result he wanted but at least she agreed to come with him.

“Thank you, should I help you pack?”

He asked not knowing what else to say, he seemed to always lose his words around her.

“Why would you do that? I can do it myself, just wait outside,”

She said to him and he nodded and left the room, walking down to the reception where some of his men were.

“Boss, your phone was ringing but we didn’t want to disturb you,”

Dreg said when he got to them, he took the phone from him, it was Yeoy, Luciano wondered why he was calling him so late and decided to call him back while waiting for Arielle to come out.

“Boss, I was trying to reach you,”

“Yoey let out over the phone. He sounded anxious.

“Why? It is late,”

“Yes, but I couldn’t wait till morning, there is something I need you to see, I am on my way back to the office,”

Yoey told him. Whatever it was must be very vital for him to leave his house at the time, it was almost midnight.

“What is it? Can’t you tell me on the phone? I left the office,”

Luciano said, looking up to see Arielle walking towards them with her luggage in hand, she looked so beautiful that for a moment he forgot he was on the phone with Yoey until he called out his name.

“What did you say? I missed it,”

He said taking his eyes off Arielle for a moment, she was talking to the receptionist.

“I said, I was looking through the footage that came from Don’s house the night he was killed, I don’t know how we missed it, but I couldn’t fall asleep so I decided to watch it again and I think I found a clip that caught something, the killer,”

Yeoy revealed.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Wait what? Are you sure?”

Luciano asked. They have gone through that footage a lot of times, even the police too and they found nothing, he didn’t want to get his hopes up for nothing.

“I am sure, that’s why I want you to come and see it too, I didn’t know you left the office,”

Yoey responded, he sounded so sure.

“You know what, wait for me at the office, I will be there in thirty minutes,”

Luciano told him as Arielle finally finished talking to the receptionist and walked towards him, he couldn’t take her home, he didn’t want to leave her on her own, so he would take her to the office with him and after that, they will go to his penthouse together.

“We have to stop at the office first Arielle, something came up that I can’t ignore, I will take you home after that.”

He told her.

“That’s not a problem, let’s go,”

She replied and he nodded leading her to the car that brought him.

“Thank you for today guys,”

he told his men as they got into the other car and he got into his with Arielle who moved as further away from him as she could, it hurt but at least she agreed to come with him which was a start. For now, he needed to get to Yoey and review the evidence he said he found, hopefully, they finally have a lead to who really killed Don.
