Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

Arielle looked around the room, checking the wardrobes, there were clothes, female clothes, which had her wondering if she wasn’t his first prisoner, could it be that he had a habit of doing this and she was just his recent victim? She couldn’t put it past him, he was a demon.

“Yup, a demon with a nice body,”

The crazy voice in her head said, it was the first time it spoke since yesterday and Arielle wasn’t so pleased.

He has a nice body but what does it matter if he is not human? A monster would remain a monster whether he is hot or not and rather than be over his handsomeness, she should actually be scared of what he can and might do to her, if this was a habit then what might his other victims have gone through here in this room and, did they escape alive? So many things to think about, would she ever get out of this place alive? Would she ever live a normal life again, she couldn’t begin to imagine what can happen to her here.

“Knock knock,”

A voice came from the unlocked door, she hadn’t bothered to even close it, what was the point, she looked to see a petite woman who should be around her thirties or early forties.

“The boss wants you to come down for breakfast, he is waiting for you,”

The pretty woman said with a smile. Her first thought was she thought he left the house, at least that’s what his tone earlier indicated, maybe she had been wrong.

“Didn’t he leave already?”

She asked but the pretty lady shook her head. Well maybe she got everything wrong, well, she couldn’t care less.

“You are to come down for breakfast, you can’t keep the boss waiting,”

The pretty lady said.

Arielle didn’t want to be in Luciano’s presence not to talk of eating with him, he was her captor, did he really think she would go eat with him? Plus, he had so many people working for him, barely twelve hours in his house and she has come in contact with two different people, wait make that three, if Lydia from the night before is counted, and that’s excluding the ones that walked passed them while he carried her back to the house, what did she expect for a man as wealthy as Luciano? Of course, he would have lots of people around him, serving him, he has a mansion for a reason, which lead her to think, he might not even care about the money her parent took from him, he could easily let her go and be a good person, she was damn sure that his bank account didn’t even notice any money missing.

“Ma’am?”

The lady said and Arielle realized she was waiting for her answer, there was no way she would eat with Luciano, not when he threatened her last night and solidified the threat again, what? She should eat and dine with someone who had evil plans for her? She would rather starve to death, she wasn’t so sure she would live anyway, and might as well die from not eating.

“Ma’am?”

The lady asked again in a worried tone.

“Tell him to eat his food and choke on it, tell him I wish he dies in the process, I would rather die than eat with him,”

She said and she could tell that the woman was beyond shocked and that she would not dare say those words to Luciano but she didn’t care how she delivers the message to the bastard, the last thing she should care about here were other people, no one gives a fuck about her so she should do well to learn and do exactly the same, only cares about herself, that’s the only way to survive in this cruel world.

“I thought you said you will starve to death?”

The voice in her head echoed and she rolled her eyes in disgust.

“I am sorry, I can’t tell him that, I know we don’t know each other and you shouldn’t worry about me, but if I go tell him what you just said or I go there without you, I might lose my job and I can’t lose this job, my baby is sick, this is the only place I can work and earn enough money to pay for his surgery, please whatever is going on, can you just come downstairs with me? I beg you,”

The lady said almost in tears, Arielle suddenly felt sick to the stomach, all her thoughts of not caring for other people flying out of the window, how could she not care? When a young child’s life depends on this, what the lady was saying was true, Luciano was evil and he might fire her, so putting herself first in this would make her just as bad as Luciano and that’s the last thing she wanted to be.

“I am sorry about your sick child, I hope he gets better, where do I go for breakfast?”

She asked politely.

“Thank you so much,”

The lady said and walked ahead of her, Arielle followed behind her, hating that she had to do this but she would rather stand Luciano’s horrible present than let a child die because his mom lost her job because of her, that would be murder.

“You were taking forever, I thought you wanted me to come to drag you out, sweetness,”

Luciano said when she walked into the huge dining room, he was the only one sitting there and she hated the way he was looking at her and even calling her sweetness like they were close and had that kind of relationship, they didn’t have any relationship other than he was holding her captive against her will, if only she had the power to do away with him and make a run for it.

“Sit,”

He commanded in a voice that got her seated before she could argue.

“Good girl,”

He said in a much more calm voice, she eyed him, hating herself for being so easy.

“I don’t want to be here, I don’t want to eat with you, I just want to go back home,”

“Well, you are home, home is here until I decide otherwise,”

He said as if it was the most normal thing to say.

“This is not my home, it can never be my home, just let me go,”

“Can we at least eat? It is past eleven and I haven’t had breakfast, that’s unhealthy,”

He said as two women and a man walked in with trays of food.

“Fine,”

She responded. she watched the chef from the night before serving them food and Luciano started eating without replying to her, she stared at the food in front of her, it was buttermilk pancakes and raspberry jam, of course, tea, she couldn’t deny that the food was enticing, once again, she disregarded her no eating rule and looked her the chef, she whispered thanks for the food and without looking Luciano’s way, she started eating too, the food tasted amazing, another best food she has ever had, again it had to be in a place where she was held captive, the food was the only up in this whole situation.

“With how you were behaving, one would think you are not hungry,”

He said but she chose to ignore him, ignore him and fill her stomach, then after that, she would demand that he let her go, if it means working for a long time to pay off the debt, she would, she just didn’t want to be here with him, in his house as his property…Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
