Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

“Hop on,”

He said after watching her struggle on her own, she looked at him but didn’t get on his back.

“I am fine on my own,”

She argued.

“Yeah, I know, still hop on, I am hungry and if you keep walking like that we might not get to eat today,”

He warned and she finally got on his back and they walked back to where they had left their boat.

“Have you been here before? How come you are so familiar with this place,”

She asked, when they sat by the pool later that evening after they had dinner, he thought of lying and just saying no but nodded.

“Really? With who?’

She asked again and he regretted not lying in the first place, of course he has been here a couple times, twice with his ex-best friend when they were seventeen and eighteen and once he had come with a woman he had wanted to impress, to be fair, he had been young and stupid, just twenty when he had brought Vera here for the holiday, of course, it wasn’t this villa, he would never go back there, back then, he was still very much dependent on his family money, Don had found out and sent his men to come get him, they had been having sex when those idiots had burst in and instructed him to dress up, Vera had been so pissed at him that she never spoke to him again, she never even returned to Russia with him, later he found out that Vera had found a self-made billionaire on this island and that was the reason she ditched him, his twenty years old self had cried throughout the night and that’s when he vowed to make his own money, no, things didn’t end bad for Vera, far from it, she got married to that man and they even have kids now and she is still doing very well, he has met her a couple of times over the years when they attended similar events and they just said normal hellos to each other and that was it.

“You don’t want to tell me who you came here with right? That’s why you are so quiet,”

Arielle said and he realized he has been lost in his head for too long.

“Not really, I have been here before, not this particular villa though, I came with my ex-best friend and also my ex-girlfriend, don’t ask me for details,”

He added when he saw that she wanted to ask him more questions, he wasn’t about to tell her about his embarrassing past.

“Who said I was going to ask? tish,”

“No one, just don’t ask,”

He responded.

“I won’t, anyway, I have decided on what I would do once we return,”

She announced.

“Really?”

He asked waiting for her to fill him in on what she wanted to do, he already decided that he would support whatever she wants to do, only if it was legal though, the illegal things were his to handle.

“Yes, I will like to go back to school and get a degree in business, I know it will take me years, but that’s what I want to do,”

She answered, he did not doubt that she would do well.

“That’s good, I will help you with anything, don’t hesitate to ask me any questions, also you can pick any school of your choice, so long as it doesn’t take you away from home,”

He said, he didn’t want her moving out of the mansion until their contract was over.

“Thank you,”

She replied coming to hug him, he held her and smile.

“Don’t you think you like me a little too much right now?”

He couldn’t help asking after they broke the hug, she keeps acting like they are close friends and it was throwing him off.

“I could also say the same for you sir,”

She answered.

“How so?”

“Well for one, you always listen to what I have to say, two you buy me things, three we are here when we could have been at home and I wouldn’t mind, four you just gave me a tour and even carried me, five, you ditched your work to be with me, six you agreed to sponsor my education and even offered to be my tutor, I will say you are whipped for me,”

She answered confidently, he had no words because he did do all the things she had listed and more, one thing was sure, he wasn’t whipped for her, he just liked her as a person and liked being around her.

“Should I continue?”

She asked.

“Nope, I get the memo, but still don’t fall in love with me just because I am nice to you, I am not always nice, it won’t do you any good if you fall for me, it will only cause you pain.”

He warned.

“I won’t, don’t worry about me, I know this is temporary, I am not a fool, when it is time to leave I will without creating a scene, I can’t say the same for you though,”

She replied.

“I don’t do love woman,”

“But you keep bringing it up,”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

She added. He let out a sigh and decided to let it go, she is smart, no matter what he says she would have a comeback word for it, that’s why he didn’t have any doubts that she would do well in business school.

“Anyway, how did you like your first day here?”

He asked changing the topic.

“I had fun thanks to my handsome and thoughtful husband,”

She answered, he couldn’t help the warm feeling that settled in his chest when she said the words with such a bright smile, he went over to her and lifted her into his arms, she giggled as he carried her to their room…
