Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

“So, this is where you disappeared to?”

Arielle heard Luciano say as he opened the door to her room, she smiled at him, over the past couple of days, she has made it a habit to leave his room while he sleeps, it was better than just watching him sleep, she wasn’t about to set herself up by telling him that though. So far, she enjoyed being married to him, not only was he an attentive lover, he was a good listener too, he listened to her rant about the skills she could probably learn if she decides not to go back to school and even gave his input, they have had a lot of pillow talks in the last couple of days most of it being her talking and him listening, she couldn’t exactly call him her friend but they kind of felt like that to her, he walked up to her and laid next to her on the bed.

“Are you ready for tomorrow? It’s a nine-hour long flight and another one hour to get from Males to our villa,”

He said pulling her to him, yeah, they were leaving for their honeymoon tomorrow, one whole week in Maldives, when he had told her the location two days ago, she had thought he was joking, but he wasn’t, he booked one whole week in a private villa in Maldives, she made the mistake of looking up the price of spending a night there, safe to say she would never do it again, she knew Luciano was wealthy but it still shocked her when he booked such an expensive place for a honeymoon, left to her, they could have spent the whole time here at home or in a hotel in Moscow, she had told and he had laughed at her and told her she should get used to being married to a billionaire.

“I am ready,”

She responded rolling off the bed.

“Where are you going to?”

He asked and she turned back to him.

“Back to your room unless you want to spend the rest of the night here,”

She said.

“I will spend the night anywhere you are my lady,”

He said and patted the spot she had vacated.

“Don’t fall in love with me Luciano, for your own good,”

She said, using the exact words he had used on her a few days ago, he was acting like a love-sick man with how he was behaving towards her, coming back from work early, and spending all his free time in her company.

“Baby, that doesn’t work on me,”

He responded still patting the spot next to him, she pouted and went to lay there.

“Why? Are you disappointed?”

He questioned drawing her close to him and wrapping his arms around her.

“Not disappointed,”

She responded as she rested her head against his chest.

“Good, now get some sleep we have a long flight ahead of us,”

He whispered and kissed her hair, he was back snoring in less than five minutes while she laid there unable to fall asleep, this would be her first ever overseas trip and she didn’t know what to expect yet so she couldn’t fall asleep, he got her a new personal phone and he finally gave her back her passport and IDs, in his words, “I have you now and I know you can’t run away from me, at least not for the next two years and he was right, she wasn’t going anywhere until the last day.

The next morning, they were up early and got to the airport before eight am, she had thought they were taking a regular plane, imagine her shock when she found out they were using a private jet, she had to remind herself who it was that she was married, even more so when she checked the internet before they departed the airport and saw photos of them from today already over the tabloid, the fact that the headline was accurately shocked her, she turned to Luciano and asked him if he had told anyone else that they were traveling, he had laughed at her and told her that was another thing she needed to get used to because the media always find a way to know these details which sort of scared her but he assured her they will be fine.

The flight from Moscow to Males was long but smooth, she slept for about two hours of the flight, it didn’t feel like she was on air, the bed in the private jet was comfy and the airplane staff was nice to her, Luciano was busy on his laptop for most of the trip, he barely spared her a glance, he only looked at her once to tell her that she would have him all to herself once they land in Males, not like she was complaining about the lack of attention, she liked watching him work, while watching him, she finally concluded on what she would do once they get back from their honeymoon, she decided she would go back to school and get a degree in business, watching him work, she realized she wanted to own and run a business like him, of course, she might not get to his level of wealth and fame, but she could definitely make a name for herself.

They arrived at the Maldives exactly nine hours after they departed and she marveled at the beauty of the place, the ride from the airport to where they would a seaplane was about ten minutes, and once again, they were back on board, this time, the trip was even more fun because Luciano was talking to her, pointing and naming the place.

“Wow,” was all Arielle could say as she looked from the seaplane window at the beautiful scene before her, she has always heard about the Maldives but never once did she dream of visiting, now not only was she here, she was also in a private seaplane, going to a private villa there, even the night sky did nothing to the beautiful place, she wondered how beautiful it will look in the day when it looked this pretty at night, hopefully, they get to explore.

“We are here,”

Luciano announced a few minutes later, he held out his hand and she took it without saying anything, she was tired from the long flight but she couldn’t wait to see what this place looked like during the day, they got off the plane and walked a few distances together with the aid that carried their luggage, Arielle kept looking around and admiring everything, she saw a pool and wondered why there was a need for it when they were already surrounded by water.

“Thank you for your help, you can drop them off, we will take it from here,”

Luciano said to the aid and tipped him, the man thanked Luciano and left and it reminded the two of them.

“You are tired, right? You take a bath and we sleep tonight, tomorrow I will give you a tour of the place,”

He commented while pulling her with him, she followed without arguing and he opened the door to a spacious bedroom, not as big as Luciano’s room back at the mansion but big enough to house five people, the bed was huge with white linen and lots of pillows, the room itself was painted white, it had a transparent view and she could see the outside.

“Is this okay?”

she asked pointing at the window.

“Yeah, you can see the outside but anyone standing outside can’t see you,”

he explained and she nodded.

“Go take a bath, you look so tired,”

He instructed and she obeyed, following the direction he had pointed to, there was a bathtub and once again, everything was painted white, since she was so tired, she took a quick bath and walked back to the room naked.

“Wow, baby, we are just going to sleep tonight, don’t tempt me,”

He warned.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“I didn’t even say anything, aren’t you going to go take a bath too?’

She questioned, walking past him, he held her arm and pulled her to him.

“I will, after this,”

He said and kissed her, lifting her up into his arms and carrying her to the bed, he didn’t get to take that bath neither did she get any sleep until way past midnight.
