Betrothed To The Ruthless Mafia

“I guess he was proud of you,” Carmencita uttered after Rosana told her about the fight that took place the previous night. They were in the library, as usual, reading books and discussing.

“I doubt that. He didn’t even stay till the end of the fight. He didn’t even care if I got hurt and died afterward, he just left.”

“But he killed the man that hurt you” Carmencita insisted but she scoffed and continued reading her book.

“That does not mean he cares.” She replied and continued reading but nothing could get through. She couldn’t stop herself from thinking about the man Sergio had killed. The gunshots…

“He only killed the man because he left a mark on me. A mark that was not Sergio’s.”

“And what about the reward you mentioned?” Carmencita asked, clueless. If Sergio had rewarded her for the fight, then it only meant he was impressed by her performance. But Rosana didn’t believe that.

“The reward?” Carmencita nodded in response and she turned to look around. “Um… It was… Not the usual kind of… Em… Reward”

The older woman furrowed her brows in confusion as she stared back at Rosana. It was hard to understand what she was talking about or why she was stuttering. What unusual reward could be given to a person after a good fight? She wondered.

“It was… you know” She continued after seeing her confused look. “You should understand from there”

There was no way Carmencita could understand her, especially when she tiptoed around the words. Rosana on her part could feel heat radiating in her stomach as she thought about the previous night. The things he had ordered her to do, the way he had looked at her, touched her, he even asked her what she wanted and gave it right to her.

She could feel her panties getting wet already as the event of the previous night replayed in her head. “We… He…”

“It is okay, my dear, you do not have to give me the details. It is supposed to be private” Carmencita smiled at her and she heaved in relief. Finally, she understood.

No, wait, what exactly does she understand? Rosana wondered, staring at the elderly woman who was still smiling.

“It is a good thing, My Lady.”

“What is a good thing?” Rosana’s eyes widened and she stared at her like she had just lost my mind. “God, no! No, no, no, not that!”

The smile vanished from Carmencita’s face and was replaced by confusion. “No?”

“No. He has not been with me since we got married. I know it was supposed to happen on the wedding night but it did not. And he would rather be with his Mistress instead”

It was all surprising that the couple had never been with each other since they got married. But why? Carmencita wondered. Sergio was not the kind of man who would back out on such a thing. He was the Mafia Lord and would likely need an heir.

“And how do you feel about that, my dear?”

“Good, better. As long as that is what he wants”

It was nothing new that Rosana didn’t like her husband. After being forced to marry him and all that she had gone through in his hands, Carmencita knew a thing like love wouldn’t come easily from her. But she was more concerned.

“And what do you want?” She finally asked. “Are you okay with the Mistress around him?”

“Yes!” She replied curtly and managed a gulp, her answer doubtful even to her own ears.

Was she okay with it? Rosana questioned herself.

Yes, she used to be. But that was before Vicenta confronted her some months ago. Now, whenever she passed through that room she saw the Mistress, Rosana remembered what she said about being Sergio’s addiction, his drugs. One he could never live without. And it made her heart ache.

“What if she carries his child?” Carmencita asked and quietly waited for her response. When she didn’t reply, she continued. “You should never be okay with that, My dear”

“And what would you have me do? He does not want to sleep with me!”

“Neither do you!” Carmencita pointed out and she sighed. Of course, she was right. “He is your husband and you are his wife. You have every claim to him more than everyone else.”

“You and I both know that Sergio does whatever he wants. No one can force him and I am not going to beg him to sleep with me!”

“You will not. You just have to make him come to you!”

Whatever that meant, she didn’t understand and she was not ready to ask questions. Quietly, she stood up from her seat and went to return a book on the shelf. She returned with another and sat to read.

“Do not worry dear, everything will be alright”

Rosana took a deep breath and tried to focus on the book she was reading but couldn’t. Her mind kept drifting back to the Mistress whom she hadn’t seen since the last time.

She had seen Munika a couple of times but they never exchanged words. What was the need when they could not stand each other? Rosana asked herself.

“Aside from pleasing Sergio, what else does she do?” She finally asked when she couldn’t hold it in any longer. She wanted to know. “I do not see her around”

“Her job is to please her master and nothing else. She remains in her room until he sends for her”

“That’s close to being in prison!”

Carmencita chuckled lightly and smiled. “As I said, that is her duty. But she can also step outside or remain indoors if she wants to”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

It only meant she had come out to meet her on purpose that night. She had come out to show herself, to introduce herself as the Don’s Mistress, and also to rub her duties on Rosana’s face.
