Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

“I hope you are up?”

Arielle heard Luciano say as he entered without even knocking or asking for permission to come in, she wanted to call him out on it but remembered what she had concluded the night before, no matter how hard it might be, she needed to play by his rule, the only way out of here is if he thinks she finally has given in and decided to face her fate.

He didn’t talk about what happened the previous day and she hoped he won’t ever talk about it because she knew she would be too embarrassed to face him, she hoped they never talk about it, it was one moment that she wanted to forget forever, even erase it she could.

“You not up? Why are you still laying down have you taken your bath?”

He asked.

“Are we going somewhere?”

She asked getting off the bed, she hasn’t taken her bath yet but that wouldn’t take much time.

“Yes we are, I told you that your shenanigans last time can’t be forgiven right? You deserve to be punished for it,”

He said as he looked her over, he walked passed her to the wardrobe in the room and started pulling out clothes.

“Don’t just stand there, go take a bath, except you wanna go without bathing,”

He said as he continued sorting out clothes, she wanted to tell him he had no right to control her but decided to just shut up and do as he said, pride would not help her now, she needed to do as this man says if she plans on getting out of here.

She walked to the bathroom and shut the door, making sure no one can enter, after which she took a hurried bath, when she came back, there was a short purple lacy gown on the bed and a pair of heels, she looked from the clothes to the man who was sitting crossed leg in the room with phone in hand, not even acknowledging her.

“Why do I need to wear this? I don’t wear clothes like this,”

She said checking the extremely short dress, it was pretty but it was the kind of clothes she avoided, one time, her mom had shopped for her, and the only time her mom got her new clothes, was for her eighteenth birthday, she had taken one look at the clothes and told her mother she wasn’t going to wear them, her mother had been furious, she even threatened to send her out of the house, Arielle had stood her ground because she had known what her mother’s plan of getting her seductive clothes had been.

“I am not going to wear these,”

She said going over to the wardrobe herself to search for a better option.

“Arielle, I have had enough of you trying to act smart, you will wear what I want you to wear, you will do what I want you to do, now get back there and get on the dress, I have a business to attend to,”

He said in a commanding voice, she honestly wanted to say fuck her new rule but then she thought better than it, what could wearing the dress cause? Plus they are going out, maybe she could find a way to get back to her place and search for her passport really well, or just get a new identity, she needed money for that, and right now, she had no money, okay she knew no way that would happen but still.

“Fine,”

She said as she picked up the dress and walked into the closet and got into the dress, it wasn’t as short as she thought it would be but still too short for her to be comfortable bending over.

“What now?”

She asked when she was done, he looked up from his phone and his eyes fixed on her, he was checking her out and her heartbeat increased with how he was looking at her, she shook herself out of it and glared at him.

“Are you done checking me out? Can we go?”

She asked.

“Sure,”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He said and got up, she followed behind him, the heels weren’t so bad too, and she could walk comfortably in them.

She followed him to the car and they wordlessly drove around the strange neighborhood, she couldn’t even recognize any part of the place, it was as if she was in a new country and not Russia, soon, they were in areas she kind of knew but from seeing them on the news, nothing has ever brought her to this part of Russia.

They made a stop in front of the huge Siegel office complex, she knew because of the sign and because she has seen it a lot on television, he brought her to work with him. But why? What would he have her do here?

The questions ran through her head as they entered the huge building and the car came to a final stop in the huge underground parking lot.

“Why am I at your office?”

She asked confused as hell, he didn’t respond and just wordlessly walked out of the car, she had no choice but to follow him, he knew he was bringing her to the office and he made her dress in a short gown. Again it wasn’t so bad but it still wasn’t ideal for the office.

“Why am I here?”

She asked again when they entered the elevator, he looked at her, smiled, and looked away, not a good smile but a creepy smile that made her scared but then what could he do to her at his office?

“Good morning sir,”

He was greeted by a group of people who were all professionally dressed, no one looked at her but she didn’t care.

“Yoey won’t be back until next month, he got into an accident as you all may already know and I gave him time to take care of himself, I expect you all to be able to run things smoothly while he is away,”

Luciano instructed as they all walked into his huge office.

“Rose, bring whatever pressing issue over to me, and the rest of you can go back to what you were doing before I came, plus all the meetings I gave today should be brief,”

He instructed and she watched as they all responded and walked away, then it was just the two of them, Arielle stood awkwardly wondering what she was supposed to be doing there, she couldn’t ask again because he already ignored her twice.

“Aren’t you going to seat? We ain’t leaving any time soon,”

He said and she glared at him before walking over to the sofa in the office, she sat down looking around the huge office, a place she would never have thought she would at, not like she was there because she wants to, it was huge and her whole house might fit into it.

“I think you will be more comfortable sitting over there,”

He pointed at the more comfortable chair that could serve as a bed at the far end of the office, she stood up from where she sat and went over there, it had a view over the city.

She watched in silence as different workers came and went, he ordered breakfast for her and she ate without complaining because she was so hungry. right after she finished eating, some executives walked in and they had a meeting right in her presence and no one acted like she was even there, she didn’t mind though, she just wanted to be free, if there was a way for her to leave, she would have but she knew she couldn’t do it, he had people watching, she was sure.

By lunch, he also got her lunch, this time he ate with her while he went over his files, in everything that happened, she got to know that he was nice to his workers, they weren’t tensed or scared of him, unlike the ones that worked in the mansion, they talked and even laughed with him, it was surprising to her to see him like this. She was so used to his evil side.

“Maybe he is not as evil as you think,”

The annoying voice in her head said and she wanted to shut it up but she watched as he made two people he was talking to laugh and it made her think that maybe he wasn’t as bad as he looked.

Maybe he was just mean to people who owe him, she owe him even though the debt wasn’t her fault, and her evil parents didn’t even bother to check for her, if she ever gets away from this, she would make sure to find them and make them pay.

Arielle fell asleep after a while.

“We are leaving,”

She heard Luciano say and she jerked up checking the big wall clock in the office, it was passed four pm already, which means she slept for an hour.

“Let’s go,”

He said again and she got up, following him out of the office wondering why he bothered to bring her here when all she did was eat and sleep, was this the punishment? Because it didn’t look like any kind of punishment to her, she wasn’t about to ask him, all she wanted to do was get home and leave his presence.

“You don’t have a home anymore,”

The voice in her head reminded her, she let out a sad sight as they got into the car and his phone rang, she watched as his expression changed and he spoke to the driver who nodded and zoomed off, she wondered what was going on that got him looking so pissed but she didn’t bother to ask him, it was none of her business.
