Chapter 42
“Be serious,”
She let out and he stop laughing and stared straight at her.
“Arielle, it is not your usual kind of marriage? It’s like a business, you get what you want which is your freedom and I get what I want too, you get even more, it’s a big win for you, is it that hard to grasp?”
He responded as if it was the most natural thing to say, she never told him she wanted anything and she damn well knew she had nothing that he wants, it’s not like she is the secret daughter of a hugely wealthy family or something, she was plain and poor, and a practical orphan too with no close relatives, so what would she have that Luciano Siegel would want? She just couldn’t picture it, if he thought she was some kind of hidden heir and has some hidden treasures that he might want then he must be crazy and stupid because she was damn sure she had nothing, when she had been younger, she used to daydream about being the youngest daughter of a very rich family, who was kidnapped by evil people which were are parents and taking away from her wealthy family, she used to dream about her ‘real parents’ finding her and taking her back to their huge mansion where she would live happily ever after but as she grew older, she had realized just how stupid her daydreams were and the reality that she was born poor to uncaring parents made her stop dreaming of ye impossible and instead try to work to help herself but no matter how hard she worked, it just didn’t help her situation, she had nothing to her name at a grown ass age of twenty-four.
“And what is it that you want Luciano? What would you gain from being married to me? I have nothing, nothing at all,”
She informed him in case he had forgotten.
“Don’t worry about what I would gain from this and think about what you would gain from it instead, think it, your life will be so much easier if you marry me, I will give you not only my name but a chance at a better life, you might not have to work a day in your life again after it is done,”
He said and all she could do was look at him like he has lost his mind, he must be really tired and stressed out from his trip because nothing he has said since he came made any sense, why would he slash a huge sum of money to get her and again he is ready to pay more for her to marry him when according to him and everyone else, he could get any woman he wants? it just doesn’t make any sense to her.
“Did you really leave for one whole week, while you were away, you somehow, I don’t know how but you somehow decided that you want to be married to me? You want me to marry you? I still don’t get why? It makes no sense, especially if you think about the circumstances surrounding our crossing parts,”
She let out.
“I didn’t just up and say it now, believe whatever you want but we will be married,”
He responded.
“Wait, is that a command? We will be married? What do you think this is? The Stone Age? Or some kind of old historical book where the women were married off without their will?”
Arielle asked. The man was impossible and the more she spend time in his presence the more she could see that he definitely wasn’t normal.
“Okay, I think we can both conclude that we aren’t getting anywhere tonight, who is talking about the olden days? I am talking about you and me, not some history or book, let’s just go inside, you sleep over what I said and I want answers by tomorrow,”
He stated.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“What? I am not going to marry you, Luciano, I don’t need to think about it, you need to get some sleep and get your head checked, there is nothing normal about the way you are talking,”
She fired at him.
“Let’s see, if you don’t agree to marry me, you would have to work for a lifetime to be able to pay back what you owe me, that’s spending eternity with me, or you could take what I offered and be rid of your debts in a year or two, plus be filthy rich too,”
He said. This time he was the one to walk off leaving her standing there, wondering just how and why he thought it was a good idea to marry her, she had nothing and was literally indebted to him, what would be his gain?
“He is insane, I just know it,”
She said as turned and walked back towards the main house, funny how a few minutes ago before he arrived, she had been comfortable and actually a little happy but now, she couldn’t even explain how she felt, maybe she was having a weird bizarre dream, the only logical explanation because why would the Luciano Siegel want to marry her? He was at the top of the food chain while she was at the lowest, no one will take him seriously if he says that, the reasons which were not reasonable that he gave for wanting to marry absolutely do not favor him in any way if she ever agrees to marry him which would never happen, she would be leeching off him which she never wants to be, She wanted to be free from him and go back to her normal life.
The thing is even her normal life wasn’t liveable, there was no one rooting for her, and no one even care that she was here and locked up, the people that facilitated her being her might even be somewhere in the world right now making use of the money that they got from betraying her, even if she does get her freedom, what would she do? Where would she go?
