Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

“I now pronounce you man and wife,”

The officiating minister said and the crowd cheered, Luciano watched his new wife go red in real-time when the minister said to kiss, he laughed and pulled her to him, sealing their union with a brief kiss after which, the wedding party moved to the hall and everyone one partied.

“Are you okay?”

Luciano asked his new wife when they went back to their seat after having their first couple dance, she looked like she wanted to run away.

“No, can you excuse me for a moment? I will like to use the restroom,”

She responded.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“You want me to come with you?”

“No, it won’t make any sense if the bride and groom leave their wedding right?”

She said as she stood up.

“Okay, be back early, you know where the restroom is?”

Luciano asked looking around for someone to call in case she didn’t.

“Yes, I do, I will be right back,”

She said and walked away leaving him on his own, his uncle was currently giving a speech and he honestly didn’t want to sit and listen to the old man talk, half of the things he was saying about him were wrong, heck the man didn’t even acknowledge him even though they lived together for more than twenty years, now he was lying about how much of a great kid Luciano had been and what not, Luciano’s eyes went to his grandfather who was sitting with his new woman, the old man was all smiles, yeah, why won’t he smile when his plans finally worked? What he didn’t know is the success was short-term, he didn’t have to know anyway.

Speaking of which, he looked around and there was no sight of Arielle even though she left more than ten minutes ago, maybe she couldn’t locate the restroom after all, he got up from his seat and made his way in the direction she had taken, he was stopped by a couple of people that he simply couldn’t ignore, he said his hellos and thank yous, and continued on his way.

“So you finally got married? Wow, the things you would do for an inheritance, I don’t know if it was worth it,”

Macko said, blocking his way, Luciano hadn’t seen him coming and he decided not to give him a reason to get to him, let him talk and be stupid.

“I got married yea, I don’t remember inviting you though,”

He voiced.

“What? I don’t need to be invited, I am family, in case you have forgotten, don’t worry I won’t chase you away if you show up at my wedding, in fact, I am inviting you,”

The idiot said.

“And I decline that invite, whatever you came here for Macko better stay away from me, I won’t stop myself from running you down if you overstep the line,”

Luciano warned.

“What? Just because you got married, do you think you automatically win? How gullible are you to assume that? What? Already threatening me?”

Macko said with a laugh.

“I don’t do threats, and I don’t have to be married to get anything, so shut it,”

Luciano voiced, all he wanted to do was find his wife and make sure she was okay but this mudafucker was blocking his way and pissing him off.

“The extent you went to get what you want is not hidden though, I am sure if this new wife of yours finds out who you really are, she would run and hide from you,”

Macko said with a laugh.

“I am warning you, don’t go close to my wife, I won’t hesitate to crush you, don’t test me, get out of my way fucker,”

He said and pushed him out of the way, he had a wife to look for and he wasn’t about to waste his time on an idiot like his cousin.

******************

Ariel stared at the wedding band on her finger as she tried to process the last couple of hours, she just got married, she really did marry him and now she had two years to live with him and be called his, she didn’t know what to do with it.

Today has been so hectic, right from when she woke up till this moment, she hasn’t rested or had time to breathe properly, she was beyond exhausted and wanted everything to end already but she knew it wasn’t ending anytime soon, there was still a lot of things left on the order of ceremony list.

“Are you okay? Do you want to leave now?”

Luciano asked ad he walked into the restroom she was in.

“What are you doing here? This is the lady’s room,”

She whispered, wondering why the helm he felt it was okay to come to find her in the ladies.

“I know, but you were taking so long in here and it wasn’t looking nice with me seated alone,”

Responded still not leaving, what did she expect from him, he was the Luciano after all, he can do whatever he wants and get away with it.

“Right, I am sorry, I was just overwhelmed by the attention and wanted to breathe,”

She said as turned her back to him and she stared into the mirror, she looked like a whole different person.

“It will be over soon and we can be alone,”

He said tugging her hand and turning her to face him, the brief kiss that they shared earlier played back in her mind, the only positive thing that has happened in the last couple of hours.

“I want that,”

She said softly.

“Wow, who are you and what did you do to my sassy Arielle who tells me off?”

He asked before kissing her, she couldn’t help the little leap her heart did when he called her his, oh she knew she shouldn’t be thrilled by it, she blamed the wedding bliss and the magic in the air for it.

“Let’s get out of here before I take you in the restroom,”

He said and pulled her with him out of the restroom and once again she was thrown into a crowd of people she didn’t know and had to smile through it all, one thing was sure, the Siegel family was large and they might not be close but they all show up for each other.

The only person Arielle was glad to meet again was Lilybee who congratulated her and even gave her advice on how to make Luciano stick to her forever, Arielle had laughed it off because she knew their union wasn’t a forever kind of union, plus their wedding vows didn’t even contain anything like forever.
