Betrothed To The Ruthless Mafia

“Last two weeks, it was reported that Mr. Enzo killed six of RE’s men. No one knows why but he just did it!”

“No… What?!?” Both Lucretia and Rosana chorused, their eyes going round.

“Why am I hearing about it just now?” Rosana asked, looking from Angelica to Ville who stood at the door. “Why would he even do that? Did my husband know about this?”

“We just got the information, My Lady and yes, the Don knew about it. He has different sources in the different clans all around the world”

Lucretia looked away, her eyes focused on the window. For the past week, she had avoided Enzo and declined all the VIP sessions with him. Thankfully, Talitha never knew about it because after accepting to dance, she always asked Sonya to fill in for her.

She also danced however she wanted with the men at the club but didn’t let them touch her. Not because Enzo was always watching but because she wanted her body to heal from all the maltreatment it had undergone for the past years.

“A lot had happened last two weeks. Lucretia was attacked… And…” Rosana paused and turned to look at Lucretia. “Enzo took her to the hospital”

“That is right.” Angelica nodded in agreement. “She also mentioned that the man who attacked her was from the RE clan”

“No… No… Hold on a minute” Lucretia laughed. She already knew where they were driving at because she also had that in mind. “Are you trying to say that he went there and killed six men just because one hurt me? That is insane”

Rosana nodded. “Yes, it is. I mean, he would not have anything because you made him angry by stepping on his toes”

“But he took her to the hospital and remained with her. He did not even allow us to spend more than thirty minutes with her” Angelica shrugged. “And he also brought her back when she was discharged”

Lucretia squeezed her eyes shut and wished the ground could open up and swallow her. She had not even digested the news about Enzo killing six of RE’s men. Now, Angelica was indirectly trying to expose their relationship. No, it wasn’t any kind of relationship, she concluded in her mind. But how would she even know what a relationship felt like after all these years?

“I… I never knew about that” Rosana broke in, surprise laced in her voice.

“It was unimportant at the time. But I planned on spilling all the juices during our tea time”

“It is okay. I cannot blame you because you were not fully recovered at the time.” Rosana replied and smiled. “And Enzo turned out to be sweet on you. Do not worry, I will thank him whenever I see him and I will tell him to back off. I cannot have him being around you”

“Because he is really dangerous!” She added the last part in a whisper.

“Finally, I get a hold of you, Cari? o” Enzo’s dark voice broke through the darkness, making her shiver. He drew in smoke from his cigarette and puffed out smoke in the air.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Lucretia wrapped her arms around her body and waited for him to get into the light. “You have been following me”

“I always do, Cari? o!”

“Good” She said in her mind. That was exactly what she wanted. After dancing, she dressed up quickly and left the clubhouse to a secluded place where no one could see or hear them.

“Well, you need to stop. People have been watching and soon, they will start talking. I already told you I do not need you. I am not some little girl that needs protection and care”

He finally stepped under the light, dressed in black sweatpants, boots, and hoodie which covered part of his face. Lucretia stood firmly and tried not to break into a run. She just wanted to talk and end things with him as planned, nothing more.

“Did anyone ever tell you you talk too much? I am tempted to put that sweet little mouth of yours into better work”

Lucretia gulped and lowered her eyes to his sweatpants. She had always wanted to know what he felt like, what he tasted like… No doubt he would be big… Quickly, she erased the thought from her mind. But even as she did, her body was already out of control. For two weeks, he had not touched her. A part of her missed him and another part wanted nothing to do with him.

“Let me just make myself clear” She continued firmly. “I know I agreed to be yours but I am not anymore. I do not want anything to do with you and I do not want you coming after me. Whatever we started… This… It ends right f*cking now!”

He smirked. Cold. Dark. Evil.

“Say it one more time, Cari? o”

She gulped and took a step backward. There was something about the look on his face that caused sizzles down her spine. It made her skin tingle as heat flooded her veins.

“I am not yours anymore. Everything ends…”

“I think it is a very bad idea to complete that” He grabbed her at once and draped her over his shoulders. She started yelling, hitting his back with her hands, and thrashing her legs in the air but none of those could stop him.

“Game over, Cari? o” He spoke darkly and dropped her inside the car. Before she could make a move, he grabbed a robe and tied her hands and legs. “There, perfect. Any last words?”

“F*CK YOU!!!”

He smirked and taped her mouth, closing up every other word inside it. “You are in so much trouble because we will be doing more than that”

Enzo got into the car and drove off, ignoring her muffled cries. He was furious, alive with it, and pulsing with it. One hand clutched the steering wheel, knuckles white, while the other rested on the gearshift, clenching and unclenching like he wanted to hit someone… Strangle someone.

For two weeks, he stayed back and watched her live as she wanted. She had already told him that she wanted nothing to do with him but that didn’t mean he agreed to anything she said. He was just patiently waiting for her to recover fully before he reminded her who she belonged to. Him.

She belonged to him and no one else.
