Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

The ride back to the office was quiet, Luciano wanted to take her directly to the penthouse but he already told Yoey to meet him at the office and he couldn’t cancel, she wasn’t even looking at him, he messed up so bad, he didn’t know how he was going to fix the relationship he broke just yet but he wanted to fix things, life would be hell without her and he confirmed it tonight already, somehow, he couldn’t figure out how but the woman sitting away from him became the most important person in his life and he wanted to keep her close to him forever.

When they got to the office, she walked ahead of him without saying a word to him, and he followed silently behind her.

“Boss, you are here, thank God,”

Yoey said when he entered the office before Arielle did, she had waited for him to enter first and followed behind him.

“Wow, you guys have made up already? You finally listened to me?”

Yoey asked when he saw Arielle, Luciano wished that was the case but they were far from making up. The way he would have been happy if they had indeed made up.

“Don’t worry, we aren’t together, he is all yours,”

Arielle responded and walked away, she went over to the couch she had used the first time she had come to his office and sat down, Luciano just stood there not knowing what to do.

“She thinks I am in love with you, boss,”

Yoey revealed.

“What?”

He asked, confused.

“I told you before, didn’t I? That’s why she hates me, she thinks I am trying to keep her away from you because I am in love with you,”

the young man explained, it was sort of funny but Luciano wasn’t in the mood to laugh.

“Are you in love with me?”

“Bro? What the hell? No, even if I like men which I don’t, it can’t be you, you are totally not my type,”

Yoey yelped sounding offended.

“Why are you shouting, I am loveable,”

Luciano argued.

“Hmm, I don’t think so,”

Yoey answered.

“Can you guys keep it down? you are not the only ones in this place,”

Arielle called out from where she sat. Luciano looked from Yoey to her and realized with the two of them around, he was doomed, they were his favorite people in the world right now and Arielle hated the two of them, at least he had one thing in common with Yoey. he walked toward Arielle, praying that she will not be hostile towards him with Yoey around.

“Baby? Let me help you make that comfortable,”

He said when he got to her, gesturing at the couch, she stood up wordlessly and he lifted the couch and fixed it so that it was like a bed, which was more comfortable. He used it a lot over the last week.

“Oh, this is much better, I am so tired, thank you,”

She said laying on the bed, the first kind words she had said to him since he found her, it wasn’t much, but it was something. He covered her with the wrap there and stood watching her, she had her eyes closed and looked so much like the Arielle he married and fell in love with, the person she had been before he broke her.

“Stop looking at me and leave Luciano, you have work to do, right? That’s why we are here,”

She scolded and he got himself back, remembering why he was at the office by midnight but he didn’t want to walk away, she opened her eyes and glared at him.

“I love you,”

He blurted out and left her. He decided he would say those words to her every opportunity he gets until she finally believes him and takes him back.

“Wow boss, I didn’t know you can be such a lover boy but we learn every day, you did good, and I am proud of you,”

Yoey said when he got back to where he sat.

“Shut up and show me what brought the two of us here,”

He replied as he took his seat.

“Right, let’s get to work, I have checked it a couple more times and we have our man or should I say, woman,”

Yoey said and Luciano quickly turned to the screen in front of him, he silently watched the particular clip and at first, he missed it but when he looked closer, he paused it and zoomed in.

“What the fuck?”

He yelled and had to cover his mouth hoping that Arielle didn’t hear him, he didn’t want her to know what was going on, this was just a lot worse, he didn’t need a prophet to tell him who it was that killed his grandfather, it was her all along, she killed him.

“That was my reaction too when I realized, I don’t know how we missed it, it was right under our nose,”

Yoey said but Luciano was half listening, he couldn’t believe it, he sent his grandfather to the person that killed him, if he had let Don stay with him, if they had kept working together, he would have still been alive, he was the one that called Lily, that told her to come to take him home, it was all his fault.

“Fucking hell, I called her to come take him home, it is all my fault,”

he whispered. His heart was in shambles, he knew she was evil but it never crossed his mind that she actually killed him herself. The fact that they had found his gun at the scene of the crime too, he still couldn’t figure out how that got there and how it became the weapon found at the scene of the crime even though that’s not what was used to kill him, aside from when she had come to pick Don up, she had never been close to him before and then he remembered.

“Fuck!”

He let out. It was his fault, he had left the gun on his table when she had come to take Don and he had forgotten about it, she must have taken it then.

“What is it?”

Yoey asked.
