Arranged To The Masked Mafia King

Chapter 1ArielThe sound of the annoying alarm on my bedside jolted me up from my sleep and I hissed loudly, letting out a string of cusses while I found my way out of the bed groggily. My eyes darted to the huge clock on the wall and a gasp elicited my lips. I had a baking class to attend and the only thing I could do was sleep like a log of wood?Father would so have my head if he realized that I was lazing around by this time of the morning when I was supposed to be up and about. So I rushed to the bathroom to do some cleaning and then I joined my mother in the kitchen. "Good morning, mama," I kissed her cheeks, throwing my arms around her. She squinted her eyes with a questioning look, stirring a cup of steaming coffee she just made with the coffee maker. "You seem excited this morning, can you share the reason for your excitement?" She smiled and put the coffee on a saucer and handed it over to me.With a big grin on my face, I said, "No, mama. Or maybe I'll tell you when I'

Chapter 3ArielIt was just a day to my eighteenth birthday and my marriage to Dmitri. I should have been engrossed with picking nice dresses and searching for good spots to go on picnics with my best friend and family, instead, I'd busied myself with how to abscond without getting tracked.At least, I was doing well in that part. The driver I'd hired through Guilia was ready to take me anywhere I wanted once I was ready. The only thing that gave me a headache was how to leave the house without getting caught by the camera or those annoying guards. I chewed the edge of my pen, scrolling through my phone when I heard footsteps by the door, then a knock. "Let yourselves in," I said coldly and busied myself with the video that seemed to catch my attention. It was all I could do from screaming my lungs out in protest. Keeping calm and watching my parents plan my life like this was enough to make the sanest person mad. They strolled in, my parents, holding hands and then they stopped b

Chapter 5ArielMy stomach grumbled the moment I stepped into the café. I didn't bother to look at the name because I wouldn't be staying for long.Grabbing a bite of any burger they sold and gulping down a cup of strong black coffee to keep me energized was my goal and as soon as I achieved that, I'd take a train that would take me to another state.My heart thumped hard against my chest with panic. I kept passing glances, hoping that no one was trailing me.It was past noon and if my calculations were right, the wedding should be over already. Though Guilia had asked me not to worry about her safety, I couldn't help the fear that sprang up each time I thought about her.Turning back and going home looked like a good option, but that would make me a coward and make all of my efforts to escape look like a joke.After ascertaining that I wasn't being followed, I walked to the stand and ordered a cup of coffee and a plate of hamburger. Fortunately, the café was quite empty save for the

Chapter 7ArielI clutched onto the edge of the chair tightly and sucked in air. His eyes glinted with mischief, showing how much he enjoyed toying with my emotions.I puffed out a nonchalant sigh and swallowed. "There's no home for me to return to. I'm fine where I am," I retorted.He let out a chuckle and leaned on the backrest, folding his arms. "Look, young lady, I don't know why my brother is hell-bent on marrying a little girl like you. All you've done is to cause us trouble and interfere in our plans so you'd better obey me now that I'm asking nicely or your father would bear the brunt of your obstinance," The smile on his face disappeared."And I'll also maintain my stance," I replied stubbornly, raising my chin. "You called me a little girl which I am and I keep asking myself why you all are so insistent on forcing me into a marriage that I'm uninterested in. Your brother is a beast who has no regard for anyone and I can not be with him," Fury took over me and I slammed my fi

Chapter 9DmitriMy eyes followed Rocco's hands and intercepted him before I could think of stopping myself. It was unlike me to interfere in family issues but with the little troublemaker about to get beaten right in front of me, I just couldn't stay still."You can't hit her while I'm here," I reprimanded him with my Capo's tone.He clenched his jaw and snatched his wrist away from me. "This is family business, stay out of it," He growled in anger and I understood the reason for his annoyance.Butting into his business like that made him look weak, but I wouldn't stand him hitting my fiancée, not while I was here."And she's to be my wife. Need I remind you that we'd have been married if you didn't let her slip away from your sight?"He propped his arms against his waist and sighed in agreement, nodding his head. "Tell me, Dmitri, did you find her in a compromised position? Did that fucker lay his filthy hands on her?"My blood boiled with anger at the thought of her sleeping with a
