Aziel: Ex-Mafia's Son-in-Law

I never even once imagined that I would be married to a girl that I once loathed. A single mistake may lead to my instant passing as I tremble while waiting for her in front of the officiant with a gun pointing against my head. I tried to calm myself down, but the waiting made me more nervous. Not a single friend of mine nor any family members attended our sudden wedding. I do not know how I should explain everything to them once this extremity is over — the only thing I know right now is that I must misbehave with their demands. Shortly after I went home from a business trip not too long ago, a group of fortified men suddenly snared me from my apartment. I was kidnapped and prayed to them to save my life, veritably nonplussed as to why I was being held captive. Despite menacingly brandishing their guns, they refrained from causing me physical harm. "D-Dear gentlemen... I'm just a regular employee. My family is not even wealthy enough to afford ransom money for me. You might have mi

On my way out, I spotted Laia crouching isolated on the corner of the street. I had assumed she had already departed, as their group wasn't at their table when I returned from the restroom.Seeing her alone, I suddenly felt the urge to rectify things, even if it meant reconciling with her after playing around and breaking things off the next day."What was I even thinking?" I muttered.I was about to call for a cab when I suddenly saw her stumble to the ground as she tried to stand up and walk. Normally, I would have laughed my heart out already seeing her wasted like that, but I strangely felt annoyed instead."Damn! Why did you even drink if you can't even handle it?" I grumbled as I approached her.I scooped her into my arms and examined her disheveled appearance up close. Her skin appeared remarkably soft, and her scent, a delicate blend of perfume and alcohol, intoxicated me. I nearly lost my composure, tempted to kiss her neck right then and there in public."Laia... Where are yo

It's been weighing me for such a long time. Laia's identity was extremely mysterious. Even though we attended the same grade school. No one could actually identify which family she came from. Also, her parents or relatives never participated in any school activities. She was exempted from those activities for some reasons. Despite being a loner, no one tried to bully her except me. "I was really a j*rk back then," I whispered while I was in front of my office computer. "You're still a j*rk though," a coworker and friend, Eric, sitting beside me said while tapping my shoulder and bursting into laughter. "Sh*t!" I exclaimed, realizing I was talking aloud. Eric laughed as he looked away and continued with his task. I also did the same, but I couldn't focus on my work. ************************ A week has already passed and Carlo hadn't gotten back to me regarding Laia's information so I decided to drop by his house. I rang his phone when I was already around the area. Ring! Ring!

I never really cared whomever I ended up with. However, marriage is quite insufferable for a happy go lucky like me. Will she cooperate or will she let me die without mercy? "Hah! Laia... Is this what you were talking about that night? I feel like I'm a moth caught in a blazing fire," I sighed, covering my eyes with my right arm, lying flat on a soft and unfamiliar bed in a huge unfamiliar room, and guarded by armed men by the door. I felt like a prisoner whose life is about to end. I don't even know if I am already regretting jumping into this mess. I only felt sleepy and uneasy. Let it be if this will be the end of me. I wanted to think more about the situation, but my body suddenly shuts down on its own. It was already bright outside. "Did you sleep well, Mr. Elrod?" Mr. Adler asked. "I'm not sure if it's a good thing, but I did," I replied as I rolled out of the bed. I felt refreshed since they are no longer pointing their guns against me. Though I still feel jitters from see

I arrived at the chapel early with Mr. Adler, clutching a bouquet of beautiful flowers that I had purchased for Laia. Feeling nervous and unsure about my decision to marry Laia. I am still not sure if I am ready for this kind of commitment.As I entered the chapel, I saw Mr. Adler stopped walking with me and stood by the door. I approached him and handed over the bouquet of flowers I had bought for Laia."Could you please give these to Laia?" I nervously asked Mr. Adler, my voice shaking slightly in nervousness as I looked at all the men surrounding me. "I want to apologize for the way things happened before and I want to surprise her before the wedding."Mr. Adler smiled genuinely and nodded, taking the bouquet from my hands. "I'll make sure she gets them," he said. I watched as Mr. Adler walked away and disappeared into the chapel. I took a deep breath and tried to calm his nerves as he approached Mr. Dominique, who was standing in front of the altar beside the officiant with a wea
