Business to marriage for love

chapter 4

Inside a modern like office, was two figures seated opposite each other. Vincenzo sat at the office chair while Camilla sat on the visitors chair.

They look like they are at the end of coming to a decision.

“You do know, that once’s you sign these papers there is no turning back.”He reminded.

“I understand. And i have made my decision”she replied. Their gaze locked.

If it was three days ago, she wouldn’t have the courage to stare at her boss like this. But here she is, making fucking eye contact.

“Okay. Here are the rules”Vincenzo said and slide a paper towards her.

She reach for it and grab it. She read it through, nodding her head in agreement.

Her gaze landed on one of the rules, and she glanced up at him.

“This is a contract marriage, not a real marriage privacy is crucial”She stated

“Marriage is marriage. It doesn’t matter if it’s contracted or not”He replied.

“Intimacy three times a week? I think twice a week is preferable.”Camilla mumbled. She bite on her nails, taking her gaze to the floor.

“Why? you can’t keep up?”He questioned.

“Yes”She answered. Her voice barely audible.

He huffled a low chuckle.

She raise her head, staring at everywhere but his eyes.

“Fidelity is crucial too”She added. He nodded. “ I understand”Vincenzo answer. Camilla sigh I’m relief, even if she doesn’t trust him to be faithful with her. After what Ryder did? She will never trust any man, And to say more, their marriage is on contract.

“Anything else?”He ask. She shoke her head.

“There will be a party tonight. My grandfather’s birthday party. after the party we will be leaving for New York.”He announced.

“Okay”she replied.

“There is a maid outside. she will assist you with everything. She can’t help can help bath you.”Vincenzo said.

A frown appeared on her face as she stood on her feet.

“I don’t need someone to bath me. And one last thing.”

“what?”

“Our relationship should be private. I don’t want any one aside family knowing. And our relationship at work should be the same”She declared.

Without waiting for his reply, she walked out of the office. like he said there was really a maid waiting outside the office.

“Ms. Torricelli. I’m Lucia your personal maid, I’ve been instructed to assist you”Lucia introduced. Camilla raised her eyebrow at her, she had never heard an Italian person having a learn English accent. Not even Vincenzo, the Italian accent is always clear when he speaks.

“ok”Camilla replied ignoring the questions that she wanted to ask.

“I’ll lead the way”Lucia said and led the way.

THE BULLS CASINO

“Ahhhh”Ryder whimpered. He was being dragged up the stairs, in a club that was buzzing with music.

They reached the top of the stairs. At the side was short corridor, they dragged him on the floor. Bruising his already bruised body. They reached the office at the end of the corridor, and Ryder was pushed inside.

He crash roughly on the ground. A groan escaping his lips, as he rolled on the floor in pain.

“ahh, fuck”He cursed.

“where is my money?”Came from a man before him. He had a roll of weed between is lips.

“I have it. I will give it to you.”Ryder groaned. He held one hand to his stomach, using the other to support himself to his feet.

“give it to me now” The man demanded.

With great difficulties. Ryder reached for his pocket. He grab the bunch of money that was wrapped in a black paper bag, then drop it on the table.

“This is all i own you. You can count it. Tell this fuckers to stop showing up at my house, if my wife finds out. Bull. She will fucking leave me.”Ryder said. He glared at the men behind him, before turing his gaze toe Bull.

Bull let out a throat laugh filed with mockery. “Your wife leave. I thought she filed for divorce after caughting you in bed with your mistress?”Bull questioned.

Ryder glared. “Stay the fuck out of my business.”

“As you wish.”Bull said. Without another word, Ryder limp away.

He limp down the stairs. His mind going airway.

Here he is. The first son of wealthy familly who was disowned, all because of his ungrateful wife. He sacrificed alot for her, how can she divorce him just because he cheated. He won’t let her go without a fight.

He muttered as he limped out of the Cassino. “Ungrateful bitch.”

He crossed the cross road and brought out his phone from his back pocket. He dialed Sophia number, she answered after the first ring.

“Come pick me. I’m at the Bulls casino.”Ryder said. Without waiting for her reply end the call.

GIOVANNI VILLA “CAMILLA ROOM”

Camilla stood infront of the mirror, staring at her reflection. She was undeniably alluring. Her crimson red gown hugged her body in all the right places. Her curves where visible. At the top of the dress, alittle of her cleavage showed.

Her silk black hair was let down, reaching her waistline. Diamonds hang round her waist, her hands where flooded with diamond bracelets.

She stared at herself with complete surprise. Never had she imagined herself in such a magnificent dress. Her wedding dress with Ryder can’t even compare.

Lucia took her time to make her look beautiful. She couldn’t be more grateful.

Lucia let out a gasp from beside Camilla. She just finished putting her dress in order.

“Ms. Torricelli, you look divine.”Camilla chuckled. “Master won’t be able to take his eyes off you when he sees you.”Lucia admit. Heat raise to Camilla’s cheek turing red.

“Speak of master. Where is my husband please?”Camilla asked. She wanted their marriage to sound extraordinary real.

“He is at the party, Ms. Torricelli.”Lucia answered. She took a step away from Camilla.

“The party as already began?”Camilla asked.

“Yes. But before you leave, Master asked me to give you this.”Lucia said and walk away. She came back shortly with a small box. She open it, a gasp left Camilla’s throat. Inside the box seating perfectly was a ring designed with black diamon and sapphire.

With a sad smile, Lucia spoke. “This used to be lady Rosa’s. It was her wedding ring.”

Camilla gaze sweeped from the ring to Lucia. She was tempted to ask, who was Rosa? But she didn’t. She wouldn’t want to blow their cover.

Their contract marriage, was a secret between them. To every other person, they are two individuals who got married out of love. But to her and Vincenzo, this marriage was a marriage of convince.

She gives him an heir, he’ll be her backbone financially and when she is ready for revenge.

She has been betrayed once’s, and won’t let her fragile heart be shattered twice. She won’t give her heart to Vincenzo, don’t trust him that much.
