Ariella
I finished dressing and made my way downstairs, amazed at how romantic Luis was pretending to be. "Oh, there comes my darling wife," Lius said, approaching me as I took my final step. He reached out for my hand and kissed it.
"Papa," I smiled as I sat on the couch beside him holding back my tears.
"How are you doing, princess? I have missed you; why didn't you tell me you loved Lius and not Enrico?" He asked, and I had no idea how to respond.
“No, it's not like that I —"
"Dad, Ariella, and I are very sorry; we should have told you sooner," Luis interrupted me.
"Yes, I am sorry papa," I agreed, not wanting Luis to reveal any secrets.
"I will forgive both of you, but not again," Dad said, and we smiled at each other.
"I will excuse both of you and come back later to have fun," Luis said, exiting the living room.
"Madam, would you like us to bring you anything?" the maid inquired, standing beside my father.
“Uh, no, I'm OK. Just make my father coffee and bring it to the garden," I said as we stood up to go there.
We moved a few steps away from the mansion and entered the garden. "Dad, are you all right?" I inquired, hoping he was not worried about anything.
"Of course not; Luis is a completely nice guy. I never imagined a Mafia Don had a heart, but are you certain the two of you will work out?" he asked.
‘Oh my, what am I supposed to say? I don't even like that beast,’ I said at the back of my head.
“Hello, Arie," Dad said, waving his hand at my face.
"Yes, I'm sure about it papa," I replied with a smile.
"Okay, I am happy for you, but what will happen when Enrico finds out? I mean, you were supposed to marry him in the first place?” Dad asked.
"Dad, do not worry, Luis said he has everything under control; since I do not like Enrico, he will just have to accept that I can not be with him," I said confidently.
"I hope you are going to be OK I'm just scared —”
"Oh, Mr. Johnson, do not worry about anything; you and Ariella are in good hands. Enrico will not touch either of you,” Luis interrupted.
“OK, son, I'm entrusting you with my princess's life. You better take good care of her, OK?"
“Sure, Mr. Johnson, I'll do so," he replied, kissing my hand.
‘What a jerk! Does he even think I'll be here for long?’ I thought to myself.
"It is getting late now; I will need to go back home, children; please take care of yourselves," Dad said as the guards led him to the car.
Luis removed his hand from my waist just as the car began to drive away, giving me a disgusted look. “I can't deny your acting was quite good. I had no idea you could be a good actress in addition to being a lawyer," Luis stated.
"Look here, sir, I am not sure what games you are trying to get me into, but you will get in trouble with the law, so let me go before it is too late," I warned.
"To be honest, I am not involving you in any games; I just needed to get my hands on my enemy's prey before them, okay," he said, and I could not believe what I was hearing.
“What? So this is about power huh? Do you even know how long people are imprisoned for what you have just done?" I inquired.
"Maybe, but I do not think anyone in their right mind would want to lock up their husband, right?" he asked, and I felt disgusted.
"You are not my husband, and I will never be your wife, so keep dreaming. When Enrico finds out about this, he'll—”
Luis cut me off with a laugh and started shaking his head. "Maybe you should do your homework, Ms. Intelligence," Luis said quietly before walking away.
"Gosh!” I exclaimed, frustrated because I did not even understand what was going on.
I screamed out my lungs and started crying. I have never felt so helpless before. I only took a job to help fund my upcoming exams, but it all ended up putting me in the worst possible situation. One I would like to watch burn down when my career reaches new heights. "Hey there, I heard you screaming and thought I would come help," Emily said, approaching me with a rope.
“What do you want?" I asked my tone so rough.
"Hey, watch your tone. Do you think being Luis's wife gives you power over me?" Emily inquired, staring at me disgustingly.
I didn't even have time to answer her stupid questions, so I walked away. Just as I was about to enter the mansion, I ran into a young woman. “Ouch!" I heard her scream.
“I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to —"
“Who the hell are you?" she asked, looking confused.
“Nobody, I mean I'm Ariella—"
“Wait, aren't you a famous law student?" she asked.
"Yes it's—”
"Annie, what happened sweetie?" Emily interrupted as she walked in.
"It is nothing; I am just wondering what the famous lawyer is doing here," she responded.
“What! You don't know? She is your brother's new wife," Emily responded.
"Luis got married? I mean how and when?” Annie asked, looking surprised.
"Well, you know your brother is so mysterious about everything," Emily said, leading Annie away.
"Goodness, will I ever wake up from this dream?" I wondered to myself before someone else responded.
"That is if you want to," they said, and I immediately looked up to see who it was.
“Hi, I'm Kendy. I am so sorry for what happened to you, Ariella right?" she asked.
“Yes–yes, that's right,” I replied, meeting her hand.
"I am such a big fan of yours, and I love how you get to help people so early in your career; you are so impressive," she said, smiling at me.

CHAPTER 3Atlanta, Georgia Luis Ariella is undeniably beautiful and intelligent. I am relieved Enrico did not get to make the first move; otherwise, my entire Mafia would be in trouble. "Boss, we sent the message to Enrico," David, my right-hand man, said, standing on the opposite side of the table. "Good, I can not wait to hear from him," I replied, smiling devilishly."You outsmarted him on this one," David responded."I always enjoy crushing my rivals' pride.”“So, what are we going to do with Ms. Johnson?” David asked."Ms. Johnson huh? Do not let anyone hear you call her by her original surname," I told him as I prepared my cigarette."Sure, Boss, I won't," David agreed before approaching me with a lighter.He returned to stand at the door while I completed some paperwork. "May I come in?" I heard a voice ask from outside, and I looked up to see Emily."I hope you came for something important because you, of all people, know how much I dislike being disturbed," I said, looking

CHAPTER 4Ariella “Please don't shoot!" I exclaimed as I opened my eyes."Mrs. Deluca calm down,” a strange man said."Who—who are you?” I asked."My name is Thomas Guerra. I am Deluca's family doctor, which means I will be your doctor as well," the man said, and I confirmed with his dressing.“OK, what happened?" I asked, feeling so weak."Your fear of guns got the best of you, and you passed out," Luis explained as he walked in.I felt like jumping on him and slicing him up; how dare he point a gun at me? “You will —" I could not even finish my sentence because I started to feel weaker.“What's happening to her?" Luis asked the doctor."Nothing; it is just the side effect of the medication I gave her. Mrs. Deluca will come around soon, and please ensure she eats enough," the doctor said before walking away."David accompany him,” Luis said while walking towards me."Ariella Johnson, the only adamant law student to bring down the mafia, why do you think you are brave enough if you

CHAPTER 5Atlanta, Georgia Enrico "Call everyone here right now!" I told my right hand, Mathews, in an angry tone.“Boss, is everything OK?" He asked, but I threw everything on my table to the ground and turned it over.“Are you going or should I do it myself?" I asked him this time, pointing a gun directly at his chest, and we both knew my bullets never missed. "I—I will," he said quickly, hurrying out.I was still in my office, destroying everything in my path as a sense of defeat burned inside me. "Oh my goodness, Enrico, what is the matter?" Monica inquired as she and my men hurried into my office."I should be asking all of you that now," I said, staring at everyone fiercely, including Monica, who did not bow her head like the others because she was my girlfriend."What happened, Enrico—did the Delucas offend you, or is it that stubborn bitch?" Monica asked as she attempted to approach me, but I pointed my gun at her."Stop or you might regret taking another step," I warned in

CHAPTER 6Ariella I'm so worried and don't even know what to do. I know Lius has his men closely watching me on campus and everywhere I go from now on. I was in the car thinking about something when the driver took out a black card and a lunch box. "Mrs. Deluca, sir, asked me to give you this," he said, and I just wanted to throw it all away but could not because I was not sure what punishment I would face if I did. "I am fine; you can take that back. I will manage," I said, faking a smile."Madam, please take it; I will lose my life or break a bone if I return this to Mr. Deluca," the driver begged, but how was that going to be my problem? I assured him that nothing would happen and was about to get out of the car when I remembered how blood dripped from Luis' face when he forced me to sign the paperwork, so I quickly returned to take the card and launch box."I am sorry I was not thinking straight," I said, apologizing for nearly killing the innocent driver.“Ariella!" I heard Emm

CHAPTER 7Ariella Emma seemed to have a lot of questions after class. "I think I need to tell the both of you something," I said as I was about to speak when she interrupted me. “When did this happen?" "It is not what you think; I was forced into this whole thing, and I would not want anything to do with the Mafia. Just help me get out of this mess; I'm—”"Honey, you should not say stuff like that; people might think I am mistreating you, right Klara?" Luis interrupted, handing Klara a box of chocolates.“Ye—Yes,” she stuttered with fear in her tone."Calm down, I am your brother-in-law, so I do not mean any harm to you, my wife, and I have to go home now; if you do not mind, I can have my driver drop you off," Luis said, and Emma hesitated, but Klara gave in. We all went to the car, and the driver went to drop off Klara and Emma before driving us home. Luis removed his arm from my shoulder as soon as the car came to a stop and pulled me out by hand. "What are you doing? Let go." I

CHAPTER 8Luis I have been in Ariella's room for about 5 minutes and she has not even gotten out of the shower. I don't think she knows what I'm like when angry. How could a girl like her make me wait so long? It had been about ten minutes when I decided to go into the bathroom, but she was not there.What? Could she have escaped or something? I quickly called the cameraman to check, but he said he had last seen her with my sister, so I went to her room and found her alone. "Luis, what is the matter?" Annie inquired, noting my worried expression."It is nothing. Have you seen Ariella anywhere?" I asked."You mean the famous law student?" she said."Umm, I believe so, but she should be in her room," Annie replied, putting her clothes in the closet.“OK I'll go —" "Wait," she interrupted. I knew she was going to ask about me and Ariella, so I told her to wait and walked away. I went to Ariella's room and found the door exactly as I had left it. “Boss, are you OK?" I heard David ask a

CHAPTER 9Ariella I did not expect Luis to be such a jerk; after all, he is a moron. I needed to fix my hair and went to Kendy for help; I was curious why such a sweet and understanding woman would want to be in this hell of a mansion. What am I even saying? It is a mansion, after all, and who would not want to live in one unless it was me who felt suffocated here? When Luis dragged me out of Kendy's room, I witnessed his brutality.I did not have anything against the Delucas, even though they think they run Atlanta, but now that I have been forced to marry Luis, I believe my hatred has begun. I hope Emma can help me get out of this marriage, but how will I explain to Dad that I was forced? He might have a heart attack or something, which I can not afford to cause because he will think my life is in danger.I was still deep in thought when I heard a knock on my door and asked the person to come in. I did not have to guess who it was because the moment I saw her—Kendy—a smile appeared

CHAPTER 10Ariella Looks like all the men in this mansion really like getting their way with women. How could a man like Marcus even try to get anywhere close to me after all that bad stuff I've heard of him? Forcing girls into stripping and sometimes taking people's girlfriends away in front of them. How wicked could that be? I was still lost in my thoughts when the door opened and Kendy walked in. “Mrs. Deluca good morning I hope you had a great night would you—"“No, I'm fine. I'll have breakfast at Emma's house. You can get busy with something else, OK," I cut her off, but she gave me a terrified look.“Emma?" she asked, looking surprised."Yes, that is my buddy. We have an assignment together, so I will dine at her apartment, and you can just get busy with anything else," I answered, pulling my hair into a ponytail.“OK but have you asked for permission from Mr. Deluca?" she questioned."I am not his slave or anything; I have rights and won't—I mean, why should I do that—?”I wa

CHAPTER 36Ariella I can not believe that beast of a man locked me in here without a second thought simply because he feels I am to blame for his sister getting drunk at the party. I assumed she was going to have fun with Emma but not go to that level, but I was mistaken. I tried calling Emma and Annie, but neither of them wanted to answer.I tried Kendy's, and she picked it up. "Kendy, please tell Luis to come open the door; I am late for something," I pleaded, but she did not appear to hear anything.“Hello, hello can you hear me?" She responded, and I was weary of repeating what I had told her, so I decided to continue banging from the inside.I became exhausted and walked to the balcony, but nobody was there, and the guards could not hear me.I was ready to give up hope when Luis and David walked out. Just as he was about to get into the car, I threw water on him from above, and I could not believe how quickly David pointed the pistol in my direction before putting it back whe

After all that transpired, she is just being normal, if not a little strange.I just hope there's nothing I don't know about. I have seen her partly nude several times and must agree that she has great form, but what she looked like in the dress simply stole my breath away.Ariella is damn gorgeous.When we arrived at the Red Rose event, I did not anticipate her agreeing to play Chess with a McDonald's maid, but what surprised me much more was that she beat that Monica woman.Something difficult for anybody to perform, even after several efforts. I wanted to congratulate her, but I was not ready to seem foolish.‘I'm your wife not some damn slave!” her words echoed in my head."Boss, we are home," David announced, and I immediately got out of the car to open the door for Ariella, who was furious."Please excuse me," she murmured as she stepped into the house, and I followed her,

CHAPTER 34Ariella Monica sat on the opposite side of the table, flashing me a nasty smirk. Simply glancing at her, one could tell she was dressed boldly. The chandeliers illuminated the space, and I could tell Luis was worried, though it was not evident.I've studied my devil husband."Too bad it looks like you are ready to lose when we are still not well into the game," Monica said coyly."Confidence without prudence is a hazardous habit in our world, especially when it comes from someone unfamiliar with Newton's third law, don't you think?" I replied looking into her eyes."It is not that essential anyway, I am far better at these than you would ever believe, so do yourself a favor and surrender," Monica grinned as she moved her knight."I enjoy the attitude; I only hope it lasts," I reacted, keeping my eyes on the board and moving my bishop.“Take a look at that sweetie," I added."Hmm, pretty good for a beginning, but pros do not worry," Monica grins as she scans the board."I a

CHAPTER 33Ariella “What have you done?!" Luis questioned in a gruff tone, but I had to remain cool and appear as if it did not shake my feet.“Seriously now? I thought you knew you are not just my husband but also a wonderful brother, so let your sister live her life and enjoy the world beyond these walls," I said, going to walk away when he took my hand.“Uhmm would you like anything?" I asked."We will be attending an occasion tonight; prepare to meet my designer and appear like my wife or else—""Will there ever be a day when you stop threatening me?" I cut him off before walking away.I made my way upstairs and met Marcus at Kendy's door. “Arie…—”"Please get rid of that smile I have not forgotten about our bargain yet, so get ready because I will need you tonight," I remarked before walking away.I entered my room and shut the door before standing in front of the mirror and taking a deep breath. I stroked my cheek and gently brushed away the tears that had made my eyesight clou

CHAPTER 32Luis I can't lose to a woman. I am not sure why I raced out like an idiot when she requested me to apply lotion to her back. That's not supposed to be something difficult. It is not the first time I have touched a woman or seen her naked, but something about Ariella is ready to drive me insane if I do not get myself together.I returned to her room and found her on her phone, about to make a call, but stopped when she spotted me. “Aren't you going to respond?" I inquired while Emma repeatedly called her name, but she remained focused on me.“Emma, I'll call you back later, my…My husband has arrived," she added before hanging up the phone.That is hardly something she would say with much enthusiasm. What the hell am I missing?"I am returned to apply lotion to your back," I remarked, but she merely grinned and took a big breath before informing me she had already done it herself.Dammit, I missed that chance. Now I feel like some idiot.“Boss—”"David, please wait for me a

CHAPTER 31Ariella Emma and I headed to her office. I simply loved spending time there rather than returning to the estate where firearms can be seen from every angle. I am just hoping there are no explosives in there."So, Ariella Johnson, what is your next plan?" Emma inquired, and I did not mind when she addressed me by my father's surname. It is not like I want anything to do with the DeLuca surname."Girl, you should call me that frequently; I truly feel at ease with that last name," I said.“I know right, so answer the question." "I was initially eager to get rid of that beast of a man's surname, but now I want him behind bars for murdering my father. I will have an easier time dealing with Enrico if I first deal with the most vicious Don," I explained."Ariella you are becoming more aggressive by the day; are you sure you are okay?""I am not doing given the things I have been doing lately, but—""Oh, baby, that is all right; I am here," she said, hugging me.I sobbed for a l

CHAPTER 30Ariella This man is ruthless. I wish I could just stop what I am doing, but my father's grave deserves justice. I was in the study the entire time and did not see Luis when he returned. Is it possible that another entrance leads inside this mansion? I asked myself deep into my crazy thoughts.I resumed studying for the second test and eventually fell asleep due to exhaustion. This was something I would typically do at home, and my father would take me to bed, but this time I awoke in the devil's study. I glanced at the clock and could not believe I was going to be late when I heard someone attempting to break into Luis' study. Who could be trying to get in here so early?Not wanting to move, I just waited for the person to open the door before pressing a biometric button to turn on the lights when my gaze landed on Marcus.“Ariella! What are you doing here?" He inquired, attempting to mask his embarrassment, but I was too skilled for that game."I assumed this was my hus

CHAPTER 29Luis “Aren't they here yet?" I asked David.“Yes Boss." Ariella has been acting weirdly; I have no idea how she became so daring suddenly. I was still shocked when she served my food and asked me to pour her coffee. I felt like all of my alternatives had been exhausted, and I stood there obediently following her request. I can not believe she could stroll calmly while clutching my arm and entering my study. I'm now trapped in my command. I blame my foolish lawyer and David."Boss, your lawyer has left the nation and will only return next week," David stated as he walked into my office.“This is all your fault. How could you go as far as adding her fingerprints? Do you have any notion how many safes she can open?""Boss, I am sorry, I thought I was following your commands," David said, although this made no sense at all."David, did my grandmother ask you to promise her something?" I asked since I knew him so well."No Boss I…I—" "Damn it, David, how could you be so care

CHAPTER 28Enrico Monica is such a stubborn woman; I have warned her several times to get out of Ariella's way, but she lets her jealousy get in the way. I have never informed Ariella or anyone else that she is my girlfriend, save for the members of my Mafia. Now she is weeping over whatever Ariella did to her on campus, and I am expected to soothe her."Babe, I am talking to you; are you even listening to what I am saying? Ariella humiliated me today," she reiterated after saying it several times."I heard you, honey; you need to calm down," I said.“What is that supposed to mean? Enrico, do you even know what rumors are saying around campus right now?" she inquired."Monica, please, I need to focus. Will you calm down or just go so I have my peace?”"Oh, it has gotten to this now, huh?" She said, making her way out before I stopped her at the door; she then added, "I am telling you how horrible I feel, and you are asking me to go fine.""Come back here, babe. I'm sorry." “Speak,
