Chapter 4 Marriage proposal

Author's POV

The driver was shocked to see her condition but he didn't have the courage to ask her anything seeing her crying miserably he made her sit in the back and gave her some water.

After some time he asked, "Mam, shall I call Sir?"

Alora nodded negatively and said, "Please drop me home"

She thought that August is coming tomorrow and she will leave this place forever with him. And she doesn't want to give any stress to her brother.

The driver ignited the engine and started the car and drove out of the hotel's parking lot.

Alora was so tired she dozed off while looking out of the car window.

Her sleep was disturbed by the sudden jerk she opened her eyes and before she could understand she saw her driver was shot and she was pulled out of the car harshly.

And she was hit on her neck and she fainted.

The moment she was unconscious the men in suits picked her fragile body and stuffed her in their car and drove away.

On the way to the airport one of the men dialed his boss's number and said, "Boss, we have her"

The other party said, "Good, keep her in basement of my house I will back in few days and deal with her"

Soon their car reached the airport and Alora was shifted to a private jet.

When Alora opened her eyes the next day she was in an unfamiliar place. Her hands and legs were tied to a chair.

She shouted, "Anybody here! Please help me, please leave me" soon she heard the door opening sound, and a man with a heavy built came in front of her and said, "Just shut up"

Alora started crying and struggling to say, "Please let me go, what have I done? Why are you keeping me here?"

The man felt irritated and slapped hard on her soft cheeks, her lips started bleeding and she fainted immediately. She was always very fragile and this was the first time she was hit this hard.

Ricardo's POV

I am stuck here in this peace-making meeting with my rival Dominic D'Angelo. I know what he wants, he wants to replace me and that is not going to happen.

I am the king because of my own abilities not because of anyone's help. Dominic is killing my people saying they are breaking the rules.

I was forced to attend this meeting because being king of the mafia I must follow these protocols and attend this fucking meeting which I know would never work out but for the satisfaction of my people, I have to do this.

It is very important for me that my people trust me; we can never grow without people. I wanted to be in Miami my people got that fucker's sister.

Although physically I am in the meeting but my mind is completely occupied with the ways to torture that bastard's sister.

I was pulled out of my thoughts listening to what Dominic said, "I am getting old and as you all know I have only one daughter and she is my beloved. I am afraid after me there will be no one to look after her"

"I propose marriage between my daughter and our king Ricardo, in this way my daughter will be safe with him forever and all my business will belong to King and I can die in peace thinking that my daughter and my business are right hands"

I can see in every member's eyes how they were convinced with his proposal but I don't want to do it.

I know why this old man is doing this, he wants to conquer my throne by marrying his daughter to me.

I don't want to get married, I love my life the way it is, I can't stick to only one woman. I love fucking different women every night. I never fuck the same woman twice.

I was about to deny it when Gary looked at me and nodded slowly. Is he indicating to accept this marriage?

He is my most trusted man, I never ignore his advice. He has been with me since I entered this world.

Everyone was looking at me with hopes to say yes, I know for sure if I deny this marriage, people will show their sympathy to this old bugger, they might go against me.

I looked at Gary and he said looking at everyone, "Even we like the idea but I think marriage is a big decision so I think we should leave the decision on the couple after they meet at least for once"
