The Mafia Boss Bride

Whenever I wake up,night or day,I look through my window.

Today my heart feels hollow, heavy.

My mood rivals the cloudy storm forming outside my window.

I have no desire to be outside today but I have to meet up with my boyfriend and best friend.I wasn't in the mood for their constant bickering.i have tried all i can to make them get along but it is to no avail,but they still insist on hanging out together.

"My weirdos"...I smile thinking about them.

I've known my best friend since 7th grade and we'ev been inseparable...we are complete opposite,she is tall,slim, blond,has a body of a goddess with a smile that brightens up a room when she walks in.she pulls boys like magnet,plus she's a total extrovert.a party animal infact.it doesn't bother me that I don't have the kind of attention she gets.i quite like it in fact because I like to blend in with the crowd,I don't like any sort of attention because I tend to stutter really badly when a stranger tries to start a conversation with me ....

I wouldn't call my self unattractive,but I am the exact opposite of her, while she is all that.

I am on the shorter side, with dark waist length untamable hair,curvy, Petite and shy.

My boyfriend is my first and we have been together for 2years.

Early on in our relationship I had serious insecurities about my body our relationship because I fear he wasn't really attracted to me.

Our relationship is sexless..yes you heard me.we didn't really do much intimacy and I felt my boyfriend didn't really wanna pressure me into sex because I have never had sex and he was totally okay with respecting me until I was ready, but it started to bother me 10 months into the relationship when he would not even try kiss me more than 5 minutes.

His excuse was that he didn't want to scare me and make me worry that he just wanted me for my body.

I believed him for almost two years, now our 2 year anniversary is around the corner and he still hasn't made any move to try more intimacy and it's beginning to bother me.i woke up really sad because my insecurities are back with a vengeance.

What if he doesn't find me attractive,what if he doesn't have romantic feelings towards me,what if am not attractive.

What if ,,,,,,,,what if ,,,,,,,,,what ifs.

So many what ifs.i hate feeling this way.

The loud ringing tone of my phone breaks me out of my thoughts.

Sighting,I move to pick it up from the dresser.

Oh shit, My boyfriend.

"Hey baby,are you up yet or did I wake you up?"

"Yes am up baby"I reply,stifling a yawn.

"You sound really tired . what time did you get off work?"

"5:30.......I had to cover another shift"

"Oh okay,,,am picking you up in an hour..Dress really sexy" he says before hanging up

I sigh again..I have been doing that alot lately.

I really need to talk to Damon about how am feeling as soon as possible.

It keeps ruining my mood and I don't like it.

After a few minutes of sloppy half asleep attempt to make coffee,I finally did it....I sat down in the kitchen sipping the coffee,going through my email to see if I have gotten any reply from the day jobs I applied to .

My door bell ringing startles me,making me jump,dropping the cup on the counter I scramble to the door.. Camille is here.and I haven't even taken a shower...urgh.

Opening the door my best friend engulf me in a warm hug.

I hug her back subtle sniffing her.

"You haven't even showered yet" She said stiffling a laugh.

"Shut up mill, I had a rough night" I reply groaning.

"Oh I know darling...channel bag got nothing on your eye bags" she says giggling.

"Don't make fun of me"

"Sorry darling" she hug me again.. petting my hair.."should we rain check?,call Damon and cancel,we can go to the club some other time...though I would hate to miss the club opening today but then you look so stressed out"

Our eyes meet.a beat pass,and we both groan at the same time.

"I need to go out Camille,I don't have a life outside of work"

"I know.....I Know" Camille reply sighing "you look so stressed out and I just feel you should rest "

"Don't worry,am fine."I assure her." I just need to take a shower,Slap some makeup on and am good"

Shuffling to the bathroom I hear my phone ping

"Reply my massage Camille,must be Damion" i shout from the bathroom.

"Sure babe"...."we are going to look so hot today ,then I can find me a gorgeous man to take home" she squeal the last part

Shaking my head,I laugh. Camille is always excited about about her one night stands.

Am me,I haven't even gotten around to popping the cherry.

I hear faint knocking as turned on the shower and start leathering my body with soap..

I hurriedly shower and wash my hair..noting that I will have trouble taming my hair today if I wouldn't be able to straighten them.

Drying off I hurriedly leave the bathroom,padding to my bedroom I hear hushed angry whispers...my walls are extremely thin so I hear even when a tiny pin drops.

Confused I padded to the sitting room and find my boyfriend and best friend in a heated argument,too close to be comfortable,thinking nothing of it I clear my throat to call their attention to me.

Startled,they Yelp and turned at the same time looking at me with wild eyes

"Umm, what's going on?,...what are you two arguing about again?"

" Oh nothing babe..just our usual bickering"damon reply first coming close to kiss me.pulling back too fast.

Noting that,I say nothing and just turn waving them off

"Stop fighting like kids guys.. Camille come help me with my makeup and hair".

"Yea...yeah sure" she stutters, hurriedly packing her things from the couch and hurrying to me.

Frowning, Camille never stutters.

We hurriedly did my makeup and hair..grab my purse and we leave the house..

I look very beautiful tonight.and my boyfriend doesn't even notice.didn't even compliment me.But I would not allow that to spoil my mood..I intend to have fun tonight.

Passing through the bodyguards at the entrance and producing our id,damon pushes through a double set of doors and some kind of metal music flows from behind the doors.the bazz vibrating through out my body,camelle and I take slow steps walking behind him,my short denim skirt clings to my curves,and my plunging tank tops shows off my cleavage,the shots we down at home before rushing out makes me feel less conscious,the alcohol making me feel sexy as I stumble a little in my really tall silhouette.the heels adding to my height making me seem more taller than my normal height.

The ambiance of the club screams wealth and class.

Camelle and I stick together Dancing while Damon goes off to get us drinks or seats,I didn't hear what he said over the loud music.camelle and I separate briefly when she started dancing with a man.....feeling a little hot I spin around to look around for Damon or Camille.suddenly I feel a heavy presence crowds my back.

"The boss needs to see you" he leans down to yell in my ear,making my heart jump...I whip my head around to see a tall imposing man staring down at me,his eyes covered behind a dark shade.

"Who are you and why does your boss wants to see me" I shout above the music so he can hear me...spinning again I try to find my friend and boyfriend

"Come upstairs with me,your friends are there"he leans to yell noting how am trying to find them in the crowd.

Huffing I turn to follow him wondering why my boyfriend will be there.

He leads me towards the back of the club.

Upstairs is vip members only with a balcony that overlooks the entire club.

The atmosphere here is darker and chiller,it's where the wealthy important people drink, watching all the other people bellow....

Two men sit around a leather booth.with 2 bodyguards standing behind them,in the center of the booth is a marble table occupied by several glasses of ember liquid I assume are alcohol and several gambling games,ashtrays and expensive cognac.

One man appears more intimidating and imposing.

I stand at the entrance and stare until he raises his head from his game and stare straight at me.....dark brown eyes and a very light blue eyes clash with mine.making me gasp.....his mismatch eyes travels all over my body slowly,his Gaze moving over my bare legs , then moving quickly to my hips then to the curve of my waist then further up following the deep v of my tank top where my breast push together,over my coller and my neck before settling back on my face.

I have never met a man so beautiful in my entire life.he has a face of a greek god, olive toned skin,dark stubble lines his sharp jaw that could cut steel..high cheek bones that every male model would kill to have,full red kissable lips..and his eyes.the deepest brown I have ever seen and a very light blue,almost white on one eyes. And a body sculpted wonderfully well..i have never seen anything like that.....i have only seen him in tabloids and gossips blogs.with different leggy super models draping off his arms...ENZO RICCARDO....the Riccardo's are the most influential family in the country..very intimidating and and highly influential...

Many rumors has it that they are the head of the Italian mafia but nobody can really say that out loud unless you want to be wiped from the face of the earth without anyone knowing you ever existed.

"You are tense" his dark deep baritone sounds very far away in my head because my eyes are roaming over his features..I have never perused my boyfriend this way.i feel a little guilty. coming out of my trance, I finally registered that he said something to me.

"Uhh..."I stutter,feeling shy and looking down at my shoes.he let's out a breathy chuckle, surprised I swing back my head back to his eyes I notice his attention is at the other side of the room.i follow his eyes and notice for the first time since entering the room. my boyfriend and best friend huddling at the corner...what the hell are they doing,he has his hand cradling camelle's hair and her face is on his chest.confusion mars my face and I whip my head back to the man to ask what he means,I open my mouth to ask but no word comes out.

"She will do right" Damon askes

"Yes"

He replies.his eyes trailing over every details of me ,from the curve of my body to every single detail of my face.

"What?" I asked, confused.

"I screwed up laurel, I'm so sorry"Damon shakes his head,avoiding eye contact.

Trying to register the words...I stumble towards them...he didn't just said that did he?..

I swing my head back to the man who is now watching us,assessing me as if he owns me.

"What did you do Damon" I ask in a shaky voice as the man stands up and two men move closer towards me.

"Am so sorry laurel.i sold you"

"What do you mean you sold me" I yell at them

What does that even mean.you can't just sell someone,not someone you love.how is this even possible.

I turn to glare at my boyfriend and best friend.. camelle hasn't said a word or even looked at me

"Say something camelle,what is going on" I yell at her, balling my fist

"Am sorry" Damon says again and they turn to leave without another word or explanation.i go go follow them but an overpowering man appears from no where blocking my exit.growling at him I try to push him with everything,but he just stands there and stare at my hand without even flinching a muscle.

"You are mine now"

That dark voice says again.

"I am not yours..I don't even know you" I yell back at him.

"You will learn how to speak to me Bellissima"He chuckles.

Before I can say anything else he looks at his men and two strong hands grab my hands and before I can scream,a hand go over my face and everything goes black.

I wake up with a jolt.confused by my surroundings,I turn first thing for the window trying to look out.then the memories of yesterday floods in, making me tense up,my eyes instantly fly to my body to see if my close are still on.sighing in relief when I notice my clothes are still on including my shoes.

i wait a few beat to see if anyone will barg Into the room,no one walks in so I scramble from the bed to look for my things and run the hell away from here, frantically searching for my stuff,my heart racing with thoughts of last night, this has to be a bad dream,it doesn't happen in real life,who the hell sells a human being, someone they love?and why would anyone want to buy me?.

What the fuck is going on

My hands shaking badly and mouth dry,I lick my chapped lips

I cannot fucking find any of my belongings in this room,I cannot find my cell phone..I need to run,do I even want to run,I don't know what they would do to be if I do.

Distracted by my thoughts,I don't even notice the man watching me from the doorway until I hear a throat clearing,I stop my frantic search and stand on shaky legs.stilling my spine I turn slowly to the intruder.

Oh wow

His chest is bare and I can see what the suits where hiding yesterday....this man clearly takes great care of himself.his the type you see in the movies,the man has a body like nothing I have ever seen,I try unsuccessfully to unglue my eyes from his body,I huff...my voice quivering I Mumble.

"I need to leave,I have work today" my voice cracking at the end,clearing my throat I try to repeat my self.he interrupt me with his dark chuckles.

That chuckle.

He smirks and steps closer and says "if you leave,your boyfriend, best friend and anyone close to you will die"

He can't be serious,can he?.

This cannot be real,this is a really long nightmare that I need to wake up from.

What the fuck is going on.

He turns and begin to walk out of the room,my eyes trail him and I I catch myself staring again and mentally slap myself....he throws over his shoulder. "Take a shower in the bathroom,then we can continue this conversation.you look like a mess".

He walks off ,leaving me standing,staring at the spot he just left.Mentally shaking myself to get moving,I rush to the door he just left through and turn the handle slowly and quietly.My hands shaking badly I take deep breaths and push the door.feeling a shiver running down my spine I turn my head to the side,my eyes collide with a man's,his gun catches my attention and I gasp.shrieking,I rush back inside and close the door and try to catch my breath,feeling like I ran a marathon.

What has Damon gotten me into

I frantically search for my purse again and come up empty..

Shit

I need my phone,I need to call in sick or something or I will lose my job,I can't afford to lose my job.

My feet move to the bathroom.if I need to look for a way out of this mess I need to shower and clear my muddled thoughts.

How did I get here.

How did I get into this mess.

I don't even know this man, atleast outside of gossips blogs.

This only happens in movies and books.

I turn the bathroom handle and gasp when I see the magnificent bathroom.i have never seen or been in anything like this.stepping in I turn the shower head and watch, mesmerized at the water fall shower head.tearing my clothes quickly I shower before someone walls into the shower.

After showering and washing my hair with the shampoo I saw in the bathroom I towel off,tie the towel in my body and tentatively peep inside the room before stepping out slowly.i spot breakfast on the best and the soft click of the door alerting me that someone just dropped the food off and left.i frantically search the drawer and find some shorts and shirt and hurriedly put them on.leaving my hair to dry naturally.

Turning back to the tray, there's a selection of pastries,toast and orange juice.. contemplating weather to eat I stand for a bit chewing my lips indecisively.deciding that I will need strength to plan my escape i pick up the toast praying it's not poisened and take a bite.finishing it up quickly I wash it down with the orange juice.the door pushes open and I scramble up...Enzo walls in and stare at me before closing the door behind him.he is completely dressed now.in slacks and shirt.the two top button of his shirt are open, revealing a few tattoos on his chest.he looks mouth waterings.

"I thought I would have to force you to eat"his voice is dark and alluring.he walks close to me and I watch as his eyes turn intense,his one brown eyes going darker and the lighter one going completely pale." And you smell like me"he say husky voice goes straight to my head, making me feel dizzy.my stomach drops,I feel hot all of a sudden.i have never reacted like this to any man.he sounds possessive.and It instantly made me damp..I shouldn't feel this way about a stranger most especially my kidnaper.i don't say anything..he stares deeply into my eye.nothing the effect he has on me he smiles briefly,if I wasn't staring so hard at him I wouldn't have noticed.

"Follow me" he says and turn to leave.
