Chapter 3 New home

“Welcome to your new home.” Adrian announced.

My eyes filed with tears, I can’t believe this, I didn’t say any word when I rushed out of his still living room and I found myself in the first room that was open.

This is unlike my father, he loved me, he cared me, I know he wanted me to get married but I never thought he would want me to leave the house so soon.

Papa would always joke about how I would still live in the house with my husband, even if I am married, he wanted me close, he would always talk about, how that’s his only condition.

Every suitor I have met. They agreed to it, even when I tried to make them think it was wrong, they wanted it but with Adrain it was different and it made me feel scared.

What is papa hiding from me? Why does he planned with Adrian? Why don’t even come to say goodbye to me.

Papa is no coward but for the first time ever, he was, he didn’t even want to see me and I know something horrible had happened and I needed to find out.

Hours passed, knock after knock and I ignored all of it.

“Elara open up.” I heard another voice, and I knew who it was.

“Let me be.” I yelled and, that’s when I saw the door knob moving, he and a key all this time and he waited until now.

The moment the door sprung open, his eyes were on mine and he didn’t look any happy.

“You can’t lock yourself inside a room ever.” He stated, and I didn’t speak, he inched closer to me as I was on the bed.

I didn’t move, I didn’t hide because that’s not how I was raised, when instantly his hand found its way holding mine, a wave of goosebumps washed over me

He may be handsome but I hated him and didn’t want anything to do with him.

He leaned in slower.

The air felt stiff and my body filled with unfamiliar feelings that I never felt before.

“You are never to lock the door, that’s my only rule in my house, you don’t have to worry about anyone walking in on you, but no matter what you do, you are never to lock your doors.” He said calmly her his eyes screamed otherwise.

“You can’t tell me what to do?.”

“I can princess, I know you, I know you Elara, and I know you are going to listen to me, I am sure your papa will not like the fact that you didn’t listen to me so you will, you will not lock your doors.”

“It’s just doors, it’s not a big deal.” I stated, I didn’t understand until he held my hand even more tighter, the pain filed my body and he yanked me closer to him.

“Never.” He stated. “Come down for dinner and I don’t want to hear anything about you nor wanting to eat, the maids will take you to your room.” He stated.

Was he being good to me because of my father? I am sure it’s because of him but I will die before I ever let myself say yes to someone like him.

My eyes were on his for a moment when he walked away.

The room itself was huge, it was almost the same as the one in my papa’s house maybe even more bigger, there was everything I could need, even clothes that didn’t belong to me.

The maids arranged the clothes I came with, which was a few because I got mad.

After a shower and a long thought, I knew what I had to do, I knew I have to break the mafia king, I need to make him hate me, I know he can’t kill me or hurt me, I need him to hate me to an extent he would take me back to my home

Yes papa would be mad but I will convince him, at the end we only have each other, he can’t take me away from him again.

“Eat.” Adrian stated when I settled beside him, my stomach rumbled in agony when I took the first bite of the meal, and a moan falls out of my lips.

“Sorry.” I breathed out, and he didn’t speak. “If I say no, you will let me go and don’t convince my father.” I asked. When I looked up.

“You won’t say no, you would want to get married to me.” He did as bitter chuckle escaped my lips, he is being overly confident.

“We will see about that.” I smiled, he has no idea what I have planned for him in mind, tonight I will be good but tomorrow I can’t be too sure about it.

He can’t control me or cage me and that’s where I have advantage, I can do whatever I want, and there is no going back, once I start, I need to finish it.

“You are thinking.” Adrian stated and my eyes met his. “Whatever you have in mind, you need to remember that, you can’t run away, no one here would let you out of their sites, and unless you want to get killed, you will stay where you are ment to be.” He stated.

“No one is going to hurt me.”

“You have no idea what the mafia is like, he shielded you from the bad things didn’t he, made you think, it was a challenge without scaring you to death.” Adrian stated.

“I know everything about the mafia, I know about the drugs, I know about the killing, I know about the wars and blood”

“Tomorrow I will show you a side did the mafia your father never showed you. A side that will make you rethink your rebellion.”

“I am not your wife yet. You can’t make me do what I don’t want.”

“You will be princess, you might as well start acting like it.”
