Chapter 14 • Care •

"This is the only dress Of mine that would Fit properly around curves....Or even go pass your hips. You can keep it. It's way too stretched now."

Simona dusted off the ends off the dress before standing up to meet me. The whole 10mins of me being in here were full of Silent bantering and low-key insults.

I forced a smile as I chewed on my inner lip. "I think it looks perfect and I'm sure Aiden will love it..." Her face turned sour after hearing his name, making me grin in satisfaction before continuing. "And on me keeping the dress, it's quite tactless for my taste, so no."

She scoffed before turning heading back into the closet as I went heading for the door. Aiden leaned against the wall as I came out with a cigar inbetween his lips.

"So how do I look?" I asked swirling around in small circles before stopping right infront of him.

His eyes scanned my figure before meeting with mine. Gosh, those green eyes. He stared in silence fixing his posture and clearing his throat.

"Is she still in there?" He questioned flicking his cigar onto the ground.

"Yeah, why." Aiden raised a questioning brow at the way I answered. I even scared myself. The amount of jealousy in my voice was shocking. To myself.

Aiden scoffed before clearing his throat. "Whatever...Just wait here."

I watched as he made his way into the bedroom as his footsteps faded the farther he went. But he left the door open. It's like he's asking for me to go in and ease drop. And I did.

My back softly hit the wall as I watched them from the other side of the walk-in closet.

"You Fucking owe me, Aiden." It's Don, bitch. "What you did was insulting." She said as she went around the counter standing right in front of him.

"I dont owe you shit, Simona. I asked you to do your job and that's exactly what you did." He said as he took a step back, putting some space between them.

"But your fucking fiance. That's you being fucking petty and childish." She said with angry as she threw him a glare.

"That is not just my fiancee, Simona. She is also going to be the future Doña of this Mafia. So anything and everything she says go's."

Even though I was pretty far, I could see she was hurt. She dropped her head as I heard a whimper coming from her. Aiden glanced down at her before taking a few steps forward. Basically, closing all personal space.

Bitch No

Nicole....Why the fuck do you care? I questioned myself as I continued watching.

He raised a hand to her chin, bringing her face up. He wiped away the one year that slipped. She brought her hands to his chest before resting her head on his shoulder.

"Atleast you still care." Simona spoke in a soft voice as my fiancee wrapped his arms around her.

Enough of this bullshit. I took a few steps back to the door before knocking. "Aiden, baby, you in here?"

"Yeah, all be right out." He spoke before his figure came out of the shadows of the closet.

I held him by the arm as we left the room with Simona behind us.

And Now we were right back in front of the door with Simona still around us.

"Are you ready?" Aiden whispered into my ear.

"Yeah...I'm just a little-"

I was cut off, "Aiden...I mean, Don. I need to tell you something." Simona rasped out in shaky voice.

What now? "Yes, Simona?" Aiden Asked.

"It's about Evora...She's, uh. She's not hear. She didn't want to come."

Aiden's face dropped as he put up scowl.

Disappointment dragged down his shoulders as he's frown deepened.

But before I knew it I was being dragged down the hallways of this mansion, again, with Simona chasing behind us.

"Aiden wait..." She spoke but by that time we were already out of the gate.
