Few days ago before the wedding part 2
The door slammed opened and I looked up at Adam, my elder brother. He looked confused and concerned while I looked pissed.
"What the fuck dude? Carter told me what happened earlier." He said as he sat in front of me. Carter was my best friend and business partner. A few minutes later when Leo left, I called Carter and told him everything... cause if I didn't, my office would be completely destroyed by my anger.
"Like always your father's idea wins," I said sarcastically. I'm not really close to our father and each time I talked, I always say 'his father'.
He sighed leaning in his seat.
"I thought you would get away from this... like it's been weeks since you did their work." He spoke.
Just like me, dad forced Adam to marry a woman who was one of his friend's daughters. Her name's Alicia and she was a bitch to Adam. My brother's bank account was halfway done because of her and her shopping.
"Carter found a few things on them," I said gaining his attention.
"Turns out that the girl's arrange marriage is in a few days and the boy she's marrying is not so rich compare to me," I explained.
He furrowed his eyebrows, "So his brother came to you because of the money status."
I shrugged," I think so. His father is known for his greed for money, it wouldn't be a surprise that his son and daughter are just like him."
"You think she's a gold digger," he concluded and I nodded.
"There's no other reason. Why would a brother come to a mafia leader, tell him to marry his dear sister out of a contract?" I inquired.
"You're right," he nodded, "What will you do now?"
"I'll do the wedding to show him that I do keep my words. Besides I don't need to commit to a contract wedding, it'll be just a deal." I stated.

Few days before the wedding⬅️
I reached home and closed the door, letting a breath of relief. I made sure that no one was following me home.
"How did it go?"
I turned around and saw my lovely wife, Kassy with my beautiful baby girl, Aria in her arms. My lips curled in a smile, feeling better now that I've seen them. I walked to them and pulled my wife into my arms before kissing my daughter's cheeks.
"I hope it works," I murmured.
Kassy frowned, "You should tell Catalaiya."
I shook my head no, "She's already upset about what's happening, if I tell her this news, she'll be in shock."
"She needs to know though," Kassy insisted.
A few days ago, I learned that Mason was planning to marry my sister just to get her million worth properties. He already made the papers and it was accidentally sent to our office. That's how I learned about it and when I read the property paper, it was mentioned that the rightful owner-Catalaiya-was dead due to an 'unexplainable' reason.
That got me thinking and I did a lot of research on Mason. I knew talking with my parents would be a complete waste of time as they were the ones who chose this fucker for her.
When doing all the research, I got hold of Aziel Alvaro's file and the contract he signed with dad. This was the only way, to stop Mason from killing my sister. It was the only way to protect her.
I didn't mean to threaten Aziel, I don't have the guts to do that. I know his powers and what he can do. I love my family and I wouldn't want any harm to come upon them.
"I'll tell her a few days after the wedding... hopefully Aziel come to the rescue." I sighed.
Aria cooed and I smiled at her. I picked her up in my arms and pampered her with kisses. She smiled widely showing her pink gum.

Wedding day in the car*
Carter drove us to my house. I sat in the front because I didn't want to sit beside her. Instead, Adam sat beside her. I glanced at her through the front mirror and she was looking outside, lost in her thoughts.
For all I know, she might be doing a list of things she will buy once she gets my credit card...
We reached the big gate and the guard nodded at me before opening it. Once it opened, Carter drove right to the front area and parked. I unbuckled my seatbelt, opening the door.
I glanced at her and she was standing near the door, looking awed by my house.
Of course she will be awed.

The front of my house was kinda plain and dull to see but at the back, it was more beautiful and luxurious. The front of the house hides all the beauty of the back, always surprising newcomers.
I love this place so much...
I walked to the front porch and opened the door. She tagged along, looking around mesmerised. Adam and Carter stayed near the car as I have to go back to work for the Mafia. I had to postpone a meeting for this wedding and I'm already 15 minutes late.
I'm always on time...
"Thalia," I called out loudly.
Thalia was my maid and she lives here, in the guest house with her husband Alfred, who was one of my drivers. They both had been working for me for the last 6 years. I was 20 years old when I bought this house and now I'm 26 years old.
Thalia was in her forties while Alfred was in his fifties.
Thalia walked toward us and looked at Catalaiya with wide eyes.
"We're married. She'll be staying here now." I informed Thalia and she nodded.
"Show her around and take care of her. I need to go back to work." I stated.
