As Long As You're Mine - Mob!Steve Rogers x Reader (Part 2)

Warnings: Mob Elements! Language! Mention of Arranged Marriage! Fluff!

 It had been a month since you learnt of your engagement to Drysdale. Every night you savoured every moment you had left with Steve. Clinging onto him whenever you could, praying and begging this was all a nightmare that one day you'd wake from.

But right now you were waking up alone. Steve had returned to Brooklyn a week ago, said there was a family emergency he had to deal with. He promised to be back as soon as he could, that every night he'd fall asleep thinking of you.

You were just walking towards the sunroom when Romero stepped into your path "your brother needs to speak to you immediately" he states.

You let out a long sigh "sure whatever" you muttered turning in the opposite direction back towards your brother's office.

As you walked inside you could see how tense your brother was as he braced himself against the desk. You didn't say anything, just sat down and waited for whatever he had to say.

"Drysdale and the rest of the Thombeys are dead, the entire family has collapsed" Bryce finally states his fists clenching in anger.

"What?" You mutter in disbelief.

"They're gone, completely crumbled over some stupid inheritance" Bryce scoffs "Drysdale got word that he was getting written out, so decided to kill Harlan before the will got changed, it all imploded from there, family turned against each other until they were all dead"

"Whoa" you muttered in disbelief, you always knew Drysdale would cause the Thrombey empire to fall but you didn't expect this.

"Yep, so looks like you get your wish after all, you don't have to marry him" Bryce states in frustration.

"My wish was to choose who I got to marry not have it decided for me!" You snap.

"Well, you might not have any choice now! The options are dwindling and you might be stuck with Hansen!" Bryce roars.

"Don't you even dare" you growl launching from your chair in anger.

"Boss," Romero says interrupting the two of you.

"What?" Bryce snaps.

"There's someone here to see you" Romero answers.

"Send them away, I don't have time to deal with anyone, I've got to fix this bullshit" Bryce states gesturing at you.

"She says she's a representative of the New York syndicate" Romero pushes.

Both you and Bryce freeze, you'd heard a lot about the syndicate from Steve. And by the look on Bryce's face, you gathered your father told him a lot too.

"Send her in, Y/N go back to your room I'll deal with you later" Bryce orders.

"She wants to speak with Y/N too" Romero adds.

You and Bryce exchange a glance and before he had a chance to argue you gave your order "send her in"

Bryce glares at you but his attention soon shifts when the redhead walked in. Her hips swayed as she went, exuding confidence that made it feel like she owned the place. You watched as she first surveyed Bryce before looking at you a smirk growing on her face as if she already knew all your dirty little secrets.

"Bryce Langley," Bryce says holding out his hand.

"Natalie Rushman but just call me Nat" Nat smiles shaking his hand "let's cut straight to the chase, I'm here on behalf of the New York syndicate boss, who has decided to offer you a deal," Nat says pulling out a file and placing it on the desk.
