MARRIED TO A MAFIA BOSS

CHAPTER 2: Moving In His Villa

His….What?!

"Like my father said before he passed away, I'll need a queen by my side to properly lead the family. This empire I'll soon inherit brings many duties responsibilities. So I am pleased to face them with someone I can truly rely on by my side." Tumingin sa akin si Vaughn, mas mainit ang tingin niya kaysa sa karaniwan.
"A capable woman who has proven herself to me and won my love. Many challenges awaits us, but I know we can face them together."

Tulala akong nakatayo sa tabi niya habang nagpapatuloy siya tungkol sa aming 'RELASYON' na may kahusayan sa pagsasalita at alindog–gayunpaman, ang makapangyarihang presensya na mayroon siya ay patuloy na nangingibabaw sa kapaligiran.

What the hell is going on? And why is he acting like a completely different person?!

Applause breaks out, and with a dazzling smile, Vaughn takes my hand again and leads me away.
He brings me into an empty room just off from the chamber where the party is.

Inside, he immediately lets go of my hand.

"Do you anything to say?"

Anything? I don't even know where to begin!

I stared at him, appalled. In return, he groans.

"I didn't expect much, but this is disappointing even by the low standards I set…. whatever, at least you looked good out there on stage." Ang kanyang casual na salita ay nagpapakulo ng dugo ko.

Mafia boss or not, I can't let him talk to me this way!

"What's wrong with you?" Halos sumabog sa akin ang mga salitang iyon. "You drag me up there in front of everyone with no warning ahead of time and say that I'm your fiancée….And then you have the gall to insult me afterwards?"

"I'd assume someone with any brain power at all would have something to say." Walang emosyon niyang sabi.

"Oh! I have plenty to say! I was shocked, I didn't know where to begin!" Halos mapasigaw na ako.

"You seem angry."

What the….

"You think? How dare you tell those people out there na fiancée mo ako– we barely know each other!"

Ngumisi siya. "I assure you, it's for a good reason."

"If it's such a good reason, then why didn't you talk to me about it beforehand?" Diin na tanong ko sa kanya.

"I'm disliking your tone." Humakbang siya pasulong, nakataas sa akin gamit ang kanyang matalim na tingin. "Perhaps you're forgotten who I am, but you're in no place to question my decision."

I step away from him on instinct, but as my back meets the wall, Vaughn doesn't let up approaching me.

"Since I'd have to discuss things with you afterwards anyway to make the proper arrangements, this is the most efficient way." Sabi niya, at pinandilatan ko siya ng masama.

(I can't believe the nerve of this guy. I know he's an important man, ngunit sa tingin ba niya ay nagbibigay iyon sa kanya ng karapatang gawin ang anumang gusto niya?)

Tinitigan ako ni Vaughn na para akong bibiktimahin.

"Though I'll admit, I seem to have misjudge you."

"Excuse me?"

"Our previous encounters weren't promising, but you have more want that I gave you credit for. It just came rushing out all once."
