Not what it seems: A Mafia Story

In a week?

Aerish's pov

I drove home as fast as I could. My heart is beating so loud that it feels like it will pop out. What's with this feeling? I can't understand.

But wait.. I have to reveal my face to him and his family. Oh my! Why did I even agree in the first place?

He called me..

Jake: Hey Mia cara.

Ember: Stop calling me that! (I almost yelled at him)

Jake: Listen we have to get married in a week. So do your shopping and whatever you want. We'll be getting engaged the day after tomorrow.

Ember: WHAT THE HELL! In a week? ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?

Jake: Yes I am. That bastard will leave for the United Kingdom in 10 days. Remember my words, Mia Cara. (Hangs up)

I can't get married this early. BUT I have no options. If I need to find out everything about my sister's death then I have to marry him. I can directly ask his father and my soon-to-be father-in-law.

I called Liana and Sim and told them everything. From my side, they are in the arrangement of everything. I don't have anyone except them.

The two days passed in a blink of an eye. And today I am going to get engaged to my very own enemy.
I need to show my face now. It's kinda scary for me because everyone, except Liana and Sim, who had seen my face, had to bear the awful death.

As per my request, no one except his parents and his close friend is coming either for an engagement or a wedding.

I muster up the courage to walk towards the stage without my mask and glasses. As soon as the door opened, everyone was looking at me with wide eyes and mouth open. It was obvious reaction.

I reached the stage and saw him standing there. He was looking damn hot in that suit. I had to admit. I had a cold expression on my face like usual.

I walked up the stage. We both were given rings that we had chosen for each other. We both slid rings into each other's ring finger and everyone clapped.

Everything was going well when he whispered, "Don't expect anything from me. This is just a contract marriage. And remember, no matter how beautiful you are, we are enemies."

I was taken aback by his statement. I don't know but his words broke my heart. I had no expectations from this marriage but those words were like arrows to my heart.
