It's been two weeks since I officially became Isabella Kalligero, don't get me wrong I was already a powerful woman before I married Romeo I also did business with the mafia But I knew how to not indulge myself into it that it might tear me down and that's were Romeo lost to me he's too far into the mafia that why he needs me he's illegal and he knows it.
Half of the business world knows it but they are too afraid of him. I'm not. "Isabella" I look up at the man who is standing in my room and I turned away from him "I won't repeat myself get ready we will be leaving in the next two hours if you don't get dressed I will dress you up myself" at that my eyes widened "I swear if you touch me I'll scream bloody murder".
"you can scream rape and assault also I will do it" I threw my pillow at his ugly dumb face "if you touch me I will castrate you don't test me". "Stop flirting with me and get dressed because if I start flirting....." his gaze darkens then he leaves the room did he think him talking like that gets me to move I enjoy my position on this bed so I'm not moving for any fucking reason "excuse me" I to see Nathaniel standing by the door I turned fully to him "Nathan-" he cuts me off "I still don't like you but please change on your own or else dad will really do it for you I might not like you but I wouldn't want you to be touch inappropriately even if it is by my father especially if you did not consent to it" my eyes filled with tears my baby is so mature "that's all I'm just giving an advice take it or leave it" and my smile died down as he left he has some of Romeo's traits I can't deny I groan I really hate that I'm about to do what Romeo asked me to. Two hours later I am dressed in a green silk gown with black covering I did my make up a while ago and even I know I look good
"I'm glad you chose to do it yourself but I'm a little disappointed" I eye him "you are a freaking pervert". "Don't think too highly of yourself I do not like you as a person I'm merely infatuated with your body I am sexually attracted to you not emotionally attracted to you let's just go" I smile "I'm not even sexually attracted to you" he nods and walks out first with his black gucci suit he always looks good he never ever looked bad so I don't know why I expected him to today.
"Where are we even going" I asked him as we entered the car this time he's driving it's no longer the driver "Tristan Demris engagement he's getting engaged tonight" I would have never thought....the man always seems to have no interest in women. maybe it's not a woman "to a man?" he chokes on what I don't know "Demris isn't gay he's marrying a woman" he looked like he wanted to burst out laughing at any moment "well it's not my fault I thought he was gay. I mean you've never seen him around any females and all he has are male companions how was I supposed to know?" He looks at me through his side eye in amusement "Fair point".
We arrive at the venue by 10 PM and from the looks of it he is a very well protected man they are men stationed at every corner and no one is allowed in if not on the list "Do not speak to anyone without me by your side you might be a business woman but you don't know this side of the business world this event can turn to a bloodbath if not careful" I roll my eyes it's basically means the mafia are here but I nod knowing damn well I won't listen to him as we reach the entrance the man at the entrance nods at Romeo and hands him over a gun? Okay what the fuck? " The gun is for safety. Demris is marrying a girl who is from the mafia the gun is used to protect yourself" Romeo explains. "So you are telling me every single guest has a gun on them?"Romeo shakes his head "Not every guest only a few his VIPs are the ones with the guns if every guest had a gun you would have also been given a gun and a mass shooting would have already begun and we would have come to meet a funeral" great my life is in the hands of a bunch of psychotic businessmen "Kalligero nice to see you made it" we turn to see Rhynis Fraser "can't say the same about you I'm tired of seeing your face everywhere I go" Rhynis laughs "Demris doesn't think so" Romeo gives him a 'shut up' look then Rhynis turns to me and gives a charming smile. "Mrs. Kalligero it's finally nice to make your acquaintance" I smile while accepting his hand "The pleasure is all mine"
"I hope Kalligero is treating you right?"
"I wish I could lie and say he is but he has been more assholey this week" Rhynis laughs and I feel a glare sent out way
"it was nice meeting you we are leaving now" Romeo said dragging me into the hall
"Kalligero? Never expected you to be here" I hear Romeo curse and turn to look at the owner of the voice. Theo Mancino and his wife
"I can say the same about you what are you doing here Mancino? You and Demris don't do business together so why are you here?"
Theo fakes a yawn "god you talk too much. Keep your business speeches for your business meetings and I don't have to answer to you" his wife glares at him then turns to Romeo
"Tristan is my cousin and so we were invited I'm sorry about Theo he just doesn't know when he should shut up and respect someone" I saw her husband smirk and his gaze darkened upon her
"Clearly but it was nice meeting you Mrs.Mancino" Romeo says pulling me away We reach the center of the hall and we see Tristan and a very pretty lady with blonde hair and blue eyes and pitch lips she smiles at a guy passing by and he smiles back then her eyes landed on us and she stands up abruptly and comes towards us, more specifically towards Romeo "I didn't know you'll be at my engagement" she said looking at him with lovestruck eyes I'm going to puke she's one of his fan girls isn't she getting engaged? why is she simping over my husband. "Demris would have blew up my building if I missed his engagement" I raised an eyebrow I did not know Romeo and Tristan were friends neither Rhynis interesting. She then turns to me and she smiles but her smile is fake
"and you must be his wife you must be happy-"I cut her off "Do you want to trade husbands? I'll gladly give you Romeo for Tristan" Romeo Tightens his hold on my arm "please excuse us mrs.Gassner have a wonderful night tell Demris I came but something urgent came up"
