The Mafia Boss Goes To Church

Chapter 23

Mia's POV

I was super duper excited and even more nervous for the party, which I think was normal seeing as it was my first and it was more or likely going to be filled with wealthy and successful persons, who will be analysing and assessing all the unfamiliar faces such as my own.

But other than that I thought it ought to be fun. There's no way Elijah would want to do business with Mr. Jedburgh if he wasn't someone who could help his company for the better and someone like that must be able to through a fun party right? Plus there was the issue of the most recent kiss between Elijah and I. After he kissed me I found myself responding until I snapped out of it and lightly pushed him back to give us space. It got awkward from there and even when we were heading back we didn't speak to each other and when we arrived we just went to our separate rooms. So, I was worked up for the party and even more worked up at the fact that I don't know what's happening between Elijah and I, since I would have felt more comfortable at the party with him by my side as he is very well experienced in events like those.

Time slowly ticked away, the time for the party was near approaching and Elijah hadn't make an effort to contact me and I didn't have the guts to go to him either, so I didn't know what to do seeing as we hadn't planned it prior to this. I waited five minutes more and nothing changed so I decided that I would be the bigger person no matter how uncomfortable or odd the situation may feel. I had already showered and put on some casual clothing so all that was left for me to do was to change and get dressed. As I was about to go for my dress their was a knock on the door. I changed my direction and went to open the door. There before me stood a woman I had never seen before in my life holding a huge box in her hands.

"Can I help you ma'am?"

"Um. I was specifically told to deliver this to you Miss," she said and handed me the box. And before I could ask her any questions she was gone just like that.

I took the box and carefully carried it to my bed, laying it down. I had an internal battle contemplating with myself if I should open it or if it was even mine. I glanced at the box, it was made from a fine material and I couldn't help myself from running my fingers along the area of the top of it. I gently lift the cover of the box, finally deciding to check it out so I could get ready. As I did so a small note fell from within the box.

Wear this dress and shoes tonight. I'll be at your room door to pick you up so I expect that you will be ready by then.

I read the note twice not missing how he wasn't asking but was rather demanding me to do what he had said but that was nothing new. I opened the box fully and gasped at the beauty of the dress. It was indeed a sight to behold. It was a beautiful white dress with a hint of silver here and there. Every single detail of it screamed luxury and expensiveness, from the sweetheart neckline to the intricate designs and even the fabric that was used to make it. It was indeed wonderfully made and swoon worthy. It had a pair of shoes to accompany it and jewellery that I wasn't going to wear.
