The Mafia Family, Chapter 2

Elijah's POV

I tried my best to wash away the glitter on my neck, my beautiful wife hates me now, but it's not the end of the world. "I make her love me. Juliette." I left the restroom and quickly caught an apple that Flynn threw at me. "So how's the wife? What's she like?"

"Already hates me when she saw the glitter on my neck. She thinks I was fooling around with some other woman. But I'm going to make it right, for her. I told her I'm willing to get to know each other since we're forced into this marriage."

"What's your plan? You got a plan, I know you do."

"You know it." I spotted my uncle, Isaac outside of Joseph MacGregor's office, my father in law. "Remember to stand straight for the man, and you."

"Uncle, come on Flynn."

We entered the room and my father was there, he went towards me and out his arm around me as he introduced me to my father in law, Joseph MacGregor, the Don. The room was a bit dark, smelling nothing but smoke from his cigar, he stood up from his desk and he was a large man. I tried not to look at his scar, I heard stories he doesn't like anyone asking about his scars. I like the risks but I don't want to risk this.
He stood in front of me, looking at me up and down, he saw me giving his daughter to me, but I understand he wanted to know the man who married his daughter.

"Three months ago I thought long and hard whether having you marry my little girl. I didn't think you would make a great man for my little girl. But then again, your father and I agreed years ago to marry you both off, as returning the favor, and ending the feud between our two families that my grandfather and father had with yours. I gave away my little girl today and I will ask you this, boy. Break her heart, you better believe there'll be consequences. If I see something I disapprove of, it's over. You understand?"

"Yes sir. I understand."

"Alexander, let's continue our work on Monday. I hate doing work on the weekends, especially this special occasion."

"Yes and the business with..."

"Yes now, welcome to the family, Elijah. Take care of my Little Rose."

"You don't have to worry."

"Let's party, I need food in me." Two men with a shovel came in and I heard them quite clear. "We took care of that thing you asked, Boss."

"Good."

Life in the Mafia family.

The celebration went on through the night as the couple cut the wedding cake, taking some pictures, as a loving couple, or what everyone thought.

The couple were in they're room as Juliette brushing her hair, softly and calmly, Juliette watched Elijah coming out of the bathroom, shirtless and full of himself, he was holding something and Juliette didn't bothered to turn around, she kept brushing her hair.

"I bought something for you, for my lovely wife as its your birthday, I wanted it to be perfect."

Juliette opened the small box and it was a beautiful golden ring that shaped like a rose. Lovely and beautiful.

"I mean what I said, I want us to get to know each other, we don't have to have sex to celebrate this union, I want us to take our time. Let's give it a year, a year of getting to know each other for us to really feel something."

"And when the year is up, what goes from there."

"Then we don't have to be together. We don't have to pretend to everyone that we're this great couple. That ring will show, if you feel something in me that you want to be together, wear it but if you don't, it's alright to give it back to me. I'll know the answer."
