Circle Of Love

Chapter Four

The next day, Amy walked into her office and saw the whole room filled with flowers. She stood there looking at them. Matthew came in behind her.

"Whoa," Matthew said.

"Babe, did you do this, it's amazing," Amy said.

"Baby, I wish I did," Matthew said.

"Oh god," Amy said. She checked the card and groaned.

"Lucas," Amy said.

"Why is he sending you flowers?" Matthew asked.

"Who knows, probably to get me to meet with him since I wouldn't," Amy said.

"Wow," Jamie said.

"Go overboard here, Matt?" Ashley asked.

"It wasn't me, Lucas sent them," Matthew said.

"What," Jamie said.

"Why is he sending an unavailable woman flowers," Ashley said.

"Wow," Rachel said.

"Rachel, get a hold of your brother, tell him to tell his boss that this is uncalled for, I'm not interested period in meeting with him," Amy said.

"Okay," Rachel said. She went to call her brother. The girls began moving the flowers out of the office and into the photography studio.

"Greg is telling him now," Rachel said.

"He knows I have a boyfriend, what could he possibly want with me," Amy said.

"Amy?" Rachel asked.

"What," Amy said.

"Greg told me that Lucas is looking for a wife," Rachel said.

"And let me guess, he wants my girl," Matthew said.

"I assume so," Rachel said.

"He is not getting me, I am very taken," Amy said.

"I told Greg that, he's telling Lucas," Rachel said.

"Um.." Jamie said.

"What," Amy said.

"My brother kind of has a thing for you as well, he was asking me how serious you two were," Jamie said.

"Tell him we are very serious," Matthew said.

"Okay Jamie, tell your brother that I'm very taken, that I love my boyfriend," Amy said.

"I'm not giving her up for anything in the world," Matthew said.

"I've told him that, he said nothing lasts forever," Jamie said.

"I can't believe this," Amy said.

"Call them both here now," Matthew said.

"Matt," Amy said.

"No, we need to end this crap right now, they know you and I are together, they need to know their place," Matthew said. Rachel made a call to Greg while Jamie called her brother. An hour later, Amy and Matthew were sitting in her father's office waiting. Lucas comes in. He smiled and sits down. Nick comes in and sees Lucas and sits down.

"Okay, I asked for both of you here because it seems you two have grown an attraction towards me, I would like that to stop, I have a boyfriend and he is sitting right here next to me, I love him and I have no intention of breaking up with him anytime soon, it may never end, we could get married, but the both of you need to back off and leave me alone, no more flowers or asking your sister about me, I am not available, I'm taken," Amy said.

"Yes you are taken, by me," Lucas said.

"She's my girlfriend, not yours," Matthew said.

"You are right about that, she's not my girlfriend, but she's not yours either, she's my wife," Lucas said.

"I most certainly am not!" Amy said.

"Yes you are, Amy, I just got the papers this morning, it was done weeks ago, I promise you I knew nothing about it," Lucas said.

"Yeah right," Amy said.

"How is this possible?" Matthew asked.

"It's what the mafia families do, they set up marriages to women who can take care of themselves and are a strong queen," Nick said.

"I can't believe this, this can't be legal," Matthew said.

"I'm sorry but it is, I had my lawyer look it over," Lucas said.

"I will never be your wife," Amy said.

"You are, Amy," Lucas said.

"Get it annulled," Matthew said.

"Not a good idea in the mafia world," Nick said.

"I can't let her go, I love her," Matthew said.

"There is no choice here, she is to come with me as my wife, or she and her loved ones lose everything," Lucas said.

"What," Amy said.

"If you choose to stay with how your life is now, your father will lose this agency, Matthew will lose his job and the condo, your brothers will lose their jobs and possessions," Lucas said.

"Oh god," Amy said.

"You can't be serious, this can't be real, you are just saying that to get her for yourself," Matthew said.

"I know Lucas, he doesn't lie," Nick said.

"What's going on here," Jack said.

"Dad!" Amy said. She got up and ran into his arms. She cried as he held her.

"Sweetheart what is it?" Jack asked. She told him everything. Jack looked at her and looked at Lucas.

"It's come to this," Jack said.

"Dad?" Amy asked.

"Honey, it's all true, I never told you the truth about my past, my family was mafia," Jack said

"What," Amy said.

"What," Matthew said.

"We formed an alliance with Lucas's parents, I wanted out of the mafia so we combined families, we set up a contract for a certain date to finalize the union," Jack said.

"Oh no please no," Amy said.

"I'm sorry, sweetheart, it's all real, you are his wife, the date was today," Jack said.

"Oh god no," Matthew said.

"Dad!" Amy said.

"You are Mrs. Lucas Reigns," Jack said.
