Billionaire Mafia

Kylie's Real Assignment

Antonio's POV:

I want to yell at her so bad. I did not want her to shoot. But I knew if she didn't, we both would've died. I was sitting at the edge of her bed watching her sleep peacefully. I then seen her eyes flutter a little as she opened them. "Kylie?" I asked while getting off the bed. "You know, I don't get paid enough for this," she said chuckling lightly. "Get some rest," I said while walking towards the door. She called me as soon as I put my hand on the door knob. I turned to her and she asked "Why did you propose to me? I know it was to satisfy Mr. Sanchez but it seemed like you were more than prepared."

"My dad and I looked at the files of all the people Mr. Sanchez partners with. For the most part, they're all married learners. So we assumed the reason he said no to the deal the first time was because I didn't have a woman. My dad decided to send you to be my stand in wife until further notice. So yes, we will be married legally but it doesn't really mean anything," I said walking towards her.

"Or you can find a woman you love, actually marry her and have kids with her. People who are in love know love when they see it. He'll find out eventually." She said while sitting up.

"Then I guess you better play your role good," I said walking back to the door.

"With all due respect Boss, I understand I do work for you but there are certain things I just won't do. I refuse to marry for a deal. I want to marry for love." She said stubbornly with an angry face.

I turned to her quickly, "And if you don't do whatever the fuck I tell you to do, there will be consequences. Permanent consequences in fact. Don't play with me Mrs. Ricci," I smirked at her and walked out the door.

Kylie's POV:

I don't care how good looking and powerful this man is. I refuse to marry someone I don't love let alone a man who doesn't love me. He's crazy for this. And Andre lies to me about what I was here for because he knew I would say no. But I knew no matter how much I refused, I had to do it. My life is in Antonio's hands and it sucks. I pray that the marriage is temporary but a part of me wishes this was out of love.

I walked downstairs to see Antonio drinking coffee and reading papers in the living room. I walked in front of him and crossed my arms looking angry hoping to get his attention. There was silence. I cleared my throat and he looked up to me as he signed and asked, "May I help you?" with an irritated tone. "You know it's wrong to marry someone unwillingly." I said in a defensive tone. Antonio looked at me and just started laughing. I was confused and mad and he loved it. He smiled as I started to look more annoyed.

"You think I wanna marry you Kylie? Come on now, I've seen better," he said with a straight face. "It's an assignment. This 'marriage' doesn't mean shit to me. Marriage in general is useless," he said as he resumed to sign papers.

"It's not useless!" I said raising my voice a bit.

"It is very. As well as having a family," he said while sipping his coffee.

"What is so problematic about having a family?" I said to him while tilting my head still looking angry.

He put the papers beside him, "Love is a distraction and it gets you absolutely nowhere but I'm damned positions. You always have to worry about pleasing the other person and honestly, it's draining. As far as having children, they bring too much danger. It's too risky. That's what's problematic. As far as this marriage, it's loveless and professional. Don't get any ideas."

"Well one day I will find that someone Antonio. And when I do, I'll show you that it's worth the risk. Because at the end of the day, I'll be happy." I said sternly.

I tried to walk away but I felt Antonio grab my wrist aggressively. He pinned my to the wall squeezing my arms tightly. It was painful. I looked at him and all I seen were the coldness in his eyes and the blank expression on his face. "That one day better not be during this marriage. Because you remain loyal to me until the end. I don't want to see or hear about you being with anyone else. Understand?" He said stone coldly. I shook my head yes and he said with an evil smirk on his face "Good girl Mrs. Ricci." And pushed me away from him.

As he walked away, I felt tears coming down my eyes. I never understood how he could be nice at times but very very cold at other times. He was so confusing and unpredictable, it made me emotional. 'I hate this' I said in my head. 'My mom was right. Maybe I don't have a shot at happiness and love' I also said in my head. I was heartbroken because I never intended on my life being this way. I fought for my freedom once and I will do it again.
