I'd taken a law and business degree at university to make sure I knew everything before I took him on suck s**t Mr. Elijah Rivera this is the end of our contract. It will be terminated once you agree to our divorce. I have been saving my money from my part time job but I needed more to pay him back for digging me out of the hole I would've been in if he hadn't helped me out but it came with a price one I wasn't willing to pay anymore. I'd made some great friends at university one had Luca Romero. He had an Italian background and I had been working in his parents' restaurant since I had begun classes.
We'd bumped into one another the first day I began Uni and we'd been friends ever since. He'd told me to follow my dreams and I was going to do that once Uni was over. He'd also told me my happiness mattered and if I was unhappy to put behind all the unhappiness in my life and begin again and that's when I realised I'd never been truly happy since I'd signed that ridiculous contract and become Elijah Riviera's wife. It was time for change so when these four years were up I was going to divorce his sorry ass and move on and finally be happy.
Luca had stood out the most, everyone seemed to be scared of him, but why? Would he be an ally or a deceiver like all of the others. Everyone here seems to know of Elijah Rivera and wouldn't do anything against that arrogant asshole. They all seem to look up to him for some unknown reason.
I'd been warned to stay away from Luca but why was beyond me, he was the first to introduce himself and be polite to me, even take me under his wing, he was a pure gentleman, unlike Elijah. But the things he said were a little worrying. I'm not sure if he noticed I had heard him or not. He was a dark horsey hat everyone in Uni seems to be scared of. but me. He was a sweetheart that I'm sure was after more than just being friends but right now I wasn't interested in all of that Ijust wanted to continue with my studies and have friends I could at least rely on. I'm not sure I could rely on any here, but Luca he seemed different, unaffected but Elijah but I just couldn't figure out why.Luca and. I were really close. I'd agreed to see him whilst I was at the same Camus as him, what Elijah didn't know wouldn't hurt him right?
I hadn't seen or spoken to Elijah after he came to see me at Christmas and refused to return, telling him I had way too much work to do and he believed me so he came down to visit me and we spent Christmas here in the apartment he had given me. Luca had gone to italy to visit his family and I had told him Elijah was coming to visit so he'd agreed to stay away, but when he returned he demanded that I told him everything about Elijah, not wanting to make a scene I had, he was furious and he had promised me that he would get me out of this marriage if it was the last thing he'd do.
He had decided that we were to be a couple whilst we were in uni so no one questioned why I was spending time with him as he was the richest guy here he had more money than Elijah, but I didn't care. He was my friend, so I agreed. The Dean also knew of our arrangement but said nothing. I had a feeling he and Elijah weren't as close,as he had made it out or be. I'd also been put on a fashion and design course after I had shown him my designs. I was quite happy with the way things were going. Elijah on the other hand wasn't too pleased with my choices I had made without his input and he didn't agree with my choice of a second course but he had no say on it as the Dean had put me forward for it anyway. Now I was sitting in the restaurant with Luca fratranisng over my future.
I sat nervously and had to figure a way out of this marriage and get divorced before Elijah made me lose everything.
"Are you okay princess?"
"I'm scared Luca."
He pulled me into a hug. "There's no need to be scared you have me."
"But Elijah."
"I'm Mafia, princess I can get anything and that piece of s**t won't ever stop me."
"But he will try and stop you from hiring me."
"I already hired you, princess."
"He told me if I ever tried to divorce him he'd make sure I'd never get a job."
"But you have one."
"And I can easily lose it because of him."
He placed his hand in my chin lifting it. "He can't do s**t princess. I am the mafia and I own you now he will soon find that out."
He leaned forward pressing his lips on mine kissing me passionately with tongue.
He moved away. "Now no more thinking what he thinks he is capable of when I am capable of so much more. He won't know what's hit him princess."
Why did I ever agree to starting a relationship with this guy he's worse than Elijah?
Two Years Later
I've been in university for two years now and I must say I've been having the time of my life I've made a lot of friends during this time one in particular Luca he's been with me through the entire events that have been unravelling up to this point though he finished Uni last summer he always makes time for me and has promised me a better job once I finish Uni this summer but I fear that will never happen as planned because as soon as Elijah finds the letter that I have sent him about the divorce I will be all alone and I will have no friends, no one to turn to, no one I can truly trust and more importantly no job to go to.
Once Elijah realises that I have not been bluffing for the past four years he will have my head in a vice and make sure everyone everywhere not to employ me because I broke out contract and that alone will have people talking and employees will not want to hire someone who can't comply with terms of a contract. But Luca being Luca reassures me that won't ever happen and whatever Elijah tried to use against me he won't win and he will hire me no matter regardless. I just don't seem to believe any of his words cause in the end Elijah will twist all his bullshit words and Luca will believe all of them and in the end he will turn against me too.
I know who he is and it no longer scares me like it used to; he is the kindest and sweetest man I have ever met. But, can I trust him to stand by his word and not back down from Elijah's lies ? No I can't.
I just can't bring myself to believe a guy like Luca would believe me over a well outward business man like Elijah. I didn't know too much about Luca's life and I don't want to. I know he is Mafia but I'm not sure if he is the kingpin or the second hand, he always deceives himself so well, he's an entrepreneur when it comes to business. I've seen how well he holds his own and makes so many business decisions after his father had given him control over the restaurant where he made sure I had been given a job so I could pay for what I needed at university although having to ask Elijah for a penny I owed him enough. I'd been working there for four years now and I was enjoying it though it was hard work and long hours. I was enjoying the atmosphere around me. But I knew that would slowly and abruptly come to an end once Elijah would see the divorce papers.
I haven't seen Elijah since Christmas when he made me come home why I don't know cause he ignored my precance after Christmas Day and all I wanted to do was go back to my apartment near the campus cause all he was interested in was work and his whores I don't understand why he's keeping me around when he clearly had no love for me and no interest in whatsoever. I may as well be a nun than live with this asshole he only realises I am around when he's shitfaced drink and tires to fuxk me he hated when I sent him and we argue if he doesn't like it he should go to his hoes or better divorce me and continue with his sacred affairs without me being there l I can't file for bingo my cause I agreed to his stupid contract one that Luca knows abotu and is not happy about one I couldn't do anyhtng about I trust Luca as much as I trust Jasper but the events that were about to take place would change everything in my life. And who I could really trust.
