Contract Marriage With My Mafia Student

Chapter 2

Davina's Pov:

I could feel his heated gaze on me the whole time I gave lectures, he'd occasionally smirk when his gaze falls on mine which sends my heart racing ablaze. I didn't know what he wanted and I couldn't bring myself to even start imagining, all I knew and could tell was he was up to no good with the way he was sitting quietly observing my every action. I hurriedly packed up my books and scurried out of the class as soon as the bell went off, I didn't want to spend even a minute there as I couldn't stand his stares. I flopped down into my chair and placed my head on my desk looking lifeless, " I'm doomed, it's over for me. What's that kid planning to do? will he spread my secret around on campus? " it seemed my life was over. How was I going to take care of mom's hospital bills when I loose this job and no University would ever hire me when this goes out " aaah! he is even rumored to be a mafia boss, oh Davina you're screwed " I pulled and ran my hands in my hair as I disheveled my hair and it scattered around on the desk, I was so lost in thoughts and kicking my legs around when I felt someone pat me. I instantly cursed underneath remembering where I was and I slowly sat up well, I quickly rearranged myself properly and turned to my colleague who patted me with a sweet smile

" is everything alright? you don't look good "

" oh no, I was just remembering something I forget to do at home "

I lied through my teeth without batting an eye

" I'm sorry for bothering you with my actions "

I quickly apologized to him as I tucked a hair behind my ear

" oh no it's okay, I thought the kids have you trouble today "

he quickly said back to me smiling brightly, for the rest of the day I decided to focus on my work and just wait patiently for my doom. I did think to resign before the kid starts to spread rumors about me but something deep inside of me just shrugged the thought away. I walked out of the University after school was over and started to make my way to the bus stop, I jumped out of the way startled when a red sports car suddenly drove in high speed and stopped in front of me. I felt so agitated as I stared at the car shocked, the window suddenly went down and I bend ready to lash out on whoever it was. My eyes widened up baffled as I stared face to face in a trance with my doom

" get in "

I was brought out of my trance as he said to me and I stared dumbfounded

" what? "

I asked confused as I thought my ears were playing tricks on me, he glared dangerously at me looking impatiently

" do you want us to talk about that here "

I quickly opened the door and took a seat not waiting for him to repeat himself, I just couldn't bring myself to believe I'd be playing around a kids fingers and be ordered around like I was his colleague. But what can I do when he has dirt on me, he sped away not uttering a word to me or sparring me a glance. He parked the car in a parking and turned to me

" get out "

I quickly nodded and opened the door and got out as did he, he walked over to over to me as he stared at me with a very cold gaze.

" follow me "

he started to lead me into a five star restaurant and I followed behind quietly feeling nervous, the workers and a man who was dressed up in fine suit looking like the owner of the restaurant hurriedly walked to us.

" benvenuto signor Cassano "

he said to him in Italian making me stared lost and clueless as they conversed in their language, my heart started to race as I tried to make out what they were talking about since I don't understand their language. I started to think of a lot of scenarios where they'd d**g me and traffic me and a lot, that was what mafias do and the kid in front of me was rumored to be a mafia boss. Well it didn't matter to me whether it was true or not at first but right now I had to put that into consideration, last night he was with muscled bodyguards and now the way the workers and the owner of the restaurant were humbling themselves to him showed he was not to be messed with. He urged me to follow him after his conversation with the owner but I was reluctant, I wanted to run out of the restaurant but I stopped thinking about that as I knew it would me impossible to. He stopped in his tracks and turned back as he glared dangerously which made me shivered thinking he was angry that I was still standing

" nessuno dovrebbe disturbarci "

I breathed out a sigh as he said to the owner and I hurriedly followed behind, he pushed opened a big door and we walked in. It looked like a private room and it was designed beautiful, the couches and round tables were put together marvelously.

" why are you still standing? "

I didn't know he had already taken a seat until he asked me, I quickly walked to him and took a seat in the couch across him. His gaze was focused on me as he silently stared which me feel nervous and terrified,

" so Prof, aah we're no longer in the University so I could call you Davina, right? "

I felt my heart skipped a beat as he called my name with his accent which made my name sounded somehow sexy, now looking at him closely he had beautiful features. His handsome face, his muscular looking face I mean he basically looked like a greek god. My eyes widened as I felt embarrassed to be checking out my own student, my eyes met with his as he stared at me amused and smirked

" are you done? "

my face heated up as he asked making me cleared my throat,

" what did you wanna talk about? are you planning to expose my secret to the university? "

he stared at me amused as I asked, the only thing we could talk about was what he saw last night and if he was planning to expose me I could not stop him.

" you're really amusing, but it's a shame you have to let other men touch your beautiful body "

I looked at him dumbfounded and stunned as he said that to me, my body or whoever I let touch me had nothing to do with him which made me confused why he'd bring that up.

" what are you trying to say? "

he leaned back to the couch and crossed him legs, his gaze which was just warm a moment ago turned cold and the air around him felt suffocating as he dominated the room.

" I want to propose a business to you Davina "

I stared back at him in anger as I thought he was going to blackmail me,

" what business could possibly be established between a professor and a first year student? are you trying to blackmail me? "

he started to laugh with made me stared baffled

" what would I gain from blackmailing you? what I want is something different "

he suddenly bend and pulled out an envelope from underneath the table and threw it to me

" what's this? "

I asked him confused but rather he stared bored

" open it "

I opened it as he told me to, I pulled out the paper files in them and started to go through. My eyes widened up and I felt anger surged within me

" what the hell is this?! how dare you investigate about me have you no shame?! who the f**k do you think you are? "

I was so shocked to see a bunch of pictures and the files which were all about me

" what do you want from me? if it's about where you saw me last night you could go ahead and tell the school about! if you'd excuse me we have nothing more to talk about "

I stood up from the couch and started to make my way to the door in anger

" and how sure are you that I would just tell only the school, I could make sure you never get a job anywhere not only here in Venice with just a phone call. A video of you dancing against a pole and men harassing your body is all I need and I have plenty of them .. "

I abruptly stopped in my tracks and turned back to him shocked, he looked at me with a devilish look and he smirked

" I don't want to have to do that so come back and sit down Davina, as I said I want something different so why don't you listen to me first "

" and why should I? "

I quickly asked him and his smile widened up

" what if I said I would take care of your mother's hospital bills and I'll pay for her heart transplant? "

those words were the only thing he needed to make me submit and I did, as a mafia boss he was filthy rich so paying for mom's bills was nothing to him which made his words tempted me. I slowly dragged my feet back and sat down

" I'm listening "

he smirked playfully

" sign a five years contract marriage with me .... "

" what?! "

I shouted stunned by his words

" are you out of your mind? a contract marriage with you? I am so many years older than you and I am your b****y teacher for heaven's sake! "

I yelled at him in disbelief and he just laughed it off

" I don't even know you from anywhere and you're asking me to commit myself to you? "

I added

" age doesn't matter since I am an adult and being my professor also doesn't matter, it'd be illegal if I wasn't up to age and the university doesn't have to know. We will get to know each other in marriage "

he nonchalantly said to me which made me stared at him more in disbelief

" don't you want to know what you'd be gaining in this contract marriage? "

I gulped as he asked and I stared at him conflicted

" what would I gain from it? "

Vincenzo smirked as I shamelessly asked him

" everything you want, I am willing to give you everything Davina and I know what you want most is to save your mother right. I would take responsibility for both you and your mother, I'll have her taken to a bigger hospital with good doctors. I would afford all her medical bills, the longer she stays put without the heart transplant the sooner her heart gives out. So why don't you let me help you with that, all you have to do is be my legal wife for five years and after that I'll let you go but not empty handed "

I stared at him more conflicted as he said to me in a very serious tone, but something just doesn't add up. Why would he want to help me in the first place, we were total strangers yet he wants to spend his five years with me and help me. I couldn't help myself but to think he wanted something from me

" why would you want to do all this for me? you're young and rich you can get any girl you want so why would you want to spend five years with a middle aged woman like me whom you don't even know anything about? What would you gain in this contract marriage? "

he leaned to the table and placed his elbows standing and clasped his fingers together before resting his chin on them

" firstly I want to make my nonna happy, I found no one suitable but you, you're so different from the women I've met so far and you're most suitable for this job. What would I gain from the marriage? The smiles you'd bring on my nonna's face would be my gain, you have to do everything a married couple would do with me for five years and you'd be the daughter-in-law and mistress of the Cassano Family. I don't need to tell you it's a mafia family since you already know that, this contract is good for you and I see no reason for you to turn it down "

I stared at him silently as I thought hard about it, having to do everything married couples would means I'd have to sleep with him. Ha! I'd have to sleep with a student of mine and be married to him, that was really something but as he said. In this contract I'd be the one benefiting most from it, my mom's medical bills was a lot and we owed the hospital a lot too, plus him paying for heart transplant which cost insane. The longer the heart transplant is delayed the quicker my mom nears her demise and I knew I couldn't afford the money for the heart transplant yet, with all my savings it still wouldn't be enough for anything since the hospital wouldn't start her treatment without me paying them what we owe and my savings wasn't even enough to pay all our debts. His deal was tempting and accepting it wasn't a bad thing, but I was also scared. Accepting it meant I was now going to be part of a mafia family which was scary, I've watched a lot of terrible news about the Cassano Family Mafia and they were one of the most feared mafias here in Venice. I felt so conflicted and I just couldn't bring myself to accept it right there

" can I ... give you my answer the next day? I want to think about it over night "

he stared at me silently for a whole five minutes as I felt so dominated by him

" okay you have just tomorrow, by the way I didn't want to do this but be prepared to live the rest of your life without a job when you refuse me "

I felt a pang in my heart as he said that to me with a warm smile, he was young but he was truly terrifying just like a Mafia boss. Everything he's said so far showed just how bad things would be if agree, but with his threats and all he just didn't seem that bad to me. All I could think of was the fact that my mom would be able to get a heart transplant as soon as I agreed, all I had to do was sell my five years to this kid and all my problems would be taken care of, what more could go wrong?.
