OWNED
The word tasted like poison on her tongue..
'No i can't be owned, I'm not a commodity stock'
Aria said why pacing the room like a caged animal..No this is not her life, fate must have mistaken her for someone else...Her mind spun with fury, disbelief, and something far more dangerous.....CURIOSITY.
What kind of man kidnapped a woman, filtered with her, and claimed ownership in the same breath?
A mafia don apparently..
She flopped down on the edge of the velvet armchair and glared at the opulence surrounding her. marble floors, crystal chandelier, designers everything, it was a palace. but she was still a prisoner
The door creaked...
which made her snapped up straight, with her heart hammering in her chest as a maid walked in, she was young, just by mere looking you'll know she's either in her eighteen or nineteen, she was slightly trembling, her dark eyes flickering to Aria before lowering respectfully..
"Signor De Luca asked me to bring you clothes dinner will be served soon"
Aria shook her head and blink to make sure she wasn't dreaming " He asked"
The maid smiled faintly
"That's his way of being polite"
Aria rolled her eyes but still she stood, accepting the black dress the girl handed over..It was simple but yet elegant fitted, it was an off shoulder with a slit up the side that made Aria raise a brow
"This screams arm candy, not dinner guest"
The maid didn't answer, instead she bowed slightly and left as fast as she could before Aria could ask any more questions..
Fifteen minutes later, Aria was dressed and at same time furious, Aria was escorted down a windling staircase by two towering bodyguards.... Every corridor they passed whispered of money and blood...she didn't need to be told this was a house built on power..
The dining room was big, well decorated and grand style with candle lit... A long mahogany table stretched across the space, and at the end of it.. There he was in a black tailored suit and with a glass of wine in his hand,, Lorenzo De Luca
God he look dangerously breathtaking and still dangerous
"Sit" he said simply, not even bothering to take a glance at her
she only sat not because she was obeying him but because the guards hadn't moved
he finally looked at her for a moment taking in her appearance she looked gorgeous...He SMILED
"you clean up nicely"
"you don't"
He chuckled setting down his glass
"you don't fear me at all do you"
"I haven't decided yet"
A beat passed
"you'll learn" he said, his voice quiet now" but not tonight, tonight want to have dinner with the woman who who had the audacity to talk back at me"
she smirked "aww. Is this our first date, Mr mafia president"
Lorenzo laughed...
That laugh again, low, rice and undescribably charming..
"No, dolezza" he said smoothly...
"This is the part where you start to understand what it means to be mine"...
