Married To The Mafia Boss

Chapter 2

Opening a Jewelry business was the dream of her and her friends. All of them were trying hard to achieve that goal. It was not difficult for her to open a brand with her father’s money and power; She could have done that easily. But it was not only her in the team, Emily might be her friend and she would have done anything to help her but Emily was prideful.

She joined their team on the condition that they would not take any help from Aurora's or Susan’s father. Susan agreed immediately because she would rather eat poison than take help from her father. They are not on good terms due to some reasons. And Emily, unlike Aurora and Susan, didn’t come from a rich background. Her parents owned a little farm in a village and they loved their farm life. Emily on the other hand had big dreams so she came to the big city of Churchill.

Once they reached, Aurora eyed the beautiful entrance of that restaurant. She didn't know why but this place gives her a kind of solace. The beautiful wooden furniture on the top of the roof with exotic plants and the cool breeze of air that passes through her hair.

She felt like her mother was caressing her hair. Alas! The beautiful memories of her mother. She used to be the centre of her universe but after her death, it was just Aurora and her father. Shaking her head to clear the memories away she looked around for the place to sit but luck was not on her side.

There is no place to sit inside. That's the problem with those small and famous restaurants. They pack up immediately after opening up. "Here goes our lunch plan!" She said, her stomach crumbled in hunger.

"Are we going to eat lunch standing On our legs, Aurora?" Susan asked in her high octave voice, raising her brows dramatically.

Aurora rolled her eyes. "No. A server will come here to invite us inside and give us the best table here" She imitated her but as if God just granted her a moment of luck. A man did come to them and invited them inside.

"Wow! That was quick" Emily perked. The delicious aroma of Italian food, the Smell of garlic and herbs made Aurora's mouth drool over the food.

The man took them to a small table for three in the corner. It was a little away from the other tables and near the manager's office.

"Here is the menu madam." The server said, handing them the menu card.

Unlike the five star restaurants, she usually goes with her father, the menu there was not fixed on the leather Cover.

It was a thick red and green paper which was lamninated to protect it from getting damaged with continuous touching from numerous people.

"The place is small but the aroma of food is mouth-watering" Susan whispered. The man left, leaving them to decide their order.

Emily opened it and started reading it:

"Caprese Salad with Pesto Sauce.

Panzanella.

Bruschetta.

Focaccia Bread.

Pasta Carbonara.

Margherita Pizza.

Mushroom Risotto.

Pasta Con Pomnodoro E Basilico. Blah! Blah!Blah!"

"There is a lot to decide, Aurora, Hmm! I am confused?" Emily said, reading the menu.

"Try Mushroom Risotto. It's delicious." Aurora told her, deciding she would be having the same with Focaccia Bread and Pasta Carbonara.

"Drinks?" Susan asked again. "You know what, let's order the classic Italian red wine for us. Aurora will be having a lemonade" she said, deciding for Aurora which She didn't like but one glare from Susan was enough for her to know 'I can make my own decisions' slang was not going to work here.

In Susan's words, Aurora should wear a signboard saying, "Don't give me liquor. I am Alcohol sensitive." A single glass of liquor was enough for her to lose her mind.

Almost twenty minutes passed but no one came to take their order. They looked for the server but as if he had disappeared in the air. "Let me fnd a server, I can't wait for anyone to notice us and come to take our order" Aurora told her friends and stood up to find a server. She was about to walk over to a waiter she saw taking orders from an old couple but suddenly a man bumped into her and she gasped in pain.

"Can't you see?" She complained, rubbing her hand to soothe the pain.

"I apologize, but it was you who bumped into me." He said and that made her raise her head to see the man who dare to blame her for his mistake.

"Excuse me!" She snapped at him but when she saw his face she was lost. The man standing in front of her was handsome, She had never seen Someone like him, Aurora King was dumbstruck!

She kept staring at him. Brown hair, blue eyes, Sharp cheekbones. He was in his late twenties or early thirties. His height was a perfect six inches. She felt something fluttering in her belly. The man was too beautiful to look at. Am I having a crush moment? The man

looked delicious...

But then she came out of her dreamland

when she heard his sharp voice. "Yes, it was your mistake.." he said as if he owns the world.My mistake, That hypocrite! To hell with him being Mr Too beautiful to look at! If he can be rude so can I. He didn't know who Aurora King is.Only a nice face, not nice manners. Bloody arrogant!!

"Look Mr."

"Gabriel," the man told her his name like he was the king of the world and she was one of his subjects. "Ya! Mr Gabriel, It was you who bumped into me.." Aurora told him He sighed, scratched theside of his head with his forefinger. "Alright, it was my mistake. I accept it." Aurora smirked. "I know it was your mistake.You should stop behaving like some demi-god and accept your mistake.." Aurora was telling him about his attitude when he cut her off.

"Look miss, I apologized to you not because it was my mistake but because there are people around us who are watching us and I don't want any kind of unwanted attention and second, my uncle once told me to avoid fools because there is no good in talking to them" he told her and simply walked

away.

It took her a moment to understand that he just called her a fool, her mouth hangs open, "did he just call me a fool?" She whispered to herself.

"Arh!" She screeched in anger and looked around to find that man but he was nowhere to be found and that made her even more agqravated.

Now She crave to teach that man the lesson he would never forget.
