THE MAFIA’S BRIDE

Chapter 11: The proposal

ETHAN

As we walked into the living room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. Elsie was safe, and Sebastian was finally behind bars but as I remember what Sebastian told me at the police station i know this is not going to be easy, since Sebastian said that there is another person, who is that? Who is the mastermind of all this plan.”

But as I looked at Elsie, I knew that this was only the beginning. We still had to take down the rest of the organization, and I knew that I couldn't do it without her by my side.

I took a deep breath and turned to her. "Elsie, from the moment I met you, I knew that you were different. You're strong, smart, and beautiful. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

I pulled out a small box from my pocket and opened it, revealing a beautiful diamond ring. "Will you marry me, Elsie? Not just for love, but for protection. As my wife, you'll be under my umbrella, and no one will ever dare to touch you again."

Elsie's eyes widened in shock, and I could see the wheels turning in her head. I knew that this wasn't a traditional proposal, but I hoped that she would see the sense in it.

"What do you say, Elsie? Will you be my wife

ELSIE

I stared at the ring in shock, my mind racing with thoughts. Marriage? To Ethan? It was a lot to take in.

I looked up at him, trying to read his expression. Was this just a business proposal, or was there something more behind it? I couldn't tell.

"Elsie, please," Ethan said, his voice low and urgent. "I know this isn't a traditional proposal, but I need you to understand the situation. As my wife, you'll be protected. No one will ever dare to touch you again."

I nodded, taking a deep breath. I knew what he was saying was true. As the head of the organization, he had the power to keep me safe. But was that enough of a reason to get married?

"I need time to think," I said finally, trying to stall for time.

Ethan's face fell, but he nodded. "Okay, I understand. Take all the time you need."

I turned and walked away, trying to clear my head. Marriage was a big decision, and I couldn't make it lightly.

As I walked, I thought about everything that had happened. The kidnapping, the rescue, the proposal. It was all so surreal.

But one thing was clear: I had feelings for Ethan. Strong feelings. And I knew that he felt the same way.

But was that enough? Was love enough to base a marriage on?

I didn't know. And that's why I needed time to think.

I walked into my room and closed the door, trying to shut out the world. I needed to think, to figure out what I wanted.

As I sat on the bed, staring at the closed door I can’t help but think about my parents, I couldn’t believe mr Sebastian was the one doing all this evil deeds it’s really sad to think that my father right hand man was the killer the man he trusted the most
