Arranged To Marry The Enemy (a Mafia story) by Zainab Ajike (no david read aloud txt) 📕

"Good morning, Ma'am" A voice said behind me. I turned to see the owner of the voice. He is a man around his early fifties. He dressed corporately.

His face looks old and somehow scary but I decided not to show my fear for him.

"Hey" I replied to him curtly.

"What are you doing outside early in the morning, ma?" 

"I am actually going out of the house. I was looking for the garage. Roman told me I have my driver, so?" I rumbled my words. Seriously, I don't know what to say.

Who goes out after six early in the morning?

"Oh, about that. I will be your new driver and bodyguard. Although I am not the only bodyguard you have, I will be the only with you anytime you go out." He said.

That relieved me. Thank goodness, I found him on time.

"Can we go right now? I have to be somewhere right now." I said to him.

"Have you Informed the boss?" The man asked suspiciously. 

"He knows about it and you have to ask him for permission before driving me. You are my driver now not his, you go by my rules and regulations." I said to him, feeling annoyed about what he just said now.

"I am so sorry, ma'am. My apologies. Let's go to the car" He started walking towards where the parking lot was.

I somehow feel bad about how I spoke harshly to him.

We got to the car, Mercedes Benz, He opened the door for me and I got in. He walked to the driver's side and he got in.

"I am sorry about how I spoke to you, you just got on my wrong side. I am Irina by the way" I apologized and at the same time introduced myself to him.

In my family, we have a rule everyone abides with. We have rules and principles and one of the rules is apologizing to a person after wronging them or treating them badly.

"It's okay ma, I chose to witness the wrong side of you. I am kies by the way" what he said somehow made me laugh. 

He chose to witness the wrong side of me? It's amazing.

"The address ma?" He asked. I gave him the address and he drove off.

When I got to the café, I texted loana about my arrival there.

'Opps, I can't come this early. I have to help mom in the kitchen and treat my husband nicely before leaving the house. I will be there around 9:00am. Is that okay with you?' She replied.

Her text made me sad. She took my place entirely and she made me look like I am a bad wife to my husband. I don't give in to his demands whereas his sister is busy loving and caring for my brother. 

I feel really bad about it all, maybe I should change the way I behave towards him.

I shouldn't be jealous about her taking my place in the house, I wasn't much of a help when I was there though. So, she is the right person to be in that position.

This is just seven, I can't wait for her for two hours without doing nothing. I decided to sleep in the car while waiting for her.

And I slept off.

There was a knock on the window of the car, the knock woke me up. I can't believe I had to let kies go through this. Oh, shit. He is too old for this.

I compared myself and checked the person there. There she is, loana. She looks stunning just like the day of the wedding.

I wonder how my day will go with her....
