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

"It is none of your damn business!" I fired at her.

"It is my damn business, alright? Because I can see how unhappy she is, she is just trying to play along. Or do you think because you are a Don, you can cage her and make her do as you want and in that way she becomes unhappy for the rest of her life? Then, it is not possible because she needs to be happy. She deserves happiness, pure happiness in her life." She said.

"It is none of your damn business. shut the fuck up or else."

"Or else what? You can do any fucking thing to me. It is Loana, not any other person. I know what you can do and what you cannot do. You can't do any shit to me right now. So shut the fuck up." She said.

I picked up the cigarette to lit. She was quick to snatch it from my hand.

"You can't smoke when I am here. God knows that you will always think senselessly and that was the reason he made me your second so I can advise you to make you think straight." She smiled.

"I will leave the room for you then." I said as I stood up.

"Then I will follow you anywhere you want to go. What about that?" 

I instantly sat back as she said that.

"Can't you see that she is hurting? Can't you see she is unhappy? Can't you see she is lonely and bored? She needs someone by her side, something to make her feel lively, happy and protected. She is naive, she doesn't know the real world. She doesn't know what the world holds for her. She doesn't know that the normal world is dangerous and the world we find ourselves in is more dangerous. She needs someone to protect her all the time.

You need to let go of that hatred you have towards her and her family, especially so you can know the real her. So, you can know that the real Irina is fragile and innocent who needs much love, care and safety from the people around her. You need to try. Seriously, you are nothing but a monster to her right now. She doesn't even know that you are a nice person. Until you change you will always be a jerk to her.

 She already said she is going to try and make your marriage world. You heard her, right? So you also have to put much effort into making it work out.

Make use of your honeymoon, okay? Make her feel like the queen that she is. Be a different person during this trip and start a phase of life with her with love and harmony. Be good to her, explore Thailand with her and make her for once feel lonely and sad." She preached.

"Well, I will try. I was going anyway." I agreed with her.

"That's my boy."

"What about you and that jerk?" I asked her regarding the disagreement they had.

"Don't call him a jerk. His name is Rusland and he is my husband." She scoffed as she kicked me gently.

"Whatever. I didn't know why you fell in love with him anyway." I snarled.

"I fell in love with because I love him and don't worry about us. That was just a little disagreement that we had. We will resolve it in no time. Mind your business and face your marriage." she said rudely.

"Really? So you can tell me not to interfere in your marriage while you are busy poking your nose into mine." I told her in disbelief.

"You can never resolve it like a normal person, instead you will just add more fuel to the flame." She responded.

"Shut the fuck up and get the fuck out of my room." I said angrily.

"I was going to." She said and she stood up from the chair.

She smacked my head on her way. She always finds ways to annoy me.

I took out my cigarette and lit it. I started smoking it.

I took out my phone to call Irina regarding her incapacity to cook and bringing over her maid to teach her for two weeks. I searched for her number on my phone just to find out that I don't even have my wife's number on my phone.

Great, right? 

That's so peachy.

Is that even possible? Not having your partner's number on your phone.
