Taken By The Mafia Lord

Nor did Marcel have the right to touch her. Just because he was the prince of the Luciano clan doesn’t mean he could have any woman he wanted. Kenith swore he would surely get Arianna back and then, there would be a change in his plans.

“I need you to do something for me,” Kenith said to the young man and one should see the way his face lit up. He knew instantly he was in Kenith’s good grace – his promotion was sure.

“Of course, anything for you, sir!” He announced, almost saluting him in the process.

“How many of our brothers have seen this video?” Kenith asked.

The man scratched his head, “I can’t really tell since I came to you as soon as I recognized Arianna, so I guess not much, or they are too blind to recognize our boss’ future wife,” He surmised.

“Good then,” Kenith nodded in relief, “I want you to look into as many as our men have seen the video and pass the information around, ‘not a word of it to Big Joe’ you get it?”

“Of course, Sir Kenith,” He answered.

Big Joe rarely had an online presence, so Kenith was sure that he wouldn’t be able to see the video – unless someone told him. Keeping it away from Big Joe until the wedding would work – until his leadership wouldn’t be needed anymore.

.....

“And make them understand that anyone who goes against my orders would have me to contend with,”

“Yes sir!” the man received the message obediently.

“You can leave now,” Kenith dismissed him.

“Okay, sir,” the man said and turned to go and obey his instructions until he remembered his phone was in Kenith’s hands.

He turned and gestured, “Urm... Sir.... that...”

Kenith glanced down and reluctantly handed the phone to him. He wanted to watch the video from the beginning until he remembered it was on the internet and he could find it readily.

“Thank you,” The young man said to Kenith who now had an unsmiling face.

The subordinate tilted his head to the side unsure, did he do something wrong? He hasn’t even said anything except to affirm his messages.

He was thinking about that when he opened the door only to bump into Cassie that wanted to come in as well.

“Oh, sorry,” He apologized to the woman who simply gave him a warm smile and went in.

The man turned to glance at the woman one last time, he should have known. His suspicion was right, Sir Kenith and Cassie had something going on.

Kenith heard the slight commotion at the door and looked up to see it was Cassie and a smile replaced the worry lines on his face.

She had been coming to his office more often than usual and although his people knew they were together, he wanted to keep their relationship a secret – till he was the boss – for good measure.

However, Kenith wouldn’t tell her nor stop her from coming to his office. Cassie was quite sensitive about his actions and he didn’t want things to escalate especially now she was conscious of Arianna.

Kenith didn’t know how to tell her about the slight adjustment in his plans, not that she knows much of it anyway, although she played a huge role in it.

Cassie’s role had been to buy Arianna’s trust and have her depend on Kenith which had been going well until she escaped. Now, he doesn’t know what she thinks of him anymore. For now, they would keep up the act till the wedding day.

“What was that?” Cassie asked immediately, gesturing to the young man that left his office in a hurry. It was the first time she was seeing his face in his office having known Kenith’s people.

“It’s nothing,” Kenith stood and came in front of his desk, smiling up at her, “Come here,” He opened his arms, intentionally changing the topic, “You must have had a good sleep last night,”

Cassie walked into his arms and he embraced her, she felt safe.

“I did, but it would have been much better if you were there beside me,” She pouted her lips, looking a bit annoyed.

“I’m sorry,” Kenith apologized, “But you just have to endure and soon enough, we can be together as much as we want without hiding from anybody,” He kissed her on the forehead.

Kenith knew Big Joe would not do anything to Cassie, however, considering their rocky relationship at the moment, he wouldn’t want to take any chances. After all, Big Joe might decide to use her as leverage to make him get Arianna back if Marcel fails to keep up his promise. Until he took over the gang, his relationship with Cassie was safer hidden.

“You are getting Arianna today, right?” Cassie asked all of a sudden and she felt him stiffen slightly since she was embracing him tightly.

“Yes,” He answered, trying to put the nerves, “But I’m waiting for a sign from Marcel to come over,” Victor had only told him he would have Arianna today and didn’t give him further information.

“However, If I still don’t get any news from them till noon, I’ll have to go there and knows what’s...” Kenith didn’t finish the rest of his words because his phone rang.

He picked it up from his desk and was elated to see that it was Marcel calling. But he intentionally hid his excitement and said with a calm tone, “Hello,”

“Come and get her out of my sight,”

Those were the only words Marcel said and hang up on him before Kenith could even understand what was going on.

“H-hello? Hello?”

But the call was ended already.

“What is it?” Cassie was quick to ask having witnessed the brief yet tense exchange.

“It’s Marcel, he’s given me the cue to come over,”

“That’s good news, right?!” She was elated.

“Yeah!” Kenith said, trying to match her excitement but inwardly, he was thinking hard.

The way Marcel had informed him to come over was abrupt and suspicious. Did something happen? Or did he become bored of Arianna so quickly? After all, he heard Marcel never does relationship.

A smile of unbelief mixed with mockery tugged Kenith’s lips to the sound. Who knew how Arianna must be feeling at the moment?

Truthfully speaking, Kenith didn’t have many feelings for Arianna but like most of the men out there, he was attracted to the new doll aka Arianna while keeping his precious doll aka Cassie in the dark and by his side as a means of indemnity if things go wrong.

One of the reasons he had been attracted to Arianna was because of her innocent, the girl was so naive it was cute. But then, it must have all been an act considering what she did with Marcel. They must have had a wild night.

Although Kenith was mad Marcel had her before him, Arianna was left for him now. He was sure Marcel would not interfere with her matters having gotten what he wanted.

“Hey,” Cassie roused him from his thought by cupping his cheek, “Is everything alright?” she looked at him in concern.

“Everything is fine,” Kenith smiled brightly at her and then kissed her once more on the forehead before picking up his phone to inform his men to prepare.

It was time to capture their boss’ runaway wife.
