Mafia's Marriage Contract Insulting his Wife
Silence. Ryder is fidgeting with his spoon, trying to organize his thoughts. Scarlett is sitting across him, slowly chewing her food as she scrolls through her phone, not even looking at him. They’re having breakfast together like usual but the silence is killing him.For the past few days, she has been distant, almost cold to him. She refuses to meet his gaze and avoids him. There’s no mistaking the anger she’s feeling and Ryder can’t blame her. He keeps on pulling her and then pushing her away, confusing her even more.Scarlett, on her part, is simply waiting. She’s not looking at him but silently hoping that he’ll approach her and tell her why he doesn’t want her to hate him. What’s he hiding and why?Ryder clears his throat.“We’ve got a meeting regarding the mines today,” he says. “I think we’ll be able to get the deal signed.”“Hm.”That’s her response. She’s still looking at her phone.“We might have to fly down south to take a look at the mines,” he goes on. “It’ll be good fo
Mafia's Marriage Contract First meeting
Elle is flipping through the pages of her old picture book, gazing at the photos she kept in it. She touches one picture which was clicked back when she was only fifteen. Her smile in the picture is radiant and glowing because she’s with the person she loves the most. Yes. His arm is wrapped around her in the picture. Ryder.She smiles at his handsome features. He used to be more boyish, thinner but equally handsome. Elle used to tease him to become a singer or a teen idol but he refused. He didn’t want to leave his family and he also had a little sister to take care of. The mention of his sister used to make Elle jealous because she loathed sharing him with anyone.Her mind goes back to the first day they met…*Twelve years ago*“Ugh!” Elle winces in pain. Her cheek is bleeding and her arm is hurt. She hurt her leg so Hector is carrying her in his arms and is immensely worried. His face is filled with concern for her and he’s holding her close. He bursts through the door of his man
Mafia's Marriage Contract Date Night (1)
Hector is nervous as he walks along the corridor, toward his father’s study. Vincent has summoned him as soon as he reached home and he has an inkling what it might be about. He stands outside the room, composes himself, and knocks on the door.“Enter,” Vincent’s voice comes from within.Hector slowly enters the room. Vincent is sitting on a chair, quietly sipping whiskey. Hector is about to sit on the chair opposite to him when his father raises his hand.“Don’t,” he sharply says. Hector pauses and straightens himself. Vincent puts the glass aside on a table and stands up to walk to his son.Without warning, Vincent slaps Hector across the cheek. Hector is unfazed as the slap echoes in his ears, his cheek hot due to the hit. He turns to his father, not betraying his emotions.“You f*cking fool!” Vincent snarls. “You can’t do anything right, can you? Letting that b*tch ex-wife of yours take away our project! How could you be so careless?”“Our proposal was perfect-” Hector begins but
Mafia's Marriage Contract Date Night (2)
“Where are we going?” Scarlett asks, trying to hide her excitement. Ryder grins at her. She can see a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, almost child-like as if he’s having fun with the mystery.“You’ll see,” he winks. Scarlett keeps a straight face but inwardly, she’s very curious. He’s keeping their date spot a secret. In all these years, she has never been out on a proper date. Hector only had to take her to dinner parties as his wife but that was it. There were no polite conversations, no intimacy, nor any kind of feelings attached to those gatherings. Scarlett never realized that she was missing out on a very important aspect in her life. Now that Ryder asked her out on a date, she can’t help but feel giddy. No matter where he takes her, she wants to enjoy the moment. Her time in jail made her appreciate the things she missed out and is now determined to do everything she couldn’t.With Ryder, a voice in her head suddenly adds. She’s flabbergasted at her own thoughts for putting i
Mafia's Marriage Contract The Date (3)
The sounds of the ocean echoes all around the beach while the moon shines like a pearl above. A cool night breeze gently sweeps by, amplifying the whole ambience. The couple are unaware of everything else around them, their minds and hearts entangled in the sweet momentScarlett moans when Ryder’s tongue meshes with hers, causing jolts of electricity crackle through her. He relishes her sweet taste. She feels light and fragile under his touch, making him want to hold her in his arms forever. He leans closer, kissing her gently. His pecks are intoxicatingly pleasurable, his warmth a strange comfort. She kisses him back, her mixed up emotions being expressed through the soft kisses and low moans. He slowly lets go of her and nuzzles his nose against hers. Under the moonlight, he can see her face which has gone beetroot red. She looks cute, her cheeks a little puffed up by shyness and her blue eyes are looking directly at him with many unspoken words.“This is when my wife looks the mos
Mafia's Marriage Contract Date Night (Conclusion)
Scarlett comes out of the toilet to find that Ryder is waiting for her near a pole, having already freshened up. He casually slips his hand into hers and kisses their interlocked fingers. “There’s a small restaurant at the corner,” he says. “They only sell seafood. Will you be alright with it?”“Yeah, let’s go.”They head for an outdoor restaurant which is located a few meters away from the amphitheater. It’s a cozy place with warm lighting and music for the diners. Ryder chooses a spot away from the crowd. A server hands them the food menu.“I’ll take the seafood salad,” Scarlett states. “Lobster Thermidor for me,” Ryder says. “And white wine.”The server notes down the orders and leaves. Ryder is still holding her hand, lightly brushing her fingers with his thumb.“I’m curious about something,” she begins. “You never had a girlfriend?”Ryder doesn’t reply but broods over her question. “I had one,” he finally replies. Scarlett shifts in her seat. He had a girlfriend? Who?“What ha

*Flashback* Scarlett is nervously standing in front of the Hawkins mansion. School has just ended and Hector Hawkins invited her to his mansion so that they can work on their project together. She’s slightly blushing as she rings the doorbell. An elderly maid opens the door. “Yes, how may I help you my dear?” She asks kindly. “I’m Scarlett D’arcy,” Scarlett replies. “I am-” “Oh yes!” The old maid exclaims. “Master Hector spoke of you. Come on in!” Scarlett smiles at the woman and enters the mansion. “I’m Miranda,” the maid introduces herself. “The senior maid here. I’m so glad you’re here, my dear. Master Hector rarely has any friends come over. He’s outside now. Would you like to wait in the living room?” “Sure!” Scarlett sits in the living room, feeling happy. She has had a crush on Hector for the past two years. They’ve been classmates since they were ten and Scarlett can’t help liking him. He’s got a cool aura and is good at almost everything. From studies to sports, Hect

Scarlett is staring out of the window, thinking about the picture she received. She’s debating whether to ask Ryder or not but her faith is severely shaken. After her experience with Elle, there’s no way she can trust anyone even remotely connected to her stepsister. But Ryder helped you in jail, she reasons with herself. He trained you and even provided you with a home.It can be a trap too, another voice inside her says. He might lie about the photo and tell you that he has nothing to do with Elle.

What will she do?Her mind is swirling with many questions but no answers. “I’m fine,” she manages to say.Ryder frowns at her. Scarlett has been absent minded since morning and he’s worried now.
