NOAH
"The evening was beautiful." Mirella murmurs softly and looks at the flower meadow.
yes he was I've never done that. Dates have always been a no go for me. I don't usually give a damn about that, but when it comes to Mirella, I break a lot of my rules. I broke rule number one with ease.
Under no circumstances fall in love with anyone !
And now I'm standing with her in a rose garden and I can't take my eyes off her face. I didn't want any of that. Falling in love with her was a big mistake. I should have sent her away on day one, but I didn't.
She sighs and looks up at me, tilting her head. "What do you have ? You haven't spoken to me properly in hours. Is something right..."
"It's all right. I just want to tell you something, Mirella. I-I love..."
"Boss!" someone suddenly shouts loudly, interrupting me.
FUCK! Why does someone always have to do something when I want to tell Mirella something important?
"We have a problem. A damn big one!" Demon yells in panic and looks at Mirella.
"Your dad knows," he murmurs uncertainly. My eyes widen.
WHAT ?
How did he find out?
"Jackson." Mirella hisses angrily next to me, clenching her hands into fists.
"I'll personally kill this useless idiot. He will wish he was never born to..."
"Now hold on." I interrupt her and grab her hand.
"I'll take care of it. How hard can it be to make Jackson look stupid?" I ask her seriously, pulling her with me.
I'll sort it out. Her dad can't forbid her anything anymore.
20 MINUTES LATER... NOAH :
“Bring her into the room through the back door and make sure she stays there. I'll work this out with your dad." I command Demon, reaching for my cigarettes to light one.
"What are you going to do?" she asks uncertainly.
"I'm scaring your father... I'm not mentioning anything to do with us. For the next few minutes we're nothing more than people who have crossed paths okay? I tell him you wanted to make a deal but I didn't take it. Go with Demon now. He will take care of you." I answer and walk into the hall with the cigarette in my mouth.
"I WANT TO KNOW WHERE MY DAUGHTER IS!" he yells at my men.
So one thing has to be said. When it comes to his daughter, he doesn't know anything like fear.
"What are you yelling about, damn it? Your daughter is not here." I say annoyed and snap once. One of my employees immediately runs to me and takes off my coat.
"My son told me what was going on here. So where's my..."
"Where's my money?" I interrupt him and sit down.
"Where's your money? What do you mean ? It looks like my daughter is the money now. If you think I'll let you destroy my daughter, then you've cut yourself, Lee. Take everything from me, but leave my kids out of this. Mirella deserves better. She deserves someone to protect her, not someone to put her in danger. Am I supposed to come here tomorrow and find my dead daughter here just because she's hooked up with someone like you? For once, have a heart and don't be so selfish!" he yells angrily.
I swallow and look at him and lick my lip.
Fuck he's right.
"I'm not selfish. Your daughter loves me."
"My daughter doesn't love you and even if she does... she needs someone to be that for her. Someone who is pure in heart. Is that you?" he asks quietly.
No, that's not me.
"I want to see my daughter."
"Bring her here." I murmur under my breath, reaching for a glass and filling it with whiskey.
He's really right. i'm so selfish Mirella is in danger here.
"Do you want to drink something?" I ask him and drank the liquid in one gulp.
"I want my daughter." he hisses angrily and looks behind me.
"Mirella, thank God. Everything's fine with you. Did he do something to you?"
what done to her ?
I chuckle and shake my head slightly. She has to go with him. That's the only right thing.
"Of course not. Why do you always have to assume the worst?"
"Because I'm the man you're with, Siciliano." I whisper softly, leaning back.
"You're going with your father." I say to her without looking at her.
"Listen. Pack up the most important things and let's go," her dad says quietly.
"Noah, what's that about?" she asks confused and stands in front of me.
"Just do as I tell you and go the fuck with your dad with Mirella." I hiss softly, looking up.
Swallowing, I look into her eyes and bite the inside of my cheeks.
Shit, as soon as I look at her my eyes start to burn. I don't want to cry in front of my gang.
"But you said..."
"For me, plan number one would have been nice, but this isn't about me. It's about your safety. So we both take plan number two. Drive home Mirella. Go to your family..." I whisper, grabbing her hand.
i feel like shit
"You did it." I say with a smile and stand up. I gently stroke her cheek.
"You broke Noah Lee's heart." I breathe, kissing her cheek before turning and walking to my room.
"Boss..." mumbles one of my members worriedly and grabs my arm.
"It's okay Grace. I'm fine... like always."
I must be fine. I have a mafia to run. I can't let this ruin my career. Mirella... can't be in my life. She is not good for me. It's not good for business.
Bullshit... it's never been so good with her. She took care of some paperwork that would have kept me busy for weeks. She would have been the perfect woman and now she's gone and that's just because I am who I am.
Annoyed, I slam my room door and kick my shoes in the corner.
"FUCK!!" I yell angrily and throw the next best thing around.
"WHY CAN'T YOU GIVE ME A WHAT FUCKING BASTARD?!" I scream, crying, looking at the ceiling.
“WHY HAVE YOU TREAT ME THIS SINCE MY CHILDHOOD? WHAT DID I DO WRONG?" I yell in desperation, screaming out all the frustration that has accumulated over the years.
"I HAVE ENOUGH. I'M TIRED OF BEING UNHAPPY."
I really thought it would get better. I thought everything would be perfect now. I have a wife, money, a successful company. I could have started a family but something is always and always my ideas of the perfect life get thrown in the dustbin like they're worthless.
I love her. Fuck I love her so much. How can it be that I fell in love with someone so much?
I'm Noah Lee. I'm not falling in love and now Mirella is here and throwing me off the hook... but that's okay... She can throw me off... as many times as she wants, but she's supposed to be here, with me .
Shit.
"Concentrate, you idiot. The ball is in a few weeks. Pull yourself together. I still have so much to do. I can't let it get me down now."
