Violet owns v's designs and is the heir of Evans security. When her father goes through a lawsuit that crumples his company he has to do whatever it takes to make sure it stays afloat even if that means selling his daughter to the mafias son.
Walking out of the hotel I saw the black suv sitting there and my stomach dropped. I already knew who it was and I was not looking forward to speaking to him. I continued my 4 block walk to office while the suv followed behind me. 10 minutes later I was about to open the office door when I heard the vehicle peal away. Letting a breath I didn't know I was holding out, I walked into the office.
I got in the elevator and pulled my phone out to see a text from my father telling me the agreement has been made and I were to marry Alexander in 4 weeks. My father owned the top security company in the nation to secure the funds we need to stay in business I am to be married to the most eligible mafia member. Lucky me.
I got to my office and slammed the door a minute later Jena walked in
"Good morning V, I have your coffee and Alexander has called twice to speak to you" she said.
"Of course he did, he followed me from the hotel this morning. Since our dads have been working on this agreement he has been stalking me for week"
"Maybe he's just worried if people find out that you are connected they will come after you"
I thought about what she said. "If he calls again will you please transfer it to me"
"Yes ma'am"
She went back to her desk and I sat and mine and thought about what my father has just brought into our lives. We will now constantly be in danger and could be the backlash of the mafias problems.
I got to work planning a high profiles living room design for the next few hours when I got a call from Jena. "He's on the other line, sending him over now"
I watch the phone ring and contemplated answering it and in the end I did.
"Hello this is Violet"
"Violet, this is Alexander. What made you decide to answer my calls finally?" He asked
" I figured it was time to accept the inevitable"
"Hmmm...good. I will pick you up from your office at 3 be ready" then he hung up.
Who does he think he is? He can't speak to me like that, there's no way I'm going anywhere with him. I checked the time and saw it
2:30 so I packed my things and told Jena I would be working remote for the rest of the afternoon and that I would call her later. I got to the elevator and immediately order an Uber to take me home. As soon as I walked outside he was standing there smoking a cigarette.
"I told you 3 not 2:30 miss Evans"
"Well I realized I have somewhere else to be" as I finished my sentence my car pulled up. I got in and took a deep breathe.
20 minutes later we pulled up to the hotel I have been staying in while my house is being renovated. As I was telling my driver thank you my door opened, I saw Alexander and rolled my eyes.
"I'm going to punish you for rolling your eyes at me"
I scoffed "yeah okay"
He whispered in my ear "I'm serious miss Evans"
"What are you even doing here? I told you I have other things I need to handle"
"Well you told me you had somewhere else to be so I figured I would go with you as you agreed to having me pick you up at 3 so I will wait for you til then"
As I walked into the building I asked the doorman to let me know if anyone asked to come to my room. He nodded
Finally I was alone so I drew a bath and poured a glass of wine not long after getting in the bath my door flung open. My mouth dropped I slipped down into the bubble bath as far as I could as Alexander walked around the corner and said
"Your late princess"
"I'm not late, I told you I had other things to do. I can not meet with you today"
"You do look very busy, how about we just talk here" he said while unbuttoning his shirt
I panicked and grabbed a towel to get out.
"Sit" Alexander said in a stern voice.
I don't know why I listened but I stayed in the bath and watched as he continued to take his shirt off.
He walked towards the tub and grabbed the wash cloth from me. I immediately stiffened. He pushed me forward and started cleaning my back.
"We are to be wed in 4 weeks, I think we need to get to know each other before then. I will take you and pick you up from work every day, we will go to dinner tonight and I have hired you two bodyguards that will sit outside your door and go where ever you go"
"Why" I ask
"I'm sure you are well aware of the business I am in which means you are a target as long as you are with me."
I closed my eyes and wondered how I ended up in this situation and it came down to my father. He was willing to sell me to the mafia so that he could ensure his company stays afloat.
I grabbed the cloth, told Alexander thank you and asked for some privacy so I could get out and get ready to go to dinner with him.
Alexander said he would wait in the room for me but I wished he would just leave. I am not looking forward to getting to know my future husband and accepting that we will be getting married in four weeks. I am not ready to be a wife especially the wife of a mafia leader and I needed time to process everything instead I was being thrown head first into an unwanted relationship with someone who was not good for me.
