Chapter 22

• Lexi’s POV
• Luca ordered a limo today for this trip with my mom, and sisters. This is the first time I’ve ever ridden in one before. Judging by Luna’s face it’s a first for her also. “I’m so glad the boss allowed me to come with you today.” Luna cheerfully says. “Not only that but he gave his permission for me to buy you a dress today, to wear to our wedding.” I squealed out. “Wow really, I’ve never heard of him being so lenient to any of his servers before. Maybe he does really care about you.” She murmured more to herself than to me. “Don’t commence reading more into something that isn’t there. He told me out of his own lips, that I wouldn’t be here if we weren’t being pressured. What I would like to know is why didn’t he just pick one of the single women available in the family. It doesn’t make any sense. I’m just an outsider who knows about how to be a wife of a mafia don.” I say with all the confidence I can muster, but she could still hear the hurt in my voice. The rest of the car was silent. Other than me calling my sister telling her we were about there.
• Pulling up at the hotel the driver parks right in front of the door. He gets out and opens my door. I go to get out only to be stopped by a hand. I look to the side and it’s one of the men in my security detail. “You are not allowed out of the car anywhere expect at the boutique. I’ll go and retrieve your family. Then my door is shut faster than it was when the driver opened it. “I knew this was too good to be true. I should’ve known that he would have to control everything even when he isn’t around. I don’t even care about the fact that he controls everything I do, I should be grateful that he even allowed my family to come to the wedding. Also, you’re here with me, so if I look at the bright side, things aren’t really all that bad.” I say while smiling trying to convince myself. Luna just nods while giving me a smile that doesn’t reach her ears.
