Chapter 13

"Stop that."

"But I'm uncomfy." Lia mumbled and pout her lips.

She's currently sitting on Zayn's lap while his parents are infront of them.

"Son." Zendrick cleared his throat getting the attention of his father.

"Don't freaking tell me that your here because of a shitty arrangement for weddings." Zayn grumbled. "Can't you see? This woman here is the one I want."

"I see that. Me and your mother are just fooling around. Don't worry Aliandra also know." Zendrick chuckled when the girl in his son's lap giggled.

"Baby." Zayn called out to Lia. "What did you talked about with them?"

"Well the usual? I mean, they asked for my name and who am I to you." She replied smiling.

"Okay okay, come on now. I have reserve the four of us a table in a 5-stars restaurant to have lunch." Diane said after some calls.

"Seriously what's up with you two?" The mafia  boss ask looking at them with a dead serious eyes.

"Let's talk about that after we have lunch. I'm pretty sure the beautiful lady there is hungry." His mother replied smiling before pulling up Lia from his embrace.

The two men were left behind as the two ladies already walked out of the office.

"I could tell that you're whipped." The son diverted his eyes from the closed door to his father's green eyes.

"So?" Zendrick laughed and pulled up his son from the couch.

Q

"We better go before your mother notice us gone." Later on the hallway had filled with the sound of their laughter.

~~~~~🦋~~~~~

"Yes he is. All he would do everyday was to cling to me if work doesn't call." Diane's heart beat with happiness reminding all of her and husband's moments when they're newly wed couple.

"How was it to get married madam?" Lia asked and look her with sparkling eyes.

"It's heaven honey." She answered with a smile.

She look at his son then back to her soon-to-be daughter-in-law. She caressed her shoulders then her hair.

"Would like to get married then?" Lia smiled then looked at Zayn nodding eagerly.

Zayn on the other hand had his heart booming. He coughed and stood up from his seat. He walked towards his girl.

"Come now we'll go to the court and we'll sign a marriage contract." He seriously said.

"You! What wedding are you giving my daughter?!" His mother stood up and slapped his shoulders. "It's gonna be a grand one."

"Mom....we can't do that....." He responded.

"And why? We have the money, the power." Diane said looking at his son curiously. Why did he go against her decision which is unusual.

"Hon, let them talk about it first." Zendrick stood up and wrapped his arms around his wife's waist.

Diane looked at him with a confused expression. They can't just have a court wedding, she wants to have a grand wedding ceremony for her first born because she know that the other one dont want to settle down soon.

....

"What's the problem?" Lia asked while caressing Zayn's face with genuine worry in her eyes.

"I'm sorry."

"You're sorry for what?"

"I can't give you the wedding my mother was talking about." He look at her and kiss her forehead. "Don't get me wrong love. I'm just worried about your safety."

Lia's heart unknowingly beat faster. She's so touched about his words.

"You love me right?" He pulled her towards his lap.

"Yes." He buried his head in her neck. "Without even asking."

"Then you'll give me what I want?"

"Yes."

"I want to have the wedding your mother suggested." His body stiffen at Lia's word. No, not this card.

"Baby, you're safety is at risk." He seriously said and not even a minute later a warm substance touched his jaw.

He removed his head and to his surprise the girl is crying. Her eyes are red same to her nose, her rosy cheeks are wet from her tears.

"You don't love me." She wriggled out of his embrace and walked to the bedroom of the office but before even reaching it she was stopped.

"Lia, you listen to me. We're not having that———"

He stopped when she look at him dead in the eye. Sniffing slightly, she grabbed her arm in his grip.

"Then you also listen to me." Combing her hair she said. "I'll find another man to give me what I want!"

With that being said, she ran out of the office. While Zayn was enraged. He followed as soon as his out of his thoughts. Damn. He can kill with he aura surrounding him now.

~~~~~🦋~~~~~

Kevin, one of Zayn's subordinate had just came in to the building's lobby. He was on his way to the elevator when a body bumped to him. The person was about to fall down but he immediately catch it.

"T-take m-me a-away p-please." Seeing the familiar face, the latter was startled.

Why is the miss running? Has anyone messed up with her?

"Miss what's the matter?" He checked her to see if there's any bruises.

"T-take me a-away please." She repeated the same word she said earlier.

He escorted her fragile figure to the elevator to get them into basement where his car is parked.

"The boss, does he know you were—"

"Don't tell him." She mumbled softly as she support herself at the handle of the elevator.

Kevin have a bad feeling about this.

As they walked out of the elevator he kept supporting Lia's body. He was about to open the door when out of nowhere the tire of his car was shot.

"Dove pensi di portare il tuo fidanzato?"

(Where are you planning to take my fiancé?)

"Signore, disse la signorina—" The baritone voice made Kevin tense.

(Sir, the miss—)

"Dai una fottuta ragione per non ucciderti dopo averla toccata!" He shouted and pointed to gun up and pulled the trigger.

I'm dead, fucking dead. Ugh figli di puttana.
