Wife of Mafia (English version)

Chapter 17. Pinky Promise

"Rosie, let's hurry," Charles said and I nodded.

I'm still thinking about yesterday, why Jackson didn't answer my question and just ran away. What exactly is he hiding, it just makes me curious.

"Rosie," Charles reminded me.

I just chuckled and got ready. I immediately took a shower and after that I found a satin dress lying on the bed.

I wore the dress, the long dress even touched the floor. The maroon color is very pretty. But I regretted that the slit of her dress reached above the knee exposing my long legs. I look at myself in the mirror, it fits me perfectly.

Quickly, I polished my face with make-up and blood red lipstick to match my dress. I took my white pouch, matching my high hills.

After feeling fit, I immediately followed Charles downstairs. I slowly descended the stairs because my dress was too long. Below everyone is ready.

I went back down the stairs until someone complimented me. "You're so beautiful, Rosie," Adam complimented, and made everyone's eyes fall on me.

They said 'wow', 'so beautiful', 'angel', I couldn't help but blush at that.

Until I was on the ground floor, I looked for Charles with my eyes and couldn't find him.

Daniel approached me. "You're so beautiful, Rosie. That dress is perfect for you," she complimented.

I bend my knees and put one hand on my back and my other hand outstretched. "Thank you!" I replied like a princess.

He followed my movements. "You're welcome."

We both laughed at our antics. Danial is very handsome with a suit that makes his body sturdy plus his shiny, cliché hair looks tempting.

"You're so handsome today, Danial," I complimented and he smiled.

"Does that mean I wasn't handsome before?" he asked with an artificial frown on his face.

"Of course you're always handsome," I replied with a big smile.

"Certainly!" he replied confidently and I laughed.

I'm still looking for Charles but still can't find him.

"You're looking for Charles?" asked Danial and I nodded shyly.

Danial pointed to one corner of this room. "Lastly, I saw him there, look for it."

"Thanks Danial," I said and went to find Charles.

There I saw Charles' broad back, I immediately went to him. However, my path was stopped when Charles spoke to someone.

"Your dress is so revealing Samantha, I don't like that," Charles grumbled.

"Come on Charl, this isn't very revealing," Samantha replied sulkily.

Spoiled, Samantha clung to Charles' arms, "Is that all right?" he persuaded.

Charles finally nodded in agreement. "Just this once, okay!" Charles warned and Samantha was getting excited.

"love you," Samantha said quietly and Charles replied, "Too."

I smiled wryly. This hurts more than I thought. I chose to avoid rather than disrupt the happy atmosphere of the two loving couples.

I turned and walked away until I bumped into someone. Jackson. He smiled cheerfully at me and I turned my head away. I passed him and away, toward the stairs.

Stay here, and let myself calm down. How could Charles be such a jerk?!

"Tch! Damn it!" I swear it just came out.

"Why?" someone asked.

I looked at the owner of the voice. Then, nodded slowly.

"Come on Rosie, I promised, no, I wouldn't tell anyone your secret, pinky promise," he remembered me and I finally melted.

"Charles, he's alone with Samantha and so romantic. Until I feel they are good actresses," I grumbled.

Jackson chuckled. "Then let's forget about them and have some fun too," said Jackson.

"Having fun?" I asked.

"Yeah, we're having Gardolf's banquet and there he has a big house and has a beautiful maze at night, you'll love it," Jackson whispered to me.

I immediately nodded enthusiastically. "I want!" I answered and he stroked the top of my head.

"Everyone ready?!" Adam asked out loud and they replied 'yes'.

Jackson called me. "I'll go first, looks like Charles is looking for you, then we'll meet at the back of Gadolf's garden, okay?"

"Okay," I said and he quickly left.

Exactly what Jackson said, because Charles is now looking for me and we look at each other. He turned to me with a smile.

"You're so beautiful in this dress, Rosie," he complimented but that wasn't what I wanted to hear. I want him to scold me for wearing this revealing dress, just as he scolded Samantha.

"Thank you," I replied flatly.

Charles stretched his arms out to me, gesturing for me to put his arm around him. The arm he had let Samantha cling to.

I don't know why, I'm so emotional. It is not good.

We entered the long limousine car usually used by the president but I wonder, could they be richer than the president because this limousine is not one but five.

Charles let me in the car first, then he did. I was surprised we came face to face with Danial and Samantha. Just made my mood worse.

"Hi, Charles!" said Samantha cheerfully.

Charles smiled. "Hi, Samantha," he replied.

I didn't even care and stared blankly out the window. tsk! It's not fun at all even though it's my first time riding a limousine.

It took us 20 minutes to reach our destination. And we got out of the car, Charles helped me down and I looked up at the majestic castle towering in front of me.

We had to climb stairs to reach the entrance, with the red carpet as a guide.

I'm still holding Charles' arms. And many cameras took our pictures. This camera flash really makes me uncomfortable.

Charles seemed sensitive and began to lead me briskly towards the entrance.

One word I can say, luxury. I'm sure the one who decorated this place must have been a genius how he could make this castle shine with gold and crystal chandeliers.

We were greeted by the owner of the show, Mr Gandolf, who turned out to be a young man, unlike my old, fat man.

He shook hands with Charles. Then looked at me, took my hand and kissed it.

"Beautiful wife, Charles," the man praised.

Charles responded with a smile. "I don't want to lose to you who have a beautiful wife," replied Charles and after that came a charming beautiful woman. It turned out that she was Gandolf's wife. Very fit, handsome and beautiful.

"Thank you for attending our event, Charles," the woman said as she shook hands.

And the woman looked at me. "Who is this beautiful woman beside you, Charles?" he asked Charles.

"She's my wife," replied Charles.

"Introduce me Harnes."

"I'm Rosie," I replied and we gave a woman the usual cheek shake.

"Please enjoy the meal," said Harnes to which I nodded.

Charles and I walked back and Charles left me at the dinner table. He wanted to meet the others. While I stare hungry at the dishes on the table.

I took my place and put the chocolate brownies on my plate. I walked to find a seat and ate the brownies alone.

"It's pathetic," someone said sarcastically.

I looked at him it was Samantha. "Trash!" he sneered, then left me to the place where Charles and his friends were laughing.

Samantha could adapt to them because now they were laughing together and Samantha was clinging to Charles' arms.

Ah! This makes my mood worse. I finished my meal quickly and looked for the back garden.

Hesitantly I walked towards the back and found the back garden door. I pulled my dress, because it was so long that it was difficult for me to walk. I kept walking until I penetrated the darkness of the garden which was only decorated with dim garden lights. Until I get to where I'm going.

Beautiful maze.
