Wife of Mafia (English version)

Chapter 10. I will not melt

Charles pulled my hand forcefully. "No! I want to be with David! Let go!" my crush.

David looks unable to hold me because suddenly behind him there are two people dressed in black who are now locking their hands behind their backs.

I tried to let go of Charles's grip that was crawling on me. I pulled my hand with all my might but didn't let go, I tried to run towards David but instead I was jerked back because my hand was pulled back by Charles.

I wriggled like a devil. "Let go Damn, I want my brother, let go! hiks...." Tears fell as the words came out of my mouth.

They started to take David, I didn't care that my hand was still in his grip. I certainly tried to reach David with all my might even though David was far from me.

"Let me go, motherfucker!" curse.

"Bring him!" said Charles which made me numb.

I had only met David for a few minutes and now he was starting to separate me again. I tried more and more to break free, but it was a futile result because now David had been taken by the two people to get out of this mansion.

All eyes were on us and I still didn't care at all all I wanted right now was to be in David's arms.

Charles released his grip on his hand, and at that moment I collapsed to the floor as my sight could no longer see David. I sobbed, ignoring my faded make-up and my dirty dress.

"hiks...hiks...!"

Charles pulled me back to my feet but my legs felt so weak I couldn't even stand up. Charles pretty much forced me to my feet by tugging at my arm.

"Stop Charles! hiks... Stop it!" I pushed away his hand that wanted to reach mine.

I looked around trying to get help from the guests attending this damn wedding, but none of them would look at me or help me. They just give off a look of pity with a downcast look and I hate that.

Charles pulled me back but this time before I could brush him off he was already carrying me.

No more resistance coming out of me. I'm completely tired of all this and my head is pounding so hard, I feel like hitting my head against the wall.

Charles led me to the room. A different room is not the room I'm used to. This room has been designed in such a way as to resemble a bridal room with hundreds of rose petals scattered on the bed.

He laid me down on the bed after that pulled the blanket and threw the hundreds of rose petals on the floor making it scattered.

"Get some rest, I'll be right back," he said as he covered me with the blanket and I didn't respond at all.

I turned my back to him and I heard the sound of footsteps walking away with the sound of the door being locked.

That damn man won't let me out of this mansion. Oh David, what will happen to you? Are these two men going to do bad things to you?

I wiped away the remaining tears while wondering if it was true what David said that he would free me and we would get back together whereas it would be quite impossible if I was still with this man.

My eyes are heavy, maybe because of crying earlier. I felt so tired and my head was throbbing again. I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep soon.

I closed my eyes hoping when they opened I'd only dream about this wedding or meeting Charles, because this was a nightmare.

•••

"Rosie, come on up."

"Rosie."

I squirm uncomfortably. I really want to sleep, can't I just wake up later?

"Rosie, you have to eat."

"I'm not hungry yet," I mumbled.

I was still comfortably asleep until someone lifted me from the bed making me recover from my slumber. Who else but Charles, the psychopath!

"Let go!" I hissed, he instead took me out of the room.

He didn't really care what I said. This is what gets in the way in the morning. At least let me live my sleep normally.

"I said let go!" I struggled and just like before, he ignored me.

We descended the stairs to the lower floor.

"Let go of me, Damn it!" I shouted and he stopped for a second and then glared at me.

"Are you sure you want me to throw you out of here?" he said.

I gulped while staring at this long staircase, if I rolled down it would be very painful, my body could be crushed.

I looked up at him and shook my head quickly.

He smirked then brought his face closer to mine. "Then, don't be noisy. My dear wife," he said with emphasis at the end of his sentence.

I nodded fearfully after that he smiled and continued his way down again. I can only surrender while wrapping my arms around his neck to be alert, who knows he will really knock me down.

We have arrived at the last step last, but Charles still hasn't come down to me. He led me to the dining room. A lot is served there and my favorite food, sausage.

Charles dropped me right in front of the dining table. Then pulled out a chair for me to sit on. Ooh how romantic... Tch! I won't give up!

He sat in front of me. Took some sausages and an egg on the side, then put them on my plate. After that he took it for himself.

"I know you like the sausage, eat it," he said making me wince.

"How do you know?" I'm curious.

He smiled at me. "What I don't know about my wife," he replied, making me roll my eyes.

I slowly ate my sausage and chose to drink orange juice instead of responding to Charles who was now raving about something I didn't understand.

"So don't ever leave the house without my knowledge, you understand?" It's the ending that confused me.

"Why?" I answered plainly.

Charles looked at me intensely, "Did you hear what I said earlier?"

I shrugged my shoulders "What should I hear from a stranger like you? Because my mother said never approach or respond to strangers," I replied sarcastically.

Charles drank his orange juice and then put the glass down with a loud bang until it made a startling sound. He looked at me angrily.

"That means your mother never taught you which one is foreign and which one has become your husband," he replied sarcastically and I didn't like that, was he reproaching my mother?

"Hey! What do you mean?!" I snapped.

I immediately stood up. I don't know why I hate him even more. "Of course my mother never taught me that, because she died before I met a psychopath like you!" After that I ran to the back garden.

I wiped the tears that suddenly escaped from my eyes. The muffled sobs made my throat hurt. I walked towards the big shady tree. Luckily this back garden was as large as a field, allowing me to cry loudly without being heard from the mansion.

I sat and leaned against the tree and cried with my face between my knees.

"Sob!" I can't hold back this cry anymore.

"Sob... huh... sob... uhh... sob!"

I hit my chest because it was so tight in there. It felt like something was up and it wasn't fun at all, I wanted to end this painful feeling.

I suddenly felt myself being hugged. I looked up to see and all I saw was Charles hugging me with his first look of guilt.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that," he says and I sob even more.

"Sob... uhh... sob!"

He hugged me tighter and even let his clothes wet with my crying.

"Don't cry anymore, I'm sorry," he said again and I don't know what demon possessed me, I hugged him back and even cried on his shoulder. At least this time he has calmed my heart.
