MAFIA'S BRIDE (Mafia Bride)
Chapter 20: The Weakness of the Mafia
Mafia Weakness
“What are you guys doing?”
Orlando's voice rang out between Meryn's conversation with Paulo. The two humans spontaneously turned their heads towards the arrival of Orlando who was staring at them suspiciously.
Meryn automatically stepped away from Paulo, approaching the arrival of Orlando. The woman squinted her eyes at the man.
“You shouldn't be here with blood still pouring like that,” Orlando said as he glanced at the back of Meryn's hand that was still bleeding. The former infusion hose entry made Meryn look miserable.
“I shouldn't be on this island,” Meryn said.
“You should be here, on the island San Dominic built, as my bride.” Orlando insists. The man took off his thick jacket made from sheep's fur. Then put the warm jacket on Meryn's body that still looks weak.
On the other hand Meryn just flinched to find this warm treatment of Orlando. Over fifteen minutes he stood on the roof with Paulo and the man was completely insensitive to see Meryn's body shivering. While Orlando saw Meryn for no more than a minute and immediately gave her a warm jacket. Meryn knew that Orlando was indeed a gentleman, and to her it was dangerous. Because, a man's gentle attitude can make Meryn's heart melt, like how Henry meluhn it a year ago.
“Back to room. Nurse will reattach infusion for you,” said Orlando reigning.
“I don't need infusion.”
“Do not dodge. You need an infusion.” Orlando confirmed the way he spoke. He stared fixedly at Meryn's eyes, showing her dominance.
Orlando's hand was lifted into Meryn's face. He stroked the woman's cheek gently. “Your face is very cold,” the sigh slowly. Orlando gently tidied the strands of Meryn's hair that were blown by the cold wind from the direction of the sea. “Come in first, I'll catch up.”
Without realizing Meryn's face was red. Why would Orlando follow her to the room? Don't-don't ...?
Before Meryn's imagination grew wild, the woman immediately turned her face away. He left the two men on the roof of a cold building.
After Meryn's trip, Orlando walked up to Paulo who was still cool to enjoy his night cigarette while looking at the dark and empty ocean.
“What did Meryn ask you?” orlando asked without turning his eyes away from the vast free ocean before him.
“On the death of Luca.”
“Continue? What are you answering?” Orlando.
“I answered honestly. That Luca was killed by John Patrizia.”
“Terus?”
“He didn't ask again.” Paulo answered for sure.
Orlando's head nodded.
“She is typical of women who are unyielding and stubborn. I'm pretty sure he'll keep digging and figuring out about his real father's death. Until she finds out the truth about Luca's death, Meryn will have to marry me.” Orlando spoke, like a warning.
“You sure you want to marry her, Boss?” paulo asked reassuringly.
Orlando looked. He looked at Paulo seriously.
“I've come this far to get it. I also lost a lot of things to get it. I have to get Meryn no matter what happens,” Orlando said.
“If you manage to marry Mrs Meryn, but she does not love you, are you sure you will be happy? You know, everything that is based on coercion will not produce good results,” said Paulo.
“Happy or not, I just want to make Meryn mine completely. Whatever the risk.”
Orlando fell silent. His eyes seemed to tremble for a moment before taking his eyes off Paulo.
Things became quiet afterwards. Orlando was silent without a word ringing Paulo's warning. Seeing Meryn who even tonight still wanted to escape from the castle, there was no way the woman would be happy if she married Orlando. Not likely.
Paulo dropped his cigarette which stayed a inch. Then stepped on the cigarette to extinguish the fire. Then he turned off the classical music that had been playing from the device.
“Obsession often makes someone fall. I just don't want the Big Boss to have the nipples of an Old Boss, and also De Luca. They both died from his obsession with a woman. I don't want similar things to happen to you, Boss.” Paulo said, then he left Orlando alone on the roof.
Being alone on the castle roof made Orlando reflect a lot. Love is the biggest weakness of a mafia boss. San Dominic, as well as De Luca, are both equally devastated by his obsession with a woman. And that obsession is now on the decline in Orlando. Orlando loves Meryn, is obsessed with her.
Involving women in the affairs of a mafia is a big deal. Orlando is in on the matter. Not to mention, his cruel heart as a mafia man became so soft in the presence of a woman he loved. It was his biggest weakness all along. A weakness he probably inherited from his father, San Dominic, who was also obsessed with a woman.
Ten minutes later Orlando decided to leave the roof after a moment of contemplation. Actually, it's a free thing. Because no matter how long he pondered, he still could not get rid of his obsession with Meryn. He would not be able to let go of the woman who had filled so much emptiness in his soul. The little girl who had always appeared in his dreams was now an adult, and was right before his eyes. How could Orlando possibly release Meryn just out of fear of destruction?
In front of her eyes, Meryn was lying on a bed. Meryn's blood vessels were re-engaged by an intravenous fluid that had just been installed by a nurse. When Orlando arrived, the nurse had just injected Meryn with some medicine through the infusion tube.
Seeing Orlando's arrival, the nurse immediately finished her work and walked out of Meryn's bedroom. Orlando locked the door to Meryn's room from inside. Staring at Meryn who was staring at her arrival without a word.
“Why did you get in here?” meryn asked after Orlando got closer to her bed.
“So I told you, I'll accompany you tonight.” Orlando removed the accessories attached to his body. Remove watches, devices, and earphones. Put those accessories on Meryn's nightstand. Then came up to the top of Meryn's bed, which immediately made Meryn nervous. Meryn spontaneously raised her blanket up to the neck.
“Why are you so shy? Can't remember what we were doing this afternoon?” orlando asked with a small chuckle looking at Meryn whose face blushed. That woman is very strange, inner Orlando. But this afternoon they had done something that made Meryn sigh nonstop. Why was he acting as if he had not been touched by Orlando? Without realizing it, his attitude made Orlando more passionate.
“I-that's ta-tadi!” chirps Meryn stammering. He hid his chin behind a blanket as Orlando crawled up close to his body. Spontaneously, Meryn's met face was gawking. “So my consciousness has not fully returned. My brain is not really sane,” he added nervously.
Orlando smiled anxiously at Meryn's reddened face. Moreover, his nervous gurgle.
“What after org*sme your consciousness is back intact?” ask Orlando jahil. He lay in line with Meryn's body. Her body was right above Meryn's body, looking at Meryn's increasingly nervous face.
“Or-orga*sme? When's? Me?” cetus Meryn's.
“Yes. You were ... right?” urge Orlando.
“How can a man know a woman reaches ****** or not?!”
Orlando chuckles. The blushing Meryn made her savage side almost loose.
“I saw you ... squirt,” whispered Orlando. Then he lowered his face into Meryn's ear and continued whispering. “In my mouth.”
Imagine how sad Meryn is right now! How could the man be so honest in front of Meryn? Even if Meryn was right to feel 'that', why did she have to be so honest? You are insensitive!
Infuriated, Meryn pulled out her fist from under the blanket and directly punched Orlando's stomach. Orlando immediately fell down next to him.
“I thought you were a gentleman! Turns out you like to humiliate a woman,” wrote Meryn.
Orlando frowned as he approached Meryn's body again. He saw Meryn's face that was now pouting.
“Why do you think that's embarrassing? I can even proudly say you made me feel the terrible! Why don't you admit that I made me feel the same way?” the Orlando protest saw Meryn's perplexing attitude like this.
Meryn speechless. The woman seemed to think long. Then he looked at the face of Orlando who was right in front of his face.
“I want you to kiss my lips,” said Meryn, reigning.
