MAFIA'S BRIDE (Mafia Bride)

Chapter 23: The Slave of Love

Love Slave

The sound of dor in the backyard of Dominic Castle fills this very bright morning. There Meryn still looks enterprising practice shooting by spending dozens of bullet stocks in the suitcase. Some of the shots were on target, but some didn't hit the board.

Orlando who this morning trained Meryn to shoot, seemed to be silently observing Meryn's body. The woman's body is very sexy. Makes Orlando unable to look away for a second. Yeah, that's right. At least until the phone rings. The man immediately grabbed the phone in his shirt pocket. Business phone.

“Halo, what's up?” sahut Orlando immediately the phone is connected.

[Boss, the casino is again terrorized by Javer's forces. Visitors are declining drastically due to fear.] Reported a casino manager who was in Milan.

Orlando took a deep breath. What a phone call to destroy the morning.

“Good. Later today call me again.”

The call was immediately closed. At the same time, Paulo came after preparing his needs for his departure this morning.

“Javer's men are back. You handle the casino first, other matters ignore first.” Orlando told Paulo that he was flying to Milan to run another business.

Paulo nodded his head.

“Good, Boss.”

“Use the plane only to arrive faster. The situation in Milan is quite precarious,” continued Orlando ruled.

“You are not coming with me?” ask Paulo.

Orlando shook his head. He looked towards Meryn.

“I should be here accompanying him. So you're the one who left. Do your job well as always.” Orlando answered.

“You still intend to continue the marriage next month?” paul asked with a mysterious expression. From the beginning he had defied Orlando's obsession with Meryn which has brought so much trouble from personal to business. Moreover, Paulo also predicts in the future Meryn will do more chaos.

“Nobody can challenge me about this, Paulo. You know the reason more than anyone,” replied Orlando firmly.

Paulo was resigned to the stubborn attitude of his big boss. He is only an advisor, not a final decision maker. As an advisor he had already done everything he could to prevent Orlando from further engaging with Meryn, the woman who looked dangerous. But if Orlando doesn't want to hear it, then the task is done.

Nodding his head, Paulo muttered softly, “I just hope you don't have the same fate as Mr. San Dominic and also De Luca.”

Then the man left with his heavy-looking black suitcase. Walk out of the backyard. Heading to the front gate to get into the pickup car that has been waiting for him. The car will take Paulo to the airstrip on San Dominic Island.

After Paulo's departure, Meryn releases glasses and silencers in her ears. He put his gun back on the table because of the bullets he had spent practicing. The woman walked up to Orlando who was staring at Paulo's departure with a flat face and seemed anxious.

“Paulo where to go?” meryn asked in front of Orlando.

“Milan.”

“You're not coming?” meryn asked.

“Ndon't need. He can do a job both with and without me.” Orlando answered lightly while returning his gaze to Meryn.

“You look restless,” said Meryn looking at Orlando's eyeballs vibrating slowly. Also his face looks strange.

The man remained silent for a while. He seemed to be thinking hard about saying something to Meryn.

“What's up?” Meryn kept pressing. It was not usually that the man looked this golden. Orlando who always looked tough and cold expression was never seen this restless.

Slowly, Orlando grabbed Meryn's right hand. Kiss that soft hand, then hide it in the deck of his two palms.

“I want to tell a story.” Orlando muttered softly.

“Tell me. I'll listen to.”

“But not here.”

“Since when is there a car here?” meryn asked astonished to see a luxury car on a remote island like this.

“Since the airstrip is reopened, I need a car for transportation.” Orlando said as he opened the door in the passenger seat, to Meryn. Orlando got in his car, in the steering wheel.

“This is your car?” ask Meryn.

“Ya.”

“Continue? Where do I go?” the Meryn protests.

After starting the car engine, Orlando turned his head towards Meryn. Looking at the expectant woman's face.

“You want to too?” ask Orlando.

“Clear, dong! I don't know when I lived on this island. If there's a car at least I won't be bored in the castle. I can use a car to take a walk.” Meryn explained.

Also true. Orlando nodded his head. He never thought how bored Meryn was on this remote island. Although all the facilities are in the castle, still the woman will feel bored if she does not have a lot of activities.

“Okey. I'll have Paulo bring the car here.”

Orlando's car drove away from the castle. Passing through a gate guarded by two armed men.

This was the second time Meryn had gone outside the gate. And, the scenery he saw remained just as amazing. The beach on this artificial island looks so charming and exotic. Meryn felt unable to miss this lovable sight. He also lowered his car window. Seeing the expanse of the ocean that stretches full of freshness. Meryn's face was blown away by the cool sea breeze. His hair was fluttering like a flag. Orlando drove his car pretty fast.

On the other seat, Orlando glanced towards Meryn who was smiling brightly looking at the beautiful sea scene. The woman can smile too. As long as he was taken to this island, it felt like Orlando had never seen Meryn smile. This means that this is the first smile that Meryn puts on after the incident on her wedding day, and all the tragic stories that follow after her, from the truth about Henry, to the tragedy of the kidnapping.

Meryn who smiled happily made Orlando also feel the freshness. He could not help but have his heart blossomed to see the woman smiling. All Orlando had seen was more destruction, anger, and anger. The man was happy to see Meryn smiling, and feeling guilty.

“Where are we going?!” chirps Meryn.

“To a beautiful place. You will like.” Orlando answered for sure while continuing to drive the car.

“Oh yes!” Meryn smiled blooming as she shouted it. Then turn his face back to see the panorama of the ocean that is so beautiful.

Ten minutes later, they reached where Orlando was headed. It is a heart-shaped beach that is about five kilometers from the castle. Is a heart-shaped artificial headland that Orlando's father named ‘Cape of Love” because of its heart-like shape.

Meryn got out of the car and stared at the heart-shaped headland. He was fascinated and immediately ran towards the headland without caring about Orlando who just got down from the car.

“Wah, so wonderfull.” Meryn mutters.

“You've never seen this cape? While riding a helicopter, you can see from above.” From behind Orlando's voice replied. Seeing Meryn who looked happy like that made him feel his happiness. Happiness is a very rare taste for an Orlando. He was almost never happy, from the moment he was born to this day. He was not sure what kind of happy feeling it was.

“I must have missed that!” cetus Meryn's.

On the golden sands of the cape, Orlando sat his body facing the sea. Meryn, who saw that, sat down next to Orlando. He recalled, a moment ago Orlando said he wanted to tell me something.

“So what do you want to tell me?” meryn asked as she looked at Orlando's face. Look at his eyes that look beautiful.

“This island was designed by my father on the basis of his affection for the woman who gave birth to me.” Orlando started to tell me.

Meryn was just listening. Even though his mind felt an oddity when Orlando replaced the word ‘ibu’ with the term ‘women who gave birth to me’. Orlando doesn't consider his mother to be his mother.

Orlando glanced at Meryn's face. “I have one thing in common with my father.”

“What is it?” meryn asked.

“We are both love slaves.”
