Marriage Deal
“My father went crazy with a woman to do whatever she wanted, even build a private island for her. And the woman betrayed in the end, which made my father so angry that he was blinded by everything.”
Apparently that's what Orlando wanted to tell you until he brought Meryn to this cape. His face looked sad, his eyes were soft. But something felt strange.
“Why did you tell me this?” meryn asked curiously.
“No special reason. I just want you to know.”
Meryn was still not satisfied hearing that answer. There must be a reason Orlando told her the story of her father. For now, Meryn will still be following the flow. He will pretend not to care.
“How did your father die?” Meryn continued to ask.
“Blown plane.”
“Who ... who does it?”
“Yeah of your lift.”
The woman was instantly silent. If it's true that his father and Orlando's father were killed by John Patrizia, then they have the same enemy, the same grudge.
“I heard my father was also killed by my adoptive father.” Meryn then turned her head. “Means we have the same enemy?”
“Not anymore. I killed your adoptive father,” Orlando said.
Meryn smiled obliquely. He brought his face closer to Orlando's. Caressing that face while talking, “But all the treasures of Patrizia are still there. We can take it all until we're not left.
Orlando smiled in a slant. “So that's what you planned when you returned to Milan? Seize all your foster father's inheritance?”
“Toh it's all mine. I'm John Patrizia's only child, I should've gotten it all. And if it's true that my father Luca was murdered by John Patrizia, it's very likely that my father's estate was taken from the Patrizian family. All the wealth of that man should be mine. Yes right?” meryn.
Both eyes Orlando squeaked. “Your nature is very similar to Luca. Equally greedy and unstoppable.”
“I want to marry you, Orlando Dominic. I also want to be a mafia like you.” Meryn said with determination. He stared into Orlando's eyes.
“What's your goal?” desus Orlando's.
“I want to use your power to reclaim what should be mine. I want to seize all the legacy of Patrizia ... with your power.” Meryn answered frankly.
Orlando smiled with satisfaction. This is what he wanted. Meryn's Confession. That way they will marry for their own purposes. Orlando for his obsession and love for Meryn. And Meryn is married to gain great power from the mafia organization that Orlando leads. They are equally fortunate.
“I don't matter what reason you want to marry me. As long as I can marry you, anything I can do.”
While squinting Meryn's eyes looked at Orlando in astonishment.
“You really love slave,” desus Meryn slowly.
“I already have it all, except one thing. Love, which I never even got from the woman who gave birth to me.”
“I can give you the love you want. And you can give me power, just like I want. How?” Meryn offers.

The splashing of warm water from the tap fills the bathtub to more than half. The rose petals that spread inside were floating, mingling with white foam. Meryn's body was submerged in water mixed with milk, rose petals, and olive soap. Then he turned off the tap after he felt the water in the bath was enough.
Tomorrow is the day he's waiting for. His wedding to Orlando Dominic. He could not guess what a mafia marriage would be like. Will it be the same as the wedding that Meryn had done a few months ago in Katredal Milano? Or will the mafia wedding feel as dark and sadistic as the one she saw in the movie? He is not sure what his wedding will be like tomorrow. Nor was he sure whether his heart was happy, sad, or afraid.
Orlando's voice recited behind Meryn's back. The man kissed Meryn's shoulder and rubbed her with rose petals.
“I'm not sure,” replied Meryn while wetting her upper body with milk. “You know, there are many feelings that cannot be described. Now I am too. I don't know what I feel.”
Orlando chuckled behind Meryn's head. Making Meryn immediately turn to the body of Orlando who was also naked like him.
“I love your honesty,” says Orlando.
“You didn't expect me to be happy with this marriage did you?” ask Meryn.
With so light Orlando shook his head.
“I just want to have you whole through this marriage. Of course, I hope you'll be happy. Even if you're not happy, the important thing is that you're mine. For me it's enough.”
Meryn returned her gaze to the delan when she heard Orlando explain so. There was one thing about him that the man didn't know. That is, Meryn is the type of woman who easily falls in love with someone. It was as easy as he had fallen in love with Henry to decide to marry him without knowing what rotten plans Henry actually had.
Meryn recalls the moment she fell in love with Henry. He felt so stupid and silly at the moment.
“I'm worried one day I'll fall in love with you.” Meryn muttered softly. Sometimes he has trouble keeping things in his head, and would rather put them out like this.
It felt as though both of Orlando's hands were clutching Meryn's body from behind. The man's palm squeezed Meryn's chest and stomach. Making Meryn squirm right away before dropping her body backwards, leaning on Orlando's body wet with milk.
“I'm waiting for that to happen, Honey.” Orlando whispered sensually in Meryn's ear.
Both of Meryn's eyes were closed.
“I'm afraid to love again. I was almost destroyed by the man I loved so much. I was worried it would happen again to me.” Meryn recounted while enjoying Orlando's stimulation in the water. The man's hand crept up to the bottom of Meryn's body. Makes Meryn's legs wander.
“Among the two of us, the one with greater potential to destroy is you, Meryn. Do you know the reason?” desus Orlando's.
Meryn spontaneously opened her eyes. He pulled Orlando's hand out of the water. Then he turned around to hope for the man's body.
“Why do I want to destroy you?” cetus Meryn's. His eyes were wary.
“I'm just talking about possibilities.”
“Why can I potentially destroy you?”
“Someone who is easy to destroy is he who has a sense of love beyond others.” Orlando answered. “Among the two of us, who has more love than the other?” continued.
That makes sense. But Orlando's prediction is not necessarily going to happen. Meryn wasn't even sure how fast she would fall in love with the man, just now her heart was beginning to shake. Since the day of Javer's abduction, Meryn has cultivated an unnatural sense to Orlando. Seeing how much the man loved her to the point of giving up her casino business just to make sure Meryn survived, Meryn's heart began to soften.
If Meryn had still seen Orlando the same way she had when she first came to Kastel\, there was no way Meryn would have enjoyed every session of her lovemaking with the man. For a woman\, feeling org*sme is not as easy as a man. Meryn won't be able to feel org*sme if she's uncomfortable with Orlando. While comfort itself is the initial detection of love that will appear in his heart.
Meryn stared at Orlando for quite a while while thinking about all that. Then he approached the man's face, whispering in his ear.
“I want to feel your shock again.
Orlando looked at the face of Meryn who was wanting something from him. The man smiled as he stroked Meryn's lips with his thumb.
“Good. But after that we have to discuss the contract,” said Orlando.
“Contract?”
