The Mafia & The Billionaire

Alex

I wanted to visit her at her office. Still, I decided waiting for her outside the Serendipity building would be better. I wasn’t sure if she’d appreciate that or not, so I did it just to be safe since I’m still figuring out her preferences when it comes to intimacy and affection. She’s only recently started going to her company, so this is the first time I’ll get to try it out.

And that kiss she gave me after she saw me waiting? Damn! That was superb! I didn’t expect her to initiate something like that in front of her employees. But anyway, we are married, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Besides, I’m the recipient of that sweetness from my wife, so it’s fine.

She expected us to go home, but I had other plans. I knew she wouldn’t complain even if she couldn’t change her clothes, so I took her somewhere else. She’s so confident and always looks fresh, clean, and beautiful, especially since she spent the whole day in the office.

“Tell me, where are we really going?” she asked, slightly irritated.

“Do you have other plans?” I asked, frowning.

“No, but I still want to know where you’re taking me.”

“To a date.”

“A date? Why? What’s gotten into you?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Is it wrong for me to take my wife on a date? When was the last time we went out?” She seemed to think about it, and I shook my head. “You can’t even remember because it’s been so long, right?” She rolled her eyes at me, but I just laughed.

“Whatever!” I took her hand, kissed it, and pulled her close. She leaned against me while I still held her hand.

We stayed like that until we arrived at the restaurant. I opened the door, still holding her hand so she could follow me.

We walked into the restaurant hand in hand, and I could see the looks of the people around us who were also prominent in society. Some weren’t surprised to see us together since I recognized a few faces who had attended Serene’s inauguration and surely knew we were married. Well, the others didn’t. So they’re clueless and must be thinking, who the hell is the woman walking with me?

We chose a less crowded part of the restaurant since neither one liked having people watch us while we ate. But I wanted to change that because I’m proud of our relationship, and she’s my wife, so I want to show her off to the world.

“When did you decide you wanted to go on a date?” she asked once we were both seated. She still seemed a bit skeptical.

“Just earlier,” I said, about to say more when the waiter approached and handed us the menu. “What do you want to have, honey?”

“Anything, you know I’m okay with whatever.” I nodded and started to choose. “How about we go healthy?”

“Yeah, I like that.” After she said that, I told the waiter what I had chosen.

“Drinks?” I asked again.

“Orange juice would be fine, but don’t forget to ask for water.”

“Dessert?”

“I like anything sweet.” I pointed out our choices to the waiter, who repeated everything my wife wanted before leaving us.

Serene started talking about the jewelry company and Lorenzo and Daisy visiting her office. I’m happy that she’s beginning to share things she wants to talk to me about. It’s a big deal that she’s becoming more comfortable with me, and even though I know-because she’s already told me-that she loves me, I can’t help but still feel nervous sometimes.

I told her about my upcoming meeting with Philip Einspein because it was already scheduled. I’d tell her about my meeting with Richard when we got home, as I didn’t want anyone else to overhear us.

“What’s your plan for collaborating with Philip?” she asked.

“Well, I want a 50/50 share of the profits.”

“Would you agree to that?” she asked, surprised.

“He has a bigger responsibility, and even without me, if he really wanted to pursue the clothing line, he could do it without me,” I explained to her.

“I never thought you’d admit that.”

“I’m a businessman, honey, and I can see if something is profitable. His name is already a brand; I don’t need to market it. I’m sure many interested clients will flock to the store we’ll partner with.”

My wife nodded just as the waiter arrived with our food. Their table settings were already neat, so only the food was missing to complete the table.

We started eating, and watching my wife enjoy her meal was nice. You wouldn’t think she was the leader of an organization capable of killing enemies. I wondered what it would be like if she got pregnant. How would she react?

“Honey,” I called her, making her look up at me after taking a spoonful of food. “I know you mentioned this to Mom and Dad. But what if, just what if, you get pregnant?”

“What about it?” she asked, puzzled, after swallowing her food and drinking water.

“I was just thinking, you know we don’t use protection and make love every night.”

“Yeah, what about it?” she asked, still confused.

“Is it okay with you? Wouldn’t you be mad at me because it could ruin your plans?”

“Why would I get mad at you? I’m sure you want it too, and I already told your parents that if it happens, it’s God’s will.”

I was so happy because of what she said, and I couldn’t help but show it to her. “But of course, it’s concerning if it happens when things are like this. You know, I still need to take care of things, just like you said. Besides, there’s still a threat to the happy family I’m planning, so I hope it’s delayed for now.”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I nodded, not feeling disappointed because I understood her point. Knowing that she also wants us to have a child was enough for me, which sparked a plan in my mind.

We went home happy, and I promised myself that I would always find time to date her, no matter how busy our schedules were. It’s nice to experience the dating stage, especially since we didn’t go through that and went straight to marriage.

For the family I dream of, I’ll do everything to improve my wife’s life so she won’t have to abandon the people she’s been with for a long time, including the organization that’s a legacy of her family. I’ll help her give it a new face.
