《The Mafia Bride ♡》Chapter 6 {Pond}
Advertisement
Catalaiya's pov:
Once Aziel left-which I knew he did since I heard his car drive away-I made my way to the master bedroom. On my way, I try to look for Thalia but she wasn't there. I guessed, she went to the guest house.
Once in the room, I looked out for my laptop. Thalia kept it on the shelves below my clothes, along with my chargers, notebooks and diaries. I grabbed my work diary and my laptop before walking to the couch.
I sat down, dialled Nayve's number and waited for her to pick up.
"Hello?"
"Hey," I said.
"Oh my god, are you okay?" She asked concerned making me frown.
Besides from being an assistant, she was also a good friend of mine. She knows that I was getting an arranged marriage but the concern in her voice tells me it was for something else.
"Yeah, why?" I asked.
"Well, rumours are going around that you were kidnapped on your wedding day and you are now married to a mafia." She whispered the last part.
Who the hell spread this rumour!?
"I wasn't kidnapped," I reassured her.
"Oh thank lord-wait a minute you didn't deny the last part." She pointed out making me sigh.
"Cause it's true," I say.
"Damn... is he... hot?" She asked curiously.
I rolled my eyes, "Nayvee."
"What? I'm just curious." She playfully said.
"Anyway, let's talk about work. Tomorrow I'll be back at the office and-"
"Woman, you just got married!" She interrupted me, almost screaming in my ear.
I furrowed my eyebrows, "So?"
"Look I know this means nothing to you since it was a deal... but why don't you take this opportunity to take some time for yourself? You have been working your ass off for two years. Take a break and relax." She said.

"There's a lot of work pending," I reminded her.
"Then work from home. Don't worry about the office, I'll send you all the pending files by email and once you check them, I'll make sure the rest of the work will be done correctly." She reassured me.
"Are you sure you'll be able to-"
"Yes boss,"
I sigh, I guess I can work from here.
"By the way, everyone is referring you as the 'Mafia Bride'."
I scoff, "That's all they come up with?"
Nayvee laughed, "You know how they are."
"Anyway, send me some of the files. I'll get to work right away."
"Sure,"
I hang up and waited for her to send me the files. Once she did, I started on the first one. Two hours later, I heard a knock and I looked toward the door.
"Lunchtime," Thalia informed me, "I'll serve your food."
"Wait," I stopped her before she leaves.
"Can I have lunch with you and Alfred? I don't want to eat alone." I asked and she looked at me surprised.
"Sure but we'll have to go at the guest house though,"
I shrugged, "No problem."
I turned off my laptop before making my way downstairs, following Thalia. She stopped by the counter, handed me the juice jar while she grabbed the food pot. We both walked out to the guest house.
"Alfred," Thalia called out as she put the pot on the table.
"Coming honey," Alfred replied.
I put the juice beside the food and looked around. Thalia walked to the cabinet and took out some plates.
"Hi,"
I turned around and saw Alfred smiling at me.
"Hi," I greeted him.
"She wants to have lunch with us," Thalia told him.

"If you don't mind," I added.
Alfred chuckled, "why would we mind? We rarely get any company."
"Oh! Let's take our food and go to our backyard garden." Thalia suggested excitedly.
Backyard garden?
"Sure honey,"
Thalia served our food which was pasta and she handed me my plate with my juice. I wanted to help her but she didn't let me. We walked to her back patio and I was surprised to see the view.
"Do you like it?" Alfred asked me and I nodded still looking around mesmerised.
"Alfred designed this," Thalia added.
"It's really pretty," I commented.
I feel like I kept saying this sentence a lot but it was true. We walked near the fire pit area and sat down. We started to eat.
"So dear, tell us more about yourself," Alfred spoke.
"Oh, there is nothing much... I work in my dad's office, I love to spoil my little niece, I love painting and drawing and..." I try to think about more things but nothing came to my mind.
"That's all," I said.
"What kind of painting do you draw?" Alfred asked genuinely interested.
"Anything that comes in my mind, sometimes the drawing end up reflecting what I was feeling while drawing it... but I stopped this hobby two years ago," I replied and he frowned at the last part.
"Why?"
"I started to focus more on work," I replied briefly.
"And this wedding was a part of your work," Thalia said in a soft tone, looking at me.
I slowly nodded, "I didn't have a say in it."
"About this morning, I don't know what happen to Aziel. He's not this rude and b-"
"It's ok," I interrupted her, "I understand."
"Well if you need anything, you can ask us. Also, I would suggest you start painting again. I have a feeling it will help you more than you can imagine." Alfred told me.
Maybe I will...
We ate our lunch and relaxed for a few minutes talking about random things.
"I have something else to show you." Alfred suddenly said making me curious.
He walked toward the wood, with Talia and me following him behind. I was intrigued when I saw some footsteps leading down to somewhere. Midway through the steps, I gasped.
"Did you do this too?" I asked Alfred and he nodded proudly.
"With some help," Alfred added
"This man does a lot of things when he has some free time," Thalia commented, with a proud smile.
"Is there fish in it?" I asked and he shook his head no.
"Unfortunately I never got the time to go and buy some."
"How about we go today?" I suggested.
He gave me an apologetic smile, "I have a few errands to run."
Well, darn it.
