An Affair

MATTIA

"Interesting," I smiled slyly. "Speaking of women, I don't think I want to settle down with someone; even starting a family isn't my type," I trailed off.

"So what? Huh?" Harper cut me off, still with her haughty attitude. A woman ran up to her and touched her shoulder.

"Hey, is everything okay here?" asked the woman

Harper turned her head briefly, and she gave the woman a different look. "It's okay, Agnes, I can handle it."

I huffed, uncomfortable when other people interrupt my conversation like this: "So, don't cross your boundaries just because I married you, Harper! You slapped me, and that was too bold an act. Do you know what I mean?"

I threatened her. All I want is a little quiet play. Harper had to abort her baby; she had to have a rugged body and live a long life to be my sacrifice.

"I need to make it clear to you that I respect the employment contract since I also work with the business, but my body is mine, and my baby is my right! You don't need to interfere in personal matters, isn't that what our contract says?"

"You're right, but you also know things you shouldn't do to violate a contract, including disturbing each other's comfort. I'm not comfortable with that baby in your stomach!"

"Do I sound like I care?"

"If you don't abort the baby, I will cancel the contract, and the grape estate will be mine!" I threatened to get fed up

"What the hell are you talking about? You can't just tell someone to make decisions just like that, to fulfill your selfishness!" said the woman who touched Harper's shoulder; she put her body up to protect her.

"Agnes, please!" Harper grabbed her arm. "Please, let me talk to him; go back inside and tell Uncle Luke to calm down; he's been disrupting my mind link for a long time," said Harper.

I don't know what terms they're talking about, and I don't care. "Two days, that's how long it takes you to abort your baby! It was a pleasure working with you on this contract, Harper."

I sighed and went back to my car without looking at them. My driver glanced at my face from the center window of the vehicle; my cheeks were flushed red. "Holly Shiit, she's a woman but punches pretty hard, too. Is she trained to fight or something?" I grumbled

My family's hands, the mafia's hands. No blood was still wet when we touched it. Like vampires, we like to play with our prey, making them dry of blood, and well, that's a satisfaction.

"Harper, that girl turned out to be fun to be my new toy," I said flatly.

Two days later, I'm still waiting. Restlessly. Harper showed no signs of compliance. Playing a wedding with Harper was exciting, but I didn't expect her to be this difficult.

"I'm coming!" the voice I had been waiting for sounded outside my workroom.

Harper entered with her distinctive scent. I have to admit, this girl has a powerful American girl charm. She deserves to be a famous model, but her attitude is unsuitable for managing.

"Have you aborted your pregnancy?" I asked, giving a code for her to sit opposite me.

"Not yet!" her answer was short; she breathed. "I-I can't!"

"There's a reason for that?"

"My husband is married to my stepsister and doesn't know I'm pregnant!"

"So?"

"I need my son in the future for my revenge!"

"explain to me!"

"Mattia, you don't understand. I mean, we're not close to discussing personal problems with each other, right? Please, let's make a deal on this. I'm willing to work and enter into a contract marriage with you since you offered me as a form of help. Does that mean I'm providing benefits to you?"

"What?"

"Yeah, a Sicilian mobster like you makes an offer like this to the daughter of a poor businessman like me, so I must be instrumental; then tell me, what benefits are you after from me?"

My face remained flat, even though I was surprised. Her instincts turned out to be stronger than her father's. What if she finds out that I provoked her father to death? She is like a female wolf; it gives me a particular passion.

"You know, you impressed me!" I said

"If you don't tell me, I will find out!"

"Yeah, even you know I'm from the Sicilian mafia family!"

"That's how it is. I wish my skills in finding information were better!"

I rubbed my chin. "Okay, then, offer me a solution to this problem. I'm not interested in telling my family you're pregnant because of me!"

"You must!" She press me

"That's all you think? I give in to you?"

I let out a huff. "You know that's not how to play! I'm offering you a contract because you need it, so you have to follow my written rules!"

"I heard a fight over property between you and your uncle's son! Wouldn't having offspring be very beneficial?" Harper smiled slyly at me

"You don't know what you're talking about, Harper!"

"I know for sure, your fight with Jackson Vill. He followed his mother here, and you must also have a certain purpose for being in this country!"

Again and again, this makes me a little worried. Harper knows a lot more than her father. She is stupider than her father because her married life is not going well. She is not as innocent as he seems.

"Rumor has it that Jackson was abandoned by his fiancé, which means you'll win if you have children first, so isn't this interesting? Control half of your grandfather's property?" she offered

Harper then crossed her left leg over her right leg. I saw the outline of her porcelain-white limbs. "Think about this, Mattia Orazio, before I change my mind and tempt Jackson to have an affair with me since there is no love between us, right?" she threatened.
