Arranged To Marry The Enemy (a Mafia story) by Zainab Ajike (snow like ashes txt) 📖

"I don't trust him with my sister. What if he does anything but to her there or murder her there? She is not following him. I am not in for this, I am not giving you my approval." Ruslan said out of blue.

I bursted out laughing. Loana gasped in surprise while Roman just chuckled at what he said.

"Come on, stop having negative thoughts about this. They are a couple. Roman can never do anything like that to her. He can't do such a thing to her. They might not like each other now but trust me, this honeymoon will be a huge step in making them like each other." Loana explained to Her husband.

"I can't believe you think I am so weak and dumb to that level. I can't fight my own battle. Don't worry about me, Ruslan." I assured him.

"I don't harm the opposite gender, it is against our rules here. You should try checking yourself, okay?" Roman said to Ruslan which resulted to Ruslan rolling his eyes to what Roman said.

"Do you want to go, Irina?" Ruslan directed his question to me.

"Yes, I want to." I replied with a smile on my face.

Seriously, I want to explore. I want to go around the world and explore different ways of life. I want to follow Roman to the country he is going to. Maybe I will get to meet new people there.

"That's it. You see, she is in. Let's do this." Loana said delightedly.

"I am leaving next tomorrow." Roman announced.

"So soon? I don't even think Irina has a passport, ``Loana scoffed.

"She has. I can bring it tomorrow." Ruslan said.

"She has? That's wonderful. But she hasn't even used it since all this while. This will be the first time she will get to make use of it." Loana said.

"I have?" I asked Ruslan in a low tone.

I can't believe I have things I don't even know I have. It is wonderful, isn't it.

I have to say this but I was being treated like a baby my entire life. What will take them all to inform me that I do have a passport, credit card and things I am yet to know.

This is crazy.

"Of course you have. It is with dad. He has it all this while. He never let anyone touch it. Anyway, I will ask him for it tonight." Ruslan Responded.

"That's nice, right?" I asked no one in particular sarcastically.

"So, like I was saying. This is the first step in finding their hidden chemistry. So I want you guys to do well, try your best." Loana said as she glanced at both Roman and I simultaneously.

"We all know that Irina is naive, she needs to blend so your brother should know how to make it work. He should teach Irina how to do certain things and put in all his efforts in it. And he should treat her well. If he does all these, they will start to like each other." Ruslan said facing Roman without taking his eyes off him. He is trying to look for Roman's trouble once again.

"I think Ruslan is right. Roman should take the lead role for now, Irina will blend into it sooner than expected. She is a fast learner. Don't worry, she will look so sexy for you. She has lingeries to wear just for you." She said.

I am so red as a tomato right now. Must she tell them about what she brought for me? Seriously.

I bow my head in embarrassment. This is so damn embarrassing.

"Gosh" I muttered to myself in embarrassment.

"Whoa, that's nice." Ruslan mocked.

"Shut the fuck up!" I muttered to him shooting him my deadly glare.

"Hmm." He said as he continued eating.

"The food is already cold." I said out loud.

"You all must finish it. I wasted my time and energy in preparing this." Ruslan warned.

"I am full." Roman was the first to talk. He shifted the plate from him and started pressing the phone.

I somehow feel bad for Ruslan. He tried making us dinner and eating his food is the only way of repaying him? I have finished this food no matter what.

I started digging in the food until I finished everything. Same thing goes with loana. I am sure she doesn't want to piss off her husband or make him sad.

"I am done eating" loana announced.

"Same here." I said.

"Be a nice brother and take my plate along with yours to the kitchen. I will do the dishes."I said to Ruslan.

"Take your own plate to the kitchen." Ruslan said with annoyance.

"Come in, you have to listen to me, I am your elder sister." I said to him.

"Whatever." He said as he stood up.

"Wait, you are older than Ruslan?" Loana asked, surprised.

Didn't she know?

"Yes, what's the problem?" I asked her.

Ruslan marched my leg gently beneath the table, sending me signals to lie or keep my mouth shut but I guess it's already too late.

"So In that case, Ruslan lied to me. You lied to me saying you are two years older than her. Why did you?" She whispered to him.

What? I can believe he claimed that he is older than me. This guy needs real beating.

"I am so sorry, I can explain." He said as he stood up to approach her.

"Of course not, get the fuck out of here." She said as tears rolled down her face.

What should I do? I guess I just caused a rift between them.
