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

"What's your purpose for buying it?" The man asked.

"My wife finds it so lovely and she wanted it so badly so I gave no choice but to buy it for her. I want to use it as a gift for any upcoming anniversary. We just got married though." I expressed my plan to them.

"Even if we want to sell it, it is not a small amount. We should know the one you want and we will get back to you. Let him check the computer for the paintings, and let us know the one you want out of all of them. Or just give him the diagrams" They gave me diagrams and I searched for the painting. When I saw the painting, I handed it over to them.

"We will call you regarding it, but it might take up to weeks since it is a national property." He said as he stretched out his hand for me to take. I stood up and accepted his handshake.

"Here is my business card." I gave it to the man.

"We will make sure to call you." He said.

"And I will be expecting your calls" I said.

I put a two thousand dollars bill on the table so that they can be fast with the process. I smiled at the manager and went out of the museum but not before winking at the receptionist.

I got to the hotel room hoping to see Irina inside but I didn't see in the suite. Is she okay? Was she kidnapped? I ran out of the hotel suite to the reception area.

"Where is my wife?" I asked the receptionist in a calm tone but I am freaking reckless. Alexei won't go easy on me and my family. I don't even want her missing. Half of my body is dead as I can't find her. She doesn't even know anyway here. She is a novice.

"Didn't she tell you? She has gone to the beach. She said she wanted to swim so we escorted her there." She said,

"Thank you." I walked to the beach looking for her. Then I spotted her. What the fuck?

I was busy searching for her hoping that she was safe but there she was flirting with another man.

"Roman, over here." She waved at me immediately she spotted me, signaling that I should come to her.

Does she want me to come and watch how she flirts with another man?
