Daughter of the Mafia's Consigliere

MARIANNE

My face fell when Ricardo suddenly condemned my outfit. I kind of expected him to disagree with what I wore but I never expected him to be this harsh.

Was the outfit that bad? I see nothing absolutely wrong with the dress so what's his problem?

Why should he even be the one to decide what I would put on? What does he know about female dressing styles?

"Why?" I asked him, trying not to get pissed.

"There's no time to start explaining and pointing out the reason why this outfit is not suitable for dinner tonight. First of all, it's too short and exposing, the dress is not looking attractive at all, you're only making it look a bit attractive by exposing your body part.

I know how reckless you can be but you should respect the fact that it's dinner with not just my dad but also a family friend. We are not going to clubs and you're also not on a mission to seduce men. So please, get back in and change into something more presentable!" He yelled and I scoffed.

It's not even that short in length though, I don't know why he is being so dramatic and it's very annoying for real!

If I chose not to change into something else, there's nothing he would be able to do about it, but I feel like it's not necessary exchanging words and raising voices with him. "Change into this instead,"

He suddenly threw a packaged dress at me and I caught it immediately.

Wait, did he actually get me a dress?

I was about to get a bit excited when I recalled that the last time he got me a dress, they were worse than maid dresses!

The clothes were five times my original body size,

I wanted to speak up but I kept mute. If I go in and find out that he got an oversized dress, I wouldn't put it on!

I will just insist on going for the dinner with my current wear and if he still disagrees, I'm just going to stay back and sleep peacefully!

"Why are you still standing there? The dinner is by 9 pm but it's ten minutes past nine already. Stop wasting my time, I wonder if there's anything you know how to do by yourself.

You can't cook, you don't have a good dressing style, you're very annoying and irritating! The only thing you know how to do best is just to run your mouth! Just go and get changed please!" Ricardo said and I folded my fist trying to suppress my anger.

Because if I end up losing my cool, we are going to end up having a fight.

I noticed that he was looking away from me even while yelling, he wasn't looking directly at me.

"Something is obviously wrong with you, you're the one that obviously has a problem! Anyone in their right senses would see that nothing is wrong with what I'm putting on but because you just want to stress and annoy me, you're asking me to go change. What if I refuse? It's not like you can actually force me to change into another dress!" I fired back stubbornly.

He suddenly faced me swiftly and spoke up, "I don't..." he suddenly stopped talking as soon as he looked at me.

He gulped and suddenly looked away,

"I had a really long day, so just go in and change, there's no time for this!"

"There's no time but you have time to insult me right?" I rolled my eyes at him and hissed before storming away from the sitting room.

I went to my room and banged the door closed feeling so pissed. He seized every opportunity to always get on my nerves!

I checked myself out in the mirror and saw absolutely nothing wrong with what I was putting on.

I was looking very okay and presentable, I don't know what's the problem or maybe his eyes are the problem.

I hissed and I brought out the dress he got for me.

My anger slowly dissipated when I saw how beautiful the dress was, it was a black dinner dress that was adorned beautifully.

I never expected him to get me something this glamorous, I loved the dress freaking much!

I really thought it was going to be an ugly dress because he has never gotten anything nice for me.

The dress was screaming classiness and luxury, damn!

Ricardo actually exceeded my expectations, I was literally short of words.

I could imagine how alluring how attractive I would turn out to be once I put it on.

I immediately pulled out my other dress and wore the black one Ricardo got for me.

The fact that it was my exact size, wow!

It was a long black sexy gown that hugged my body, it snatched my waist and made my curves very visible.

It had bra cups that pushed up my breasts, which added to my sexiness.

I decided to change my hairstyle, I wanted to do something better that would match my dress.

I loosened the messy bun and just straightened my hair. I let it fall down freely and used a few hair accessories on it.

I looked at myself in the mirror and was very much content with my look, the black dress was making me happy.

I hope Ricardo doesn't become childish and decided to collect the dress after tonight. I don't think he is going to do that anyways.

"Marianne! Are you going to spend hours just changing into another dress?" Ricardo suddenly yelled from the sitting room. "I'm coming already,"

I grabbed my bag and immediately dashed out of my room, I was being careful so I don't clog my heels.

If I mistakenly miss a step and fall, I would end up ruining my dress.

"All done, I hope you don't ask me to go back in and change again because I would never listen to you!" I half yelled rolling my eyes at no one in particular.

He just kept staring at me without saying anything, is he going to point out another error and ask me to go change again?

He can't complain about the dress since he was the one who bought it and no one in their right senses would find fault in the black dress I was putting on.

Was it the shoes or the bag I was putting? Whatever! I'm not stepping back into my room to change into anything!

Surprisingly, he didn't say anything to me and just walked out. I needed no one to remind me that I had to follow him out immediately.

I couldn't even get a single compliment from him, he couldn't even compliment just the dress.

I know I was looking gorgeous but he just kept a straight face, I didn't look attractive to him at all?

I know he must dislike me a lot but I don't look that irritating right?

As I was about to enter into his car, I then got reminded of Kathy who is still locked up in the basement.

I had to call for his attention and he switched off the car engine.

"What about Kathy? Are you going to leave her all alone in this house?"

"She is tied and locked up so there is no way out for her."

"But still, isn't it high time you untie and let her go? She has been tied and locked in there for hours, I can't hear her voice anymore even when I yelled her name."

"Stop worrying over such things! That's my business to take care as long as your life won't get threatened anymore. Enzo will take care of her once he returns so get into the car right now and don't ask me more questions!" I reluctantly obeyed and he drove out of the mansion heading to Giovanni's mansion.

I now have time to even think about the so-called dinner and its purpose. How important is that family friend though?

Why can't they have the dinner without Ricardo involved because he obviously doesn't look interested in it all?

I would have loved to ask questions about the so-called family friend but I knew Ricardo was going to ignore me so I just swallowed my question instead.

I would be getting to see that annoying buffalo's face again and even eat with him, I'm talking about Giovanni though.

"You have good taste for picking out dresses for ladies," I suddenly broke the silence between us.

I wanted to appreciate him for the dress but I wanted to do that in such a way that it won't show that I'm that grateful and feel very happy about it.

I know it's crazy and childish for me to think like that right?

"Don't get the wrong idea, I asked one of the workers to pick the dress for you, you're lucky it's your size though. It's not a gift and I didn't get the dress for you because I wanted to," Ricardo pouted out and I scoffed. Must he be always thoughtless?

"Anyways, thank you." I muttered simply but I was sincerely grateful.

"It's not..." Ricardo suddenly got interrupted by the sound of a gunshot and a bullet flew past me making me scream my lungs out.
