Cassandra, The Mafia's Bride

Lord Davis was very happy and had an unusual smile on his face. He hardly smiles, only when he's about to get paid by a debtor that a little wicked grin appears on his face. He dressed like a god that he is, got out of his mansion and went into his car, a black bugatti chiron. He sat at the back with one of his bodyguard close to him, his driver and one other bodyguard were seated at the front sit. Then the journey began, as usual Davis will be receiving phone calls from his boys who are already at the entrance of the debtor's house, they will be monitoring the in and out movement of the family member and if anything suspicious is noticed, he will be notified immediately.

The Aldo's were still preparing for this unknown visitor, a couple of dished were made by Cassandra and her mom, the table was prepared by Andrew and Carlos( the boys of the family). They were all expecting the guest to arrive at 8pm sharp, so they all made sure to finish the duties assigned to them before 7pm. When all was arranged and everything was set, they went to their individual rooms to get dressed. When Camilla got to her room she noticed that Aldo was sitting at the edge of the bed facing the window lost in his thoughts and he still had this sad expression on his face, so she drew closer to him and gave him a tight hug which was all he needed. He cuddled in her embrace as if he was expecting one, within seconds he broke down into tears and he started asking her for forgiveness. She was shocked at his request because Aldo was a very proud man who would never ask for forgiveness from anyone even though he's at the wrong, but something was different about him at that time and she just couldn't place her fingers on it. He kept on shedding tears and asking for forgiveness.

Aldo: (in the arms of Camilla) Please forgive me Camilla. I have wronged both you and Cassandra and brought shame to the name of the Aldo's. And I fear that there is nothing I can do about it at this point.

Camilla: (with a puzzled expression on her face) What do you mean by that Aldo? Stop speaking in parables and tell me what's going on.

Aldo: (released himself from her embrace and went straight to the closed window, observed the activities going on outside, then he took a deep breath) I am one of the debtors of Lord Davis. 

Camilla: (couldn't believe her ears as she stood up to look at her husband in the eyes as if meaning to remove his eyeballs, then she jerked his collar drawing him closer to herself) WHAT!!! say that again and say it clearly.

Aldo: (could see the fear in the eyes of his wife who was exhaling hot gas directly at his face) I-I-I am a deb-tor of Lord-Davis. I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to, it just happened and now I couldn't pay back his money and favors. I'm really really sorry, I know I've done wrong and I have no excuse what so ever to justify my actions, I deserve whatever punishment you see fit.

Camilla: (felt like tearing him into a million pieces) Do you know the kind of danger you have exposed us to?

Aldo: Yes, I do.

Camilla: (pushed him away and yelled at him) No, you don't. No Aldo, you don't know what you done to us. I thought you were just an arrogant idiot who knew what he was doing but now I know that you are not just arrogant and stupid but also foolish. What did you lack that you accepted favors from Lord Davis of all people, you didn't lend from the state bank but Lord Davis of all calibre. If it was a classy car, you have thongs of them, if it was a mansion, you have at least two that I know of, if it was cash, everyone knows that you are one of the richest in the city, so what else did you need money for? Aldo talk to me!

Aldo: (he fell to the ground heavily and couldn't help but cry out his heart after he realized that he was a pawn in Davis hands all this while, Davis was using him to get a bigger fish, he had been a fool all this while) I'm an idiot! What have I done? My daughter, my family, no, noooo I'm a mess.

Camilla: Now do you realize what you have done? You have sold us cheap Aldo. You have put all our lives at risk, especially that of our daughter. (She started shedding tears) I've noticed for long that you never wanted to see me smile not even for once, anything that made me smile was always destroyed by you. Now when I thought I had found something that you couldn't takeaway, you proved me wrong yet again. I know fully well that what Davis seeks is my warrior princess, the most beautiful lady in the whole city and beyond. Sometimes I wonder what I saw in you that me made me fall for you to the extent we got married. You are not supposed to be living among us humans but among your kind in the wild- heartless cruel arrogant idiots like you. 

Aldo: (Crawled on his knees to his wife, then he hugged her around are knee region and wouldn't let go) I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I promise to make things right, even if that's the last thing I'll do before I meet my creator. I promise to do it and set our daughter free.

Camilla: (wiped her tears away, then she raised him up to his feet) We will save our daughter okay. So get ready, he will soon be here.

So they dressed up and waited patiently for Lord Davis on the dining table. Cassandra was looking stunning of all of them seated on the table, she was the light of the table, very pretty, attractive and beautiful. Which male would lay eyes on her and not want her, even the females of the city worship her not to talk of the males, she's a demi-goddess, a site to behold.
