Arranged Marriage

Chapter 24

"Mr. Knight and Mrs knight....welcome" Mr. Roberto voice was suddenly hear as he greeted Sophia and I.

Mr. Roberto was the scorpion's second leader. When Mr. Grey (the leader of the gang) wasn't presented, he wound take over for him. He was one of Mr. Grey trusted me but he thinks of himself more of a boss at times and think he could make very important decisions for Mr. Grey when he isn't around. He even tries to trick me into signing some dumb contacts but I'm smarter than that. Way smarter.

"Mr. Knight. Long time no see" He greeted me in his slight Italian accent.

"Mr. Roberto" I shook the man's hand and he send a smirked at me before his eyes went to Violet and then Sophia

"I see you brought your wife along with you" he said and I give him a confused look.

How did he know? Unless he's stalking me....or her...

"How did you know who---"

"It's so easily to figure out. No offense to the woman next to you but your wife is more beautiful and actually looked like your wife because.....you two look good together" he cut me off and I took a glance at Violet to see her uncomfortable.

I should get her away from him before he keeps talking shit and then she'll cry or feel hurt. I was about to tell Mr. Roberto I'll see him another time but I guess he beat me to it.

"Anyways, I have some other guests to greet. I'll see you around" he said to me and send a wink at Sophia before he disappeared into the crowd.

Really? He just winked at her? F**king pervert!

"I'll be right back" I said to both of them and left to get a drink.

"Here's your drink sir" The waiter said as I walked towards him and I took two, one for me and the other for Sophia. I totally forgot about Violet.

I don't know why but I just though she might want one to drink.

"Jacob" A familiar voice was heard and I turned around only to see my grandpa dressed in his black formal wear as usual.

"What now?" I asked after I mentally rolled my eyes at him.

"Oh nothing. I just wanted to ask if Sophia was here" he responded and I sigh.

"Yes, she's standing with Violet beside the entrance" I said while scanning the room looking for her.

"Okay, I hope I can see her before you leave. I'll come talk to her later. I first have sons business to take care of" he said and walked off.

Letting out a breath again, I walked back to where I left Sophia and Violet but I only spotted Violet standing there as her eyes scanned the room.

As her eyes land on me it lit up and she quickly walked towards me. "Jacob!" She happily said while wrapping her hands carefully around mine, so that the two glass of wines won't spill.

"Where's Sophia?" I found myself asking while my eyes scanned the room for her.

"She went somewhere." She responded then her eyes met the two glass of wine in my hands. "Did you get me one?! Thank you!" She said and took one our of my hands before sipping on it.

'That wasn't for you! That was for his wife!!" My conscious said and I sigh.

How could I forget to get one for Violet? She has already drank from it anyways. She should just keep it.
