My Italian Capo

chapter 17

"I want to be able to get a job. I want to work and not just sit here and grow old"

"Being a wife is a job though...right?" His lawyer spoke up and of course Lorenzo agreed with him

"Shut up!" I said out of anger "can't I atleast be your assistant again?...I don't want to sit on my ass the whole day"

"Stop shouting" Lorenzo closed his eyes "I'll think about it"

"Okay well I can sign the papers now"

"Great...just sign here, here and here" The lawyer instructed me

Once Lorenzo and I signed all the paperwork. We were pronounced husband and wife. Our witnesses were Aurora, Summer as well as the lawyer. I still kept my last name...but now I was burdened with the heavy Rosi surname. My left hand felt heavy...not only because I was now wearing a ring; but because of how expensive the rings were

Gone was the innocent Angelina, she was now replaced with the not so innocent Angelina Gertrude Gallagher Rosi. Wife to Lorenzo Stephano Rosi. THE CAPO CRIMINI.

The Rosi title had only been given to me for less than an hour but I can already feel it's weight on my shoulders. I'm already being called Mrs. Rosi...I've been interrupted four times already so that I could confirm the day to day things around the house; what to make for dinner, where to place these new vases, if we're expecting visitors today, if they're supposed to order new plates and utensils for the kitchen because Aurora destroyed them or if I need a massage

I've already had enough of everything and everyone. Being a wife truly is alot of work...I'm not cut out for this.

Lorenzo has given me a new phone so that I could inform my family about my marriage. To say I was nervous would be a lie; I was shitting bricks when they answered the phone.

They gave me an earful on my absence and how rude of me if was to elope with someone they knew nothing about. They weren't impressed with how successful he is because he didn't ask my father for my hand in marriage. They were relieved to know that I atleast had the decency to invite Aurora as a witness.

I shed a few tears of joy upon hearing their voices and they did too. They promised to come to Italy as soon as they could with Ariana and Austin.

I also called Ariana individually so that my baby sis could tell me about what the pregnancy life feels like.

Apparently Austin (my youngest sibling) has a girlfriend now. He graduated high school last week and he brought home his girlfriend so that she could meet the family. I've only heard good things about her and I'm saddened by the fact that I didn't experience all these things with them.

I informed all my friends about my marriage; Samantha and Keith were more shocked than everyone that I got married to our boss after going missing in action for all this time

"Are you even listening to me?" Penny asked

"Huh?"

"When are you moving into his room?"

"Tonight"

"You're not going on a honeymoon?" She asked

"Nope!" I said while popping the 'p'

"I'm supposed to call you Mrs. Rosi from now on"

"Come on Penny...you know you don't have to"

"No...I actually have to; Mr. Rosi held a meeting a few minutes ago. We are to address you as Mrs. Rosi...you are the boss too now and we should treat you like one. We're supposed to ask you for permission before we do anything"

"Why?" I facepalmed "I don't want any special treatment...I don't want people to look at me the same way they look him. I want to be one of the guys you know?"

"I know sweetie"

"Please promise that you won't treat me differently"

"I promise...but if Mr. Rosi is around; I have to act accordingly" she said

"That's fair enough"...now if you'll excuse me; I'm going to go have a word with my husband

After walking for what felt like years i finally made it to his office.

I knocked twice and there was no response. I know he's in there. This is why I don't like knocking...it only gives people the opportunity to ignore you or to lie and say they're busy

I decided to just walk in and open the door. Now I know why nobody responded...he's a little occupied with someone at the moment.

Lorenzo was seated on one of the couches in his home office with his head rolled back and a girls face in between his legs.

As soon as they heard the door open...their heads shot up and they moved away from each other.

"Angelina" he said as he moved towards me as he pulled his zipper up
