The Mafia Boss's Claim (Undergoing Editing,Do Not Read)

~Chapter 40~

Scarlett's POV

I was currently begrudgingly( may I add) getting ready for one of Lucien's dinner parties he was going to attend.He forced me to come with him,while I wanted to stay with Pluto and watch some films.It has been a while since I have sat back and relaxed,but looks like I was declined my relaxation.

I groaned and threw the shoe across the room when it didn't want to fit.I was still upset with Lucien over the kid fiasco,but I suppose I was being irrational by acting so selfish.I threw both stilettos out the door and walk towards the closet and fling the doors open.I mutter angrily as I search for another pair.I groan in frustration when it also doesn't fit and look in disbelief at my feet.

There is no way may feet fucking grew that fast.I wore them last month and they fit perfectly fine!I slide to the floor and throw my head in my hands.My emotions has been all over the place since Lucien said he didn't want children.I didn't have a valid reason why I was acting this way.

After a few moments of sitting on the floor,I heard the bathroom door open and Lucien's footsteps approaching.I stood up quickly and grabbed another pair of black heels and returned to the room.I sat on the bed as I forced them on.After struggling for a while longer,it finally slipped on and I sighed in relief.I walked to the mirror and examined my appearance.

My hair was curled into faint curls at the ends and a little in the middle.I wore a black body con dress which reached mid thigh with thin straps.My long legs were displayed perfectly and I sighed and turned around and walked out the door where Lucien exited about two minutes ago.

I strutted down the hall and into the elevator and pressed the first floor.I walked out and sat at the kitchen counter.Lucien was standing there drinking water.

"You look stunning,princess,"he said once he looked at me.I just nodded at him and gestured to the door.

"Are we going or not?"I didn't mean to be a bitch about it but I couldn't shake off the dissapointment.

"Garret's parking the car out front,"he said and walked forward and grabbed my waist and lifted me onto the counter.

"Now tell me why you're being so hesitant and curt,"he looked at me dead in the eye and clenched his jaw.

"It's just..."I said sadly then remembered how he sounded so firm about not having a child."Nothing,"I tried fighting his hands off me and jump off the counter but he didn't let me.He sat me back down and looked at me with a hard glare.

"Talk to me Scarlett,"I flinched when he used my name.It was rather pathetic doing so but I was so used to him calling me "princess" so I felt a bit hurt.Fuck this,I wanted to blow something up.

"Let's just go,"I said and gave him a pointed look when he didn't let go.We stared each other off until his grip loosened and I slipped off the counter.I walked infront of him out of the front door and towards where Garret was waiting.

"Hello Ms.Scarlett,"he greeted and I forced a smiled at him.

"Hi  Garret,"I said meekly and climbed into the limo.I stayed seated and watched as Lucien climbed in as well with Garret closing the door behind him.

The drive to the dinner party was a bit long and filled with tense silence.Neither one of us said a word as we let silence fill the space.The car slowed down and I stood up to climb out.I tugged the dress down as soon as we were outside.

"Stay by my side or in my line of sight,"Lucien demanded in an intimidating voice and I rolled my eyes but nodded nonetheless.I held onto the inside of his elbow as we walked down the pathway in the center of the lawn.A guard opened the door for us and I gave him a small smile.When we entered the mansion I was greeted by elegance all around.The quiet chatter died down as Lucien and I walked into the open pan area.

I raised an eyebrow at the wandering eyes and soon they continued with their conversations again.I grumbled feeling my feet ache.

"Fuck,my feet hurt,"I said then walked to a random table and plopped down onto the chair and took off my heels.

"Scarlett,what the fuck are you doing?"Lucien hissed and I glared at him.I handed them over to him and walked barefoot towards the bar.

"Scarlett,"Lucien warned from behind me as I sat down onto the barstool.

"One vodka please,"I smiled at the bartender and he nodded.I craned my neck to look at Lucien and he glared at me.

"What's up with you?"I scoffed at the question and turned my head to see the bartender setting a shot glass onto the counter.

"Bottle,"I said and his eyes widened slightly before nodding.

"Princess why are you ignoring m-"Lucien was cut off by a high pitched voice.

"Oh Lucien!If I had known you'd been here I would've shown up extra early!"I scowled at the blonde haired woman who batted her lashes up at him.

"Catherine,"is all he said and I took a swig of my vodka bottle as I watched the exchange.
