Chapter 22
MARIANNE.
It was a few minutes after the wedding ended that Ricardo informed me that we were going on our honeymoon that same day. Like, was it really necessary? What's the point of going for a honeymoon when we are having an open marriage? Honeymoons are meant for married couples who are in love with each other.
It's really very annoying and irritating!
I didn't even get the chance to converse well with Sophia after the wedding ended.
She is returning back tonight so she will be gone even before I return back from this so-called honeymoon. I would have really loved to spend more time with her because I felt so clueless after getting married to a Mafia family. I'm never going to be happy and I wonder how I'm going to cope dealing with Ricardo and his father especially.
I don't want to even think about Giovanni's request for a grandchild within the space of a year or two, I hope Ricardo deals with that because it's not happening.
Maybe Sophia leaving early is for the best because I know she still has a lot of questions to bombard me with. She is not dumb and would sense that something isn't right and that I'm also lying to her if she stays longer. She would try to force the truth out of me, she would also get suspicious of how things are being done here.
I hope Ricardo is not using this honeymoon as an excuse so he can have sex with me. He should dream on because that's never going to happen! I would never let him have his way with me, he shouldn't even imagine it!
He thinks he can have me and also continue with his mistress? I'm not that cheap! Since it's an open marriage, there should be certain boundaries, I should even make additional rules, he shouldn't be the only one doing that. Ricardo is currently driving to only God knows where while I was occupying the seat opposite the driver's. He suggested using his private jet but I disapproved, I'm more comfortable going by road.
I had no idea of the place we were going to be having our honeymoon even though I've asked Ricardo numerous times.
He just chose to ignore me as usual.
"Was the honeymoon really necessary? You shouldn't have bothered yourself in making any arrangement for this." I finally broke the silence but he kept mute and continued driving.
This is one side of him I hate so much! Why does he suddenly go deaf when I ask him something?
Is that pride or what?
"I just said something," I added and he sighed.
"Giovanni planned for all these,"
Woah! So I wasn't the only one who called my mother by her name? Does he hate his father too or is he too proud to address him as his father?
"Why didn't you just try to stop him? You would have tried to convince and make him see reasons why the honeymoon was not really important."
"It's not too late, I can drop you off right now and then you return back to the mansion, try to convince him yourself." Ricardo replied to me sarcastically and I scoffed.
He is literally the most annoying human I've ever come across, I wonder how I'm going to put up with his stupid attitude.
I might just drive a knife into his chest one night while he is asleep if he gets on my nerves too much.

"So, how are you going to make me and Oliver meet up?" I suddenly asked him,
"You're going to meet him very soon, I'm working towards that already." He answered and I exhaled sharply.
I've been holding myself back from calling Oliver, maybe I should just wait and see how Ricardo handles everything. I wonder how Oliver is going to feel if he finds out that I'm married to another guy. Who knows if he is going to understand me or break up with me? Truth be told, I would be at ease if we broke up, he actually deserves better, I'm sure he wouldn't get tired of meeting up with him in secret. I should just bear my cross of handling Ricardo and leave him out of it.
I would have loved to make things work out between me and Ricardo but he isn't the type of person who would subdue, he is very stubborn and his pride is something else. He has no single regard for me. "But still, you haven't told me where we are headed!" I raised my voice at him.
"You don't have to know and please just stop talking already! Stop it!" He suddenly yells back very loudly at me, making me flinch.
He sounded very angry all of a sudden, did I do or say something wrong?
He suddenly increases the speed of the car, making my heart race.
"Can you slow down a little?" I asked him in a slow voice but he ignored me completely and only increased the car speed the more.
"Ricardo! Are you planning to drive us into our own death? If that's the case, please let me out, you can die alone!" I screamed getting scared already, he was overtaking cars ahead of him and swerving the car recklessly.

"Ricardo! Stop this madness!" I screamed again as my fears increased but he ignored me completely.
I totally forgot that I was now married to a complete nutcase. I didn't want to drag the steering wheel with him or try to stop him myself, it's very dangerous to do that.
Ricardo finally parked the car at one side of the road and I released a deep breath as I tried to calm my nerves. Why did he suddenly act like that? I really got petrified. "Now this is the height of it all, what was that for? Are you..." I stopped talking when I realized how angry he was looking.
His facial expression says it all and the way he tightened his grip on the steering wheel was another evidence that he was releasing heavy breaths too.
I'm obviously not the one who got him this angry, I just didn't notice that he was annoyed before he started the drive.
Now I get the reason why he was ignoring me. But still, that doesn't mean he should drive me into an early grave, he can do that on his own but I'm not ready to die yet. "Fuck!!!" He suddenly hit the steering wheel so hard and I was startled.
He tightened his fists and I could feel how annoyed he was, what could have been the reason for the anger?
He suddenly pulls off his suit jacket and throws it carelessly at the back seat leaving him on just his undershirt.
I dare not ask him what was wrong or the reason why he was angry. He might strangle me to death for real so I just had to remain mute.
My eyes fell on his white undershirt and I noticed some blood stains on it. It didn't look like he got hurt, it was someone else's blood and it was very obvious.
I grew very curious and was tempted to ask him about it but I just had to swallow my questions.
"Don't even try to ask or say anything!" He warned coldly before reviving the car engines and then driving off.
