CHAPTER 11
ISLA'S POV
I stared at the marriage certificate again, I could not believe I was married to Leonardo De Luca officially. It still made no sense to me and at this point, I am patiently waiting for my alarm clock to ring and wake me out of this dream.
The whole thing had happened so fast, a proposal and a marriage in just one day. It's just so crazy. I stole a glance at Leonardo who was focused on driving.
He had not said anything to me since we left the court and I hated the eerie silence between us. My eyes linger more on his face and I let out a deep sigh.
I had no idea how I would tell him I was hungry and needed to eat something before I died of hunger. It would be a waste if I dropped dead on the first day of our marriage.
"Can you stop staring at me? It's disturbing" he answered and I let out a scoff.
How did he know I was staring at him? I tried not to get caught though.
"I skipped breakfast," I muttered. He was silent and only took a quick glance at me before letting out a sigh.
"We will drop at the nearest cafe" he answered coldly without sparing me a glance and I nodded.
My hands rumbled off my bag as I brought out my phone. I took a picture of the marriage certificate and forwarded it to my best friend Lisa.
"Guess who got married to the devil today?" I texted and waited patiently for her to explode.
She is going to be so mad at me for doing something so crazy and nag me for the rest of the week but I just can't hide anything from her.
"Don't tell me you posted that on your Instagram page or something?" Leonardo's voice cut through the silence and dragged me out of my thoughts.
What did he just say? And why do I feel like he is mocking me?
"No, I did not" I bantered, malice laced in my voice and he chuckled lightly.
"Ha really? My bad… I thought you had no private life since you post everything on Instagram" he argued and I frowned.
I had no idea he could be such a pain in the ass. What? I have nothing private in my life. Who told him that?
I was just about to argue back with him when my phone rang. I had already known who was calling so I picked up the call immediately.
"Isla Romano! Are you kidding me?" My besties scolded me and I chuckled.
"I will call you babe. I can't talk right now, bye" I ended the call even before she responded.
I would hear her nag later, not now.
"You have a boyfriend?" Leonardo asked and I scoffed.
"No I don't? Why?" I asked as he parked the car in front of a cafe.
"I don't want a sandal" he answered and stepped out of the car.
This dude leaves me aghast every single time.
A sandal? Is he kidding me now?
*********************************************
Immediately we got out of the car, we parted ways. He told me to head in and have lunch and promised to pick me up in the next fifteen minutes.
I didn't bother to ask him why and what he was up to and immediately went into the cafe and had my lunch. In a few minutes, he was back as he had promised and I got into the car and we headed back.
"Coffee?" I asked as I handed him the half cup of coffee. I didn't remember to get a cup of coffee from him and was just trying to be nice but as I expected he completely ignored me.
"The back seat, there is a bag" he answered insisted and I scoffed.
I turned to the back and there was indeed a small shopping bag sitting beautifully there. I had no idea what it was but I guess I would soon find out.
"What about it?" I asked as I picked up the bag.
"Open it" he instructed and I followed. I opened the bag and took out the small box in it.
My brows knotted in frowns as I took a glance at him before opening it. I was surprised to see the most beautiful piece of jewelry sitting in it.
"A diamond ring?" I murmured as I admired its beauty.
"Who are they for?" I asked.
"Tsk, are you dumb? Isn't it obvious? Who else got married to me??" He ranted and I just couldn't believe my ears.
Did he just call me dumb? What?
Leonardo must be fucking kidding me right now! Just because he is a mafia lord who can take my life whenever he pleases doesn't mean he could push me to the wall.
That rude bastard just doesn't know how to address anyone!
"Dumb? Excuse me? Are you joking right now?" I protested but he completely ignored me.
"Just put the damn ring on your finger and stop talking. You really can't shut up right? I hate it when people are too noisy" he uttered rudely and for the first time in my life, I was speechless.
"Rude" I muttered but he completely ignored me like I was invisible.
I let out a deep breath trying to calm down and let it slide but the more I tried the more angry I got.
I placed the ring on my finger and it fit perfectly and with that, I was able to forget about everything he had said.
In less than ten minutes we were at Leonardo's apartment. I had already taken everything I would be needing for at least two months before coming to his place.
He packed the car at the garage and headed straight inside leaving me to carry my load inside myself.
I never expected him to help because I knew he was a jerk. I was tired and needed to sleep so I didn't argue with him about it.
I stepped into the living room and I gaped in awe. It was a very beautiful sight to behold, nothing but quality taste and luxury.
From the expensive furniture to the opulent decor and the beautiful artwork on the wall. One could tell how rich he was.
"You live alone?" I asked and he chuckled.
"Why? Are you scared?" He asked his voice husky, sending chills down my spine.
