Betrothed To The Mafia Lord

Chapter 335

Blair’s pov

Despite how much I had tried to convince him that I could make my own way home and didn’t need him

to take me home, he kept on insisting and here I was in his car that probably caused millions of dollars.

I squirmed in the psssenger’s seat and felt really embarrassing because he was definitely going to see

the place where I stayed.

He had still not started his car yet, and when I glanced at him, I realized that he was writing something

on a couple of papers. On noticing my stare, he began to speak. “I’m just sighing my part of the papers,

I’ll be done in a few moments.”

I remained silent because I was wondering how that was any of my business, but then he was handling

the papers to me after a few moments and I was blinking at him in confusion.

“Go through it and put in your signature.” He explained and i spluttered. “Why the hell do I have to go

through it? What’s it to me?”

“You might as well go through it instead of asking me all these.” Was his response and i huffed in

irritation as I glanced at the papers. I began to go through it, and the more I read, the more my eyes

widened, and the more the color left my cheeks.

“This is a… a promissory letter?” I spluttered while still reading through the papers.

“It’s a promissory slip, yes.” He responded and I glanced at him instantly.

“I’m not freaking running away, I’m going to pay you all what I owe you.” I said to him while waving the

papers in his face.

“You kept mentioning about how you had no money, it made me have doubts, so I had my lawyer draw

this up super fast.” He responded and I felt more color left my cheeks.

“Your lawyer is involved in all these?” I demanded and he rolled his eyes.

“Stop sounding so shocked, if it were you, you’d have involved more than one lawyer.”

“It can’t even be me because there’s no way I’d be wearing a suit as expensive as that, it’s a freaking

suit and not a house.” I bristled out but he only rolled his eyes.

“It’s designer, also whatever. Sign the papers already, you’re wasting my time right now.”

“I asked you to let me go on my own, that way, you won’t have to waste your precious time.”

“And have you run away? I think not.” He said with a small chuckle and I felt a little guilty color fill my

face, of course he was fast enough to have figure out that I had been planning on running away if I had

left the hospital on my own.

“Now sign the papers already and quit wasting my time.” He reminded me again.

“Do we really have to do this? I promise you I’m going to pay you back.” I tried once again.

“You still need to sign that, Blair.” He responded and I scowled at him as I hastily signed the papers and

shoved it back at him.

Once he had packed the papers in an envelope, he started the car and glanced at me.

“Now, where do you reside at?”

James’ pov

On arriving at her street, I felt my mouth turn in a straight displeased line at how poor the streets

looked, and when she finally pointed at an apartment, I stopped the car before glancing at her.

“This is where you reside?“

She sneered. “I can literally see the judgement on your fave right now. What? This place is too poor for

you? Well, it’s where I reside at, so deal with it.”

I blinked at her in confusion, feeling completely taken aback.

“You had better don’t get all mouthy with me.” I snapped back. “You don’t even sound greatful, I literally

took you to the hospital when you fainted!”

“I was grateful, until I heard I also had to pay the hospital bills, and the rest of the prize on the papers I

had signed, so yeah, I’m not grateful, uh-”

“It’s James.” I supplied helpfully. “Also, I should have just left you after you had fainted.”

“I think dying would have been so much better than me now having almost a hundred thousand dollars

debt to pay back.” She responded in a cold voice, and that was when it hit me that she actually

honestly believed I was being serious about wanting to get paid back.

“You had better don’t die for now, at least wait until you settle me off completely.” I finally responded,

when what I had wanted to say was to ask her a lot of questions about how she was fairing.

“Yeah, whatever. So, can I go now?” She asked after scowling at me for a few seconds.

“Of course not,” I responded calmly.

“Why not?!” Her eyes were narrowed inquirely.

“I have to come with you?”

“Why?”

“To know the exact room you stay, so you won’t be able to run away.” I responded calmly and watched

as she regarded me like she wanted to slap me.

——

On arriving at the room she called her door, I stopped her from going in and then I began to speak.

“Because I’m a gentleman and also because I feel like you might have some other more urgent debts

to settle for now, my own payments can wait for now.”

Her eyes lit up beautifully. “Oh my gosh, really?”

I hummed. “Yeah, but you have to see me at least once a week, so I’d be sure you’re not forgetting

about the agreement and have the thought of paying me back at the back of your mind.”

“Oh, that could work, where should we meet?”

“At any restaurant of my choice, I’d always come pick you up. Every Saturdays, right p.m.” I spoke

calmly as each words popped into my head.

“Why do we have to meet at a restaurant? We could meet at any other place but that.” She responded

with a purse of her lips. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“You literally don’t have a choice now, we meet at any fucking restaurant and you must be ready before

I get here.” I paused and closed the distance between us a little. “If I come by and find out you’re not

here or you refused to come with me, then be prepared to hear from my lawyer… and I’m sure you

don’t want that, because I assure you that there'd be so much damages fee to be paid.

She gulped emptily but remained silent.

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

I was getting into my car and about to drive home when I got a call from Luca, and before I could even

speak, he was already saying, “Our Condo got blown up last night.”
