Arranged Dominant Love novel Chapter 43

Arielle

"Stop gawking at your wife, Antonio." Rocco chuckles.

I watch Antonio from our patio they are sitting outside with whiskey bottles and glasses. Their deck is messy with all the scattered stuffs around the ground. The boys seems stress free and this is the first time they've got rid of their elegant suit. They look lot more dashing in shorts and shirtless. My eyes flickers to Angelo and my handsome brother is glaring at Hazel who is unawared about her secret admirer. What is going on in Angelo's mind, he is calm and I can't predict his stoicism about not doing anything to stop Hazel's wedding. Indeed he must have something in mind, Angelo's cunning-I know him well.

The breeze is chilly under the warm whether, the sun is shining dazzlingly in the bluish sky, there aren't any presence of clouds. The entire ambience is cool with silence between the houses it makes me more happy-I love silence and I live in a city. Antonio should take me to remote places often but the devil already stated he have time for shit. I adore to isolate myself from hustle and bustle.

The lunch went well. Now we are sitting in the patio and the guys are talking amongst themselves, their backs are facing us.

"Should we head to the beach?" Bella asks, her voice was loud enough to drag the guys attentions toward us.

"Can I ask what are you ladies up for?" Antonio asks with stitches brows and he has a serious look along with cold voice.

"To the beach." Hazel shrugs dismissively.

"We came to stay at a beach house. You can't expect us to stay coon in this residence." Bella has her hands stick on her hips and she gives Antonio a crooked smile.

"There's some rules, stay within the square, don't drawn." He chuckles. "Most importantly don't chit chat with strangers, I'm talking precisely about boys." He orders with his actual vicious face.

"Don't threaten us. Your rules won't work here. We are in New York." Hazel shrieks.

"Mine could work. I've broken my relations with Marco Ricci but I still go by cognomen, Ricci. Take Antonio's order to consideration and you." He points to Hazel. "You are about to be my sister-in-law, better start dealing with New York's rules." Angelo voice causes me to glare at him in disbelief.

"You don't get to the top by following rules, darling." A wicked smirk embraces my lips and my eyes shifts from Angelo to Antonio. My husband meets my gazes with integral seriousness.

"Am I offending you, husband?" My brows knits together with a smirk on my lips.

"You can't affront me. Not a glimpse." He mutters. "Carry on with your day. One little blunder then expect to see our evil side."

"Have a nice time." I pseudo beam at him.

He gives an amazed and pissed look which makes me giggle. We strides toward the beach. Hazel is holding a bag which she loaded with sunglasses, sunscreens and pareu. Bella has a ball on her hand. The beach not too crowded there are only a little bunch of people striding around.

I can see a group of boys playing volleyball with a bed admist the square. The are shouting and cheering among themselves. We sit under the hut on the sandy shore. The waves are drifting near my feet and I've tasted the feeling of the sea after a long time. It feels good to be here.

"The water is cool." Hazel shivers.

"I can't wait to swim." Bella wears her sunglasses on.

I have a thin white floral dress on, beneath I am wearing a dark blue bikini. The peaces are too small and makes me feel more exposed, I've never where these in public. I just hope I would not feel uncomfortable this.

"Should we?" Hazel is standing in front of me and she points toward the sea. She is already in her swimming clothes.

"Sure." Standing up I take off the slender fabric.

My heart picks a rate when I notice Antonio watching me from a distance-what is he doing here? The guys are approaching toward us, they are all wearing sunglasses and their muscular body makes them appear extremely alluring especially, Antonio. They advance near our hut and Antonio's face is facing mine, even though he is wearing sunglasses I can say he is glaring at me-his smile says all.

"Seems like you ladies are having an amazing time without us." Rocco snaps with lifted brows making the lines appears on his forehead.

"Do we know you? I guess we are living separately." Hazel teases with warning voice.

I sigh and chuckle, "let us alone. Can we be on our own for once?" I gaze at Antonio with a glint in my eyes.

"Let's do this as you want." He grins then turns to the boys, "we are going to have a lot of fun." He motions then they stride away.

"Come on, Arielle. This is the perfect timing if you want to text Antonio's love for you." Bella adds. "We all know he had a past. He needs a better future."

"I don't know his past yet." I mumble. Taking the sunscreen I pour a good amount on my hand then apply it over my body.

"He might tell you someday or maybe not. Still you need to be his future and right now you are going to make him jealous." She grabs the sun cream from my hand.

"Jealous?" My eyes widens then a laugh escapes my lips, "Antonio's not getting jealous of me." I chuckle confusingly. "He said he doesn't love me and he is stubborn."

"Giving it a try won't bite you, Mrs. Giordano." Hazel gazes at me with a supportive look. Somehow I like it when I am called, Mrs. Giordano.

Hazel's falls on the sand and she burst into laughter, the play is much more amazing than I thought. It's fun. Sand spatter over her hair and swimsuit, she discards it with her palm, "the real fun of this game. Falling on the sand." She chuckles.

While playing I spot Angelo and Antonio glaring at me but I don't bother with them. With my entire boldness I try to act normal within their presence, my brother is darting a look full of amusement and my husband looks furious and wary. Looks like Bella's plan is working. Rocco and Ric joins them and from the corner of my eyes I catch them grinning. Isn't this affecting him?

"I'm done playing." Taking some steps backward I flash my eyes toward Antonio then flickers to Jeremy. "Jer, it was nice." He reaches for my hand and places a kiss on it.

"Have the ball." Bella joins. "Are you from New York?"

"Yeah." He nods.

"Have you heard about the Ricci's?" Hazel says in a low pitch.

"The Capo."

Bella smiles, "she is Arielle Ricci known as Mrs.Giordano. Don't try to flirt with her. Now make a perfect smile and stride away then tilt your head to give Ary a grin. She is trying to make her husband jealous." Bella explains and Jeremy seems an intelligent punk.

"Fine. Let's get this done."

Jeremy plays with the ball his hand and walks toward the other boys, reaching halfway he tilts his head and beams at me.

"Wave at him!" Hazel hisses instantly.

I wave a goodbye at him. "Is Antonio watching?" I ask Hazel not looking toward Antonio.

"Yeah. Its working. He looks pissed." Hazel grins as she clasps her hand in excitement.

"If this desirous stuff submerge, you two are going to pay the price." I shake my head with a half smile.

"We got you." Bella grins with a wink.

Hazel has her hand on my shoulder, she smiles at me then we proceed toward the hut near the shore, I tilt my head to get a glimpse of Antonio but he was not there.
