Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 76

Sofia’s POV

Once he had given me permission, I proceeded to ask him if I could have a room for myself, for paintings and the like, to avoid messing up anyplace apart from the room I’d be given.

I had also been surprised when he didn’t try to argue with me and had just accepted and informed me that he’d give me a room downstairs.

I puffed out a small breath, a tiny smile playing across my face as I started to turn back around and make my way up the stairs. Once I got up the stairs, I pushed the bedroom door open and got into it before pushing the door close behind me and wincing a little when it had closed way too loudly behind me.

I patted my pants pockets for my phone and felt my heart skip a beat on finding my pockets empty. I glanced around the room and quickly glanced towards the bed side table of my side of the bed to find the table empty of my phone. I quickly started to rack my brains before remembering that my phone was on one of the couches in the sitting room, and that I had left it there I had wanted to go to Luca’s office to ask him for permission…

I rubbed my fingers against my eyes and used it to press a little on a spot on my forehead when I felt that particular spot start to pound and vibrate a little. I made my way into the walk-in closet when the sun changed into a gown in order to go shopping for some painting equipment.

There were a lot of things I had been brought up with, which I couldn’t for the life of me, being myself to shake off.

Like for example, I knew someone who wasn’t into this kind of life I was currently living, might have been able to leave the house in a Jean pants and a top, but I couldn’t… because throughout my childhood days, each time it was time for me to go out, I was always asked to change into something else, like a gown or something else that would look less casual that a top and pants.

I pushed the gowns hanging off a straight wooden hanger in the closet, moving the gowns around absentmindedly and wandering once again, why all the gowns were so short and small and revealing.

I chewed on the lower part of my lips, squinting a little at the gowns as I moved my fingers through the soft silky materials of the gown, trying to pick the longest gown of them all.

The most longest gown turned out to be a blue dress which I pulled out immediately and held it up against my body. I turned the cloth around and my mouth dropped the moment my eyes landed on the back of the gown. The back of the gown wasn’t there one bit, it was backless and the gown only had a single strip of rope running around her back. The front of the gown was also way too revealing and I grimaced imagine discomfort, wandering once again, why my mother and her sisters had thought it was a great idea for them to get me clothes this revealing, when I hadn’t ever in my entire life, worn something half as revealing as this.

I moved a little to the other side of the hanger, running my fingers through the gown and trying to pick out a more suitable gown. I pulled out and returned gowns after gowns, shaking my head and staring at some of the clothes with disgust and disdain.

I finally settled on a small piece of gown which I guessed was going to be stopping at some inches upwards from my thighs. The gown was a black colored gown and it was long sleeved, with a turtleneck, which was like the most decent looking gown in the closet.

I took the gown and headed towards the mirror where I pulled off my top and dropped it on the floor beside my feet. I stared down at my feet, and then at my chest which had a bra wrapped around it, right before I unbuttoned my jeans pants and pushed the piece of material off my hips, down my thighs to pull my feet out of, one at a time.

I stood before the mirror in my underwear and stared at myself for a few more seconds, glancing at the small curve of my waist and the slight flare of my hips. I picked up the black gown and started to wear it, shoving my head into the gown and pulling it down to shove my arms through it, and to finally pull it down my hips and thighs.
