Chapter 5 The wedding

He was planning to destroy you,

To forget that for that to happen I have to start with destroying myself.

.....................................................

Mr Giordano had a bright smile on his face as he looked into his son's serious eyes.

Proud to call him his son.

"Vincenzo my son you have made me the happiest man alive today. Roussou will be so happy to get this news!"

Of course that bastard will be ,after all his plan just got successful.

If David thinks he won this,he should think again for Vincenzo Accardi dosen't offer success on silver platter.

"You must have liked his daughter,she is such a sweet and caring child! Wait let me tell your mom! She will be so happy!"

His father's happiness was making him question his decision.

If he goes ahead with this there will be no looking back.

"You liked her, isn't it Vince? Finally my boy likes a girl!!"

His father didn't wait for his answer and just went to celebrate.

Alex stood behind him with mouth open.

While Vince loosened his tie and fell back on the king sized bed.

"Man are you serious? What the hell are you doing?"

Alex said shouting at him as soon as Mr Giordano left the room.

"Just lower your fuck*** voice for I will hate to put a bullet through your head to shut your mouth!"

Alex sighed sitting next to him on his duvet.

His eyes staring into his cold ones, trying to get his answers.

Minutes passed and Alex finally decided to break the ice.

"You liked her? Like seriously? She is rude and arrogant and a spoiled daddy's girl!"

"Well that's what people say about her?

People call me a murderer as well but have I ever killed someone who is innocent?"

"But-"

"Shut it Alex I am not in the mood"

"You are planning something I know it.

Love and you ,not possible! The idea itself is bizarre."

"Tell me man I know you enough to know you have something else in mind!"

Vince got up from the bed and poured himself a glass of whiskey.

Sighing he closed his eyes while resting his head on the sofa.

"David wants to trick dad using his daughter as a tool.

He wants me to marry her ,fall in love with her and make me do as he pleases"

Alex's eyes widened as he joined his friend and poured himself a glass as well.

"And?"

"And things will go accordingly"

"Vince are you serious! It's too dangerous! That girl can be dangerous,how can you trust her?"

"I don't"

"You are going to marry her but you don't trust her?"

"She is something Alex"

Vince said while running his hand on his jaw where she slapped him yesterday.

He could still feel the warmth of it.

"Yes she is,a manipulator,a gold digger,a backstabber!!"

Vince again smiled at this and patted his friends back.

"Agreed but still she has that fire which attracts me to her.I have never met a girl like her,she is fierce like a lioness and my beast is very eager to tame her."

Alex looked disappointed.

His hands running through his hair.

"See man you are already attracted to her! she will play you on her fingers Vince! use your brain!!"

"She will be my wife coming Friday, I will make her fall for me.

So hard that let alone her father she will defy this whole world for me. And then will I play my master stroke.

David Rousseau key will be in my hands and I will destroy him!"

Alex sat back placing one leg over the other.

His drink swirling in the glass.

"And what if she does not fall in love with you?"

Vincenzo's gaze hardened on him as he tighened his jaw.

"She will and that to very soon."

"And what if you fall in love with her?"

Vincenzo's grip tightened on the glass as he glared at his friend with raw anger.

"Vincenzo Accardi can never fall in love"

With this the glass broke under pressure of his grip and it's pieces got scattered around on the floor.

....

He stood in the alter with a white tuxedo adoring his perfect frame.

The wait was killing him and he just wanted this ceremony to end.

Bored he looked around to see the entire place decorated with beautiful flowers.

Guests chatting around and waiting patiently for the bride to arrive.

The only person who did not look happy was his mother.

She was against this marriage since day one.

On knowing that Alessa belonged to a mafia family,she has straightforwardly rejected her without even meeting her.

Vincenzo loved his mother alot but he also knew of her habits quite well.

When she loves someone,she does it with her everything and the vice versa applies for hate as well.

There are few handful of people she dislikes,but when she does no one can change her opinion.

She can say whatever comes to her mind without a care of anything.

Her smile was dull as she welcomed the guests,just obeying Mr Giordano's orders.

His thoughts got interrupted when he saw the veiled figure stepping inside.

Her white dress trailed behind her,a bunch of flowers held in her hands and her face veiled behind a white net.

She wore a neck high wedding dress showing least of her skin.

Making him approve it in his mind.

He hates his women showing skin to other men.

His gaze shifted to that smirking face of David and he cringed in distaste.

How much he hated seeing this man.

She stood next to him and the wedding vows started.

His eyes transfixed on her as she continued staring on the ground shyly.

Unknown to all , behind the veil were trails of her salty tears.

Eyes red from crying.

Her hands were shaking as well which she was trying her best to hide.

"I do"

Her voice came out firm even though she was shaking from inside.

Everything else a blur to her as she felt numb to react to anything.

Only when a strong grip held her shaking hands did she looked up.

His touch gentle in contrast to his stoic face.

His eyes were fixed on her as he gently lifted the veil and pulled her closer from her waist.

Her shaking hands to land on his hard chest as she refused to meet her husband's stare.

"Look up Alessa"

Came his authoritative cold voice and she couldn't help abide,not trying to hide the tears that have soaked her long eyelashes.

His thumb caressing her cheeks to clean the salty trail.

Her skin burning under the touch of his warm skin.

"Don't. I promise you will be the happiest women alive as long as Vincenzo Accardi stands by your side."

His words took her by surprise, unable to judge if it was reality or just a show for the public.

What he said was true,he did wish to make her the happiest women alive if only she wished to stand along him and not her father.

She just looked into his eyes,not knowing what to say.

Who to trust and who to betray.

Before she could ponder much on his words,his lips crashed onto her in a promise sealing kiss.

Her hands turning into fists as she stood there in the arms of the man she is destined to destroy.

Not knowing what to do,she just stood there like a doll ,while he explored her to his heart's satisfaction.

What started with a small gentle nibbling on her lips,got turned into a rough dominating kiss which left her short of breath.

Claps echoed around but she stood hypnotized by the magic of his lips.

Her eyes open taking in the beauty of the man stealing her first kiss.

24 years.

She saved it for her husband and today she gave it to him.

With everything else being fake,this kiss felt like the only real thing to her.

His pulled back and offered her a smile that made her knees go weak.

Her hands refusing to leave his collars.

"Welcome to family,

Mrs Alessa Giordano Accardi"

And that was when she melted.

She legally accepted this man to be her soulmate.

Fake or real, Amara was now Vincenzo's wife.
