When I was finally ready, Vicki picked out a red dress with lace around the neck area. My dress hugged my body from every part and had a slit from my knees downward. My hair was put in a low bun while allowing some strands to fall on my face. My red hair looked darker than ever. After the hair and makeup, which was nicely done, a smoky eye with a red lipstick made me daring and ready to go.
" You definitely look hot. Too bad I don't swing the other way, but damn girl..." Vicki said, smiling at me, " I'm so sure you're going to blow his mind away."“Thanks to you.” I said, smiling. “ Though I doubt I'll be blowing anyone's mind out.”" I'm definitely sure you would. You still haven't told me the name of the guy yet," she said, shoving me little. " like seriously, you had a whole week to tell me about the marriage but decide to tell last night” She sighed dramatically.“ I know, I'm sorry. I just needed a moment to wrap my head around it and get used to the idea of getting married to a total stranger. "" I get it, but you need to tell me the details when you get back. Love you babe," she said."Love you too, thanks again for the transformation," I called back to her departing figure, stopping her on her track ."No mention babe, you are a natural beauty," she said. "talk to you later."I grabbed my phone and other necessities. I slipped into my silver stilettos and stopped to check myself in the mirror. I was pleased with what I saw before walking out of the room.The ride to our destination was filled with uncomfortable silence and I refused to say a word. Even when my mom gushed about how beautiful I looked, all I could manage to do was grumble out a "thank you". To say I was nervous was an understatement. I couldn't help but wonder who he was and what he looked like. Even when given his picture, I still couldn't bring myself to look at it.My internal conflict was interrupted when my father announced our arrival, and I turned to look out the window and was astounded by what I saw. Calling it a house is an understatement. I know our house was more like a mansion, but this tops it all. It's more of a castle as it stood tall, skinny and freakishly beautiful.The chauffeur came to take my dad's car. We were directed towards the entrance of the house when the door was opened by a lady in her sixties. She had grey hair and a loving smile, which was so welcoming." Hello, you must be the Dewitt's. I'm Selena. Please do come in." "She said as a smile grazed her face." Thank you so much, Selena," my mum replied, and my dad nodded at her in acknowledgement, while my brother and I smiled at her.She directed us to a huge room, which I assume must be the sitting room. We sat, declining her offer of any refreshment because I might throw up due to nervousness.We turned to the direction of the stairs when we heard lightly footsteps coming down, a woman almost the same age as Selena came to view, she looked kind of familiar but I couldn't pinpoint where I say her from and I shrug it off due to nervousness which kept on building up due to suspense" Ariella, it's so nice to see you again," my mum said, standing up to hug her like they were long-lost friends.I assumed to be Mrs. Reeves, answered with a smile that reached her eyes. She turned to my dad, pulling him into a hug, which he accepted with a smile also on his face. That shocked me because I've never seen my dad like this except with family. I turned to my brother just to know if he could also see what I was seeing or if my eyes were playing tricks on me, but my brother didn't seem shocked like I was, instead he looked so happy.Okay, hold on, what the hell is going on here because I seem to be missing something.I couldn't help but think that they were keeping something from me, and all I could do was wonder what it was.We were ushered to the dining room for dinner after saying our pleasantries to Ariella, which included my brother receiving bone crushing hugs and Ariella complimenting me on how beautiful I looked.The dinner was awkward.Well, at least for me, because everyone seems to be having fun except for me, as I battle with myself while picking on my food. Though delicious, I still couldn't stop thinking about what this marriage might bring and how unprepared I am, only joining in on the conversation when directed to me." I'm so sorry that Giovanni couldn't attend Dinner with us, he had to attend a meeting in Italy and won't be back till three weeks from now, he sent his apology." Ariella said with an apology smile on her face." I understand, I'm sure the meeting was important," my mum said, softly smiling at her." So let's talk about the wedding. When is it going to be?" my dad asked, making my heart beat faster than I could ever imagine." Oh, I talked to Giovanni this morning since he couldn't be around and he was okay with it being on the 25th of this month, which is three weeks from now," Airline gushed. " I'm a little sad that the two won't be able to meet before the wedding," she said with a little pout.And the conversation continues after getting my confirmation, as if I had a choice to begin with. I just want this dinner to be over.After getting home, I went straight up to my room, ignoring anyone's attempt to talk to me, taking off my damn dress (I was angry, so I couldn’t careless about a dress ) and got into an oversize t-shirt and shorts, which I love more.I finally plopped into my bed, remembering everything that had just happened a few hours ago and the fact that I would be getting married three weeks from now.Ugh!Great!just great.There won't be any engagement party according to Adeline due to the fact that my so-called husband is too busy to even have the time, so I was given an engagement ring, which was also a family heirloom passed down from generations. It is huge and very breath-taking and definitely causes millions.My phone rang, snapping me out of my thoughts, not bothering to check who was calling."What?" I said, and immediately pitied the person at the receiving end."Whoa whoa, what got your pants in a twist?" my best friend replied, lifting my spirits.“ I'm sorry Vicki, I'm just not in
I was awoken by the bright ray of sunshine on my face, and I groaned loudly when I realized I didn't put the curtains down before going to bed.Now that I was awake, I couldn't help but think how my life was over since it was my wedding day. I decided to freshen up and wait for the makeup artist and those involved in getting me ready.The makeup artist had done an amazing job on my face, and even my gown couldn't look more beautiful and stunning, but I couldn't bring myself to be happy, even a tiniest bit.After getting ready, I was left alone in the room.The wedding was taking place at the Reeves family Church and the reception was at the Hill's Hotel, which happens to be one of the biggest hotels, and I didn't expect less since they were all against my idea of having a quiet wedding.My mum and Adeline wanted the best of the best for me.I was interrupted by a soft knock on the door." Hey munchkin," my brother said, walking into the room with a smile that I was sure made girls mel
It was finally time for me to go in as the song, "Can't Help Falling in Love with You," was played. I locked my hands with my father before we marched down the aisle with my face down.Unknowingly, I clenched tighter into my dad's arm and only when I felt his warm hand on mine did I look at his side and realize what happened.After whispering " I love you" and hugging me once more, I was handed over to my husband.I had been avoiding any form of contact with him, but when I finally looked at him, I did a double take. I was beyond stunned. Victoria's description did him no justice. He had the most intense blue eyes that I had ever seen and a firm jawline. His chest gave a new definition to broad and his suit fitted him perfectly in every area, and for a moment I wondered how he looked without a shirt.He was beautiful.I know it sounds weird when you call a man beautiful, but I was at a loss for words to describe him.I gave him a small smile, but instead I was met with his emotionles
It was silence on the trip from the hotel to his place. I continue to stare out the window, trying to take in the vista of New York City on this beautiful, sunny day.Giovanni breaks the silence near the halfway point of the trip by saying, "You'll meet my son later."I look his way as a result of that.“He had intended to go to the wedding but was prevented from doing so by a school trip.” He claimsI grimaced. Son? That surprises me. I was unaware that Giovanni had one. From what Vicki told me about Giovanni, I recall that neither she nor my parents or his mother mentioned having a son. That is very unusual to me.“ I requested that your parents and my mother not tell you.” He added, as if he knew what was going through my head, "I wanted to be one to tell you.”Why didn't they inform me about something this crucial? Instead, I started by asking, "Is he back now?"Giovanni nods. “ Yes, and he is extremely pleased to meet you”.Due to the fact that I will be residing with them, I made
I was shown to a large room with a magnificent view of the garden by Giovanni. It appeared stronger and more like Giovanni's. Still following him, I said, "Excuse me," as I entered the room further.Giovanni showed me to a large room with a magnificent vista of the garden but the more I looked round the room the more it appeared be muscular and more of Giovanni's taste."hmm, Excuse me," I said as we walked further into the room. my eyes widened when I saw my beauty essentials already placed on the desk. “ Why are my things here, you ask?” I asked Incredulously.Giovanni turned to look at me with a sly smirk on his face. He tilt his head as his smirk stretched. “ What....” I could see the amusement in his face and could tell he takes pleasure in seeing me become irritable. “ Yesterday was an exception, "I see no reason why we shouldn't share a room since we are husband and wife."“ Well bravo to you, you know how to crack a joke. I don’t see us that way and I don’t plan on staying in
Although irritated, I still followed her. I still wasn't prepared to deal with that haughty, domineering man, but I was terribly hungry and I needed food like now. When we arrived at the dining room, Giovanni was already there with Alexander. When he notices me, the boy's face cheers up and a broad smile begins to form on his lips and my mood is somehow lifted by the sight. I gave Alexander a gentle smile and sat down next to him with Giovanni sitting across from me who appeared upset about our brief argument earlier today.Suddenly, i feel a resurgence of my anger. What precisely did he anticipate? Despite the fact that we are married, I cannot just share the same room as him. It's best to ignore him. I think to myself, letting out a sigh.Our dinner, fried pasta with chicken, was served by a maid and i was unable to help but drool at the sight of the meal because it was so delectable, which may also serve as a diversion from Giovanni.We three sat down to dine in silence until Giova
Vicki called to cancel, so our plan fell through. Apparently, something came up with her secret boyfriend whom she refused to tell me about and I didn't have time to question her about it. So we decided to catch up another time.Since I was essentially jobless, I spent my time going around Facebook and Instagram, watching amusing Instagram videos to pass the time, but I ended up dozing off in the process.The soft knocking on the door jolted me out of my sleep. "Roy, may I enter?" From the other side of the door, Alexander's voice could be heard." Come in," I said, sitting up on my bed and the door opened with Alexander walking in."Hey, little man.""Hi Roy," he said, climbing onto the bed to sit beside me.“ How was school today?""It was fine, we had outdoor activities today, so we went to the park," he said excitedly." Really, did you enjoy yourself?" I said in a cheerful voice and he nods.“ I had a lot of fun. I love school. "" I also did like going to school but I doubt not
Something heavy was constricting me, causing me to open my eyes and be welcomed by the beautiful features of Giovanni’s face close to mine. When I looked down, I noticed that his hand was on my waist, mine on his too, his foot crossed over mine, and his front touched mine.His body was so close to mine that there was no room between us, and my cheek started to warm up at this.Then, as fast as these giddy feelings hit me, they were gone.Wait a freaking minute! Why am I here?Alexander and I were both sleeping off on the couch in the cinema room, so how did I get here? I couldn’t possibly walk to his room because that would be so embarrassing.My breath hitched, and I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt Giovanni's hand start to move around my body. My eyes widen, and I turn to peek at him and discover that he is still asleep.His hand was perilously close to mine tits, then he did it, cupping my breast and began caressing it. I bit my lower lip and groaned. It didn’t help that I w
