Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18

Third Attempt

The day of our third attempt at our wedding ceremony was a bright and sunny day. I woke up feeling as

lazy as ever and the way that Hayden yawned told me that he probably felt the same. He ran his

fingers through his blond hair and made a face like he couldn’t be bothered. It was a Saturday, and I

was sure that he wanted to sleep in more than going to the church for our wedding ceremony.

It was strange to exchange vows with a man who was already my husband. However, we both knew

better than to make a scene about it. The faster we went through with this, the sooner it would be over,

and we could move on with our lives. Just as I had agreed with Hayden, we wanted to keep the

ceremony very simple by doing only the basic and required things. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“At least I get to wear the wedding dress that you got tailored for me and we can take nice photos

together,” I said with a smile.

“Yeah…” Hayden replied sleepily.

I watched as he stretched before he slowly got out of bed. Slowly, I got out of bed while praying silently

inside my head for this wedding to end without any surprising incidents. When we arrived at the same

church, security was so tight that it looked like a mini warzone. Too many men were on guard, and they

were probably too heavily armed too judging by the huge guns that they were carrying. I sincerely

hoped that uninvited guests won’t turn up because violence would ensue for sure.

Unlike the time before, there was absolutely no privacy in the dressing room. Three men stood guard in

front of the room and another three stood guard inside my dressing room. This was probably Ethan’s

idea. On top of that, Luka was there with me to act as the final layer of security. Now if only the men

could apply my make up and do my hair as well, that would be the most perfect thing ever.

“You look really pretty. Hayden is going to be so surprised to see you,” Luka said with a broad smile

after I was done dressing up.

“You think so?” I asked before returning his smile.

“Of course. Welcome to the family,” Luka affirmed with certainty.

I flashed him one last smile before he led me out of the room. Within a few minutes, I would be walking

down the aisle to exchange my vows with Hayden. A sigh of relief escaped my lips when I realized that

I won’t be kidnapped this time around. I hadn’t known that I was feeling a little on edge until that

moment. Immediately, I tried to shake all negative thoughts from my head to focus on the wedding

before me. Since we’re going through this anyways, we might as well have a good time and create

good memories while we’re at it.

“Please be on standby here,” Luka instructed me as he continued to stand by my side.

Because I didn’t have any family members left, there was no one to walk me down the aisle. At first, I

wanted to walk alone but the boss had offered to escort me. I was scared to have him escort me at

first, but I could see the generosity behind his action.

“You look very beautiful. Chin up and smile for the camera. Don’t worry about anything. Even if you trip

and fall, I’ll catch you,” the boss told me reassuringly before he started laughing loudly.

It was just like the boss to be able to make jokes in all circumstances as long as he was in a good

mood. I turned and smiled at him before I nodded in acknowledgement.

“Shall we?” the boss asked.

“Yes, thank you…” I replied.

The door in front of us opened and I was temporarily blinded by the bright light that shone on us. I

guess the boss did not approve of my plan to cut the lighting and decorations. The band played the

classical wedding march and suddenly, it really felt real that I was getting married. There were so many

people in the church. Managers of the gang and the boss’s guests that I don’t recognize. Just as the

boss had advised, I kept my chin up and my gaze straight forward. It wasn’t hard at all, when my eyes

rested on my groom.

Hayden looked even more like a prince than always. That didn’t make me feel like I was a princess in

any way, though. This normal woman is going to finally marry her devilish prince, was the thought that

ran through my head. He smiled at me, and I smiled back. Camera flashes flashed multiple times

during my walk down the aisle, but nothing mattered to me anymore. My attention was solelt focused

on Hayden and the future that we would share after this.

Surprisingly, I didn’t feel too nervous, and my hands did not tremble. I smiled at Hayden when I finally

stood by his side. The person who looked the most nervous at that point was the old priest standing in

front of us. The wedding vows went by smoothly just like it had been scripted. I didn’t find the vows to

be particularly romantic and it did not truly stir up any sentimental feelings within me. It was just…

standard…

I turned to offer my lips to Hayden for a ceremonial kiss and he took it in a soft and tender kiss. The

crown exploded into loud cheer around us. It’s finally done. Finally, the ceremony is over, and we can

move on with our lives towards our future. Just when I thought that everything was over and done with,

Hayden smiled down at me as his arm around my waist refuse to let me go. Now this wasn’t part of the

script. My eyes widened at him questioningly. Now’s the time that we’re supposed to be done with this

part of the main ceremony, so I had no idea what he was doing now.

“Listen…” Hayden whispered close to my ear.
