THE MAFIA’S CAPTIVE ANGEL

Today was the day of the wedding. I was finally getting married to Sin. It feels so surreal, like I can’t believe it. I was a nervous wreck, and there was nothing I could do to ease my nerves. This was a happy occasion, but at the same time I felt scared. I couldn’t wait to call him my husband, and that brought a smile to my face. Right now I was sitting on the bed with Aurelia in my hands, feeding her while I watched her silently. I had already fed Marcello and given him to Sin; he wanted Marcello to dress up with the men.

It’s been two months and three days since I gave birth to them, and I couldn’t be happier looking down at my beautiful baby girl; her blue eyes sparkle just like mine. Her features were like Sin’s; she had his long lashes and brows. I knew she was going to grow up into a beautiful girl. I noticed that she was done, so I stood up from the bed, trying to burp her before putting her down on the bed.

The door opened, and Samantha, Stephanie, and Athena walked in. “It’s time to get you prepped and ready for your big day.” Athena said, closing the door softly behind her so as not to wake Aurelia up.

I smiled at them. They have really been supportive and helpful during the preparation. Athena was even more happy that we were going to be official sisters.

The door opened again, and this time it was the beauticians. They walked in, sending greetings our way, which we gladly responded to.

“You are already glowing without any makeup on.” Stephanie said, smiling at me.

“Thank you.” I say giggles. “How are Nikolai and Marcello?. Do they need anything?”

Samantha smiled. “Father and son are doing great and are getting ready. You need to get ready as well; I don’t want you showing up late.”

Athena walked to the bed, picking up Aurelia as gently as she could so she wouldn’t wake up. “I’m going to take her to my mom. Sara and Amelia are there with her; they can help get Aurelia ready.” I smiled at her as she left the room.

The beauticians began their work. working on my hair, face, and nails. Samantha sat on the bed, flipping through a bridal magazine, while Stephanie typed on her phone, taking pictures every now and then.

I stood up and walked into the closet after getting prepped for an hour. I put on my beautiful white gown with a little bit of gold mixed in; it had lace long sleeves with the flare starting from my hips to the ground. I couldn’t see myself in another gown but this one. I felt like a queen. A smile lit up on my face. I walked out of the closet, and a gasp filled the room.

Samantha goes behind me to help with the zipper. “You look really beautiful, Mani; Nikolai will be mind-blown. I must say, he is one lucky man.” I heard a hint of quiver in her voice.

“Please don’t tell me you are about to cry,” I say, turning to look at her. “If you start crying, then I won’t be able to hold my tears back, which would ruin all their efforts”. I point to the beauticians.

“I’m not going to cry, I promise.” She raised her hands up in a form of surrender.

“I don’t mean to ruin the moment, but there is something missing,” Stephanie’s voice cut in. I looked at her puzzled, wondering what was missing.

I watched her hand in her bag, bringing out a black velvet box. She walked towards me with a smile on her face, pushing the box towards my face. I raised a brow, giving her a questionable look. ” What is this.”

“A gift from yours truly. ” I smiled, taking it from her. I opened it and found a beautiful set of golden necklace and earrings.

A gasp filled the room. “It’s beautiful. ” I said, taking the necklace out of the box. I saw the note inside and l picked it up to read.

‘I got you something fit for a queen, I can’t wait to call you Mrs. Violenta’

Samantha took the necklace from me, putting it around my neck. I took out the earrings, clipping it on my ears.

“He kept pestering me about the design of your wedding gown. I thought he was just curious to know how you look in it but wow, Nikolai really out did himself. ” Samantha says. I smiled and sat on the chair while Stephanie put on my heels. I thanked her and she took a picture of us together. They were also ready as well, they had on a golden dress.

We kept on taking pictures until we heard a knock on the door. Serena’s head popped in, her eyes reached me and the look in her eyes made me feel warm. It was a look of pure happiness and love

She walked over to me, taking a hold of my hand. “You look beautiful dear, I know my son is going to treat you well or he is going to hear it from me.”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

I laughed, shaking my head.” Thanks Serena. ” She compliments Samantha and Stephanie. “It’s time Mani.”

I got up from my seat making my way out of the room with the girls behind me. We walked out of the house to the front of the house where the car was, decorated with flowers and ribbons. Carson stood there with Amelia and Athena. Amelia was holding on to Aurelia, my baby girl had on a beautiful white dress.

I walked over to them, hugging the three of them. I turn to look at Carson with a grin on my face. His expression was sad and happy.

“You look like a beautiful princess” He says pecking my forehead. “I wish your parents were here to witness this wonderful occasion and see how big their daughter has grown but I know they are watching from up there in heaven with a proud smile on their faces.” He tells me and I nod, trying not to cry. “You are like a daughter to me, the minute I took you in those years ago, we considered you ours. I’m happy and honoured to walk you down the aisle. My baby is all grown up” He says, Making me let out a laugh. I fan my face with my hand, trying to stop the tears from falling off my eyes.

We hug again for a moment, before breaking away

“Are you ready, my princess. ” he asks and I nod nervously. Carson opened the door for me to get in before getting in as well. The rest of the family followed behind us as we made our way to the church.

We got to the church in no time, the girls helped me with my gown. We made our way up the stairs of the church stopping at the entrance. Serena and Amelia had already gone in first. Then Samantha, Stephanie and Athena walked in.

I locked my hand with Carson when the door slowly opened. The music erupted inside the room and I felt my heart racing like a hummingbird. I heard people gasping In delight when I stepped in, my entire body was filled with anxiety. They all stood on their feet, waiting for us to walk in.

I look round the church taking in the beautiful decorated view. Hundreds of beautiful pink and red flowers were placed round the altar with white benches. The seats were filled with some familiar faces while the rest, I had no clue who they were. I took in a deep breath with every step we took, getting closer to Sin. I kept my eyes down as we continue walking down the velvet carpet, my hold on Carson’s hand tightened.

I raised my head up to look at Sin when Carson and I stopped walking. I took in his handsome features. His jet black hair was slicked back, he had on an expensive crisp black tuxedo his ice eyes glistened under the light, making my knees weak. his gaze fell on me with his lips curved into a smile.

My beautiful Italian Mafia king. He was looking breathtakingly gorgeous.

Carson held my hand, passing it to Sin warm hands and l felt the chills erupt in my body. Carson kissed my cheek ” Take care of her. you hurt her, I’m going to hunt you down .”

Sin smiled, answering him. ” i promise to always love and cherish her. ” They both shook hands before Carson left to go take his seat . I looked over at the direction Carson had walked into and saw Serena holding Marcello. She smiled at me, waving his small hand towards me. I laughed turning to face Sin, who had his eyes on me.

The priest started but I couldn’t hear a word he said because I was too busy gazing at this beautiful man In front of me. I blushed when his eyes stayed in mine, not backing down or looking elsewhere but me. It was like he was in a trance, his face refused to leave my face and the smile on his lips couldn’t be washed off.

“Do you, Nikolai Violenta, take Normani Parker to be your lawfully wedded wife, for better or worse. For riches and for poorer, in sickness and in health till death do you apart. ”

“Yes I do. ” Sin said, putting the ring in my finger, grinning at me. I could see the look on his eyes that promised to have his wicked ways with me once the wedding was over.

The priest turned towards me. “Do you, Normani Parker, take Nikolai Violenta to be your lawfully wedded husband, for better or worse. For richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health till death do you apart. ”

“Yes, I do” I responded, putting the ring in his finger with a smile on my face

” by the power vested on me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss you… ” I jumped a little when Sin lips smashed against mine, cutting the priest off. His arms wrapped around my waist and mine around his neck, chuckling against my lips, as he deepens the kiss.

I heard cheers and yells around us. Sin refused to break apart from me, making them cheer even louder. His strong hand lifts me up a little, spinning me around and I squeal against his lips.

He sets me back down, his hands still held onto my waist. We both had a smile on our faces, staring into each other’s eyes.

“Congratulations to you two ” The priest says, smiling lovingly at us.

We nodded at him in appreciation before turning to face the crowd. Everyone was on their feet, clapping their hands. I turned to look at the girls,

Samantha was beside Alexander, Stephanie beside Luca and Athena was with Mateo. Luca had told Stephanie everything the week I had given birth. Stephanie was beyond pissed at us, she didn’t want to talk to us. We had betrayed her trust. She ended things with Luca and we thought that was the last time we would ever see her because she went MIA for weeks.

When she came back, we girls had a talk. We cried our hearts out and settled things between us. She has just recently forgiven Luca a month ago and they were back together even stronger than before while Athena hasn’t told anyone in the family about Lorenzo apart from us girls. She wanted to keep it that way at least for now.

I smiled at the girls, happy and they instantly smiled back, a smile on their face. Sin held my hand and we both walked down the aisle together with flowers being thrown at us. Sin leaned down to whisper to my ear. ” Can I have you now.”

I giggle. “Not yet husband”

” Husband” He chuckles, looking at me lovingly.” I like the sound of that. “
