Him & I (discounted/paused)

The Queen and King

- Roxana -

I thought wedding days were supposed to be the biggest and happiest day of one's life.

I was wrong.

I am standing in the mirror, speechless.

Lace on both of my sides going from my side boob, down my body. Tight enough to make whatever curves I have, show off perfectly. Slit on my right leg, silver heels, red lipstick, simple eyes, hair that falls down my back.

Black dress.

I look beautiful, even I can admit that. But as nice as my teeth look when I smile because of the red lipstick, that smile does not reach my eyes. I knew I would never marry for love, not because of my mafia but because I was simply not capable of it.

I stand up to put my heels on when I hear a knock on the door, telling them to come in

"Black dress?" Luca says in a playful tone.

"Yes"

"Why?"

"Because I am far from pure," I tell him as I stand in front of the mirror, looking at him through the reflection.

"You look beautiful, and if you want me to shoot him in between his eyebrows and start a war to get you out of here, I will Rox," He says, earning a smile from me.

"As much as I love that idea, we both know we would not be able to make it out of here alive, much less kill that indestructible piece of shit out there," I tell him

"Well, then I hope you know black looks much better on you than white does," Luca says, as he reaches for his pocket and pulls out a small box

Before I can ask what it is, he opens it, revealing a beautiful silver necklace with two perfect diamonds hanging from it and putting it around my neck

"I know you miss her Rox, but you are both diamonds, so take this as a reminder that she is here with you today"

"You wanna make me cry?" I tell him, as I turn around to face him

"Never," he says, as he kisses my forehead.

"Let's get you ready shall we? your dad is waiting outside the door"

"Okay," I tell him.

Once we reach the hallway I am met by my father, who is obviously trying to hug me but I dodge him and grab his arm and without looking at him I tell him the only thing I have been thinking about these past 2 weeks,

"I want 30% of every profit made from this day forward."

"What are you talking about Mija?" he says, quietly

"You can't pay in blood for betraying me, you are my father, after all, so you will pay me the only way you can."

"Okay," he says, letting out a sigh of relief when the doors open and we start walking down the aisle.

Weird.

~~~

"We are here today to witness this holy matrimony" The priest begins, making me completely space out.

I am brought back to reality by the priest

"Please put the rings on as you state your vows." he says

"I, Roxana De Leon, take you, Federico Morelli," I say as I start putting the ring on his finger, avoiding his gaze.

"to be my lawfully wedded husband, my constant friend, my faithful partner, and mine from this day forward." I continue, letting out an exhausted sigh. I don't like lying.

"I, Federico Morelli, take you, Roxana De Leon" he begins,

"To be my queen," he says, making me look up to meet his eyes,

"I commit to never leave you, to follow you. For where you go, I shall go, and where you remain, I shall remain. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. Where you die, I shall die and be buried beside you." He concludes, making sure I got his message. I got it loud and clear,

Our mafias are officially joined.

"With the power invested in me, I now pronounce you Mr. And Mrs. Morelli, you may kiss your bride," The priest says, looking at Federico, and before I know it, our lips connect

I instantly return the soft and tender kiss, making sure it's believable for our audience.

I don't know if that is the real reason, or maybe it's because my mind is telling me to go to the bathroom with him for a quickie, I need to get that over with so I can stop feeling the need to fuck him.

When we both finally pull away, Federico grabs my hand and starts making the way down the huge aisle, which is now decorated by white rose petals everyone is throwing in the air.

"You look beautiful," He says, breaking the silence and making me turn my gaze towards him

I eye him up and down, not missing the way he is doing the same.

"You look nice yourself," I respond

When we finally reach the huge double doors that lead us outside, we are met by a white Rolls Royce.

"Let's go," he says, as he opens the door for me.

Just as I was about to thank him, we are interrupted by his phone ringing.

"Si?" he says

"Sei sicuro?" he asks, in a more worried tone this time.

I can't understand shit, it's frustrating.

"Stronzzi" he mutters under his breath and says "Ciao" before hanging up.

He looks worried which is why I turn to look at him with a raised eyebrow, hoping he knows what I am asking.

He let out a long sigh before speaking,

"I just found out what was so off about the contract"
