Bloody Hell

Chapter 21 - The unexpected gift

S I E N N A

Everyone in the Armani household were in a frantic rush to make sure everything was put in place for the wedding.

Matilde instructed the caterers on the dishes that was gonna be served and yelled at someone on the phone to come right now with the wedding cake.

Nico, Franco, Diego and Manuelle where nowhere in sight. They were probably getting ready along with Blade in the downstairs guest room.

While the girls and I got ready in Camilla's room. My phone was taken away from me so I couldn't communicate with Blade or anyone else.

My mom came over a few hours ago to help me get ready. My dad hadn't arrived yet because he needed to sign some important documents. I wasn't bothered by it because I knew he wouldn't miss my wedding.

I'm grateful that my mom is here with me. The emotions that were starting to stir up in my chest was too overwhelming. I took a deep breath so I wouldn't cry and ruin the makeup that this nice lady was doing for me.

I was seated by Cam's dresser in a white robe. My wedding dress was placed in her walk-in closet.

My hair was already styled into a low braided bun with some strands of hair falling to frame my face. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, watching as the lady worked her magic on my face and fixed false eyelashes for me.

In the mirror, I glanced over at Camilla who was getting her makeup done also. Azzurra and Isabel were ready and had on olive green dresses with shoes to match. They looked so pretty as my bridesmaid.

My mom was talking to someone on the phone before she hung up and went over to get my dress.

Everything was gradually falling into place. I can't believe this is happening. I'm finally gonna get married to the man I love. Years ago, I was planning to spend the rest of my life alone because I never believed in love. That changed when Blade came into my life.

It wasn't expected and I hated him at first but later, I grew to love him. He's the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.

"And.... I'm done." The lady said with a wide smile after applying a bright red lipstick to my lips. I looked extremely beautiful. The hair and makeup brought out my blue eyes that's starting to brim with tears.

"Hey, don't cry. Your makeup will get ruined." She whispered and pulled out a white handkerchief from her purse to wipe my tears.

I cleared my throat and said, "I'm sorry. I just.... I just...."

She smiled at me, placing a comforting hand on my shoulders. "It's okay. I understand. You look beautiful. I'm sure when your man sees you, his jaw will drop open in shock at your stunning beauty."

That's definitely gonna be true. I could imagine the look on Blade's face at the altar when he sees me.

I blushed at her words and thanked her as she began to pack up her makeup kit. I stood up from the chair just as my mom stepped out from the walk-in closet with my dress in her hand.

She helped me to put on the dress and stepped back to gaze at me with a watery smile. The girls stopped whatever they were doing and turned to stare at me.

"You look stunning." Azzurra complimented with a wide smile.

"I knew this dress would be perfect for you when I first laid eyes on it." Camilla said, fanning herself with her hands dramatically as she sauntered over to where I stood, admiring myself in the mirror. "I would cry right now but I don't want to ruin my makeup. You look amazing, Sienna. Absolute drool worthy. You've always been a sister to me. I can't wait for you to be part of the Armani family. Blade is really lucky to have you."
