Marriage Sweet Steamy Mafia Dominant Arranged Marriage Betrayal

"Do you, Aurelia Marissa Gianni, take, Judah Alessio Bianco, to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" " I do," I said then zoned out and moved as a robot being controlled by its owner for the rest of the ceremony until it was time to kiss the groom. The cold hard stare and the tight line of my husband's lips were evident enough to tell that this man didn't want to kiss me as much as I didn't want to kiss him. ¶¶¶¶ Aurelia didn't choose this marriage, she didn't want to be married to someone as cold and annoying as Judah, he was supposed to be her sister's fiance.

Aurelia's POV"Beloved, we are gathered here to celebrate the life of the deceased, On behalf of all family and friends, I would like to welcome everyone as we have gathered today to remember the deceased. Your presence here today is an affirmation of your love and support to the family. Thank you for being here. Although the family may not remember every word we share here today, they will remember your presence for the rest of their lives." I blocked out the pastor as he spoke focusing on the casket in front of me, I still couldn't believe that I was at this funeral. It seemed so surreal, I kept waiting for someone to say bring out the cameras, and yell ' surprise' because it was all a prank.Judah pulled me close and wrapped his arm around my shoulder gently, trying as much as possible not to touch my cast, I rested my head on his chest and wept. I felt someone's hand on my back, giving me a soothing rub, I raised my head and looked behind, and Diane gave me a small sad smile. She

Aurelia's POVLucia's eyes widened and she hurried to the door, as she was about to open it, the door slammed open with great force, hitting Lucia and sending her flying across the room."Aurelia, you bitch, what did you tell Judah when he called you? What clue did you fucking give him?" He grabbed me by my hair and dragged me towards the door.The sounds of gunshots echoed within the building, giving it a dramatic flair that I quite liked."I didn't say anything, you were there, weren't you? All I did was ask him to save me. Do you really think my husband is that dumb and he just lets me walk around without knowing where I am twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week? I have an inbuilt tracker, you can take me anywhere and he will find me." I was lying through my teeth, I had no idea where the tracker Judah put on me was but I hoped it wasn't built.Giovanni's nose flared and his skin reddened." He might have found you but that doesn't mean he's going to save you, I'm going to kill

Aurelia's POV" AURELIA!" Giovanni's deep tenor voice boomed, I heard him before he opened the door and charged at me. I scurried back and hit my back on the wall. Fuck, there was nowhere to run to."You bitch, you think you can deceive me?" He grabbed me by my neck, raising me and choking me. My hands were still bound so I couldn't claw his fingers away.Luckily, my legs were free, I kneeled him in the balls, he growled and dropped me. I landed on my arm with a loud thud and a crack. Pain surged through me from my arm to my brain."OH MY GOD, WHAT DID I DO TO YOU? YOU BROKE MY ARM." I cried, I couldn't even move my arm. "Good, I'll break something else. The necklace you gave me is fake, it wasn't a true emerald. Where is Trista's necklace, Aurelia?" I managed to act surprised, " it isn't the real one. Oh no, I don't know what happened to it. I've been wearing that necklace all my life, I can't believe it's fake. Maybe someone stole it from me."Giovanni growled, picked up a wooden

Aurelia's POVPanic clawed at my throat but I refused to give in to my fear, yes my father may have kidnapped his daughters, one who was heavily pregnant and was in labor but I wasn't going to let him see that I was scared.I looked around and couldn't see Lucia, that gave me a little relief, maybe they were finally going to allow her to give birth. I tipped my chin up and put on an expressionless face, " Father, this is a surprise. If you wanted a reunion you could have just come to my house, I wouldn't have kicked you out." Father grinned, pulling apart his lips to reveal his brown teeth from years of chewing tobacco. "Aurelia, you've really grown up, I see you now have a mouth on you, just like Lucia said." I stilled, ice flowed through my veins. What had Lucia had to do with this? When did Lucia tell him that? What the hell was going on?"Ah, I can see the confusion on your face. Don't worry too much, it will all be clear in a minute." He clapped his hands once, a door opened

Aurelia's POVMy fake necklace had arrived and it was beautiful, I could hardly differentiate it from the original. I had to send the original necklace to Sabrina's house so I wouldn't mix them up. I kept the fake necklace in the spot I kept the original in case Lucia tried to steal it again."So how's it going with Lucia?" Judah climbed into bed, wrapped his arms around my waist, and pulled me close to him, he wasn't aware of what had been going on with Lucia and I quickly brought him up to speed but kept the fake necklace part out."What! She's trying to steal from you? No way, she's got to go." His hand dropped from my waist, he jerked up and crossed his arms over his chest."Jude, baby, calm down, I'm taking care of it. I'm not kicking her out, she's pregnant, I won't do that to my niece or nephew."" No way, I don't give two fucks if she's pregnant, I don't want her in this house. This is my fucking house, I don't trust her and my gut tells me she's going to pull some stupid stun

Aurelia's POV"Erm, Aurelia, I don't know how to say this and I don't want you to take it the wrong way but I caught your sister trying to go into your room, two days ago when you and Mr. Bianco went out to have dinner with his mother." My glass of water froze halfway to my lips. For a minute, it was almost like I had shut down and needed a minute to reboot.Slowly I put the glass on the table and took in deep breaths then looked at Opal and Gina through my heavy eyelids.Opal was in front, Gina stood behind her, holding her hand tight and the other hand on her shoulder."I'm sorry, what did you say, Opal?" I pushed my laptop to the side and clasped my hands on the table."Well, two days ago when you guys were out having dinner, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't made Miss Aria's bed, and I forgot to take her dirty clothes to be washed so I went upstairs and I saw Lucia going to your room, at first I thought she had forgotten where her room was but that was impossible because it was

Ten years laterStorm's POV"Let go, it's mine." "No, it's mine." Identical sets of screams came from up the stairs, and soon the screams escalated to stomps and thuds, I took a sip from my glass of wine, waiting for someone to cry first before I climbed up the stairs to deal with them."Mom, aren't you going to do something about that?" I turned to see Fiona, she crossed her arms over her chest and glared at me, she was now a cranky fifteen years old and thought she was better than everyone. Fiona had grown beautifully in the last ten years, she was tall for her age, almost 5'8, her glossy red hair was pulled back in a tight bun, her lips were full and she had the eyes of a seductress. Fiona started calling me Mom when she was six and I remember how hard I cried the first time she said it."I'm waiting for them to draw blood." I glanced at Fiona over and couldn't hold the laughter that shot out of me.Fiona was dressed in a black crop top and short shorts with spiky black boots. Th

Noah's POVThe room had an eerie feel to it, the quickness and the stench of antiseptics made it worse. I walked over to Storm and held her hand. "David, is she fine? Is she hurt anywhere? Does she need surgery? Why is she still unconscious? " I rambled the questions out but my eyes were focused on Storm."She's fine, the impact of the choking caught off the air in her brain for a minute but she's a fighter and so is the baby. She'll be back home in a day or two." He said, my brain had only heard the word baby, what the hell was going on?"Baby, what baby? Who has a baby?" Was he talking about Fiona?David's eyes widened and he cleared his throat."Oh, erm, so I'm guessing you don't know. " He loosened his tie. " Storm is seven weeks pregnant, I don't know why she hasn't told you, she's known since she was three weeks pregnant." My chest ached and my eyes burned, Storm was pregnant and I was going to be a father. How come I didn't know, how could she not tell me?"Noah, are you okay?

Storm's POVThe doorbell rang, and Fiona and I made eye contact over the table, she shrugged and continued eating her pancakes. I headed to the door and opened it. Bianca stood at the other side looking like she had been in a catfight and lost."Hello Storm," Her voice came out raspy and I almost felt like offering her some water."Bianca, it's been a while." I crossed my arms around my chest and took a defensive stance. I was ready to fight her in case she decided to act mad."Can I come in?" She asked, her eyes downcast. She looked tired and worn out." It depends, are you here to cause trouble for me because if you are, I'm sorry but you can't." She shook her head, " I'm not. I came here to apologize." My eyes widened and I stepped back and she entered. I closed the door behind us. Bianca took a seat, I excused myself, and went to prep Fiona, she had finished her breakfast, I put the dishes in the sink and took her up to her room to play with her tab.

Storm's POVMom calmed down after a while and King Benedict interrogated my father about Maureen, our late pack doctor. In all my years of knowing that woman, I never expected she could do something like this."Did Maureen tell you who paid her to switch our babies?" He asked.Dad stroked his jaw, his arm around Mom, " I remember the name clearly, she called him Alessio. She said he was very powerful and rich." King Benedict laughed." Alessio, huh? Why am I not surprised? That bastard had been after me since we were born." I raised my eyebrows, confused." Who is he?" I asked."He was my twin brother. He was jealous that I had been born before him, making me the next in line for the throne, he always looked for a way to attack me but I didn't think he would scope so low to give me a dead child." Wow, what a hateful man." What are you going to do to him now that you know the truth?" Dad asked.King Benedict laughed again but this time bitterly. "I can't do anything to a dead man.

Fiona rested her head on my lap and played a game on the tab that Noah had gotten her, I still couldn't believe everything that has happened today, I was still trying to figure out how to deal with my new identity then I find out that Fiona was my niece. Could this day get any more complicated?I ran my fingers through Fiona's red hair, I was glad that we were related, I looked at the little girl but now that the king and queen knew she was their granddaughter, I was sure there was no way they were going to let her go back with us. My Lycan growled at that thought, I had become overprotective of her and I didn't want to leave her.A knock came on the door, Fiona raised her head, "Come in," She screeched. The door opened and Noah came in, I turned away. Fiona rushed to embrace him and he raised her and twirled her around, she squealed with joy and he laughed as wel

King Benedict and Noah had been quiet since Queen Claire started talking, I couldn't understand how they could sit there and listen to her spew this bullshit unless they believed it as well. A million and one thoughts ran through my head, it was impossible for me to be their child, I already had parents, parents who raised me and loved me. I've seen my birth pictures, I might not look a lot like my parents but their blood ran through my veins, and their DNA was encrypted into me."Your majesty, that's impossible, I have parents, I told you about them. My parents love me very much, I can't be your child. Let's say I am your daughter, why the hell will my parents steal your child, they are good people, the best.

1 year laterCoraline's POVIt was a balloon mayhem in the Warren mansion. Today was the twins' one-year birthday and it was already off to a disaster. I didn't know who had come up with the genius idea to blow up ten giant balloons and tie the hand of my son, Judah, to it. Now I had a semi-heart attack when I saw him floating in the backyard. Okay, he wasn't actually floating but his legs were no longer steady on the ground. Warren and his ridiculous friends, one whom my son had been named after had been in charge of getting the balloons ready but it seemed that had something else in mind. Something life-threatening and death-worthy, they just laughed and took pictures of him floating. They were having way too much fun with the helium pump and I was not having it."Elijah, bring my son down this instant. Get those ridiculous balloons off him before I get there." I shouted from the backdoor, immediately they swooped into action, Elijah grabbing Judah while the other guys found the sci
