Six

The sun wasn't even out yet and Arieon was already awake preparing for her wedding.

How ironic?

Wasn't a woman meant to be happy and excited on her wedding day? Well, that's not the case for Arieon then. She didn't even have a smile on her face as Agatha gave her a full body spa.

After getting dressed in a white sundress and her hair pulled up in a neat bun, she made her way downstairs.

"After breakfast, Capo asked you to meet him at the court", Agatha told her as she served her. Arieon nodded and began to eat. After enjoying her meal, two guards escorted her to the slick black Escalade waiting for them.

They arrived at the court and she was escorted in. She saw Enzo and the lawyer talking. Sensing her arrival, he turned around and their eyes looked.

Feeling the heat rush to her face, she averted her eyes to the ground. The lawyer smiled at the tension. "Hello, Ms. De Mevius, I'm Mr. Blaze", he said trying to ease the tension.

"It's nice to meet you sir", she raised her head to look at him with a warm smile. The man looked to be in his forties with his freshly cute blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. He was a handsome man for sure and he was obviously a caring husband.

"Let's begin, shall we?", He said.

The soon to be wedded couple got seated in front of him. Enzo turned to her, "You look beautiful". Her breath hitched as her cheeks burned with embarrassment. "Thank you", she muttered quietly. With a satisfied smirk, he turned back to the lawyer. "We may proceed".

After their time with the lawyer, they headed to the hotel where their wedding would take place. Not just any hotel, Forestis Dolomites. One of the most expensive hotels in the whole if Italy. This alone had Arieon in shock.

"I'll see you at the church", he told her as they got out of the car. A frown formed on her lips as she watched him walk to another black car and get in. Confusion was the only word to describe how she felt.

"Arieon", she turned as she heard the familiar voice. Relief washed through her as Agatha approached her. "I'm to take you to a room to prepare you for the wedding", Agatha informed her. She nodded and followed her into the hotel.

Arieon was beyond amazed as she took in the amazing features of the hotel. The interior designs are more extraordinary than the exterior.

If Addison was here, she squeal her lungs out and touch every single object in this hotel.

Addison, a small sad smile formed on her face. "Rooms and suites under Armani reservation", Agatha said to the receptionist. The woman nodded and handed her a key card. "Here you go", she said politely. "Thank you", Agatha said and led Arieon to one of the rooms that have been booked.

The room was beautiful and large. "This place is beautiful", Arieon said as Agatha made her sit on the chair. Agatha chuckled and brought out her phone to make a call.

An hour and some minutes later, Arieon staring at the mirror in total shock. The wedding gown she was wearing was a beautiful white gown that hugged her curves and ended as a fish-tail style. The bottom was decorated with diamonds and the neckline too. Her hair was pulled in a neat bun with a diamond band holding it together.

On her neck was a pure twenty karat diamond necklace with matching earrings on her ears.

"You look beautiful", Agatha told her. She couldn't believe that this woman could be more beautiful than she already was. The makeup artist did a good job for sure. "Thank you", Arieon blushed.

At the church, everyone was already seated waiting for the unknown bride to walk in. Enzo wasn't the least excited but he was curious to see how Arieon looked like in the wedding dress he picked out for her.

"Don't be nervous, dude. You've got this", Matteo said sarcastically. Enzo rolled his eyes but the corners of his lips turned upwards. Matteo was not surprised at how unexcited his best friend was. If it was him, he'd be peeing in his slacks out of anxiety.

The door opened and everyone turned to see who walked in. Enzo's eyes zeroed on a woman who was dressed in a beautiful wedding gown. A grin formed on his face.

Arieon looked like an angel in this wedding dress.

"Your wife to be is hot", Matteo said and he rolled his eyes. Arieon swallowed in fear as she walked down the aisle with the bouquet in her hands. She was surprised that the it hasn't fallen down yet.

With the way the organist was skillfully playing the organ, anyone could have pictured this as the perfect wedding. That is if they didn't know the real thing.

As she approached Enzo, he held out his arm and she took it. "You look stunning", he said to her and her cheeks heated. She was thankful that the veil was doing a great job at covering her face or else, everyone would have seen her red face.

They walked forward to where the priest was standing. With a warm smile the priest began to speak into the tiny microphone attached to his chin.

"We are all gathered here today to see the union between two people. Where to souls become one", he started and Arieon tuned him out. Her heart was beating unmistakably fast as she anticipated the outcome of this wedding.

"Do you, Ms. Arieon De Mevius take Vincenzo Armani to your lawfully wedded husband?", The priest asked her. With a deep breath, she exhaled. "I do", she said. A grin spread on the priest's face. He turned to the Enzo. "Do you, Vincenzo Armani take Ms. Arieon De Mevius to be your lawfully wedded wife?", He asked.

"I do", Enzo said. The priest smiled and nodded. "I now pronounce you husband and wife. God be with you and bless you. You are now one, in sickness and in health, for rich and for poor, for better and for worse, till death do you apart", he said to them.

"You may now kiss the bride", he said. Arieon gulped as Enzo gently removed the veil. Just as he expected, she didn't wear much makeup but she looked exotic. Then with one swift move, his lips were on hers.

Automatically, Arieon closed her eyes as she reminisced the sweet soft and gentle sensation of his lips on hers. At that moment, it felt magical. The applause brought her back to reality and they pulled away to turn to face the congregation.

Flowers were thrown as they walked down the aisle hand in hand like the perfect couple.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

Those were the words echoing in their ears. It almost irritated Enzo to the point of snapping. So this is how weddings are like, he thought as they got into the slick black SUV.

They arrived at the hotel where the reception was to take place. "Take a show and change out of the gown. Agatha will lead you to the venue", he told her. She nodded and they both walked out of the car.

Arieon groaned internally at how her feet were aching due to the heels she was wearing which amused Enzo.

Agatha quickly walked out of the car and approached them. "I'll see you later", Enzo said and walked into the hotel. "I brought slippers", Agatha brought out a pair of slippers from her bag. "You're a life saver", Arieon said and they giggled.

They made their way back to the room and she changed out of the gown and took a shower. The makeup artist came over again to give her another makeover before helping her change into another dress.

This time, the dress was above her knees. It was a beautiful white dress which was sleeveless but with thin straps. It had a beautiful V neck decorated with diamonds.

Her neck was adorned with another diamond necklace and a pair of diamond earrings to match. After pulling her hair in a ponytail, the makeup artist sighed in content.

"My job here is done! Honestly cara, you look dashing!", The Italian woman said in adoration making Arieon blush. "Thank you", she said. "Thank you, Amelia", Agatha told the woman and she nodded before leaving.

"I wish I could wear flats", Arieon grumbled as she strapped on the six inches white heels. "I doubt Capo will be happy about that", Agatha said and she pouted.

"Let's go", Arieon said and Agatha nodded. Even though her family couldn't come, she was glad that Agatha was her maid of honor.

Agatha led her out of the room and they made their way to the gigantic hall where the party was taking place.

Magnificent was an understatement to describe how the hall looked like. "This place is beautiful", Arieon said in awe. "Let me take you to Capo", Agatha pulled her along the way.

Enzo had his back turned towards them as he argued with Matteo. "Stop being an idiot and say I'm right", Matteo said arrogantly. "I can't say you're right when you're clearly wrong", Enzo rolled his eyes. "Why am I even arguing with you?", He groaned as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

Anyone knew better then to argue with Matteo. Whether you won or not, you're going to finish with a headache afterwards.

"Capo", Agatha said turning their attention towards them. The two ladies blushed at the sudden attention. Matteo smirked at their reaction.

"Hey ladies", he said and turned to Arieon. "I believe we haven't properly met. I'm Matteo Giodarno, best friend to your husband dearest", he holds out his hand. Blushing furiously, she takes it. "Arieon", she said. He kissed it tenderly and Enzo cleared his throat causing them to look at him.

Agatha rolled her eyes at Matteo's playful behavior and let out a sigh. "We'll leave the both of you to hour bonding", Matteo said as he wrapped his arms around Agatha's waist causing her to choke in her spit. With a boyish grin, he dragged her away before any of the ladies could object.

"If I may ask, they're close?", Arieon asked Enzo with confusion clear in her voice. He nodded and turned to her, "they have a history".

"It's a shocking thing to see the mighty and fearless Vincenzo Armani settle down for a woman", a man approached them. With the different and thick accent, she knew he wasn't Italian.

"Viktor", Enzo said with a little bit tension in his voice. He wasn't ready to talk to him yet. He didn't even trust him even though they were only alliances.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Arieon", Arieon said breaking the tension between them. Viktor looked at the woman and smiled. "Such a beautiful name for a beautiful woman", he said and she blushed.

"We would love to chat more but we need to see my parents now", Enzo wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her towards him. Her heart beat sped up as her cheeks heated. Getting the hint, Viktor nodded and walked away.

"Who is he?", Arieon asked Vincenzo as they walked away. "Viktor Ivovk, Don of the Russian Mafia", he answered her. She nodded.

"Son", a deep rich Italian voice called. Enzo tensed a little before turning to see his father. "Father", he said and cleared his throat. His eyes landed on his mother and he smiled, "It's nice to see you again, mom".

She rolled her eyes and went to hug him. "It's been years since I've seen you", she said as they pulled away. "You saw him last month", Veneza rolled her eyes and went to hug her older brother.

"You are so beautiful, my dear", his mother told Arieon who was looking like a lost child. "Thank you, Mrs. Armani. You look wonderful too", she told her. It wasn't a lie. His mother looked like she just walked out of a model magazine even though she's just in her late forties.

"Call me Brea instead", she said and Arieon nodded. "I'm Emiliano", his father introduced himself. "I'm Veneza, but you can call me Vene", the younger version of Brea said with a warm smile. She looked to be around seventeen. She was a walking beauty to say the least.

As the party went on, the ney wedded couple were called to the dance floor to have their first dance. It was magical for Arieon because she never thought that Enzo would want to dance with her.

Surprisingly, he did and he taught her how to dance.

"My feet hurt", Arieon grumbled as she sat down on one of the chairs. The party was over and almost everyone had left. Agatha chuckled at her and shook her head. "I'm sorry, I forgot to bring the slippers", she confessed sheepishly. With a sad pout, Arieon nodded.

After saying goodbye to his family, he approached Arieon and Agatha. He turned to Agatha, "Matteo just texted me that he needs your attention". Her eyes widened and then she scowled. Why would he need me now?, She thought and she nodded and turned to leave after telling Arieon goodbye.

"Let's go to bed", he turned to Arieon. Her eyes widened as she choked on her spit. "What?!", She coughed. Understanding what he said wrong, he sighed. "We're not doing anything other than sleeping this night. I'm tired already", he said and she nodded calming down.

She stood up and winced a little at how her feet hurt but she didn't say anything. As they walked out of the hall and towards the elevator, he noticed how she winced every now and then.

He crouched down and carried her in a bridal style causing her to squeal in surprise. "Put me down", she breathed out. He raised a brow and looked at her, "I can't let you leap all the way to the suite".

"But you said you're tired", she said to him and he nodded. "Then put me down. Aren't I heavy?", She asked him as he walked into the elevator. "Lightweight is the word for you. I'm surprised though. With your stature, one might assume you weigh a lot", he said and she blushed.

They arrived at their destination and walked out if the elevator. He approached a set of large double doors and punched in the code before it opened.

A gasp left Arieon's mouth as she took in her surroundings. It was beautiful. There was a very large window covered with beautiful cream and gold curtains. The bed was bigger than a queen sized bed and she was sure that five people of her size could sleep on it without falling down.

Enzo walked over to the large bed and set her on it. She almost moaned at how soft the bed was. The bedsheet was a golden color and so was the room. It gave off a royal vibe.

She frowned as she watched him bend down to unstrap her heels. "I'll do it myself", she told him but he waved her off. After removing her heels, he stood up and pushed her up on the bed making her to lay down. She was already getting scared at the moment but seeing how calm he was, she decided not to act stupid.

Then he did something that shocked her. A tiny gasp left her mouth as his fingers touched her feet. "Enzo?", She gasped and he clenched his jaw at how sweet her voice was.

Don't make this hard for me!

He continued to massage her feet making her close her eyes in pleasure. His mother taught him how to massage because she kept saying that he needed to know how to treat a woman well.

"Do your feet still hurt?", He asked her. She opened her eyes and raised one of her feet. "No. Thank you", she say up straight and he nodded. "I'll take a shower quickly", he said and stood up to leave.

Well, today was eventful, Arieon thought as she sat criss cross on the bed.
