Arielle Walton

I'm too embarrassed to raise my head, I stopped sobbing but I'm still leaning on his shoulders while he held me and whispered comforting words. I missed this even though I shouldn't be feeling this way. I couldn't control my tears they were flowing like a flooded river, I couldn't realise why would I cry in front of him, a part of me still trusts him and yet the other empty soulless part has second thoughts about it but he was holding me tight as if he let me go I would disappear, the sense of warmth and safety wrapped around me. I want to raise my head and say sorry but I'm such an ugly crier, I've probably wet his suit with tears and boogers. But I couldn't do it, I was too embarrassed to say it after all he's the man who broke my heart. I do have dignity as well.

My eyes felt heavy as I slowly start to close my eyes

"mia cara, you're burning up again, let's lie down" he pulled away and looked into my eyes soon the sense of warmth was taken away but was filled wi

    NiccolòRuffaloI know it's a rehearsal but I couldn't contain my excitement when she was walking down the aisle for the fourth time. The wedding planner wasn't fully satisfied with it so she made her walk a few times up and down. I could see that Ari was visibly irritated, I'm pretty sure that she was exhausted by now. But can't blame me for it, I loved how she walked towards me in the most elegant way.I constantly reminded myself to have my shit together because this is just a rehearsal and I could just imagine her walking down the aisle with her dad and in her wedding dress."Alright ladies and gentlemen, we can wrap up the rehearsals with a one last kiss" she spoke with a grin on her face. Not going to lie I would pay this lady twice the amo

I'm marrying the love of my life today, I have never been an impatient man in my 26 years of life but today I am, seeing her walking down the aisle has always been my dream. I kept constantly reminding myself about this whole wedding planning thing, the videographer and the photographer here. Did the wedding plan hire the best hairdresser and the makeup artist? I only want the best for my wife. A knock on the door interrupted me."my man! Let's go ! you're finally settling down and soon I'll be an uncle, make sure you give me a healthy baby!" Mike exclaimed" Calm down let that man breath first" Cato interrupted"he'll breath very well tonight you know what I'm saying" Mike wiggled his eyebrows at me, I couldn't help but break into a smile."Oh my god !! Was I hallucinating or did he really just smiled " he covered his mouth with his mouth in disbelief."I'm not sure either my I think my

    Arielle WaltonI just stood there stunned by his actions, what in the hell just happened I asked myself. I was stunned yet I could feel my eyes being watery. Did he just kiss me? but for what ? does he us even care about me or am I being delusional or is he actually playing with my feelings.when he asked me what happened to my hand in a deep husky voice yet demanding I was taken back the way he spoke. For a minute I was convinced that he actually cared about me but in reality he doesn't . But he said none of this was fake. When he took off my gloves and asked me how did I get many scars on my hands my naive heart sang in ecstasy, it was indeed from paper cuts from dealing with bundle of papers but he looked like he would kill for me. He didn't look like it but he said it himself, I'm very confused. I kept asking myself over and over again what in the world is wrong with that man."Elle, you okay ?" Gabi asked in concern" I don't know " I spoke honestly with eyes watering"Take a seat

    NICCOLÒ RUFFALOThe goddamn son of bitches, how dare they come crash my wedding and go after my wife. My blood was boiling, which made me go out of control with a gun. The people covered in black are definitely the black spades, As I was behind a rolled over table using it as a cover, Mike crawled to me "Cato's injured, go after your wife. We'll take care of these people" "Fuck" I mumbled to myself and darted through the men killing each other "Niccolò go soon, she's in the room protect her with your life " saying her dad scurried off. halting at the hallway I tried to figure out or room number, I internally cursed myself for being this forgetful suddenly I heard a glass shattering at end of the hallway which made me run up to room 13 and tried to open the handle it was locked, her scream made chills go down my spine. I kept banging on the door and shouting her name.None of it was helping, I had only one bullet left in my gun, I shot the door handle and it opened but the sight i

    ARIELLE RUFFALOI safely made it to our suite, yet my mind was worried about the incident there. Is everyone safe?I hope no one dies. After all, it's my wedding day. I don't want it to become a funeral for anyone, especially the people I know. The small cut in my hand started to sting, I went to the bathroom and stripped naked letting the blood splattered dress fall into the ground. I scanned my naked body from the reflection and stepped into the shower to let warm water soak in through my hair and skin, which made me relax. My bouncy black hair was all dampened in water and soap trying to get rid of the hair setting spray. I came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around my body, I searched in cupboards and drawers for a first aid kit to apply some ointment for the little injury and finally managed to get hold of it after requesting one from the staff, I opened my suitcase only to find a black sexy lingerie and a short sitting in the empty suitcase, I could feel the heat rising

    NICCOLÒ RUFFALO I left the room as she fell alseep, sneaking out quietly out of the hotel suite so I don't wake her up. I left to our house basement and made my way down the stairs of blood reeking basement to find the bastard being tied up to his chair with cuts through his skin with blood oozing out of it. "Is he conscious?" I aksed Cato "Yes Sir, but his currently in a deep sleep" he took a cold bucket of water and splashed it on his face. He jolted awake and seemed confused by the way he was looking at me. "So Crema, had a good sleep didn't you? After ruining my wedding. But it feels a little unfair don't you think so?" I spoke with sarcasm dripping my voice. He grunted and tried to wiggle out of the chair. "Not only did you ruin my wedding but also had the audacity to go after my wife." I folded my sleeves upto my elbow because his blood is not worth getting on my clothes. I grabbed the gasoline bottle that CAto handed over to me "So how do you feel after ruining my day?" I

    ARIELLE RUFFALOWe finally arrived at the studio for the portrait. I was inside the dressing room while the makeup and hair artist were working on uplifting my appearance. But what's more awkward is my husband sitting on the couch looking devilishly handsome with his tuxedo and staring intently at me through the reflection of the mirror which made my hands clammy."All done" The makeup artist announced, I swiftly opened my eyes to see a prettier version of me, the bouncy wavy curls on my hair gave me a dazzling look, the makeup steady and natural. I stood up to change into the dress they prepared. "It was nice working with you ma'am" the makeup and hair artist spoke simultaneously. "Wait, you both are going, what about the dress ?" I asked "I'll help you with that." Nic interrupted."hmm?" I flustered."You both can leave now" he instructed the two workers, as they left he came closer to me which made chills go down my spine and started to explain"It's a part of the family traditi

    NICCOLÒ RUFFALOThere was light music playing in the background which made the air less uncomfortable. It's been an hour since we are sitting like Greek statues. My wife had a little smile on her face and she held her boquet filled with daisies elegantly on her lap. Ari slighty shifted over my leg, although I told her to let me know if she wants to take a break, I know that she wouldn't tell me that since she doesn't like to interrupt anything and she tends to help others over her own self ."We'll take a small break" I let the painter and the other staff know. With a heavy sigh she leaned to her side that came in touch with my chest " You didn't tell me how boring this is" she mentioned with a pout. I broke into a small chuckle, which made people inside the studio to freeze at sneak glances at us." I'm sorry, but do you want some orange juice" "Yes please " she straightened her back as she saw the worker heading towards us with one glass on a tray. She started to sip on it as soon

It had our initials engraved in it with a heart in the middle, I don't know how but it fitted me like charm. I softly looked at him while his concentration lied on clipping the bracelet together," there we go" I didn't bother looking at the bracelet, I cupped his face and kissed him on his lips and moved down to his chin. He let out a deep chuckle. My fingers tapped behind his ear and his arms went around my hips, we both lost in his each others world and I'll be gladly lost his arms, my safe place. The dry tears sat still on my cheeks, his thumb swiftly took all my happy tears away. Words weren't mandatory between us our eyes told everything, everything he needed to show. His love for me, my love for him. I will forever treasure this moment."no one, absolutely no one can take you away from me. I love you mia cara " he whispered to me it was like he reassured himself."

    ARIELLE RUFFALO After he prepared a bath for me and I persuaded him that I was very much capable of having a bath myself, he finally gave up. I settled down my self in the bubble bath he made and tried hard to think about last night's events although the memories are foggy, my instincts tell me that I am missing an important incident from last night. I shut my eyes to recall every incident **** Last Night **** As soon as we went in Bianca and I started drinking continuously, and she started talking about how many men she slept with. She looked sober but her tone tells me she's drunk. " Elle, do you know how lonely I felt when you moved after you broke up with my brother? " " Did you miss me a lot ?" I asked half drunk - half sober " Oh hell yeah! My brother almost turned the world upside down to find you but he gave up eventually " " Why would he find for me, he's the one who dumped me in the first place " Bianca lifted her index finger and shook it in front of my face wi

    ARIELLE RUFFALO NO!, no, no, no,no. This can't be. Please tell me that I didn't sleep with my husband. I lifted the quilt to see if my prediction was right, I was fully naked on our bed, in our room. And my brain isn't processing this moment very well. My clothes and his clothes are on the ground with black lace thong being ripped apart. That was my favorite underwear. Thankfully Nic wasn't here at the moment although I could tell by the dip in the pillow that he slept right next to my naked body, I winced at my throbbing head. I couldn't exactly remember what happened last night but it would surely make our situation more uncomfortable. I wanted to rip my hair off for not being able to keep my hands to myself, the memories weren't vivid neither was it hazy. "Oh no," I mumbled I'm NOT A VIRGIN ANYMORE!! I honestly can't face him in this situation especially me naked under the sheets and him walking in. How in the flying pan should I act? I grabbed his white shirt lying on the floo

    Niccolò Ruffalo* explicit scenes ahead *I couldn't find any of them Ari, Bianca and Mike none of them were to be seen, after frantically searching through the crowd I saw the two making out in the middle of the club, it made my hands clammy at the thought of not finding my wife when she was supposed to be around the two. I went towards the lady's washroom after searching for her through the whole club, there she was with a man harassing her. She looked weak with her hair overlooking her face as she tried to defend herself. before he could act impulsively I threw a punch which made him collapse onto the ground. He glared while holding his jaw but soon fear took over him as he saw my face, he scurried away like a mouse, I wanted to catch him by the neck and throw him to a basement my wife is the sole priority of mine. Ari almost slid down the wall before she could I got from holding either side of her waist, she rested her head on my shoulder and panted out loud as she ran after a g

    NICCOLO RUFFALOBefore I could set her down on the bed"Wait, can you carry me to the vanity? I need to do my skincare" she politely interfered"Okay," I nodded. Not that I'm complaining I could do this all day. She made herself comfortable on the cushioned chair and prepped her face with numerous bottles, one read cleanser the other named a hydrating serum and vitamin C serum. What's the difference in it? I'll never get it. Seeing her damped hair I plugged in the hair dryer. "You don't have to do it" she spoke softly " I can do it myself". " I want to do it for you" I took in her eyes from the mirror reflection. I blew her hair and combed it perfectly to make sure there were no knots in her hair. She always braids her hair before bed. I parted her hair into three sections and plaited it, not quite proud of my work I began to untangle everything. Before I could she stopped me. "That's alright ""But it's not perfect," "Nothing has to be perfect, let's go to sleep" she let out a s

    ARIELLE RUFFALOMy sight was blurry and my eyelids were heavy, I wanted to see if we made it out of the fire, and if Nic was safe. I knew I was safe since I felt the soft sheets under my skin, and my head ached as I tried to wake up. I winced in pain and held my head with my arm, but the pain in my arm took my attention. A saline packet was hung with its wire attached to my hand, I fell back to the sheets again. I looked around to see a familiar ceiling, it was our bedroom. I blinked back the tears that were flooding my eyes, my life flashed in front of my eyes. I honestly thought that I wouldn't survive. " Amorina?" his deep husky voice made my heart flutter. He fondly stroked my hair with his eyes screaming with worry. My throat hurt and felt dry"Water" my voice came out soundless,"What is it love?" Nic bent further with his ear next to my mouth so he could hear me. " Water " breathed out desperately, my throat was too dry and every time I talked it hurt like a bitch. He helped

    NICCOLO RUFFALO After raising a toast and with little talk Ari drifted away from me towards the 'richies' she mentioned I'm sure she must be cursing all of them in her little. Proud would be an understatement for the way she handled my ex-business partner, I was satisfied by the way she pronounced that I'm the only one who's allowed to call her by her nickname. I enjoyed it, wearing a proud smirk on my face yet pissed off at the fact that he dared to approach my wife and grip her hand tight so that she couldn't let go. But gladly Amorina has claws that she could defend herself. I glanced at Ari's direction from time to time, making sure to keep her safe since we were in the den of criminals. You name it, they all are there. "That's enough glances at your wife. She ain't going to disappear. She'll be fine " I turned around to face Mike "Come on, have a drink with us " Cato pushed a glass of scotch toward me " I'll have a wine," I said to the waiter who went past us. " Oh," Mik

    ARIELLE RUFFALOMy heart pounded a hell of a lot of times today, from going to the fitting where he was going to kiss me. I can't make up my mind whether I want him or not. At first glance sure his everything I wanted but on second thought he might break my heart again and I don't want to take a risk since this is going to last three months. Might as well get over it. " You look gorgeous munchkin" the hair-slash makeup artist gushed. Nic had hired a private stylist for me to get ready the following evening. Evan and his workers made sure lam me up which included waxing my arms, legs, armpit, and my lady bits. I insisted waxing my bikini line would be enough but they decided to do a full Brazillian wax assuming it'd make a good view to my hubby. Not my words. "Don't even, this makeup doesn't need you since you look naturally beautiful" "Thanks, Evan" I couldn't help but feel pretty since his been throwing compliments from the start of the session. He sprayed the setting spray on m

    Niccolo RuffaloI was trying to figure out her exact size by scanning her praising curves from the back while she was doing her night routine skin care. I think a size medium would be enough for her fitting. I’ve called up and booked an appointment with Diaz, one of Italy’s renowned fashion designers. As my wife stood in front of the door, she let out an audible gasp, and squeezed my hand out of excitement“You did not Nic” she spoke unbelievably“Oh yes I did” I spoke as the lips curled. I tightened my hold as she still looked at the store with anticipation.“Ready to go ” I asked, she nodded as joy took up on her feminine featuresWe were both given a private room and she was taken inside the changing rooms, while I sat there with a coffee on my hand. I waited patiently (although it my patience was wearing thin for me to see her in the dress I specifically chose for her).The blue curtains unfolded revealing my wife in the most breath taking way, I could see Ari’s shoulders raise
