“What? What did you just say?” Giovanni asked turning around furiously and Jasmine stepped back a step. “Giovanni….” Jasmine stuttered as she took a deep breath. “How did he contact you?” Giovanni yelled. “He… stopped by here.” Jasmine answered gulping down her saliva down her throat. “And you just let him enter inside?” Giovanni asked fisting his hand with anger. “He is my father in law, Gio.” Jasmine answered frowning and Giovanni laughed. “Father in law? I don’t think, I had ever introduced him as your father in law, Jasmine. I told you remember… I have no father! My father is dead!” Giovanni said gritting his teeth. “I know, Giovanni. I remember,” Jasmine said softly. “But he’s still your father, regardless of your relationship with him. And he’s been trying to reach out to you for a while now. He said he wanted to make amends, to apologize for everything that happened in the past.”Giovanni’s face softened slightly at Jasmine’s words, but his expression remained guarded. “
“Isabella… Isabella.” Casey called out loud standing in the living room. “Isabella, come downstairs.” Casey yelled again. “Yes, Mom.” Isabella replied as she looked up at her mother from upstairs with a frown and then walked down the stairs. She looked at Daniel standing at the other side of the living room and then, her eyes looked at the people standing with lots of bags in their hands in the living room with her mom. Her frown deepened looking at them. She isn’t sure who these young people are and hope that, her dad didn’t take money from these young people too. “Mom, who are they?” Isabella asked frowning and before her mother say anything, one of the girl who seems like in her mid 30’s spoke up. “Hello, Ms. Isabella. I am, Olivia Anne. I work for Mr. Gomez. They all are here for you to prepare for your wedding tomorrow.” Olivia said and Isabella took a deep breath. She couldn’t believe everything is happening right now…. She is going to get married to Giovanni tomorrow and
“Mom…” Isabella called with teary eyes and Casey nodded her head wiping her tears away from her eyes. “Well, you look beautiful for sure. But no worries, if you don’t like this one, we have more. Would you like to see it?” Olivia asked. “Sure.” Isabella answered. The other people opened an another curtain and Isabella saw the bridal gown was waiting for her. It was a stunning dress, with intricate lace detailing and a flowing train that seemed to go on forever. Isabella couldn't help but feel a twinge of excitement as she looked at it.Olivia gestured for her to step onto the platform in front of the mirror. Isabella did as she was told, and Olivia began to adjust the dress to fit her perfectly. As she worked, Olivia chatted away, asking Isabella about her preferences and giving her advice on how to wear the dress.Isabella found herself warming up to Olivia, who seemed genuinely kind and interested in her well-being. She realized that she could use a friend like her, especially in
Isabella looked at her father’s pictures in her phone. They were together hugging each other in the picture. It was a beautiful picture and they really had so fun on that day. They always used to go cycling, trekking, racing’s everywhere together and they always click lots of funny pictures. The days always ended up with so fun and they become too tired as well. Tears rolled down her eyes as she remembered how beautiful those days were with her father. They always argue about things and Her father always make sure She ends up winning in the arguments even though, he was right. But this time he isn’t here to argue with her anymore… he left her. He left her and took his last breath without even seeing her one last time. Isabella knew that her father was always proud of her and loved her more than anything in this world. He always dreamt of walking her down the aisle on her wedding day and watching her marry the love of her life. But now, he was not here to witness it. It was the bigg
“Mom…” Isabella called and Casey chuckled. “Well, we can’t do anything. You will be leaving me and this house anyway… even if you married with love or not. You had to leave.” Casey said caressing her hairs. “Mom, I couldn’t able to sleep alone… can you sleep with me tonight?” Isabella asked and Casey nodded her head. “Of course.” Casey answered and laid down beside Isabella. The mother and daughter cuddled each other tightly while Isabella kept her head on her mother’s chest. “Mom…” Isabella called making Casey look up at her who was caressing her hair. “Yes?” Casey asked smiling down at her daughter. “How about you stay with me for the next three years too?” Isabella asked. Casey’s smile faltered for a moment as she looked at her daughter. She knew what Isabella was asking, and it broke her heart.“Sweetheart, you know I can’t do that.” Casey answered and Isabella sighed. “I will request Giovanni to let you stay with me… I am sure he will agree.” Isabella said. “No, Isabell
“Oh my God! You look stunning, Isabella.” Olivia said with her hands on her mouth looking at Isabella wearing the wedding dress and all ready. “Damn… I have never seen this beautiful bride ever in my life! You indeed are a beautiful bride.” Olivia said and Isabella gave her a small smile.Isabella turned around towards the mirror and looked at herself in the reflection to see her lace tail wedding dress which hugged her curves. Her hair is in messy bun and her make up was lite.Tears started to form in Isabella's eyes as she took in the full effect of her bridal look. She couldn't believe that the day had finally arrived, the day she would marry the person… who she doesn’t love. As she wiped away a tear, Isabella turned to Olivia and said, "Thank you so much for being here with me. I don't know what I would do without you."Olivia smiled back and said, "Of course, silly. But, I just did my job. Though, You deserve all the happiness in the world, Isabella."Isabella took a deep breat
“Alright… I think, it’s time now!” Olivia announced and Isabella looked at her mother. They both squeezed each other hand’s and nodded their heads. Isabella looked at Daniel and he smiled at her. “Just remember, we all are always here for you.” Daniel said and Isabella nodded her head in yes. “I will. Please take care of my mother.” Isabella requested. “You don’t have to request us that, Isabella. We will of course, take care of her well. Okay? You don’t have to worry about her. But you should take care of yourself and try to come home once in a while.” Sarah replied and Isabella nodded her head. “I will.” Isabella said and Daniel caressed her hair. “We should leave now.” Olivia said and Isabella nodded and the mother and daughter duo walked towards the big door. The guards opened the door making Isabella look up at the chapel and saw the guy she is going to get married too. He stood wearing a black three piece suit tux and looks handsome as hell. He has his hair neatly gelled
Giovanni didn't wait for her approval. He grabbed her by the waist, pulling her close to him, and kissed her passionately. Isabella was taken aback by the suddenness of the kiss and the intensity of it. She tried to pull away, but Giovanni held her tightly, deepening the kiss.Isabella's mind was in a frenzy. She didn't know how to react to Giovanni's advances. She didn't feel anything for him, but she couldn't deny the chemistry between them.

She knew she had made a mistake by agreeing to marry Giovanni, but it was too late to turn back now.The wedding ceremony ended, and Giovanni and Isabella were officially husband and wife.
