Ch.1/ Love At First Sight

EVERLY'S POV

"Are you sure about it?" Hannah, my best friend asks me while curling my hair.

"Of course I am sure. I have faith in my parents and I know that their choice will be the best for me." I reply looking at her through the mirror.

"But it's so sudden that a person like Giovanni Ruso has asked for your hand in marriage and your dad has accepted the proposal so easily." She says making me look at her with furrowed brows.

"Stop worrying so much or you will burn my hair." I reply with a giggle seeing the horrific expression on her face.

"Oh my God. I am sorry Eve, I totally forget that I am doing your hair." She lets out before concentrating on the task.

I sigh while thinking about my would-be husband Giovanni Ruso. I never thought that my crush would be the one whom to I will be getting married to. He is the man of every girl's dream but I am the special one who is going to be his wife and I can't wait for that day.

At first, I was shocked too when mom told me about Giovanni's proposal. Because I am only a 22-year-old girl with a fashion designer's degree, while he is the most wealthiest businessman of US. I don't even have a job because my dad doesn't want me to get a job when he has a multinational company where I can easily get appointed.

"Hey, my beautiful ladies." My chain of thoughts break when my big brother Ashton enters my room with his famous charming smile.

He kisses me on the forehead before kissing Hannah on the lips making her blush. Yeah, they are a couple and I can't be more happier to see them together. It took nearly one year for my big brother to confess his love but eventually, they got together and now they are already expecting their first child.

Although mom was very disappointed with Ashton for getting Hannah pregnant so soon. But then dad explained to her that whatever has happened is good because now Ashton will know about his responsibility.

I am going to spoil my niece or nephew very much. But right now, I need to get ready fast or I will be the one getting scolding from mom.

"Ashton get out of my room. I need to get dressed." I inform getting up from the chair in front of the vanity.

"Okay fine but I am taking Hannah with me. She needs to eat something or our baby will not let her rest." He replies placing his hand on Hannah's small baby bump protectively.

"Stop it, babe. I am alright and the baby too. I am not going anywhere before Eve gets ready. She is going to meet her prince charming for the first time so I want to be with her." Hannah retorts with a scowl making me snicker but I fake cough when I notice her glaring at me.

"Okay then I am going but I have come here to tell you that Mr. Russo and his sister are already in the living room." My eyes widen while my nut head of a brother wink at me before leaving the room.

"Oh fuck, I need to put the dress on." I let out before hurrying inside the closet to get ready.

I wear a green color short sleeve tie waist ruffle hem midi dress. For earing, I chose to wear cushion halo diamond stud earrings which is gifted by dad on my eighteenth birthday. After that, I put on my silver pumps before getting back to where Hannah is waiting for me.

When her eyes fall over me she gives me thumbs up with a big smile. Then we make our way downstairs where everyone is waiting for us. The more closer I reach to the living room the more nervous I start to feel.

The moment I set my feet in the living room my eyes collied with a particular pair of brown eyes making my breath hitch. Giovanni is more handsome in reality because I can see that the photos in the media don't do justice to him. His tall built is making me feel like a midget even when he is sitting down on the couch. Not to forget the breathtaking smile he is giving me.

"Here you go, Giovanni meet my daughter Everly and soon to be my daughter-in-law Hannah." Dad says gesturing to me and Hannah after we sit down beside Ashton

"It's a pleasure to meet you both." Giovanni replies in a deep voice.

"Wow, you are so pretty Everly." The girl next to Giovanni comments whom I can guess as his younger sister Sofia.

"Thank you. You are very pretty too." I reply gently feeling shy.

"By the way, I am Sofia Russo. Nice to meet you." Sofia says with a bright smile.

"It's nice to meet you too." I reply smiling softly.

"Eve, why don't you and Giovanni go to the garden?" Dad suggests with a smile.

"Okay," I reply before turning towards my soon to be husband. "Do you want to go to the garden?" I ask shyly.

"Sure, why not." He replies and stand up from the couch

He follows me outside the mansion to the garden. I start showing him the different types of flowers I have planted in there. He looks like he is interested in everything I am saying.

"Everly, are you happy with your parents's decision?" He asks making me look at him in confusion.

"I believe my parents and their decision for me. They will never choose someone who is not right for me." I reply confidently.

"Nice to know that you trust your parents so much. If not, I would not have got a chance to marry my beautiful queen." He says making my eyes widen in his boldness.

"Your queen?" I wonder aloud.

"Yes, my queen. You don't even know how precious you are to me. But don't worry soon you'll understand everything." He replies tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

"Let's go inside. I don't want the sunlight to burn your proclaim skin." I don't know if I can blush anymore but still follow him inside the mansion.

As soon as we enter the living room everyone look at us with hopeful eyes. I take my place beside mom who gives me a big smile when I nod my head at her indicating that the talking has gone well.

"So, when do you want to get married?" Mom asks Giovanni who looks at me.

"Whenever Everly wants. It's her life too and I am sure she has some dreams about her wedding. So, I will do whatever she wants." I blush hearing the care in his tone.

"What do you want baby?" Mom asks while caressing the back of my hand.

"Umm, I don't know what to say. You guys can decide the date." I reply timidly.

"I think you guys should go on dome dates and get to know each other before fixing the wedding date." Ashton remarks.

"That's a good idea. Gio you need to take Everly for a date." Sofia orders her brother who nods his head with a smile.

GIOVANNI'S POV

"Fuck. You are so tight." I grunt while thrusting rapidly inside the juicy pussy.

"I am going to cum, Sir." The maid says with a trembling tone.

"You are not going to cum till I permit you." I reply before rubbing her swollen clit and biting her nipples leaving marks on them.

I pull out my cock from her pussy before asking her to get on all fours because I love to fuck from behind. When she does as I have said, I plung my rock hard dick in her pussy without any warning.

After a few spank on her chunky ass and a few more thrusts I cum inside the condom before pulling out of the pussy. I take off the soiled condom before throwing it on the trashcan.

"I don't want to see you here after I come out of the washroom." I order not giving me second glance at the girl lying down on the bed before going inside the bathroom for a quick shower.

Thankfully the girl is no longer in the room when I come out of the washroom. I quickly get dressed in a fine tuxedo before making my way out of the room to pick up my soon-to-be wife Everly.

I get inside my Lamborghini and start driving towards Clark Mansion. I pick up a flower bouquet on the way because I need to gain her full trust.

After parking the car in front of the mansion I get out before ringing the bell. The door opens by none other than Everly who is looking very gorgeous but I am very aware of the cruel face she hides behind that pretty face of her.

"This is for you." I say while extending the flower bouquet to her.

"Thank you." She replies softly.

"Aah Gio my boy. You are on time." Elijah, Everly's father remarks coming to stand in front of me before shaking my head.

"Please take care of her." Caroline, Everly's mom says.

"Don't worry, she is my responsibility from now on. I won't let anything happens to her." I reply smoothly.

"Shall we, my lady?" I ask making Everly giggle before she takes my hand and bid goodbye to her parents.

I am taking her to the best restaurant in New York because who doesn't love luxury. Especially a person like Everly Clark. Let's see how long she can enjoy the luxury.

I can see that she likes the decorations because of the way she is admiring everything around her. We order our food while talking about various things. But the moment she mentions fashion designing I have to clench my fist tightly not to burst at her. Because this is not the correct time. I will have my revenge when she will less expect it.

I order a fine wine for us however she informs me that she doesn't drink wine. So, I get a soft drink for her. I have to admit she can dress quite well.

Then we decide to order for the main course. She orders Wiener Saftgulasch, Chicken Merlot and I order Bistek Tagalog, Prawn Saganaki. The food in here is known for its delicious flavor and that's why I am a regular client of this restaurant.

After dinner, I ask her for a dance to which she agrees. We are in a private room so we don't need to worry about others, not that I care. We start to sway side by side with the tune of music.

"Umm, can I ask you something?" She lets out after some time.

"Yes, of course." I reply putting a fake smile on my face.

"Why do you want to marry me." She asks looking innocent but there is nothing innocent about her.

"I first saw you in Mr. Fernandez's annual gala. I was so mesmerized by your natural beauty that I couldn't take my eyes off you. That's why I asked my private investigator to get information about you. Then I got to know that you are Elijah's daughter and I am already doing business with your father. So, without wasting time I asked your father your hand in marriage and here we are getting to know each other." I explain which is not completely false because I saw her in that party. At first, I couldn't believe for once that such a innocent looking girl is so cruel in reality. But looks can deceive anyone, especially if the person look so pure like her.

"Thank you for choosing me to be your wife. I can't describe in words how happy I am with this wedding. I am promising you I will be the perfect wife for you. I will not let you complain a bit." She replies looking happy. But soon all your happiness will vanish sweetheart. Just wait a little because you don't know what is waiting for you.

I get down on one knee before pulling out a ring box out of my blazer. She gasps in shock while tears brims in her eyes.

"Everly Clark, will you do the honor to make me the happiest man alive? Will you marry me?" I ask trying to look nervous while inside I am laughing sarcastically.

"Yes, I will." She replies in a quivering voice.

I slid down the diamond ring on her finger before kissing her on the forehead while she cries silently. I run my hands through her silky waves trying to calm her down like a good fiance.

"I am so happy." She mumbles in my chest after some time.

"Me too, darling." I reply with a fake smile.

"Do you want to go back?" I ask.

"Hmm, let's go. It's already 10 PM, I am sure you have important works tomorrow." She replies giving me a caring smile which I don't like at all.

Who does she think herself to ask me about my business? Of course, she cares about my business or how else she will fulfill her luxurious ambitions.

"Yes, you are right. I have a very important meeting to attend tomorrow morning which will gain me billion dollars." I inform her.

"Then why are we here? Come on let's go or you won't be able to get up in time tomorrow morning." She says tugging my hand a little.

"Awe, you have such a caring soul." I remark.

"Of course I have to care for you. Your wellbeing is my responsibility as your fiancee." She replies giving me a sweet smile which will soon be removed.
