Reviello's Wrong Bride It was never about you
“Even if you say all that… I still feel guilty and feel that I wronged you…” In a meek voice, Emily bats her eyelashes a few times. Leaning her body, she brings her hand subtly to him, brushing her fingertips against his pants. “Are you sorry for sending your sister to marry in your place?” Giovanni asks in a firm voice, looking down at her. “It wasn't me who sent my sister to marry in my place… she did it because she got you wrong too… and she didn't want me to be unhappy.” Emily's green eyes water, but all those fake tears can do is repulse Giovanni. “I was willing to marry you, but she… Eleonor insisted on marrying you instead.” “It's that so? Huh…” Giovanni mutters in the back of his throat. “It was never my intention to push my fate on my dear sister, but…she worries too much. I couldn't say anything when she looked so willing to sacrifice herself for me…” Emily continues to talk, trying so hard to sound fragile and force Giovanni to feel sorry for her… He can't help but find

Emily looks at the build’s facade that seems, at first, quite ordinary. She even looks at her phone screen, checking if she's at the right address. She's sure her informant wouldn't miss it that way… But is Theodor Marchetti really in this filthy place?In the light of the moon and of the city of Denver, in an alley off a busy street, there's a back door with some neon signs beside it. Honestly, the place stinks — perhaps it's the rubbish piling up further back, or the smell of alcohol that seems to penetrate that closed-in air. The noise also seems more muffled, but the traffic and people laughing on the main street can still be heard from there.If it were any other time, Emily would never set foot there. She would never submit to that… yet, ever since she left that brief meeting with Giovanni Reviello, her mind has been on a complete blank. As much as she hates to admit it… his words penetrated deep into her head. And along with the uncertainties, there's also a bitterness in her t

Click — as if a circuit breaker has been turned off inside Emily's head, she straightens her back against the sofa and throws her head backwards, letting a long sigh escape her lips.How do I truly look? What's up with these people? How can they see through my mask?“Are you wondering how I can see through your mask?” Theodor gives a low chuckle at her surprise. “No need to stress out… the world we live in is very different. You don't have the same worries I have, or the same sins.”“You guys really look alike… you both think you can read other people's minds and create your truths based on assumptions… don't think you're too presumptuous?”Theodor raises an eyebrow, “Alike? Who?”“You and that Reviello.” Emily shrugs. “Maybe because you're both mobsters?”Then, Theodor's expression become rigid. Emily notices the silence, and she feels a chill when his eyes land on hers. She needs to take the control, otherwise… her plan will fail again. “Let me tell you something… I may not know t

Theodor doesn't know exactly when his interest surpassed the limits of curiosity and became a carnal desire… But hearing that Giovanni Reviello had married was a big surprise capable of awakening even the most disinterested men. And when he found out Reviello's wife was in Denver, Theodor couldn't stop… he had to see for himself.A carefree woman… that was Theodor's first impression.Eleonor was like a beautiful bird that has flown away from its cage, lost in a forest, not knowing how helpless it is. And like someone who was born knowing how to appreciate extraordinary things, Theodor was dazzled.She's perfectly beautiful and innocent. Even though her actions were ordinary, there was something supernatural about her… as if she were a goddess who shouldn't belong to this world.Theodor was naturally attracted, justifying his interest as mere coincidence, not realizing that he had fallen in love at first sight… Not recognizing that the first person he fell in love with was another man

Asher is standing in front of Giovanni with a somber expression… and it doesn't take many questions to guess the reason for such perturbation.Giovanni lands his eyes on the papers Asher holds tightly enough to crumple them slightly. And once again, that foreboding that's been keeping quiet in the shadows of his mind has come back to erode him… this time, it's almost driving him crazy with its overwhelming weight.“Tell me.” Giovanni opens the drawer, looking for the pack of cigarettes. He's sure the conversation will be a long one.“I wish I was bringing you good news…” Asher throws the papers on Giovanni's desk and sits down on the couch, tilting his head back… his gaze is empty, unable to focus on the reality in front of him. “But I think that won't be possible for a while.”Giovanni sets his eyes on the documents Asher brought and frowns. This is information about some Marchetti's partner

When Giovanni arrives in the bedroom, Eleonor is lying on the bed with an open book in her hands, so focused on reading that she barely notices him come in. Just when he approaches, already removing his shirt, she looks up to look at him.Her expression is soft, and her gaze is affectionate… but what makes him completely disarming is the subtle smile that goes up on her lips.Giovanni stops beside the bed and leans down to place a quick kiss on her lips, gently cupping her face. But the instant he feels the sweetness and softness of Eleonor's mouth, he allows his eyes to remain closed for a moment longer as his tongue makes its way to meet hers.Eleonor laughs, and leans her forehead against his, “What was that?”“You're giving me that smile…” Giovanni grumbles, his eyes still closed.“What smile?”“The smile that always makes me look like a fool.” He caresses her cheek with his thumb, sliding to her chin to cup it gently. “I'm always unable to resist this smile…”“Just my smile?” She

This time, it's Emily who's looking at the wedding dress that she has not chosen. And just as she did with Eleonor, she also found herself unable to choose the simplest details of her own wedding.Emily’s reflection in the mirror is simply pathetic. And her beauty isn't overshadowed by her appearance, but by the repulsive look on her face.No matter how many times Emily looks at this dress, she can't like it. It has been kept for so long that the white has taken on a yellowish tone that cannot be removed. The neckline is made of frills that go up to the collar, and a thin tulle covers the collarbones. The sleeves are long, also with frills that seem to belong to the gloves she wears. The waist is marked by a ribbon from the dress itself, but the skirt is low and long — as if it were withered.It's a beautiful dress, yes, but not for Emily.She dreamed of puffy dresses and skirts that trailed across the floor. A real princess dress…But this? That brings tears to her eyes, which she tr

It's the same church… the difference is that this time it's not Eleonor who will walk down the aisle.She's sitting on the bench where the other bridesmaids also are, wearing dresses in the same color, royal blue. The murmurs about how overdressed the girls are had already started, and they haven't even seen how Emily looks. This causes anxiety to bubble up inside Eleonor's veins, and impatience begins to show in the legs that don't stop moving.Josh is already at the altar, and his expression is evidently troubled. Just as Eleonor has noticed that his eyes do not leave her for even an instant, the others have noticed as well. Surely, some whispers must be about how the groom appears to be annoyed that his ex-girlfriend is wearing such an appalling dress… or is simply mulling over in regret that she won't walk down this aisle herself.But Eleonor doesn't make a point of holding eye contact… she's more concerned about the press, who have already started filming the entire ceremony.

Reviello's Wrong Bride — A short letter...
... For everyone who followed this far. Well… it's finally over. I don't really know how to feel. I'm happy and, at the same time, sad. I already miss Giovanni and Eleonor. It was my first book this big… and I really tried, I did my best to make it perfect, to make the ending satisfying. And looking back on those 240k+ words, those chapters, those four months of writing… It was all worth it, and I know I'll miss it. At least, I'm happy to have given a good ending to this couple that conquered me. And I hope they conquered you too. Giovanni and Eleonor almost created a life of their own. I left the script and let the flow go the way they would like, and I'm happy with the result. I hope that in the future, I can tell a little more about the stories of other remarkable characters. But this is about Eleonor and Giovanni, and the family they've created despite all the odds. And I like to want to thank you all very much. Each of you is precious to me, and I hope you enjoyed my book.
Reviello's Wrong Bride Extra 03 — What it means to be a home
Giovanni is holding the handle of his weapon firmly, walking through the house with sneaky steps, looking around cautiously. Silence hangs over the room, and only the sound of his breathing can be heard. His hand is sweating, but he continues to move forward, with his eyes on the hallway ahead of him. He holds his breath and moves forward, throwing his body beyond the wall, aiming at the air — but there's no one there. However, he hears a noise behind him, and when he turns around, it's too late… He's being shot… By water. A thin giggle makes his face relax as he raises his hands in surrender, feeling a jet being shot again into his belly, “Oh, no… you hit Papà!” Giovanni lays his hand on his stomach, pretending to be hit by a delirious ache, as he sinks to his knees. The giggling increases, and the little girl throws herself into her father's arms, who catches her with extreme ease. “Are you okay, Papà?” She asks with a little smile. “Yeah! That wouldn't be enough to bring me
Reviello's Wrong Bride Extra 02 — Honeymoon
WARNING — ADULT CONTENT ㅤ ㅤ Eleonor stands on the balcony, looking out over the horizon, where the sky and the sea meet, making almost an infinite blue. The beauty of Cancun never fails to impress her, but right now, it seems more beautiful than ever. She feels firm arms surround her by the waist, from behind, leaning her back against a wall of muscle. The warmth of Giovanni's body spreads to her chest, so cozy that it makes her close her eyes. And the kiss he gives on the top of her blond hair makes her feel at home, even though they're geographically far from their house. Really, home is whatever Giovanni is. “What are you thinking?” He asks, murmuring between the blond strands, making her snuggle into his arms. “Just that we've been through a lot…” She says, still with her eyes closed. “Now that it's all at peace… it feels like a dream. And sometimes I'm afraid that it really is that, just a dream… and that any moment I'll wake up in a cold, lonely place, without you, without
Reviello's Wrong Bride Extra 01 — Marrying you.
When Eleonor saw the Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore for the first time, she never imagined that four years later she would be getting married there.And in the bride's dressing room, she's looking in the mirror, admiring the dress that, this time, was her own choice. A gown that's tight to the body, with floral lace and delicate diamonds along the cloth, which trails along the floor in a long tail. Her hair is loose, with waves falling over her shoulders, with the sides pinned up with diamond-studded clips. The veil that comes off the back of her hair is also long and covers her bare arms and back. A comfortable dress that makes her feel like the most beautiful and beloved woman in the world.Knocks on the door catch her attention, and a painful sense of déjà vu comes over her, but then, when she sees Lisette entering with a bright smile, this feeling just disappears. The bride's eyes water, causing Lisette's beautiful brown eyes to get wet as well.“We can't cry yet… the makeup…” L
Reviello's Wrong Bride Epilogue — Happily ever after.
“What are you up to?” Eleonor asks with a chuckle, walking with difficulty, unsure of which direction her feet are going. This is because Giovanni has blindfolded her eyes with a black cloth, which leaves her without total vision. “I told you, it's a surprise…” Giovanni says softly, close to her ear, as he guides her along the path with his hand on her waist. This mere gesture causes a shiver to run up her spine. “Is it something naughty?” She asks with a mischievous smile, and his low laugh sends more shivers up her skin. “What do you think of me?” His hands grow firmer on her waist, and suddenly, they stop. Eleonor holds her breath because having one of her senses removed makes all the sensations even more intense. Giovanni's breathing so close to her neck makes a heat appear between her legs. Perhaps because being blindfolded also reminds her of when Giovanni came after her in America. Delicately, his hand undoes the noose and the blindfold falls to the ground. The image unfold
Reviello's Wrong Bride My home
Eleonor is screaming at the top of her lungs, gripping the sheet tightly, throwing her head back. Sweat drips down her temples and wets her hair, which has returned to its natural color. Her golden strands are spread across the pillow, clinging to her face and body. The contractions started a few minutes ago and are getting stronger. She feels her belly twist, a pain that makes howls escape from deep in her throat, as if they were coming straight out of her soul. “That's it… keep pushing…” The nurse says, wiping Eleonor's sweaty forehead, who nods and pushes even harder. Her eyes' water… The pain is intense! She feels as if she's going to be turned inside out. But still, Eleonor keeps pushing… until she runs out of strength. Her spread legs tremble. No, her whole-body trembles. “You need to keep pushing, dear…” Eleonor cries, allowing sobs to escape through her lips. All she wants the most is to see Giovanni… She wants him there. “I can’t...” “Yes dear... You can do it; you ne
Reviello's Wrong Bride Time of peace
“Congratulations on the discharge, boss!” Marco says with a smile, but faced with Giovanni's serious expression, he shuts up, wilting his smile.“He's grumpy, don't mind that...” Lisette whispers to Marco, and they suppress their smile as they notice Giovanni's sharp eyes on them.“Would you two behave yourselves? We're about to start the meeting with the Marchetti.” Giovanni scolds seriously, with his arms crossed. Under his shirt, his wound is still bandaged.“Why? We're one big family now, aren't we?” Lisette gives a mischievous smile, which makes Giovanni's expression twitch in guilt.“You're going to make me miserable for the rest of my life, don't you?” Giovanni sighs remorsefully. “Honestly, I feel sorry for Thomas.... It won't be easy to share the same roof with a little devil.... Ouch!” He complains as he feels a punch from Lisette directly on his bruise, which makes him squirm. “Are you crazy? You want to open my fucking stitches?”“If you kept your mouth shut, that wouldn't
Reviello's Wrong Bride The prayers of a sinner
Fog.Giovanni is trapped in a dense curtain of fog, unable to see beyond his own bloodied hands…And even though his legs continue to walk through the dark vastness, the fog never seems to end. As if walking in circles, somehow, he always ends up in the same place.… Giovanni…Eleonor's sweet voice calls him, and he continues to search for her, feeling despair growing in his chest because, no matter how hard he runs, no matter how hard he tries, he's unable to reach her.(…) Where are you? Why didn't you come to me that day? You let me freeze… I almost died…Giovanni shakes his head, losing the strength in his legs, making him fall to his knees over what he notices to be a pond of blood… no, not a pond… He's sinking… his body is sinking in a red ocean. He opens his mouth and fills his lungs before his head is submerged.(…) You're killing me, Giovanni… You've killed me three times…He stretches out his hands, trying to reach the surface, but his body just sinks deeper and deeper into
Reviello's Wrong Bride Ci vediamo all'inferno
Even at gunpoint, Gioacchino doesn't hesitate, as if he has nerves of steel. Maybe it's because this isn't the first time that such resentful eyes stared at him, ready to take his life. And of course, this won't be the last, either.“Let me ask you something…” Gioacchino puts a discreet smile on his lips, and his eyes twinkle fervently, “How did you manage to fool me? I, personally, chose the Wedding Celebrant…”“Three times what you offered, a new passport for his entire family and a new life on a paradisiacal island…. Who would deny it? Of course, not that he would be in a position to refuse with a gun pointed at his children.”Gioacchino laughs, suddenly proud. Indeed, he has raised Giovanni very well…“Since we're being honest… why don't you talk about how you killed my mother, Charlotte?” Giovanni asks between teeth, trying to hold the emotions that threaten to explode out of his body.“Oh, you know about that? I guess your little wife has a loose tongue.” Gioacchino shrugs. “Aft
