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.

    The hall where the wedding party will take place is, at first glance, incredibly beautiful. Eleonor has really spared no effort and money to make sure that everything looks stunning and is talked about… that way, more people will see the show that's soon to take place. But in addition, she made sure to choose things that Emily dislikes at most.Emily doesn't like places with too many plants, so there are several flowers in the hall, and several arrangements on the tables as well. She hates vibrant colors, so there are many details with strong colors, such as purple and blue. Not only that, but the dance floor is itself a mirror, which Emily always complained to be inconvenient and corny.Every single detail was thought of in a way that would bother her. Even the food at the buffet is the food Emily hates the most… which was not difficult, considering her limited menu.No wonder Emily is sulking, already in her changed knee-length dress, that made h

    (…) “Stick down…” The male voice comes out in a clack, along with the moans of a woman. It's the recording of a security camera… Who are the man and woman being filmed?The doubts are quickly cleared up when the woman’s face is focused on by the camera, and it's possible to distinguish exactly who's on all fours on the table, having sex with a man who's clearly not Joshua Henderson… It's Emily.The commotion begins almost immediately. Emily takes a moment to understand what's happening, and glances at Josh, who's staring at the screen with a pale face.Eleonor begins to gesture to the party production, but they do not interrupt the video. Of course, she ordered that no matter what gestures she made, they shouldn’t stop… Only when she ordered loud enough in the exact words they would do so, since they were paid a good amount to obey and keep quiet…“WHAT'S THAT?” Mr. Henderson shouts, almost in a shaking voice. This is the first time Eleonor has seen the man shout.Emily's loud, high-p

    SLAP — the loud slapping noise resounds through the hall, startling everyone still present. It was so loud and sudden that Emily's face turned to the side. Erica slapped her hard, stopping her daughter from continuing to say those crazy words.“Foolish girl…” Erica grumbles, feeling fire inside her veins…“Mom, you've lost your mind…”“Shut your mouth.”Emily flinches, surprised that her mother had slapped her in front of other people… she never did that to Eleonor. The expression on Erica's face shows her incredible displeasure, the anger at having her perfect plan entirely ruined. But… there's more to it than that, right? Although not shown properly, Erica recognized the man from the video. And perhaps that increased her anger even more.“You're jealous…” Emily teases, with a sarcastic laugh.“Mr. Henderson…” Erica turns back to the man, whose face is so red it looks like chili-pepper, ignoring the girl completely.Mr. Henderson's eyes seem to burn with intensity, blinded by this o

    […] “After the statements of Edward Henderson, former Colorado's senator and one of the most popular presidential candidates, EVANS inc. stock plummeted. He was involved in a controversy after his youngest son's wedding, where an intimate video of the bride with another man was played…” The anchor says, with her perfectly hair — not a single strand out of place. The suit makes her look elegant, and her make-up is discreet… But it's not her appearance that draws the attention of thousands of viewers at that moment… It's her words.Giovanni presses a single button on the remote, and the channel changes.[…] “Do you think this could harm Henderson's reputation and impact the campaign?” An anchorman asks a guest.[…] “Yes, I think it has an impact, Fernandez… He's a conservative man, after all. If he hadn't taken a state against his sons' attitudes, he would have lost favor among his electors who share the same values.” The guest answers politically, with a forced smile that brings wrinkl

    Erica screams with all the force of her lungs, feeling wrath raise inside her like the flames of a blast that spreads without mercy. With her fingers clutched tightly in her hair, she tries to calm the bubbling blood and the heart that's almost tearing her chest from its intense rhythm, but it's in vain… she's blinded by rage.The words spoken by her father replay in her mind, the humiliation of having been rejected. After all, how can they say it's her fault? The whole mess has spilled over to the Blake's, and their companies also had been impacted… but it’s all because Mr. Henderson has openly come out against his son and Emily.Everything Erica had worked so hard to build… all these years… she was so close… And it was all entirely ruined because of her worthless husband and irresponsible daughter.The noise of the door wakes Erica from her complex thoughts, and she raises her tired eyes that held on madness to the man who enters the room.

  • Reviello's Wrong Bride   The ultimate favor

    Erica is sitting on the leather couch and looking at her hands. She can still remember when they were stained with her husband's blood. Since she was able to collect the courage to call Theodor Marchetti, she has been locked in this room. She almost fainted a few times because of such stress, but even if she closed her eyes, that scene returned in her mind to anguish her. The door creaks open, drawing in the woman's eyes, which are still wide and sore from dryness. She has not been able to shed a single tear since her husband's accident, or when strong, suspicious men carried his body away. That's why she stands up abruptly when she sees Theodor entering the small office in the shabby building. “Oh…. Well? Is he fine?” Erica swallows hard, feeling her throat equally dry. The adrenaline is still pulsing rapidly through her body, as she goes back to biting the nails that are already in its flesh. Theodor throws an envelope on the table and turns his back to Erica, who's studying the s

  • 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

    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

    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

    “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

    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?
