Yanna
Two weeks had passed by quickly. My nerves where all over the place as I busied myself playing with the engagement ring on my finger.
I stared at the woman staring back at me in the mirror, my hair was in a slick low bun with diamond ornaments in my hair. My edges framed my face, adding more focus to the light makeup on my face.
My wedding dress was beautiful with the diamonds twinkling as it hit the lights. Intricate lace was used for the long sleeves of the dress, the low cut sweetheart neckline brought attention to my exposed cleavage but not revealing too much. The dress hugged my figure tightly then flared out perfectly in a long train.
A gasp cut me from my thoughts causing me to turn around.
“Oh my God, Yanna…” Hailey held her chest as she got teary eyed.
I giggled softly trying to hold back my tears. “Stop, you’re going to make me cry.”
She walked over to me, engulfing me in a tight hug. “You look so beautiful.”
I nodded. “Thank you.” I whisper
She glanced at my face but slowly frowned.
“Are you not happy with this marriage?” she whispered to me.
Hailey has always been good with reading the expressions that I wished to stay hidden. It was at the tip of my tongue to spill everything to her but I bit back and smiled tightly.
I shook my head. “It’s the nerves.”
Hailey sighed and smiled back. “You are about to marry the love of your life, so be happy and enjoy this moment.”
Alonzo came in wearing a tailored black suit with the crest of the Bernadi family pinned to his breast pocket.
He smiled at me. “You look beautiful mia principessa” (my princess).
I smiled tightly at him. He nodded at Hailey as she hurried and helped me put on my veil.
We arrived at the beautiful church that looked like it came out of a fantasy storybook. The guests were already seated as Hailey walked in first to go and stand at the side, waiting for me.
I let out a breath to calm my nerves as I gripped my bouquet tightly. Alonzo extended his left elbow for me to grasp.
“I wouldn’t let anything happen to you, I promise.” He whispered to me.
I glance at him through my veil and smiled. “Thank you…” I whispered back.
I was called to walk in and all the guests rose to their feet. The instrumentals to ‘young and beautiful’ by Lana del rey came on as I walked down the aisle slowly.
Tears stung my eyes as I remember that this was my mum’s favorite song, I sniffled with my lips trembling, silently praying that I’m making the right decision about this.
I stopped at the end and Enzo took my hand, guiding me closer to him, from what I could tell through my veil, he looked handsome as hell.
The officiant began with the wedding proceedings and continued on for a while.
“Do you, Mr. Enzo Bernadi take Miss Yanna Wilson to be your lawfully wedded wife?” he asked through the mike.
Enzo grunted his reply. “I do.” The audience clapped to his reply as I slipped the wedding band into his finger.
“Do you, Miss Yanna Wilson take Mr, Enzo Bernadi to be your lawfully wedded husband?” my breathing picked up and my palms felt clammy.
I hesitated.
Murmurs from the crowd was heard at my lack of response to the officiant. He repeated the question again to clarify himself clearly.
I felt Enzo squeeze my hands indicating that I should reply. “…..I do.” I replied softly and everyone cheered in the crowd.
“With the power invested in me by God, I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss your bride.” The officiant said out excitedly.
Enzo lifted my veil slowly. I let out a tiny gasp at how handsome he looked, wearing an intricately tailored white suit with the Bernadi family crest pinned to his breast pocket.
His lips parted slightly as his eyes scanned my form before he leaned down and captured my lips in a chaste kiss. Goosebumps spread through my body as his expensive scent filled my nostrils.
The kiss was short and I was quite surprised that he actually kissed me after avoiding me during the past week like I’m the one forcing him to marry me.
The reception came by quickly and I was currently slow dancing with Enzo who looked like he wanted to be over with this as soon as possible.
“You avoided me this past week.” I whisper to him as we swayed to the song.
His jaws clenched. “I’m a don, I had business to do.”
I squinted my eyes in annoyance. “Do you think I’m gullible?” I rolled my eyes. “I know you were avoiding me.”
He looked down at me and smirked. “Congratulations, you guessed right.” He replied dryly.
I sighed frustratingly and rolled my eyes. This man is infuriating!
His hands on my waist squeezed tightly causing me to gasp and lock eyes with his heated stare. “You know…. This bratty attitude of yours, needs to be fucked out of you.” he grunted lowly in my ear.
My breathing picked up, I almost moan from this new side of him that is definitely doing things to me. “Wh-”. The music ended before our conversation continued on and he left me on the stage, speechless.
The night went on with more partying. Hailey was already so drunk, I had to tell one of Enzo’s men to drive her home safely. I sipped my wine as I glanced around the reception.
“Mrs. Bernadi.” I turned and was met with a pair of unsettling dead eyes that stared back at me.
I gave the man a tight smile. “Good evening, Mr?”
He smiled strangely and stretched out his hand. “Ricardo, Ricardo Rossi.”
I smiled and took his hand, shaking it.
*BANG!*
I screamed as a gunshot was heard and guests ran screaming for their lives. I crouched down in a protective position and searched the crowd to where the gunshot was heard.
I was rooted in my spot as fear gripped my racing heart. People were screaming and running, everywhere was in a frenzy. Ricardo was nowhere to be seen and I couldn’t sight Enzo anywhere.
“Yanna!” I turned to my name and a bloodied Enzo came running to me.
Tears ran down my cheeks as I started to panic. “Enzo, What happened to you?!” I tore the ends of my reception dress to add pressure to his bleeding arm.
“Lets go!” Enzo grabbed my arm and dragged me to the car waiting for us.
I rushed inside the car and Enzo followed suit, groaning as he clutched his arm.
The car drove as fast as possible out of the reception area, I helped to apply pressure on his gunshot wound.
The silence in the car was deafening as my reality came to set in.
What the hell have I signed up for?
Yanna The drive back to Enzo’s place, was short as the driver sped back home. His home was a mansion much bigger than Alonzo’s, his men were armed and stationed at every corner of the house.We were guided quickly into the house, I was in so much shock as everything moved in a blur as Enzo fired orders to his men, while a doctor came in to take a look at his gunshot wound on his arm.My hands felt cold from the sudden shock I was feeling, a woman came to hold me and guided me up the stairs into a room which I could tell was Enzo’s from the scent of it.“Breathe…” The elderly woman said as she rubbed my hands.It calmed me down a little but I was still shaken at how drastic my life could switch from a somewhat joyful wedding, to a battle of gunfires.“You’re fine.” The woman said as her warm brown eyes locked to mine.“What happened?...” I sniffled softly.“Mr Bernadi would fill you on everything you need to know, but for now lets get you out of this dress.” She smiled warmly at me.I
Enzo I glanced at my watch for the third time in the past minute. What the hell is taking her so long to get ready?“Don, we found this at the reception.” Antonio whispered in my ear.I glanced down to his hand and it was a bullet engraved with my name on it, a threat. I clenched my jaw in anger, that Rossi bastard.“Find out what type of gun it belongs to and narrow it down to its shipments in the country.” Antonio nodded and walked away.On cue, Yanna finally came down the stairs. My mouth went dry, for some reason I couldn’t behave when I’m around her. She is a beautiful woman, I’ll give her that.Her coily hair was tied up, she was curvy and plump with wide hips and an evident weight on her chest. Her brown thighs were exposed from the shorts she wore. I exhaled trying to calm myself from the various thoughts I had with those thick thighs of hers.“I’m so sorry, I know I said I’ll be done in half an hour.” She states sheepishly.I shook my head. “You came down in time.” I guided h
Yanna Few days had gone by with me spending all my time at the beach or reading a book, back at the suite. To sum it all, it’s been boring the past few days.Enzo has been busy with work in Croatia, and we haven’t spoken about our incident at the bar which I’m thankful for.I released a sigh at the soothing sounds of the waves. Antonio, one of Enzo’s men had been assigned as my personal security whenever Enzo went out for work. He never says a word, just follows me wherever I go.“I’m boreddd…” I whine as I lay on the tanning bed at the beach, I was in a pink bikini set that perfectly accentuated my curves.Antonio didn’t pay mind to what I said, instead he faced the beach with a stoic expression, his ponytail swaying in the wind.Frustrated, I got up abruptly storming towards our suite. I need to leave this resort and explore unless I’ll run mad!.Antonio was hot on my heel but I didn’t pay mind to him. I speedily walked into the suite, Enzo was around but in a meeting at the office.
Yanna It felt like time stopped as we both stared at each other. The loud gunshot shocked me, realization hit me as I felt my grip on the trigger.My eyes widened as the man’s face twisted to that of pain as he groaned and rolled off me. My body was trembling from the aftereffects of the gunshot, I turned my head glancing at the man on the floor.His haunting grey eyes were wide open and dilated, color seemed to have left his face and there was no sign of him breathing.He’s dead.Panicked, I quickly scrambled to my feet making a run for it. My heart was racing as I ran in a blur, the docks suddenly came to view and I noticed Enzo searching through the crowd hastily.“Enzo!” I called out from afar, gaining his attention as we locked eyes.My eyes quickly scanned his form, his hair was in a mess, he was clutching his recently injured arm and not to mention, his plain white shirt now had splatters of blood on it.A choked sob escaped from my lips as my legs moved before I could process
Yanna My sobbing echoed through the walls of the bathroom I was currently showering in. I had thought that I could handle what happened during my attack yesterday but I just couldn’t hold it in anymore.The wave of emotions crashed on me as soon as I stepped into the bathroom. How can a simple life of a stripper suddenly turn out like this, in this situation?I’m not prepared for this life and I don’t think I ever will. Fear crept up as I thought about Hailey and her cute little Maya, I didn’t want them to get harmed just by having a relationship with me.I sniffled softly as I turned off the shower, wrapping myself in a robe to step out of the bathroom. On cue, Enzo walked in, unbuttoning his shirt but stopped in his tracks as he noticed my obvious red eyes from crying.“I didn’t want this life.” I glare at him.He tilted his head to the side, squinting his eyes. “Did you think the mafia was a joke?” he asked mockingly.I scoff as anger flared in my chest. “Don’t you dare speak to me
Enzo Fuck…..I wanted more, no I need to taste more of her sweet lips. I held back a longing groan as I felt my stiffness. Getting turned on by just kissing…. Fuck I’m screwed.She was so oblivious to the effect she has on me. The memory of her scurrying away after our kiss flashed in my head causing me to snicker.I glanced at the rear view mirror but immediately locked eyes with Antonio’s who avoided my eyes as fast as possible causing my smirk to drop quickly.Antonio cleared his throat. “Umm…Don, I want to apologize again for-”I released a sigh. “Just keep driving.”“Yes Don.”Yanna had given up on following me out after she scurried off. I was currently on my way to a meeting with the Russian mafia, I needed to buy shipments in order to win this war that has just started with that Rossi bastard.The car came to a halt, I was guided by a Russian to our meeting place. My men had already swept through the building for any suspicious play. No weapons are allowed for this meeting, w
YannaThe familiar musky air of the club filled my nostrils as I walked through the back rooms where all the other girls changed to ready for their performance.I felt nervous coming back after taking a few months from taking a break. It felt like I was the new girl all over again, my palms felt clammy and I couldn’t get my heart to stop racing.“Yanna!” Hailey called out as she rushed over to me, engulfing me in a tight hug.“I’m so glad your back, this place hasn’t been the same without you.” she was in her pink cowgirl outfit ready for her performance.I giggled softly “It’s good to be back.”Hailey smiled and nodded. “I have to go right now but we’re definitely hanging out later.” She rushed out as our manager called out for her.I quickly nodded with a smile as I watched her rush over to her waiting room.Hailey was the first person to speak to me when I began stripping last year. She had only been in the business for a year but she helped me to know the ropes around stripping an
YannaI was nervous.This man definitely has an effect on me and he knew it.On cue, ‘haunted’ by beyonce came on, all my nerves rolled off my body and my body moved to the slow and sultry rhythm of the song.My tricks on the pole came into action as I turned and arched on it adding in a steamy stare here and there throughout my performance. I walked cover to him and danced with the sultry rhythm.His stare was intense as he sipped on his drink with an evident bulge in his tailored pants. My skin felt hot as he watched me dance, the air was thick with tension, sexual tension.His scent made me crazy as my lips grazed his neck while I continued my performance. I was holding onto the last thread of my self-respect to stop me from jumping this man.His fists and jaw were clenched.Seemed like I wasn’t the only one holding back.The songs came to an end indicating the end of my session. I panted softly as my face slightly hovered his as he sat on the couch.“Tell me what you want.” His gr
