THE WEDDING 2

last update Last Updated: 2024-03-22 19:17:59

Leonardo looked at Arya like she had horns. Not only did she wear a different color but she also went against him purposely.

“Give me one reason I shouldn’t send you back to change”, he asked more annoyed at the fact that the dress was doing something to him.

Arya was wearing a red body con-ish silk dress with lace embroidery. It was an exquisite wedding dress, characterized by its intricate detailing and elegant design. The gown features a breathtaking long red veil that adds a touch of grace and sophistication to the bridal attire. The dress is adorned with embellishments that highlight its luxurious texture, with lace elements that contribute to its delicate and romantic appeal.

The color, red, eluded sensuality and it clung to her curves provocatively. The contrast of her bright red dress with the black and grey theme made her stand out.

“The dress you picked out isn’t for me. It looked outdated. You have good taste in fashion for yourself but not for me”, Arya replied

    Arya and Leonardo were on their way to the villa in the newly wedded couple’s car. The silence between them was getting louder and louder each second. “Mrs. Marcello”, Leonardo said with a smirk. Arya rolled her eyes and continued to stare out the window. “You know we have to share a bedroom now. The families are expecting an heir soon”, he added. Arya could feel the blood going to her cheeks as it turned bright red. She was utterly flustered and she prayed Leonardo didn’t notice, but oh, he did. Nothing gets past him. “I wonder what you’re thinking about, your cheeks are very red. Like your dress”, he said. Her hair was tied in an up do. “Don’t you know when you’re being ignored?”, she asked. “I do but I don’t care”, he responded. “Leave me alone”, she said. “You know I can’t, I have to give the families an heir. Get over here”, he said as he pulled her to him. She gasped. In one move the Don ha

    “What the fuck?”, Bianca said. “I am here for the wedding reception. Leonardo invited me personally”, Maria said holding up her invitation. Bianca reached out to take it but Maria held it back. During this conversation, Fin had managed to excuse himself. “Don’t get smart. I have my eyes on you and sure, once I get the chance, I’d confirm with Leonardo”, Bianca said and she walked away. Maria rolled her eyes. ‘I better get to action’, she thought. ********************************** After Leonardo gave her the anklet, he walked to a corner to talk to Rob. Their conversation seemed pretty heated. She watched Leonardo expression turn dark and she knew it was work related, which of course meant that someone was going to die. Their eyes met and he walked towards her. “I’m sorry kitten. Would you give me a second?”, he asked, his gaze softening for her. “Who’s going to die now?”, she asked sarcastically. “Don’t you worry about it. I’ll be back in a few minutes”, h

    Leonardo watched in anger as the shooter’s body slammed into the ground. He looked up and saw Carls holding a gun. “Are you okay, Don?”, he asked as he saw Leonardo’s gaze on him. “What the hell did you do that for?”, Rob asked as he came out of his hiding place. “I saw someone trying to shoot the Don so I saved him. You’re welcome”, Carls replied. “We didn’t want him dead. We were going to question him but now we can’t because you shot him in the head”, Rob said exasperated at the thought. Leonardo stood there, watching Carls with a dark gaze. “Whatever questions we had has already been answered”, Leonardo said darkly. It took a minute for Rob to register what Leonardo meant. His gaze turned dark as well. “Thank you, father in law. I owe you one”, Leonardo said as he walked past Carls. He tapped him on the shoulder. Rob walked past him without sparing him a glance. ********************************* Maria’s phone rang and she picked it up immediately. After

    Rob shook his head at the thought of Leonardo slamming the door in his face. He sees what Leonardo doesn’t see; or doesn’t want to acknowledge. This is becoming more than obsession. “Like brother, like sister”, he said to himself as he thought back to his conversation with Bianca. FLASH BACK He knocked on Bianca’s door. He heard a grunt from inside before Bianca face’s came to view. “Oh, it’s my brother right hand man. How can I help you?”, she asked sarcastically. “Is Arya here?”, he asked, obviously not in the mood for her sharp tongue. “Why would she be here? I am not a lesbian, I think”. Rob face paled. “Leonardo is searching for her. She is no where to be seen”, he said. “What?”, Bianca asked. From her face he could tell she was saying the truth. “You’re somehow her only friend, that’s why I came here”, he answered. “I really don’t know where she is”, she replied waving at him to go away. Bianca was acting really weird. He place his foot at the

    Leonardo stood in the quiet room. “You had the guts to hit my wife on our wedding day”, he said to the bloody figure sitting across the table with his head bent. Carls sniffed. He hadn’t expected a mark on her face. If he had thought about it well enough instead of acting in anger, he wouldn’t have hit her so hard. “I’m sorry, Don. She has been under my care for years and I’m still getting used to the fact that I don’t have the right to control her anymore”, he lied. “You never had the right control her. Do you know why I am a Don in my twenties?”, Leonardo asked. “Yes, your grandfather handed the reins over to you and not your father, Alberto”, he tried to raise head. “Alberto isn’t cut out for this kind of life. He’s a softie”. “But I am not. I’m ruthless and I kill away every and any threat to my family. Unfortunately for you, you just became one”, Leonardo said with a coldness in his eyes that made Carls shiver. “I am family, Don. I am not a threat to you”, he said

The guard, armed with a galil and a stakeout closed the door behind her. She was dressed in a black body fitting dress with a high slit and bare back. Her hair was in an up do with golden accessories, she paired that with Louis Vuitton heels. As she entered the building, she took her sunglasses off. Her mind strayed to what happened earlier today and she wondered if Leonardo had a hand in it. Regardless of if he did or not, she was still elated. She had freshened up and left the house immediately Bianca left her room so she could see Leonardo before he disappeared from the distillery. Instead of the normal mafia family tree, Leonardo ran most of the affairs. He was the Don, underboss, consigliere and the capo all at once. He had to clear them all after his grandfather

She rolled her eyes. “Your attitude makes me want you more”, he continued. “What kind of man are you?”, she asked, scoffing at his statement. “Your man, one of one breed”, he said. The landline, which was now hanging over the table rang. Leonardo picked it up. “Boss, there is something you need to know”, Rob said from the other end. “Come to my office”, Leonardo said and dropped the phone. “Is everything alright?”, Arya asked. “Sure, princess.

    Arya looked outside the window of the car as her mind replayed her interactions with Leonardo. She made up her mind to just be married on the outside and enemies on the inside but now, she’s enjoying spending time with her husband. He makes her feel things she had never felt before. Even right now, she is looking forward to his plans. He gave her his card to go shopping. “Where do you have in mind, miss?”, her driver asked. The soldier sat at the passenger’s seat while she sat alone in the back. She looked down at the black card in hands that Leonardo had passed to her. Funny how she doesn’t even have an account but has never lacked anything money can buy in her life. “Let’s…..”, her phone rang. It was Bianca calling. She picked up. “Hi Arya”, Bianca said. “Hey Bianca”, Arya smiled. She loved Bianca. “I just called to check up on you. Are you still with my brother?”, she asked. “Actually, I am about to go shopping”, Arya answered, gratefu

    Arya placed her thumb against the sharp metal protruding from the mirror’s hidden safe. The prick was sharp and quick, a bead of blood welling up instantly. The metal retracted with a soft mechanical hiss, followed by a deep click as ancient locks gave way. The door of the safe creaked open, revealing what lay inside.Her breath caught.An old, thick book, its leather cover worn but unnaturally strong, sat beside a small, sleek device. The contrast between them — one ancient, the other unnervingly advanced — sent a chill through Arya’s spine.Isabel’s breath hitched. “I thought that was destroyed during the final battle between the Order and the Sisterhood — over fifty years ago.”Arya’s fingers hovered over the objects. “What exactly is it?”Dolores stepped forward, her face grim. “It’s a weapon. That device can override every military system on earth. Nukes, missiles, satellites — you name it. With the right codes, you could trigger wars from this room. The book holds those codes, a

    The silence after Henry’s death was suffocating. Leonardo and Arya stood over his body, blood painting their hands and faces, their breath ragged and uneven. The room was littered with corpses, a battlefield stained with loyalty and betrayal.Ricardo and Roberto had finished off the remaining men, but Isabel barely had a moment to breathe before a rough hand seized her arm.“Let go of me!” Isabel struggled, but the man twisted her arm behind her back, dragging her toward the far end of the room. Leonardo’s gun snapped up, finger curling around the trigger — but before anyone could react, a single, sharp gunshot rang out.The man crumpled at Isabel’s feet, blood pouring from a hole between his eyes.Dolores stood a few feet away, smoke curling from her pistol. Her expression was calm, but her eyes betrayed years of unresolved rage. “No one touches another woman in front of me again.”Isabel stumbled into Arya’s arms, trembling. “It’s over,” Arya whispered. “You’re safe now.”But then A

    “You remind me of him…” Andreas’ voice slithered through the tension like a blade through silk. Leonardo didn’t move, didn’t lower his gun. His heart was a hammer against his ribs, but his hand was steady, aimed straight at Andreas’ head. And yet, the Pope only smiled. “Vito. Your grandfather. You have his temper… his instincts.” A pause, measured, deliberate. Then, softer—“His arrogance.” “You were close to him,” Leonardo said. His voice was steady, but inside, something twisted. Andreas smiled. “Closer than you think. He would have been proud of you, Leonardo. If only he were still alive.” Leonardo’s jaw tensed. Andreas had been a ghost from his past, a man he had once admired, a mentor in a strange way. And now, he was standing against him, speaking about his grandfather as if— He didn’t have time to unpack it. Because in the next second, Ricardo’s gun cracked, the shot echoing through the chamber. Leonardo had silently given the signal, and Ricardo took the sh

    Arya could barely believe her ears. None of this made sense. Isabel coming to this town had been a coincidence.Hadn’t it?Her pulse hammered in her ears, drowning out the distant creaks of the ancient walls.“Isabel having Adriana? Her coming here? You’re spewing nonsense,” Arya said, her voice sharper than she intended.Henry smirked. “I am here to ensure my predecessors’ wishes are met. Of course, her coming here wasn’t a coincidence. Neither was Stanley getting her pregnant. We ruined your life in ways that would bring you here. Not that we had to try too hard—Stanley was more than happy to do it and didn’t even come back for his pay.”Isabel gasped, her breath hitching. “Wha—”“I beg you, Isabel.” Henry’s voice turned colder, almost bored. “Don’t speak until you’re spoken to. Now that I’m no longer pretending, I can admit—I never could tolerate you. Always rushing to do the right thing for the church, as if doing good has ever brought you good luck.”Leonardo stepped forward, his

    A second of stunned silence stretched between them. Then, as if a trigger had been pulled, everyone moved at once. Ricardo’s hand flew to his gun. Leonardo stepped protectively in front of Arya. Dolores unsheathed a hidden dagger from her belt, while Isabel squared her stance, ready for a fight. Roberto cocked his pistol, finger already on the trigger. But Henry didn’t flinch. Instead, he smiled. And then—the ground shook. A deep, guttural rumble echoed through the underground chamber, vibrating up their legs. Dust rained from the ceiling. The ancient stone beneath their feet groaned, as if something massive had just shifted deep within the earth. For a fraction of a second, everyone hesitated. And that was all Henry needed. A single, sharp whistle left his lips. A sniper’s laser appeared—red and deadly—right over Arya’s forehead. Leonardo’s stomach dropped. “Ah-ah,” Henry tutted, raising a single finger. “You know, I’d really rather not get blood all over these nic

    Arya, Leonardo, Ricardo, Roberto, Isabel, Dolores, and Penelope, along with several others, entered the underground hideout and saw that Henry had already opened a secret door.“He left the door open for us to follow him? He’s either an egotistical moron or just plain stupid,” Leonardo said.Isabel was horrified. “I never even knew about this secret door—right here, in the very room where I trained my girls.”“Henry comes from a line of corrupt priests, each one worse than the last. They’ve been pitting you all against each other for years. Of course, he knew more than he let on,” Ricardo said.Penelope placed a comforting hand on Isabel’s shoulder.Dolores didn’t pause—she kept moving through the secret passage, and the others followed. The walkway was dimly lit by old, slow-burning lanterns, their glass clouded with dust. Cobwebs hung in thick strands, untouched for what must have been decades. The walls were covered in strange symbols, a forgotten language carved into the stone.“I

    Smoke and dust hung thick in the air, swirling through the ruined convent like ghosts mourning the dead. The scent of burning wood mixed with the coppery tang of blood. The once-pristine courtyard was unrecognizable—bodies lay strewn across the stone floor, habits stained red, fingers still curled around the weapons they had fought with. Bullet holes riddled the chapel walls, and shattered stained-glass windows cast fragmented colors onto the carnage below. Flames crackled in the distance, devouring part of the east wing, their light flickering like dying prayers. Arya stepped over a body, careful not to let her boots slip on the slickness of fresh blood. She felt Leonardo’s presence beside her, solid and tense. Roberto and Ricardo moved with weapons drawn, scanning for any remaining threats. But the battle, for now, had paused. The dead had no more fight left in them. And in the heart of it all stood Isabel. She was drenched in blood, her gray-streaked hair matted with sweat. A

    The doctor finished his examination, checking Leonardo’s pulse, pupils, and responsiveness. He pressed against his wrist, watching the steady beat, then moved a small flashlight across his eyes. Leonardo tolerated the prodding in silence, though his body ached from days of inactivity. Finally, the doctor stepped back and exhaled. “He seems clean. The drug is out of his system.” Arya sagged, as if the weight she had carried for days had been lifted just enough for her to breathe again. Her hands, which had been gripping the sheets so tightly her knuckles turned white, finally loosened. “Thank you, Doctor,” she said, her voice raw. The doctor gave her a small nod. “He may still experience some lingering effects—fatigue, confusion, maybe even nightmares—but the worst of it is over. His body will adjust in time.” Leonardo listened, barely absorbing the words. His mind was already moving forward, pushing past the haze of the last few days. He had woken up and gone back under so

    The doctor adjusted the IV and checked Leonardo’s pulse before turning to Arya. “His body is processing the drug. We’re flushing it out through the IV, but it’ll take time. He might still experience some disorientation when he wakes up.”“How long?” Arya asked, her voice flat.“A few more hours, maybe a day. He’s responding better than expected.”She nodded. “Anything else?”The doctor glanced at the monitors. “We’ve done all we can. Now, it’s just a matter of letting his system recover. If anything changes, let me know immediately.”“I will.”He gave a short nod before gathering his things. “I’ll check back later.” With that, he left, the door clicking shut behind him.The room smelled like antiseptic and faint traces of cologne—the one scent that still made her chest ache. The only proof that Leonardo was still here. That he hadn’t left her.Yet, in so many ways, he already had.Arya sat beside the bed, knees pulled up to her chest, her fingers curled into the sheets.
