Daughter of the Mafia's Consigliere

Chapter 21



RICARDO.

"Congratulations son! You have something to do after your wedding today." My father whispered as he patted my shoulders and I sighed. He left the dressing room and I was left alone with Enzo. "The suit looks so good on you man," Enzo complimented me as I checked my reflection in the mirror, I only hissed.

"I always look good on anything," I said proudly and he scoffed.

This shit feels very uncomfortable, I hate putting them on except I'm going just for important missions that require me to put them on.

Marianne and I could have just had a simple wedding, signed some documents, and then be done but my father insisted we follow the right process of marriage.

I can't believe I'm going to be having a church marriage, it's really stressful, I can't wait for all this to just end today.

"Let me help you adjust the tie on your neck, it was placed wrongly." Enzo pointed out but I stopped him.

"It's not necessary,"

"Why are you being so uptight? You should at least smile a little bit, I know you don't want this but you don't have to make it obvious. Just enjoy the moment,"

"It's obvious you want me to order you out since you've decided to keep spitting nonsense. Just stop talking," I cautioned him and he shrugged his shoulders. "Hey, brother!" Emilia suddenly barged in and I sighed, she is another load of problems for me.

"Wow! You look so hot! I'm jealous of your looks, you're really prepared for the wedding. I feel very pleased," She muttered excitedly and I kept a straight face.

What exactly is exciting in this goddamned marriage? The fact that it's even an annoying lady like Marianne makes everything worse!

"I've always looked up to this day, it's annoying to see that slut hovering around you like a fly. Marianne is a million times better and more responsible than her," Emilia suddenly blurted out and I looked at her sharply. "Don't you ever repeat what you just uttered right now and don't compare them next time. Is that clear!" I scolded her and she scoffed.

"Whatever, I'm going to go check up on your bride!" She suddenly dashes out of the dressing room.

"When is the wedding going to kick off? I'm getting tired already," I asked Enzo as I took a seat on the couch.

"Here comes the bride!" The priest announced and the large doors of the wedding hall were flung open revealing Marianne in a white flowing gown.

Marianne walked down gently to where I was waiting for her and at that moment, I felt like every other thing else around me came to a stop and my attention was completely on her.

I was stunned to see how gorgeous she looked in her wedding dress, her aura produced so much elegance.

I was swept off my feet when her veil was taken off, her beautiful facial features screamed perfection.

Wait, is this really Marianne? Has she been this beautiful?

I know it's surprising how I suddenly got attracted to someone I despise but her beauty was just too dazzling to ignore.

I was literally almost tempted to compliment her but I held myself back, that would only make her feel important and egoistic.

The priest's voice brought me back to reality after being lost while staring at her.

The wedding went well and we exchanged vows which felt so cringe. Well, it's insignificant to me so I don't really care.

"Do you take Marianne Dupont Valentino as your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest faced and asked me.

I hesitated before giving him a positive reply and there was a thunderous clapping and cheer from the guests.

My eyes met with my father and he flashed me a proud smile, I looked away from him immediately, he only cares about what he wants and not other people's feelings.

"So you take Ricardo D'Onofrio as your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest asked Marianne and I waited for her to give him a positive answer immediately.

A minute passed and Marianne was still silent, the hall was dead silent as everyone waited for her to give a positive answer.

Another two minutes passed and Marianne was still silent, the audience was beginning to murmur.

What the hell is wrong with her? Why is she keeping mute?

"Marianne! Are you out of your mind? Give him an answer and let's get this shit done!" I whispered at her but she kept staring blankly as if she had suddenly gone deaf.

I hope she is not planning to ruin the wedding. I'm going to deal with her if she tries that nonsense!

I'm holding back the urge to slap some senses into her because it's becoming annoying.

Wait, has this been her plan all along to reject and embarrass me?

That's not going to happen!

A lot of nobles and other respectable mafia families that we share good bonds with are present so she should better not try it.

"Marianne! Don't think of doing what you have in mind, if not, you're going to regret it for the rest of your life. The ones who are close to you will be the ones to suffer the consequences!" I threatened her in whispers and she gulped. Was she nervous or something? I've told her countless times that this marriage means nothing to us and it's just being done to please my father.

"I do!" She finally answered and I released a sigh of relief.

The clapping and cheers got louder.

I secretly sent Marianne a deadly glare for keeping almost everyone on the edge except me, I was only angry at the embarrassment and fool she was going to make out of me in front of everyone.

Was that necessary too?

Without wasting time, I just pulled her close and kissed her lightly.

"This means nothing too, don't get carried away!" I reminded her in whispers after the kiss.

The wedding finally came to an end and the next thing on my list was our honeymoon which we were going to have in Venice.

Preparations had already been made by my father, so we had no choice.

But first of all, I had to see my father like he requested earlier before the wedding started.

I went straight to his office and I met him there sitting while smoking a roll of weed.

"You said I had something to do for you Boss after my wedding, what's that?" I asked him cluelessly and he smirked

"Everything went well today, you did well son. But you still have something to take care of before you go for your honeymoon with your wife."

'Honeymoon with your wife' sounded so disgusting to my ears.

"What's that?" I asked him.

He stands up and leaves his office while I follow him behind.

We went to the underground cells that are meant for holding victims hostage.

"You have an unfinished business to take care of, please do that immediately!" He ordered as he pointed at one of the cells, I understood what he meant and brought out my gun before going into the cell. I stopped in my tracks when it turned out to be the family of Senator Charles I spared in my last mission.
