Wounded Hearts

Chapter 32: Mrs Dario Rizzo

Faith's POV

I was now standing in front of a girl. A girl who had 0% spark of happiness on her face. She was looking ever so enchanting but there was no peace on her face. Even though the makeup hid her dark under bags, I could still see how tired and sad the girl was. I stared at my reflection, pitying myself.

I mentally laughed at myself cursing my life. The man who promised to marry me ended up marrying someone else and the girl who promised to marry the love of his life is now marrying someone else. What I f****d up life I have. 

My brothers girlfriends, Victoria and Ava were my bridesmaids. I didn't have any female friends so mum chose to make them my bridesmaids even though I've never once spoken to them, why?, because I have no interest in anyone neither did I want any female friends in my life after what Melissa did. What if they also had an evil face to them and tried ruining my life. I've had enough of people trying to betray me. 

"God bless you my child....god bless you" My mum cried as she trailed her eyes all over my face. "Come let's go, your father is waiting for you outside" my mother said while wiping her tears. I stayed silent wearing a blank expression. My father stood there in his black suit as he smiled at me. I could see a few tears in his eyes but he blinked them away. "You look so beautiful my child" my father said as he kissed my forehead. I glanced at my brothers who were both taking photographs of me and dad. 

I wrapped my hand over my dad's arms as we walked towards the altar. My heart beat started to pump dramatically as we got near the altar. Not once did I raise my head too see him, I was just so nervous. I was getting married?....I Faith Abdella was getting married. I couldn't even believe this, I can't beleive this was actually happening. 

Suddenly my dad stopped. Realizing I was at the Altar my father turned towards me. "I'm sorry for everything I have done......he will keep you happy....I love you" my dad whispered giving my a kiss on my head. "She is all yours" he said to Dario who was now standing next to me. I looked at my dad in tears, confused about what he was saying. I felt warm hands wrap around my hand pulling me up the stairs. I raised my head to see him and mentally gasped seeing how handsome he was looking. 

He was wearing a tight black suit, showing off the shape of his body.His soft wavy hair was gelled and combed back showing off his perfect face and chiselled jaw line that girls would die for. "OMG...HE IS SO HOTTTT, SHE IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE HIM" A girl squealed behind me making me clench my jaw. "Don't worry my love, I'm all yours" he whispered in my ear, his nose touching my cheek causing my cheeks to heat up. "Wow" he gasped. "The colour pink definitely suits you" he teased making me glare at him. "You look beautiful my love" he whispered in my ear causing me to blush even harder.

He gave me a playful smirk as he helped me walk up the stairs. We were now facing each other, Dario staring deep into my soul, while I just looked down feeling uncomfortable with his heated gaze on me.

After a small speech from the priest, he told us to take our vows. "I Dario Rizzo take you Faith Abdella to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy law. In the presence of God I make this vow". Dario said with while rubbing his thumb over my knuckles. 

It was my turn now. Everyone was waiting for me to repeat the vows but I didn't want to. I was scared, I was scared to be in a relationship. Dario squeezed my hand as he gave me a cold look. "If you don't say your vows my sweetheart, then a lot of bloodshed will take place and you will be the reason behind all those innocent lives" he whispered harshly causing me to freeze in fear. I looked at him with disbelief not believing this was Dario, my only friend but who was I kidding. He was the most ruthless man on earth, the only thing was he never showed his ruthless side to me until a few days ago.

"I....I Faith Abdella...... take you.....Dario Rizzo to be my husband, to..... have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according..........according to God's holy law. In the presence of God I.....I make this vow". I finally said with a lot of struggle. A loud cheer erupted as everyone clapped for us. 

"Do you, Dario Rizzo, take Faith Abdella to be your wife, to cherish in friendship and love today, tomorrow, and for as long as the two of you live, to trust and honour her, to love her faithfully, through the best and the worst, whatever may come, and if you should ever doubt, to remember your love for each other and the reason why you came together with her this day?" the priest asked. 

"I do" he said straight away not once taking his eyes from my eyes.

The priest repeated his question to me and waited until I answered. Dario gave me a menacing look making me look away. 

"I...I do" I whispered.

Another sound of claps and cheers erupted as I saw Dario sighing in relief after I said those words. 

"I now pronounce you both as Husband and Wife....you may kiss the bride"

I froze at that sentence. No way in hell am I kissing this man who forced me to marry him and threatened to ruin my family. I gulped as I felt his arms wrap around my waist. "Congratulations Mrs Rizzo, you are now finally mine" and with that said he smashed his lips against mine.
