Billionaire's Wife

Vows

Matteo's POV,

“How long it’s been?” I asked Peter who too had a little smile on his mouth.

“It’s been two hours. One of her friends had left already.”

“Interesting…have you prepared everything? I want her to lose her nationality here as soon as possible.”

“Don’t worry…I have also arranged her papers to travel. Mr. Lucca has taken her sign and everything…”

“I hate everything about people…I don’t know why dad has to invite fifty people for a wedding like this…Can you believe this? I am marrying…I will be touching her or holding her hand…A sweeper!” I took a huff on my cigarette.

“She isn’t a sweeper…” Peter started.

“Who cares!” I shouted making his smile disappear.

For some time I wanted to forget about this all. I only wanted some time away from this reality that I have to take this much of a long route to my perfect life.

“I have tried my best to not make a buzz in the media. The news will only be released when you will find it fit….Mr. Lucca has promised this too.”

“And, you actually believed it? You are laughing inside. Aren’t you Peter? You are laughing at me for how I have become a joke…but let me warn you…I am made for having the best of all and you will see it. And, a woman like HER WILL BE NOTHING BUT my first step to success. I will go down in the history as the best man ever lived.” I looked away to take a glass of whiskey before I whispered, “It has to be like this.”

“Of course, Mr. Lucca…” He whispered and I rolled my eyes looking at the clock.

“Let’s go,” I said and got out of the hotel suite I was living in. Two cars followed me that had my bodyguards and my secretary and of course, my favourite slave, Sasha accompanied me in my car. It was to show my father that nothing can change my ways.

The car was pulled in the driveway of my home from where the distance to the arrangements was shortest. I noticed a special place in the chairs that had a title of Mr. and Mrs. but I only passed it to get to my father and hugged him…of course, the audience was to blame because his actions were enough of a reason for me to never see his face again. I was positive for my father was the happiest that I was holding a hand of a beggar or a manipulative woman but I had my cards to show yet. In her attempt to catch a big shot she is trapped with me. Oh honey, only if you know.

“Where were you?” My dad hissed but I only passed him a smile saying thank you as if we were having a great conversation.

There were many people around I didn’t know but if they were my father’s contacts they had to be important. Don’t forget Matteo that witch’s family is here too. Sasha came to say hello to my father too just as I have ordered her. She was donning a beautiful white dress with a deep cut in front.

“Guests were waiting for hours. Many had left already. Where were you?” My father said while I smiled looking at the bride that was coming holding a hand of a woman in her mid-forties. All of the guests seemed bizarre too. Mr. Hashemi and his family weren’t present even Mrs. Lucca’s brother wasn’t here too. I wonder who these people were but then who cares when I am not marrying the kind of perfect woman I wanted beside me.

I promise this marriage won’t stand long. The moment I arrange a woman who is suited to stand beside me I will make sure to remove you from the face of this earth. I wonder what kind of farewell I will arrange for her but had to dismiss the thought when I found a woman standing in front of me handing me her hand.

I found her head low and wonder what she was trying to hide from me. “Can we start?” A person in the suite ahead of me spoke who I recognized to be my father’s bodyguard. Seriously? Now my father’s bodyguard will be here to do this?

“I would like the pair to read their vows. Julie, you go first my girl.” This made me look at Julie who stayed silent for a few seconds before looking at me. And, the moment she cleared her throat I swear it took everything in me to stay there. What I ever did to be here?

“I promise to give you my support in everything you do…I will try to give you a…complete family, a home where you find peace and tranquility. I will always be…loyal to you and will try to…love you…and will try to cherish…” She stopped a little and her voice was wavering as of now “…what we will have from this day on. I only ask for your patience, and faith…as I try to become a wife you want every day…thank you…for…making me a part of your life,”

What the hell! I shrieked in my mind before starting in a whisper.

“I promise to make you a perfect wife for me. I will make sure that you know every day that I want nothing but the best…I will make sure that you serve me the way I am supposed to be served...I will make sure...that whatever days you spend with me will be filled with nothing but pure joy for me…” But now I made the voice a little audible, “I promise to lift you up whenever you feel like falling because I don’t think you will have any rest with me because we have a lot of people who needs help. I only ask you to stay,”

I could feel her questioning stare even in her veil that was long enough. I didn’t care what my father’s bodyguard said but I removed the veil to find a very young flower. Her mouth a little apart with red lipstick was the first thing I noticed. Her dress was perfectly outlining her body and my height was an advantage to stare at her cleavage.

Of course, I wanted her under me…only if she wasn’t my wife she could have lived happily at my castle as one of my concubines. But how she had to make things difficult? Oh, honey, I will make sure that you pay the price because now you will know how difficult it is to be Mrs. Lucca when you are penniless. I felt her jolt the moment I leaned into peck her mouth as if it was her first kiss.

I looked in her doe eyes before staring at her beautiful neck. The skin over her neck was spotless but I knew what I will be seeing shortly here. Because somewhere I knew I wanted my marks there no matter how hard I tried to despise her she was indeed a tease. It seems that no one has touched this territory but I knew better that looks can be deceiving.

“What took you so long?” She asked to which I only stared at her for two seconds and get on to receive a handshake from a man coming forward.

“Mr. Lucca to this way…” I heard the man gesturing me to take the seat with those stupid tags of Mr. and Mrs. and I looked at him to apologize.

“I am sorry but we have to leave. I have a flight in half an hour. Please, ask the guests to be flexible about it.”

“Flight to where?” The woman beside me apparently now my legal wife asked,

“To Italy where you will be serving me.” I saw something change in her eyes but I take her hand to only add the more dramatic effect. Think honey think…think what I am going to do with you.

“We…we are going to live in Italy? Why?” She asked making me raise my brows.

“Because I will decide where we live…” I held her hand tighter before grazing my thumb at the back of her hand. Her hand was soft I wonder how it will feel on me. She seemed uneasy under my stare. Maybe she knew she was leaving with her death angel.

“I…I need to talk to Mr. Lucca.” She whispered beside me,

“What you wanna talk about?” I asked,

“I…I...I need to tell my family…”

“We are leaving right now or you can stay here. I am a very busy person, Julie.” This made her look in my eyes. She took a deep breath before saying, “It’s fine…I will call them,”

Or maybe not! I looked at her thinking if she was really this stupid.

********

I personally think her vow was cute as she knew nothing about the man she was marrying...

The next chapter will be coming shortly. Love Yea!!!!
