last update Last Updated: 2025-06-06 21:04:01

BELLA’S POV

The whole house was so alive ever since she woke up, the sounds coming from every corner of the house, the servants and everybody getting things set for her to go walk down the isle at her wedding.

Her own stuff has been packed, which meant this had been the last time she had slept in her Family home, tonight she will be sleeping in her new home with Luca.

They got her ready and did every last minute thing that was needed until it was time for her to leave for her Wedding venue, outside the house there was a line up of black Suv's ready to take everybody to the venue, she had Luca's men protecting her and her Family.

Her Father had his own men and was already at the Venue, her father seemed happy and that made her feel better knowing it was all worth it as long as her family was happy.

Took them a few minutes to arrive at their wedding Venue which was at one of Luca's family hotels, where they would do an outdoor officiation then an indoor reception, They had wanted to do everything at Luca's mansion but because of the Security they couldn’t, Luca was against letting anyone and all the guests see the location of his personal private home for security reasons so he had denied it but then they had the options to choose any one of the five star hotels he owns.

With Luca being the Leader of his family Mafia he couldnt invite just everybody for the wedding, if it had happened at his home it would be dangerous to reveal his personal home location to the public,he had too many enemies, his privacy was important to him, there where some people he did not trust at all, so the hotels or other places was the best place for a wedding.

Everything looked beautiful and extravagant and a little bit dark just to fit in Luca and her people theme, because of the kind of families they belonged to.

Everybody was already sitted as they waited for the bride and That meant that Luca was also at the alter waiting for her and her father to walk the aisle.

*******

Walking down the aisle with her arm in her Father's felt surreal, like she was in someone else' s dream, she was really getting married today and she could not believe the time had actually come.

The people all looked in awe at her and admired her and how beautiful she looked, as she walked towards the front she saw Luca at the front platform, he looked as intimidating and handsome as ever as he stood there next to his brother Sebastian and his other Best-friend Nathan he had his hands behind his back he wore a black Tuxedo, black tie and black shirt. He looked exactly like the Mafia don he was.

He stared at Bella his eyes never leaving her, Bella had wanted him to notice her but his attention being all on her like that now almost made her trip during her walk.

Her and her Dad arrive at the front with everyone watching as her father presents her to Luca who then grabs her hand which sent shock waves through her but also made her feel like she belonged with him it felt so right somehow. How does a person make you feel safe and scared at the very same time, this was Crazy.

They kept staring each other, Bella knew she should look away cause she was going to lose their staring contest but with her new found confidence she challenged him head on.

his eyes were so blue she felt like she was drowning in them until the officiant cleared his throat and started on with the ceremony.

The priest went on to welcome everybody and continued on to start the ceremony, He spoke until it was then time for them to speak back,

She was looking at Luca until the priest mentioned her name,

"Do you Bella Lucchese take Luca Sartori to be your wedded husband to cherish, love and Obey, till death do you part, according to God's ordinance; and thereto you pledge thee your faith."

She looked at Luca, the words she needed to say hitting her hard and so she swallowed and Said

"i do."

The priest then turned to Luca and said the same thing.

"Then do you Luca Sartori, Take your bride Bella Lucchese to be your wedded wife to love and cherish, till death do you part, according to God's ordinance; and thereto you pledge thee your faith."

Luca Looked at the girl in-front of him, she was very beautiful, but he obviously was not going to love and cherish her, still this wedding was happening and the words had to be said out there so he said

"I do."

"Put the rings on each other to show the commitment and symbol of your love.

Hearing the priest say that almost made Bella laugh out loud, Symbol of our love my foot.

Luca took a box from Sebastian and when he opened it Bella was facing another beautiful and expensive looking ring this one hit her straight to the heart because it was the family ring which meant as soon as she puts it on herself everything was sealed she was no longer a Lucchese but a Sartori and belonged to Luca's side forever.

She was thinking about it too much so Luca took her hand and slipped the ring on her finger, she looked at it and it felt so right for her,it fit so perfectly and it was the most beautiful thing a girl could dream of.

Luca also got another box from Sebastian which had Luca's Black band wedding ring and when Bella took it to put it on him she saw it was engraved with an L in the middle , she put the ring on Luca's ring finger ,he had big hands and hers were small comparing to his, she felt safe holding his hand and also possessive of him, he was hers now and that made her heart strings tug.

The officiant drew her back from her thinking

"with all the power vested in me by the might God and with all the witnesses present here today i now pronounce you husband and wife, Mr and Mrs Sartori. You may seal these Vows with a Kiss if need be."

Bella forgot this part in weddings but she waited for her now husband to see if he was going to kiss her, as for her this would have to be her first kiss so she did not know what to do, she blushed.

Luca did not plan on doing this but his body disobeyed his mind he moved closer and held her waist with his big hands and drew her nearer to him until his face was inches away from her, she looked at his lips anticipating and unconsciously she licked her lips, as Luca drew nearer to her he changed his mind and pecked her on the cheek and that was it.

Bella was disappointed he did not kiss her on the lips, she was his wife now for heavens sake. She heard clapping from the people and she just had to smile for them, Her Husband led her back down the aisle and they were joined by people who congratulated them and wished them well. Bella looked at her husband with a happy smile but he did not smile at all,

" He will get over it, he will come to love you, she heard behind her so she turned and saw it was Her now mother in-law who was talking and sending her a warm smile as she hugged Bella, she just hoped that to be true because she felt like she was already in trouble with her heart and she needed that to come true otherwise she was going to go through hell alone.

    Luca stood on the docks, the harbor’s stench mingling with the metallic tang of blood from all the men killed that night.The night was a chaos of gunfire and shouts, his men clashing with Petrov’s crew in a brutal dance of power. The shipment crates of weapons worth millions was secure, thanks to Bella’s intel from the Black Viper. But the victory was hollow. Some of his men lay by wounded, bullets in their bodies. The Petrov men had arrived before them and they had kind of been ambushed, but they were still stronger and defeated them. Dimitri had slipped away the usual coward bastard always is always run away.One of his men who was down face was pale as he growled, “We showed ‘em, boss.” Luca’s jaw clenched, his dark eyes scanning the shadows for Petrov.Dimitri will pay for everything. The bastard had slipped away, leaving a note scrawled on a crate: “Your heart is next.”The words burned, not because of the threat, but because of what they meant. Bella. She was Petrov’s target

    The safe house was a fortress disguised as a rustic cabin, nestled in a dense pine forest an hour from the city. Its weathered wooden exterior belied the steel reinforced walls and bulletproof windows, a testament to Luca’s length for her safety. The air was sharp with the scent of pine and damp earth, but inside, it was sterile clean lines, minimal furniture, and the hum of a generator buried somewhere beneath the floor. Bella sat at the small desk in the upstairs bedroom, her fingers tracing the silver locket around her neck, its familiar weight a tether to her mother’s memory. “Strength is quiet, Bella,” her mother had said, years ago, when Bella was just a shy girl hiding behind her father’s desk. “It’s in your mind, not your fists.”Six hours ago, Nathan had escorted her here under Luca’s orders, his face grim as he relayed the command: “You will have to stay here until further notice.” The memory of Luca’s fury still stung his dark eyes blazing, his voice a cold blade slicing

    Luca’s presence filled the manager’s office, the air crackling with his barely contained fury. His dark eyes locked onto Bella, sharp and unyielding, like a predator sizing up prey. The door slammed shut behind him, the sound echoing like a gunshot in the small space. Bella stood behind the desk, her hands gripping the edge, her sleek black blazer and pencil skirt a stark contrast to the vulnerable woman who’d confessed her love the night before. Her chin was lifted, but her blue eyes betrayed a flicker of fear beneath her defiance.“What the hell were you thinking?” Luca’s voice was low, a dangerous rumble that made the room feel smaller. He stepped closer, his broad frame looming, each word deliberate. “You went to the Black Viper, Petrov’s territory alone? After yesterday’s attack? Are you trying to get yourself killed?”Bella’s heart pounded, her shyness urging her to shrink, but the spark of anger from last night flared brighter. She straightened, meeting his gaze. “I was thi

    Her still hands trembled, the echo of gunfire from the attack still ringing in her ears, the screech of tires and Carlo’s shouted “Get down!” replaying in her mind. Her black sundress, once a symbol of confidence during her spa day with Victoria, now felt like a flimsy shield, clinging to her curves and exposing her fragility. But it was the ache in her chest that drove her to the study. She needed Luca, needed his strength to ground her, to make her feel safe in a world that had just bared its teeth.She found him standing by his desk, the amber glow of a single lamp casting sharp shadows across his angular face. Maps and burner phones were scattered before him, a battlefield of strategy that seemed to consume him entirely. His broad shoulders were tense, his dark eyes fixed on a point she couldn’t see. He was a fortress, unyielding, and for a moment, her shyness urged her to retreat. But the terror of the attack, the weight of Petrov’s threat, pushed her forward. She needed him

    The morning sun bathed the city in a golden glow, casting long shadows across the sleek curves of Victoria’s convertible as Bella slipped into the passenger seat. For the first time in weeks, her heart felt lighter, unshackled from the weight of Luca’s intense, conflicted gaze and the sting of his secrets. Her black sundress hugged her bombshell figure, the halter neckline accentuating her curves, but her shyness made her tug at the hem, self conscious despite Victoria’s insistence that she looked “like a goddess.” Despite the revelation of his past with Taylor or Anna and the chilling threat of Dimitri Petrov. Today, though, she craved escape a day to reclaim herself, away from the club’s chaos and Luca’s cold dominion.“So, mafia wife,” Victoria teased, her sunglasses glinting as she pulled onto the highway, the wind whipping her auburn hair. “What’s the plan? Spa day, shopping, or something totally reckless to make Luca jealous?”Bella laughed, her cheeks flushing as she tucked

    The guest bedroom was her sanctuary, its pristine white linens and polished furniture a stark contrast to the chaos churning in Bella’s heart. She sat on the edge of the bed, her black dress now a crumpled reminder of the night’s failures. The fabric clung to her like a second skin, but it felt heavy, a costume for a role she wasn’t sure she could play anymore. The silence of the room was driving her crazy, broken only by the distant hum of the mansion’s air conditioning and the faint tick of a clock on the nightstand.It was well past midnight, and Bella’s mind refused to rest, replaying the night’s events like a broken record.She had dressed for Luca, hoping the dress would catch his eye, make him see her not just as a fixture in his dangerous world, but as the woman who could love him as his wife. But the club had been a whirlwind of tension,he Petrov situation, Sebastian’s careless revelation about Taylor, and Luca’s cold dismissal of her hurt.His words echoed in her mind “Yo
