Chapter 6

Author: Flowering Tree
The room exploded.

Blood ran down Zeke's face, twisting his features in pain and pure disbelief.

Jella pulled out a handkerchief, tried to wipe the blood off him. Zeke slapped her hand away, eyes locked on Leo.

"You... You dare lay a hand on me?!"

I spoke low. "That's my line. Zeke, back when we were kids, you didn't even have the guts to fight back when I chased you down. Now you think you can lay hands on me?"

I scoffed, eyeing Jella. "All for your little girlfriend." I paused. "Oh, right—stepsister.

"When Fenton begged for the marriage, he said you'd been pining for me all these years. Said you stayed faithful. But you couldn't even recognize me—and the whole time, you were screwing your sister. What a surprise."

"You're full of it! You hurt my brother—this ends now!"

Jella lunged.

I kicked her straight back.

I grabbed Leo's gun and fired without blinking.

The bullet tore past Jella's hand—didn't kill, but made her scream like it had.

"Aah... my hand... my hand..."

  • Wear My Dress, Meet My Gun   Chapter 8

    My guys had already dug up everything on those two.While I was in Bellavaro, Zeke and Jella had been tangled up for years.Right after checking in on me, he texted her:[Baby, wear the cat tail for me tonight. I wanna try something new.]The day after we picked wedding dresses, he took her to the same studio.Same measurements. Same design. He even stitched her name into a hidden corner of the dress.Vile.He wanted me—his bride—walking down the aisle in a dress tagged for someone else.My face darkened. Jella kept begging beside me.I said, "You want mercy? Fine."Jella's head snapped up. "Thank you, Ms. Accardi—you're the best sister-in—""Slash Zeke's face, and I'll let you both go.""What?!" Zeke exploded. "Natalia, I'm your husband—your FUTURE husband! People see me every day! How can you ruin my face? Is this because she cut yours back then? But you're healed now, right?"I brushed my cheek.Smooth. Perfect.Dad hired the best surgeon alive for me.Didn't change

  • Wear My Dress, Meet My Gun   Chapter 7

    Zeke had poured his heart into this wedding.He did it all himself—venue, dress, invites.The one in my hand? His first draft. The second he finished it, he mailed it straight to me.He'd texted: [If there's anything you don't like, I'll keep redoing it until you're happy.]I didn't like the flowers, so he changed them. That version became a limited edition.Back then, I thought it meant something.Turns out it was all just a lie.The second Zeke saw the invite, he froze. "No... No way..."I didn't even glance back. Kept walking.He'd always known who I was—just didn't have the guts to admit it.He screamed my name for days down in that cellar.I didn't answer. Had better things to do—like running the Famiglia.When my father found out what Zeke pulled, he lost it. Flew in that same dayDidn't even stop to breathe—headed straight for the Santoro estate.Fenton begged again, clinging to some ancient favor he did for my dad. Useless. My father crushed him on the spot.He'd

  • Wear My Dress, Meet My Gun   Chapter 5

    That man was Leo—Accardi Underboss, my dad's right hand.He had to be panicking.His eyes locked on me, ripped dress and all. No words. Just took off his jacket and wrapped me up.My throat tightened. "Leo... it hurts..."Bang. Bang. Bang.He fired three shots into the ceiling.Screams broke out. People dove for cover."What the hell is this?! Terrorists?!""No way—terrorists wouldn't roll in like this! Who is she?!""Relax, this is Santoro turf. These clowns are about to learn the hard way."Jella's fear vanished fast. She lifted her chin, eyes locked on Leo. "Where'd this stray mutt come from? Beat it before I lose my temper. Maybe I'll spare you. You her side piece or something? Guess what—this psycho tried to steal my wedding dress. Pathetic."Leo's eyes dropped to her gown.Something shifted.His whole face went cold. "Oh?"Jella didn't catch the shift. Still smug, still stupid. "What, you thinking of joining the crazy train? Sure—get in line. I'll finish stripping h

  • Wear My Dress, Meet My Gun   Chapter 4

    My dad runs Arlencia's underworld. He's the Accardi Don—untouchable.Zeke's dad used to be his Soldato. Took a bullet for him once. Got rich off the favor. Still kissed my dad's ring every time he saw him.And now Zeke thinks he can pin me to the floor?He's asking to die.My rage flared. "Zeke, my dad slapped a tracker on me. I set it off, his men show up in three minutes. You wanna test that?"Jella marched over, all smug. "A tracker? What is this, mafia fanfic?"So I bit her. Hard."Ahh! You psycho—she bit me!"Blood ran down her hand. She shrieked.I spat. "Damn right, I did."Tears welled up in her eyes. "You saw that, Zeke! She's insane! You show up and she still goes for me? She clearly doesn't respect you."Zeke's face darkened. He wrapped her hand with a cloth, eyes locked on me. "Threaten me, fine. But hurt my girl right in front of me? Cute. Your family couldn't touch mine even if you begged."Then he turned to her. "Do what you want. Strip her. Kill her. Doesn't

  • Wear My Dress, Meet My Gun   Chapter 3

    Of course she'd messaged Zeke while I was busy. Coward move.Fine. Let him come. Better to end it now than track him down later.I looked him over—cold, steady.Years had done their thing. He wasn't the hoodie-wearing kid chasing me around anymore.Now? Six-foot-two, clean-cut, suit sharp enough to slice.His face was sharper now—edges where there used to be softness. But those eyes? Same shape. Just colder. No hint of the way he used to look at me.Jella bolted to him, dramatic as ever, jabbing a finger at the blood on her face. "Zeke, this psycho's claiming my dress. Said she'd strip me! I talked back and she hit me!"I laughed, bone-dry, and turned to him. "Wow. Long time, Zeke. No 'hi' for your fiancée?""Wait, she's Zeke Santoro's fiancée?""No shot. Zeke's single, right? When did he get engaged?"I didn't look their way. I waited.Truth was hanging by a thread.But then he frowned. "Miss, are you okay? Maybe still dreaming or something? I don't have a fiancée."I fro
