Cyberpunk Altar

"I told you, Bella Mia. I don't want money. It's not about money, it never was. It's about getting you tied to me forever because what's the better way to take my revenge on you than making you marry me since I am the last person you want to be with and hate me to the core." he said cupping her face and bringing it close to his lips. " I will never marry you," she snaps in pure anger. "I hate you so much, Dante Matthews. I will die but never marry you." " We will see about that because if you don't then you can say goodbye to your father's company and all his hard work. I am sure you won't want that, right?" he asked with an arrogant smirk, " I am going to ruin you, Gabriella Harrison." " Why do you want to marry me? Are you still in love with me?" she asked, confused. "Love? I hate the word love coming out of your mouth. I began to hate you with every fibre in my being when you stood me up at the altar on our wedding day in the past. This marriage is purely going to be a marriage of hatred and revenge. You have got three hours to make the decision, or you can say goodbye to everything." he threatened and left. Dante hates Gabriella with every fibre of his being because she stood him up at the altar back in the past because he was poor. He loved her so much, but she broke her heart. Now he is back for his revenge on her and plans to get her married to him. But will this marriage be a marriage of love, hatred or revenge? What is going to happen when heartbreaking secrets are revealed?

Ich heiratete Don Matteo im Geheimen. Jedes Mal, wenn er seine Jugendliebe fickte, versprach er mir eine richtige Hochzeit – vor den Fünf Familien. Fünf Jahre lang gab Matteo mir neunundneunzig Versprechen. Und neunundneunzig Mal ließ er mich vor dem Altar stehen. Beim ersten Mal starb Cecilias preisgekrönte Ausstellungskatze. Um sie zu trösten, verschob er die Hochzeit um drei Monate. Ich stand allein am Altar, die Augen gerötet, und versuchte, die Familienältesten zu beruhigen. Beim zweiten Mal bekam Cecilia in einem Casino einen Wutanfall und zerschlug eine antike Vase im Wert von hundert Millionen Dollar. Er leitete den Privatjet, der für unsere Hochzeit vorgesehen war, um und flog noch in derselben Nacht los, um ihr Chaos zu beseitigen. Und jedes Mal, kurz vor unserer Hochzeit, hatte seine Jugendliebe irgendeinen Notfall. Ich weinte. Ich schrie. Ich hielt ihm sogar eine Waffe an den Kopf. Aber Matteo drückte mich einfach gegen die Wand und brachte mich mit einem kalten, harten Kuss zum Schweigen. „Sie ist nur zum Ficken da. Du bist Frau Falcone. Benimm dich gefälligst.“ Nach dem neunundneunzigsten Mal hatte ich endgültig genug. Ich schob die Papiere über den Tisch. Die Tinte war noch feucht, das Siegel der Familie Falcone prangte am unteren Rand. „Unsere Ehe, unser Bündnis – es ist vorbei.“

Eu me casei com Don Matteo em segredo. Toda vez que ele ia para a cama com sua paixão de infância, ele me prometia um casamento de verdade, diante das Cinco Famílias. Por cinco anos, Matteo me fez noventa e nove promessas. E ele me deixou no altar noventa e nove vezes. Na primeira vez, o gato premiado de Cecilia morreu. Para consolá-la, ele adiou nosso casamento por três meses. Eu fiquei sozinha no altar, com os olhos vermelhos, tentando acalmar os anciãos da família. Na segunda vez, Cecilia fez um escândalo em um cassino e quebrou um vaso antigo avaliado em cem milhões de dólares. Ele desviou o jato particular que nos levaria para o casamento e passou a noite inteira resolvendo a confusão que ela tinha armado. E todas as vezes, bem antes do nosso casamento, seu amor de infância enfrentava algum tipo de emergência. Eu chorava. Eu gritava. Cheguei até a colocar uma arma na cabeça dele. Mas Matteo apenas me encostava contra a parede e me calava com um beijo frio e firme. — Ela é só um caso. Você é a Sra. Falcone. Tenha um pouco de classe. Depois da nonagésima nona vez, eu cansei. Empurrei os papéis sobre a mesa. A tinta ainda estava fresca, com o selo da família Falcone carimbado na base. — Nosso casamento e nossa aliança acabaram.
