Veni Vidi Amavi Meaning Novels & Stories

“Look, you can talk to me.” “No, thanks,” I muttered, turning away once again. Silence hung thick, then his gruff voice came with that thick Italian accent, saying, “The reason why I’m taking you to Italy with me is for the sake of matrimonio di rispetto.” Those Italian words rang a bell in my head. It seemed like Viola had made a mention of them before, I wasn’t sure. “What does that mean?” I inquired, my curiosity bubbling. He sighed, and said, “It’s just some kind of politics, tradition and family… you know.”

He laughed with his lips still against my hair. "Maybe." I sighed taking my hands to trace over the others and he mentioned to me that not all his tattoos had meanings, he just got them because he found them appealing, "This one." I trailed my hand over a distinct one on the expanse of his arm reading out the letters, "vidi veni vici." "I saw, I came, I conquered." He translated it for me as I looked up at him, "Got it when I assumed my position as count, it made me feel powerful."

The crowd gathered as all the guests prepared to send the couple into the Cave of Ignis et Probitatis, which simply translates to, 'The Cave of Fire and Honesty.' The day had begun awfully for Dom as the last two days had been, but when Clara came out of his mate's room with a triumphant smile on her face, he finally relaxed a bit.

“Amor Vicint Omnia. What does it mean?” He quirks an amused brow and lifts his hand to the tattoo. “It means… love conquers all. Those were the words that my mother used to say when she and my father argued. I will never forget them.” His words touch my soul. I lean down and kiss the tattoo and rest my hand over his steadily beating heart.

I just hoped we wouldn’t get caught up in something dangerous. "You want to learn my language?" he asked. "It sounds hard… but sure, teach me the basics." "Just say, Ti Amo, Marito. That’s the only phrase I want you to learn." "Oh please, that’s so easy. Ti Amo, Marito! See? I’m great at this already. Ti Amo means I love you, right?" "Ti amo anche io, mia moglie." I froze. That sounded intense. "Wait—slow down. What did you just say?"

“I love you too, Amor Meus. In aeternum, cor meum.” Allistair blinked as he felt a sense of familiarity from the words Lucifer had spoken but still asked him. “Wait…What does that mean, Mi Alfa? I know many languages, but this isn’t one of them.” Lucifer’s hand came up to caress his cheek, thumb tracing slow circles over his skin. “Latin, Amor Meus. It means, ‘For eternity, my heart.’” Something within Allistair stirred. Something deep, pure, and fragile. His lips trembled as he closed his eyes, letting his tears fall freely. Every word Lucifer spoke lingered like a vow carved upon his soul.

Erin’s voice broke through the hallway, trembling with desperation yet startlingly loud. “Ti amo! Ti amo tanto, per favore, sposami in futuro!” (I love you! I love you so much; please, marry me in the future! She was kneeling in front of him, her heart laid bare, while dozens of eyes turned toward her. A ripple of laughter moved through the crowd. To them, she looked ridiculous—an overdramatic girl humiliating herself in public.
