Jezzabelle Pov
"Surprise!"
I gasp as I walk into the backyard of my cousins house noticing all 10 of both my closest female friends and cousins were all gathered under a large sign with the words 'Wife-to-be' in bold black letters.
"Surprise Bitch!"
Kesaia shouts beside me, happily pulling me into a hug as I smiled seeing everyone walking up to hug me.
Of course Kesaia would be the person to set up a party the same day my parents were leaving the house in the morning to go on their business trip for the next 3 weeks.
Kesaia being the greatest best friend she is, knew that when we both wanna party and have fun it would only happen with the people we both were comfortable around and close with.
Standing in front of the big sign was 5 of my closest female cousins and 5 of my closest female friends. And yes, they all are either in the mafia family or already married into one.
"Come on! Let's sip Chardonnay and celebrate our little cousin finally getting married!"
My eldest cousin, Brandy cheers while pulling me towards the large table set beside her big pool in the backyard of her mansion I thought me and Kesaia would be visiting just to talk.
"I never thought a day in my life that my little troublemaker cousin here would be getting married, and especially to a Russian mafia leader! oh my gosh!"
Brandys younger sister, Berenice, gasp while clinking her glass with mine as I put on a fake smile when everyone else started expression their shocked and excited feelings they felt when the news of my engagement spread right after the night of the ball where I signed the secret contract that only my family plus Kesaia knows about.
In mafia families, marriage contracts and being forced to marry for the sake of our families way of life, was somehow considered normal.
But most families, especially the powerful ones, do not wish to let the news of marriage contracts and forcing marriages float around as if they were simply auctioning their own children off, even though they were, so they cover it up by some stupid lies about both sides of the sudden marriages falling in love out of nowhere and bringing the two powerful families together.
"Well don't keep us waiting, tell us how you two met and everything about how he proposed as well" Ashley, another one of my cousin says making all the heads at the table turn excitedly waiting for my answer.
As I was about to blurt out a random love story from the back of my head, my eyes wandered to the alluring green eyes that were locked on me from the doorway of the back door we all came out of to get out here to the backyard we're all sitting at.
It's only been a few days since Domenico has moved into the mansion with me and my family, and already he was keeping most part my mind occupied with dirty thoughts of us being alone for 3 weeks while the smallest piece of my mind was still trying to figure out how I could manage becoming a perfect house wife to the worst type of mafia man any woman being auctioned off to could want.
"Hello! Tell us about how you met that sexy fiancé of yours" Ashley says clearing my thoughts as the rest of my cousins added onto what she just said.
"Exactly! Your so lucky girl, you got a fine ass Russian man to be with for the rest of your life"
"I wish my husband had a sexy Russian accent, what the fuck? What's your secret?"
"Tell me your ways!"
"Okay okay! Let's all calm down, my best friend here will explain all the juicy details. But first! Let's get some more drinks up in this bitch!"
I rolled my eyes as Kesaia cheers loudly while watching some butler men came out of Brandys house holding trays filled with champagne glasses and other alcohol filled glasses.
"Yes! Finally some real alcohol" Kesaia sighs while taking two small shot cups from the mans tray.
"Cheers to the wife to be" Brandy says as we all lifted different types of glasses to clink all together.
....
After hours of drinking and coming up with random stories of me and my stupid lovely future husband, we all ended up changing into the cute bikinis Brandy had in her large walk in closet. Than afterwards started heading down to the large beach literally located just a few feet away from Brandys backyard.
Brandy made sure some of her men had a bonfire ready for us and our own little personal mini bar booth on the beach for all the drinking we will be doing for the rest of the night.
Music was playing as we all started dancing around the bonfire while noticing the sun was already setting on the beach.
As soon as it got dark, Brandy decided we all sit around the bonfire and play the most childish game of truth or date. I don't know if she did it because for the first time since college, we finally were all having fun together. Or if she was just doing it because we all were getting drunk out of our minds currently.
"Jezzabelle truth or dare?" Kesaia asks sitting next to me as everyone awaited for my answer.
"Dare"I mumble with a smirk as she smirks back at me.
"Since you're getting hitched soon, and you'll never be able to have another man for the rest of your life. I dare you to kiss that fine ass bodyguard of yours for at least 15 seconds"
As soon as the word kiss came out of her mouth everyone around the bonfire cheered, but their cheers turned into hoots and hollers after Kesaia finished the rest of her sentence. My eyes widened before shaking my head quickly hearing them all protest.
"Do it!"
"Do it!"
"Do it!"
I let out a groan before deciding to go through with the stupid dare. I don't know if it was the alcohol moving me or the dirty thoughts deciding to take action now that my body was more than 70% buzzed and full of energy.
I walked carefully towards Domenico standing by the mini bar with his usual emotionless stare. One of his nicely down brow went up seeing me stumbling towards him.
"Are you all right, Miss De Leon?" He asks noticing me trying to balance my body in front of him now nervously.
I looked back at my group seeing them all looking on excitedly waiting for me to do the dare.
Fuck it.
Turning back to Domenico, I quickly pulled him down by his tie, since he was way to tall for me and connected our lips faster than he could comprehend what was happening.
