"Thea! I will go to the washroom." I said getting up from the chair and walked towards the door.

"Ok. I will come after you after doing the touch up." Thea said while applying the lipstick.

I nodded getting out of the door and turned left walking along the corridor.
After walking few steps I reached the washroom and pushed the door open.

I then entered inside and realized that I couldn't get refreshed. The gown is so long that I would have problem entering the cubicle and now I can only get released after changing this dress.

I looked down at my gown and pouted looking at the cubicles. Then I stood at the side of the door to wait for Thea and then I heard voices coming out from the side of the washroom.

I'm not interested in eavesdropping but when I heard Vincenzo name being mentioned my feet stopped on their own.

"Vincenzo Dominique is surely the most handsome and hottest man in the whole world. He was looking so damn sexy in the suits." A woman voice came which was too loud for my liking.

"Yes. Vincenzo Dominique is every woman's dream and many wanted to become his woman but..." Another voice spoke out sounding disappointment.

"You know I have never thought that the man who was out of reach would marry someone who doesn't match him." A voice spoke out which was similar to the first one and I deduced that there are two gossipers.

"Mm...Zeta Santorini is just a college girl who hasn't mature yet and I have heard that she is ugly. She never attends the party and avoid social gatherings. I wonder why some like Vincenzo married the ugly duckling." The second woman mumbled looking for a gossip.

"Why? You are asking? Who doesn't know the rich man tactics? There is only one reason." The first woman said as if she has witnessed the scene with her own eyes.

"What reason?" The second woman questioned sounding curious.

"If not for the business deal then what? Who doesn't know the rich people always want to become richer? Also Dominique and Santorini are the business partners so their share would be secure if they become in-law." The woman sounded confident of the answer.

"You mean to say that Vincenzo Dominique and Zeta Santorini marriage is a business deal. We will have the news of their divorce in the coming year."

"Business deal? What the fuck are you saying?" Then a loud voice boomed in the washroom and I turned to see Thea standing at the door.

"Zeta!" Thea called walking towards me and engulfed me in a hug.

"Don't listen to them. They are just envious of you." She said patting my back.

"Mm." I muttered pulling away from her.

"Bitches! Don't talk nonsense behind the back and think before you speak." Thea exploded walking towards the side and two women came out before Thea could walk further.

"We're sorry mam. Please don't report us." The women who seemed to be the staff pleaded looking at us with tearful eyes.

"Sorry? You just wait for the manager to fire you. How can I just let you go?" Thea shouted while glaring at the staff and I grabbed her arm to take her out of the washroom.

"How audacious that slut were?" Thea mumbled and called the manager to fire the lazy staff.

I didn't stop her as the staff were wrong to gossip during work time and I was somewhat affected by their gossip. But when I saw Vincenzo warm gaze after entering the hall everything fly out. And it was the time to say goodbye to my family.

"Pumpkin." Dad croaked out trying his best to hide his emotion and mom hold my older brother arm while giving me a sad smile.

"Dad." I whispered engulfing him in a hug and at that moment I wished I hadn't agreed to marry.

Mom and Zenon too joined the hug and it was like the family hug. Mom was the one to pull away and she wiped the tears that were flowing out. Dad then pecked my forehead like he always do and then he placed my left hand on Vincenzo's hand.

His hand was cold but still his hold made me feel secure and he lead me to the car which was waiting for us to take us home.

Home. Once my parents house was my home but now my husband's house will be my home. Vincenzo helped me to get in the car and for the last time I looked at my family who were having difficulty with sending me off.

Vincenzo then closed the door after getting in and the driver drove the car taking me away from my family. But my mom had told me that I'm going to my another family so I should be feel overwhelmed.

"Zeta." I hear Vincenzo calling me and he forwarded a handkerchief which I gladly accept and wiped my cheeks which were wet due to the tears.

"Th-Thank you." I managed to whisper and he squeezed my right hand which was on my lap.

I looked at our hands and his gesture made me to feel better. We didn't utter a word but the silence was the soothing one.

I find his gaze on my face and when I looked at him overcoming my shyness he gave a heartwarming smile making a smile to crept on my lips.

His intense gaze made me nervous so I rest my head against his shoulder hiding my giddy smile.

Within 10 minutes or so the car came to the halt and Vincenzo get out forwarding his hand to help me to get out afterward.

We then walked hand in hand to the front door and there his or my new family were waiting for us with a huge smile plastered on their face.

My father-in-law, mother-in-law along with aunt Mauley who is the housekeeper were waiting for us at the doorstep.

"Aww they are looking so cute together." Aunt Mauley squealed giving us a dreamy look and Athena, my mother-in-law nodded coming forward to take us inside.

"Finally." I heard father-in-law mumbled and he gave a soft pat on Vincenzo's back when we pass by him.

The home or may I say the mansion was nothing like the one I had been living and I was kind of surprised when I saw the Dominique family at the front door.

I had heard Vincenzo live on his own and his family would meet up during weekends as the Dominique men are busy but I feel good to have them here.

"Welcome to the family." My mother-in-law beamed while giving me a hug and I looked at my new family.
