A Narco's Wife

Ch. 31 Hopeless Romantics

Today is Carlitos and Rocios wedding.

Emmanuel is really excited for him.

I know how much he wants to see his brothers successful and happy in all aspects.

I'm excited too in a way, to have a sister-in-law.

I haven't seen much of Rocio but I'm sure I'll be seeing a lot more of her soon after today.

Carmen is coming over soon with a glam team to do our hair and makeup for today.

I get up from our empty bed to take a hot shower.

Emmanuel had an early morning meeting with the main heads again today before the wedding since it is an arranged marriage to create an official ally with Rocio's family the Casillas.

When I'm done showering I wrap my wet hair into a towel before changing into a crop tank top and biker shorts.

I lay out my dress and heels that I'm wearing tonight on the bed, along with a pair of diamond earrings and a diamond tennis bracelet.

I brush out my hair and go downstairs for breakfast.

"Here is your breakfast Senora" Hilda says placing down a plate of chicharrones en salsa verde with beans and tortillas.

"Gracias" I tell her as I sit down at the table.

I get a text from Carmen, "Buenos dias mija! I'll be over in an hour or so! I have Emmanuelitos tux with me too!".

I respond then begin eating.

"There is more on the stove if you'd like some more, I have to go to the venue to help with the wedding preparations" she tells me in Spanish.

I nod, "thank you Hilda".

I sit there and eat my food until I realize I'm getting thirsty.

I get up a grab a glass to fill up with ice.

I stand at the counter and fill up my glass with juice when Emmanuel walks into the kitchen.

"I just went upstairs I thought you would have still been sleeping" he tells me.

I shake my head, "I wanted to shower and eat early".

He comes over to me and wraps his arms around my waist and places his lips in the crook of my neck as I wrap my arms around him.

We've been trying to get into a better, stable place.

I'm trying to let go of what's gone on, and try to trust Emmanuel again, and he has been very attentive and extra affectionate to me the past two days, I know he's trying to show me he'll be better from now on.

It's just tough.

He places soft kisses on my neck as he hugs me.

"Do you want breakfast?" I ask him then kiss his cheek as we separate.

"Yeah I'm fucking starving" he says as he goes to sit down at the table.

I grab a plate and serve him the food Hilda made.

"You never eat in the mornings" I tell him in Spanish as I give him the plate and a glass of juice as well.

"I'm always busy" he sighs.

We both sit and eat.

"Are you excited for today?" I ask him.

"I'm excited to get business rolling with the Casillas" he tells me.

I roll my eyes, "but excited for your brother?".

He shrugs, "of course, I'm happy for him, it's a time to celebrate, they don't have a choice to not get married but I know he does like her".
