The maddest obsession

Capitolo 4

Present day.

"Signora I don't think this dress is going to fit" Zia said as she tried all her best to lace the corset of my dress. My skin was so flushed right now , due to the countless numbers of times I had to hold my breath to she could lace the corset.

I couldn't help the eye roll I gave her "It has to Zia Salvadore said I have to attend his engagement party" i said with irritation laced in my voice while also trying to suck my stomach in to make things easier.

"If only you had stopped eating those sweets like I asked you none of this would have happened," Zia said giving the corset rope one last tug before tying the ropes together, and immediately I let out a breath I did not even realize I was holding .

I probably won't be able to eat anything at this point .

" I would go to the gym this week zia"I said giving her a hard glare with which she returned back with a scoff.

" That was the same thing you said last week Signora" she said as she still kept on grumbling about how much chocolate I ate.

Zia has been like my personal maid after my marriage to Alberto three years ago. She was really annoying sometimes, but don't get me wrong I still liked her . She reminded me so much of my mom.

After giving myself one last glance in the mirror, I finally made my way outside when I got a message from Salvadore

Salvadore: where are you.?

I quickly shoved my phone back into my purse ignoring his Message.

After Teca' s death, Salvadore immediately stepped in as the next don of the Italian mafia. He was Teca's right hand man anyway.

In this last three years my hatred for Salvadore kind of stopped . Because he was the one who helped and stayed with me when thing's really got tough for me. Even though I did not expect all the things he did for me from him.

Don't get me wrong we still got into fights occasionally , especially after he literally sold me off to Alberto for marriage with the excuse that he couldn't take me under his wing ,so he planned my marriage with one of his business partners Who so happened to be Alberto.

At first I was reluctant, but Alberto was sick anyway and most times spent his days in the hospital. According to the doctors his days are numbered.

He was practically a walking dead.

I only saw him sometimes maybe, when the doctors thought he could finally go home but then something usually came up again and then he would be taken back to the hospital. And I got to get my freedom.

" Good evening Gianna" Victor said opening the car door for me to get in.

"Thank you" I said offering him a small smile before getting into the car.

Salvadore was getting married to Dante Maroni's first daughter Lucia. I did not really know anything about the maroni's . But from what I heard from Zia , is that Dante and Salvadore will be new business partners, hence the marriage and that the maroni's where one of the the biggest mob families in Italy.

And they have been in the cartel business for like thirty years.

Immediately we go to the maroni's household I couldn't hold back my surprise. It was bigger than what i expected and way more bigger than Alberto and Teca's house put together.

No wonder Salvadore wanted him as his new partner.

Immediately I got in I was led to my dinner table by one of the ushers. I must say who ever decorated this place totally nailed it. It created this classic and elegant look.
