[FINISHED] Bound by Debt: A Mafia's Redemption

Special Chapter: Love

THE day dawned bright and clear, as if the world itself had decided to celebrate with them.

Vince and Lila’s home had been transformed into something out of a dream—soft white flowers cascading along the railings, warm lights twinkling above, and the quiet hum of loved ones filling every corner. It was everything they never thought they would have… and now, finally, it was theirs.

Upstairs, Lila stood in front of the mirror in her bridal gown, her fingers lightly brushing over the delicate fabric. For a moment, she just stared at her reflection—taking it in, grounding herself.

She made it here.

"Lila," one of her bridesmaids whispered, "you look… unreal."

Before she could respond, Alek’s voice cut in from behind them.

"Of course she does," he said confidently, arms crossed. "Mrs. Luca-to-be has standards to meet.”

Lila laughed, the nervous tension easing from her shoulders. "Alek, are you sure you can handle being both my assistant and bodyguard today?"

He smirked slightly. "I’ve trained for worse. Guarding you is easy. Fixing a wedding dress? Now that's a high risk.”

The room burst into soft laughter.

Lila shook her head, smiling. "Well, let’s just hope you don’t have to tackle anyone walking me down the aisle."

"Only if someone objects," Alek replied dryly.

That earned an even louder laugh from the bridesmaids.

Then suddenly, Lila paused.

"Wait… where are my kids?"

There was a flicker of concern in her voice.

Alek softened slightly. "Your baby’s with my wife. Safe. And the twins? They’re with Mr. Luca."

Lila exhaled, nodding. "Okay… good.”

In another part of the house, Vince crouched in front of Jacob and Jashe, adjusting their clothes.

"Alright, you two," he said, trying to sound serious, "no chaos today. This is important."

Jacob grinned instantly. "No promises, dad. Jashe and I might have a few surprises up our sleeves.”

Jasxy nodded like she fully agreed.

Vince sighed, shaking his head as he fixed Jacob’s collar. "Just… behave for five minutes. That’s all I’m asking."

"We’ll try," Jashe said sweetly.

Which somehow made Vince trust them even less.

Still, he smiled, ruffling their hair. "Stay close to me, okay?”

The ceremony was everything it needed to be.

Simple. Emotional. Real.

After everything—after the pain, the fear, the chaos—she was here.

Walking toward him.

Choosing him.

Their vows weren’t perfect, but they were honest. Raw in a way that mattered more. 

And when Vince finally pulled her close and kissed her, sealing everything they had built together—

The world seemed to pause.

Then the applause came, loud and overwhelming, filled with joy. Even the men stationed discreetly around the area couldn’t help but smile at the happiness radiating from their bosses.
