I haven't stopped thinking about what Diego had told me that night. I have been avoiding him and it has been working since I last saw him a month ago. He made me realise that I need to stay away from him because if I don't I might find myself in his arms again. I won't allow myself to fall for him, it can't happen.Today is the day, I fulfil my obligations and I get one step closer to my goal. I wasn't very excited about the wedding and I didn't bother to get involved in the wedding plans so Sophia and Mama planned it. They picked my dress, shoes the decoration, venue and everything. If it were up to me I would have not had an extravagant wedding we would have just went to court and got it over and done with but then again this marriage has to look real to the world especially to the Frenchmen who work in Sebastian's Mafia. This marriage can't be that pathetic right?
As I stood at the altar Pastor Rodriguez's words resonated through the crowded church. I was surprised to learn that some of the mafia members believe in God.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of God and in the presence of family and friends to witness the union of Andrea Luna Galanis and Sebastian Leroy in holy matrimony. Today, we celebrate the love and commitment that Andrea and Sebastian have promised to one another. Marriage is a sacred covenant, a beautiful reflection of God's love for us. As we gather, we remember that marriage is not just a human institution but a divine design, ordained by God Himself. This union is built on the foundation of love, trust, and mutual respect. It's a bond that strengthens with each passing day, through laughter and tears, in joy and in sorrow. Andrea and Sebastian, your love should be a testament to God's goodness and faithfulness. As you begin this new chapter, remember that love is patient and kind, as the apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 13:4. Love is a choice, not just a feeling. It's a decision to put each other first, to support, encourage, and forgive.
Marriage is a journey, not a destination. It's a path that winds and turns, but with faith, hope, and love, you'll navigate its twists and turns together. May your bond grow stronger with each passing day. May your love continue to be a shining example of God's grace and mercy. May you always find joy in each other's company, and may your love be a beacon of hope to those around you. As you exchange your vows and rings, remember that you are making a public declaration of your love and commitment. You are promising to stand by each other, through all of life's joys and challenges. Andrea and Sebastian, will you now please turn to each other and make your vows"
We did as we were told and we both repeated the vows the pastor had recited. " I Andrea Luna Galanis take you Sebastian Leroy to be my lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us apart," the moment I said those vows I felt a flutter in my chest because I knew they meant nothing to me.
"I Sebastian Leroy take you Andrea Luna Galanis to be my lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us apart," Sebastian said as he slid the ring and gently squeezed my hand afterwards.
"By the authority vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride." As soon as the pastor officiated it the whole crowd stood up and clapped, Sebastian and I leaned in for a kiss. The kiss was tender but it did not match Diego's kisses. As we were about to walk out of the altar a shot was fired and the next thing I saw Sebastian laying in cold blood on the floor. Sebastian's eyes widened in shock as he crumbled to the ground. Sebastian's right hand man Bruno rushed to his side to assist him and try to protect him from getting any more wounds from the shootout that was happening.
" Bruno leave it, it's fine. I won't make it. There is too much blood and I can't hold on for much longer. Please just .... Just do one thing for me. Take care of Andrea, brother she is one of us now, she rules the French mafia. Pledge your unwavering loyalty to her," Sebastian said as he started coughing out blood. His body twitched one or twice before lying still and then I knew that he was dead. Shards of glass started raining down as more shots began being fired. Before I could take out my gun from my thigh I felt a shot fired hit me on my chest as I felt a searing pain near my collar bone. Before I knew it shots were being fired everywhere and screams had filled the place. My vision started blurring.I could hear my brothers shouting my name from afar before I lost consciousness.
