His wife

5

Next morning i woke up at 8 AM because Matteo's mother was going to come and get me so we can go and look for wedding dresses and other preparations, if it was my real wedding and i was getting to someone i truly loved, I would've been thrilled to do it all, but not in my situation, I'm being forced to marry that beautiful dangerous man, surprisingly a man that was more considerate than my own father towards me.

*Knock on the door*

"Come in"

"Signorina, Signora Morelli is waiting for you downstairs"

"Thank u Ciara, I'll be down in a minute!"

I was ready already i just wore my heels and grabbed my bag and went downstairs.

There was Matteo's mother talking with my stepmother.
They heard me and she turned her head to me. She was a beautiful woman she looks like she's in her 50s but she's a really well fit woman hair down shoulder length, brunette and beautiful blue eyes, i see where he gets the looks from.

I went to shake her hand but she scoffed, smiled and opened her arms and hugged me tightly, i was shocked by the sudden affection, I could feel her motherly love, a feeling I've lost years ago, i hugged her back and pulled away,

" Nice to meet you signora Morelli"
"Oh please bambina no need for formalities, call me Luna" she smiled at me while i turned my head and looked at my stepmother that was looking at us like she was disgusted but she tries to hide it.

"Flora id love nothing more than to stay longer but we have a wedding to prepare if you'd excuse us we'll be going"

"Of course Luna anytime have a nice day" she puts up a fake smile as she waves while we go out the door and head to the car.

We get in.

She sure is a bubbly woman and loves talking, she seems so genuine, how did she manage to keep herself this pure while being a capo's wife.

" Dear, i know it's hard for you, preparing a wedding you didn't have no say in it, but i promise you, Matteo will never let anyone hurt you, and he'd never hurt you cuz I'd break him in two but besides that, he may be the cruelest man in earth but still, he'll show love and respect to women, Matteo is just like his father, cruel and dangerous, but has a soft spot for you when they love you and never let go of that".

" i hope so signora, i just wanted to be free, to be free to love and to live, but it seems like the world i was born in will never allow that"

She turned to look at me and grabbed my hand.
"Who said that life isn't giving you a chance to love someone? What if it's my son?".

I couldn't find words to say, because that'll never happen i just looked away until we got to our destination.

We've been looking for wedding dresses for 20 min but I can't find myself in none of them.

" Angelina cmon i know you can do better then this, don't you think a Morelli bride deserves something more special?"

Angelina the designer smiled and turned at me.

" I was waiting for you to try these simple ones signora but actually i have something special prepared that Signore Morelli personally chose, two dresses".

Whattt?!!

He now gets to chose what i wear to the wedding?

Luna could see from my expression that i was not happy with what was going on.

" Just give it a chance Anastasia please, maybe you'll like them".

I went and tried the first dress, i actually love it, I've always dreamt of wearing a dress like this for my wedding, but it makes me sad that I'll not wear it for a marriage that comes from love.

When Luna saw me she was thrilled she loved the dress, she made me try the second dress which was a lot simpler than the first one but still, it was elegant and beautiful, he really has good taste, surprisingly, I didn't expect much to be honest.

All of our day went by looking at the wedding venue, invite cards and decorations and a lot of other things that i could care less about but am forced to care about.

I can't believe I'm getting married at the end of this week...
