Chapter 70. Day 1 of the wedding

Aria POV
Today was finally our wedding day it was all happening so quickly I was nervous and scared but so excited at the same time. My emotions were everywhere I felt like I was going to cry and smile all at the same time with how overwhelmed and excited I was.

Caleb and I got separated since this morning and I hated it. I missed him so much but Layla and Aaron wouldn't allow us to see each other at all.

Layla said it was bad luck for Caleb to see me in my wedding dress. Layla and a few other girls that Caleb hired to do my hair, makeup and help put my dress on were in the room with me.

While Aaron was with Caleb somewhere far from me I'm guessing. I knew our wedding wasn't going to have a lot of people because Caleb didn't want all kinds of people at our wedding.

It was just going to be us with close friends which were Layla and Aaron and a couple of other people and I know all of the members of the Mafia were going to be here as well.

Caleb's members were already a lot of people he had over 100 members so it wasn't going to be that little of a wedding. "You look gorgeous Aria." Layla complimented me once the hairstylist finished doing my hair.

"T-Thank y-you." I said softly as I took a silent deep breath to calm my nerves. "What's wrong?" She asked me worriedly. "I m-miss C-Ca-Caleb." I answered, my lips trembling slightly as I tried my best not to cry.

"I know, you'll see him soon enough." She assured me. "Don't cry." She handed me a tissue to stop my tears from ruining the light makeup I had on.

I sighed softly wiping my sweaty palms against my wedding dress to calm my nerves down. I looked at myself in the mirror I looked so beautiful like a real princess.

I never felt so happy like I do today I mean since I met Caleb he changed my entire life and has made me the happiest woman ever but today, right now in this very moment I was the happiest and gratefullest woman on earth.

Today I was going to be officially his that thought alone scared me yet made me feel at ease at the same time. It made me realize carrying his last name would keep me safe but could also cause a threat in the Mafia world.

But I knew Caleb would keep me and our baby safe. When he finally came clean about his lifestyle and his psychosis disorder I accepted him for who he truly is.

I wanted to be in his world whether it's dangerous or not cause I know he will take care of me and keep me safe no matter what. He saved me from my horrible parents and made me not only feel but see the world for once.

For eighteen years I was held hostage in a house like a dog and slave. I couldn't experience anything because of them until he came along and changed all of that for me.

He barely knew me but he saw how badly they neglected me and saved me from them without me even having to beg or plead for savior. He saved me and was so patient and still is patient with me.

He always takes the time to make sure I'm okay and feeling okay. Within the first week of bringing me home with him he bought me everything I needed and didn't expect anything in return from me.

I will always be grateful for him and I'll never forget how good he was to me. I noticed no one was around me anymore and the door was open. I didn't think twice as I walked straight out the door with one man on my mind.

I looked around while holding my dress up so I wouldn't get it dirty. "Aria!" I heard Layla yell out my name far behind me. I ignored her and picked up my pace, practically running down the long passageway to find Caleb.

My palms were so sweaty as I looked around for him desperately. I missed him so much I couldn't handle being away from him another second.

"Caleb you can't go see her yet!" I heard Aaron say from around the corner. I rushed towards the sound of Aaron's voice knowing Caleb was there.
