Third Person POV
"So you getting married?" Marco questions, "yep" he says popping the p. Marco chuckles loudly, "I never thought I would live to see this day, my fratello getting married" he says in amusement making Alexander roll his eyes, "to an American girl for that matter" he adds, "well I wouldn't get too excited if I were you, after 2 years she's going back home" he shrugs, "why can't it be forever" Marco further teases annoying Alexander more, "have you ever seen me as a 1 woman kind of man?" He groans, "well I've never seen you choose not to kill a person, so this Tatiana is performing miracles" he says in amusement, "I have work to do Capo and stop acting like a nosey cagna in my life" (bitch) Alexander says grumpy making Marco chuckle before saying their goodbyes.

Tatiana POV
Sitting down in silence with Alexander having our breakfast. "I have a meeting with my men, I need you to come with" Alexander says breaking the silence, "why?" I ask confused, shrugging his shoulders, "you'll see". After breakfast he guided me outside, finding the men gathered up, immediately silence fills the atmosphere as he stood before them. "Gentleman, as you know, Working you always took orders from me and me alone" he says, "I have someone I would like to introduce you to" he says, placing his hand on my waist, gently guiding me closer as goosebumps appeared on my skin at his touch, "This is Tatiana Rose Zelda, future Mrs Giordano" he says, how did he even know my middle name, "her and I are getting married this Saturday. From now onwards, I expect the same respect you treat me with to also apply to her if not more. Whatever she says will go without question, or there will be hell to pay. If I see you looking at her in any perverted way, I will gorge your eyes out and feed them to you, are we understood?" He questions, "capo with all due respect, isn't she the girl that we brought from America who was suppose to go to the whore house?" One of the men question, "yes, she is, now she's my fiancé, have a problem with that I suggest you speak up now" he says, silence , "good, get back to work" he says immediately dismissing them. I didn't expect that at all.

~Later in the evening

Tatiana POV
The makeup artist being finally done with me. Looking at my reflection a small smile made it's way to my face. The makeup not too heavy, my face on full display due to classic lower bun. Putting on the dress in awe, along with the shoes. I stood in front of the mirror in pure disbelief .

Beautiful I look.
Something I've never called myself. Hearing a knock on the door, thinking it's one of the helpers, "come in" I say, gasping at the sight. Alexander in a black tux, along with a white shirt. His hair gelled back. He looks breathtaking, "you ready?" He questions, clearing my throat, "yes" I say. Looking back at him, "I have one more thing" he says, reaching into his pocket, taking out a small velvet box, opening it, my eyes widened

a huge diamond ring that looked like it cost more than my life, elegant but expensive looking. "May I?" He questions, unable to speak giving him my hand, slowly placing it on my finger, the ring looked amazing and it fit perfectly, "now you officially engaged" he says, my eyes glued to the ring, it looks breathtaking, "let's go" he says walking out the room.....my feelings were a little hurt that he said nothing about him how I looked. Well I don't blame him, I look nothing like Natalia. Getting in the car we drove off in silence, having nothing to say. The car coming to a halt we made it to the dinner venue, walking in he places his hand on my waist, standing so close to him I could smell his cologne, the restaurant empty, clearly booked out. Walking in further, "don't speak unless spoken to" he whispers in my ear, "keep your answers as short as possible" he says. Nodding my head. We walked in, finding a bunch of men dressed in suits, some of which I recognized from the dinner. One of the men walking over to us, "ah Giordano" he greets, his accent thick, but definitely not Italian, shaking the man's hand, "Mr Volkov, good to see you" he says curtly, looking over to me, "who's this gorgeous lady?" He questions, offering me his hand, placing mine in his, "Tatiana Zelda" I offer a polite smile, raising his brow to Alexander, "my fiancé" he gives a tight smile, his eyes widening, "well I never thought of you as a man of one woman" he laughs, shrugging his shoulders "Me either" he says. Walking over to the table, taking a seat to my relief. The heels were already killing me. The waitress walks over to me, "champagne?" She offers, "oh no thanks, can I just have a bottle of water?" I ask, nodding her head before walking off.

Taking a seat next to Alexander, the men began discussing. Alexander getting up from his seat, having the men's attention, "I have an invitation for every single one of you" he says, offering me his hand, reluctantly placing mine in his as I stood next to him, "This Saturday, I will be getting married to this gorgeous woman in front of me, her name is Tatiana Rose Zelda, and you are all invited, the details will be sent to you by tomorrow" he says politely before we sat down. The men's eyes wide in surprise, "what's the rush?" One of them ask, shrugging his shoulders, "what's there to wait for" he questions smoothly. "Oh well to the future Mrs Giordano" the man I now know as Mr Volkov raises his glass, "to the Giordano's" the men say before having a sip of their drinks. Having my meal in silence.

The evening was finally done, sitting next to him as the car drove down the road, the urge to ask him a question growing stronger, "just ask already" he says starring down his phone, "what?" "I can tell you want to ask me something, just ask"he says, clearing my throat, "di.....do you not like how I looked tonight?" I ask shyly, looking up at me, raising his eyebrow, "what makes you say that?" He questions, "I did call you gorgeous in front of those men didn't I" He says, "so you weren't just saying that?" I ask, "as your future husband you should learn I don't JUST say things" he says before going back to his phone. Not wanting to probe any further, relief washed over me. I don't know why, but a part of me cares what he actually thought of me........
