The Devil and His Nightmare (ON HOLD)

Chapter 5

Periodot's POV

Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here in the presence of God and this company to join Deangelo Giovanni Mancini and Peridot Adeola Katia Lopez in the holy bonds of matrimony............ .etc. etc .........

While the pastor was going on with whatever they usually say before the vows,I took the time to take in my surroundings.The area was decorated with blue,white and silver simple yet stunning.

"Who gives this woman to be married?" was what stopped me from doing a full 360 on the spot.

"I do" Nico stated.

With that I was handed off to Deangelo who wore a stone face the entire time ASSFACE! At least pretend to be happy!!! was what my mind screamed.

The grip this man had on my hand made me want to punch him jeez.

The pastor continued on and on the usual vows were said from both him and I. I slipped his ring on it was nice a blue and silver ring titanium or platinum I,and by god hearing my name from from his mouth had me wondering how would it sound moaning it out or better yet screaming it out the ring was beautiful silver,blue and green and beautiful combination it oozed expensive.

"You may now kiss the bride" the priest chirped happily.

My head was met with a warm hand gripping it.For a moment we just stood there staring that was until the warm hand left my head and returned to its owners side as well as said owner taking a couple steps back.TALK ABOUT EMBARASSING.One of my eyebrows rose from this gesture, as he stood stone face and cold mannered I took a couple steps forward licked my lips and gently threw myself and my lip upon him.I felt his body go stiff and his mouth opened from shock I guess which all had me giggling inside.

After enjoying my momentary happy dance I slipped my tongue in his mouth and kissed him deeply leaving my mark inside of his mouth,it was a soul snatching, mindboggling,heart stopping kiss one I know he enjoyed.I pulled away looking up into his beautiful depths for eyes , grabbing  his hand as the priest said out "I give you Mr and Mrs Mancini".

The crowd erupted into loud cheers and reverie.I guess that brought him out of his haze because one mintue I'm holding Deangelo's hand smiling to the crowd next mintue I'm facing him and he's staring at me with a inferno in his eyes that made my core tickle with anticipation.After staring at me like death incarnate he stormed off the altar and out the church doors going to god knows where.

The crowd was silent guess this wasn't something uncommon.Nico just looked at me mentally saying  'That's my girl ' my reply was a big toothy grin.

Gracefully making my way down the alter,I made my way to greet Enzo,  giving him a smile and a kiss on the cheek which to my surprise he accepted and even embraced me strange.

Nico stood guard as many of Deangelo's family members and business associates congratulated me and my phantom husband.After mingling and such I spoke to my papi who was  obviously happy.

"Dotti my sweet baby I love you.I wish you nothing but success in your marriage.Always remember what I told you during training" Nico spoke sweetly with a tinge of sadness hidden behind his smile.

"Te amo papi.I love you always and forever.And yes I remember I am wind,fire,water and earth wrapped in one,I am the queen I manage my own destiny When theres no way I make a way,I am free never give up nor give in" ,my heart was filled with unspoken words but my eyes betrayed me by spilling soldiers of sadness down my face.

I wrapped my arms around him hugging him tight releasing all my emotions onto his suit jacket.He hugged me and whispered calming words while kissing my head.

Finally releasing the last of my tears I reluctantly let him go.

"Papi Te amo.I will call you everyday  video or voice Don't you worry I will make you proud.I love you and thank you for everything" leaning back in I gently kissed his nose something I always did as a child whenever I saw he was sad or angry this cause him to chuckle.

"My sweet baby good luck" Nico mused chuckling as he spoke.

I smile at my papi once again and turned towards the exit.While on my way out a cute man in a dark purple suit called to me.

"Miss Mancini,my name is Micah I am your personal bodyguard and here to escort you to your new home" he said.

"Hi Micah,you can call me Peri or Peridot.Now take me home cutie" giving him a genuine smile which caused him to blush.

Writers POV

As Peridot stood talking to Micah she couldn't help but notice his ears and cheeks were a faint pink.She smirked at this 'he's to cute' she thought to herself bringing her hands to pinch his cheeks.Micah couldn't help blush ten times harder compliments always make him go red hence his nickname 'red'. They both made their way out the church towards a black rolls royce,Micah opened the door for her as she bunched up her dress to scoot into the vehicle.

Micah closed said door and made it to the drivers side,closing the door before speeding down the road towards the capos house.

Zipping through the streets of Tuscany patiently waiting for what was to come.

Deciding to break the silence Peridot began to ask Micah questions to which he answered without missing a beat especially when it came to questions of his boss which made Peridot internally question Micah's loyalties.

In this world bodyguards are to guard your body not share things about you to someone they just met even if it's your wife.

While still chatting with Micah Peridot looked ahead seeing large stonegated compound came into view. Never missing a beat she assumed this was to be her new home, her assumption turned to fact when Micah pulled up at the gate and abruptly coming out of the vehicle to place his hands on a scanner. After doing so he returned,slowly the gates opened revealing a beautiful modern  house. Carefully driving into the compound Peridot to a deep breath calming herself for the storm ahead of her.
