“Skyler hurry up… We are getting late…”
Sarah yelled from the living room.
“What can you expect mom… He is always late. So called king…”
Sarah’s eighteen years old daughter Bella rolled her eyes.
“Bella!”
Sarah gave her warning look. Skyler and Bella always fights like Tom and Jerry.
“Coming mom…”
Skyler came out of his room.
Sarah looked at him adoringly as he came down from the stairs. He was wearing black tuxedo and was looking like young Xavier.
Same eyes and same face. It’s like he is Xavier’s twin brother. While Bella was exact replica of Sarah.
They have literally gave birth to themselves.
“Sorry I am late”
Skyler smiled. Even his voice was same like Xavier.
“It’s your wedding day Skyler… At least you could have come on time today…”
Sarah scolded.
“It’s my wedding day… You shouldn’t scold me like this…”
He grinned.
“Don’t worry, we will be on time…”
“Where is dad and Roy… They are late too and you are scolding me…”
He complained.
Sarah sighed.
“Wait here… I’ll be back…”
She said and walked away to look for her husband and another son.
Bella grinned evilly at Skyler.
“Poor guy… Do you realise that your batchelor life is going to end tonight… I feel pity for you…”
“What’s the difference… It’s not going to change anything…”
He rolled his eyes.
“This marriage is just a deal… I am going to takeover, dad is going to retire soon…”
“You would have got everything either way… Why are you getting married…”
She rolled her eyes.
“Because I respect mom and dad… They want me to get married so I am doing it. What’s the big deal…”
He shrugged. In all these years Skyler has totally changed. He wasn’t that sweet boy anymore. He has adopted his father’s nature and diplomacy.
“The big deal is you don’t love the bride and she doesn’t love you…”
Bella countered.
“Love is not necessary to get married…”
He rolled his eyes.
“It’s necessary… Have you seen our parents… They are madly in love with each other…”
She replied.
“It worked for them that doesn’t mean it’s going to work for me too… I am not a lovey dovey guy… And she doesn’t love me either so it’s not going to cause any problems… Don’t bother me again.”
He scolded her.
“You are bastard. you are boss here that doesn’t mean I am scared of you… Others might be scared of you but I am not… And Love is important.”
She glared at him.
“So you love all your fuck buddies…”
He spat and she gulped nervously.
“Don’t think I don’t know anything about you… I notice everything. Don’t forget it’s my responsibility to protect you and Roy. I have a long list of boys whom you have fucked till now, with name and address… So you better not mess with me…”
He smirked.
“You should be thankful that I haven’t given that list to dad or mom…”
Bella looked at him nervously. She knows that Skyler is selfish, he won’t think twice before telling Xavier everything. And she doesn’t want that, her father will kill those boys, He is unnecessarily overprotective.
“What list?”
Bella froze in her place when she heard Xavier’s deep voice. She looked at Skyler who was Smirking evilly at her.
“Nothing important dad… Actually she was making list of places where I can go for honeymoon… Isn’t it princess?…”
He mocked.
“Okay let’s go… We are getting late…”
Xavier said.
“Come princess… Roy will go with Skyler…”
“Yes dad…”
Bella sighed in relief and walked out with Xavier and Sarah.
Roy looked at him suspiciously.
“It was something else… Isn’t it?… Bella and your honeymoon list?… Impossible…”
He asked.
Skyler smirked and placed his hands in pockets.
“She has big mouth according to her age, I was just helping her to zip it up…”
“You are mean…”
Roy chuckled. He is 7 years younger than Skyler and Bella is 5 years younger.
As a older brother Skyler has handled all his responsibilities perfectly. He loves Bella even if he doesn’t show it but sometimes she annoy him like a spoiled brat.
“Come on otherwise mom will kill us…”
Roy dragged him out.
“Your bride must be waiting for you…”
Skyler scoffed.
“Impossible…”
He knows that she will do anything but wait for him.
Roy Huffed.
“Why are you guys even getting married… She doesn’t love you and you doesn’t even know her properly… You guys have literally made a deal… And that girl is little weird, she is a fucking robot..”
“I don’t care… As long as mom is happy, I am happy…”
Skyler shrugged it off.
“Dad is there to keep her happy…”
Roy said.
“You don’t need to do this… Marriage is lifetime commitment and that shit scares me…”
Skyler chuckled at his words.
They finally reached the venue. Almost all guests has arrived.
Skyler walked inside the hall which was huge and decorated with royal theme. It was mafia wedding afterall.
Damian and Rose greeted everyone. Sarah was beyond happy. Damian’s daughter Rosetta and Skyler was finally getting married.
Skyler kissed Rose’s hand.
“Good evening, beautiful…”
Rose smiled.
“Good evening son in law…”
Skyler pouted playfully.
“This is not fair… You literally betrayed me, you promised me that you will marry me…”
Rose chuckled.
“I am giving my younger version to you… Handle with care…”
“Nahh… He can’t handle my tigress…”
Damian Smirked.
“We will see…”
Xavier rolled his eyes, defending his son.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“You will see…”
Damian scoffed.
“Stop it both of you…”
Sarah scolded.
“Where is Rosa?…. Skyler go to the aisle…”
She said.
“I’ll bring her…”
Damian said and walked away after pecking Rose’s lips.
“We are finally going to become a family…”
Sarah said excitingly to Rose.
“Yes!… How is your health now…”
Rose asked.
Sarah looked at Xavier and her smile fell. It’s been chaotic but everything is fine now.
Still can’t tell him that she remember everything.
Skyler went to the aisle and everyone took their seats. He was still thinking about that day. He couldn’t resist himself. The way she was attracting him towards her was scary. He loses his senses whenever he touches her. And it’s just a beginning, now she will be living with him, in one room. Skyler has no idea how he is going to handle that.
He has weird feeling about this marriage. He couldn’t understand if he is excited or not ready yet. But he was getting impatient with every passing second, Rosetta was nowhere to be seen. He has become insecured after she said no to this marriage.
Skyler did his best to change her mind, he actually exaggerated the situation about this deal.
He doesn’t know if it was his ego or he really doesn’t want to lose girl like her.
He has mixed and confused feelings.
He looked at the entrance impatiently, for a second he thought that she is not coming. What if she changes her mind? What If damian called off this marriage?
His jaw clenched with the thought.
But as soon as he heard the sound of door opening his eyes snapped towards the direction and he couldn’t blink his eyes after watching his bride.
