Love Crumbles on the Wedding Eve

---- Chapter 7 IThummed softly, a long-forgotten sense of happiness bubbling inside me. I'd assumed I would be dissatisfied with this arranged marriage. Instead, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Suddenly, my phone lit up from a call from an unfamiliar number. I had an inkling who it was, but I took the call anyway. "What do you want, Simone?" I asked. He was momentarily taken aback. His voice sounded cold and restrained when he spoke again. "Are you done throwing a tantrum, Zoe? Do you really think moving out and resigning will stop me from marrying Jasmina?

"T told you already, I'm only helping her out with this marriage. Why are you making such a big fuss out of nothing? Come back quickly. Firing you was just a joke. Once her parents give in, I'll marry you again." It was as if I'd just heard the funniest joke in the world. " Did you not check Facebook, Simone? We've already broken up. Who you marry is your business, and I don't care. And you want to marry me again?" I scoffed before continuing, "Simone, the biggest regret ---- of my life is ever meeting you. We're both about to get married soon, so don't contact me again.

I wish both of us happiness in our marriages." Simone's breathing seemed to stop on the other end of the line. His voice started to tremble. "What do you mean .. Happiness in our marriages? Are you getting married? You've only been gone a few days! "Explain yourself, Zoe! What's going on? Say something!" His emotions grew out of control, but I ended the call without hesitation. A beautiful night like this didn't deserve to be interrupted by someone who no longer mattered. Early the next morning, I opened the door groggily, only to run straight into Rosario, who was wrapped only ina towel.

Before this, he had looked tall and lean, dressed in a suit. Now, stripped down, I finally saw how he was the boss of a mafia famiglia. Rosario's chest, arms, and abs were perfectly toned. Even the old scars scattered across his body didn't make him less perfect. If anything, they added a rugged sexiness. ---- I woke up in an instant. "You... Your physique is really impressive..." Rosario looked at me and chuckled lightly. "Well, it feels good too. You'll understand when you touch it for yourself." My face immediately flushed red. Laughing heartily, he turned and left.

The same mischievous smile lingered even as we entered the jewelry store. The salesperson brought out a pair of rings, set with delicate green diamonds. "Green?" I asked. Rosario hummed, eyes flickering with something I couldn't read. "You look good in green." He then tilted his head toward me. "What, don't like it? We can change it if you don't." T shook my head. "I love it. Green is my favorite color. I just didn't expect my wedding ring to be green." "Wedding rings can be of any colour." Rosario said firmly, "Wasn't that why you ran from your famiglia back then? For freedom?"
