Chapter 27

After the ceremony, guests were directed to the event center where the aftermath party will be held.

A cocktail hour was held, the DJ played blues, jazz and other soft and cool music as they waited the arrival of the newly Weds.

Meanwhile, the bride has changed into something light and simple yet elegant. She's dressed in a long sleeved lace body hug gown, with a split exposing her right thigh down, and a pearl necklace and earrings to compliment it.

She is indeed stunning in it.

Vincenzo eyes scan her body from up to down, he release a deep groan when his dick made a twist at the mere sight of her.

She looks like a temptress, his temptress. A smirk find it way to his lips, as he thought of ways to lavish her body. He growl lowly thinking of the lustful attention she's going to attract to herself, men are dogs, they lust after everything feminine.

He knew they would have wet thoughts of his woman, it infuriates him to the core. He swore he would pluck out their eyes, if they stare at her for more than two seconds. Only him have the right to stare at her, because she belongs to him.

He pulled her against himself wrapping his arms around her waist, to think her back is exposed due to the dress been backless makes him cursed.

"Fvck. Sto così uccidere qualsiasi idiota che va a guardare la sua strada" He curse under his breath. (I'm so going to kill any idiot that dares to look her way)

Vincenzo is also insanely handsome in his black tuxedo, Ava couldn't help but stare at him all day. How can someone be so good looking without much effort, she seemed herself lucky to have married such a handsome man.

She knew she was in deep shit the second she knows that she will be marrying this Greek God, she knew she won't be able to resist such a fine specimen, she wasn't about to resist him either.

She shiver in bliss as Vincenzo arms made contact with her bare skin, wondering if he even feels the spark whenever they made contact. The door open revealing a mass of people staring at them, she immediately became self conscious and lean further to Vincenzo who happily welcome her.

"She's sugar, he's salt. She's zest, he's piquant..... Starting their marriage with a lot of flavors. Beginning the journey of a lifetime together, let's give it up for the newlyweds. Mr and Mrs Alfonso." The emcee introduce and the crowd went wild, cheering and applauding cheerfully.

They walked into the Hall, that has been transformed into what seemed to have came out from the movies. The hall was decorated impressively with lot of light and flowers around the hall, with three glamorous Chandler sparkling in the hall.

They took their seats on the throne like chair prepared specially for them, people came to congratulate them on their wedding. Compliments came from the different angles, while some meant well, some gave compliment in a mocking way.

"Everyone please settle down, foods will be served." The wandering crowd make their way to their seats, as the drinks were served first.

Ava's gaze swept the hall and a satisfactory smile grace her face, it was decorated exactly how she wanted it to be.

"It is beautiful." she utter to no one in particular still staring at the hall in awe.

"You like it?" Vincenzo whispered huskily in her ear, their sitting position was rather too intimate to her but surely the guest are in awe of how much they love each other and she wasn't about to give any suspicion. She gave a curt nod and focus her attention back to the event.

The emcee introduce the guests respectively, and tell a little joke to keep the mood lively. The sound of a spoon tapping on a glass grab everyone attention to the source, and saw it is Dante.

"Hello everyone, first of all. I congratulate the newest couple on the journey of a lifetime they started today, and also wish them a happy and blissful married life." He starts. "For those of you who may not know me, which in that case I find it weird, I'm Dante Alfonso. Yes the groom is my brother, but I won't say brother because he's more than just a brother. He's a second father to my siblings and I, our friend, saviour, role model and my enemy"

The audience went wild when he said enemy, even Ava was shock.

" I said enemy because once back in high school, I got into fight with a group of three boys and I got hurt. My big brother tenders to my injuries, and later he beats the hell out of me renewing the injuries. I was confused and angry for days, I thought he hated me." He paused, as the crowd now gave him their attention.

" I thought he want to make my life a living hell, because anytime I did something wrong he would beat me up so badly I couldn't stand up for days. I became jealous of Dario and Kara because I thought he was lenient with them, I've seen him scold them but never hit them. But in actual fact, he's only lenient with Kara, because the day I saw him beating Dario, it was worse than mine, Dario was in hospital bed for a week, again I thought he hated us both. I later realized that he never hated us but was making us stronger and stronger, for that I love you bro." 

"As for his bride, I know we haven't talked much or anything, but I know for a fact that she is special. She's the joygiver of our family, kind, accommodating, lovely. The light of his life and not to forget hot" Dante joke and a lot of men howled and whistles their agreement.

Ava blushed deep red, while Vincenzo hold around her waist tightens as a deep frown appears on his handsome face, scary those stupid men.

He wanted to pull a bullet in their heads, but stop releasing a shaking breath as his wife rub on his arms to calm him down.

"Don't worry bro, we all know she's off limits, besides I don't want to receive another beating of my life. Wrapping up this little speech of mine, I'd like everyone to join me and celebrate this happy union. A toast to the lovely couple." Everyone raise their glasses up and cheers.

"Would the maid of honor like to say something?" The emcee ask. Tricia stood up and made her way to the front, took the mic for the emcee.

"I won't say much, but as the best friend's of the bride and maid of honor, it is my job to give a speech about the happy couple right here." She point to the bride and groom.

"As we all know, the bride is my best friend so it's only fair that I know everything about her. She isn't the timid and fragile type of girl, quite the opposite. She optimistic, strong welled, not easy to angered but beware of a angry Ava. Above all she's a sweet and caring person, who puts everyone first, it's my blessing to meet her. And for the groom, I've known him for quite sometime now. He seemed tough, cold and scary but when you get closer you would understand the type of person he is. His ways of caring is completely different from others, as they say, you could only get to know what type of tree it is if only you get close. Conclusively, I wish you a happy married life, even when Ava said I would get married before her. Life indeed is a mystery and fate has its own way, once again congrats on your new life." She ended her speech and went to her seat, the crowd applause.

As soon as the speeches were over, foods were served. Different range of foods, lastly desert was served as well.

This whole time, Ava had been restless the feeling was back, disturbing her. She couldn't even eat, she just picked at her food. She groan a couple of times, why won't this disturbing feeling go away.

She felt that something would happen but have no idea what, she pushed her thoughts away as they were call for their first dance.

"Ladies and gentle men, if the bride and groom would please make their way to the center of the room, the first dance shall begin" The emcee announced, umm everyone has finished their meal.

Vincenzo grab Ava hands and was about leading the way to the center, when a gun shot was heard and the bullet hit the flower pot beside Ava's head. Everywhere was still for a mini second, before it broke into chaos.
