Chapter 138

Third Person

Today’s the day. Today was officially the Wedding of Ella and her men. Ella currently within her room along with Alana and Kris. Both of whom were there in helping her finish while Mrs. Foster worked on getting Elijah and Faye both dressed.

Reece and his brothers along with Hayden and Grant each within a different part of the house as they all move to get themselves ready as well. The air buzzing with excitement as those who were present began to be seated.

“Man, talk about crazy” replies Dylan as he continued to dress.

“Your telling me. Yet, after all the crazy shit we had to go through to get where we are now, I’m just happy to finally be here with Ella” explains Caleb just as he finished with his tie. Reece off facing a mirror as he worked on his own tie.

“Speaking of crazy shit, we’re not out of the woods just yet. Not until Nicholas and James are both dealt with as well” replies Reece. His own eyes soon on his brothers as he moves to look at each of them in turn.

The three of them now silent. Neither of them sure on what to say or do as the realization of what they were facing soon dawns on them. The small fact that Nicholas and James along with Hannah were still out there, left them all feeling uneasy. The room suddenly silent until Grant moved to speak up.

“Okay enough thinking so negatively. Today’s supposed to be special. Besides, the best thing you can do for both you and for Ella is to relax. Plus, Antosha and your Uncle both have the place secured. No one is allowed in or out until the ceremony is done. So don’t worry on Nicholas as Ella will be heavily guarded.”

“And whose to say that Antosha’s men won’t move to betray him. I mean, after all, there all Russian and so is his son. Who’s to say they won’t magically switch sides in favor of the other?”

“Because they won’t, not unless they want to feel his wrath once he finds out.”

The threat of Antosha killing his men soon lingering within the air. The thought of his men disobeying him in favor of his son rising and while some might consider it cruel and unnerving it was the facts that made giving the punishment easy. For being in the Mafia was hard and if you didn’t follow the rules then you were handled accordingly.

A thought that soon soured the mood as they all move to shove it away. Not one to dwell over the small stuff as each of them move to finish up. Reece along with Dylan and Caleb as well as Grant and Hayden soon ready to head out. Reece quick to speak yet again.

“Okay you guys, enough talk about death and that scum bag Nicholas. It’s our Wedding night so we need to be present for when our woman moves to walk down the aisle, not have our minds focused on something else.” Reece quick to switch mindsets as he then moves to exit the room. Dylan and the others soon doing the same before each of them move to head for the altar.

Ella

Today’s the day. Today I’m finally marrying my men. Butterflies quick to consume me as I continue to stare at myself within the mirror. Kris applying last minute touches to that of my hair. My hair pinned elegantly with beautiful diamond hair pins. My makeup both light and airy as I move to admire my gown. A gown I had chosen now sat perfectly along my body even after rushing to have alterations done.

My eyes quick to spot Elijah and Faye. My twins. My precious babies who were now dressed in cute little outfits as they laid sleeping within their bassinet. My attention soon shifting to that of Alana and Kris. Both dressed in beautiful lilac dresses that hugged both of them perfectly even though Alana was against it at first.

Alana not one for dresses but after much coaxing from my end did Alana finally agree so long as she could still carry a weapon of some kind. Mrs. Foster also in something cute other than her typical uniform. A smile soon rising as I finally turn to those within the room.

“Well… how do I look?”

“Like a beautiful star”

“Like a million bucks”

Their words quick in making me blush. “Guys, stop. Your making me blush. Don’t be so modest.”

“But why not? Because it’s true. Don’t ever sell yourself short, you deserve this and a whole lot more if you allow it.”

A sigh quick to rise. “Your right, thanks Alana.”

“No problem” smiles Alana. Alana one of the rare few who didn’t like to share her emotions but when she did, it always brought me extreme joy.

Suddenly, there’s a knock at the door which catches our attention. Alana quick to approach in order to see who it was only to pause when seeing who it was. Her hand quick to lower her weapon when she instantly spots both Antosha and Rian. Both males quick to enter once Alana allowed them to pass.

My attention soon on them as I move to speak up. “Uncle Rian? Papa? What brings you both here?”

“We’ve come to see if we could both escort you down to your Wedding. Your knuckleheads are there waiting patiently for your arrival” explains Rian with a smile.

A smile rising at the thought of Reece, Dylan and Caleb. Rian’s new nickname for each of them when he found them being ridiculous. His eyes filled with nothing but love for each of them including me. Antosha refusing to comment even as he moved to approach me slowly. His own eyes shining with love.

“You look stunning sweetheart.”

“Thank you papa.”

Antosha quick to cup my face with his hand. A touch meant to be soft yet endearing before moving to speak yet again. “Are you ready to get married?”

“Yes” I offer. Not one ounce of uncertainty present as this was what I wanted. To be married to each of my men and love and cherish them for all of eternity.

Antosha soon smiling as both he and Rian move to offer me their arms. Both tasked with walking me down the aisle while Kris and Alana including Mrs. Foster all moved to walk ahead. Kris and Mrs. Foster both taking Elijah and Faye along with them as we began heading for the altar.

~ Altar ~

“Fuck” whispers Caleb. His eyes quick in seeing those present. The ceremony small by most standards yet still big enough to feel decent.

“Now what?” whispers Dylan, as both he and Caleb including Reece all stood upon the altar. Soft music playing as guests slowly filled the room.

“I’m suddenly nervous, that’s what.”

“Well stop it. There’s no need to be nervous. Everything’s going to be just fine so chill.”

Quick to nod, does Caleb attempt to compose himself. The last of the guest soon seated just as the music moves to change. The song “Here comes the bride” now playing as those within the room all move to stand. The doors eventually opening only to reveal Kris and Mrs. Foster.

Both quick upon entering as they slowly began there descent towards the altar, a baby within each of their arms. Alana soon next to enter as Reece and his brothers continue to watch the door. The doors quick to open once more only to reveal Ella along with Antosha and Rian. Both of whom were now walking her down the aisle.

Ella too focused on her men to look at those within the room. The butterflies from earlier almost double as she continued to walk down the aisle. The crowd along with Reece and his brothers all seeing the gown. A gown that left them all breathless even as Ella eventually reached the end of the aisle as Reece then offered a hand.

Ella quick to take the offered hand as they now stood in front of the other. Reece quick to whisper. “You look stunning Stellina.”

A blush soon rising at the name. “Thanks. You each look devilishly handsome as well.”

Reece, Dylan and Caleb each smiling at the compliment even as the Officiant moved to clear his throat. The attention now on him as he slowly began the service.

*Author's Note: Hey guys, sorry I'm only able to post this one chapter today. But I swear I really am trying to post more, but unfortunately I’m moving so I have to dedicate some time in packing my things. But should I find some time later today, I will try to post Chapter 139 and hopefully Chapter 140 as we’re drawing down to the wire before the very end. Until then, bye.*
