Mafia Men IV - Vincenzo's Temptation Chapter 104 - My Fiancée
Claire⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅Vincenzo departed for Chicago five days ago, and I found myself without a wedding dress or a wedding band for him.His silence left me yearning for a sign. No calls, no cryptic messages from unknown numbers; just an unsettling radio silence that instilled both fear and a profound sense of sadness within me. Preparing for the wedding on my own was tougher than I expected, with his absence hanging over everything like a dark cloud.Despite Bianca and Allegra's repeated offers to join me shopping, I politely declined. Even when Scott offered to pay for everything, I turned him down too. Numbness enveloped me; the idea of shopping for my wedding felt like an insurmountable task. It wasn't just disinterest – it was a profound disconnect from everything. I lacked the will to live, let alone engage in the preparations for what should have been the happiest occasion of my life. Bianca labeled it as depression, but I'm not convinced. It feels like even depression would hesi
Mafia Men IV - Vincenzo's Temptation Chapter 105 - I don't trust you.
Claire⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅I don't know where I was, it was an apartment, not as lavish as Vincenzo's other apartments but it was nice and cozy. On the top floor, the distant dots of people below only intensified the isolation, intensifying the nervous flutter in my chest.The quiet felt thick, every little sound in the room like the ticking of the clock echoing louder than it should. It was like the walls were holding secrets. Unease tingled through me. After Vincenzo shoved me into the car, he hopped into another one and took off, leaving me stuck with that repugnant Antonio. He couldn't resist stealing glances at me every two seconds through the rearview mirror, probably hoping I'd initiate some conversation. But I wasn't giving him the satisfaction – my lips stayed sealed.Stepping out of the car, I realized why he'd sent me here. The entrance screamed high security – strict protocols, no way out except through an elevator guarded by his thumb impression and his voice command. It was lik
Mafia Men IV - Vincenzo's Temptation Chapter 106 - Cold, Vicious Bitch
Claire⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅I woke up in bed, though I had fallen asleep by the window in the early hours of the morning, observing the gradual illumination of the sky. Yet, inexplicably, I found myself tucked in bed with him standing by the bedroom window – shirtless, sipping his morning coffee.He glanced back at me and realized that I was awake. A look of complete indifference across his face before he returned his attention out the window. As I slowly sat up, I absentmindedly combed my fingers through my hair."I really thought that marrying you was going to be the happiest day of my life..." he voiced, gazing into the distance. I stared at the side of his face, I wanted to say how I had thought the same. The plan I had in mind for our wedding night, the things I wanted to tell him but couldn't. I had to wait. "Now it feels like I'm making the damn worst mistake of my life," he spat out, a bitter sneer contorting his face. "What the hell am I even doing? Marrying you after the shit you p
Mafia Men IV - Vincenzo's Temptation Chapter 107 - I'm sorry...
Vincenzo⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅Aunt Alessia brushed away imaginary specks from my tuxedo, offering a teary smile as she meticulously adjusted my bowtie. Despite her efforts to contain the tears, they shimmered in her eyes.I planted a gentle kiss on her forehead, triggering an emotional surge. Overwhelmed, she enveloped me in a tight hug, succumbing to sobs."I wish she were here, witnessing how handsome her baby boy has become. If only fate had chosen me instead that day; at least then, you boys would have had your mother by your side," she whispered, her words finding solace against my chest, my chin resting atop her head."Please don't say that," I responded gently. "Your love has always been more than enough for me. You've never let me feel the absence of a mother. Besides, if anything had happened to you, it would have been unfair to little Allie—losing both her parents."Aunt Alessia withdrew, shaking her head. "She doesn't need me. Her loyalty lies with her husband and those people. They
Mafia Men IV - Vincenzo's Temptation Chapter 108 - Vows.
Claire⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅"I, Vincenzo Capone, take thee, Claire Elise Parker, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I pledge thee my faith," his voice was emotionless, almost robotic. His words flowed mechanically, as though recited from memory, devoid of emotion or pause for reflection.Adriano stepped forward with the ring and Vincenzo took it, he held my hand and slid the wedding ring onto my finger, "I give you this ring as a symbol of my love; and with all that I am and all that I have, I honor you, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit..." Now, it was my moment. I turned around, and Allegra promptly handed me the envelope containing my wedding vows. Nervous anticipation flickered in my eyes, betraying the emotions swirling within me. Extracting the paper, I glance
Mafia Men IV - Vincenzo's Temptation Chapter 109 - Reception
Claire⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅The reception party took place at a Capone family property, and it was exceptionally elegant and refined. The venue mirrored Vincenzo's appreciation for the finer things in life. Every detail exuded class, creating an atmosphere of luxury that elevated the celebration. Huge crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, giving off a soft, sparkly light that made everything look magical. Everywhere you looked, there were flower setups with special and rare flowers. The whole room smelled amazing, like a mix of all the best scents you can imagine.Live musicians were playing beautiful Italian music. The food was like a trip around the world, with really famous chefs making delicious dishes from different countries. There was even a special place just for caviar and they had options from the Caspian Sea. There were fountains with golden streams pouring out champagne, handpicked, vintage wines, each bottle a collector's dream, and the sommeliers were on hand to guide gues
Mafia Men IV - Vincenzo's Temptation Chapter 110 - The Afterparty
Claire⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅Stepping onto the cruise deck, I was greeted by an overwhelming sense of luxury. Goosebumps crawled over my skin as the night air hit me – it was freezing out there. Clad only in my wedding dress, crafted from the finest yet incredibly thin material, I instinctively wrapped my arms around myself to stave off the cold.Suddenly, I felt warmth enveloping me from behind. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw Vincenzo draping his jacket over me, a protective gesture against the chilly night."Thanks," I whispered, even though I probably shouldn't have, considering he was the reason I was freezing in the first place.Heading to the upper deck for the main after-party, the moment we joined everyone, it turned into absolute madness.I've been to some wild parties before, maybe even crazier ones, but never to a wedding after-party quite like this. Back home, in the Cosa Nostra, our wedding bashes were more on the traditional side. The Outfit's party tonight felt like a twisted t
Mafia Men IV - Vincenzo's Temptation Chapter 111 - Imagine
Claire⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅With that, he took out his blade—the sharpest one with the Capone emblem engraved on the metal. I instinctively took a step back, but he gripped my arm, holding me in place. I met his gaze, searching for any hint of the warmth that used to be there."What are you doing?" I questioned, my voice trembling.I was scared... I don't get scared easily, but right now, in this moment, fear has a grip on me like never before.The kind of fear that shuts me down, the kind of fear that takes me to another place... "I paid for this fucking dress, so I get to do whatever the fuck I want with it," his eyes gleamed with a sinister darkness. "I get to cut it, rip it to pieces, and even burn it. As for the woman wearing it, well, she too came at a considerable cost, just unwrapping what my millions purchased."He brandished the blade, a malevolent glint in his eyes as he placed the tip against my collarbone."Consider it my way of taking back what's rightfully mine," he said befor
