She purchased the dress and smiled knowingly with a hint of satisfaction playing on her lips.
They all left the bridal shop, with her tiredness, she still went to the hospital but was blocked by guards.
" We are sorry, ma'am, but you can't enter," one of the guards said, and she knew whose order they were following.
She took out her phone and called Antonio after it was picked she went straight to the point
" I saw the surprise you gave me, but I hope nothing happens to Anna, or else I am not going to take it easy with you".
Without even allowing Antonio to speak she hung up. She gritted her teeth, inhaled, and exhaled before leaving.
She knew it was a hospital and didn't want to cause trouble. She believed Anna was in good health.
She got home and did not meet Antonio; she went to bed without even eating, feeling exhausted.
The following day, which was the wedding day, Antonio woke Chiara up early in the morning, the makeup artist was already present, after she sluggishly took her bath, makeup was applied to her face revealing more of her beauty and the makeup artist couldn't help but compliments
" You are really beautiful miss, and I am pretty sure your husband would be mesmerized by your beauty." One of the makeup artists said with admiration.
"What is the essence when you are getting married to someone you don't know?" she replied casually like a person telling a child to go to bed.
The makeup artist was stunned but said nothing
" If there is nothing else you can leave," she said, her eyes gazing lazily at them. They all left after they were through.
At the wedding avenue, banners of Chiara and Leonardo could be seen hung outside.
Influential people from all works of life could be seen going into the five-star hotel, which is one of the biggest hotels in the country expensive cars were also packed.
Leonardo is already at the altar, with a nonchalant attitude as if he was not the one having the wedding. It could be seen that he did not give a damn about it, but his beauty is shining, making the girls envious of the lady getting married to him.
The wedding began, and soon, it was the bride's turn to enter. The moment the door was opened, they were all stunned, not expecting what they were seeing.
Stood by the door was Chiara in a long red dress that was slit to the thigh. It was off-shoulder, showing some of her cleavage. The dress was fitted on her body bringing out her curves. The dress looked like it was tailor-made for her but for the wrong occasion.
People started murmuring, but she didn't care. Leonardo was also surprised because he wasn't expecting his bride to be the rebellious type. He put his hand in his pocket casually and smirked.
Antonio was also full of shock wondering where she got the dress and why she wore it. He couldn't do anything and just sat down in his seat.
Chiara strolled down the aisle like a model leaving everyone speechless. She collected the microphone from the MC ignoring Leonardo.
" Can the husband come forward and present himself?" she said in a calm and melodic voice that was soothing to the ear.
"Well, he is right beside you," Leonardo said, staring at her.
Chiara glanced at Leonardo and was surprised, isn't she supposed to be getting married to that old man? Or did she get the wrong person, and isn't he the man who collected the paper that day?
She sighed and pushed her thoughts aside.
Micheal who was in his seat, had a calm expression, and people couldn't figure out what he was thinking. Maria looked at Chiara with interest, while Marco smirked.
"Oh, I thought I was getting married to an old man" Chiara blurted out with a straight and calm face.
Christina chuckled from where she sat down and turned to Marco, who was sitting by her right.
"She seems interesting and bold," she said still smiling
" I don't know what to say," Marco replied and glanced at Micheal, who still had a calm expression.
Antonio, on the other hand, felt like he could faint. The priest has no choice but to interrupt
"Um, can we start, please,," he said, looking at Leonardo, who remained calm.
"Sure," Chiara said, handing the microphone to the MC.
The murmors died down as the occasion began. The event went smoothly and they exchanged vows. The oath of the Mafia was done separately.
After the event, Chiara and Leonardo were taken to change their clothes.
In the room, Chiara looked at the clothes, it was a long white backless gown with a tiny hand. She wore the white clothes, and it brought out her curves.
She came out and saw Leonardo in a white suit that matched his temperament. She saw him look at her before turning his gaze away from her. She doesn't know what he was thinking and she doesn't care.
Soon, the party began, and they were asked to dance; reluctantly, they stood up and walked to the center of the hall and started their slo-mo dance.
Leonardo pulled Chiara towards him. Their distance is just a little, and they look intimate.
"Never knew I would be giving a rebellious wife," he said in a whisper.
His voice was calm and composed. Chiara smiled and looked directly into his golden eyes and said
" I thought my husband would be an old man who I could break his legs, but who would have thought I would be given a seductive husband that makes me have no emotions towards him "
Leonardo froze for a moment before regaining his composure in just a few seconds. He was about to say something when Chiara clutch her chest in pain.
"Anna," she muttered and ran out of the hall without looking back, causing everyone to gasp in shock.
Antonio was the first person to regain his composure and ran after her.
The Salvatore family looked at each other in a daze
Like what the hell just happened?
Leonardo looked at his arm, which Chiara was holding, before running away. It happened suddenly that people were slow to react.
This was the first time a bride would run away from the Salvatore wedding hall.
Michael's face turned ugly, and he couldn't maintain his calm expression while the rest of the family was still in a daze.
