I woke up today morning at the sound of my phone buzzing, I took my phone from the night stand and realized it was a message from an unknown number.

Good morning Love, Luca here!

Got your number through some of my resources, hope you don't mind

His message instantly brought a smile to my face. I remembered our last encounter and blushed thinking about it.

Good Morning Luca, No problem at all. How did you sleep?

I messaged him and waited for his reply.

Had good sleep amore, What are you doing today?

He messaged me back. Earlier yesterday dad informed me that I had to do wedding shopping as the wedding is in a week. So I will probably call Ashley and break the news to her and take her along for some shopping. I informed him about it.

Just wedding dress shopping with my friend Ashley

I messaged and instantly got a reply.

Can't wait to see you in the gorgeous wedding dress you choose.

I really didn't know why but talking to him instantly brought a smile to my face.

Thank you Luca, I am sorry to end this conversation but I have to get going, Bye Luca Take care.

Take care tesoro

I put my phone down and headed towards the bathroom and did my usual morning routine and changed into today's outfit which was a navy self tie crop top and paired it with some ripped jeans. I side parted my hair and curled it to give a natural look.

I called Ashley and asked her to meet me at the Mall, so I could talk to her and also do shopping with her. I went down and saw Elijah at the living area but he looked upset, when he noticed me he came towards me and asked

"Ana, Do you really want to marry him?" he question caught me by surprise.

 "What...' I started but was cut off, "I know you don't want to marry him, I will help you cancel this wedding all you have to do is run away." he said and I was stunned.

Why the hell will I run away? Luca doesn't actually seem so bad.

"Eli, can you let me talk?" I asked and he nodded. "First I will not and I am not interested in running away. Second I am fine with marrying him" I said causing him to look at me shocked.

"He seems good Eli, and I have to do this for our mafia." I said. "But are you crazy? You are marrying someone you don't love!" he said. 

"I know, but I really want to give this a chance." I replied. "Ok, if you say so but if he does something to you, you come to me okay?" he asked.

Is he fucking serious right now? Luca won't do anything to me. "Fine, Happy?" I asked a little bit angry. "Very" he replied. I informed him that I was going out and headed outside. He told me that dad was out in a business meeting and would soon be back and went off.

I quickly went to the garage and got into my car and sped off to the mall and of course guards were surrounding me. I soon spotted Ashley in the mall and went towards her and gave her a hug.

I immediately filled her in with all the recent events and she was astonished to hear it, Just like Elijah she suggested the same thing but I refused and explained it to her and we soon headed of towards the wedding dress shop. 

After seeing through various wedding dresses, I finally found one which I liked the most, It was an off the shoulder princess gown and it looked pretty huge and stunning. 

I bought the dress and I soon found a veil to go with it, I even bought white heels and some wedding necklaces to go along with it.

Next we went into another store for the bridesmaids dresses, Ashley and Linda were my bridesmaids. 

I had already asked both of them and Ashley replied a yes and Linda was damn shocked that I was getting married but somehow accepted and is flying to New York soon for my wedding.

We soon chose a merlot colored satin gown with a slit on its side. It was really pretty and even Ashley loved it, I quickly took a picture of it and sent it to Linda. She replied saying that she loved it. So we bought the gowns.

By now we both were exhausted as fuck, so we went to the nearby Starbucks to have a drink and soon we were on our way home.

I dropped Ashley at her house and returned to my house carrying tons of shopping bags in my hands. As I entered the living area both dad and Elijah were no where to be seen, probably at the warehouse I thought and went up to my room to put the bags. 

As I was in my room scrolling through my texts, footsteps were heard downstairs. It was Dad or Elijah who probably came back I thought and went to the Living area to find James there.

'Weird' I thought. As he is never here without Elijah or Dad.

"Hey James! What are you doing here? Dad and Eli.." I was cut by him.

"Are you getting married Ana?" he asked. "Ummm" I was lost for words, that was just so random, no 'Hi' or anything?

"I asked you something Ana, Are you getting married?" he asked again but this time more sternly and I kind of sensed some hurt when he said that. But why?

"Yes, James I am." I replied. He was shocked, he looked hurt. "But, do you really want this?" he asked. Now that's it I am literally tired of everyone asking me the same fucking question. Of course I am otherwise I wouldn't have agreed.

"Listen James, I am tired of listening to the same bullshit everyone's asking me. Of course I am okay with it other I wouldn't have agreed" I shot back.

"But you don't understand." he said. Now he was confusing the hell out of me. "What?" I asked. 

"Oh my god Ana, I love you! I do.. Are you too blind to see it? I have fallen in love with you since the first time I had ever seen you." he said. 

Now it was my turn to be shocked. He loves me? What in the world?

I have known James since I was 17 when my brother first introduced him to my dad and me and at that time he was 22 same age as Elijah. We both got along really well and even spent some time together, he was like a second brother to me after Elijah. My brother trusted him with his life and they were the best of friends.

"No James, You have got it all wrong... I don't and I can't love you, I see you as my brother ever since I was little." I said. He looked furious.

"No, No...No You are mine Ana, I can't give you to anybody else. I love you.. So be a good girl and cancel the fucking wedding!" he shouted. 

I flinched, never have I seen him soo angry. This wasn't the James I knew. After seeing I was scared he relaxed.

'Dad.. Elijah where are you?'  I thought as I was worried that the situation would go out of control.

He came closer to me and held both my shoulders. "Ana, don't agree to this wedding...." he said, I felt extremely uncomfortable and didn't reply. He thought for some time.

 "You know what, we will both elope together, that way it will be better." he said causing me widen my eyes in horror. 

"I am not coming anywhere with you, Please fucking understand." I shouted.  

He looked murderous now and if looks could kill I would have already been dead. "I.." started talking but was interrupted by another voice.

"What the fuck is going on here?"
