The Croesus' Bride [Completed]

Lucca Giovanni's POV

"have you done enough damage, mother?!" I hissed at my mom when she was being all defensive again. Oh, not this time, not when it involved the person that I loved.

"well, they all the same. The Contis cannot be trusted. They broke my marriage," she said as she looked around at the guests who started to ignore us when Laura was out. I rubbed my face with my hands.

"what broke your marriage is your greed, not Laura or her mother," was all I said before I went out of the ballroom. My father stopped me in my track.

"I know what you're going to say, dad. I don't regret it," I said before he held up his hand.

"I know son, I felt it too. I just waited for her children to say that. Go find her," he said before patting my shoulder and went to look for my mom. I smiled at the relief that my dad will always on my side and he approved of Laura.

"your excellency, what about the ball?" Antonio asked me as I was about to leave.

"you handle it. After all, you're the best," I said before I patted him and went out to search for Laura.

I punched the elevator but it was taking too long to get there. I was frustrated as I looked for another alternative. I found a door that leads to the stairs and took a deep breath before went to the peak of the hotel. I was exhausted when I arrived in front of the room but I had to get to Laura. I knocked twice before I went inside.

it was pitch black but I can see that Laura was sitting down in front of the window. The moon was shining so brightly tonight that I can see her was sobbing and cried all by herself. My heart died at the sight that she was alone. Left alone by her father and brothers, always in the corner. She was never like that when she was little, playing with me goofy. I noticed that she changed when she went to the same college as me. I went to her side and sat beside her.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" I tried to lighten the mood as I looked up in the sky for the moon and the stars shone brightly.

"Why are you here, Lucca?" She said as she was wiping her tears.

"nothing. I just wait for my bride on the dance floor but she never came. So I thought I might spend some time with you," I said goofy at her. She punched lightly on my arm. I chuckled at her reaction before she went silent.

"Am I a bad person, Lucca?" She asked all of a sudden. I sighed.

"no, you're not, Laura. If anything, you matter the most to me and I know that you're not a bad person," I said as I took her hands into mine.

"look at me," I said to Laura as I pulled her face toward me. She looked so fragile now as I can see that her face was streaming with tears.

"it doesn't matter what my mother said. What matters is that you love me and I love you, forever and always," finally I said the L-word. I was shocked but Laura even more. She blinked a few more times before she could master the meaning of my talk.

"I'm sorry, did you just, did you just confessed?" She asked confused at me. I laughed at her before I caressed her cheeks.

"yes, Laura. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you!" I said before scooping her into my arms and twirled around. She laughed and that was the first time I heard her genuine laugh. I stopped spinning and looked at her face. She holds me steady as I was.

"now that we established our feelings, I think my wedding night is overdue," was all I said as I went to walk into the bedroom.

I gently put Laura on the mattress and kissed her roughly. I went to her gown as it was exposing her shoulder blades and she was busy to get me out of my tuxedo. I was hovering her as she pulled me closer. I was roaming her body as she writhed under my touch.

"Lucca…" she whispered as I went to take off the zipper of her dress.

"Shh… in a moment, love," I said as I pulled it down her body. I was amazed by the sight of her smooth, pale skin under the moonlight. Her white, lace thongs and matching bra were to die for. But, Laura went to cover her scar that reminded me of her kidnapping. I held her hands as I went to look into her face. She looked at me, pleading not to show it to me.

"Please, Lucca. I felt ugly," she said before I kissed her mouth and moved onto her scar.

"no, dolcezza, it is the evidence that you're a strong, brave woman that I am lucky to call you my wife. But it also reminded me that I am a failure to keep you safe," I said as I traced my fingers on her stomach.

"don't say that. You did come to save me. Better late than never," she said as she got up to look at me in the face. She caressed my face with love as I looked at her. I can feel that my desire and lust were showing in my eyes as she was the same. I held her gaze steady as I removed my jacket, tie, and my shirt. I stood up from the mattress to get out of my trousers and left me in my boxer. Laura laid back on the mattress as she was posing to side with her right hand holding her head steady, eyeing me up and down as I went to get out of my clothes.

"Liking what you see?" I asked, smirking at her.

"hmm, I don't know. I already saw someone that was far leaner and fit than you, Mr. Giovanni," she said as she was playing with her bra. My groin jumped at the seduction sight that she posed for me.

"Oh, I think you will found me greater than that person," I said as I pushed her back on the mattress and trapped her hands above her head. I kissed her neck and went to her collarbone, on top of her breast before playing with her bra.

"I think this was in the way," I said as I unhooked her bra and threw it on the floor. Her ample bosom greeted me as I looked Laura was blushing under my gaze.

"Lucca…" she whispered as she arched her back to push her nipples toward me.

"what do you want, dolcezza?" I said as I caressed her left breast. She moaned at the contact as it erected under my touch.

"say it, dolcezza or I can't give it to you," I said teasingly as I took her right breast into my mouth. My tongue circled her nipple as she cried out of ecstasy.

"you, I want you, Mr. Giovanni. Show me how to be your woman," she said as I took her left nipple. My tongue circled it before I released it with a pop.

"my woman only," was all I said before I took off her thong from her slender legs and my boxer in the process. I spread her legs in front of me and I can smell her sweet juice was flowing for me.

"so wet, so eager, so ready for me," I said before I pointed the tip of my groin at her feminine opening. Laura watched me as I worked my ways with her body and she writhed, moaning and grunting as I pushed it inside her tight hole. It was magical.

"Remember what I told you, Laura, relax," I whispered into her ear before she relaxed her tight hole and I slide in, breaking the hymen in the process.

"ow, that hurts," she said before I kissed her to forget about it and just focused on the moment that we were together.

Antonio Romano's POV

Since Mr. Giovanni went after his bride, I was left in charge to handle the party and make sure that everyone was having a good time. I saw that many people were happy and satisfied with my work here. I just making rounds to make sure everything was to their liking until I can across the best man, Nathan White. Strong, lean, muscular. His brunette, wavy hair and grey eyes. I sat next to him and ordered a whiskey on ice for my 10 minutes break.

"Stressful?" I asked as I tried to make a conversation with him. He smiled as he took a sip of the Chardonnay.

"a little, just tired I guess," he said as he twirled the wine in his glass. I took one shot and slam it onto the table.

"I'm not sure if that's possible but thanks," he said before putting it into his pocket.

"oh, everything is possible, honey," I said while I patted his shoulder before I went to make my round. I looked back at him to see that he was contemplating his decision before he took one shot and went out of the ballroom.
