Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Very big trouble RAPHAEL
Was this what being a groom felt like?
I was bored to death.
Weddings don’t seem like this in movies.
I stared at everyone, they all looked so wealthy and sophisticated.
We danced earlier but it was just the slow dancing I had practiced with Dante before.
For God’s sake, bring on the music and let’s hit the dance floor.
Damn! I miss the old days at Puerto Vallarta.
“Enzo...congratulations, man.”
I turned around to face three men.
They looked as young as I was.
“Thanks.” I let out and my eyes searched through the lawn for Dante.
He caught my gaze and hurried over to me.
“Wow...Dante, you’re still following Enzo around.” Another said and they laughed including Dante.
Was that funny?
Dante moved closer to me and whispered. “They’re Enzo’s friends from high school.”
“But don’t you think you got married too early?”
I frowned. “I’m twenty-seven.”
They snickered and the tallest of them replied.
“I just can’t imagine myself getting married soon...maybe in six or seven years time, I would consider it.”
“Me too.” They all agreed.
Was there anything special about getting married late?
If not that my life had suddenly become twisted, coupled with the fact that I’ve always being unlucky with love, I’ve considered getting married before, it looked fun thinking of spending the rest of my life with someone who loves me.
I do hope after all this, I would find that person meant for me.
I engaged with few more awkward conversations with people that Enzo knew.
Dread filled me seeing Mona’s father approaching.
Dante walked away giving us some privacy.
“Hello, sir.”
He grinned. “Please feel at ease. I just want to have a word with you.”
I nodded.
“I know you would notice this about Mona as time goes on but I felt I should tell you this in advance. My daughter is a good person even if she tries to act otherwise. She may seem hardheaded and cold but I hope you would be understanding. Mona has gone through so much. Not what I would wish anyone to experience. As much as I wish to erase all her pain and anger, I can’t. I’m putting all my hopes on you to help her heal. I hope you two would have a blissful marriage.”
I blinked.
Your daughter is a psycho and I’m going to try as much as possible to be away from her.
“For now, please promise me you’ll always be nice to her.”
I felt touched at how much he loves her.
And a little bit jealous.
I wasn’t sure if my mother of twenty-years even loved me at all.
How can you deceive someone you love?
And Allegra, she still feels like a stranger to me.
I didn’t even get to know my father.
My life was so messed up.
I nodded at Mona’s father. “I will.”
Enzo will.
He patted me on the shoulder and walked away.
A hip hop song came up.
I grinned.
I shouldn’t dance.
No one was dancing to it.
Ahh, wasn’t I allowed to have a little bit of fun?
I should be.
I found myself walking to the dance floor and gyrating.
I love dancing as much as I liked fishing.
I expected the people around to join in but they started laughing.
Dante ran up to me and grabbed my arm.
“What the fuck are you doing?”
Why was he acting like I killed someone?
He pulled me away from the marquee.
“Did you see his moves?”
“He must be so happy to be married.”
I heard people say.
“Why would you make a fool out of yourself like that?” He asked as soon as we were out of sight.
“How is dancing making a fool out of myself?”
“Enzo doesn’t dance like that!”
“I’m not Enzo.”
He glared at me. “I told you before that if you’re pretending to be him, if you really want to save that woman from going to jail, you should play your part well enough.” And then, he stormed off.
I leaned against the wall.
Couldn’t I be myself for just a few minutes?
“Thank you for holding out this long.” Allegra said to me as the wedding slowly came to an end. There were just a few guests left. “I know we didn’t plan for you to pretend for this long. And now getting married to her in his stead would make things complicated but I’m praying greatly that he’s found soon.” When will that ‘soon’ be? “I feel bad asking you this but you would have to keep this up, it’s too late to back out now, we would have to hire more men to look for him, so please try not to do anything with her. She’s your brother’s wife. Enzo might overlook the kiss at the altar, but you know it’ll be hard to overlook something more than that.” I cringed. “You don’t have to worry. Nothing’s going to happen between us.” She grinned. A disturbing thought crossed my mind. What if Enzo was dead? I shook my head, brushing that thought away. He needs to be alive to take back his life and he needs to be found soon.

It was unbearable as it is putting up with this life.
The wedding night! I had freshen up and my mind was in turmoil right now. I’ve heard a lot about wedding nights. Sweet stories actually but it would be a horror story if anything happens between Mona and I. *It’ll be nice to finally say goodbyes to those fuck buddies. People won’t say shit if I’m seen with my husband and you seem...like someone who knows how to fuck...” Recalling her words made me pace up and down my bedroom. Maybe I don’t need to be scared. She might not have any plans for me tonight. But I can’t take chances. I have to protect myself at all cost. I hurried up to my door and locked it firmly with the key. I panicked knowing she might find it odd if I do this every night. I shut my eyes briefly. I should take things one at a time. I got into the bed and covered myself with the duvet. Let’s get some sleep, tomorrow was another day to avoid my brother’s wife. A knock sounded on my door startling life out of me. “Enzo? Are you in there?” He’s not in here. Go away! I said nothing. I heard her footsteps faded and I sighed, heavily. But she returned again and banged on the door loudly. “The maids just told me that you retired to your bedroom. Open the door.” I swallowed. Please go away, Mona. “It’s our wedding night for fuck’s sake. I need to get fucked.” I gasped. How can she be so blunt? I saw the doorknob moving. Was she trying to break it off or something? “Shit, I’m fucking horny right now. Why is your door locked?” I covered my face with the pillow. Mona...please wait for a little while. Your husband would be back soon. “Ugh!” She let out and her footsteps faded again. I removed the pillow from my face feeling so relieved. Waiting for Enzo to be found was getting more and more tedious.
. The following morning, I slowly opened my door and looked through the hallway, left and right. I released a deep breath when there wasn’t any sign of Mona. Should I just stay in my bedroom all day? I can’t, I was very hungry right now and we were leaving for our honeymoon today. I walked back into my bedroom as that word sank into my head. Honeymoon. Mona and I? I leaned against the door, I felt like crying. When my stomach grumbled, I had no choice but to go downstairs. When I walked into the dining room, she was already seated. “Good morning.” I murmured. She replied with a cold stare. I slowly sat down adjacent to her and started eating. “Did you forget last night was our wedding night? I’m not all about making it special or anything but we were supposed to fuck.“ I choked on my food. Does she have to say it like that? I reach out for a glass of water and emptied everything on it. I cleared my throat. “I’m sure not all couples do that on their wedding night. They might be tired and...” “I was knocking on your door for more than fifteen minutes! Why didn’t you open up?” “I...I was asleep.” “Asleep? Do you sleep Iike a log of wood to not be woken up by my...” “Mona, I’m sorry but can we let this slide?” “Sure.” She dropped her cutlery and stood up. My eyes dilated at how short her skirt was. “I’ve not had sex for about two weeks and I’m sexually frustrated already. Just take me on this table.” My jaw dropped and I tried not to panic. “I’m very hungry at the moment.”

“Hungry for me.” She grinned and started to reached for the hem of her shirt.
“Stop! Don’t take that off...I’m hungry for food...I need to eat.”
“Eat me.”
No!
No!
Ahh...
I thought I escaped this last night.
I need to think of an excuse, quickly.
“Do...doing it here is inappropriate. The maids might walk in and...”
She licked her bottom lip. “That’s always so hot, you know...I like being fucked and thinking that someone might be watching.”
My throat dried up.
I’m in a very big trouble.
