365 Days As The Mafia's Bride Chapter 1 The Wedding

KAITLYN

Even the air can't hold in my happiness. Everyone knows how joyous I am as I stand before the altar with the man that I will ever love, Jesse Rider.

We have been friends for years and everyone knows that we will get married. Our family has approved of it ever since we became teenagers, today, that time has come, the time to tie the knot forever.

"Do you, Kaitlyn Peterson, accept Jesse Rider to be your rightfully wedded husband?" The words have not even left the priest's mouth before I mutter yes.

"Do you, Jesse Rider, accept Kaitlyn Peterson to be your rightfully wedded wife?" The priest asks.

I look into his eyes, waiting patiently for him to mutter yes. The smile on his face is gone, and the emotions in his eyes are unreadable as he stares blankly at him.

"Do you, Jesse Rider, accept Kaitlyn Peterson to be your rightfully wedded wife?" The priest repeats.

Tension fills the hall, replacing the excitement that drifts around.

"Jesse–"

"Yes...I accept."

From the way he speaks, I notice that the words seem heavy to voice out. It feels like he is being forced to say the words he said over the phone yesterday.

What is wrong? Is he developing cold feet towards our relationship? Did I do something wrong?

My heart skips a beat when he flashes a reassuring smile at me.

I sigh, and relief washes across my tightened heart.

The priest smiles and looks up, piercing the congregation with his sharp chestnut eyes.

"Is there anyone who stands against this marriage, speak or forever remain silent," the priest mutters and I smile, knowing fully well that no one will stand against my marriage, aside...

I glance at my stepmother and glare intently at her, watching the smirk on her face with a constricted heart.

Is she planning to make a mockery of me again? She won't dare!

"Since no one..."

"I stand against this marriage!"

My eyes widen and my jaws drop.

My legs are wobbling, and I feel like I am losing my breath with each moment that passes by and with each time the words repeat in my mind.

Jesse's hand, which is wrapped around mine, has gone cold, and his eyes are bulging out in shock.

I snap my gaze away from my stepmother to the door which has been pulled open.

Sharp rays of light hit my face and I groan, slamming my eyes shut.

Pain is throbbing in my heart, and tears are beginning to roll down my eyes, forcing me to break into a whimper.

Who is that? That sounds like a man's voice. Who will dare stand against my marriage?

All heads turn as footsteps begin to echo in the large hall. It is steady and slow, bearing the graceful steps of a being with a aura powerful. An aura that everyone can feel, an aura that even makes Jesse's hands which are wrapped around mine, shake violently.

My eyes slowly pull open and I stare confusedly at the tall, huge figure advancing gracefully towards us.

I am sure that I can hear Jesse gasp. His hands slide away from mine and his jaws drop open.

I turn back to the man and stare intently at him, trying to figure out if I can recognize him.

The sun's rays are shielding his face, making him look glorious or, perhaps, angelic. But his aura speaks nothing concerning being angelic.

I am upset, confused, and filled with rage. I feel like shredding the nonchalant, uninvited guest to pieces.

"Who are you?" I snap out in aggression, feeling impatient.

The footsteps freeze and his head tilts to the side.

He steps forward, revealing the smirk on his face.

I run my eyes around his body, observing every inch of him.

Sharp jawline, prominent cheekbones, piercing grey eyes that seemed to draw in everyone, broad shoulders, toned body, and athletic build that exudes confidence and strength.

His sleek, three-piece suit, swung over a crisp white shirt that has no buttons at the top, reveals his well-define, chiseled pectoral, making him look irresistible.

My heart skip a bit as I shamelessly drool over the man's beauty.

My God, he is as handsome as a devil. That is if he is not a devil.

"Don't scream too much, mi amor, you will lose your voice," the way he speaks makes my jaws drop and causes a gasp to arise from the congregation.

"Mi... mi amor?" I stammer, praying that this does not cause a misunderstanding.

I swerve my head towards the priest and stare at the confusion and disgust on his face.

I glance at Jesse and the emotion in his eyes makes my heart shrink.

"Who are you?" I snap and glare at the man.

He lets out a dark chuckle, covers the distance between us in a fast stride, and grabs my chin.

"You should be getting married to me, not him," he whispers loudly, and chaos slowly drops among the guests.

I gasp and slap his hand away, taking a step back.

"Don't touch me, you psycho! Who the fuck are you?" I scream, and the priest clears his throat at the unacceptable word that dropped from my lips.

"Who am I?" His brows raised in surprise and he grinned, revealing those perfect set of white teeth.

Goodness, what am I doing?

He turns his head and drops his eyes on my smirking stepmother.

"Didn't you tell her about me, Mrs Peterson?" He asks, and my heart clenches.

I spring up to my feet and turn in her direction and so does Jesse.

"What is he talking about, Lorain?" I yell, marching towards her with a clenched fist.

She doesn't seem perturbed with the revelation. Instead she she leans back into the seat and smiles widely, enjoying the peril I am in.

I knew it. I knew she would never let me be happy.

She has hated me right from the day my father brought her home as his wife. She had always wanted to take away everything my father left for me, every single thing.

"Well... he is the only one who can save your father's empire," she muttered in a low tone, that evil smirk still dangling around her lips.

My eyes dim at her absurd words and I huff.

"Is that your excuse for trying to ruin my marriage?" I ask, and she chuckles. My heart shrinks at her behavior, and I try to stop myself from blowing up before everyone.

"You should be thanking me, you ungrateful wasp!" She spits out, and my heart shrinks.

"You witch!" I growl and advance towards her, my fist clenched into a ball.

Filled with rage and the feeling of betrayal, I extend my fist to hit her, but to my surprise, she slips out of the way and grabs my extended hand.

Pain shoots through my body and I scream out, crinkling my face in agony and shame.

She winds to the back and twists my hands around, leaning down towards my bent posture.

"Didn't your dear father tell you about the bankruptcy that the company was facing before his demise? Seems like, he didn't care so much about you," she sneers, her voice dripping with raw venom and mockery.

My heart stopped beating the moment she said those words, and my jaws dropped.

I stop struggling and stare dismayingly at the marble white floors of the large church, which has turned into a chaos-filled building.

"What did you say?" I stammer, my heart clenching.

She chuckles and leans closer, hitting my ear with her hot, deceitful breath.

"Do you want to shame your father's grave by shouting it out loud in front of his friends and foes? That man cleared your father's debts secretly in return to have you as a bride," she whispers and I whimper softly in regret.

I feel ashamed and betrayed. I trusted my father so much.

Why did he do this to me? How could he keep such a thing from me?

Now, I am stuck in a mess that I never created. Trouble that I will never be able to get out of.

Even if he manages to leave, will Jesse still love me? I can't tell the whole world why this man is here. If I do, my father's legacy will become nothing but a laughingstock to everyone.

"Now, go quietly to that altar and tie the knot with that man with no hesitation," Loraine snaps and lets go of me.

I stagger and drop to the ground, gasping for breath.

"Get lost, Jesse, and pull out that ring too!" The man's authoritative voice floods across the hall.

"You bastard, how dare you–" Jesse's words are cut short as the man wraps his hand around his chin, piercing him with his striking dark eyes.

A vicious grin spread across his face and he clenches tight onto Jesse's grip, forcing a wince out of his trembling lips.

"You took my inheritance away, but I will take your bride away," he mutters and Jesse's face goes pale.

"Inheritance?" My voice breaks through the tense air and he looks up at me.

A smile creeps into his face, and he shoves Jesse away, then walks gracefully towards me.

He squatts down before me and sweeps me into his large arms, causing me to inhale the strong cologne on his body.

He gets to the alter and drops me down to my wobbly feet then snaps a glare at the priest.

"Get us married!" He snaps.

The priest staggers back and gulps hard, parting his lips to start the wedding processions all over again.

Tears gather up in my eyes as the priest begins another recitation of a verse.

The hall quiets down like nothing happened some minutes ago.

"Do you..." the priest pauses and stares questioningly at him.

He smiles devilishly and grips my hand tightly, victory dancing in his dark orbs.

"Nikolai. Nikolai Rider."

I stood in the darkest corner of the Pierre Hotel’s ballroom, my cheap polyester dress itching against my skin while my wristband buzzed with a DARPA Priority Red alert. In front of the city’s elite, my fiancé Bryce Calloway took the stage, not to toast our future, but to publicly end our engagement and announce he was with my sister, Chloe. The room turned on me instantly, a hundred pairs of eyes pinning me down with pity and disgust as they physically backed away like I was contagious. When I returned home, my mother shattered a crystal vase at my feet, screaming that I was a humiliation and a "dropout" who didn't deserve a cent of the family fortune. Chloe and Bryce mocked me, laughing when I told them I had a mission with the National Security Agency, convinced I was either a pathological liar or a low-level criminal. They watched in horror as a black, unmarked military helicopter descended on our backyard to extract me, yet they still chose to believe I was being arrested for drug trafficking. They saw a pathetic girl who couldn't even parallel park, never realizing I was Dr. Nova Vance, the lead physicist behind the world's first successful fusion reactor. To secure funding for my research and gain a "fortress" of a name, I signed a thirty-day marriage contract with the arrogant billionaire Roman Knight. He treats me like a fraud, convinced I’m a gold-digger who failed out of college, while I quietly run global energy simulations from his guest bedroom. He has no idea that the "loser" he’s forced to live with is the same anonymous grandmaster who has been ruthlessly crushing him in online strategy games for months. "The contract is active," I told him, looking past his expensive suit. "But don't expect me to be your maid."

For seven years, I drank the bitter tonic my fiancé, Alpha Adrian, gave me, believing it would cure my "wolfless" defect. I was wrong. It was poison. He wasn't trying to heal me; he was keeping me weak so he could replace me with my foster sister, Ariel. When the fire consumed the Alpha's Wing, I was trapped under a burning beam, my legs crushed. Adrian kicked down the door. I reached out to him, screaming for help. But he didn't look at me. He looked at Ariel, who was lying on the floor in a silk nightgown. He scooped her up, cradling her like she was the only thing that mattered. I begged him not to leave me. Instead of helping, he used his Alpha Command on me, his voice booming with supernatural weight. "Stay put! I'll be back for you!" It was a lie. He used his power to freeze me in the inferno and left me to burn alive. I survived, only to watch him publicly reject me for her the next day, with my own father's blessing. They called me a "genetic dead end." They thought I would crawl away and die in shame. I didn't. I limped up the mountain to the Neutral Lands to find the one man everyone fears-the exiled Alpha, Garth Morgan. "I have the Gamma Bloodline Scroll," I told the massive figure emerging from the shadows. "I don't want your gratitude," Garth growled, his eyes like storm clouds. "I'm not here for gratitude," I replied, staring him down. "I'm here to make a deal with the devil."

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

My five-year-old daughter was turning blue in my arms, her body rigid with a 104-degree fever. I called my billionaire husband, Clifton, dozens of times as I rushed to the hospital, but he declined every single call. While I was screaming at doctors and fighting to save our child’s life, a news alert flashed on my phone. Clifton was at the Met Gala, looking devastatingly handsome as he intimately draped his tuxedo jacket over the shoulders of his mistress, Eleanora. The nightmare didn't end at the hospital. Clifton used a secret clause in our prenup to snatch Lily from her bed and move her to a private facility without my consent. When I finally found her, my own daughter shrank away from me in terror. "Go away, bad Mommy!" she sobbed, while the mistress fed her oatmeal and whispered that I was the one who made the doctors hurt her. Clifton stood by and watched, telling me I was too "hysterical" to be a mother. But then I discovered the real reason they were hiding her. My husband was illegally using my late mother’s rare bone marrow samples to treat Eleanora’s secret blood disorder. Now that those samples are failing, he is taking Lily to a secluded castle in Germany to harvest our daughter’s marrow for his mistress. I sat in the dark, watching them play happy family with the child they plan to sacrifice. I realized then that my marriage wasn't just a lie—it was a biological harvest. They think I’m just a broken trophy wife who doesn't understand the science they are using to destroy me. They have no idea that I am "Ghost," the anonymous medical genius behind the very research they are trying to steal. As we board the private jet to Germany, I’ve stopped crying and started calculating. If they want to play with life and death, I’ll show them exactly what happens when a mother stops being a victim and starts being a predator.
