Chapter 3 THREE

THREE

“I won't survive him,Nina” Isabelle whispered. “Please you have to take my place,” she urged.

Don Francesco had mounted armed guards behind the door and all through the hallways.It was impossible to escape.

“Isa,please.You know nothing escapes your uncle’s notice.He will kill me if he finds out,” Nina responded in a whisper.They couldn't let the guards hear what they had planned to do.Regardless, as usual her good heart and closeness with Isabelle couldn't let her refuse her constant pleading.

Isabelle handed the wedding dress to her and she took Nina’s clothes.

The plan was terrifying, but the idea of living with Don Domenico was even more scarier.

Nina wore the wedding dress with the veil making it difficult to recognize who was behind it.They noticed the dress was quite loose because Isa was extremely thick.Her standing sizeable breasts and well endowed ass always made her the center of attention.

Isabelle picked a pin from one of the drawers,she was going to practice her tailoring skills.

“Nina! Why are you taking so long with her in there? Hurry up! The Don needs her,” one of guards who stood outside the door yelled out.

“Be patient please.There's a problem with her dress,” she screamed back while trying not to sound shaky due to fear.

“The Don will not like this.Don't make me come in there”

“I said you should FUCKING wait! We are coming!”

They were almost ready.

They just needed little time.

They heard voices approaching and Isabelle quickly hid behind one of the curtains.

Their plan was complete.

The door opened, and Francesco walked in.His eyes trailed from the woman in the wedding dress to the rest of the room.

He walked towards her,

“You look astonishing as always my Isabelle,” he remarked,his eyes lazily moving to access her body. “Domenico is quite lucky to deserve you,do you know why?”

She shook her head.

“That's because you have the ability to turn any man on, just by mere looking at you.You're fierce,innocent,smart …”

And in a split second,he thrust a knife into her stomach. “But not too smart to outsmart me.”

Nina screamed and fell to the floor.

“Isabelle come out now! Don't make me get you,” he said,his eyes on the exact spot where she hid.

Isabelle rushed out and ran towards Nina.

She had gotten the only person she could trust killed.

“Nina—aaaaa!” she cried out,her screams echoing loud throughout the room.

“Did you think I was going to leave you unguarded? My men might be stupid enough not to notice but not my cameras,” he revealed.

The guards ran in and carried her off Isabelle.

Giulia arrived.

She was always everywhere.

“Make sure she gets dressed and is out in few minutes.If anything goes wrong…”

“Don't worry.She'll be ready now,” Giulia interrupted.She was smarter than Nina to know that Francesco was not someone to betray.

“A new wedding dress for the bride,” another maid who had walked in announced.

As soon as Francesco left,Giulia dragged her off the floor and threw the wedding dress towards her.

“I didn't think you’ld be so foolish.Get dressed! The guests have arrived”

She stood firmly as Isabelle wore the dress and her heels.She didn't want to end up like Nina.

She summoned the makeup artist and in a matter of minutes,Isabelle was ready.

Giulia handed her the bouquet of flower before leading her out of the room.

“Finally.I was thinking someone might have to die again,” Francesco muttered,he had been waiting outside the door for them.

He stretched out his hand and Isabelle encircled hers into his.

They walked towards the church.The guests had arrived.The slow music had started playing.

Her to-be husband stood at the altar,his face beaming with smiles.Tears slid down her cheeks, she had tried everything she could to escape today but she didn't succeed.She only ended up being the cause of another’s death.

Her hands trembled as she gripped the bouquet,each step down the aisle dragging her closer to doom.

The priest began the session.She barely heard him,not when her heart pounded furiously against her chest,drowning everything else.Her lips parted to say her marriage vows and then—

A LOUD BANG!!!

A single gunshot erupted through the air causing a disarray in the church.
