Chapter 39

Clara was feeling proud from it all. She looked over at Elena, seeing the huge smile on her face. When things died down, Elena tapped on Clara's arm. Elena brought her bag closer to show Clara that food was in her purse, specially candy. Both of them ate a few pieces of candy while the others talked.

Soon after that all of the women left the restaurant to go home and prepare dinner. It was a working train. All of them work together in the kitchen because there are many mouths to feed. Clara was making the appetizers, while the others did many more. When Clara was done making one appetizer she would take it to the front and go back to the kitchen and repeat it over again.

Eventually all of the food was in the front. Clara felt like she lost 3 pounds from cooking in the kitchen. All of the men started to sit down at the table and then the women came and sat down with their husbands and or fiance.

Every piece of food was delicious. Julian led close to Clara's ear. He said ;

" I heard what you said to Gianna. I could not be more proud of you."

The night finished on a high note and all returned to their homes. Julian and Clara went home, Julian wanted some alone time with Clara.

He wants to get much time with her before his family bugs him.

Especially that Elena's wedding is in a few days.

The days are counting down for Elena's wedding. The final touches are being made for Elena's big day. So on a warm day Elena and Clara will be spending time together.

Planning on going shopping, trying many foods. Just being together, Elena showed Clara around Italy and what italy has to offer. Clara has been overjoyed in everything she has seen in Italy. She felt like she was in a dream, but she knows who Julian is because he told her the truth.

Elena and Clara spend the whole day together before returning to their homes. Clara greeted Julian when she came home, and he was all for it. They both had dinner before heading to bed. Elena went to her parents house because her wedding was so close. If it was up to her Elena would have had a small wedding, months ago.

..................................................................

The day is the day Elena Salvatore is getting married. Elena was being helped by her mother and sisters and of course Clara. While her nieces were in the background taking selfies of themselves.

The bridesmaids came out in their dresses.

Elena's bridesmaids were 2 of her sisters, 3 of her older nieces and lastly Elena's maid of honor was Clara. Clara felt completely honored that Elena chose her as the maid of honor. Since everyone else is dressed it was time for Elena to get dressed. When she finished all of the women "aww" towards Elena.

Everyone took their positions for the wedding, Elena stood waiting for her father to walk her down the aisle. When Elijah saw his last daughter in those weddings, it brought some tears to his eyes but he did not cry. Emma kissed her husband before taking her seat. Elena's bridesmaids walked out leading down the aisle waiting for Elena to come out.

Luca was standing waiting for his soon to be wife. He was full of nerves, but extremely ecstatic at the same time. His mouth dropped slightly, seeing Elena in her dress.

To him she looks breathtaking everyday but now in this moment was different, his heart started to beat faster when he looked at her.

Elena came down the aisle, her father put her hand in Luca's so the ceremony could start. Between Elena and Luca vows were so beautifully written, it brought a few tears. Elena put the ring on Luca and Elena did the same. The new wedded couple kissed, making the crowd of people cheer.

Elena and Luca came back from their honeymoon and purchased a house here in Italy.

Now it was time for another wedding for the Salvatore family. It was Clara's big day. Clara felt like this was not happening. Clara stayed at Julian's parents' home and Elena stayed some nights with Clara.

The venue for the wedding was going to be at Gabriel's house. It would make sense because Julian is the second born, he is the second son to the devil, making him a prince in a way. Julian is really important to the Salvatore mafia, in short Julian wanted the wedding to be at Gabriel's. He wanted his parents to have their house back and less stress.

Livia, Gabriel's wife, was more than happy to plan the wedding, along with the other family members.

Elena pulled up to her parents home to see Clara. Walking inside, Elena found Clara in the room. They both talked for a brief moment, then Elena helped Clara get ready for her day.

First Elena did Clara's make-up then she did her hair.

Elena grabbed Clara's dress for her to change into. Everyone was ready. All the family and friends were going to Gabriel's house for the wedding.

All were seated in their assigned areas. While they all waited for the bride to be. Julian was standing at the altar waiting to see his bride. But he was racked with nerves. The music started and all stood up for Clara.

Clara took a breath, looking over to her right. Wrapping her arm around Elijah, "the devil" himself was walking Clara down the aisle since Clara's parents were not around anymore.

Unfortunately Clara's parents died from a car crash. Elijah was more than pleased that Clara asked him if he could walk her down the aisle.

Clara walking with Elijah, Julian saw Clara in her dress. It took his breath away, a smile grew on his face seeing Clara's dress.

Julian started his vow's to Clara.

' Clara, my love, when I first met you I had to have you. I have never seen a beautiful face and yet a beautiful personality in a person. You have accepted me for who I really am and have not judged me. You remained honest, caring, and true. I will be there for you always and be anything you want me to be. I love you my amore."

The crowd has smiles and laughter in between everyone in the seats. Clara said her vows and the priest granted them to " kiss the bride". After Clara said her vows Julian lightly grabbed the ring she chose for her.

Julian did not waste a minute longer to kiss her. Elijah and Gabriel laughed at Julian's eagerness. The wedding moved inside for the food.

Everyone ate in joy, and others danced, seeing Julian holding Clara while they slowly danced.

After 2 hours Julian and Clara went to their car to head to their honeymoon. Where Julian had things planned for Clara that will blow her mind.

After the wedding of Julian and Clara, Elena stopped being Julian's assistant because her and Luca opened up a security business that was still new but it was thriving.
