Hundred and sixty eight

Hundred and sixty eight
Angelina's POV

I stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection.
It was the most beautiful version of myself.
I was dressed in a white wedding dress that cost eight figures.
The day I have been waiting for has finally arrived and I couldn't believe it was happening.
I was going to marry him, Arnold Wolfe.
The Boss of the La Cosa Nostra and the king of New York City.
The door to the room pushed opened and Katherine walked in.
She was dressed in a golden gown. Ground level and she was holding a bouquet of flowers." You look different." She said." The good different." She added and I smiled." You look beautiful " I told her and she handed me the bouquet." It's your day and I want you to enjoy it." She said sincerely and I hugged her." I'm enjoying it." I whispered. I was more than excited.
I was getting married to the only man I loved.
" Antonio is waiting for you." She pulled away and I nodded with a smile." I will be going with Riccardo. See you at tbr church." She said before leaving the room. I looked at myself one more time in the mirror before grabbing my dress and headed out.
Antonio was indeed waiting for me beside his car, decorated with white balloons.
He opened the door for me. Behind us were three other cars that I was sure were Arnold's men.
I started feeling anxious as the car pulled over in front of the church." Are you okay?" Antonio noticed my nervous expression.
" I'm fine, can we go in now?" I said, exhaling deeply.
The entrance of the church was decorated with white roses.
Arnold's men were standing guard at the door.
" Everyone is waiting." Antonio said and I gathered my dress in my hand.
A black Lamborghini halted right behind Antonio's car and Arnold's father, Davide dropped out with a smile." I will walk you inside." He offered me his arm and I grabbed it.
" You look beautiful." He said and I smiled." Thank you." I said.
" For coming." It was a pleasure to see him again.
" Sorry about what Elizabeth did you you."
" It's in the past." I assured and he hemmed.
" Arnold is very lucky to have you by his side." He added as we stepped into the church.
Everywhere was silent. The white decoration on the wall made the room feel warm and smooth. The beautiful smell of roses lingered in the air.
Arnold stood at the alter in his usual black suit and pant.
Behind him was Marco and Nikolai. They were both in black as well.
I shifted my gaze from Nikolai's smug expression to Arnold's cold and gently gaze.
My heart stopped in my chest as I looked him straight in the eyes. My palm began to sweat as if we weren't already married.
Was this how every bride feels?
The feeling was foreign yet very exceptional. It reminded me of the first time he looked me in the eyes and kissed my lips.
The heart tremble and the nervousness.
" It's okay to be nervous." Davide said but I didn't think so because Arnold didn't seem to be trembling like I was.
He was standing like the church wasn't crowded with people. Perhaps it was because the majority of tbr crowd were his men.
The entire church stared in silent as Davide gently handed me to Arnold." Don't lose her." He said to him before stepping back to take his seat.
" You look fucking beautiful." He leaned towards my ears and whispered. His hot breath tickled my skin and his eyes staring deep into my my soul.
" In the name of the father. The son and the holy spirit." The priest began his prayers and everyone in the church responded " Amen!" included Arnold, Marco and Nikolai.
" We are gathered here today to witness the union of our brother and son Arnold Wolfe and his beloved Angelina Davis." He said, Arnold didn't break eyes contact with me.
He was always handsome and todayhe want anything less.
" Arnold Wolfe, do you take Angelina Davis as your lawfully wedded wife...In sickness and in health till death do you apart?"
" I do." Arnold replied almost immediately.
" Angelina Davis, do you take Arnold Wolfe as your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health till death do you a part?" He asked me.
" I do." Exhaling heavily.
Arnold chuckled slightly.
" Whoever has anything against this union should say it now or forever hold their peace." The priest asked and the church went silent.
" You may exchange your wedding vows and while you do so, seal it with your wedding rings."
Marco stepped forward with the ring.
Arnold picked the one he has chosen for me." I promise to remain faithful to only you even in death." He slides the ring on my finger.
" I will love you Arnold Wolfe till my last breath." I slide his ring onto his finger.
" With the power vested in me by the almighty. I pronounce you husband and wife." The priest declared and a loud applauds resounded in the air.
" You may kiss the bride."
Arnold's grabbed my wrist and yanked me to himself before crushing his lips on mine.
He kissed me gently and hungrily.
He pulled away and leaned his forehead against mine." You are beautiful, Angelina." He said and suddenly a loud gunshot ecohed in the church.
Fuck!
Arnold pulled me behind him instinctively and nodded to both Nikolai and Marco who left with guns each.
Multiple gunshot echoed from outside and the guest began running for their lives.
Of all days, why did it have to be today?
It was my wedding for goodness sake.
" Stay here, I will be right back." He pulled out his gun and kissed me on the forehead." I will be right bavk." He ptomised.
In just a few steps away from me a familiar figure walked right into the church.
It was Kelly.
Kelly Grayson.
She was holding a gun and her hard gaze was fixed on me.
Hatred was all I could see in her eyes. She hated me." Go to hell, Angelina." She pointed her gun on me." You took what was suppose to be mine." She said, her expression rock hard.
" Put the gun down, Kelly Grayson." Marco appeared behind her.
" Too late." She pulled the trigger and in a flash Arnold was standing in front of me.
I waited to feel the pain but it didn't come.
I didn't feel anything.
Suddenly the truth drown me and my eyes widened.
Fear tightened my chest as my eyes fixed on his broad stiffened back.
Arnold?
" Arnold!" I yelled as I ran to hold him.
He raised his fun and shot Kelly in the head before turned to face me.
His black shirt was stained with blood.
