Chapter 399 - We're Finally Married - mdfour
Veronica
That was the perfect solution. The next day at the table, Liam laid out the cases for going to jail and made his brothers swear they would never miss it, ensuring their mom would never be treated that way. I almost smothered my son with kisses, his precious ten-year-old face back then. He hasn't forgotten since.
"It's time for lunch."
"Mom, we'll work on the fences for two hours from Monday to Friday, then our chores, and finally our homework." I looked at Enrique and nodded.
"Mom, I didn't say anything to Liam, but he insists on helping us."
"Last night, I told you about being a good leader. What you do and have done with your brothers is what I want you to do with the rest of the people who follow you, son. I can't stop Liam from helping you when you two have been a support for him. This is his way of repaying the support you gave him years ago." Enrique kissed me on the forehead, and Dante's eyes welled up.
"We were all punished," Enrique continued as lunch was served. "Demetrio and Dayana won't have any communication until December."
"The same happened to Milena," Victoria commented. "In fact, to everyone who was involved in the illegal races." My daughter kissed her two older brothers. "Thanks for not telling me anything, because I would have been punished too. Just for that, I'll help you paint, but I'll handle the house area, and you guys go to the pastures."

Everything was going great. I ate my plate of spaghetti prepared by my Beautiful while I watched the eight screens. Lately, our operations were in and out, rescue and delivery without problems, just a few sleepyheads. We hadn't fired a real shot in months and weren't in a real fight.
We kept closing the circle. After taking away their human trafficking plan, we sent an ultimatum to those next in line, telling them:
You are under the King's watch
At least I hope to leave a legacy with my death. I've been thinking a lot about my kids since yesterday. Enrique goes along with his brother, but this isn't his thing. He's into business, knows how to fight, handle weapons, and if he has to defend, he does it fiercely, but this isn't his calling.
Dante, on the other hand, yes. I just need to train him, focus him, bring out his potential. He likes playing chess, has beaten everyone except me, and gets frustrated. That's why he's in the annual chess tournament; he won last year but lost when he challenged me.
They see me as a challenge, and I know he'll succeed once he stops being so arrogant and thinking he can do everything alone. To be the king, you need to work with your rooks, bishops, knights, and pawns to make way for the queen and protect the king together. That's what my son needs. A bit of time might help him mature that brilliant mind.
"Boss dismantled."
Arnold's voice came through my earpiece. He was with Churrusco. They rescued thirty young people, more than ten girls, and now they are getting psychological help. We find their parents and return them, others stay with us in the orphanages in Colombia, with their consent. Some stay with their families. Meanwhile, Any is taking care of imprisoning the bastards who played with the dreams of these kids.
"Understood. Deliver and return."
They spread out across Brazil. One by one, they notified delivery with no issues. Those who finished left, leaving behind sleeping and handcuffed enemies. They took their flights back to São Paulo, to the hotel where they were staying. A clean operation. Any, Cooper, and Moore would stay a couple more weeks. Although Cooper would arrive in two weeks for his sister-in-law's wedding.
"Delivered," said Rata. "It's very quiet, Boss."
"Smells like death." Gustavo's comment put us on alert. "But I can't detect where from."
"And the Shaman speaks!" Arnold's comment made us burst into laughter.
"Good thing you're miles away from me, or I'd shoot you."
"My dear little witch, you'll cry for me later. Besides, how are you going to leave two beautiful children without a father? By the way, they are your nephews, and a precious Mermaid without this sweet caramel, as old Josefina said."
This jerk was the worst. Simón, Lobo, Rino, and Zombie couldn't stop laughing, the rest of us managed to control ourselves a bit.
"Keep messing around and I'll see you following Dante's steps when you get home," I frowned.
"What did I miss?"
"Jerk, yesterday he said Dante wasn't good enough for Dayana," Gustavo commented, wow.
"Snitch! But it's the truth, Boss. He's my beloved nephew, brother of my godson, but no one will ever be good enough for my little girl."
"Stop messing around and come back soon, we need to organize a bachelor party." Everyone laughed. "Arnold."
"Yes, sir."
"I forgive you for saying my son isn't good enough, only because I think the same about my princess. No one is good enough for Victoria."

Tomorrow is my wedding and I see my beautiful dress hanging in one of the rooms at my brother Gustavo's house. Even though we haven't slept together again and I have Alfredo going crazy, I'm just as eager. I can't wait for our honeymoon, making love like rabbits and trying for Amín's little sibling. —whoever sees him now; once a week he leaves me a little gift, the bracelet he gave me for Christmas says, "I lost my horizon, I lost you C.G." The initials are his nickname for me. My phone rang, it was my future husband.
"Hi, Big Butt."
"I see you're alone, wasn't your bachelor party tonight?" He burst out laughing.
"They're all in the living room, I just called to say I love you."
"I love you too." My heart was pounding.
"Tomorrow you'll be mine again, and I won't rest until we catch up. We need to bring back a souvenir from the Coffee Axis or Coveñas."
"Perfect."
"We've slept together again without intimacy and... Love, is it normal for me to feel so nervous and anxious? We already have a child, but I feel like tomorrow will be different being with you."
"Look, you lovesick fool, come get your beer!" I smiled at my brother's voice.
"Don't drink too much."
"You know we're not big drinkers. Well, don't count my wasted year. See you tomorrow at ten in the morning, future Mrs. Masa." My eyes filled with tears.
"See you tomorrow."
"And Amín?" I looked at the bed.
"Asleep. He'll look adorable in his little tuxedo with our rings tomorrow."
"I hope he doesn't lose them."
"Go on with your barbecue. I love you."
"I love you more."
My nerves were on edge. The wedding was at my brother's ranch, the priest would marry us at a beautiful altar. My mother-in-law, in-laws, everything was flowing as it should. And here I am now, waiting for Gustavo to come get me. Getting married is always scary.
"You look beautiful, little sis." My little brother also looked very handsome in his formal suit.
"Don't start or you'll make me cry."
"You are and always will be my little girl. I'm proud to see you grow as a person." My brother approached. "Thank you for never judging me when I was a human wreck. Now I'm giving you to one of my brothers, a stubborn one, but he adores you. Come on, he threatened to rip my head off if I took more than five minutes."
Walking down the aisle while the wedding march was played by Liam on the piano, and seeing my little one walking with the rings on each finger and his hands raised. I have no idea where he left the pillow the rings should be on.
Seeing my family, my friends, my husband dressed in a tuxedo at the altar, was what I had always dreamed of for so long. I know the ceremony started, continued, I just answered the questions and it was over. I was finally the wife of Dr. Alfredo Masa. He wiped my tears when he cradled my face to kiss me.
"My wife."
He joined our lips. He lifted me off the ground and I clung to his neck like a tick. The crowd erupted in joy, my mother-in-law brought my son to congratulate us, my mother smiled seeing me now truly happy! Alfredo never let go of me, holding me with one hand and carrying Amín with the other.
