He stepped away.
    “Ask that again and it’ll be the last fucking thing you ask me.”
    “Time to go,” Chase spoke.
    I sucked in a deep breath, wiped my brow one last time, and entered the cathedral. The famiglia gathered in their seats with laughter booming throughout the church. Weddings in the famiglia made everyone happy. I don’t know if it was legit or faked because after all, I was the boss, but I didn’t give a shit. As long as nothing ruined the day I was good with whatever.
    The Bratva had been quiet lately, but that usually only meant they were gearing up for something big. It was a matter of time before Orlov struck where it hurt most. My crew surrounded the church waiting in case today was the day. What better way to hurt us when we were all in one place? Orlov though, he was a tricky bastard. He liked to play games, get people paranoid and shit.
    My eyes scanned the large area waiting for something to go down. Men stood at every exit and surrounded the church. I knew they’d take care of anything that came up. Chase and Adam stood to my left and my parents’ sat in the front row.
    “I’m really happy for you, Jax, Isabella is a keeper.” Chase was the nicest of my brothers, and the one I’d trust around Bella.
    Adam smirked while he checked out his phone. He was the most selfish and dangerous. I didn’t trust him with Bella. I didn’t trust him with anything. But those thoughts and worry disappeared the moment the wedding march started to play and the cathedral doors opened.
    A beautiful woman faced the crowd. Clad in white silk that I had handmade and sent from Italy. I wanted everything to be perfect for her on this day. And the wedding gift that I had for her would top everything else. She would love it, I had no doubt about that. Her hair hung in beautiful chestnut brown waves around her shoulder. The dress had fit her curves like an hourglass. Her eyes focused on mine, and my vision narrowed on her seeing no one else. Thoughts of everything I’d worried about since the day I’d met Isabella washed away instantly. I drew in a deep breath blowing out every worry. I wanted to love her, I did love her. And she would be mine forever.
    I tucked Bella’s tiny hand into mine. I’d been searching for the truth before Bella, and there was a reason I found her. She saved me from myself that night. I’d planned on killing Casconi without permission from Anthony Sagatori, and the spark that ignited in the dark called me to another place. I’m grateful now that I hadn’t broke my vow because she’s here with me. Her bright eyes, soft hands, beautiful heart are my universe. She’s my beautiful.
    When the priest signaled me to start with my vows, my mouth went dry. I’d wanted to say things to Bella for a while, but today all of that would come out.
    “Isabella, we were brought together by chance on the most of unexpected nights, but you…” I cleared my throat, “…you took my life in a direction I never thought possible. Until I met you I had only ever loved one woman. I will honor you for all the days of your life. Anything you want or need is yours.”
    A tear fell from her beautiful eye as she spoke. “You’re the first one I think of when my eyes open, you’re the reason I’m here and I can’t…” she smiled, “…I don’t want to live without you. I found myself loving you without knowing if you would ever feel the same about me. I chanced a love with you. A love with someone that dominated me in a way no one ever had before. I thought I could walk away until this day. I know now, without any doubt in my heart, that I’ll never leave you. You’re everything that I want. I give myself to you, Jax Moretti.”
    “I don’t deserve you, Bella. I’ll love you until the day I die.” I pulled her into my arms and kissed Bella fearlessly.
    “You love me?” she whispered into my ear.
    I pulled her to face me as our guests waited patiently. “I’ve loved you since the first
