The Mafia’s Possession

”You killed my dad and brother! You are their murderer, asshole!” Melanie screamed.

Flynn widened his eyes in shock.

How the hell did Melanie know about it?

”Melanie… How… How did you…”

”How did I know that?” Melanie interrupted him and he nodded his head.

”Wait, is that necessary?” Melanie creased her brow.

”Mel, it’s not what you think, I can explain,” Flynn said walking towards her.

”What did you want to explain again? What exactly do you want to explain. I didn’t know you’re this horrible and I regret that I stole from a person like you. You see, don’t you ever show your face in front of me. You disgust me to the core!” Melanie screamed and ran out of the room.

Flynn muttered incoherently and ran his hand through his hair.

How could she know about that?

He didn’t mean for her to know this way?

He wanted to confess his feelings for her before he told her.

Gosh, this is so crazy.

Flynn entered the bathroom, stood under the shower, and let the waterfall on him with his clothes still on him.

Why the hell did he have to fall for a lady he’d killed her people.

Fate is really cruel. It is a bitch.

Melanie lay in the bed and covered herself with a duvet.

Tomorrow was going to be her wedding, the day every lady dreamed of.

She needs to be in a good shape because it’s her wedding even though she did not approve of it. It’s not like she had a choice, right?

Melanie inhaled deeply and pulled the duvet over her head and closed her eyes.

Trying to relieve her broken heart, she decided to let go of everything that was bothering her to pretend like she can’t wait for the next day to come.

She was only going to marry once, so she needs to be in a good shape, right?

=========

Melanie sat in front of the big mirror and stared at her reflection. Now, she is wearing the wedding dress that Cece has designed. It hugged her body perfectly. This dress made her look very gorgeous, classy, and sexy at the same time.

”You’re very beautiful, Mel,” Melinda who walked into the dressing room commented.

”Thank you, mummy,” Melanie smiled widely, she knew she was looking very good today.

”The ceremony will commence in fifteen minutes,” Melinda said and Melanie sighed deeply.

She was very nervous.

Melinda smiled and peck her gently on the cheek to avoid ruining her daughter’s makeup.

The makeup that Melanie wore looked very natural but also made her look more charming than before.

Tyler made sure he did a perfect job on his best friend’s face.

”There are a lot of guests downstairs and I hope you’re ready,” Melinda grinned.

”A lot? Like how many?” Melanie frowned and Melinda laughed.

”Sooo many,” Melinda said and Melanie pouted, frowning at her mother who was making fun of her.

”Almost filled the hall. I invited a few friends and your groom invited almost all of Los Angeles to the wedding,” Melinda watched the frown settling on her daughter’s face.

”You don’t want to ruin your makeup,” Melinda said touching the middle of her forehead.

”Don’t worry, Flynn will keep you from fainting,” Melinda assured and Melanie nodded her head.

Melanie watched her mother who looked so elegant in her dress walked out of the living room and smile.

”Bestie,” Tyler walked towards her and smiled.

”I’m so happy for you, like so much,” Tyler grinned.

”Yeah, I know. Don’t worry, I’ll help you when it’s your wedding with Elle,” Melanie chucked as she watched Tyler blush.

In a few minutes, she would officially become Mrs. Harlan.

Thinking about that, she felt her heart exploding with nervousness. The anxiety came back.

”Shall we go now?” Tyler stretched his hand forward and Melanie nodded her head.

She held his hand and stood from the couch she had sat on.

”Sister in law!” Elle and Kyle screamed, barging inside the room.

”Thank goodness you’re here, this anxiety is killing me,” Melanie smiled.

”Yeah, we know that’s why we’re here to take you down the aisle,” Kyle said and Elle nodded in affirmation.

”Kyle, shouldn’t you be with Flynn?” Melanie glanced at Kyle.

”Oh, your groom wanted me to be here. I see Tyler is here, that’s your name, right?” Kyle walked towards Tyler.

”Yes,” The latter grinned.

”You’re my soon-to-be brother-in-law. Why did you learn to make up? It’s a female’s job dude!” Kyle hit Tyler’s shoulder.

Elle furrowed her brow and slapped Kyle on his head.

”How dare you be rude to be my boyfriend, you idiot!” Elle screamed.

”What! Are you crazy?” Kyle held his head.

”Babe, don’t listen to him, and let’s focus on this wedding, okay?” Elle winked at Tyler.

”Wow, I see my twin sister has gone nut,” Kyle said.

”What? Me? Come here let me teach you a lesson,” Elle impersonated, waving at kyle to come forward.

The door opened and Cece entered.

”Are you guys through? Everyone is waiting for the bride,” Cece said.

It’s now or never.

Melanie thought inwardly maintaining the smile on her face.

==

”Ready?” Elle and Kyle chorused.

”Yes,” Melanie said and locked her arms in Elle and Kyle’s hands.

”I can’t wait to see the look on my brother’s face when he sees you. I bet the cameramen won’t miss that scene either,” Elle giggled.

”Same here, I bet he will drool,” Kyle laughed and Melanie shook her head.

These twins are not making things better.

”Let’s go,” Tyler said.

They led the bride outside the room and headed to the hall where the groom was already waiting.

~~

Melanie appeared at the opposite side where Flynn was waiting and everyone immediately focused on her.

The bride was too beautiful not to look at.

Her presence made everyone whisper, fascinated by this lady that stole the wanted bachelor from them.

”Gosh, I’m going to fall,” Melanie whispered, clinging onto the twins tighty.

”You won’t, you’ve forgotten who is holding you? Elle Harlan and Kyle Harlan. We’re never going to let our brother’s bride fall,” Kyle grinned.

God, what was this guy saying now.

Melinda walked towards them and the twins left Melanie to her mother who started walking her daughter towards her groom.

Melanie spaced out when she saw her groom, it’s not like she has not seen him in a black suit before but this man was looking more charming than before.

Melanie seemed bewitched and couldn’t focus on anything except the almost perfect man she was walking towards.

Melanie forgot her nervousness from the attention the crowds were giving her and only focused on her groom.

God, she wished this wedding didn’t come with those circumstances.

How could this man have so much influence on her?

Isn’t this man so perfect?

Finally, Melinda and Melanie reached where Flynn was.

Flynn stretched out his hand and Melanie sighed deeply before she took the man’s hand.

”Today, I leave Melanie to you and I hope you will never disappoint her,” Melinda said, tears falling from her eyes.

”Sure,” Flynn smiled.

”You’re very beautiful,” Flynn said to her as both walked.

”You’re not bad at either,” Melanie smiled and Melinda cleared her throat.

”Mum,” Melanie smiled shyly and watched her mother who walked away with a smile on her face.

~

Camila was sitting next to her mother, she didn’t want to attend the wedding, but Flynn had officially invited her. The press will make a deal out of that if she did not attend the wedding.

Camila kept staring at Flynn who was smiling sweetly at Melanie.

She knew Melanie looked very beautiful in her wedding dress, but she was never going to say that.

Melanie’s wedding dress surely cost a fortune since it was Cece that designed the dress.

Camila gritted her teeth when the wedding vows started and muttered incoherently.

When the wedding vows were completed, Camila looked away as Flynn leaned in to kiss Melanie, and every one clapped.

”That little bitch,” Camila clenched her fist.

~

Melanie couldn’t believe she had officially become Mrs. Harlan.

She chuckled lightly as Flynn inserted the wedding ring on her finger.

”Mrs. Harlan,” Flynn smiled when Melanie inserted the ring on his finger and the young lady furrowed her brow mouthereing, ‘what?’

”I’m the first person to call you Mrs. Harlan. You’ve enjoyed your single life enough, right… Wifey?” She said and Melanie grimaced.

Wifey?

Flynn laughed loudly when he saw the look on his wife’s face.

”Are you shocked? Don’t you like that I called you that?” Flynn laughed.

No one heard what there were saying, but seeing the arrogant tycoon laugh so sweetly like nothing was bothering him in the world was very pleasing.

Melanie was very lucky to have Flynn.

They agreed.

Melanie looked around the hall and saw everyone looking at them.

This was the first time in her twenty years of existence that she will be the cynosure of all eyes.

Flynn saw the nervousness in his bride and grabbed her by the waist.

”Look at me, only me. Don’t look at any other person. Focus only on me.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Somehow, the word soothed her as she stared at the man that became her husband a few minutes ago.

Melanie pulled Flynn’s face to her face and kissed him, forgetting that hundreds of eyes were on them.

She was going to cherish this moment while she was still at it. Because now, Flynn Harlan was the man she had married.

The man she had vowed to love with all of her heart for the rest of her life.

The man she had vowed to be with and cherish for the rest of her life.
