Chapter 52 Rules to follow

Book:In Love With A Billionaire Casanova Published:2024-5-1

Sia was standing a few paces away from her bed as she scanned the long white wedding dress and narrowed her eyes even more as she thought back to the day she stopped Emiliano’s wedding. That day she put everything on the line and knew her actions would lead to something else, and now she was going to walk down the aisle as his bride.
“Hmm”Sia hummed and ran her hand on the soft fabric and half sat on the bed, the wedding dress design didn’t look like any of the designs she was shown by Jean and the package was delivered by the Alvaro’s which meant the Casanova was the one who chose it. Sia shook her head as she blinked several times and prepared to stop starting getting ready, but there was a knock and the door pushed open only to reveal none other than Angelo already dressed in his black tux because he was Emiliano’s best man and as always, he had a huge smile on his face.
“Hey kiddo, are you ready?” Angelo said and Sia arched a brow and crossed her arms over her chest as she eyed him from head to toe and nodded in satisfaction.
“Well, well, you look exceptional”Sia remarked and Angelo winked at her playfully and walked close to her and draped his hands on her shoulders and lowered his head to her height.
“Nice one princess, but you used wrong words… I look dashing too handsome that I think someone might sue me for it”he said with so much pride and with a smile that had Sia scoffing in her heart and shrugged him off.
“So full of yourself”saying that she moved from him and started arranging her wedding dress and Angelo chuckled and sat nearly her bed and inspected the silver sparkly tiara that came with a long beautiful veil.
“You are everything Tara told me about, I mean Tara never missed a chance to talk about you”Angelo said in a low serious voice and hearing him Sia who was half bent looked up and nodded.
“She never stopped talking about you too?”she reminded and Angelo set the tiara back and got up and sighed heavily as he strode to the window down and stared out where people were busy making decorations.
“Did she? Sia I know you might think that…”he started but Sia cut him off.
“I know it wasn’t your fault, Angelo you had to watch the woman you loved marry another man not just that you had to act as a divorce lawyer against the woman you love”Sia walked to him and put her hand on his shoulder to comfort him and Angelo turned around to face her and a small smile appeared on his face.
“And again Tara was right, not only are you strong but sweet Sia… I just didn’t have a chance to meet you back then,”he chuckled and Sia slapped his arm playfully and Angelo beamed. It wasn’t old news that Tara and him were lovers since college and promised each other a future, but her father didn’t like him because he wasn’t from a right family.
When he and Mario were just children their parents died in a factory where they used to work, and after their death things became complicated for the two because their greedy uncle took every inheritance they were left with leaving them in the streets to die like stray dogs. He was the eldest and therefore had to make sure his little brother had a good life, and hence he started looking for part-time jobs, and he got his first job as a dog walker since he was just a 10 years old and that’s where he met Emiliano, the rich kid who instantly be friended him and since then, they became good friends. Emiliano had done nothing but support him through and through, Emiliano even went as far as stealing his father’s money just to help him pay school fees and when his dad found out Emiliano took the punishment without complaining.
Angelo knew just how selfless his best friend was because Emiliano never differentiated between the two and treated him and Mario as equals, he recalled once when he was chased out of school because he never paid his school fees in time and tragedy happened because his boss at a bar accused him of stealing money, Angelo had to wash cars in humiliation and to his surprise Emiliano also joined him in washing the cars because they were friends and friends stuck together no matter what, and hence he wanted nothing but good things to happen in Emiliano’s life because Emiliano was a brother to him and Angelo’s life became better when he met Tara at law school, and they fell deeply in love unfortunately her father had another man in mind, and he had no choice than to let her marry the man her father chose however things got complicated when the man turned out to be a bipolar narcissist who treated Tara badly, and hence she filed for divorce.
“It’s okay, I was always in disguises”Sia laughed and Angelo chuckled.
“Tell you what… trust me Sia you doing this… you marrying Emiliano is the best thing… I know people think of him as selfish but believe me Emiliano is the best man any girl could ever get no doubt”he said sincerely, Sia had nothing to say about it, so she just blinked several times and nodded.
“I’m doing this for Diego only”she remarked and Angelo smiled.
“Come here kiddo”Angelo said and brought her in a tight hug and Sia hugged him back, he was like a big brother to her. For the past few days, Angelo had been supportive towards her and always visited her to cheer her up sometimes he played with Diego when in the past he feared babies.
“Okay now I should get ready”she said and moved back and Angelo planted a kiss on her forehead and beamed.
“Best of luck partner and don’t worry I’ll be out there cheering for you”he beamed and pinched her cheeks cutely and Sia run her hand his hair messing it up and heard him whine as he set it back in the style his hair was in and turned to leave but just as he turned he found Emiliano standing by the door looking as if he was about to commit murder, his eyes were full of anger, but Angelo didn’t care to take note.
“Hi bro… wait you can’t see her in her wedding dress it’s bad luck”Angelo said desperately and stretched his arms to the sides to shield Sia from been seen by Emiliano of course Sia yawned and rolled her eyes in annoyance while Emiliano shot daggers at him to move, but Angelo wasn’t moving.
“Get the fuck out”Emiliano said and pushed Angelo aside, and he stumbled back and chuckled.
“Fine I’m leaving… but no fighting you two”he warned and out the door he left. The room became heavy as tension grew even stronger in the air, Sia didn’t bother asking him what he wanted, so she just turned to leave, but Emiliano grabbed her arm so fast that she gasped from fright as her body connected with his and frowned at him.
“Y… you are hurting me… let go”Sia said as she tried to wiggle out of his death grip, but Emiliano had a serious facial expression as he gripped her even more tight as his dark cold eyes bore into her such that Sia felt like he could see right through her with his piercing eyes, was he angry for some reason and if so, why or could it be that he saw Angelo with her? she thought.
“Before we get married I have a few rules for you to follow”he finally said and let go of her and Sia took a step back and held her right arm which he had gripped so tightly.
“And I have a few rules for you Emiliano”she said with a smirk and walked to the nightstand and retrieved a blue file and when she turned back to him she noticed he had a file too.
