Betide to Love You

I stood at the altar, knowing what was about to happen but still a smile was plastered upon my lips. My heart flutters in happiness because thats the day I am going to marry the love of my life, Lydia. She is my everything and now I want to spend my life with her.

I cannot explain my content, a feeble emotion of love and benediction filled me up. My blue eyes glistened in excitement to espy the upcoming moment. I am looking forward to it.

I ran my hand in my black hair and turned to look at my Best friend Christian Elvis, looked at me with a smirk and showed me a thumbs up.

I chuckled and turned away, waiting for my bride to come and end this tormenting wait of mine. As I was waiting, one of my men came to me,

”Mr Moretti. ” He called me. A faint smirk crept upon my lips as I turned to look at him. He whispered something in my ears as my eyes widened in horror.

My heart clenched and broke to pieces. My lips began to quiver as I lost my strength. It hurt me more than I could have anticipated. Breaking apart, I ran to the dressing of Lydia and saw her corpse lying there.

My world comes to a crash. I lost my ability to think. I was devastated to see the sight before me.

My love fell apart that day…

***

I woke with a loud gasp, I began to pant because of my nightmare. Just when I was about to start a good day this horrible nightmare ruined it. I sighed and ruffled my hair and got out of my bed. I don want anything to destroy my day. I have to keep my calm and don worry about things much.

I stood under the shower as the cold droplets of it drenched me. I tried to let out the horrendous sight to get out of my mind so that a lull can take over. I have never been that nervous in my life before. But, I know how to wrap things up. I just have to do what Kathrine told me.

”Look, The relationship aroused from hate is much stronger than others. Its strength would be greater than anything else. ”

I took a deep breath and got out of the shower. It doesn suit the Head of Mafia leader to act afraid. I am someone peoples souls should tremble to hear but I have to keep my identity a secret.

From the outside, I am a simple businessman but the reality is my whole childhood started and ended in the dark world. After countless struggles and hardships I have gained this position.

I am like the puppet master of the Mafia leaders, their strings are in my hand and there was actually a point in my life where I wanted to stop and let it go but since when I was bestowed with love? Its just a short-lived passion,

Its simple for me. I get what I want.

I got ready and went to breakfast. Its a habit of mine to hear about work in the morning while having breakfast- I don know, just to spoil my mood.

”Sir, That investigator James found out about the morning shipments. ”

”Shipments of what? ” I said, taking a sip of my coffee.

”Guns, Sir. They were trading under your name. If he found out exactly what you were exporting, it would be fatal. ” I stopped when I heard it. I cursed under my breath and stood up. My temper is something I cannot control. It just got the best of me.

”You should have told me this before, Idiot! ” I yelled. I took my phone and left. I never fail to destroy my day but thats the only way for me to get out of that loneliness inside me. I grit my teeth and went to the port and saw Christian talking to the officer. I let out a sigh of relief knowing he got my back. He may have left the Mafia world but always been there for me.

I got out and walked to him,

”Hey, dude, What happened? ” I asked, being oblivious as I didn know what happened.

”Nothing, Mr Moretti, just a survey. ” James said. I gave him my mocking smile and asked.

”Well, enjoy yourself Officer. ” He narrowed his eyes at me and challenged, ”Just you wait, Mr Tyler Moretti. It will all end soon. ”

”For you. ” I still said with my smile and he left. After he left, I scoffed and shook my head.

”You should go and enjoy your wedding. Its the first day. ” I teased. He rolled his eyes off and remained silent.

”I am leaving for work. Good Luck. ” Christian said and left. After he left I sighed and called the incharge of the shipment,

”George! ” He came and I looked at him in irk, ”How did the information get out? ” I asked direly. ”I-I don M-Mr Moretti. ” He said, afraid. The way he speak its clear he would dare to betray me.

”I want you to find this person in a week or else you will pay for his deed. ” I said threateningly. ”Y-Yes, Sir. ”

I then took a look around and decided to give a warm gift to Officer Jame so that the low level guy could know his place and of course.

I certainly didn make him transfer to another city on purpose so that he won sniff at my work like a dog he is.

And after that tiresome and monotonous day, I decided to have a coffee and lunch in a quiet place to calm my mind.

I went to the Amber one hotel as the waitress asked, ”What would you like to have, Sir? ” You.

Thats what I wanted to say. I mean she was cute and if we met in a bar, I would love to spend my night with her.

”Hmm.. A cold coffee. ” I said and began to use my phone. Do not pay attention. She left and came with a cold coffee. My heart began to beat fast, almost about to burst from my chest.

My hand turned cold. I swallowed the lump in my throat. My gaze was fixed on my phone, still on looking up at Cand- I mean that girl.

”Here you go, Sir. ” She said and moved away. I inhaled deeply and took a sip of my coffee and spit it out,

”What the hell is this?! ” I asked, agitated.

”Is something wrong, Sir? ” She asked innocently.

”I asked for a cold coffee, not cold water. What the hell is this? ”

”I apologize, Sir. I will get you another one. ”

”Its gonna taste the same, woman! ” I yelled.

”Don yell at me, I am not the one who made it. ” She said, shrugging her shoulders.

”What did you say? ” I growled.

”What you heard, Sir. ” She hissed.

”Watch your mouth. ” I hissed back.

”What? I am not the chef? ” She said,

”What happened? ” The voice of the manager came. ”Teach your workers some manners. ” I said angrily.

”What did you do this time, Candice? ” The old guy asked sternly. ”Sir, I just served him his order. ”

”And talk rudely. ” I added. She gasped, ”You yelled at me first! ”

”Enough Candice. This is the third complaint we have received from you. We cannot tolerate this kind of behavior. You are dismissed. ” The Manager said. The girl, Candices eyes went wide when she heard it.

”No, No, No, Sir. Please, I am sorry. ” She begged.

”Only if our guest forgives you. ” The manager said. Tears brimmed in her eyes as she looked at me pleading.

”I am so sorry, Sir. Please forgive me. ” She said, at the verge of crying. I took my phone and glasses from the table. I wore my glasses and unbuttoned my coat as a feeble smirk crept upon my lips and I left saying, ”You deserve this. ”

And thats how everything started…
