Her hair was beautifully done in an updo, and she even wore a tiara that completed the look altogether. Her neck was decorated with a classic round diamond necklace, complemented by matching earrings.
“You look absolutely breathtaking.” I stared at her in pure awe.
“Thank you, Thaia.” Cara smiled warmly before taking in a deep breath.
With a smile playing on my lips, I grasped the veil and made my way towards her.
“How nervous are you?”
“So fucking much, and I don’t even know why. I knew this day was coming, and it’s all part of the deal.” She breathed out and kept twisting her fingers in nervousness.
“Because this is no longer just a business deal for you. You love him.” I chuckled.
“I know.” Cara said in relief, happiness etched on her face.
“You’re finally free; to live the life you want with Tank Man.”
“He’s never going to hear the end of that nickname, is he?”
“Never!” We both laughed.
With the long veil finally in place, I turned to steal a glance at her, my eyes filled with adoration. She looked like the most beautiful Disney princess ever.
“I wish mom was here to see you. She would have been so proud of you.” I said, my voice cracking, tears shimmering in my eyes, as Cara’s expression softened into a sad smile.
“I’m happy I got to see her one more time.” She sniffed. “Oh no, the tears are coming, and I just got my makeup done!” She quickly looked up, blinking back tears. I chuckled as I blinked my tears away and helped her blow some air to not ruin her makeup.
Once making sure Cara was ready, I went to check on Tank Man to see how it was going on his end. I neared his suite and some of Damiano’s men were outside.
“Donna.” They greeted me with a nod, and I smiled in return.
“I told you, Althaia is just fine.”
“Not going to happen.”
I shook my head, a bit amused by them. They insisted on calling me Donna as a sign of respect, and no matter how many times I told them to just call me by my name, they refused big time.
I knocked on the door, waited for a bit before poking my head inside. When I saw it was the usual gang present with Lorenzo, I entered.
“Oh wow, look at you! You cleaned up well.” I grinned as I approached him.
He did look impressive in his wedding tuxedo; an elegant silk dress shirt in a deep copper color with silver patterns on the collars to match Cara’s dress, his cuffs following the same design, and a tie to bring it all together.
His waistcoat was black with crisscross patterns of the same deep copper color and had a crown symbol in the middle. He finished the look with a black velour blazer and classic black dress pants.
“Thank you, Althaia.”
“So, Lorenzo…” I trailed off while I fixed his tie. “Since Cara has a useless father, I have taken the role to say this.” I tugged on the tie to have him meet me at eye level, and have it slightly tighten around his neck.
“If you hurt her, I will kill you. I’m not sure how since you’re Tank Man, but I will find a way. I promise you that.”
The corner of his mouth went up.
“I can assure you, I’m not going to hurt her.” He promised.
“Good!” I said happily and released him with a big smile.
“You’re lucky you’re my brother’s wife. Or else I wouldn’t have let it slide that you just threatened to kill me.” He said with a slight smirk.
