Mines Forever: A Vallea Mafia Romance Story - Chapter 88: Chapter 93

"Bro, you good over there", Arsenio nudged my shoulder as I zoned out for a moment, over-analyzing how shit might go left tonight. Verena and I just got back home four hours ago from our short-lived honeymoon. To say I was pissed was a fucking understatement. Instead of Verena being sad or angry about our honeymoon being disrupted, it made me feel even worse, while we shared a kiss, "Babe, everything is going to be okay. It was about time for everyone to know we are together, anyway". Verena was trying to be optimistic about this situation, but she had no idea what she was about to step into.
This was an important day for us, being a mafia couple. I made a lot of phone calls while Verena and I took the private jet back home to Alphacrest. Verena wanted to stay up to keep me company, but I told her she needed to get some much-needed rest. "No I am not good bro, this shit got me fucking ready to blow somebody head off disrupting my time with my lady". Arsenio allowed me to voice my frustrations like he has always done in the past, allowing me the freedom to be vulnerable without there being judgment.
"Take this, you need it more than I do right now". I glance down to see Arsenio offering me a shot of some brown liquor. I take hold of the glass, bringing it up to my nostrils, and take a sniff. I immediately smile when I catch hold of the scent of hazelnut and aged leather. "Where the fuck you get a bottle of this old pimp drink from, you must have stole this from my dad or some shit. Arsenio shakes his head, grinning. "No bro, you know it's only right to keep a stash of some good shit when things get chaotic, no need for you to crash out right now. Think of this as another wedding gift". Arsenio then walks over to the grand piano and sitting on top of it is a bottle of Gordon & Macphail 1982 whiskey. Arsenio walks back over and places the bottle in my free hand. "This is all yours bro". I smile before taking a sip of the whiskey. "You spent a pretty penny on this good shit". Arsenio shrugs, "That ain't nothing, I got an entire collection of aged wine and whiskey that's other than the one you holding right now". I smirk, "You ever thought about having your distillery". Arsenio raises his eyebrows in question, "Naw, but that not' too bad of an idea".
"What's not too bad of an idea?", Arsenio and I both turn around when we hear Verena. "Fuck", I say as I take hold of the tight-fitted champagne-colored halter maxi dress that is covered with Swarkoski crystals. My dick is hard as a rock right now as I stare at babygirl. She is breathtaking. I can feel my heart beating fast as she walks towards both me and Arsenio. "You look beautiful sis", Arsenio embraces Verena as she pats his shoulder, before fixing his tie in his custom wheat-colored suit. She then glances over at me seductively, her eyes trail down my body, before she takes notice of the whiskey bottle in my hand.
"What are we celebrating?", before I can come up with a response, Verena takes my shot out of hand, "Baby, be careful, this is some strong grade of whiskey right here". Verena waves me off, "I can handle myself", she says before chugging down the whiskey. She takes a look at me before she begins coughing. I immediately put the whiskey bottle down on the coffee table and placed my hands against her cheeks. "Breathe, baby", I coach her as I see that her eyes have turned red, a sign she is a lightweight in drinking alcohol. I carry her out of the room and make way down the hallway toward the kitchen. I can hear Arsenio following behind us. Once we make it to the kitchen, Verena tries to pull herself out of my grasp. "Eryx, I'm fine now I just wasn't expecting that shit to be so strong". I place Verena on the kitchen bar stool as Arsenio has already prepared a tall glass of ice water and hands it to me. "Drink all of this, I do not need you getting tipsy right now". Verena nods before gulping down the water in one setting. "You sure she good bro". Arsenio is just as concerned as I am about Verena.
Verena groans and crosses her arms, annoyed with us both. "Hello, I'm sitting right here, you two. I am fine. I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself". I frown, not liking what Verena just said. "No need for you to worry about taking care of yourself. I'm taking care of you now". I then pull her left finger up, showing her the big diamond I placed on her finger a few days prior. "We need to be headed out, everyone is waiting for us at the party". Arsenio reminds us that we are running late. "Wait for us in the car, I need to discuss something with Verena before we leave". Arsenio nods before exiting the house. Once we are alone, I look at Verena in awe. "You're handling all of this so well". I then plant kisses all over her face, causing her to giggle. I then place a kiss against her lips. I moan in her mouth when I taste the smell of cinnamon. "Let's go upstairs for a quickie".
Verena shakes her head. "No, we need to leave", she then walks in front of me as I stare down at her ass. Verena turns back around and catches me staring at her ass. "You see something you like", she then winks before swishing her hips harder than before as I watch her ass jiggle in her dress. She was getting fucked before the night ended.
20 minutes later
"I wasn't expecting so many people to be at this party, I assume it would be something small and intimate". Verena looks a bit fearful as she sees all the foreign cars lined up in front of Duluth castle, a commonplace where important meetings or events are held for anyone within the mafia or cartel. The Duluth castle holds an important place in memories for the Vallea Mafia. it is the same place where my parents' engagement was first announced to the mafia world. This place is where I took an oath in front of members of the coalition to honor the mafia code as well as my father. I look down at the x marked on my wrist. Some day soon, my little brothers will have to come here to get their marking as well. I grab hold of Verena's hand, keeping a firm grip as I help her out of the Rolls-Royce. No outsiders are permitted to ever come to Duluth castle. I catch Verena staring in awe of the castle. "This place is beautiful". I nod, this place is beautiful, but she has no idea how deadly it is inside.
Arsenio stands to my left, "I see your pops standing front and center with member of the coalition". I grit my teeth, dad was loving the attention while I was treading on thin ice not trying to cause a scene. Verena places her hand on my arm, "Eryx you are shaking baby" she then turns me around to face. "We can go home if you are not up to entertaining anyone". Oh shit, this woman is too fucking good for me. Before I can answer, I hear my father's voice over a microphone, "Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time, I would like to introduce the newlyweds, Eryx and Verena Vallea". Everyone begins clapping and cheering for us as I place my hand against Verena's lower back, keeping her in place. Verena looks up at me and smiles before looking at the crowd with no fear in her eyes, not knowing she is looking into the eyes of the most ruthless cartel and mafia leaders in the world.
"Come to the center of the room, and allow everyone to get a closer look at you guys, Dad motions to us to come stand where he is with the thirty members of the mafia coalition standing behind him. Verena and I keep our steps slow but steady as we make it to the center of the room, where I feel so many eyes on us right now. Dad looks at me first as if he is seeing me for the first time. "I'm so proud of you, son, you picked well and I'm excited for this new chapter you're stepping into now". Dad then looks at Verena. "You have no idea the blessing you are to my son and our family. You are now the queen of this family, a title that was once held by late wife. Do you accept this role, Verena?".
I glance at Verena, feeling a sense of nervousness overcomes me out of nowhere. Verena smiles at dad, "Yes, I accept this role". My cheers and applause fill the crowded room. In tradition, I am required to kneel in front of Verena and kiss her right hand, as well as the other mafia and cartel leaders must do so as well, to show respect for her new role as the queen of the Vallea Mafia.
"My love, thank you for choosing to do life with me. My queen, my heart, my cherie". I then place a soft, chaste kiss against her hand. Verena grins from ear to ear, before bending down to give me a quick peck on the lips. "My king, my Amore. my sweetheart". Once our endearing moment is done, I grab the mic from Dad's hand with a smile on my face, looking into the crowd.
"Если кто-то в этой комнате проявит неуважение к моей жене, я убью его. Поймите" (Anyone in this room ever disrespects my wife, I will kill you. Understand.)I see the fear in some leaders' eyes as they nod in response. Verena looks confused. 'What did you say to everyone? now the room feels tense". I place my hand on Verena's cheek. "I was just telling the crowd how much I love you that's all, Cherie".
