Her Mafia Husband

Xalia smiled nervously as she stood in front of the mirror and stared at her reflection, she placed her hand on her stunning dress and took in a deep breath. It is her big day, the day she has always been dreaming of since she met him.

She couldn't help but giggle at how beautiful she looked, she couldn't wait to see the look in his eyes when he saw her, and she couldn't wait to say her vows and be with him for the rest of her life. She really did not doubt taking this step, she is ready for this.

“Hey, are you ready?” She heard a familiar voice ask and she turned to see her mother walking in.

“Yes, mum.” She replied with a smile and her mother hugged her lightly.

“You look so beautiful honey, your wedding dress is amazing.” Her mother complimented and she smiled widely.

“I know right, Kyle picked it personally.” She giggled in response and her mother laughed.

“Mum, you look kind of worried, is everything okay?” She asked, noticing a hint of fake in her mother’s laughter.

“It's fine dear, it's nothing. It's just that I haven't seen your father since last night.” She replied and Xalia rolled her eyes.

“So? Are you surprised?”

“Not really but it is your big day, he should be here.” She sighed and Xalia held her hand.

“Mum, it's okay. We don't need him and I don't want to be sad today.”

“Right, sorry, my bad.” Her mother laughed and she smiled. She has been dealing with this right from childhood, it is something she is used to. Being born into a polygamous family isn't such a good life but with time, you will get used to it and learn to live with it.

The door to the room suddenly opened and her best friend walked in with a smile.

“Hey.” She called with a burst of nervous laughter and Xalia gave her a questioning look.

“I’m I that late already? We should get going then.” She tried to adjust her gown but her friend laughed and held her hands.

“Xalia, I think you might want to calm down a bit... “

“Huh?” Xalia’s mother asked, confused and she laughed nervously again.

“Is everything okay?” Xalia asked and her friend, Allison shook her head.

“Oh my God, is Kyle okay?” She asked in fear.

“Yes, Kyle is okay, nobody is hurt, everything is fine.”

“So what is going on? We have to get to the church.” Xalia’s mother said and Allison stuttered thinking of the best way to break the news to them.

This isn't going to hurt Xalia alone, it is also going to bring shame and ruin things for her family, they are highly respected in Atlanta alongside Kyle’s family, it's not just a wedding being ruined, it is a public disgrace.

“Allison, tell me what is going on right now!” Xalia snapped and Allison sighed.

“Turn on Channel 9.” She exhaled with a worried expression and Xalia’s mother picked up the remote from the huge bed, she turned to the television and turned it on, Xalia waited nervously to see what was going on on Channel 9.

As it came on, Xalia watched what was happening and she raised her brow in confusion.

She could see her father locking arms with her step-sister and walking her down the aisle, she was confused and her expression slowly turned to a frown. She didn't know her step-sister was having a wedding today. Today is her day.

They got to the altar where the groom was and Xalia felt her heart stop beating as she stared at the groom. She felt her head spin and started to feel dizzy, she slowly sat on the bed still in shock and her mother gasped.

That is her husband to be up there and he is getting married to her step-sister, she watched them hold hands and say their vows with smiles on their faces, Allison hurriedly turned off the television and turned to Xalia.

“Xalia, I am so sorry.”
