ace of spades
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*working in her office*
There was a knock on the door.
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
Come in. *says without looking up, flicking through files*
YIN︱FL's assistant
*enters and politely bows.*
YIN︱FL's assistant
Miss, Mr. Luca has sent through the marriage details. *offers the iPad* Would you like to have a look?
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*takes it and quickly skims over it.*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*chuckle* No engagement or meeting beforehand, huh?
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
Straight to the union. *aware of exactly what her father is getting out of this marriage*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*hands it back to him*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
You know my size, don't you Yin?
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
Arrange a dress for me within the next two weeks remaining before I get married. *professionally*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*Starts looking through her files again*
Yin remained standing there as if he wanted to say something but was too scared to.
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*looks up* What? Do you need something? You can go.
YIN︱FL's assistant
*hesitantly* Miss, I'll buy the dress, but.. Do you really not want to buy it yourself? A marriage is an important part of life.
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*smiles* Don't make the mistake of considering this a marriage like any others. *doesn't reveal much*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
Now go, and buy me the most expensive dress you can find. *hands him the company card*
YIN︱FL's assistant
*nods* Of course miss.
YIN︱FL's assistant
*leaves*
The office room was silent, but for the occasional sound of Valencia flipping the papers or scribbling something.
This was her self-owned company, that was equally for profit and for finding new partners (whether that was for the business or the mafia on the underside..)
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*taps her pen then looks out the window, leaning back on her chair*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
Marriage.. *whispers*
**I wonder..**
The day of the marriage, in the dressing room at the venue.
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*getting her makeup final touches done.*
FRANCESCA MARANZANO︱FL's mother
*enters and looks at her*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*sees her in the mirror* Mother-
FRANCESCA MARANZANO︱FL's mother
Don't talk, or you'll ruin the makeup! *interrupts strictly*
FRANCESCA MARANZANO︱FL's mother
*walks forward and tilts her jaw to examine her properly, as if she is some auction product about to be sold.*
FRANCESCA MARANZANO︱FL's mother
*sighs* Good enough.
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*eyes dullen*
The makeup artist finished her work and helped Valencia stand up.
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*gets up*
FRANCESCA MARANZANO︱FL's mother
*grabs her arm.* Let's go. Now, smile.
FRANCESCA MARANZANO︱FL's mother
We wouldn't want to disappoint the De Angelis family, would we now? *mutters threateningly as she gives Valencia's arm to her father*
FRANCESCA MARANZANO︱FL's mother
You will become the property of your husband the minute your father lets go of your arm. *pulls her veil over her face* Please him well, even if he is a cripple.
FRANCESCA MARANZANO︱FL's mother
*slightly snorts*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*looks at her silently*
FRANCESCA MARANZANO︱FL's mother
*tuts and leaves to go sit in her seat*
LUCA MARANZANO︱FL's dad
*looks at Valencia with an unreadable look* Let's go. *gruffly walks her to the doors at the beginning of the aisle*
The doors opened, revealing a red carpeted aisle and grand wedding hall that smelt of money.
Tables draped in white silk of other mafia families and members on either side expectantly looked at the opening doors, and were not disappointed.
(im literally obsessed with this dress i want to breathe eat and live it)
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*smirks below the veil as they walk down the aisle, but not because everyone is silent at her beauty, but..*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
**Father, you thought I played into your hand, didn't you?**
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
**What a silly, silly man to believe that I agreed so easily to a marriage just because he was 'threatening enough'**
Her roughened yet slim hand was placed in the hand of her to-be husband, a man with large but soft hands..
From that first touch, it was vividly obvious the difference in lives the two betrothed had lived so far..
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
*steps up onto the altar, eyes cast down but a smirk beneath the veil.*
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
**Now watch as I ruin everything around you, Father**
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
**I promise to burn it all to the ground with nothing but ashes remaining.**
VALENCIA MARANZANO︱FL
**After all, that is the Maranzano way.**
