Me Go, My Mafia Husband
Chapter 250 Wedding Planning Finished
Aria stormed toward Matteo, her eyes blazing with fury. Matteo swallowed hard, sensing the fierce protectiveness in her gaze-and knowing it was all for Emily. He was aware that the world saw him as a shameless womanizer, someone who could never commit to a woman or take love seriously. And, for the most part, they were right-at least, until he met Emily She had changed him in ways he hadn't thought possible, and now, he wanted nothing more than to build a life with the one woman who had captured his heart.
"Aria, listen-" he began, clearing his throat to voice out his points firmly. But she cut him off, stopping just inches away from him and holding up a hand to silence him.
"No, you listen," she snapped. "You really think that just because you said you have feelings for her, everything will be fine? I don't buy this crap, Matteo Vinci. You need to get how serious this is-what you're asking her to do, what you're asking from all of us." Matteo's stomach knotted as he considered her words. He knew Emily was haunted by her past, and he couldn't afford to be blind to how his family's mess might affect her. But he had shown her repeatedly that she meant the world to him.
"I get it, I'm not the perfect guy any girl dreams of marrying, Aria," he replied, his voice firm. "But I'm ready to put in the work and change things. I just want to make her happy."
"How?! Making her happy is more than just words," Aria replied sharply. "You need to show us that deserve her, that you won't break her heart."

Matteo nodded, holding Aria's gaze with steady confidence. "Tell me what you need me to do, and I'll prove it to you. I'll never leave her side, even if she tries to push me away. I love her, Aria. She means everything to me."
Aria's expression softened slightly-this was exactly what she needed to hear. She was well aware of everything Matteo Vinci had done to protect Emily. If he'd wanted to, he could have pushed back, reminding her of all the times he'd been there for Emily, but he hadn't. He hadn't mentioned a single favor, hadn't tried to defend himself by listing his past efforts. Instead, he stood there, ready to prove himself in any way she asked.
This was the kind of man Aria wanted for her best friend-someone who didn't seek praise or credit, just someone committed to loving her with everything he had. For the first time, her heart eased, knowing Emily had found the perfect partner, just as she had in Alessandro.
But Aria bit back a smile, deciding to tease Matteo a bit longer. She kept her expression stern and added a playful threat, "You'd better mean it, Matteo. Because if you fail, I'll beat you to a pulp."
Alessandro, who had been watching their exchange with growing amusement, couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't worry, mia moglie. I'll take care of that for you and he knows it."
"Alright, enough of intimidating the ruthless, infamous attorney on my behalf," came Emily's voice, making Aria grin and Matteo finally relax.
Emily stepped out from behind the wall, where she'd been hiding to listen at Mia's insistence, letting Matteo face the full force of Aria's interrogation on his own. Her presence calmed him instantly, his heartbeat easing as she smiled at him. "I trust him," Emily said softly, filling Matteo's heart with warmth and love.

Finished
Unable to hold back, he pulled her into his arms, earning a groan from both Aria and Alessandro at his impatience.
"Already can't keep your hands to yourself, huh?" Aria teased, rolling her eyes, while Emily giggled,
"So, does this mean I'm worthy enough to ask for your blessing, Aria Valentino, and your permission to marry your best friend?" Matteo asked, his smile warm and genuine.
Aria crossed her arms but smiled back. "She's not just my best friend, Matteo-she's my sister," she reminded him firmly. Then, glancing at Alessandro, she beamed. "And yes, you have our blessing."This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Alessandro nodded, his expression softening. "We're happy for you, Emily and Matteo."
"Thank you for everything, Mr. Valentino," Emily said with genuine gratitude, her voice full of sincerity.
"That was nothing. You're family now, my only sister-in-law," Alessandro said, glancing at Aria, who smiled, clutching her husband's waist and hugging him tightly Alessandro wrapped his arms around her, adding with a soft smile, "And please, call me Alessandro." Emily nodded, returning his smile warmly.
"Alright then, it's settled! Time to start wedding shopping," Aria chimed in, then let out a deep breath. "Oh god, so many things to plan and organize!"
"Don't worry, amore mio," Alessandro chuckled at his wife's excitement, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. "Everything will be taken care of. Just remember to take care of yourself too," he reminded her.
"I know, Alessandro, but I want to make it perfect," Aria said, pouting.
Alessandro's heart sank with the realization that she had never had the perfect wedding she deserved. He now wanted to give her everything he had failed to provide in the past due to their misunderstandings. Now, he longed to plan a surprise wedding for her, but how could he pull that off? Hiding anything from his wife was nearly impossible, and keeping a secret was out of the question-Aria always seemed to know exactly what he was thinking.
He sighed, "Alright, do whatever you want, la mia regina, but take bodyguards with you everywhere," he added, his tone more serious.
Matteo exchanged a curious glance with the Italian don, trying to read his mind. Alessandro appeared calm on the outside, but inside, he knew exactly why he felt apprehensive this time. His sources had hinted that the Marino gang was looking for an opportunity to take him down, and Alessandro didn't want to take a single chance.
