“But what about Jovanni?”

“Jovanni's place is to do as I tell him I won't hand my precious sister over to someone I knoon't hting that wrong, little sister I love you, and I want you and your baby happy and safe That's all I ever wanted”

I knew that, in my heart, I knew It's all Draven has ever done, keep me safe and happy and love me more than a brother, a lot like a father

“Is this real?” I askthere looking so sray suit and silver tie, and his hair is slicked back, his face free from stubble, and he looks so handsome I can hardly breathe

“As real as you and me, principessa All I want is for you to be happy, and if Jett makes you happy, then who am I to stand in your way?”

“But what about the council, the elders?”

“Don't you worry about that You are my only concern, Maria, not what a couple of old farts may think or say”

“But what if they want to put Jett through loyalty tests?” Like they tried with Hammer It didn't happen, Draven wouldn't allow it He won't let anyone do anything to his little brother He didn't allow theh those tests either, probably because Draven had already beaten the hell out of him Ghost proved he was loyal when he handed hiain when he married Avery The elders weren't happy at all, but it was my brothers call He'll do what he wants, no ht cost hi Jett is, these tests have broken biggerbut torture tactics Tests of loyalty that will either make you or break you My brother's men love to break people

“Sweetheart, don't worry about anything other than gettingto happen to him I know you love Jett, I see it in your eyes I know he loves you, too So go get married and be happy, Maria”

I don't answer him, I launch myself at him, my arms around his neck “Thank you so much!” I sob with happiness down his ear

“Go get ”

I kiss his cheek one last time and then turn to face Jett Theand jurab Jett's hand and squeeze it tightly, he winks at o

The cere comes to an end all too soon with an, “I now pronounce you man and wife Mr Jackson? You may now kiss Mrs Jackson”

Jett clasps rohich s his lips down onhi, and he's told me more than once that he can't help himself when he's near me However, we're in a church in front of all our friends and fao all porno here, but I do let hi level

Mrs Jackson! Oh My God!

Chapter Fourteen

Jett

How long have I got to stand here greeting people? I know it's so, but there's just so reet each and every one of them with a damn smile on my face on the orders of Don Vidal!

When I arrived at the church, Haoing on, and I felt my heart race a little too fast It see with Maria last night He realized giving her to whats-his-na decision

Vidal then explained to me that if I loved Maria, I'd prove to him just what she means to me I'd tell him exactly why I wanted to ave hi, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth I told him how she came to me and told me about the baby and as expected of her, how I didn't even hesitate to tell her that I'd marry her I told him hohen he forced us apart I'd taken it upon myself, after three weeks, to sneak over his wall and into her bedroom just to see her, because I needed to see her, to be near her, so she would knoas thinking about her

I didn't tell hiuess he knew that too It wasn't hard to figure out He even told me he kneeeks before that Maria had fallen for me, he just didn't want to ad every day even to eat correctly I knew she was putting on the fake s she was fine, just as she had for everyone else

He told me that if I really did love her, if I swore that I would protect her and our baby with o out there and marry her in place of that prick he'd chosen for her Can't iine that cunt was too happy when he found out he wouldn't beMaria after all

Draven toldin the world toelse She cries, I soothe her tears She smiles, I smile with her None of that will be hard to do She's not a hard wo to me already
