My Blind Fiancée

Days later, inside the Duomo di Milano, a ceremony was taking place. A beautiful bride walked down the aisle, dressed in a stunning white gown, a long, airy lace veil covering her face.

In front of the altar stood a handsome groom, dressed in an elegant black suit. What caught everyone’s attention the most was the enormous smile on the groom’s face, radiating so much happiness that it infected those present.

The wedding march came to a halt, and the bride reached the altar, followed by a handsome young boy holding the train of her dress. Matt was dressed in an identical suit to his father’s.

Seeing Ava, Mateo thought there was no more beautiful bride in the world. Ava looked like an angel in that attire. He approached to lift the veil and uncover her face, revealing those beautiful blue eyes that were brighter than ever.

The ceremony began, and when the time came, they exchanged their vows.

“I, Ava Miller, accept you, Mateo Licciardi, as my lawful husband. I feel so fortunate to have found you on my path. I promise to share my entire life with you, my dreams, my tears, and my laughter. From today, I give you all that I am and all that I will be. I will be with you in sickness and in health every day of my life.”

Mateo couldn’t help but let a few tears escape as he looked into her eyes. He took her hand to speak his vows.

“I, Mateo Licciardi, accept you, Ava Miller, as my lawful wife. I will love you at all times. I give you my heart and my life to walk together forever. I will be with you in sickness and in health every day of my life.”

Ava, like Mateo, couldn’t hold back the tears of excitement that flowed freely.

Morgana approached, carrying the rings and coins. After the celebration, the priest gave his blessing to the couple, and they sealed their union with a long kiss to the joy of those present.

As they left the church, their friends threw rice at them and released several white doves, all of this to wish the newlyweds prosperity and fertility.

Mateo wanted a big party to celebrate his wedding, they had to overcome so many things to be together that he wanted to share his happiness with everyone.

The moment of the dance arrived, the bride and groom entered the center of the dance floor, Mateo took Ava by the waist and she put her arms around his neck, they began to move with a slow and rhythmic pace, at that moment everything around them disappeared, only they existed.

“My love of my life, my beautiful, we will be together for eternity, in this life and the next,” Mateo said.

“My beloved Mateo, since I met you, you became my love, my one and only true love,” Ava replied.

They sealed their love with a kiss, then they danced with their son and their loved ones, a while later they said goodbye, they would spend their honeymoon in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, Ava chose that place because it was where she fell madly in love with him.

Their son Matt stayed with Lola and Aurora, Ava wanted to take him with them, but they didn’t allow it, it was about them enjoying their honeymoon together.

He covered her eyes as they entered the room where they would spend their wedding night.

When he uncovered her eyes, Ava could see the beautiful decoration, a path of small candles led them to the bed, on top of it, hundreds of red rose petals formed a heart.

Mateo took her by the waist and kissed her passionately, soon their clothes were on the floor.

On the bed, the pair of lovers gave in to their passion, Mateo kissed every inch of Ava’s skin as she moaned with pleasure, he would never tire of loving her, they both let go, he belonged to her completely, she gave him her body and soul to the only man who had awakened her sensations when she was still in the shadows, the man who had taught her to know her own body.

Mateo held Ava’s hand, they were sitting on the grass in the garden watching their children run around, little Sophia was turning three that day, while Matt had just turned five a few days ago, they ran all over the garden accompanied by their friends.

It was little Tadeo, the twins Alek and Alessia, who were the children of Máx and Morgana. Ima and Akiro were eagerly awaiting their first baby.

Aurora and Lola watched as the mansion filled with joy. Far from being bothered by all the commotion, they felt fortunate. Everything was happiness. Ava and Mateo tried to spend as much time as possible with them and their children.

They spent their days between the Licciardi mansion and the villa that Mateo had bought, but always together with Lola and Aurora.

“It’s wonderful, all of this, a great blessing for our family,” Lola remarked.

“That’s right, my beautiful, and it will grow even more,” she said, caressing Ava’s swollen belly.

“Our third and last child. I know you would have wanted to have many more,” Mateo said, chuckling at the thought of more children.

“When I found you in the middle of the road, I never imagined you would become the love of my life. You looked so fragile and defenseless. At first, I felt the need to protect you. I never thought I would fall in love with you like this. I doubted I could deserve such a beautiful woman.”

He said with a deep sigh.

Ava was about to reply, but they were interrupted by little Matt, who was running towards them, followed by Máx, who was struggling to catch up. His short legs didn’t allow him to go much further.

“Mamma, papa, help!” he cried out as he kept running.

Máx caught the little one, turned him around, and began tickling his tummy. The boy tried to escape while laughing.

“This little rascal will pay for this.”

“No, no, hahaha!”

“What happened?” Ava asked, amused.

“Your son dared to stand in front of me and ask for my Alessia’s hand.”

Hahaha!” Mateo and Ava burst into laughter.

“It’s not funny. You’ll see when it happens to you with little Sophia,” Mateo replied very seriously, imagining the scenario and disliking it completely.

“Look at how red you’ve turned just thinking about it, Licciardi! Hahaha,” Máx laughed, amused by his friend’s reaction.

Morgana approached with Alessia, who, upon getting close to little Mateo, ran to hug him. The little boy had a satisfied look on his face and a big smile as he turned to Máx.

“See, Uncle Máx? She loves me.”

Alessia also glanced at her father while giving a kiss on little Matt’s cheek.

“Hahaha!” Everyone laughed at the children’s antics.

Ima and Akiro watched the scene with amusement. They had decided to wait a while before having children, enjoying each other before taking on the responsibilities of parenthood. But now they were excited about the arrival of their baby. They had learned to love children and soon their own would be running around mischievously. They were a very close-knit couple and remained loyal to their friends.

Máx and Morgana also felt like part of this big family. The redhead had stopped working to dedicate herself to her children and home, visiting Akiro’s club occasionally.

Máx had partnered with Mateo, who had given him the opportunity to buy a small portion of shares in his company. He no longer worked as a chauffeur or bodyguard, having his own office in the corporate world. This allowed him to provide a better life for his family.

Morgana had taken some time to adapt to her new life, but she was willing to do anything for Máx.

Camila divided her time between studying and taking care of her son. Lola helped her with childcare so that she could achieve her goal of moving forward. She knew that Tadeo would be proud of her, and she missed him dearly. However, her son had helped her endure his absence.

They all gathered frequently, and their friends were willing to support each other no matter what. More than friends, they were like siblings. Life had ensured that it would be this way.

They spent a pleasant day together, enjoying the children’s antics and listening to Lola and Aurora’s stories.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

In the evening, the friends bid farewell. Ava and Mateo left the little ones at home with their grandmothers. Lola was also called “grandma,” and it made her very happy. She was more than a nanny to Ava; she loved her as if she were her mother because she had earned that place. Ava remembered her parents fondly and held them in a special place in her heart.

The couple occasionally escaped for some alone time, to enjoy each other’s company. They needed those moments of peace that only they could give each other.

“I’m the happiest woman in the world.”

“And I’m the happiest man in the entire universe.”

“How quickly time passes. Before we know it, we’ll be surrounded by grandchildren.”

“It would be wonderful to reach that day. Can you imagine how big our family will be by then? I hope we are allowed to see it, our little grandchildren running around the garden, just like our children do now.”

“You know, when I returned from Switzerland and saw you at the airport, you caught my attention. I recognized your scent, your voice, but I wasn’t sure it was you until Tadeo mentioned your name. That’s when I realized I had underestimated my imagination of you. In that moment, you seemed like the most handsome man in the world to me.”

“Did I ‘seem’ like that, or am I not anymore?”

“No, you fool, you still are to me.”

“And to me, you are still the most beautiful woman in the entire world. I’m happy and grateful for you, for our children, for everything. That day at the airport when I saw you, you left me breathless. I approached you because I recognized a little bit of Ava in Greece, which is why I was observing you so closely. But when I realized you could see and that your eyes were brown, that tiny glimmer of hope in me faded. Also, the color of your hair, the way you dressed, and your makeup made you look different. You know, I felt confused and like I was betraying you.”

“Let’s not dwell on sad things, we are together now and will be until we are allowed, my love for you is eternal,” Mateo said as he hugged her from behind on the porch swing of their mansion, with a beautiful starry sky above them.

Occasionally, they would escape to Akiro’s club, where Ava would enjoy the games that Mateo was used to playing. She focused on the pleasure and sensations he brought her. After all, that was just their way, a game that allowed them to fully enjoy each other.

She had come to realize that it wasn’t what she initially thought, and that everything happened with her consent. When he tied her up, his behavior changed, and he cared about making her feel and enjoy herself. There was no pain, only pleasure.

Ava rested her head on his shoulder, loving the feeling of being close to him and breathing in his pleasant scent. Suddenly, she felt the baby move vigorously inside her.

“I’m sure this little one will be a football player,” Ava said, placing Mateo’s hand on her belly.

“And a very strong one,” Mateo exclaimed, amazed by the movements.

He leaned in and kissed her. The night was long, and they intended to make the most of it. They entered their bedroom, but that night they didn’t have sex. Mateo made love to her tenderly and calmly. They had plenty of time to enjoy each other. The universe had rewarded them for all their suffering. Whatever happened, they would be together, in good times and bad, in joy and sadness. They only wanted their happiness to last for as long as life allowed, and they hoped it would be a long time.

For Mateo, Ava would always be the reason for his existence, the balance that kept him sane. She believed that he had saved her, but the truth was that she had saved him. She had given meaning to his life and became a light in his darkness. They didn’t know what destiny held for them.

They fondly remembered Tadeo, who had given his life so that Ava could keep living. That’s why he would always be present in their son’s life. Little Tadeo would grow up surrounded by the love of many people.

And so, everyone would continue with their lives, seeking happiness despite the past pain.
