Turns out my family kinda love me, or more specifically, they love my about-to-be-wife because they all showed up for us. Even Alec, the guy who avoids gatherings, weddings and commitments like the plague.

They’re all waiting for us on the steps outside the courthouse as we step out the car, and I take Robyn’s hand in mine as we approach them.

She’s still shy around my family, but it’s more to do with the fact that she’s never really known what family should feel like than anything else. At first, I worried it was because of who we are and what we represent, but it’s more of the fact that her parents and brother are assholes who didn’t give a shit about her.

The brother who is still in the fucking wind, though my girl doesn’t know I’m still looking for him. Can’t wait to have a littletalkwith my brother-in-law.

We both decided not to dress up too much for today’s occasion. Me switching out from my hoodie and jeans into a black dress shirt and slacks while Robyn wears the same white dress that she wore the night I first laid eyes on her.

She looks fucking breathtaking.

We approach my family, and I spot Lia standing just off from the group looking like she doesn’t know what to do with herself. Robyn must notice her too, because the tension she had in her shoulders relaxes and I greet everyone with a nod, not wanting to fuck around. I’m more than fucking ready to get in there and make Robyn my wife.

But, of fucking course, before I can do that, Izzy bombards us both with questions.

“Is this really happening? Because I kinda thought this was a joke, or at least I thought it was Enzo just manifesting that shit and hoping for the best. He’s not forcing you into this, right? All you have to do is say the word and I’ll castrate him right now.”

I scowl at her while Robyn laughs and shakes her head. “He’s not forcing me into anything.”

She gives us both a scrutinizing look before backing off and leaning back into Luca where he wraps his arms around her. Dad gives me an approving nod while Marco stands with zero emotion on his face. Jax seems bewildered that this is really happening, and Alec just grins wickedly, probably thinking I’m sending myself off to the slaughter.

I turn to Lia and notice the way she shifts uncomfortably and fidgets with her hands.

“Hey Lia,” I say with a nod, and she gives me a smile.

“Great, now that that's out the way, can we do this?” I’m met with murmurs of agreement before we all make our way inside.

We sign the paperwork first before we both stand in front of Judge Harris, who is trying hard to act like he wouldn’t rather be anywhere else.

The ceremony is quick since we opted not to say our own vows, but the vows we do say pass in a blur, and before I know it, I’m kissing my fuckingwife.

“Mmm. You taste fucking delicious,Mrs. Romano.”

Chapter Forty-One

Robyn

Married.

I’m married.

I have a husband. And not only that, but I’ve also just married into what is probably the most dangerous family in the country.

Though I’m not really worried about that, the Romano’s have more than proved that they would do anything to keep those in their inner circle safe, which somehow automatically included me the moment Enzo laid his eyes on me.

Everyone congratulates us and we all exit the building while Enzo keeps a tight grip on my hand, probably wanting to get out of here as quickly as possible.

“Okay, I’ve got a table booked at Blue Moon,” Alec announces and my husband frowns at him.

“What? Just because I never plan to be in your situation doesn’t mean I can’t do anything nice, and I figured you didn’t think far ahead enough to plan anything after the ceremony, so I decided to book us all a table at the most exclusive restaurant in the city to show my appreciation of this being a courthouse wedding rather than the shit show of their first wedding.” He nods towards Luca and Izzy and they both roll their eyes in unison.

I press a kiss to Enzo’s cheek before breaking off from the group and approaching Lia. She doesn’t know anyone here, so she’s been keeping her distance. The only one in the group that she’s met is Jax, but it’s not like they talked a lot that night at the club since she escaped early.

“Hey,” I say tentatively.

“I’m happy for you babe.” She wraps her arms around me and brings me in for a hug. “Though you do have some explaining to do.”

“I promise I’ll tell you everything after today.”
