Husband With Benefits
Chapter 395: A Gathering

Chapter 395: A Gathering

"Hey! Are you planning a wedding or a mass murder?" Isabella asked playfully, her eyes twinkling mischievously as she took a delicate sip of her wine.

Evana and Olivia burst into laughter, their giggles harmonizing in agreement with Isabella’s jest. Nora, standing before the mirror, couldn’t help but join in the amusement. A confident grin adorned her face as she glanced at the mirror, admiring the long slit on her dress that seductively reached up to her hip, effortlessly enhancing the illusion of her endlessly long legs.

"What mass murder? I’m just plotting to slay my husband with desire when he lays eyes on me," Nora replied, her voice filled with a teasing charm.

Evana, shaking her head in mock disapproval, chimed in, "You’re planning to exchange vows in a church in that dress? And then have your husband harboring impure thoughts about you? If that’s not enough, when others catch a glimpse, Demon is going to massacre everyone and end up in jail. What on earth were you thinking when you picked that killer dress?"

Nora’s grin widened, and she playfully shook her head, "Oh, this is not the wedding dress. This is the Honeymoon dress."

"Whoa! In that case, it’s fabulous. Bella officially approves of Nora darling’s choice," Isabella declared with a wink.

Evana, still entertained by Nora’s bold choice, nodded in agreement but couldn’t resist adding, "While we absolutely adore the dress, sweetheart, we’re not here for the honeymoon details. Spill the beans on the wedding dress. I can’t believe you’ve kept it a secret until now. Come on, reveal the masterpiece that you’ve chosen for the big day."

"No more suspense! Nora, show us the wedding dress," Isabella urged as well, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

But Nora shrugged," I think I might repeat the dress from my last time. Demetri had quite liked that dress."

Evana and Olivia looked on in confusion while Isabella’s eyes widened," You looked too beautiful in that dress but how can you..." And then another question popped up into her head," What do you mean he’d liked that? He was there?"

"Yup. He came to confirm that I did not really marry Antonio..."

Isabella giggled at that and reminded her," Well, you better not be wearing that dress. Come on. Stop building up the suspense."

Nora chuckled at Isabella’s insistence and decided to end the suspense. "Alright, alright. No more delays. I’ll reveal the wedding dress," she declared, disappearing into the trial room.

As the anticipation built, Isabella, Evana, and Olivia exchanged curious glances. Isabella couldn’t help but muse, "If Demetri was at that wedding, what did he plan to do if you said ’I do’ to Antonio?"

"I have no idea. Carry me away probably."

Olivia shook her head and answered," Oh babe, if you said ’I do’ he would have killed Toni first, made sure you were a widow and then taken you away. I know you think you probably punished Antonio that day but you saved his life."

"Don’t say that! I’ll end up regretting that choice. Gosh! You have no idea how thankful I am that he is not here anymore and chose to study abroad.

Moments later, Nora stepped out, and the room fell silent in awe. The wedding dress she wore was nothing short of a masterpiece. Adorned with intricate lace, delicate flowers, and shimmering diamonds that caught the light in the most enchanting way, the gown seemed to transform with every step Nora took. And while it looked white on the surface, there were undertones of blue there carved into the flowers...

Isabella was the first to break the silence, "Nora, that dress is absolutely breathtaking! Who’s the designer? I need their number for my imaginary future wedding!"

Nora murmured something under her breath about not being too into the future that Isabella did not catch, before she answered," Too bad, bella baby. This dress is designed by my husband."

Isabella and Evana both gasped as they heard this," Is there anything that man cannot do?"

Olivia grinned at their reaction and added her two cents," Why do you think he was called the Demon?"

"For his personality?" Evana pointed out as if that was the obvious answer but Olivia shook her head, "Uh huh. That too but mainly because that man is a fiend. He only has to see things once to learn them. There is nothing he cannot do. There were people who refused to participate in competitions becuase he was there in it and he never made mistakes."

Nora’s grin widened as she heard that but could not resist adding," Well, he did make a mistake this time."

The three girls turned to look at Nora who was grinning like a cheshire cat and Isabella could not help but ask," What did you do?"

"I made a small change to his design."

Evana, Isabella and Olivia exchanged glances at that," Well, this is interesting. So, what is this change?"

Slowly, Nora turned around to show the back of the dress. As expected it was as beautifull designed as the rest of the dress... but there were almost a million tiny pea-sized buttons at the back instead of a zip...

"Holy shi* Nora! You’re going to have to start getting into the dress a day in advance to close all those tiny buttons in time for the ceremony."

"Nora darling, how can you torture your man like that? Aren’t you worried that he will tear the dress apart."

Nora shook her head and grinned," Nah! I believe in keeping things interesting. He’s going to have to take his time... if he dares to ruin my dress..."

"Leave it to you to torture Demon. Good thing, I think. It will keep him grounded." Olivia toasted.

Isabella raised her own glass as she winked, "Demetri may be The Demon, but you’re the real mischief-maker here, Nora. W emight have to send a collective prayer for Demetri Frost."

Nora chuckled at that and shrugged happily. She didn’t care if he was Demon or not. What mattered was that he was hers... Forever.
