110: I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
Third Person‘
Moments later she was summoned and Gustus wasted no more time in offering his arm. They walked
out through the garden and into the forest where a path was lit with fairy lights among the trees. White
rose petals and stems of lavender lined the path. The soft tunes of a classical quartet could be heard
up ahead. When they made it to the edge of the path, the guests surrounding the decorated gazebo
stood up.
In the center of the raised platform, standing proud was Jason, Kai, Ben, and Charlie. Father Kerney
was also there and shiling proudly.
It was a short walk to the guys. Gustus shook hands with each of them before kissing Aurora on her
cheek and letting Jason and Ben grab her hands to help her to the Gazebo. Gustus took his seat next
to Grammy and Tyler.
“Welcome all on this beautiful day as we join in Holy Matrimony the souls and bodies of these five
willing individuals. I will not ask if there are any objections because I am sure everyone wants to attend
the reception in one piece.” Father Kerney started and everyone chuckled lightly.
“Let us begin!”
Father Kerney began with a lovely little speech about love and family. He then blessed all five people
before him and then blessed the rings. They exchanged rings at the priest’s direction and during a
moment of planned silence, the quintuple lit a few special candles in memory of those who could not be
with them today. Finally, Father Kerney made it to the most important part of the ceremony.
“Do you Jason, Charlemagne, Kaiser, and Benedict, take Aurora to be your lawfully wedded wife? To
have and to hold, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. Do you promise to love her, cherish
her, and protect her even after death do you part? Do you promise to be faithful and to treat her with
respect and kindness?” Father Kerney asked.
“I do,” Jason proclaimed loudly.
“I do,” Charlie said sweetly looking into Aurora’s eyes.
“I do!” Kai almost screamed.
“I do,” Ben said taking Aurora’s hand and kissing it softly.
“Do you Aurora take these idiots, Jason, Charlamagne, Kaiser, and Benedict to be your lawfully
wedded husbands? To have and to hold, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. Do you
promise to love them, cherish them, and protect them even after death do you part? Do you promise to
be faithful and to treat them with respect and kindness?” asked Father Kerney.
“I do, I do, I do, I do!” Aurora sang out, a few happy tears escaping her eyes and all four men were
quick to wipe them
away.
“By the power invested to me, by the County of Johnson City, it is my greatest pleasure to pronounce
you men and wife. Kiss your girl already!” Father Kerney said waving his hand in the air. The intimate
crowd erupted in loud cheers and the quartet began playing Hallejuah from the Messiah. Jason wasted
no more time and grabbed Aurora by her hips

and smashed his lips against hers. He left her breathless as always.
Kai stepped into her next and smashed his lips to hers. Charlie was gentler but still claimed dominance
over her now swollen lips.
Ben was the only one who was soft, choosing to leave a feather–light touch when he cupped her face
in his hands and then he kissed her forehead.
All four men now sported diamond–encrusted platinum bands on their left ring finger and Aurora now
sported four extra bands. Her left hand was a shimmering beacon of sparkles now. Some of their
alliances in the audience as well as many of the guards stationed around the gardens never thought
they would see their bosses smile, let alone settle
Father Kerney brought over the embellished marriage license which Jason and Aurora signed followed
by Gustus and Grammy. The updated domestic partnership agreement for Charlie, Kai, and Ben was
already signed a few days ago. Aurora was now Mrs. Aurora O’Donnell, Queen of the Irish–European–
American Mafia. Charlie, Kai, and Ben hyphenated their names to include O’Donnell as well.
They quintuple exited the pavilion and made their way out of the forest and back to the house for more
pictures before they greeted each of the guests. The original wedding was going to have almost two
thousand guests, but they settled for their closest one hundred family, friends, and associates.
Every ten feet there was an armed guard. No expense was spared for the safety of the guests and the
newly married quintuple. Their marriage was the beginning of a new era and prosperity for many
people. Several new investors agreed to partnerships because of this union that Aurora personally
convinced with her charm and knowledge.
The reception was held in the main dining room and was transformed into a proper banquet hall with a
dance floor in the center. The long tables were covered in platinum, gold, and purple table linings with
white roses and lavender centerpieces that had strings of pearls woven throughout the arrangements.
The finest five–course golden China places settings finished the look along with crystal goblets full of
water and servants lined the walls with trays of champagne.
The six–tiered cake sat in the center under a spotlight that had a monogrammed gobo of the O’Donnell Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
emblem. Each tier was a different flavor with buttercream icing and cach level was decorated in
different patterns, jewels, and buttercream flowers, all in white with painted gold leaf. It was beautiful.
The reception was a success. After a lavish five–course meal, the quintuple danced their first dances.
The guys took a spin each with Grammy and Tyler and Gustus each took a spin with Aurora. There
were several speeches and toasts and then the real party started. The band kicked up and played all
the classic party songs.
The lovebirds were enjoying each other and their guests for several hours when one of the guards
came up to Jason and whispered something in his ear.
His face turned fierce and he tapped Kai to follow. They thought Aurora didn’t see them, but she did.
She grabbed Charlie and Ben and followed them out of the reception only to watch them hurriedly
leave in cars.
Charlie ordered another car immediately and they sped off after them.
What was supposed to be the most magical day for everyone was now overshadowed by death and
destruction.
Aurora was still unconscious when they returned to the mansion. Charlie and Ben took her upstairs
while Jason and

Kai went to the party, only to ask everyone to go home. He asked Gustus and the other two mafia
families in
to remain and come with him to this office.
attendance, the Herschel’s and the Domingo.
When the door closed behind all the men, Jason let out a rough sigh.
“We are going to war gentlemen,” Jason said and passed his phone around, showing them the
deplorable crime scene. The pure anger in the room was chilling to the bone. Twenty guards were
beheaded and their heads placed on spikes, their eyes and tongues plucked out. Their bodies were
carved into pieces and placed on the ground to spell out A.U.R.O.R.A. Draco, our friend and closest
confidant, was among them and draped around his neck was the wedding sign that said Mr.’s and Mrs.
O’Donnell and written in blood the name was crossed out and it read ‘Mr. and Mrs. Marco.”
The note left behind was thrown on the table. “Congratulations! It was a wedding to die for. Till death do
you part and that will be soon. Enjoy my gift–DM” Gustus read aloud, “Son of a bastard monkey’s ball
sack.” He cursed. “He is so dead.” All the men in the room agreed instantly.
“The question remains though, how did Dimitry find out about the secret nuptials?” Tyler asked no one
in particular. Jason had a spy in the Russian Mafia who told him there was a plan to attack all the
warehouses and the original wedding simultaneously. They devised a complex plan with multiple dates,
invites, locations etc. and only the selected guests knew the correct information. It was a strategic
nightmare but it was worth it as everything was perfect up until
it wasn’t.
“I know what happened,” Ben said coming into the room. His tablet was in his hand and behind him
was Charlie along with two guards dragging a man with a hood over his head and his hands hung
limply in chains that were connected to a spiked collar around his neck.
The guards dropped the barely conscious man on his knees and he groaned in pain. Ben and Charlie
stood tall next to him. With a nod from Charlie, a guard removed the hood and everyone gasped. His
face was swollen with marks turning purple; he had dried blood on his face from the cut on his cheek
and the broken nose. His left eye was fully shut and his lips were busted in several places.
Nickolas?” Gustus questioned. The anger on his face would have been hot enough to sear steaks, but
deep inside his heart was breaking that his nephew could be the cause of such a horrific crime.
