The wedding ended, and everyone went. The reality of things was only clear to Vida when she was made to ride with Axel in the same car and make their way to his house. She had never been and she was surprised to see how sophisticated everything in there was. She could not lie; everything about the mansion was breathtaking, and she was glad to be able to experience something as beautiful as that. She was almost complimenting his choice, but she kept her words to herself. She wanted to make sure that she did not initiate a conversation with him, especially when it was not needed.

They stepped into the house, and Axel was ready to introduce her to the staff that worked in the house, even though she thought that she should be resting. She followed him to the kitchen, and her eyes caught sight of Maria.

"Maria?" she asked, rooted in place by the shock that overwhelmed her. "What are you doing here?" she asked, looking back and forth at Maria and then Axel.

    Vida drove slowly to Axel's house, and after she got there, she sat in her car in the parking area for a while before she decided to make it inside. She knew that Axel was not in the house but yet she did not want to go in. Her phone chimed, and she took a look at the text from her friend saying they were about to take off. She felt her heart tug a bit. She was truly happy that they were returning to their lives and making all of the decisions for themselves, but she could not help but feel left behind by the situation. She sighed and sent a reply before tossing the phone into her bag and leaving the car for the house.She walked into the house, wondering what she was going to do with her time while she was living there. She had already decided to give business school a chance, but before she could begin with that, she wondered what she was going to do while she sat at home. Maybe she could continue working on her fashion business until she got her act together.She stood by the door

    Vida got to her father's house and from the gates, she could feel some kind of warm feeling overwhelm her. She did not even feel this way when she had left for the States; it felt like she was never going to come back to the house at this rate. She had no idea what she was supposed to do with the building. She knew for a fact that after she was done with the marriage with Axel, she planned to return to the life she was building in the States, and the promise of her ex from the other day made her sure of her decision to return. She did not want to start worrying about what she was going to do with the mansion yet.She walked to the living room to see that all of them had their bags ready and packed. "Leaving already?" Vida asked as she strolled in. They had not discussed their departure date, but she knew that they did not have the kind of luxury that she had. They all had to get back to work and their busy schedules, so keeping them there was not going to work, but still she felt a bi

    "I guess you are right," Vida said, and Axel almost jumped in the air that she had been convinced. He knew that if she had been adamant about staying alone, there was really nothing he could do about it. There were still people who loved each other but stayed in separate rooms for privacy's sake, and they could spin that if it ever got out, which he knew it wouldn't."Okay then, I have had the staff put your things in the master's bedroom." he turned and she followed him out to the room. She gasped in awe as they got into the room. Everything in it was truly majestic. More like something for the master of the house. In the middle of the room stood a huge king-sized bed neatly arranged with pillows and a comforter. She saw one door, which she assumed had to be the closet door that would lead to the bathroom. She looked around to take everything in; it was beautifully designed, but there was nothing in it to signify that it belonged to Axel. It was more like all of the decorations were

    Vida had been sure that she would not feel nervous, but here she was, sweating on her palms. The wedding that her friend had planned for her was finally taking shape, and she was grateful for her at least. Maria came into the bride's room, and from the mirror, Vida saw her but immediately diverted her eyes. She was still angry about what she had found out by chance. Who knows what could have gone on between her and her father when she was away? How many more secrets did her father hold from her?"Can you please leave us?" Marai asked these vendors who were working in the room. As if on command, they all stood up, left whatever it was they were doing and left only two of them in the room. "Vida, can we talk?" Maria began walking towards her."About what? Do we have anything to talk about?" Vida asked her words dripping with poison laced in them."Of course we do; it seems you are mad at me and I have no idea what I have done to make you this way," Maria replied, and Vida cleared her th

    Even though Vida had gone against it so many times, her friends were adamant about throwing her a bachelorette party. "It's still your wedding," Gia had commented when Vida refused, and then she just gave in, knowing she was not going to win against the three of them. She promised herself that she was not going to enjoy anything about it; the party was forced on her just like the wedding between her and Axel.The party was all a blur and no matter what her friends did to try and lift her spirits, all she could do was to sulk. Even when Kat had brought in a male stripper, she stood up abruptly and left. "I am in no mood for this," she said, standing up, causing her friends to stand as well. "I am going to get some air," she added and left before anyone could ask her any questions or follow her.She had never thought that her bachelorette party would be this way; she had always imagined herself being so happy about it that she would want to go all out and do all the things brides-to-be
