AlanaWe were now in Ray's red Bugatti on our way to the Dalton Manor to have dinner with them because well, they are going to be my parents in law for one year after all. One Year. If I already got used to seeing Ray every day, how will I get used to never seeing him after a full year?I already like Ray, hell I may even love… NO.No, I can't love anyone, not anymore because I know that at the end of the day, I'm the one who'll be left with her heartbroken, just me.I needed a distraction so I leaned forward and pressed randomly on the screen just so something could start playing and pull me out of my ocean of thoughts."Everything Black" By Unlike Pluto started playing, forcing a smile to be drawn on my face. Ray sure does have a taste in music which gave him a point from my side because this song was planted to its roots in my brain as it was my only enjoyment during the Daniel thing."What's the smile for?" Ray asked, his eyes darting to me for a second

Alana If there was anything I was good at then it was provoking people by my cold and careless act which was my tactic now. "I'm the one who slapped your daughter." I gave her a grin and I could hear both Ray and Nathan trying to hide their chuckles after hearing my response while I could see that Renee and Leonard were surprised by my bluntness. Who could blame them? "And you're not even afraid to say it right to my face?" Dina, that's her name which I didn't figure out from the media but from a friend of Malia's who got us all the info we needed. I only sighed in fake frustration as I leaned against one of the chairs. "I mean why would I be afraid? She wronged me, my fiance and my soon to be brothers in law so… No, I'm not

Raymond I was officially in love with Alana Steel.I love her so much it hurts but like who would I be kidding if I said that I didn't love her, especially after she told me about her and that bastard. Everything has changed ever since because I expected Alana to close herself around me again but on the contrary, she became more comfortable with having me around, the little touches and kisses I gave her. Now of course we delayed the wedding another week because her parents were out of the country plus, the wedding venue wasn't fully prepared yet which brought me to where I am now, watching it after it got fully prepared for our wedding that will happen tomorrow with Alana's hand in mine.

Alana When was the last time I was this nervous? Oh right, never. So why am I this nervous now, it's not like I wasn't expecting some nerves but this was way too much to handle, all of it. "Everyone out!" I yelled, pouring my nerves into the scream as I watched everyone leave the room, the makeup artist, stylist, everyone excluding Malia. I leaned down on the table in front of me as I tried to hold back any tears that might leave my eyes. What is happening? "Alana, talk to me." Malia came and sat down beside me and carefully touched my shoulder, trying to help me go through whatever that was.

Alana "Fucking Married?" Ray asked me angrily but I knew that his anger wasn't directed at me but at his mother and my ex-boyfriend. "Yes, Dina and Daniel are Married. Your mother and my ex." Even saying this made my stomach flip, do they even realise how that sounds because there are at least thirty years difference between them and it's just… "You gotta be kidding me!" Malia said but the fake smile was still on her face as she waved at one of the guests just like we all have been doing for the past hour because we didn't even get to enjoy our wedding ceremony because of the bastard and bitch. "If only I was… Hi." I was going to rant about my ex when a couple stepped closer to us and congratulated us but one thing made me

Alana What a way to start your married life, right? Ray kept ignoring me the whole wedding until we got home and now, we were in our king-sized bed because he didn't want to make his parents suspicious from the beginning of this thing so here we are. He was giving me his back and refused to hear one goddamn word from me and same goes for Nate, it was only Ethan who agreed to hear me out and the moment he did, he completely understood me and excused me but the bastard beside me didn't even listen to me. "I know you are awake, Ray. So just listen to what I have to say." I whispered, knowing very well that he could hear me but he chose to ignore me like he did the whole night.

Raymond Five days later"Listen I know you want to give Alana an out of the ordinary honeymoon but Paris is still one of the best places to do that so just go there." Elliot said in frustration because we had both been trying to find the perfect place for the honeymoon for the past two hours. "Ray… I know that this is no longer fake for you but you also can't do this to yourself, I don't want my best friend to end with a broken heart man." He had a point but I couldn't control the way my heart beat for Alana or the love I felt whenever she was around or even when she was not. I promised her that I'll wait and chase her if I had to and I will do that no matter what it takes and I know that she still need to heal from the damage that Daniel caused an

Alana Thank God Ray agreed to let Ella live with us otherwise I would've taken forever to pack my stuff with my injured knee. "Princess, I'll go see if your brother needs help." Ray said and peaked my lips quickly before he left and I didn’t even have the chance to do anything when my phone started ringing for the millionth time today, all of that because I'll be out of the country for a while. "Alana." I greeted whoever was on the other line but I froze in my place when I heard this person talk. Shit! "Well, it's been a while since I heard the voice of my sister's best friend." His voice was even deeper and almost scarier than last time I heard it, then again, last time I heard it wa

Alana After some tried to kill us when we arrived we decided to lay low for a few days which was of course also the orders of the private investigator and the guarding company Ray hired because and I quote his words. 'I'm not going to risk your life or anyone else's so this is the best option, Princess.' So here I was on the fifth day of this lockdown with Malia sitting beside me as we watched the series Arcane after almost watching every single show we could that's at day, of course, at night I've been getting to know Ray more, his favourite colour, favourite food and more of these things and my heart was opening more and more for him. And it was almost night so Ray should be getting back soon from

Alana Something bad was going to happen. I could feel it.I said that maybe we should keep laying low in France but Ray and everyone else did have a point as well, we still had companies and jobs to take care of, wasn’t that why we got married in the first place?Anyway, my point is that we shouldn’t have come back here yet, here we were standing in front of the Dalton mansion.And by we, I meant Malia, Me, Hayden and Ethan. We were waiting for the gates to open so we could place our stuff and then go to our companies while Ray, Nate and Elliot already went there.“I have a terrible feeling about this.” I announced, only to be met with everyone, excluding Ethan, to give me a look that said they were b
