"Eleanor, what do you think about this color." Lola ask Ava's mother, showing her the samples in her her. Eleanor look from the album to what Lola is showing her, They have been sitting there for almost an hour still trying to choose a color for the wedding reception theme.The color Lola points is white, it's indeed beautiful with the decorations in the photo. But Eleanor knew her daughter well enough, She remembers how Ava won't stop talking about how her wedding day will be. What designs and color she would use, how she was going to wear a Tira to make her look like a princess.

VincenzoVincenzo sat on the head of the table with his men and employees, They were discussing about a new project. Vincenzo has many companies in different countries, but he still wants more, not to help himself. Yeah, he will benefit from it, but his main aim for building companies is to help the growing rate of unemployed youths.It sour to the eyeswatching a learned person driving a cab or working as waiters in some hotel and restaurant, when they have to pass through great deal just to earn a degree but still end up with a shitty job. Vincenzo had went to college despite him been a Mafia leader and have his own company, he experience the hardship of graduating from a university. So he knows not to just sit back and watch graduates suffering without doing anything, yet everyone just thought of him as a greedy and power seeking man when in fact he was just helping others. He let people judge and criticize him, calling him names but he didn't react. They don't understand him, no o

Ava p.o.vI woke up with a dull ache wrap around my waist, I double over in pain when I try sitting up. The pain only last a few seconds disappearing back to its dull ache, I groan when I realized it's was my time of the month.I hate it when it's just show up unexpectedly, my menstruation cycle is always irregular. it doesn't have a particular day to it, it infuriates me too much, the only good thing is that I don't have cramps but there's always this dull ache that lingered around my lower back. It's only hurts when I'm stressed or sitted for too long, and it's makes me feel weak, I dare not stand more than a minute.I crawl to the edge of the bed, I stood up groggily. I held my head in my hand feeling a bit dizzy, after my head clear and my blurry vision adjusted to the bright light in the room. I made a move in the direction of the bathroom, I needs to wash this stinky blood off me and look around for a pad. I don't know why I think there would be a pad in a male bathroom, not jus

Ava p.o.v"So what's the deal with you and Dante" I asked Kara, We are now in the mall, walking around in the wedding gown section looking for a Gown. I honestly have no interest in finding a Gown, so I just let both my Mom and to be Mom do the shopping since they are more excited than I am, like they were the ones getting married."That fucking bastard." I gave her the stink eye which she didn't notice because she was busy glaring at the gown in her hand, as if it is Dante. "Remember Valarie from yesterday?" She faced me, yeah I do remember her but what's with her and them.I gave her a curt nod."The thing is she had a crush on Dante since childhood, like when we were ten but that butt head of a brother didn't acknowledge her feelings neither reciprocate her feelings." She hissed irritated. "I know for a fact that he feels something for her but he just won't admit it."I kind of guessed that, but why won't Dante love her back, she seems to me like a nice girl."She has decided to gi

Ava p.o.vMy nerves are shot to bit. I don't know why. I know I'm doing the right thing, doing this, I'm protecting my family, but damn I'm nerve-racking.I'm alone, my first silent and reflective moment of the day so far and probably the last. I've been waiting for this tiny snippet of time, begging for it in between the chaos around me.I needed this moment to myself alone, absorbing the massive leap that I'm taking trying to gather myself together. Moment like this will likely be precious from today forward.It's my wedding day.The day I promise myself to this man for the rest of my life. The day my surname will be changed forever, the day I becomes his wife.I sighed and look at my reflection in the large shiny mirror, everyone said I look gorgeous in this white wedding dress. I'm dressed in the most beautiful wedding dress I've ever seen, any other bride will be all over the moon wearing this dress.Don't get me wrong, I'm happy wearing it but not as excited. All I see in the mi
