OLIVIA“I don’t understand,” I whispered, darting my eyes between Axel and Damien. “Why would she leave? Where did she go?”“Olivia—‘’“—She can’t just leave,” I cried, suddenly gasping for breath. “What happened? Why…? What…?”I lost all my words, unsure of what to do, what to say, or how to react. Axel gripped me tightly, his hands steadying my shoulders after I swayed.How could Isabella, someone I was having a conversation with minutes ago, suddenly… leave?It wasn’t making any sense.Axel’s hands tightened around my waist, steadying me as I began to sob uncontrollably. “She said she loved you,” he murmured. “And… she…”“Why didn’t you stop her?” I asked through the tears, my lips trembling. “Why did you let her leave?”“Olivia, I tried my best to talk to her. To stop her. But her mind was made up.‘’“She promised to walk me down the aisle,” I sobbed, trying to break free from his grasp. “She… she can’t leave me. What about Mum? What about…?”Damien turned around and walked out o

AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI“Have you heard anything from Isabella?”I’d heard that question repeatedly in the last few weeks, but I’d never expected it to come from my brother.Without looking up from my table, I shook my head. “No. Why?”He paced around the council room, his footsteps disrupting the peace I tried to keep in that space.“How could she just leave?”He asked like he didn’t know the reason. Maybe he wanted to shift the blame on everything other than himself.I shrugged. “Why don’t you tell me?”“Salvatore,” he stopped pacing and I felt his eyes on me. “You’re not taking this seriously.”I sighed tiredly, pushed the documents aside, then raised my head to him. His forehead was creased, and I refused to believe that he was actually worried about her whereabouts.“What exactly do you want me to do, Damien?”His expression faltered for a second before turning rigid again.“Elizabeth and Olivia have been crying their eyes out, worried sick about her, and I…” he paused before contin

OLIVIA “I think the strawberry cake is a good choice, Red.” Marina said after taking a piece from the cake, her mouth full as she handed me a slice. I sat tiredly on the couch, slowly taking a bite. Seconds passed by and I said nothing, still chewing. Marina narrowed her eyes at me, waiting for a response that came almost a minute later. “No.” I said bluntly, barely tasting the cake in my mouth. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t the right choice either. “No?” I pushed my body forward and dropped the plate on the table, forcing the cake I’d eaten down my throat. “Axel doesn’t like strawberries.” The event planner nodded quietly, and Marina uttered. “Ohh.” “Let’s do something else, Freda,” I told the event planner Marina had recommended. “Chocolate and salted caramel. It’s my fiancé’s favorite.” Freda nodded without hesitation, a small smile curling over her lips. “Sure.” I groaned softly and reclined my back against the couch. My heart was still heavy, and the though

The last of us.

OLIVIA“You’re looking extremely beautiful.”That was the first thing Mum said to me after she saw me in my wedding dress. She stood by the doorway, slowly walking in with an adorable expression.I turned around to face her, brushing my fingers over the lacey fabric.“Really?” I asked, staring at the dress again.I hadn’t thought too much about the dress, but Axel had said it was the best out of everything Freda brought.So, I’d chosen to wear it. Not just because he’d chosen it, but because I could picture Isabella’s reaction if she’d been there to see it.It was an off-the-shoulders mermaid dress. A lacey fabric that had a little cut out at the back, and straight sleeves completely made out of lace and covered in pearls.It was a corset around my waist, hugging my body perfectly. My hair was neatly folded in a bridal slick weave, and wrapped in a bun with two curly strands framing my face.I didn’t want any make-up, but Marina said a little touch up wouldn’t hurt. My veil hung at th

The beginning of forever.

AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI The moment the cathedral doors opened, I turned my attention to it, staring at waiting for her to walk in. She did. Slowly, carefully, walking towards me like an angel that had escaped heaven to be with an imperfect human like me. I’d braced myself for this moment, waited patiently, prepared to see her in that… dress, but nothing prepared me for that breathtaking sight. Elizabeth smiled as she walked her down the aisle and towards me. I felt the strong urge to approach her and take the veil off, but waited patiently instead. A couple more minutes… and she would be mine without anything stopping me from doing whatever I wanted. Just thinking about having her in my arms, in my sight, everywhere around me forever—it made my heart full, and my lips curled into the deepest smile that had ever been there. I stretched my hand forward and led her towards the altar with me, grinning widely like a child that had been given his favorite toy. Standing a few feet away
