Her Secret

4|Kiss Your Bride

Elianna's POV

Here came the day which I dreaded for.

I sit here in a room full of people working on my hair and makeup.

I didn't know who they were or where I was. All I knew is that some man brought me here and they all just appeared.

Apparently we were getting married at a cathedral.

Yes, put a bunch of murders and criminals in the church to watch us get married.

"Ma'am, do you like it?" One of them asked me as she turned the chair to face the mirror.

I smiled when I saw myself.

My makeup was beautiful. They didn't put on too much to make me look scary. They used just the right amount.

My long, smooth black hair was neatly curled and I loved it.

I always kept my hair straight so I look different now.

I nodded my head. "Yes."

She smiled back. "Perfect! Let's get you in your dress now, okay?"

I nodded before standing up and stepping into my dress.

They quickly laced up my dress and fixed any parts that needed to be adjusted.

I am not going to lie, I looked really nice; although this is not the dress I wanted.

"Why did he want me to wear this dress?" I asked one of them and they all looked at each other.

"We cannot answer your question, ma'am."

I figured they wouldn't know but it was worth the try.

"Do you know if I have any bridesmaids?" I asked eagerly.

Maybe he wanted to surprise me and bring in my friends.

"I am afraid you don't, ma'am."

The bright light in my eyes quickly dimmed. "Oh."

A knock was heard on the door and one of them went to answer it while I continued looking at myself.

I glided my hands along my waist. It was too tight.

I told him it would be.

"Mamma mia!" papa and Haze both exclaimed at the door.

I turned to them and opened my arms with a smile.

They took no time before coming to hug me.

They were still on bad terms but they united once it came to me.

"You look very beautiful. I wish your mother was here to see you," papa said.

I frowned. "Don't make me cry, papa."

"Every bride cries at her wedding," Haze joked. "Are you sure you still want to go through with this?"

I nodded. "Yes Haze, I'm excited to get married. I'm ready to start a family with him!"

No, I am absolutely not!

He hugged me again. "I can't believe my sister is getting married."

I hugged him back tightly. "It's your wedding next."

He laughed nervously. "Don't say that."

He was afraid.

"Excuse me ma'am, would you like to wear the jewelry Mr. Mariano gave you?" one of the ladies asked.

Haze smiled. "He gave you jewellery? You have to wear it! He sounds like a good guy."

I faked a smile. "I guess I should wear them then."
