Chapter 40.
“They thought you wouldn't believe me. — Account. “And if you heard it from Annie herself, and saw the scan that says the twins aren't Dylan's, then you'd believe it.
— I can not cry. I took another deep breath. "Did you tell him about the twins?" — I ask.
“No, he thinks the father is Petter. — He speaks.
"Are you saying that Dylan is the father of your children?" Annie appeared beside the car.
She wore a pink party dress, had makeup on and her hair was loose.
— What do you do here? — I ask.
If Petter saw her here, he'd be fucked.
“I need to fix what I've broken. — He speaks. “You need to know the whole truth.
“It's late, Annie. — I say. “I can't leave Petter.
— Yes, you can, Ayza. “Lili was trying to prove me wrong.
"How much time do we have before the ceremony?" Annie was restless.
“About twenty minutes, I think. — Lily speaks.
— Listen to me Ayza. Annie asks. “Just listen to me. I just nodded, unable to speak. — Lisa and Diego are Diogo's children, he was the one who hired me to seduce Dylan and take all his money, and in the meantime, Digo and I fell in love, but he changed, and a lot. Just deciding to tell you the truth because he died in a car accident the day before the twins were born. — Account. “While we were in NY, he was a sweetheart. After the money ran out, he started to get aggressive and even hit me. He changed from water to wine. — Tears began to flow from her eyes. “He even tried to kill me as soon as the money ran out. When Diego tried to kill me, I entered a protection program in NY. Incredibly, the owner of the house I stayed in was my mother. The last name was similar, and we had the same birthmark on the back, anyway. We came here together, to start over. But I found out I was pregnant, and Diogo found me here and kept threatening me to go after Dylan, to get more money. He threatened to kill his children, do you know how much I feared for the lives of my little ones?! That's why I had to make your life hell. — She talks on a thread. — Pardon me.
"You ruined my life!"
"I'm sorry, Ayza ." — She asks. — Please! “She couldn't stop crying.
“I can't blame you. Now being a mother, I would do the same thing for my little ones. — I speak and run my hands over my belly, imagining what it would be like when the two were born.
“Here's the test result, it proves the twins aren't Dylan's kids. Annie hands me the paper. "Damn it, Ayza, he loves you!" — She screams.
" Ayza, come!" Tina yells and starts walking towards us.
“Go Annie, her brother can't know you were here. — Lili says pushing her behind the car.
— He loves you Ayza, never forget that. Annie whispers.
“Why are you still here? — Tina asks suspiciously.
“ Ayza is sick. — Lili lies.
"Must be nervousness." — Tina speaks and Lili fanned me. "Come on, I'll help you."

The decor was beautiful, just as I had imagined.
My cousin was waiting for me at the entrance to the first hall.
“How beautiful you are, cousin.
— Thanks, cousin. He kisses me on the forehead and extends his arm.
— Ready? — Question.
— Yes!
"You know you don't have to do that, right?"
"Everyone decided to tell me that today!"
“I'm your cousin, and I know you love Dylan.
“Please, cousin. — I ask.
“If you want to drop all that and go after him, just let me know.
“Brian, I… I
“You just tell me. — Insist. “I just want to see you and my cousins happy.
He began to play the wedding march.
— Are you ready?! — Julia asks all smiling.
My cousin stares at me.
— Yes I am. — I try not to shake my voice.
The hall door opens. I notice that the bridesmaids and groomsmen had already entered, Petter is all smiles, he wears a navy blue suit.
We start walking slowly, this gives me time to observe the guests. There were about 30 guests, most of whom were Petter's friends.
He was in the second row, tears streaming down his face, at that moment I didn't pay attention to anyone but him, Dylan.
" He loves you." "The twins aren't his."
" He loves you." "The twins aren't his."
" He loves you." "The twins aren't his."
" He loves you." "The twins aren't his."
"He loves you." "The twins are not his."
Annie's words didn't get out of my head, they just repeated themselves making me sick.
" Ayza, cousin?" Cousin? — My father called me as he kissed my forehead.
— Thanks. — Only then did he shake hands and give Petter my hand.
His smile didn't let the joy he was feeling deceive him.
The justice of the peace began the ceremony.
“We are gathered here today, to bring about the union of Petterson Mayer and Ayza Parker.
The judge started the ceremony, there was a moment when I completely disconnected. Only Annie's words stuck in my head.
"He loves you, Ayza, never forget that."
" He loves you." "The twins aren't his."
"He loves you." " ...never forget that."
"You can take your vows." — The judge speaks.
I forgot to do this. Damn it!
— I begin. — Petter says all smiles.
When I look, he had the microphone in his hands.
“— In front of the King I want to thank... — Yes, Petter sings. — For receiving you here today and consecrating our union in him… It was God who sent you to me, so that we might continue together until the end, praised, thank you, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah… My soul lit up, the whole world was reborn, my heart now lives in peace… and not even the most beautiful songs, poems, psalms, and prayers… reflect what I feel, hallelujah… Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah… I see the sky I see the sea I see the night and the moonlight, I see how great your love is... I see the day break and I want to thank you so much... — He ends up looking straight into my eyes. — And that's why I sing hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
— I love you, Ayza.
I was already crying my eyes out. One bit for emotion, the other bit for Dylan, I couldn't leave Petter like that.
I look directly at Dylan who has his head down and Annie is saying something in his ear.
And most of the guests were also crying.
“Peter… I, I…
— You do not need to say anything. — He smiled.
