“I knew you guys would come, I told the girls but none of them believed me.” Abigail said.

“Is that why you wore this dress, huh?” I teased.

“The one I specifically told you not to wear.” She blushed and I cocked a brow at her.

“That is not safe, sweetheart. Someone could have fucked with you before I got here, you know that, right?” 

“But they didn't.” She tilted her head, smiling.

Drinks started pouring in and everyone went crazy, the night was a blur. At some point, we were at the bar waiting on drinks. I turned my head and spotted my brother heavy a heated conversation with some guy while Lucy stood in between them, trying to calm him down.

“What is going on?” Abigail asked, noticing it as well when it got more intense and I shrugged.

“The guy probably looked at him for too long or something.”

Suddenly the guy's girlfriend appeared and shoved my brother back then Lucy got in front, ignoring my brother's attempt to calm her down as she shouted at the girl and got in her face. The girl's friends appeared and got in Lucy’s face and coincidentally so did Sonia who started dealing with her. Another guy got involved and Nicolas was right there with him, a crazy look in his eyes as he held a bottle of whiskey in his hand, drunk out of his mind. Edith stood in front of Lucy and Sonia, trying to calm them down while Damien dealt with Nicolas and my brother.

“Here, sweetheart, let me deal with this.” I handed Abigail my drink to hold and led her over, making sure to stand in front of her as we made our way through the large group. I stood in front of my brother and the guy he was dealing with, them being the reason this all started.

As I tried de-escalating the situation, a small body was shoved into me and Abigail's frightened voice apologized. I looked behind me at the guy my brother was arguing with who was glaring at my girl.

“Get the fuck out of my way, bitch.” He said and everyone froze, the ground went quiet and their eyes fell on me.

I looked down at Abigail whose eyes were filling up with tears, I smiled and shook my head in disappointment before looking at the dickhead who caused the tears.

“You just really had to do that, didn't you?” I asked, seeing red.

“Yes, I did. What the hell are you going to do about it?” He asked, Nicolas laughed.

“You made the biggest mistake of your life, buddy.”

And just like that, all hell broke loose.


“Fúck,” I mumbled and rubbed my head, feeling a migraine coming as I sat on a dirty bench in a jail cell downtown next to my brother, Damien and Nicolas who was knocked out and laying on my lap with a drool coming out of his mouth. My brother was next to me, holding Nicolas’s legs in his lap as he glanced in front of us at the bitches who started this shit back at the club last night. Well, the bitches friends, he was in the hospital because he got it the worst.

A policeman appeared at the door with Alec behind him. I sighed in relief, looking at the clock, five hours until the wedding.

“Come on,” Alec said.

“What about the girls?” I asked, wanting to see Abigail before we would all get ready.

“Agnes is getting them, let's go. You ain't seeing her till she is walking down the aisle.”

We all got up, Nicolas struggling a little bit since he was the most fucked up last night and made our way out the door and to the car. Shit, this is really happening. I am getting married.

Abigail POV.

It is the day of my wedding, our wedding. And I woke up in a fucking jails cell with my bridesmaids. Each of us earned an earful from Agnes when she bailed us out and began driving us to the city where we would be getting ready in a penthouse beside the venue. Alec was getting the boys in the meantime and I wanted to see Rodrigo and make sure he was alright after the brawl broke out last night in the club. We looked bad but they looked worse.

“Hurry up, let's go.” Agnes ushered us, waving us out of the car in front of the building so that she could go park. Sonia, Edith and Lucy followed me into the building, the four of us still in our outfits from last night with ripped hair and ruined makeup.

“We rushed to the elevator, anxiously waiting as it rose up to the top floor. I took the key to our room out and pressed it against the door, pushing it open. We all headed toward the master bedroom to see our dresses hanging from the clothing rack and our jewelry all laid out for us.

I took a deep breath as I looked around, feeling teary-eyed as the girls hugged me from behind. This is really happening. We are getting married. A fourth dress sat just before mine on the clothing rack, half the size of the rest and belongings to my little flower girl who looked up from her book on the bed and a smile appeared on her face.

“Mummy!” She said, I crouched down as she hopped off the head and walked towards me while the girls dispersed to their rooms to get ready.

“Where were you?” She asked curiously.

“Don't you worry about that,” I smiled. Sonia made a scoffing sound from down the hall that elicited a light chuckle from me. 

After quickly showering, washing my body thoroughly and hair as well, I sat at the vanity in the room and began getting ready. Agnes joined us soon after with food which we devoured within minutes. While Joy continued to read her book, I did her hair as I did mine and Agnes was placing hot rollers into my hair. As I was finishing twisting another piece of joy's hair into the bun I had made on top of her head, my hand began to shake. The longer it didn't stop, the more aggravated I got. I dropped her hair and put my hands in my lap, taking a deep breath. Aghea wrapped an arm around me.

“It is okay to be nervous, darling. Take a minute, I will finish up her hair.”

I nodded and stood up, waking into the bathroom and standing above the sink with my eyes closed, trying to focus on my breathing. There were so many thoughts in my head, so many worries and doubts that were coming from a place that didn't truly exist. What if he changes his mind? What if I get there only to find out he is gone and abandon me? What if everything goes wrong and what is supposed to be the day of my life turns out to be one of my worst?
