"Does she know?" Avah asked Devin making him stop. He looked straight ahead and thought about what she had just asked before turning to look at her.

"You haven't told her" Avah said so surely.

Devin walked back towards her and put his hand on his mouth before dragging it down to his chin. He smiled and looked at Avah, "She knows but to clarify, it's none of your fucking business" He said.

"Why are you being so rude? It was a simple question" Avah frowned.

"What the fuck is the point of you even being here?" Devin raised his voice. "I fucked up! I didn't think you'd marry, especially not her because I thought you'd always love me" Avah said before pushing herself onto him to kiss him but he was quick to push her away before she could even reach him.

"What? Like you don't need closure?" Avah frowned.

"I don't know what kind of fucked of games you want to play or have been playing ever since we dated but I'm not into that shit anymore which is why I moved on, she doesn't treat me like her fucking toy. There's no closure needed from my part. Now make us both a huge favor and get the fuck out of here Avah" Devin said.

"Is that really what you want?" Avah asked.

"Did you not listen to what I said a few seconds ago, get the fuck out of here!" Devin said so angry and walked away.

"Where's Devin?" Liam asked Mallory who had made her first stop to the bar in the entire night. She had asked for a sex on the beach after seeing Noelle's drink.

"No fucking clue" Mallory shrugged.

"You seem upset? Are you upset?" Liam asked. "I'm wearing a five hundred thousand dollar couture dress designed uniquely for me and a ring that's half a million dollars, do I have something to be upset about?" Mallory said.

"By the way you just answered I'm guessing you are upset" Liam nodded.

"Of course I'm upset! My husband left far away from the party to speak to his ex girlfriend and hasn't returned" Mallory said looking around at her guest.

"Mallory it's not Liam's fault" Noelle said to Mallory. Mallory looked at both of them, "I'm sorry" Mallory said.

Liam put his arm around Mallory to pull her in for a one arm hug. "He respects you, I know him. And if he doesn't we'll just have to kick his ass" Liam smiled.

Devin walked towards them but Mallory was to busy looking down at her drink. "Hey" Devin said to Liam and Noelle before getting ready to speak to Mallory.

"Excuse me, can I have a dance with my daughter?" Roman interrupted them.

Mallory didn't answer and was quick to grab her father's hand and take him to dance floor.

"She saw you and Avah" Liam said to Devin. "Nothing happened" Devin immediately answered.

During what remained of the night Mallory spoke to Devin as if nothing had happened. When every single one of their guest was gone Mallory stepped into her home with Noelle who was going to be driven to her apartment by Liam but was going to help Mallory change first.

"What are you going to wear?" Noelle asked when Mallory stepped out of her wedding gown. Mallory walked over to a rack that had her clothes and unzipped the dust bag that had her black Alex perry dress.

She let her hair down that looked wavy due to it being up in a bun. She grabbed a makeup remover wipe and cleaned her face. She put on her heels and walked out with Noelle who went up to her bedroom for clothes.
