The news of Charlotte and Roman's upcoming wedding was not long in coming. Charlotte the next day posted on her personal account in social media a photo of the ring she wore on her fingers with written "I Aceepted" in the cap and had him tag. Like Roman posted a picture of Charlotte and had written " she said yes." Friends, fellow fans all wished the couple congratulations. And by the same and all week the wedding preparations had all begun.

This time Charlotte didn't want big ceremonies, reporters, and a lot of guests. She wanted this day to be special for both of them. And to celebrate it only with those who really wanted to be with them in the most beautiful moment of their lives. Some good friends and relatives. And Roman was perfectly in accord with it. And determined to help his future wife with all the wedding arrangements.

And really everything was ready within two months. Stephanie and Hunter showed understanding and gave them a few days off work to prepare whatever they needed. Seth and Becky were next to the,. Of course Becky didn't get too tired after her pregnancy had progressed quite a bit. their wedding days were approaching. And while throughout the preparation of the wedding Charlotte was smiling and happy, as the days of the wedding approached she felt melancholy. Roman wouldn't ask. He knew what was torturing her. He knew it pained her that her father had not come from home to see her for months, it pained her that he had not called to wish them for their engagement. Their wedding was 1 day away. According to custom, roman shouldn't have been with her before their wedding. So he and his friends would stay in a hotel. And Charlotte would stay with her friends. That gave Roman the opportunity to do what he had in mind. With as much courage as he had he gathered up his ego and made his way out of her father's House. He rang the bell, and one of his maids opened the door.

With all his gentleness he asked to see Mr. Ric Flair. The maid bade him pass, and led him into the great living-room. Roman sat down in one of the polythrones and waited. Soon Ric came into the living room. When he saw Roman he squinted.

"What are you doing in my house?"he asked without greeting him. Roman, with respect, rose to his feet, stood before him.

"I didn't mean to bother You, only to talk to you," he said, but Ric showed reluctance to listen.

"I don't want to hear you, yo better go," he said coldly, and turned his back to go.

"Tomorrow I'm marrying your daughter," Roman told him, and Ric stop in his steps.. He turned and looked at him

"And here what are you doing? have you come to ask for dowry or my wish?"Ric asked with cynicism. Roman siged

"I really don't give a shit about your wish and your money. I'm not even here for you, I'm here for your daughter, " Roman said insolently.

"She sent you?"Ric asked while Roman shook his head

"She has no idea that I am here, if she knew that I intended to come to find you she would not leave me," he replied, as he put his hands in his pockets.

"Then?"Ric asked curiously

"I can't bear to see her melancholy. In all the preparations of the wedding she was happy, she laughed as if she were a little girl, but for 3 days now  she is sad, when I ask her what happens she answers that it is the stress that all the brides have before the wedding but I know that it is not that. You may have quarrelled, she may have said she will never speak to you again, but I know very well that she misses you and that, she would like you to be the one who tomorrow afternoon will accompany her to her wedding, to the happiest day of her life," Roman told him, Ric listened cautiously, for a few minutes he remained silent. Then he looked at him.

"So you came all the way here with a risk to throw you out for Charlotte and not to ask me for some money," Ric said incredulously.. Roman shook his head

"Not all men are like that, Ric. I don't give a shit about your millions. I love your daughter. And to see her happy I'll do anything. Not even all the money in the world can buy her smile. I know you're wanted  another one for your daughter's husband, her ex-husband. But are you sure that's what you want for your daughter? don't you want her happy? Propositioning a man who abuses your daughter, physically, mentally sexually?> a man who forced her to have an abortion>? A man who really only wanted from her was your money and not the one who would make her smile?"Roman asked him, and Ric swallowed with difficulty.

"Did.., did he abuse her?"Ric asked. He didn't know. Charlotte had never told him.

"In all ways. I don't know what else I need to do to convince you that I don't want your money, but your daughter. I can't live without her. And I'll do anything to make her smile. To be happy. Because that's my priority and nothing else. I hope you're there tomorrow. Let me see you hold her by the hand and hand her over to me at the church instead of Vince or Hunter. In any case, this is your invitation," Roman told him, and left the invitation on the little table. Ric remained silent..

"I'm sorry to disturb you in your house, Good Day, Ric" he said, and went away..

Ric stepped forward and took the invitation into his own hands. He looked at the time of the date, the place.. He sat down in his chair and began to think of what his future son-in-law had said to him moments ago. He had learned things he didn't know about his daughter. And he had admired Roman's courage, perhaps, and impudence, to go as far as his door to speak to him open, and to tell him that with or without his wish he would marry his daughter.

The next day would be a great day for Charlotte and Roman. And maybe for Roman  a little more.
