It's the day of our engagement party, and man was I nervous, I couldn't sleep well for the past three days, and I felt bad for Alexander because he refused to sleep without me, as he said, 'we are in this together, when someone is bothered with something we fix it together', when did he become so romantic,

It is currently 3 in the afternoon, the party starts at 6 which gave us plenty of time to get ready, as the makeup artist and hairdresser set up in my room, I decide to have a shower, I turn on the water making sure the water is cold, I really need this cold shower hopefully it will calm me down a bit, after 10 minutes I get out and grabbing my silk robe, mother walks in as I was doing my skincare,

"Celine, please don't waste time as we have 2 and a half hours to get ready"

"Yes Mother, I'll be out in a minute"

She walks out as I was just finishing it up, first, my hair is getting done, we decided to go with a simple hair out with waves, as the dress I am wearing is emerald green, tight fit with a long slit, stopping at my thigh, it has line straps and heart shape top to compliment my breast, once my hair was done, we moved on to makeup and which of course went with a simple look,

As makeup is done, my mother helped me into my dress as I was in, I go to put on my heels, I went for a classic white, red bottom as I didn't want it to overpower the dress, after placing on earrings and my ring we are ready to go, let the show begin

I held onto father as he was walking me down the stairs, mother and Mary were behind making sure my dress was fine from the back, once we were at the bottom of the stair my eyes locked with Alexander's, lord he looks fine, black suit with an emerald green tie, Naw we are matching cute, he walks closer until he stops in front of me, we stare at each other for a while, I can tell both of our parents grew bored,

"We will meet you inside," Gio says

We didn't answer as we continue to look at each other, Alexander looks perfect, I can't get over that I will marry this man one day, he took one more step closer wrapping his hands around my waist pulling us closer, I bring my arms up to his shoulders, still even with these heels can't reach his height, he pecks me on the lip as I pout in disappointment, wow is all his giving me

"Celine, you look fucking gorgeous and I do not want to ruin your beautiful makeup because  I'm not going to hear the end of it from you mother" we both chuckle "But it's not going to stop me from doing this" he moves closer to my neck as he places kisses all over, the feeling on his kips kissing each and every surface of my neck, licking and kissing, I was in heaven, this man knows what he's doing and I'm loving it,

"Alexander we should stop, before someone sees, and we won't be able to attend our own party" he sighs still in my neck, he kisses it one more time before raising his head, "Well Mrs Russo, shall we head to our party" he brings his arm out for me to loop my arms with, he called me Mrs Russo, I envy this man so much,

Once we were told all the guests have arrived, I have also forgotten about our mission a few seconds ago, great here we go, we walk inside the ballroom, as everyone starts to clap and cheer Alexander and I walk in as the music starts to play, we reach for the dance floor as everyone else decided to join as well, we dance for a couple of hours, as the songs are mixed with classic 80s and 90s, Spanish and Turkish, it was a good way to release all my nerves as I can't afford to lose tonight, the music stops playing as everyone looks at each other, Alexander lets go of my grip as he moves onto the stage, he grabs the mic and starts to speak,

"Ladies and Gentleman, thank you for taking the time to come and celebrate Celine's and I engagement, I have loved Celine for many, many years, she is the reason for me to live, she is my world, she holds my heart and she is the light to my darkness, I love you, Miss Celine Rose, Soon to be Mrs Russo..." everyone starts to laugh in the room "To show my love for you, Celine, I will be performing the Zeybek" (A tradition Turkish dance)

He is not, oh my lord he is, everyone goes back to their seats as I stand in the middle of the dance floor, oh my lord I've seen these at other weddings or tv shows, but I had never practised it, oh lord, the music starts to play as Alexander comes down he starts to walk circles around me placing his arms up as I do the same, this all I know what to do, what kind of Turkish girl doesn't know her traditions, I blame mother,

Halfway through the dance Alexander, gets on his knees as he wipes the floor in front of me, kissing his hand placing it on his forehead, oh my lord I have dreamt of this moment, he actual practice this dance for me I'm speechless, the dance comes to an end, Alexander grabs hold of the side of my face and aims to kiss my forehead then to my lips, everyone is clapping and cheering us on, I'm so proud of Alexander for doing this for me, it's making me fall for him even more, dinner is about to serve as we were advised to go take our seats,

I was halfway done with my meal, as I had to urge to go to the bathroom, "Alexander I'll be back I need to go to the bathroom" 

"I'll come with you"

"It's fine Alexander, I have my dagger on nothing can happen"

Before he could protest, I peck his lips and start to walk towards the bathroom, once I was done doing my business I go to wash my hands, something doesn't feel right, someone else is in here, I remain calm, as I need to focus on my surroundings I grab hold of my dagger as I start to walk to the door, as I was about to open, I felt a pair of hands on my wrist, I quickly react in kicking whoever is behind me, making them fall onto the floor, I look down to see Scar, are you serious he can't be the mole!

"Scar what the fuck do you think you are doing?" 

"I'm sorry Celine" next thing I see black, I was knocked out cold, fuck now I'm in this big mess

I wake up to find blackness again, I believe that I'm blindfolded, my wrist is tied to a chair, these idiots used ropes, I'll get out, I was trained if I was to end up in these types of situations, I hear the door open as I stop moving the ropes trying to escape,

"Scar would you please"

Once Scar removed the blindfolded my eyes adjusted to the lights, once I found my focus I look, OH YOU GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!

"Hello dear cousin"

"Adam"

"Celine"

"Ah Angelo"

Well... great just FUCKING GREAT!
