Heartless Heart

Chapter 93

Bella

"Bella, don't you dare not spend time with us after marrying and after the baby gets born," Alice said. "Don't worry, I'm going to spend a lot of time with you girls."
"That's good," Clare said.
I hear my phone ring. I picked it up.
"Hey, Alex."
"Hey, my angel."
"Where are you?"
"I'm on my way to the airport."
"Why?"
"Because I'm going to pick up my uncle."
"Oh, are you in a taxi?"
"No, I'm with the girls, in Alice's car."
"Alright, my angel," he said. "Where are you going after you pick your uncle up?"
"Well, I need to know first where he wants to stay."
"He can stay with us, my angel."
"It's fine, he can stay in my apartment."
"My angel, he can just stay with us, plus then you can spend time with him."
Aww, such a sweetie. I love it when he is like this.
"Alright," she said while giggling. "But are you sure you want him to stay in your house?"
I don't want him to feel forced to have an uncle in his house.
"Yes, my angel."
"Thank you, sweetheart," I said.
"Alright, bye," I said. "Bye."
I put my phone back into the pouch
We arrived at the airport. Alice parked the car. We all got out. We walked toward the airport door.
"I'm actually so excited to see him," Alice said. "Me too," Clare said. "Sadly, it's been a while," Ava said. "Yes, I miss the time when we all were young and played in the garden while Uncle was in the kitchen making snacks," I said. "That was one of the best times of our lives," Ava said.
"I agree," Clare said.
I saw Uncle.
Oh, I miss him so much. I quickly ran to him. I hugged him tightly. He hugged me back. "Bella," he said happily while we were still hugging. We both backed back. "How are you, uncle?" I asked him. "I'm fine, what about you, dear?" He asked. "I'm fine too."
"How was your trip?"
"It was exhausting," he said with a smile. "Oh, I understand."
"Girls," he said happily while looking behind me at the girls. I turned around. "Uncle Alfred," Alice said happily. "Hey, Uncle Alfred," Ava said. "We missed you a lot, Uncle Alfred," Clare said.
They also call him uncle since he used to be a lot with us and play a lot with us when we were younger. "How are you, girls?" He asked with a smile. "We're fine," Clare said.
"Good," he said. I looked at them with a smile. "Where is Olivia?" He asked. "She is studying in London," I said. "Oh," he said.
"Let's go to the car," I said. "Mhm," he said. I took his bag. "Dear, I can take it," he said and looked at me. "It's fine, uncle."
"I can take it, you are pregnant," Alice said as she started to walk toward me. I smiled at her.  "Alright, thank you."
She smiled back. She grabbed my bag. We walked out. We went to her car.
Alice went to the trunk. She put the bag in it. Uncle went to the front seat. He got in. Ava and Clare got in the back seat.
"Bella," Alice said while walking to me. I stood by the car door. "Yes?" I asked while looking at her. "Do you want to drive?" She asked. "It's the same for me," I said. "Well, Uncle Alfred is sitting in the front seat so I thought you want to sit with him, but I can drive if you don't want to," she said. "It's okay, I can sit in the back seat," I said.
"Alright."
She got into the car. I did too.
Ava sat beside the window and Clare sat in the middle. Alice started to drive. "Uncle, my fiancé invited you to his house, he wants you to stay with us," I said.
"That's kind of him, dear."
"Mhm."
"I'm excited to see him," he said. I giggled. "Uncle Alfred, don't you have a birthday in two weeks?" Alice asked. "Oh, you guys remember," he said happily while chuckling. "Of course, we do uncle," I said.
"Well, how old are you turning?" Ava asked. "69, I'm getting old girls."
"No, you are still young uncle," I said while giggling. He chuckled. "Alice, can you drop us off at Alex's house?" I asked. "Of course," she said while focusing on the road. I told her the address. We arrived. "You can drop us here, thanks Alice," I said. "Bye," she said with a smile.
"Bye," I said with a smile.
We got out. I walked to the trunk. I grabbed the bag.
"Dear, let me take the bag."
"Uncle, it's fine, I can drive it to the house, that's not heavy at all," I said to him. "No, no, let me take it."
He grabbed it from me. "Alright," I said. Alice drove away. We walked up to the gate. Some of Alex's men stood there. "Hey, can you open?" I asked him. "Yes, ma'am," he said. They know that I'm Alex's fiancé. That's why they didn't ask questions.
They opened the gate. We walked in. "That's a big house, dear."
I giggled. We walked to the door. I clicked on the doorbell.
The door opened. "Hey," Uncle said.
"Hey," Alex said. "Welcome in," Alex said as he went to the side. Uncle walked in. I followed him while looking at Alex with a smile.
He smiled back. I looked away. My uncle turned around and looked at Alex. Alex closed the door.
He turned around and looked at my Uncle. "Alfred," he said and took out his hand. Alex grabbed his hand and shook it. "Alex."
They let go of each other.
"What about we sit down?" I asked as I looked at the couch. "Sure, dear," he said. He placed his bag beside the door. We walked to the couch. We sat down.
I sat between Alex and Alfred. "So how old are you?" He asked Alex. Alex looked at him. "I'm twenty-six."
"Mhm, how did you and Bella meet?"
Looks like Uncle wants to know our story.
Alex looked at me. I quickly looked at him. Alex smirked. Alex looked at my uncle again. "We met each other at work."
"Interesting."
Uncle looked at me and then at Alex again. "So are you ready to be a dad?" He asked. "Yes, I'm ready."
"Good."
"What about you, dear?"
He looked at me.
"I'm ready, uncle."
"That's good," he said with a smile.
"I can't believe my little dear is going to be a mom," he said sounding sad and happy.
I smiled at him. "You guys need to take care of each other and the baby," Alfred said while looking at us. "I will take very good care of them," Alex said. Uncle looked at Alex as he nodded. He looked away. "What's the name of the dog?" He asked while he looked at Max that is standing beside the TV looking at my uncle. "Max," Alex said while looking at Max.
"Hey, Max," Uncle said. Max barked. Uncle laughed. Uncle looked at Alex. "Thank you for letting me stay here," Uncle said. Alex nodded. "Uncle, do you want to rest?" I asked him. "Yes, I had a long trip."
"I can show you your room," Alex said while looking at him. Uncle looked at Alex and nodded. They stood up. "I will get my bag first," Uncle said as he walked toward the door. "I can take it," Alex said walking faster toward the door. Alex is such a sweetie. I don't understand why he hides this side of himself.
"Oh, thank you," Uncle said and stopped. Alex walked to the bag. He grabbed it. We walked upstairs.
I took my phone.
Me: Girls, the wedding starts soon, I'm going to the salon and get ready.
Ava: We can meet there.
Clare: We should also get ready.
Alice: Yes.
Me: Great, see you guys then.
I put my phone in my pocket. Alex walked downstairs and toward me. I looked at him.
"Alex, the wedding starts in some hours, I'm so excited," I said happily. He sat beside me.
He looks like he has zoomed out.
"Alex?"
He looked at me. "Are you okay?"
"Bella, can I ask you something?"
"Of course, you can."
He cleaned his throat. "Did something happen to you when you were younger?"
I looked at him confusingly. Why is he asking me this?
"What?"
"Like, are you struggling with something at a young age?"
What the heck? Why is he asking these questions? I don't even want to talk about it. I don't want to remember it at all. I had an awful time.
"Alex, I was talking about that the wedding is starting in a few hours, aren't you excited?"
"I am excited, but tell me, Bella."
Can't he understand I don't want to talk about it?
"Well, we should get ready," I said as I quickly got up. He grabbed my arm and pushed me down again.
"Bella."
"Alex, we need to get ready," I said.
"Answer."
"Alex, stop it, we need to go."
"No, answer."
I tried to get out of his grip. "Alex, let go of me."
"What happened, Bella?"
"It's none of your business, let go of me," I said angrily. He has nothing with it to do, and he can't ask me this.
"Bella—"
"Let go of me," I said angrily.
"Please, tell me."
"No, stop it."
"But why?"
"Because it's none of your business."
My voice loudened.
He grabbed me by my waist and sat me on his lap. "Bella, what's going on?"
"Alex, let go of me."
"Can I know what happened?"
"No!"
Why does he keep asking?
"Stop asking," I said as my eyes filled with tears. "Why are you even bringing it up?" I asked.
"I'm..."
"I'm sorry, Bella, I wanted to know so I wouldn't say something that will remind you of it."
"Oh, but asking about it won't remind me, right?"
"Bella..."
"Let go of me, Alex."
My eyes filled more with tears. "You need to tell me."
A single tear ran down my cheek. "Bella."
"Why did you remind me of this, Alex?" I asked painfully looking down. He quickly pushed me into a hug.
I hugged him back tightly. I hate that time. It was one of the worst experiences in my entire life.
"Don't cry, I'm so sorry."
"I..."
"You what, sweetheart?" He asked stroking my hair gently. "After mom and dad died in front of me, I struggled with a lot of things, Alex..."
"I even wanted to take my own—"
"Shh," he said stroking my hair.
I wasn't only struggling with one thing, but a lot of things.
I buried my head into his chest. "Bella..."
"I love you a lot," he said. I hugged him even tighter. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know you went through that."
I slowly backed back and looked at him. He placed his hands on my cheeks. He wiped away my tears. "I love you."
I smiled. "I love you too," I said.
"Now, let's get ready for the wedding," he said. I nodded as I got up.
"I will go to the salon and get ready there," I said. "Alright, my angel," he said. I walked upstairs.
I walked to my uncle's room. I knocked on the door. "Come in," he said. I opened the door slowly. "Oh hey, dear."
He put the book he was reading on the table beside him. "Uncle, I will go to the salon and get ready, we will see each other at 6 when the wedding starts."
"Alright, dear."
I closed the door. I went to Alex's room. I took the bag that had the wedding dress in it. I took my heels and put them in the bag. I grabbed earrings and a necklace. I walked out. I walked toward the stairs.
Alex came. He looked at me. I looked at him with a smile and walked downstairs. I went to the door. I stood there waiting for him.
He came downstairs holding a bag.
He took his keys that were in the drawer beside the door.
"Let's go," he said while looking at me. I smiled. I opened the door and walked toward the car. He followed me. We got into the car. We put our bags in the backseat. He started to drive to the salon.
I looked out the window. Oh, I really didn't want to talk about this the day I got married. These memories ruin my days.
Alex put his hand on my tight. I looked at it and then at him.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes."
"Are you sad because of the talk we had earlier?"
"Alex, let's not talk about it anymore."
"Alright, my angel, I'm sorry," he said as he kept focusing on the road.
I bent forward toward him. I kissed him on the cheek. "Don't be," I said as I sat back. He strokes me tight.
We arrived.
"Well, see you later then," I said while giggling and looking at him. He looked straight. He then looked at me with a smile. "Are you okay?" I asked while I stopped smiling.
"I am, my angel."
"Are you sure?" I asked and put my hand on his cheek. I stroke it. "Mhm," he said. "Good," I said with a soft smile. I took away my hand. I grabbed my bag from the backseat. I took it and put it on my lap. I looked at him. "I don't think I will see you before the wedding," I said. He sighed. "I can't wait for that long," he said. I giggled.
"It's not that long," I said while giggling. He smirked. "I need to go now," I said. "Alright, call me if something happens," he said. I kissed him on the lips. He kissed her back. "Alright," I said. I got out of the car. He drove away.
I walked to the door. The girls stood by the door. "Hey," I said. "Hey," Alice said.
"Let's go," Ava said. I nodded. We got in. "I will go and change," I said. "We will too," Clare said. I got into a bathroom. I changed into the dress. I took on the heels. I took on long earrings and a beautiful necklace.
I walked out to the lady. Alice is there too. "Wow, you look so beautiful," she said. "Thank you, you look lovely too," I said with a smile. She giggled. "Ma'am, you can sit here so I can do your hair and makeup," the lady said. I nodded and walked to her. She started to do my hair. Ava and Clare came out of the bathroom. They sat on a couch beside Alice.
"Bella, you are the princess herself," Clare said. "Thank you, sweetheart."
The lady was done. She took my hair in a beautiful bun. She put a flower on it. I took on my long vail. It's white like the dress. "Now your makeup," she said. She started doing it. "Bella, I love your hair," Clare said. "Thank you, I love it too," I said while giggling. She was done. It looks so beautiful. "Well, I'm done," she said.
"Thank you," I said. I stood up. "Wow," the girls said. I giggled. "Thanks, girls," I said.
"Well, now it's time!" Alice shouted happily. "Yes!" I shouted happily. They stood up. "Ma'am," I heard a guy say from behind me. I turned around. He is looking at me. "Yes?" I asked. "I'm going to drive you and the girls to the hall, Alex sent me."
Aww. My gentleman sent him to get us. "Oh, alright, we are ready," I said. He nodded. I turned around and looked at the girls. "Let's go," I said. "Mhm," Clare said. We walked out to a black limo.
The driver opened the door. I looked at him. "Thank you," I said. I got in. The girls did too. The guy got in too. He drove.
"I'm so excited!" I shouted happily. "Us too!" Ava shouted happily. We all giggled.
"I can't wait to see how handsome Alex is."
"Focus on how he is going to look at you while you walk down the aisle," Alice said. "I'm going to get so many butterflies, I just know it," I said as I giggled.
"I wish Olivia could be here though," I said. "Yes," Clare said.
We arrived. The guy opened the door. Ava got out first then Alice. Clare got out after her. I got out too.
He closed the door. "Let's go in," Ava said. We got in slowly. "Everyone is in the hall, are you ready to go soon?"
"Can one of you go and find my uncle?" I asked.
"He will walk me down the aisle," I said. "I can do that," Ava said. "But wait," I said. They all looked at me. "Which one of you is going to be the maid of honor and the witness?" I asked. "I can if you guys want to," Clare said.
"Sure," I said happily. "I'm going now," Ava said. "Mhm, thank you."
"This will be so fun," Alice said happily. "Yes," I said happily. Uncle and Ava came.
"Oh dear, you look beautiful."
"Thank you, uncle."
"So uncle, you are going to walk me down the hall, right?" I asked. "Of course," he said happily. I smiled.
"Well, everybody should be here by now, the wedding starts in a few minutes," I said. "Mhm," Uncle said. "I will go and check what is going on in the hall," he said. I nodded. He got into the hall. Oh, I'm so nervous, but so happy at the same time. I will finally marry the love of my life. Bella relax. He came back. "It's time," he said. "We should go," Ava said. "Yes, we're waiting for you guys in the hall," Clare said. They got into the hall. "Are you ready?" He asked me. "Yes," I said nervously.
"Everything will be alright, don't be nervous," he said. I smiled and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back. We walked toward the door. Uncle wrapped his arm around mine. I looked at him with a smile and wrapped my arm around his. They opened the door. A lot of people are sitting on the side. My handsome fiancé stood at the end of the hall. On the side of him, there are the bridesmaids and a young girl with flowers. On the other side, there are the groomsmen. Behind Alex is the officiant.
Me and uncle started slowly walking down the hall. Classic music started. Everyone is looking. Alex is looking at me in a very hot way. We arrived.
Me and uncle stood in front of Alex.
Alex looks nervous. "Take your bride," my uncle whispered to Alex. Alex looked away from my uncle and to me. He let go of me. Alex took my hand. I grabbed his hand. We held each other's hands while standing beside each other. Uncle started to clap. Everyone did too.

He went and sat down. The officiant came from behind us. "Please face each other as you declare these vows to one another," he said. Me and Alex turned toward each other so we were facing each other still holding hands.
The officiant faced Alex.
"Do you Alex Belinskij take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to live together in matrimony, to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, to have and to hold, from this day forward, as long as you both shall live?" He asked Alex. It's silent here. "I do," he said while facing me. I smiled. My heart started to beat faster. Everyone started to clap.
"Do you Bella Keen, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to live together in matrimony, to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, to have and to hold, from this day forward, as long as you both shall live?" He asked me. "I do," I said. Alex smiled. They all clapped.
The officiant took the wedding book. "You may sign here," he said to Alex. Alex signed. The officiant faced me. "You may sign here," he said. I did it. "The witnesses need to sign too," he said. Clare and George came. Oh, Alex wanted George to be the witness, that's cute. "You can write here," he said to George. George signed. "You can sign here," he said to Clare. Clare signed. Everyone clapped. The officiant gave me the book. I took it.
"You guys are already wearing the rings," he said. "You are officially married," he said. I can't believe that Alex is finally my husband. "You may now kiss the bride," he said while facing Alex. Alex came closer to me. He kissed me. I kissed him back. Everyone started clapping. We slowly backed back.
The flower girl came to me. "Here are your flowers," she said. "Oh, thank you so much," I said with a smile. She smiled and walked away. They are so beautiful. The music started playing. I put my book and the flower on the table. "Guys, go and dance," Ava whispered. I looked at her. "Oh, right," I said. I looked at Alex. He is already looking at me. We walked to the dance floor. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He had his around my waist. We started to dance slowly.
"Finally, you are my wife," he said. I giggled. "Finally, you are my husband," I said.
He smirked. "I'm the happiest man in the world now."
I giggled. "I'm so happy too, Alex."
"And also our baby is on the way," he said happily. "Yes," I said happily. "My life can't get better," he said. I'm so happy Alex is happy. I giggled. "I love you so much, Alex."
"I love you, my angel."
"You look very beautiful, you look exactly like an angel."
I got butterflies in my stomach. "Thank you, Alex, you look very handsome."
He smirked.
"Listen to the song," he said.
Oh, darling all of the city lights. Never shine as bright as your eyes.
"Your eyes..."
"Your eyes shine more than the city's lights and even more than the sun," he said. I blushed at his words. "And you shine my heart, Alex."
"No, you do, my heart shines every time I see you," he said.
I giggled.
The song stopped. People stood up and walked to the dance floor.
Me and Alex let go of each other. The girls came to me. "Congratulations!" They all shouted happily. "Thank you, girls," I said happily. "We need to take pictures," Ava said. "Yes," I said. "Alex, let's take pictures," I said. He turned around and looked at me.
"Alright."
We walked to where they took pictures. The girls came and stood beside me. Alex is standing beside me on the other side.
The boys came. "Boys, join," Alex said.
They stood by Alex's side. We took a few pictures.
We were done. "Now, only the bride and the groom," Clare said. They all backed back. Alex wrapped his arm around my waist. They took pictures.
I kissed him on the cheek while taking pictures.
"Now me and the girls," I said. They giggled as they ran toward me. Alex went to the boys looking at us. Ava stood beside me, and Clare was beside my other side. Alice is standing beside Clare. They took pictures.
"Now the boys," I said as me and the girls backed back.
They went and stood beside each other. They started taking pictures. "You guys look so serious," Alice said. "I agree," I said. "Boys, smile," Ava said.
"We're fine," Alex said. I giggled while looking at him.
They were done taking pictures.
