CHAPTER THIRTEEN || IMANI

It's Wedding day

"You look stunning babes" Aliana says kissing my cheek. I look at myself in the mirror and smile. As much as I don't want this wedding to happen. I do look beautiful.

"So, plan?" she speaks up sitting down on a stool next to my vanity.

"We get married, get in the limo on the way to the plane for the honeymoon, I get the gun from my garter, and bam."

"Shoot him and run." I say mimicking a gun with my hands.

"Good girl" Aliana laughs as she gets up to do some finishing touches.

We had come up with that plan last night, I was really hoping I wouldn't have to execute it and would just have Gabriel there to do it for me. But there's no sign of him. No plane, no one staying in their Reim vacation house. Nothing.

Anthony knocks on my door frame, "It's time baby sis" he says before walking off.

"Its now or never babe." Aliana says helping me up.
"You got this" she whispers into my ear.

But I tone her out.

And a bunch of what-if's enter my head. What if Gabriel doesn't come? What if Max tries something else? What if I dissapoint my dad. Thats not even a question I know in some way I will without knowing.

Me and Aliana start our trek towards the wedding area. It is beautiful, there are white roses ligning the aisles and crystals everywhere. Theres a flower arch at the end of the aisle were the officiant and Max stand. Well.. Max kind hovers over the crutches.

"My gourgeous, gourgeous girl" my dad says walking up from a hallway. Aliana steps off to the side and kisses me on the cheek before heading to the venue to take a seat.

"When did she get here?" he questions his eyes following her until she sits down. He loops his arms around mine and we stare ahead at the closed glass doors.

"They day you told me, you legit saw her yesterday."

"We had a little bachelorette party since I wasnt told the wedding was really going on." I smile at him but he just frowns.

"Don't try anything, and trust me it won't turn out well for you" he snarks. This man.

"Why do you want me to marry him daddy?" I question as I feel the tears start to form.

"Money, were broke" he says.

"Your a girl you were gonna get married off anyway, you have no authority over this decision. So I decide you shut the fuck up, put the ring on your finger, make dinner and have the babies." He tightens his grip around my arm causing me to whince in pain a bit.

The wedding anthem starts to play.

The glass doors open and the guests stand up to look in my direction.

The oo's and aww's fill the room as we start to walk.

This wasn't the fairytaile wedding I wished for as a kid. Where my dad walked me down the aisle with tears in his eyes, my mother siting the front row waiting to give me away, my brothers being my future husbands groomsmen, Aliana being my maid of honor. And the love of my life at the end of the aisle. Where we would go old togheter, have kids, spend our bank accounts spoiling our grandbabies.

But the man at the end of this asile is a rapist, an abuser, a person who took my baby away from me. Caused me so much emotional, physical, and mental pain. And he wont affect me ever again.

Suddenly, my dads weight drops causing me to fall to the ground halfway down the aisle.

"Daddy" I shake his body and I assess him. He had one bullet hole in his leg.

He wont talk back.

"Daddy!" I scream and shake his body more. Then gunshots ring out.

I stay low, hanging onto my dad's body for dear life.

I look to my left at Max and right as I do a bullet is placed in his forehead. Causing blood to splatter all over his white suit. His body thuds to the ground but I have no sympathy for him.

I fell somebody pull me and its Aliana she was on the floor inbetween the rows of chairs.

"Let's go!!" she yells past the gunfire.

I take one look at my dads body and start to crawl away. But he squeezes my ankle

And lets go.

I crawl away from him and down one of the aisles of benches and run down the side if the house.

A fleet of cars are parked up front.

Me and Aliana wait there knowing who's cars they are.

Minutes later gunfire stops and people run out the house and someone grabs my wrist.

"Gabriel" I cry. He lifts me up spinning me around.

"I'm never letting you go again my love."
