Paige

The last few days flew by. They were all the same. I received a black rose each morning, and with it a death threat. Viktor is so creative, I've got to hand it to him.

I sighed before slipping into the last wedding gown. I hope my eyes didn't deceive me earlier, when I saw this dress it just grabbed my attention. It's so beautiful, simple, and yet elegant.

Kendal smiled at me as she sat inside the dressing room with me, Kenny was just flipping through the pages of a magazine.

I looked at myself in the mirror and my eyes welled up with tears.

"Paige." Kendal said and when I looked at her she was crying and so was Kenny. "You look stunning." She finished her sentence and I smiled broadly.

"You look just like your mom." Kenny said and I bit back my tears.

"Yeah?" I asked and he nodded before hugging me tightly.

"You're the most beautiful bride I've ever seen and you deserve the whole world." He said and I cried into his shoulder. "She's watching down on us she always is, so wipe your tears away." Kenny said and I nodded before drying my cheeks.

"I love you guys." I said and they joined me in a hug.

"We love you too." They said at the same time and I smiled broadly.

"You truly look like an angel." Kendal said and I smiled.

"I've gotta go show my dad." I said and they both smiled at me. I walked out of the dressing room and my dad got up from the couch.

A soft smile adorned his facial features as he watched me in silence.

"Look at you, princess" He said softly. "Even as the prettiest bride, I'll always see you as my beautiful little girl." He said before placing a kiss on my forehead.

"I love you dad." I said before hugging him tightly. "Thank you." I said and my dad froze.

"For what?" He asked in confusion.

"For showing me what true love is." I said and my dad wrapped his arms around me.

"I am so privileged, kiddo. I take pride in you, you're a godsend. A true gift, I should be thanking you." He said and I felt a knot forming in my throat.

Maybe it's because I don't wanna grow up. Or maybe it's because I want to stay tucked in my dad's safe embrace forever.

But I'm only alive once and I have the chance to marry the loves of my life.

"And I love you too my little flower." My dad said and I smiled softly. Kendal and Kenny came out of the dressing room to join my dad and I in a group hug.

Later that evening we had dinner at Mr and Mrs Marroquín's house. We all sat around a table in the garden. We were laughing and chatting until Mr Marroquín's phone started ringing.

He apologized before getting up and going into his home.

"What was that dogs name again, Kendal?" Kenny asked in wonder. "Killer." He said in realization. "Prettiest husky I've ever seen." He said proudly.

"I had a husky once. But she was so hard to manage, she got hair all over my- well everything. So instead I got myself a little Chihuahua." Mrs Marroquín said and I giggled.

"I want a cat, I think I'll call her misty." I said while smiling in achievement.

"I love cats." Kendal said excitedly.

"Would somebody like to explain to me what this phone call was just about?" We heard Mr Marroquín ask angrily.

"You slept with the enemy?" He asked me and silence dawned upon us. "You slept with Viktor. And got pregnant with his child?" He asked rudely.

"I don't see how that is any of your business." My dad said while glaring at Mr Marroquín but Luciano and Dario kept quiet.

"It is my business when it affects my family name, my business, my reputation, my sons, and my legacy." He said angrily. "You're marrying someone like her?" Mr Marroquín asked his sons in disgust.

"Are you gonna let him talk to me like that?" I asked them and they blankly stared at me.

"Honey-" Mrs Marroquín tried.

"Don't honey me. This idiocy will end right now. The Marroquín's does not waste their time on spoiled goods." He said and my stomach dropped. I got up from the table and walked away from them.

He has no idea what it was like for me. I lost more than anyone else knows. How fucking dare he?

I walked through their house before going outside. I stopped in the parking lot and ran my hand through my hair. I felt someone's arm wrapping around my shoulder.

"You're okay." Kenny said before hugging me tightly. And I saw my dad storming out of the Marroquín's house in anger.

"Let's get out of here." Kendal said angrily so we climbed into my dad's blue Volvo P1800. We drove home in silence and I rested my head on Kenny's shouler.

When we got home Kendal made hot chocolate for everyone before we sat outside on the balcony. I sat next to my dad while drinking my hot chocolate.

"It's so fucking ironic, isn't it?" I asked before sitting upright. "Somebody that kills people is called a murderer. Someone who steals is called a thief, someone who rapes people are called a rapist. Someone who can bare children is called a mother. But what do you call someone who lost their child?" I asked with tears in my eyes.

"Spoiled goods." I said before getting up from my seat and going upstairs to my room. I locked my door behind me before going to sleep.

This will haunt me forever, it will hurt me forever. I can't escape my demons.

What hurt the most was their silence. They didn't say anything, they just watched and listened to their father dragging my name through the mud. They made me feel like I was worthless.
