Once Bitten, Twice Destroyed [COMPLETE]

• CHAPTER FIFTY •

Paige

"So we're not gonna talk about the fact that I cheated on you with your enemy and in the process lost his child? We're not gonna talk about how you cheated on me with eight women? Or about how you held a gun against my head? What about how you allowed your dad to humiliate me?" I angrily asked Luciano and Dario.

"We're talking right now, aren't we?" Luciano asked in annoyance.

"You're not the men that I fell in love with." I said blankly.

"You're not the girl that we fell in love with either." Dario said blankly. "But that doesn't mean we don't love you anymore." He said and I clenched my jaw.

"We can still do this. We can still build a life without anyone else's opinions about us." Luciano said slowly and I sucked in a deep breath before nodding.

One month later

I sucked in a deep breath before linking my arm with my dad's and walking down the isle. Dario and Luciano smiled at me and so did the priest as I stopped in front of them.

I was wearing a dress that I couldn't afford and shoes that I could barely walk in. The moment that we've all been anticipating is finally here.

I caught a glimpse of the scowl on Mr Marroquín's face while his wife was smiling at me. I spaced out for a while as I took in my surroundings.

"Speak now or forever hold your peace." The priest said and I finally snapped out of my trance, I heard a few gasps coming from the crowd so I turned around in a swift movement.

Viktor was pointing his gun at me and he kept coming closer and closer. He took the safety off of his gun before pressing it into my skull.

And as I expected the bullet to hit me a loud shot went off and blood splattered all over my dress.

Viktor's blood.

I gasped before backing away from him and his body slumped to the ground. I shook my head when I saw Vera standing in the middle of the isle with a gun in her hand.

Vera?

How? Why did she do that? Why would she kill her brother? Why would she ruin her life to save mine?

My breathing was rapid as I tried to wrap my head around what had just happened. I pushed Luciano and Dario away from me as they tried to comfort me.

"I can't marry you!" I said loudly and the church dawned in silence.
"It's not a coincidence that someone died on our wedding day or that your father hates me. This isn't what I want out of life. You're not what I want." I said honestly.

"Are you fucking serious?" Luciano asked angrily.

"I'm sorry. I will always love you but we are over in every way possible. I deserve to be in a healthy relationship, because I know my worth." I said before walking away from them and I felt the crowds eyes resting on me like cheap perfume.

I took my veil off before tossing it aside and going outside. I breathed in deeply before kicking my shoes off. The image of Viktor's dead body was still stuck in my thoughts.

I ran to a tiny coffee shop across the street before ordering a blueberry muffin.

"On the house honey." The waitress said softly and I thanked her. I smiled before biting into my muffin.

"Do you have any clothes I can wear, like merch?" I asked desperately and the girl nodded before taking me into the back. She handed me a brown t-shirt and some black shorts so I thanked her before stripping out of my blood covered wedding gown.

I pulled the comfy clothes on before picking up my wedding dress and leaving the shop. I walked down to the beach before sitting on the sand and breathing in the salty air.

I breathed out in relief when Kendal and Kenny sat down next to me before silently placing their heads on my shoulders and I smiled softly.

I can finally breathe again.
Because this is exactly where I am supposed to be.
My life was so different before I met Dario, Luciano, and Viktor. I was just a normal girl with a normal life.

Nobody will ever love me the way that they loved me and that is exactly how I want it to be. Love isn't supposed to hurt. I know that now, because I was once bitten and twice destroyed.

The End.

That's a wrap. Sorry not sorry, I'd like to start normalizing healthy relationships even if it is fictional or with oneself. That's the shit we need to start fantasizing about.

Know your worth.
