The Truth of Ace

Sixteen

Madeline Rossi

The final button to my dress clasped together as I stood in the mirror. My hair was in a soft bun updo as everyone was dressed in black tie dress attire "where the hell even is this, if we are going to city hall like this.... We might be overdoing it"

"You think I'd have you two get married at city hall? Your love of literature did spark an idea for me and the groom" I looked at her confused

"They emptied out the entire Harold Washington library for the both of you" she said it so casually like it was no big deal

"What!" She nodded with a proud smile and I hugged her "Sloan that's insane!"

"Very beautiful venue, well done" Todd applauded as I stepped back as they all stared at me. A knock at the door came and I smiled

"Those are my extended guests on the list?"

"Lila you have to be careful people cannot know your wareabouts!" Sloan scolded along with my mother "what I'd they find you and him before and-" the door opened and the sounds of heels clacked against the floor

"YOU INVITED THEM?" Sloan said in a loud whisper and I nodded

Aces four sisters entered the room staring at me almost in awe "wow you look so elegant"

"Like a Princess!" Adeline squealed

They were all dressed with smiles "I think forgiveness is something important" I began to explain "and I know Ace would want his sisters to be there on his wedding day, I already sent Miles and Evander his way. Adonis helped me out"

"Thank you, for doing this" Cadenza took my hand as her eyes welled with tears "my brother deserves happiness, you are that happiness... he'd do anything for you Madeline, I knew it all those years ago" those last words left everyone confused

"He told you about me?"

"His charade to find you? He claimed you never meant to happen, that he never meant to fall in love with you. I knew you were her and Ace wasn't being so open. I was once closest with him you know" she smiled at me "so thank you"

"Thank you all for being here, it means so much" Sienna smiled going behind me and laying out my train "it's absolutely stunning, do you have a photographer... someone must capture you"

Todd snapped his fingers and a group came in starting to take photos of me "now we must get to the library and we will take further photos inside the event before Aces arrival and then prepare you before you walk down. Someone give me the vail!"

The vails train was been longer than the one on my dress, I really felt like a princess. I don't think I would ever really need a big wedding someday. Because I am surrounded by loved ones, in a beautiful dress at a beautiful place to celebrate me and Ace. Everything I needed was here

I felt a pit in my stomach as we pulled up to the library. Few paparazzi were there "why are they here?" Todd stared out the window

"I don't know, but I'll deal with it. I'll get out of the car alone and then you guys use the other entrance" I nodded

"Just gonna say I'm scouting the scene for a future show?"
