the light in his dark

Part 69

I never really dreamed about my wedding.

In my head I knew I would never get married or would be in love with a woman. I promised myself I would never put myself nor any other woman in this situation

But now I look at myself. Standing, waiting for her to walk to me

Travis is standing beside me in his new suit for the occasion. He gives me a nod and we both look at the door who just opened

As I turn my gaze from Travis to the door I spot Marina in the front waiting nervously for her daughters to walk down this alley

Lila and Matteo are smiling at each other proudly making me feel bad about what we're gonna do

My father look right at me in a working mode as my mother wait patiently ready to take out a tissu to dry her tears

I take a breath and look back at the people who walk toward us

Kellie walks to the altar in a pink dress and flowers in her hands. She looks at us and smiles nodding her head

She blushes when she looks at Travis probably because of a wink or some shit like that

I stop breathing when she walks in her white dress following by two of my guard. Her blonde hair fall down her shoulders and her tears along her cheeks make me grin

Her step are small and unsure but with my bodyguards behind her she doesn't have any choice but to keep taking step toward me

Her eyes meet mine and she cries harder than before

I see from the corner of my eyes Marina turning her head toward us but I don't dare turning my eyes away from her.

It doesn't happen everyday and I want to have those memories forever in my mind to remember myself that I love Wendy more than ever and that I'll do anything to keep her safe

I won't need any remind on that point but I want to remember the images of this event

She stops her step in the middle of the alley and her eyes suddenly widen. Her mouth open but before she can says anything, blood slides out of her mouth. She struggles to breathe and she falls on the floor not only ten seconds after stopping walking

People gasps

People screams

People looks at her before looking around panicking

Here I go

"Wendy" I scream running toward her

Marina is walking to Kellie and Travis follows quickly behind me. My knees fall on the ground beside her body and my hands find automatically their way to her wound

"Stay with me, Wendy" I say keeping my calm "you can't let me. You lived worst than that. You can't let go"

My men ask to the guest to walk out of here and let us space and let space for the ambulance who will soon arrive

I rest her on her stomach so I can press more pressure on her bullet wound in her back. Travis is beside me throwing orders to people around us and speaks to me even if all I can hear is absolutely nothing

"Please" I whisper "don't leave me for this"

My head snaps toward the door as they suddenly open. My eyes narrow as Samantha walks throught the door. Her cruel laugh is the only noise who is heard inside the big and now empty place

"Let see what we have here" She laughs walking toward us

My men point their gun toward her and wait for my order to shoot her
