The bachelorette party- Inessa
A week later, Inessa was getting ready for her bachelorette party at Zariah's house, where Mira was also getting ready. They were having a girls' night, so no boys were allowed. As they put on their makeup and got dressed, Inessa couldn't help but feel excited for the night ahead.
However, her excitement was dampened when Megan showed up. Inessa had complained to Zariah about Megan being a "pick me" and annoying, and it seemed like Megan was living up to that reputation. She kept interrupting their conversations and trying to make everything about herself.
Inessa tried her best to ignore Megan's behavior and focus on having a good time with her friends. They started off with some drinks and appetizers before heading out to a club. Inessa was glad to be able to let loose and dance the night away with her friends.
As the night went on, Inessa found herself getting increasingly annoyed with Megan's behavior. She kept trying to take over the playlist and was constantly talking over everyone else. Inessa couldn't help but think that maybe she shouldn't have invited Megan in the first place.
Despite Megan's presence, Inessa was determined to have a good time. She laughed and danced with her friends, enjoying the moment and forgetting about all the drama in her life.
As the night came to an end and they all piled into an Uber, Inessa couldn't help but feel grateful for her friends. They had been there for her through all the ups and downs of her life, and she knew that they would always have her back.
She leaned her head against the window and smiled, feeling content and happy. She knew that her wedding was in two days, she couldn't deny that she was nervous about it but she knew it would be alright.
Bachelor party -Vincent
Vincent stumbled through the door of his house, the sounds of the party trailing behind him. He had just had his bachelor party, and it was everything he thought it would be. Elijah had hired a stripper, Treyvon had bought enough alcohol to fill a swimming pool, and they were all drunk off their asses.
He fumbled in his pocket for his phone and managed to find it, swaying slightly as he dialed Inessa's number. She answered after a few rings.
"Hey, Vinnie," she said, her voice slightly slurred.
"Inessa!" Vincent exclaimed, grinning drunkenly. "How's your party going?"
"It's going great," Inessa said, her voice brightening. "But Megan is being such a pick-me. She's so annoying."
Vincent chuckled. "I'm sorry about that, babe. But I'm glad you're having a good time."
They talked for a few more minutes before Vincent ended the call, feeling a bit woozy. He stumbled back into the living room, where the stripper was now dancing on him.
Vincent wasn't really interested in her, but he let her do her thing. He was too drunk to really care, anyway. After a while, his friends started leaving one by one, until only Elijah and Treyvon were left.
Elijah, who had been unable to drink because he was underage, had fallen asleep on the couch. Treyvon was passed out with the stripper on top of him, snoring loudly.
Vincent tried to get up from the couch, but his legs wouldn't cooperate. He ended up half on the couch and half on the floor, passing out in a drunken stupor.

The next morning- Inessa
The next day, Inessa, Mira, and Zariah arrived at the mansion, looking around in disbelief at the mess left behind by Vincent's bachelor party. Beer cans were scattered everywhere, confetti littered the floor, and there was even a stripper pole still set up in the middle of the room.
"How come we didn't get a stripper?" Inessa joked, trying to lighten the mood as she surveyed the scene.
Zariah chuckled. "I don't think we really need one. We can have our own fun without one."
Mira walked over to Elijah and slapped him on the back, causing him to jump up from his slumber with a loud yelp. Zariah walked over to Treyvon and pushed the stripper off of him, slapping him awake.
Inessa approached Vincent, who was half on the couch and half on the floor and slapped him on the back of his head in a distinctly Russian manner. Vincent jerked awake, his eyes wide with confusion and irritation.
"What the hell, Inessa?" he groaned, rubbing the back of his head.
"We're back, and you guys are a mess," Inessa said, shaking her head as she surveyed the room.
Vincent tried to stand up, but he stumbled and fell back onto the couch, groaning in pain. "I think I need to lie down for a bit," he said, his words slurring.
Inessa sighed and rolled her eyes. "You guys are hopeless," she muttered, but there was a hint of amusement in her voice.
She helped Vincent to his feet and guided him to his bedroom, where he promptly passed out on the bed. Inessa sat down beside him and sighed, wondering how she was going to clean up this mess. But for now, she decided to let the boys sleep off their hangovers. She couldn't believe she was getting married to this man tomorrow.

After she brought Vincent to his room, she got up and left the room, closing the door behind her. She walked back to the living room and started cleaning up the mess, feeling a mix of annoyance and affection for the boys. They were such idiots sometimes, but she loved them all the same.
As she was picking up a can, she felt someone grip her hips from behind. She tensed for a moment before realizing it was Vincent.
"You look good in that dress," he mumbled into her neck, and she felt herself blush.
"Thanks," she said, turning around to face him. "You look pretty good yourself."
"I can't believe I'm getting married to you tomorrow," Vincent said, his eyes shining with excitement.
Inessa smiled. "Yeah, it all went by so fast."
"It did," Vincent said, leaning in to kiss her.
But Inessa pulled back, feeling a sudden surge of panic. She couldn't let herself get too caught up in this. She reminded herself that this was all fake, that they were only getting married for show.
Vincent looked confused for a moment, but then he seemed to understand. "Sorry," he said, looking embarrassed. "I just can't help myself sometimes."
Inessa shook her head, feeling guilty. She knew she shouldn't have led him on like that. "It's okay," she said, forcing a smile. "Let's just clean up this mess and get some rest."
Vincent nodded, and they worked together to clean up the living room. Soon enough, the other boys stumbled in, looking bleary-eyed and hungover. Inessa ordered the stripper to leave, scolding her in Russian as she did so.
As they worked, Inessa couldn't help but think about what tomorrow would bring. She was nervous but also excited. She had no idea what was going to happen, but she was determined to make the best of it.
