VICTORIA WAS PACING ANXIOUSLY AROUND THE SMALL ROOM, making last-minute decisions, her dress train trailing along the floor. Harper followed her every move from the small brown couch, debating whether to offer Victoria another shot of tequila. The Russo girl had already had two shots, but they did not calm her nerves. Sophia sighed and grasped Victoria's train, holding it as she continued to pace. Meanwhile, the other girls were putting the final touches on their hair and makeup, occasionally telling Victoria to calm down and sit, but she did not listen to them.
" The ceremony starts in ten minutes, " Gabriella announced as she entered the room. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at her sister. "You look beautiful, honey."
" There's still time to run away, right? " Victoria asked, casting a brief glance at her sister. " I will be out of the city before everyone starts to look for me. "
" Tori, stop, " Gabriella stopped her sister's pacing by placing her hands on her shoulders. " Take a deep breath, honey, " the older Russo advised and both girls inhaled deeply. " I know you two can't stand each other but look on the bright side. He's not a complete stranger. "
Victoria knew that Gabriella was right. In a different scenario where the Russo and DeLuca families were not close or not the two most powerful families, Victoria would have found herself marrying a complete stranger, someone she had never met before. Now, she did not know Lorenzo very well, but at least he was not a stranger to her.
" It's time, " Alessandro said to the girls in the room when he knocked on the door and walked in. Victoria took a deep, shaky breath and grabbed the boutique that Harper handed her. " You look amazing, Tori. "
" Thank you, " Victoria smiled a bit, brushing a hand through her dress skirt.
She glanced in the mirror for the last time to check her appearance before going down the aisle. Her wedding gown was a stunning blend of traditional elegance and striking uniqueness. An off-the-shoulder neckline gracefully accentuated the collarbone and shoulders with a touch of intricate lace detailing. The bodice was fitted to Victoria's figure before cascading into a voluminous ball gown skirt. But what she liked about this dress and what set this gown apart was the exquisite emerald green chapel train that extended from the back of the dress. The train contrasted beautifully with the white lace, creating an eye-catching effect.
