Bella stood before the mirror, adjusting the delicate strands of pearls that hung around her neck. The restaurant Tom had chosen for their dinner was one of the most exclusive in the city, a place where the wealthy and elite dined in privacy. She smoothed her hands over the flowing fabric of the emerald-green gown Tom had sent her earlier that day. Its shimmering material clung to her curves, the plunging neckline and fitted waist highlighting the femininity she had come to embody over the past two years.
As Bella applied the finishing touches to her makeup, she couldn't shake the feeling that tonight would be different. Tom had been more attentive than usual in recent weeks, more eager to please her, more effusive in his affection. She had become accustomed to his flattery, but tonight, there was a sense of finality in the air. Bella knew what was coming, and with it, the knowledge that there would be no turning back.
The drive to the restaurant was quiet, her thoughts buzzing as the city lights flickered past the car windows. Bella glanced down at her hands, now adorned with a fresh manicure. Her fingers trembled slightly as she considered the weight of the decision she was about to make. A life of luxury, wealth, and comfort awaited her—everything she had been working towards since she became Bella. But it also meant the final erasure of Bryan, the person she once was.
When she arrived, Tom was already waiting at the table, his usual confident demeanor softened by an undercurrent of excitement. He stood as she approached, his eyes lighting up as he took her in.
"You look absolutely stunning, Bella," he said, his voice full of admiration.
"Thank you, Tom," Bella replied with a practiced smile, letting him guide her into her seat. She had learned to accept his compliments, to bask in the attention, but tonight there was a new tension in the air, a palpable anticipation.
The dinner passed in a blur of exquisite dishes and fine wine. Bella found it hard to focus on the food, her mind racing ahead to what she knew was coming. Tom's gaze never left her, his eyes full of affection and desire, and as dessert was served, the moment finally arrived.
Tom cleared his throat, setting down his glass of wine as he reached for her hand. "Bella," he began, his voice taking on a more serious tone. "The past year and half have been the happiest of my life. You've brought me joy, companionship, and love in ways I never thought possible."
Bella felt her heart pound in her chest, her breath catching as she watched him. Tom reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a small, velvet box, opening it to reveal a dazzling diamond ring.
"I can't imagine my life without you by my side. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Bella, will you marry me?"
The world seemed to stand still for a moment, the restaurant fading into the background as Bella stared at the ring. It was everything she had known would happen, yet the reality of the proposal hit her harder than she had anticipated. This was it—the final step in securing the life she had been building. But it also meant abandoning any hope of returning to her past, to Bryan, to the family she hadn't spoken to in over two years.
Bella took a deep breath, her mind racing. The image of her family briefly flashed before her—her mother's concerned face, her father's quiet disappointment when she had cut ties, and the brother she had grown up with but barely remembered now. Saying yes to Tom meant leaving all of that behind, fully committing to the identity of Bella, and accepting a future that had no room for Bryan.
But she had already come so far. Tom was her chance at a life free from the struggles that had once defined her existence. He adored her, lavished her with attention and wealth. She would never have to worry about money again, never have to return to the uncertainty of her old life. And yet, the ring in front of her seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, its sparkle blinding in its promise of security and the loss it symbolized.
After a pause that felt like an eternity, Bella looked up at Tom, her smile soft but determined. "Yes, Tom," she said, her voice steady. "Of course, I'll marry you."
Tom's face broke into a wide grin, and he slid the ring onto her finger with a tenderness that almost took her by surprise. He pulled her into a tight embrace, kissing her cheek as the restaurant erupted in applause. But as Bella smiled and kissed him back, a knot formed in the pit of her stomach. This was the life she had chosen, and now there was no turning back.
The weeks leading up to the wedding were a whirlwind of preparations. Tom had spared no expense, hiring the best wedding planner in the city to handle every detail. Bella found herself swept up in a world of dress fittings, floral arrangements, cake tastings, and venue visits. The extravagance of it all was overwhelming, but she played her part perfectly, nodding along as the planner discussed colors and themes, all while feeling a growing sense of detachment from the person she had once been.
The day of the wedding arrived in a blur of silk, lace, and diamonds. Bella stood in front of the mirror once again, this time in a custom-made wedding gown that hugged her curves and flared out into a sea of delicate fabric. The veil was pinned in place, and her makeup was flawless. She looked every bit the bride Tom wanted her to be—a vision of perfection, poised and beautiful.
As she walked down the aisle, arm in arm with Tom, the opulence of the ceremony surrounded her. The venue was a sprawling estate, the guest list filled with business associates, high-society figures, and celebrities. Tom had spared no expense, ensuring that every detail was perfect. Bella smiled as she moved through the ceremony, but inside, a quiet mourning took place. This was the death of Bryan. The person she had once been was gone, replaced entirely by Bella.
When they exchanged vows, Bella's voice was steady, her gaze locked on Tom's as she promised to love, honor, and cherish him. The crowd erupted in applause as they were pronounced husband and wife, and Tom kissed her deeply, sealing their union.
The reception that followed was just as extravagant, filled with laughter, music, and endless toasts. Bella smiled and laughed in all the right places, feeling the weight of the ring on her finger and the certainty of her new life pressing down on her. She was no longer Bryan, no longer tethered to her past. Bryan was now Bella, Tom's wife, and with that title came a life of privilege, luxury, and comfort.
As the night wore on, Bella found a quiet moment alone, standing on the terrace of the grand estate. The cool evening air brushed against her skin, and she gazed out at the sprawling gardens below. The celebration continued behind her, but in that moment, she felt a strange sense of finality.
She was now a wife, a symbol of beauty beside a successful man. But as she stood there, watching the stars flicker above, Bella couldn't help but wonder—had she made the right choice? Or had she lost something far more valuable in the process?
The answer, she realized, might never come.
