Time had passed since the whole Selene fiasco, she singlehandedly ruined all her friendships, Before, Tayana remained neutral on her issue with Alina and Dominic but she regretted not cutting her off but at least she was gone now.

------------------------

Alina was getting ready in the professional booth, her hair and makeup done to perfection. She wore a beautiful beige wedding dress, the lace and silk fabric shimmering in the light. The crew helped her get ready, assisting with delicate jewels and make. Her long dark curly hair hung loose down her back, she couldn't help but feel nervous, her mind consumed with thoughts of the wedding and the responsibilities that came with it, she just wanted everything to be perfect.

She hadn't seen Dominic all day and she wanted to but it was bad luck to see your partner before weddings, he was the only person in this world who could ease her nerves on everything but he wasn't there for that, she missed him but she knew it would all be worth it after the wedding ceremony, a testament to their love.

It was time, it was time for her to walk down the isle and represent her family well, she grabbed her bouquet and took a look at her makeup one last time before she let the room and onto the wedding ceremony venue which was just outside.

The venue was filled with security and bodyguards, dressed to fit the theme but still intimidating to protect and serve the Suzui family during this special occasion. Alina took a deep breath as the doors open, the harmonious sound of a full orchestra playing wedding music and ambiance. As she walked in, everyone looked back in awe, she could already see her father holding back tears during this moment, she thought sadly for a moment, her mother would've loved to be here and watch her little girl get married.

As Alina walked in, she turned to the side and turned, watching Dominic walk up beside her, her arm entwining with his as they walked down the aisle. He couldn't keep his eyes off her, she looked gorgeous, he couldn't wait to marry her himself on their own special day. Behind them, the other bride-maids followed with their groomsmen, following the maid-of-honour, Alina.

As they reached the end of the opulent red carpet, she parted ways with Dominic to sit on the other side as planned. Alina looked out at the rows of chairs, filled with family and friends, all anxiously waiting for her sister to make her grand entrance and walk down the aisle. Her heart was filled with a mix of joy and happiness, hoping that everything would go smoothly and her sister would have the wedding of her dreams.

The groom, Jun, walked down the aisle first, looking handsome and nervous at the same time. He took his place at the alter, his eyes reaching for his bride. His suit was immaculate, his expression confident and excited.

As the wedding tune switched, the guests's attention shifted to the entrance, eagerly awaiting the bride's arrival. The crowd stood up as Tayana walked down the aisle on her father's arm. She looked absolutely gorgeous in her wedding dress, her face lit up with joy and excitement. She was wearing her beautiful satin wedding dress that cascaded down her body in soft, cascading layers. Her curly hair was pulled up into a slick back bun, accentuating her delicate features. and a veil trailed behind her, adding on to the dreamy atmosphere of the room.

Alina's heart was full with emotion as she watched sister walk down the aisle, her eyes welling with tears of happiness and joy. She couldn't believe that this moment had finally arrived, that her sister was getting married and beginning a new chapter of her life, leaving her past behind.

----------

The wedding reception was a grand affair, taking place in a spacious and elegant ballroom/ Guests mingled and chatted, glasses of champagne in hand as they celebrated the union of the bride and groom. The mood was light and festive, with a live band playing upbeat music and a few brace guests attempting to dance. The venue was tastefully decorated with flowers and lights and the atmosphere was lively and cheerful. Tayana and Hun were seated at the head of the room, receiving wishes, congratulations from their family and friends and of course gifts that lined up, ranging from expensive orange bags to opulent black ones.

Alina and Dominic were on the balcony, the loud music now muffled by the outside. She stood over the edge, watching the whole city in Dominic's arms as he stood behind her with a protective but light grip. They stood in silence, enjoying each other's presence until Dom decided to break the silence.

"You know I'm gonna marry you one day?" His words caught her off guard, she turned around to face him, a smile on her face.

"Where's this coming from?" She asked with a giggle.

"I think about it all the time, I just wanted to tell you now, I love you that much." He said, his words making butterflies flutter in her stomach, they never failed to.

"I love you more." She said, leaning in to kiss his lips.

"I'm proud of you, you know? You're the strongest woman I know."

"I couldn't have done it without you..you made me actually know what love feels like and I feel it everyday from you. We change each other for the better..there's no one else I'd rather want as a husband and father to my kids." Before he could reply, they stayed silently listening to the announcement from downstairs, they had to perform for the guests, she smiled and began to walk before he picked her up bridal style, much to her amusement and laughter.

Alina soon stood at the centre of the stage, microphone in hand, Dominic sat beside her, giving her a knowing look before his fingers effortlessly strummed the strings of his guitar. The music began, a beautiful and moving song about love and commitment. As her voice filled the room, Dominic's guitar playing complemented her voice perfectly, creating a magical and intimate atmosphere in the room. The soft lightening illuminated their figures. The guests watched in awe, captivated by Alina's singing, their hearts touched by the lovely performance.

As Alina and Dominic continued to perform, Jun led Tayana onto the dance floor. They began to dance to the song surrounded by their family and friends, their eyes locked as they swayed to the soft, melodious music. The atmosphere filled with love and joy, the newlyweds lost in each other as they shared their first dance as husband and wife.

Alina made small glances towards Dominic who was captivated by her voice as always. Performing together like this was a testament to their love, what it represents and how they meld together so well. Her beautiful voice is reminiscent of a song's melody, captivating everyone in the room while Dominic skilfully played the guitar, adding onto her performance with his music. Together, they create a beautiful harmony, Alina's singing and Dominic's playing becoming a perfect pair, like a songbird and its guitarist.
