"So where is the lovely couple going for their honeymoon?" Lafayette asks breaking the everyone's side conversations. They all silenced and looked towards Alexander and I. I smile and squeeze Alexanders hand before answering.
"I convinced him to take me to Spain," I kindly say. I hear a small scream from across the table. Everyone turns around to Rose who was desperately trying to swallow her bread before screaming again. The excitement in her eyes grew at the name of her birth place.
"¡España! ¡Es tan hermoso! ¡Estoy tan orgulloso de que vayas a donde crecí! Follar bendice tu alma." (Spain! It's so beautiful! I'm so proud you are going where I grew up! Fucking bless your soul.) Rose screams as she stands up and runs over to me tackling me into a hug.
"Vato! I can not believe this!" (Man) Rose screams into my ear. I laugh and try to pull her off of me.
"Rose! Get off or I won't go to Spain," I threaten. She quickly jumps off of me. Everyone laughs at her as bright pink tint forms on her cheeks from embarrassment. She looks over at Lafayette who has a wide grin and is quietly laughing. She smiles at him before turning back to me.
"As you can tell I'm so excited for you to see Spain you will love it," She tells me before she skips back to her seat next to Lafayette. Lafayette turns to her.
"Mon Amie, I thought you lived in France," Lafayette asks her. His eyebrows were furrowed in thought. Has she not told him about her past before France? She normally pretty open about it.
"Oh I grew up in Spain but my parents were a little loco. So I ran away to France on one of my uncles ships. It lead me to France where I met Alaska," She simply explains. I let it go as I'm sure she will tell him more later.
"Well it seems everyone is about done eating and I'm need to mood to dance," I pause and turn to Alexander.
"Care to dance?" I ask him. He smiles and says, "J'adorerais aussi." (I would love too) I smile and pull him up as music starts to play. I wrap my arms around his neck as he places his hands on my waist. He pulls me closer so my head is now placed on his chest. Our heartbeats both are beating fast but are perfectly in sync with each other. He places his head on top of mine as we carefully dance through the crowd of our friends.
I open my eyes for second to see Rose and Lafayette dancing. I smile widely and look up to Alexander. He smiles as we make eye contact and I jolt my head over to Rose and Lafayette. He looks over at them and lets out a quiet laugh as he puts his head down.
"Go Laf, gettin' the ladies," He jokes. I laugh with him and I softly kiss him. I look over to see Rose gone and Lafayette fighting with Adrienne. He pulls her into a different room and me being me I have to follow them. I pull away from Alexander and he frowns.
"I'll be right back," I say and peck his lips. I start to walk away but he holds my wrist. I turn to him and he whispers, "Promise?" I smile.
"I promise," I tell him. He smiles and lets go of my hand. I make my way over to the hallway Lafayette and Adrienne were in.
I hide in the bathroom right next to where I can hear two french voices bickering.
"Je ne peux pas croire que tu sois folle de ça!" (I can't believe you are mad about this!) I hear Lafayette whisper yell.
"Bien sur que je le suis! je suis ta femme!" (Of course I am! I am your wife) Adrienne whisper yells back.
"Pas très bon," (Not a very good one) Lafayette says under his breathe. I then hear a loud gasp and what sounded like a slap. I cover my mouth in shock.
"Comment oses-tu!" (How dare you) Adrienne spits at him.
"J'en ai fini avec tes conneries Adrienne," (I'm done with your bullshit Adrienne). Lafayette tells her.
"Qu'est-ce que c'est censé vouloir dire?" (What is that suppose to mean?) Adrienne says coldly.
"Je connais les affaires et c'est écoeurant. Vous partez en utilisant mon argent, en dormant avec d'autres hommes pendant que je prends soin de nos enfants," (I know about the affairs and it is sickening. You go off using my money, sleeping with other men while I take care of our children) Lafayette says. Adrienne stays quiet and Lafayette continues.
"J'ai trouvé quelqu'un que j'aime et tu ne peux pas l'accepter parce que tu veux mon argent," (I have found someone I love and you cannot accept it because you want my money) Lafayette fights.
He loves Rose! Holy shit! I need to tell her. I fist bump the air in victory until I hear Lafayette sigh. I lean my ear back up against the door.
"je veux un divorce," (I want a divorce) Lafayette says quietly. I can tell he is crying which breaks my heart.
"Et la garde complète des enfants," (And full custody of the kids) Lafayette says again.
"Bien mais je veux de l'argent," (Fine but I want money) Adrienne flatly replies.
"Combien?" (How much?) Lafayette asks.
"Le manoir in Loire Valley," (The mansion in Loire Valley) Adrienne says. I gasp to myself.
"Adrienne c'est là que j'ai grandi! Tu ne peux pas me prendre ça," (Adrienne that's where I grew up! You can not take that from me) Lafayette cries.
I put hand over my mouth as I let out a small sob. I know how much that manoir means to Lafayette. He would write to me how he couldn't wait to watch his kids grow up there just like he did before his parents and grandfather died leaving him a 13 year old orphan.
"Le manoir ou Rose?" (The mansion or Rose?) She spits. It's quiet for a long time until I hear Lafayette quietly say.
"Je te hais tellement," (I hate you so much) Lafayette cries out quietly.
"Is it a yes?" She asks changing to English.
"You'll have the papers by the end of the weekend," He says softly.
"Good," Adrienne says I then hear her heals click away. I hear Lafayette burst into sobs. I open the door but then hear someone walking down the hallway so I quickly hide back in the bathroom.
"Laf?" I hear Rose ask. He lets out a quiet sob and I hear her heels quicken as she runs over to him.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" She asks softly.
"I did it," He quietly says.
"Did what?" She asks.
"I'm getting a divorce," He says quietly.
"Oh Dios mío," (Oh my God) She says under her breath.
"How-sh-why?" She chokes out.
"Because I love you," He says quietly.
"I love you too but you shouldn't have done that," She says quietly.
"I was never happy with her and now that your here I finally remember how happy feels like And I'm not letting that go," He says softly.
"What about the kids?" She asks.
"I have full custody," He says.
"Then what did she want?" She quietly asks.
"It's not important. I would trade anything for you," He says quietly.
"Marquis tell me what the hell you traded," She asks.
"Le Manoir," He says quietly. I hear her gasp.
"Laf! How can you trade that! It means so much to you! it's your home," She cries.
"Sh sh I know but I'll get over it," He says.
"Oh hell no! There is no way I will let her take this from you! I know some lawyers and we can get the manoir from that loca perra,"(crazy bitch) Rose harshly spits.
"Rose, mon seul amour it is okay. I have you and that's all I need," (My only love) He calmly says.
"No Lafayette look at me," She strictly says. I can just imagine her holding his tear framed face up close to hers.
"We will not let this go! We have enough evidence to make sure she cannot take your home,"
"Are you sure about this?" He asks.
"Sí," she says softly. It then becomes very quiet until I start to hear the sound of kissing. Oh shit. I need to get out of here before they go farther then I need to hear. I carefully open the door and step out. I look over to see Lafayette on top of Rose. They are slowly but passionately kissing.
"Aww so cute," I say and they both instantly break away. Rose glares at me as Lafayette just looks apologetic. I laugh at them and start to walk back to the dance floor.
I see Alexander talking to Hercules and Washington so I walk up to them.
"Hey, what took you so long?" Alexander asks me.
"Sorry just some business I had to take care of," I say and they all look at me suspiciously.
"You sure?" Hercules asks.
"Yeah you look oddly happy?" Washington questions.
"Well I did just get married," I say.
"Okay," Alexander says then he comes close to my ear and whispered, "Tell me on the way to Spain," I laugh at nod to him.
I converse with the guest for awhile until I feel someone though my shoulder I turn around to where I am greeted by are driver.
"Miss I need your advice on some of your traveling details if you would follow me please," He asks.
"Let me get Alexander for you I am not in charge of any of our traveling details," I say and then I turn around towards Alexander. He forcefully grabs my arm and holds onto it tight.
"You see for the best travel I will need you to follow me," He says coldly. I shallow hard as he starts to pull me out of the ballroom. I quickly look for someone to help me but no one is close enough for me to get their attention without the driver knowing. I'm almost out of the ballroom so I desperately grab onto a table knocking down the table along with a vase and some frames of me and the Washington's.
Everyone stops and looks towards me and the driver. I hear him curse under his breath and he turns around towards me. He quickly picks me up and I start to kick and scream. I hear Alexander start to curse at him along with others. The driver then throws me into the the other room hitting my back against one of the many pillars. Dazed I see a man pulling me down hallways.
"Sh, Alaska your gonna be just fine," The man says with a horrifying familiar voice. I instantly recognize the filthy bastard.
"Get away from me you creep," I scream as I try to kick my legs but the pain was to severe to do any damage.
"I told you I be back bitch," He spits. I start to scream and cry as he drags me farther from the ballroom. So much commotion is happening in the ballroom I wouldn't be surprised that they couldn't hear me.
"What do you want from me," I cry out. My vision was blurry and my head ached.
"You shouldn't have left France," He laughed at me. He then picked me and slammed me against a wall. I feel a framed picture cut into my already hurt back. Tears pour down my face as I frantically kick and scream at him. He kisses down my neck roughly drawing blood onto my white dress.
I had changed out of my wedding dress but I was still in a white formal dress for the reception. He started to undo my corset. When I hear Roses voice, "Noel?"
I then feel Noel's body recklessly taken off of mind and I crumpled onto the floor. I see Alexander on top of him beating him mercilessly. Rose pulls me into an embrace as I cry into her shoulder. A crowd as formed to watch the groom beat up the brides attacker and the bride crying into the arms of her maid of honor.
It felt like hours watching Alexander beat Noel. Finally Alexander stopped and stood up. His fists were bloody and he had tears down his face. He was previously screaming as he beat Noel.
Alexander walks over to me and Rose helps me stand up. I instantly fall into his arms and we both fall onto the floor in tears.
"I'm so sorry," he repeats into my ear as I hyperventilated into his shoulder. He rubbed circles into my back and used his free hand to move my head so he can examine me. His violet-blue eyes were red and his cheekbones where stained with tears that were rushing down. His lips were cracked and his normally steady voice was shaky and tired.
"God Alaska I'm so sorry," He cried he stroked my cheek.
"Are you hurt?" He asks softly. I can't speak so I just nod my head as a "yes". His eyes widen.
"Where?" He asks quickly as he looked around my body.
"Ba-c-k," I choke out. He turns me around and undoes my corset. His gasps softly as he rubs up and down my bare back. I can't see what's there but probably bruises from being thrown. He ties the corset back up loosely so it wouldn't touch my back. Just then a man in all black comes in.
"Hello, I will be the drivers for Mr. and Mrs. Ham-,"He stopped once he saw the bride and groom crying in each others and arms and a man most likely dead and a crowd of people all crying and holding onto each other.
Alexander stands me up and leans me against him.
"Well it seems our driver is here for Spain. Thank you for all coming today and I hope you had a good time before this mess," He says as steady as he can. He turns away from the crowd and helps me out of the house to a carriage waiting there. The driver follows us stunned and quiet. We get into the carriage and start to drive to the docks for our ship.
The whole ride Alexander just comforted me and ruffed my back carefully. We both silently cried to the docks.
