Shades Of Red

Chapter Twenty two

“Yeah, put the altar in front of the hedge. Oh, and put those flowers near the benches.”

Adrian directed the workers around as he got the decorations up to tomorrow. Tomorrow was their big day, the wedding was just one, One day away.

“This seems absolutely gorgeous Adrian, never knew you’re able with such beautiful decor.”

Adrian looked at Geven. His smile grew. “Just trying to make everything perfect.”  Geven slapped a hand on Adrian’s shoulder and sighed. “We need to talk privately about this wedding.”  Adrian looked away from Geven and shook his head. “There’s nothing private, speak.” “the Enchanted Garden is where you married Sarah, are you sure you’d want to relive the memory of her when marrying Ace? I understand you don’t want to think about it, but it’s needed to be talked about sooner or later.”  Adrian slid Geven’s hand off him, he smiled. “I’m sure about this. Ace find’s this place beautiful and i won’t let him down on where we both agreed of marrying each other. It’s just a place, not a memory.”

“Vlad’s having the same thoughts, and you know what he can see.”  

“I am aware about Vlad’s Kamala like skills, but i assure you nothing will happen. High security will be placed around each area of the wedding. Nothing will come in or out until we leave for the Sight.”

“Adrian.. I worry.”

“I worry too, Geven, but i know my business.”

Geven pursed his lips and walked in front of Adrian. His magenta eyes glowed as he blocked Adrian’s view of the arch. “Adrian, please.” “i’m not moving the wedding’s location. If you and Kitten want to marry here, somehow, tomorrow as well, i wouldn’t mind you joining us.” Geven rolled his eyes and groaned. “I’m not saying this place it bad, it’s absolutely wonderful, but the eighteenth is something.. And you know what that day is.”

“April eighteenth, the day me and Sarah got married. Is that what you want me to say aloud? It’s just a date.”

“Listen, why did you marry her on that day?”

“Because it was her-”  Adrian stopped. Tomorrow Ace will be back in the serious depression due to Sarah’s birthday tomorrow. Adrian never once thought about that, why would he?  He’s forgotten about Sarah for a little while, only focusing on Ace, the Twins and his own son. “Now thinking, i don’t know if would be safe to have the wedding directly tomorrow. But, we’ll do it later. Night is more special than the day as the moon will be big and full for the night.”  “Adrian.. I’m not telling you to change the time. I just want Ace to be okay marrying you on the his mother's birthday.” “i’ll talk to him about it later. Go on, i know you have work.” Geven nodded and walked away. “Wait, i want you to take this to Vlad, our delivery got mixed up.” taking the small parchment envelope, Geven instantly say Vlad's full first name in a neatly cursing writing, a wax stamp was hurried to close the envelope. On the wax was a large fancy W, guessing for a last name.  “Yeah, I'll take it to him. But I will be back.” Adrian nodded him off and smiled. “Please let Vlad be in one piece? I don’t want a half of both Kitten and Vlad for the wedding.” Geven glared at Adrian. “I’m not fucking Vlad.” “yes, the whole moaning fest of Vlad calling you daddy and Kitten sucking him off was my imagination.” Geven rolled his eyes and walked away, basically hearing Adrian’s smirk behind him.

Heading near Vlad office, Geven swerved at the door.  His smile dropped as he saw Vlad’s back facing him. Vlad held in his left hand the picture of Juliet, Chrissy, Jamie and him. His family. Vlad kept his eyes on the kids and his thumb was placed over Juliet’s chest. Vlad just smiled and carefully sat the picture down. Turning in his chair, Vlad gasped as he swa Geven standing there with a sadden look.
