A V E L I N AA gasp slipped past my lips as I realized we had arrived at our destination.We were at the beach.The place was lit up with fairy lights, and there was a table for two in the middle, right by the shore. The view was incredible. It was a full moon and the light bounced off the sea, making it sparkle."Wow, babe. This is incredible.""I'm glad you like it." He took my hands and brought me down from the car. "I'm happy I could pull this off and get you here without ruining the surprise. It wouldn't have been the same if we weren't alone.""I'm so happy.""Happy birthday, baby. Let's go eat."He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we walked to the table. The set up was romantic, with the white and gold decorations, and the candles."Lo, this is beautiful. You didn't have to go all out.""But I wanted to. Only the best for my wife.""I'm really blessed to have you.""You're worth every little effort, and the moon and the stars. I'd give them to you if I could. You've made
A V E L I N AONE YEAR LATER..The huge doors slid open and suddenly the bright light in the hall fell on me. The entire crowd gasped as I slowly walked the aisle.My wedding gown flowed behind me. It was made by my favorite designer of all time. She was the best designer in the whole world and it was an honor to finally wear something made by her hands. I'd always wanted a wedding gown from her right from my childhood, and this truly felt like a dream come true.The details on the dress were so exquisite, and the material was so light, but elegant.It was a long dress with a train. I'd wanted a traditional wedding, and a long dress would suit the occasion perfectly.My dress was white and it was a mermaid style. It hugged my body, and the lace covered the dress, creating a beautiful pattern. The straps were laced as well. It was a strapless dress.My hair was styled in a bun, and there were some loose strands. There were also little white flowers on my head.I wore a long veil, which
A V E L I N AThe sun shone harshly above me, making me sweat even more. I stood outside the huge mansion I’ve grown accustomed to for the past six years.I walked towards the gate of the new building, excited to see the woman who has easily fit in the role of a mother figure in my life. At this moment, I was thankful Margaret refused to let me dress like the other maids in the house, because I couldn’t imagine wearing that tight constricting dress in this harsh heat. Her reasons were valid though, I wasn’t just a maid in her house. I was also her personal caregiver. And she always mentioned how much I reminded her of her granddaughter who she hasn’t seen in ages. Finally standing outside the big black gate, I placed my hand on the little doorbell that was placed close to the gate. The warm and familiar voice of the security guard filled the intercom. “Avelina? Always early and punctual as usual?” He said warmly as the remote controlled gate started sliding open. I stepped into th
A V E L I N AI stared at him, a little confused. "Wha- what?" I stuttered out, not knowing what he was referring to."You're not deaf," His beautiful grey eyes narrowed to slits as he grabbed my arm. I felt my skin heat up at the touch, but the feeling was immediately replaced with pain as his grip tightened. He pulled me closer to him, making sure I heard him clearly. "Who the fuck are you?"His breath fanned over my face, the minty smell almost making me choke. I looked away, trying to pry my arm from his hold, but he didn't budge. "Get your hands off of her, Enzo." Maggie's stern voice came from the back seat, her eyes narrowed dangerously.He instantly let go, turning around to face her. I rubbed the spot on my hand, feeling the sting. I looked back at him and saw him looking down in shame. His eyes were no longer cold and harsh, now they seemed... softer."Who is she?" He asked her in a softer tone and she frowned at him, looking upset."Don't be a brat, Lorenzo." Maggie chastis
A V E L I N AI've never felt as disrespected as I felt at this moment and his audacity was infuriating. How dare he accuse me of such a thing! I've been taking care of his grandmother, helping her when no one else did, and that's how he decides to repay me?He looked shocked for a second before his features returned to a neutral expression. "Look, I don't know who you are. You're not my family, you're not even friends with my family. So why are you here?" He leaned back, raising a brow at me."Your grandmother is very important to me, and I care for her like she's my own. And I have never asked for anything in return. Not a penny. Never. So, whatever it is that you're insinuating is very fucking wrong and I'm insulted." I glared, crossing my arms over my chest.He looked at me, unmoved. "I've been asking around and no one knows you. So, please, tell me why my Nonna is so attached to a complete stranger.""I don't need to explain myself to you, sir. That is for Maggie to tell. Now, if
A V E L I N AThe next two weeks flew by in a blur, and before I knew it, it was already the day of my unplanned wedding. Maggie insisted I have the ceremony today, and I had no choice but to agree.My heart was beating rapidly in my chest as I walked towards the altar, the guests quieting down. I wore a long, off-white lace dress, that complimented my body. It had a high neck, long sleeves and the skirt ended just below my knees.I walked down the aisle, feeling my face heat up as I noticed the few guests staring at me. It was a small ceremony, thankfully. I felt uncomfortable under their gaze and I bit my lip, my nerves taking over. Thankfully, a veil was over my face, giving little privacy.I looked up, seeing the back of Enzo's head. He was standing next to the priest, looking out the window. I swallowed thickly, feeling my nerves return.As the music changed, he turned, his eyes locking with mine. There was a bit of shock in his irises and I watched as he balled his fists before
A V E L I N AWe got to the hotel and got into our room. I made the first trip to the bathroom to pull off this heavy wedding dress and take a hot shower.I came out wearing a light pink silk nightgown.When I walked out, I noticed him sitting on the couch, a drink in his hand. He looked up, his grey orbs roaming my body, making me fidget.I swallowed, feeling nervous. It was the first time we were completely alone and the tension was thick.I walked over to the bed, sitting down and pulling the duvet over my legs. His shirt was unbuttoned and he had changed out of his formal attire, now dressed in a pair of shorts and a plain black shirt.The room was dimly lit and I watched as he took stick of cigarette and brought it to his lips, lighting it. He took a deep inhale, blowing out a puff of smoke."That's bad for your health." I blurted out. I don't know why, but the thought of him getting sick because of something so unnecessary didn't sit well with me.He raised a brow, "And why do y
A V E L I N AI shamefully arranged my nightgown and tied a robe over it as I stood up from the bed. I wore my slippers and walking out of the hotel room, walking towards where Lorenzo went to.The hotel was still bubbly even at 1am, I had noticed. I was thankful for that as no one paid any attention to the girl who had tears in her eyes and a red cheek.I got into the elevator and pressed the button that led to the roof.I knew I'd find him there.But, what I wasn't expecting was to get the biggest shock of my life. There he was, standing on the rooftop with a slender lady in his arms. She had her arms around his neck and her tongue shoved down his throat.I couldn't breathe. I was rooted to the ground. I couldn't move and I couldn't stop watching. I wasn't shocked that he was cheating. I was shocked that I felt my heart break into a million pieces.And, why did I feel this way? Why was I so shocked and upset?I didn't care about him.I shouldn't."Oh, fuck! That was good. I missed y
