My phone has been vibrating non-stop since being in the print and frame store. Ace is calling me.‘Hi, babe,’ I answer.‘Zurielle. Thank goodness. Jack and I were worried. Neither of you were answering our calls. The media are here. Are you ready to go?’‘Yes. We’re ready.’‘Whereabouts are you? Nolan and Mason are with us. They lost you.’‘We’re hiding behind a large pot-plant in the food court so the media don’t see us.’’Okay. We’re at the other end, near Target. Let's meet halfway.' Ace says, and we end the call.I turn my head, and Hailey is gone.'Hailey!' I whisper, looking for her. Hailey is crouching into a clothing store. She waves me over. I bob down, and run into the store with her. The media are near the giant plant we were just hiding behind. Random shoppers watch them and ask them what is going on.'Ace Brightly and his fiance, Zurielle, are here somewhere.' The women swoon and squeal. 'Ace Brightly is here!' They scream, catching the attention of hundreds of shoppers w

The police arrive, search the house thoroughly, and find no one inside. Relieved, we thank them, and they leave. I’m still feeling anxious.‘Maybe Mason and Nolan can stay the night if they’re free.’ I ask, turning to them. They nod and smile.‘Do we get pizza and a movie too?’ Nolan asks, and we laugh and nod.‘Of course.’ I smile. Ace orders pizzas while Hailey and I make drinks in the kitchen. Hailey can sense I’m anxious. She tries to take my mind off the note.‘How’s the wedding planning going?’‘Great. We have organised so much already. We’ll be getting married sooner rather than later, at this rate.’ I smile.‘Awesome! Have you chosen a location?’‘Yep. We’ve decided to have the ceremony here under the massive willow tree outside. And the reception in the grand hall.’‘That’s perfect Zurielle! I’m so jealous. I wish I could get married in a beautiful place like this. Give me all the details.’ I tell her all the details, and Nolan comes into the kitchen.‘I just checked the surv

Ace has been invited to showcase some of his designs during Melbourne Fashion Week. We have been extremely busy all week. Ace makes sure the designs are made on time and attends the photoshoots so everything runs smoothly. I have spent most of the week in the office editing, and organising the articles for the next magazine, on top of the admin I already do. June enters the office with a pile of printouts.'I assume these are yours,' she says.'Thanks. My printer ran out of ink. I had to use yours.''That's fine.' She smiles and looks at my messy desk, wondering where to put the pile of paper.'Is there a pin board around here? I don't have space on my desk to work on the magazine.''Yes, I’ll get you one.''Great! Just put all that on Ace’s desk for now.' June nods, puts the paperwork on his desk and leaves the room. She returns twenty minutes later with a large pinboard/white board on wheels.'Perfect! Thank you so much.' She smiles and leaves the office. I start pinning the magazin

We arrive at work the next day and the staff applaud us as we enter. June races towards us with the newspaper and reads out the reviews.‘Ace Brightly has done it again! His designs were outstanding and they outshined everyone else’s.’June continues to read them all out as she follows us into the elevator and into our office. She smiles and puts the newspaper on Ace’s desk.‘Congratulations, Mr Brightly, on the great reviews,’ she says, and leaves the room. Ace pulls some parchment from his drawer and begins sketching, and I open the laptop and begin editing. Before we know it, it’s lunchtime.‘I’m going downstairs and having lunch with the ladies today,’ I smile. Ace nods and I give him a kiss on the cheek before leaving. I find Carol, Lana, Cleo and the rest of the girls in the breakroom.‘Hey girls,’ I say as I enter. They hug me and give me air kisses. Cleo pulls up a chair beside her.‘Thanks.’ I sit down in the chair beside her.‘I’m glad you’re here. I was going to ask the lad

We have another busy week at work, and I find myself going to bed a little bit early each night. I’m constantly tired. I get into my nighty and sit on the bed.‘Do you want to watch a movie before we go to sleep? It’s only eight o’clock.′ I nod, and close my eyes for a moment.‘I feel a bit woozy.’ Ace races towards me before I collapse.'I'm fine. I’ll just get a glass of water from the bathroom.' I slowly stand up and take a few steps forward, and a bout of nausea washes over me. I run to the bathroom and vomit into the toilet. Ace follows me, ties my hair up into a ponytail and rubs my back.'I’m sorry,' I sob, as he passes me a glass of water and a face washer to wipe my mouth.'Don’t be sorry babe. You’ve been under pressure at work and the wedding is two weeks away. You’re under a lot of stress,' he reassures me. I sip the glass of water and begin to feel better.'I'm so tired. I feel like I haven’t slept in months.'He takes my empty glass, sits it on the vanity and slowly lift

Hailey and I have a kick-ass self-defence session. We high-five each other at how far we’ve come in the last few months of classes. Hailey's confidence has grown.'Wait till I see Zayne. He won't know what has hit him when I elbow him in the face and heel palm him in the nose!’ Hailey laughs, demonstrating the moves in the air.'Take that Zayne! And that! And that! Hoya!' She yells, kicking the air. We laugh and I admire her determination to one day kick Zayne’s ass.Every day at work this week, I’ve either had hot flushes or nausea, all while feeling incredibly emotional. My boobs are tender. I discreetly rub them at my desk.‘What are you doing?’ He asks, smirking. ′Nothing. Shouldn’t you be sketching?’‘Well, I was, until you got my full attention, doing whatever you’re doing over there.’My face feels hot again. I fan my face and unbutton the top of my blouse. Ace gives me a strange look.‘Are you okay?’‘I’m feeling hot all the time and my boobs hurt. I need to take this bra off

With two days until the wedding, the house is abuzz with people setting up, decorating the grand hall and glamorising the garden outside. I laugh and shake my head at the large vintage carousel being set up. I thought Ace was joking about that.Jack and Hailey arrive as a two-metre chocolate fountain is carried in by two bulky men. Hailey squeals in delight at everything being carried inside, or in the process of being set up.‘You must be so excited,’ she squeals.‘I am, but I’m also nervous.’‘Everyone is nervous before their wedding. You will be fine.’ She smiles.‘You are staying with me, at the hotel, the night before the wedding, and we’ll get ready together. Cleo and Lana will help me into the dress.’‘Have you seen your wedding dress yet?’‘Ace wants me to see it, but I’m determined to wait till the day of the wedding.’‘Well, good to know you have put your full trust in him as you’re about to marry him.’ She giggles.‘I trust him with my whole heart, hence why I’m content wit

We arrive at The Royal Melbourne Hospital, and pace back and forth in the waiting room for a few hours until a doctor comes out.'We were able to revive him. We removed two bullets. Nolan is a very lucky man. The CPR and the pressure on the wounds reduced his blood loss. It helped save his life.' Ace thanks the doctor and we all cry with happiness and hug each other.'Can we see him?' Ace asks.'He really needs to rest. You should go home and come back tomorrow.' Ace nods, and we wipe our tears, and leave the hospital. Hailey and I sit in the back seat holding hands and Ace sits next to me while Mason sits in the passenger seat next to Jack, in disbelief. We arrive at our house in Sandringham twenty minutes later.'I'll drop Mason home. See you tomorrow. Stay safe,' Jack says, waving goodbye to us. We go inside and go straight to the bathroom to remove our bloody clothes. Ace turns the shower on and I put our clothes in the bin.We get into the shower and I stare down at the red water
