DemitriWhen I got here, I didn't expect her dad and mum to pull me to the side and tell me things. Apparently, they assumed I would have known, but I didn't. Last night made them realise I didn't know.I stand with my arms around her, and she's still distant and I feel like she's about to run which I won't let her do. She needs someone who will fight for her, and keep her there. She needs someone to prove they won't give up and confirm her worst fears."Tell me about what happened, Demi. Your parents did, but that isn't your side," I lift her head so she's facing me. She's wild, but I now wonder how much of that is her barrier? A way to keep her safe?"I don't know what to say," she whispers and I pull her onto the bed and sit with my arms around her still."Tell me what made you leave?" I ask. I know the simple version. She had been dating a guy since she was fourteen. Moved in with him at seventeen. She suspected he was cheating, and he gaslighted her. Things got physical, and agai

DemiI get ready and walk down. Finding my bag, I take out my phone. I want to do something for Demitri, but I'm not sure what I can do.After how bad I was, I wanted to prove to him that I did love him, and the other night was just one big messed-up situation.Staring at the phone, I consider it."Demi," I turn and see Cisco walking over. He sits and faces me."You can tell me off. I deserve it," I whisper, and he laughs."I trust my son to deal with it in the way he thinks is best. It's his relationship, and I know he can deal with the issues himself without coming to me for advice."Well, at least he doesn't want to tell me off and shout at me."You're quiet. Are you okay?" he asks, and I nod."Yeah, I just feel lost," I sigh. "I want to prove to him that this isn't just fun and that I value it and him. I want to prove I love him, but I'm not sure how. Women, you can give them a puppy, and it helps." I shrug slightly."Yeah, I doubt a puppy would help in your situation," he smirks

DemiIt's been six months. As we approached today, I became more worried and anxious. I asked him to marry me, and he agreed.I've taken over the company, but I put Yas in the lead. I've stepped back from the business more and more and slowly pushed myself into Demitri's world. I happily stand by his side through his work, regardless of how messy, scary or bloody it gets.Demitri told me he already had a plan for the wedding, so I let him decide, which is why I'm here. I stood behind a bit of white screen on the beach as Yas fixed my hair.Kalanggaman Island Beach isn't one I had ever heard of. It's small and private, and Demitri has done an amazing job getting everything here for today and ensuring it's private and only us—well, us and our family.Standing, I look between everyone and feel scared."You can't say no now," my mum laughs. "Your face says you're planning to run. His idea to do it on an island is good, you have no where to run," she laughs and I nod."I'm not running," I'
