Mordecai's standpoint I ran my palm over my face for the umpteenth time, sighing out loud. I glanced at my phone again, my heart skipping a beat. I was waiting for her call, the call that would end everything. She hadn't picked up on what was going on yet, but I knew she would even if Chelsea assured me that she wouldn't if no one told her. What if someone does? What if she decides to leave me? "She can't leave you, Mordecai, you two were never together." Aaron's words made sense, as usual. Logically, she had no right to question me, but there was nothing logistic about our relationship. Not when my heart belonged to her, not when my chances of getting her to fall for me were slim. And again, she knew The Bianchi Brothers? And even Vito Marchetti? How? I had no beef with them but I knew they weren't the nicest people to move around with. Was she really sleeping with them? All of them? No, Autumn is loose but not to that extent, right? Did I have the right to be jealous even if she d
Autumn's standpoint It's my wedding day! Hold it, I'm not paranoid or worried like most women would be. I was awfully comfortable with the whole situation. I was just sitting in front of my mirror while Gaia turned me into another version of myself. Mom panicked for me because she discovered my wedding dress got torn somehow. The evil person—which is Sinead—tore the dress apart with scissors and kept the dress back. I wasn't bothered because I sent Chelsea and Meredith to get my backup. I expected her to pull such a stunt. You see, I am like my parents. I'm always prepared. Remember that diamond dress I wanted to wear to Mordecai's birthday party? That was the one I was going to wear instead. The dress was even more unique than my original wedding dress. I mean, a dress made of diamonds is so worth it. I still had my crystalline heels with diamond pearls and my accessories. Sinead didn't know who she was dealing with. She caught me off guard once, she wouldn't do it again. "I am fi
Mordecai's standpoint "Her wedding dress got ripped to shred," Meredith whispered. "Oh my," the priest gasped. "Don't worry, Chelsea and I just came back from getting her a replacement. She will be here any minute," and so I waited, counting the seconds as it ticked away on my wristwatch. In exactly fifteen minutes, her party rushed in. I exhaled with relief. I thought this would be a disaster. Her godfather went out since he was to walk her down the aisle. She wanted to pick her mother's brother (Meredith's father) but her godfather took care of her and raised her instead of him so she went with him—not that her uncle mind. My eyes were fixed on the door, peering at it as the music came alive. The wedding meant a lot to me because it was real. One day, she would realize how real my love for her is and appreciate the effort our families and friends put into it. And even if she doesn't, she can get a divorce when I'm dead. "Finally," I breathed out as the door reopened to reveal m
Meredith's standpoint The atmosphere was soothing, the music was pleasant, even the mood was great. Autumn and Mordecai were the only ones dancing, swaying around as everyone watched them. Anyone could effortlessly feel their love taunting everyone's singledom, telling everyone that love was real. I don't think they realize how much they love each other. At least Autumn didn't realize how much she loved him. They were talking about something in a hush, something that was making Autumn blush profusely while he laughed like no man's business. I wonder what people discuss on their wedding day. Mom said I would know when I got there but still. I clicked my tongue and turned my attention to the yellowish liquid in my glass. I suddenly felt like the most single woman in the world. Will I ever get there? "Hey," I flinched, almost springing up from my seat. The person placed his hand on the bare small of my back and his lips were close to my ear, that was why I jumped. The dress I wore was
Autumn's standpoint The wedding was greater than I imagined, I even kissed Chelsea and Mom because of how perfect it went. Everyone gave a toast, most towards me and it made me cry. Chelsea was the one speaking now. "…and since then we have been the best of friends, the greatest of sisters. If I could tell you all Autumn has done for me, we won't leave this place for the next week. All I want to say is Autumn is the greatest and kindest human I have ever met, the sweetest and most considerate. She is everything any man would want, any mother would want for her son, so Mordecai, better treat her right. You have a pot of gold right there, so treasure her. I hope you have the best in your marriage, cheers." Everyone applauded. I stood up and went to hug her once again. I hugged her so tight she couldn't breathe. "Have I told you I love you?" "Have I told you I need to breathe?" She gasped. I giggled and let go of her. "Love you too, sweetie." "Ahem," someone coughed. I looked towards
Sinead's standpoint I angrily scrolled past the trending headlines. Every social media was sharing their wedding pictures and videos. Mordecai and Autumn were more popular than I expected them to be, especially with the tons of celebrities that attended the wedding. The celebrities came from Autumn who knew everyone and anyone, and from Jaxon and her makeup artist friend, Gaia. That woman was well known. I couldn't even enter the media in peace. My plans to sabotage the wedding failed. "Urgh!" I flung my phone on the cabriole sofa, huffing out in annoyance. Pam walked into the living room, her heels clicking against the floor. I was at Pam's. Tara lived with her. "Good morning," I greeted, "ready for work I see," "Yeah, yeah," she said hastily as she ran around looking for her phone. We all went clubbing to make me feel better but turns out I was the only one who didn't end up getting drunk. Tara and Anne disappeared with some random men, sure Anne would regret it later. "Hmm, so
Sinead's standpoint "You have money, you aren't poor and you have your parents yet you destroy yourself over someone else who is struggling more than you are. Do you think her life is candy paradise? Do you think she is lucky? She had to work and still work for her money unlike you who hasn't worked a day in your life. Autumn might get everything she wants when she wants it. She might have the beauty of a goddess and the body of a temptress. She might be married to a man almost every woman wants, but I do not envy her because it's her destiny and grace. Sinead, you cannot kill yourself trying to be like her because you are not her, you are you, you are Sinead Gladys West, not Autumn Glenda Newton; you are not the same person. You have your own destiny and she has hers. Your paths are not the same. You made foolish mistakes, one of them being Mordecai, but I also believe that he is not meant for you, the one for you is out there and might never find you if you remain like this—" "Pame
Autumn's standpoint The world felt so peaceful, I never wanted to wake up from my beautiful slumber. My wedding wasn't just heaven, our first night as a couple was divine. Like I promised him, we made passionate love, slow and steady and frustratingly good. Then we slept off in a tight cuddle, it was just too right. Well, I had to wake up at some point, especially with how empty the bed had been for hours. Cai left and wasn't back so it was getting me worried. After throwing my baggy shirt on, I wore his big shoes and made my way downstairs. I had to have at least one piece of his property on me. I even wore his socks and his belt even if I had no reason to. I needed comfort in case my darling husband left me in bed and left the house just like that. I smiled halfway down the staircase as I heard the sound of a hip-hop song blasting the house down. I jogged all the way down and followed the music to his gym. I opened the door to behold my husband working out. He was shirtless as he
