LIZZY POV

My husband and I were called out to do the first couples dance. I still find it hard to believe that today was my wedding day and I was getting married to the love of my life.

He was finally my husband, I was beyond proud to call him mine.

He held my waist while I put my arm around his shoulders as we danced, staring at each other's eyes, lost in our own world.

“You look so beautiful” he said

“You've told me a thousand times, husband” I teased

“I certainly love the sound of that” he smiled

He looked so handsome, his shiny black hair, pearly white teeths and a stunning jawline with his ocean blue eyes.

It's hard to believe he was a man in his 50s

“Forever with you by my side sounds like heaven” he said

“When did you get so poetic” I laughed

“Ever since i saw you and fell in love with you i think” he replied

“Mmm nice you're also cheesy I see” I smiled

    BRIELLE POVThe next morning, after I finished checking my bags to see if I had everything packed.I got dressed and put on a comfy outfit: grey flared joggers and a white short sleeve crop top, packing my hair in a slick ponytail.I opened my laptop as I was eating breakfast and checked my emails and I saw some big news.A huge beauty brand emailed me that they were interested in working with me.

    MATEO POVI went to the house earlier to check on the bride and bridesmaids as instructed when the butler informed me that they had already left. I was about to turn around and leave when I heard a loud curse word.. I went to go check and did not expect to see her.I stood at the door staring at her as she was focused on whatever she was doing on her phone, she didn't notice my presence.I stood silent and watched her, looking at her dress and the way the fabric clings to her in all the right ways, flowing like it was made just for her. The color, rich and vivid, makes her skin glow and her eyes brighter.Her hair, softly framing her face, catches the light and I notice the smallest details- the light blonde highlights in her hair that goes with the gold fabric of her dress, the curve of her neck, the way her hands rest against her side, the faint rise and fall of her breath.I should say something. Anything. But the words won't come. Instead I stay where I am, watching her in the qui

    BRIELLE POV “Need any help?” I turned around and saw him. He stood tall, his presence commanding without effort, the sharp blue suit perfectly tailored to his frame. The fabric hugged his broad shoulders and defined biceps. His jet black hair was impeccably styled, the glossy strands catching the light as if sculpted to perfection. He looked like someone who turned heads without trying, even if he had ragged clothes on. I was starting to wonder if all his suits were tailored just for him because they always fit him so well. “How are you here?” I asked, looking up to him. Why was he always present at my worst moments? I watched as his eyes swept over my entire outfit, from my face down to my legs. A faint smirk flickered across his lips, there for only a fleeting second before it disappeared. “You look…” “Save the insults, i really don't care and already have much concerning matters at hand” He stayed silent, somehow I wished I kept quiet and listened to what he

    BRIELLE POV I entered the building and tapped my employee ID on the security gate which enabled me access into the office. The employees stared at me, whispering and gossiping as they watched me pass I’m not going to say I don’t know the reason why, the reason was clear, my outfit. I wore pink office pants paired with a white cropped long sleeve button down shirt, red stiletto heels and my coach tote bag hanging on one arm. I had no idea if wearing such colours were allowed and I didn't care. I saw some colleagues on their phone, looking intently at it. I walked all the way to my office. The telephone rang “Can you please come inform me of my schedule for the day?” Mateo asked after picking the phone. I literally just entered the office, I haven't even had a moment to breathe or sit and he was already calling me in for work. After a few hours into the day. My phone rang and Ryan was the one calling. For an Aesthetic nurse, she seemed to have a lot more time on her
