[Ava]"This is so perfect!" My mother exclaimed as I tried on my wedding gown. My heart was racing as Elise helped me out with the back."Wow!" Ashley smiled from where she was, making me bite down on my lower lips.Do I look that beautiful?"You should see for yourself!" Elise's eyes shone with excitement as she held my hand and guided me to the long mirror. My heart was pounding fast with each step I took.I walked in front of the mirror, and my mouth instantly hung open! My face flushed deep crimson as I stared at myself. It was everything I pictured. The dress hugged my body perfectly. The lacework on the bodice was delicate, just the way I wanted it. The sweetheart neckline framed my face with subtle elegance, soft but confident. The shimmer in the fabric captured the light in just the right places.I couldn't take my eyes away from the woman in the mirror. My eyes burned as everything began to blur, and before I knew it, tears were rolling down my cheeks."This is beautiful!" I
[Ava]It was finally the D-dayMy heart was pounding as Ashley and my mother walked in and out of the room, trying to put things in order. Elise and her team arrived with my wedding dress a few hours ago. We were currently in one of Gabriel's Mansions in his beach house.I haven't seen him since the last time he came for dinner at my house. I tried sneaking out to at least catch a glimpse of him when we got here in the morning because I knew that he was currently in the other Mansion on the east side, but Ashley scolded me before I could make a move with the, 'No, you can't see the groom until you walk down the aisle,' she even had to take my phone so I wouldn't call Gabriel and try sneaking out again I even thought he would be the one to bring Elma to us, but Jaxon had brought her to the side of the mansion we were in.The make-up artist was done with my makeup, and the stylists were still trying to get my hair in order. They were taking their precious time to make me look goodMy g
[Ava]The moment the lace settled against my skin. My heart began pounding so hard. My wedding dress hugged me all in the right placesI took a deep breath as I stepped out of the partition standing in front of the large mirror. My breath hitched as I caught a glimpse of my reflection. Everything else faded for a moment.The shimmer in the fabric caught the light perfectly, and the sweetheart neckline framed my collarbone with delicate confidence and elegance. A gold necklace with a round-cut diamond sat perfectly against my skin, subtle but stunning like it was made for this momentMy eyes moved down my body, and my heartbeat quickened. This is beautiful! This is!!"You look..." My mother's voice dragged me out of my thoughts, her voice cracking as she paused standing beside me "Perfect!" She mumbled softlyWhen did she come in? She walked closer to me, holding my hand and spinning me around to face her.Her gaze traced my body from head to toe. She stared back at me and I noticed t
[Gabriel]The moment I saw her step out, everything else fadedMy wife-to-beMy breath hitched as my eyes remained focused on her. The sight of her was stealing every air from my lungs, and for a long breathless moment, I thought my heart had stopped.My gaze swept across her body. She looked...unreal like she was crafted out of a magazine cover. Damn!!!The dress hugged her in ways that made my heart race. Every curve, every delicate inch. Heavens!!The shimmering lace was catching the sunlight, casting a soft golden glow around her as if the universe itself couldn't help but admire her. Her lips were slightly parted as she stared at me... Fuck!!! My heart was pounding so violently that I swore everyone could hear it. Each step she took made the weight of this moment press harder against my chest. She was mine... Mine to be!! It was truly happening!Just as my eyes drank her in, they flickered down to my little girl walking in front of her, holding her small bouquet with both hands
[Ava]“Logan!!Logan!!” I screamed, my voice echoing through the hallway, I know you can hear me! You've started again right, Logan!! Give me my AirPods or else I'm going to go over to your room and pack all your new clothes, Don't dare me,”“You're my elder brother for crying out loud!!! I should be borrowing from you, not the other way round,” I screamed at the top of my voice as I slowly climbed down the stairs.“I hope this is not one of your games. You're hiding right, I'm going to catch you, and if I do, you're dead Logan you are!!!”I stormed into the kitchen, my heart racing with frustration. But my anger vanished the moment I saw him. Gabriel, my brother's best friend. The man I'd been secretly lusting after for years. The one I'd been too afraid to face since I moved down here in Switzerland, fearing my feelings would be exposed.And now here he was standing in front of me, shirtless, his chiseled body glistening with a bit of sweat that made him look like he just walked out
[Ava]I watched as he walked in, gently coming towards me, his eyes burning with a passionate yearning , I don't know if I was seeing right or if it was my imagination.But I wasn't ready to make him think I'm such a loose girl that is lusting over her elder brother's friend who is about eight years older than her.I was about to tell him to leave, when his voice broke the silence, reducing the tension in the room.“Here, Logan said he has been calling you and you're not taking his calls,” he said, handing me his phone while he unmuted it.What was I thinking, that he would want to have a thing with me? I am such a fool“Hey little demon, why are you not picking up your call?” My brother Logan screamed on the phone.“Brother to a little demon, do I owe you any explanation on that, meanwhile I've warned you, Logan, stop calling me that name, I swear one day I'm going to behead you,” I screamed back at him.I looked at Gabriel with my side eyes and noticed how his lips curved up to a sm
[Ava]I shut the door immediately, staring at the door frame like a lost sheep. I felt my legs weaken. Gabriel was stepping out of Logan's bathroom with nothing on his body, his eyes locked in mine, he didn't even bother to close the monster that he had down there that was staring back at me.I was able to put some strength back in my legs and rush back upstairs, I was still storming up the stairs when I felt footsteps following behind me, I increased my pace, my thoughts swirled in a jumbled mix of emotions, making it hard to focusWas he mad at me that I saw him naked? Shouldn't he have locked the doors, knowing he's not the only one in this house? I would have just respected my brother when he said I should always knock on his door before barging in.What Gabriel had down there was not what I was expecting or imagined, it looked way huge, fuck…I was about to push my door open when a hand held me back and pinned me against the wall with my hands raised above my head.“Why are you ru
[Ava] “Gabriel,” what is this? Logan asked him stretching the phone to his face, his eyes scanned the item and he grabbed the phone back from Logan and then suddenly turned towards me I'm very sure it's the test Gabriel sent me, but I was confused as to why Logan wasn't looking in my direction. I picked up my spoon which fell earlier and started picking on my food slowly while still trying to understand the situation. “I thought you weren't seeing her again, how come you guys are still lovey-dovey on the phone,” Logan finally said. Gabriel's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed on him with a cold intensity that made me wonder what was going on, he turned his eyes back to his phone without responding to him, but Logan continued. “So she was the one you were with on Friday night that made you avoid my calls huh?” he furrowed his brow at Gabriel and smirked. I felt a knot tightening up in my chest, he was actually texting some other girl and here I was feeling excited that he kissed me, I

[Ava]We were all seated at the dinning, already eating. My gaze shifted to the last message I sent Gabriel. He was supposed to be here by now, I wonder what is holding him up!!I dropped my phone back on the table, and immediately the door creaked open, I didn't need anyone to tell me who it was"I think he's here!" I mumbled and stood up heading to the sitting room. My eyes snapped towards the door and my legs halted, my mouth hung open as I stared at my man."The Fuck!!" The word slipped out of my mouth as my eyes swept all over Gabriel's. He was dressed in a crisp white shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, displaying those strong forearms I knew so well. The shirt hugged his broad chest just right, and the dark slacks made his legs appear even longer. I gulped down, my eyes trailing to his neatly styled hairDamn, this man is beautiful.Elma's eyes met mine, and her eyes lit up instantly as she exclaimed, running towards me."Ava!!" My little girl broke free from Gabriel's gra
[Ava]"I can't believe it's five days to your wedding baby!" Ashley was beaming as we arranged the table. I had to leave Elma and Gabriel last night to come to my house because right now, the woman after my heart just arrived in Zurich this afternoon, and Logan had gone to pick her up. I had Ashley help me out as we prepared something for herIt's been three years since I last saw my mum and I can't wait to see her"I'm so excited and nervous at the same, can't believe I'll be a wife in a few days," my lips stretched into a smile as I took the wine and headed to the dining table to set it down"I can't wait!" Ashley said"Me too!" I smiled as we arranged the dinningAshley let out a deep breath, stretching her hand above her head. "We finished earlier than expected!" Ashley said"All thanks to my best friend!" I stepped back taking another look at the dinningMy eyes darted to my pant pocket as my phone vibrated. My lips curled into a smile, I knew who was calling!I took my phone out
[Gabriel]My heart swelled with joy on how my daughter and my princess were interacting They were currently in the kitchen as Elma had to beg Ava that she wanted to make a vanilla cake after she was done rejoicing about her wedding.I had discussed the wedding with Elma after her therapy session. She was so excited that she asked if she could join us at the wedding and wear her princess gown. I had told her that it would only happen if Ava agreed!I tilted my neck as the ringtone of my phone buzzed, snapping me out of my thoughts. I picked it up, pressing it on loudspeaker as Logan's voice boomed out."Gabe!" Logan called out, and the shuffling on his end told me where he was. He had a project he was working on that was taking a lot of his time "What's up!" I growled out, tilting my neck from side to side."I called my sister, but she's not taking my calls, where is she?" "Downstairs, with Elma in the kitchen!" A chuckle broke through from Logan's end. "Are they already bonding so
[Ava]My heart was pounding faster with each step we took into the mall. Ashley had already grabbed two of the pregnancy test strips before we even began shopping for other necessities. I was occasionally zoning out with the what-ifs that filled my mind.What if I'm pregnant? I can't help but wonder how happy Gabriel would feel. He told me not to worry, but that doesn't mean I don't want to have a child with my man! Yes, we already have Elma, but giving her a sibling will not be so bad, will it?~~~~~~~~I parked my car in front of Ashley's apartment as we made our way inside. I had to stop at Ashley's house to take the test"Ash, I seriously feel like I shouldn't do this, I mean, I still have this feeling it will turn out negative and..." Ashley held my hand, cutting me off."Listen, Ava, even if it ends up being negative, it's fine, you just have to check and make sure, so take a deep breath and go ahead.""Okay!" I muttered, biting down on my lower lip as I walked into the washroom
[Ava]"When do we set the date for the wedding, I don't think I can wait anymore, I want you to be my wife already, and has the designer for your wedding dress reached out to you?" Gabriel asked, a soft smile playing on his lipsI bit down on my lower lip, my gaze darting nowhere in particular. "She did reach out to me but I've been occupied to visit. You tell me when do you have in mind for the date?" I asked Gabriel, and he shifted me, making me lie on my side with my eyes fixed on him."I will say tomorrow or next because that's how fast I fucking want to wife you up!" Gabriel groaned, his hand trailing at my back, giving my ass a gentle squeeze. I bit back a chuckle, biting down on my lower lip"Two weeks from now is fine, and I want something simple with just family and friends," I said softly watching Gabriel's brows crease together I just wanted something very simple"Is that want you want?" Gabriel asked"Yes something simple!" My lips curled into a smile as Gabriel nodded, d
