We can see a girl around 23 sitting on a couch looking at her hands which was holding a ring of engagement.
The smile on her face was unable to explain, the air pods were plugged in her ears as she was talking to someone
"I can't explain the feeling Dan. I am feeling so many things at a moment. Happy, nervous, sad" she said.
"I know my love and this happens I am also nervous but I am not sad like you." he said from the other side.
"But after the wedding we will move to America so obviously I will miss my mom and dad that is why I am sad." She said while he chuckled.
"I know Alana but if you want we can take them with us they can live with us here." he said while her eyes sparkled.
"Really?."
"Off course I can't see you sad you know that right."
"But they will not agree." she said making a sad face.
"Now this is on you if you can manage to convince them."
"Alana, come on go to your room and sleep it's quite late and tomorrow is the big day, go and have some rest." Mom said coming down the stairs.
"Ya ya I was just going." Alana said.
"God you kids, can't you wait for a day after tomorrow you can talk how much you want right?." Dan chuckles from the other side.
"I think we should sleep now or else your mom will kill me." Dan said from the other side.
"Yeah you are right" She said.
"Good night my love"
"Good night" Saying so they hung up.
"Now go to your room and sleep tomorrow is a big day." she said sitting beside Alana
"I am gonna miss you both." Alana said putting her head on her lap.
"We will also miss you as you are the only child of us." she said.
"Mom, why don't you both settle with us in America?." She asked with a hope
"Are you mad Alana this can't happen."
"Why not Dan also want you to stay with us." She said getting up.
"Alana We can't do this, it's impossible we will stay here only, your dad has a business to look after." she explained while Alana Sighed.
"Ufff you are so stubborn"
"Yes Yes I am now go and sleep." She got up kissrd her mother’s cheek and left to her room.
Meanwhile In America
"Mom, what is this behaviour? You know I have an office to handle here and you want me to come with you just to attend a wedding? Are you serious?." The boy on a call said in anger.
"But Chris she is my best friend's daughter and also you used to play with her in childhood have you forgotten?." Her mother replied calmly.
"Mom it's 15 years old thing, I was a kid, I don't even remember her properly and I am sorry I can't come." He said sitting on couch loosing his tie.
"Chris please I promised her she wants to meet you and its just a matter of a day."
"Mom-" he stopped as the girl standing besides him snatched the phone from his hand.
"Hello aunty, how are you?." The girl asked.
"Oh Jannie I am fine, how are you doing?."
"Great! Aunty don't worry he will come I will make sure to send him." Chris shows her eyes and tried to snatch the phone but she stopped him showing hand.
"Are you sure?." His mom asked
"You know me right?." She said winking at Chirs while he sighed.
"Off course I know you well, thanks Jannie."
"The pleasure is all mine." she said and hung up.
"Jannie What is this behaviour? You know I can't go, I have so many meetings to handle." He said being frustrated. She held him by his neck pecking his lips.
"I am here to handle everything Chris, you don't have to worry, you go and enjoy, it's been so long since you were away from your parents they must be missing you." she said, trying to make him understand.
"You are right but you know I can't stay away from you." he said pulling her close.
"I also can't but You should go Please for me Look , I promised her." She said, showing her pleading look to melt him.
"Ok fine just for you." he said She smiled giving him a kiss of a few seconds.

Alana's POV
I am sitting in front of a mirror looking at myself. Today is the day finally, the 5 year Relationship of ours is going to get a name.
"Alana!" I turned around listening to mom's voice. She was in tears.
"Mom what happened? Why are you crying?." I asked to get up, panicked.
"You are looking so beautiful dear!." she said I sighed releasing a breath.
"Mom, you scared me." I said taking her in a hug.
"Anna, where are you-" Dad stopped as he looked at me.
"Alana?" He asked, not able to believe his eyes.
"Look, our daughter is looking so beautiful." mom said to dad. My cheeks were getting red.
"I am looking the same, my beautiful daughter." he too hugged me.
"She has grown so fast!" They were talking to each other and I was getting all emotional.
"Yes I can't believe this is my Alana, god bless you my child" dad said side hugging me again. I was in tears by now as I realised I am going far away from them.
"You made me emotional" I said, wiping my tears.
"Aww don't cry or else your makeup will ruin and Dan will get scare" mom said with a tease while I chuckled
“Mom!” I said and she laughed.
"Anna let's go down guests have arrive we should be there" he said while they both left.
**************
In the hall everyone was present there enjoying themselves while waiting for the groom.
"Anna?" She turned around listening the voice
"Oh Mary, finally you are here." she said, hugging her.
"Yes finally I am sorry for being late as you know Chris he takes time to get ready so..." Mary said.
"Chris? Is he really here?." Anna asked, looking around.
"Yes there he is, Chris!" Mary called out while he came near them.
"Hello Aunty, how are you?" He asked while she hugged him.
"I am fine Chris, how are you? It's been so long since I have seen you." Anna said.
"Yeah you know first I was busy with studies then business." he said trying to end the conversation as soon as possible.
"Yes yes my son has become very hardworking" Ronnie, Chris's dad spoke with a tease.
"Dad!"
"Ok ok you go and enjoy." He wanted to say something but just nodded and left.
"He has grown, A mature man." Anna said.
"Yes, Alana as well. I can't believe we came to her wedding, And you know what I always thought I would make her my daughter in law but as I got to know that she is in love with someone else I dropped the plan" Mary said expressing her feelings.
"I thought the same but as It was Alana's choice so I had to accept." This time it was Mart Alana's dad.
"Yeah" The conversation continued.
***********
Back to Alana's pov
It's been an hour I am sitting here waiting for them. I was calling him but he wasn't replying maybe on the way.
"Alana!" I turned around to see Stella. She is my cousin as well as friend.
"They here?." I asked for the 20th time.
"No! Alana mom is calling you she said maybe they are stuck in traffic and you know everyone is asking about you and him so better you come down." She said While I nodded. I came down taking slow steps as Stella was walking beside me.
"See the bride is here!" I listened to the voices all over. I met everyone one by one!
"Aww Alana my dear child you are looking so beautiful" I turned around listening to the voice.
"Mary aunty I am so glad you came I was waiting for you." I said, hugging her.
"Of course How can I miss this, My daughter's wedding?" she said while I smiled.
I turned around searching for mom, I looked at them as dad was also there, but the expressions on their face tensed me. I went towards them as they were reading some kind of a paper.
"Mom, Dad?." They hide the paper instantly.
"Alana dear what happened?." They asked acting normal but I know something is fishy.
"What are you hiding?."
"Nothing to worry about it's just-" I snatched the paper from her hand. It was a letter.
To Alana,
I am sorry to say but I can't do this, yes I know I was the one who proposed you to marry me but as today is the day I lost all my strength, I just can't do this I am still not ready. I hope you will understand me. I can't face you, I just can't. I am sorry…
~Dan~
I was shocked, I lost my balance but someone held me.
"Watch out!" He said I looked at him, he was a stranger.
"Chris, please take her to her room." mom said while he nodded.
Alana's POVHe made me sit on bed"Are you okay?." He asked."Hmm" he gave me a glass of water. I drink it in one go."Alana!" I listened to Stella's voice.She came near me. I hugged her tightly, crying hard."I should go, take care." saying so that guy left."Why did he do this to me? He was the one who proposed to me then why?." I was sobbing."Alana, he was never ready; he proposed to you because your mom wanted you both to get married." she said."But still he could have shared it with me?" The conversation continued…**********It's been an hour since I have been sitting alone. Dad is still trying to contact him."Alana he is here." I looked at Stella shockingly as she came running to me."What? Are you serious?" I was not able to believe it. How did this happen suddenly?"Yes he is here, he apologised to everyone as he pranked us." She said and I ran out "Slow down" she added. How can he prank on such a big day and such a cheap prank.I came down to see him sitting on the chair
Alana's POVI woke up with a heavy headache as last night was full of tears. I still can't believe I am Mrs. Salvatore not Richard. All my dreams and everything I thought about us is being ruined. I picked up my phone dialling Dan's number but it was switched off. I was going towards the washroom to change my dress but…"Where is my suitcase?" I looked around everywhere but there was nothing. I am still in a bridal dress.I came out going towards his room as I was going to enter. He suddenly opened the door. I collided with him and lost my balance. He held me before I could fall. He looked at me for a few seconds. "Can't you see?" He asked, irritated. Am I going to live like this only?"I am sorry." he made me stand in my place. "What do you want?" He asked."I am not able to find my suitcase. Do you know where it is?" I asked."I forgot to pick it up from the plane I will tell my guard till then-" he stopped his sentence and went inside his room, after a few seconds he came back.
Alana's POVHe doesn't know? How is this possible Jannie is his girlfriend but still he doesn't know about Dan?"You don't know?" I asked."Alana, stop lying." he said."Why Would I lie?" "Dan lives in America, not in London." he said."Yes I know and I was supposed to live here as well after the wedding." I told."Alana, you are still lying." he said. I sighed."Why do you think I am lying? Tell me one specific reason." "Because he is married." I was shocked. "What?" "Yes he is married and he has 2 kids." I was beyond shocked. This can't be the truth. I lost my balance but he held my hand pulling me towards himself. I sat on bed freeing myself from his grip. "This can't be the truth." I was blabbering again and again."This is the truth. You don't believe me, wait!" He said taking out his phone. He showed me a photo and I was all broken. It was him with a bridal. "5 years! Fucking 5 years I given to him and he all this while he was lying to me he betrayed me how could he?" He
Alana's POV"I never expected this from you." saying so she left the room."Jannie stop!" He stood up from me. Wearing his pants he ran behind her. And boom, reality hit me hard.What have I done? No this is a dream, no nightmare! This can't be the truth. How can I give myself to the person I want divorce from? What the fuck actually happened to me? Wearing my clothes I left the room. They were arguing downstairs. I stood there only to listen to their talks."Baby please listen to me it's nothing like you are thinking-" "Wow just wow, I just saw you having sex with a stranger and you are saying it's nothing like that? Are you even serious? What you think I am a fool?" She shouted in his face. "Jannie, please at least let me explain-" "I don't want any explanations Chris, You betrayed me. You fucking betrayed me." She pushed him hard. She was again leaving but He held her hand. "Everyone has the right to explain Jannie please let me know once, please." he pleaded. He really love he
Alana's POVThe next morning I woke up, freshened up and went down to eat something. It was when my eyes fell on him. He was sleeping on the couch on his stomach. I went near him. It's so cold here. Why is he sleeping here? "Chris?" I called out but there was no reply. "Chris?" Still no reply.I went back to my room bringing a duvet with a pillow. I rested his head on the pillow properly covering him with the duvet. I was going towards the kitchen but he held my hand I looked at him but he was still sleeping"Please don't go, Jannie." he said.Here comes Jannie again. I sat there until he left my hand. He was looking so cute I must say. I have never noticed him properly but as now he is sleeping he is looking quite cute. "Chris?" I tried to wake him up again."Hmm." he responded."Wake up, it's 8:25 already. Don't you have any work?" I asked. But the actual reason for waking him up was my hand. I wanted to free it."Hmm." "You are getting late!" "Why do you want to throw me out, A
Alana's POVI lay down in my place turning off the light. I closed my eyes but the sudden knock on the door brought me out of my trance. I turned on the light and went to see who it was but there was no one there! I looked here and there but no one. I must have misunderstood. I went back to my place but before I could lay there was again a knock. I again went to see but still no one. What is going on? "Who is there?" I asked and went out a bit but no response. I came back and closed the door. I stood there for a moment and yes again a knock. I immediately opened the door. Still no one? I went out towards Chris's room. I knocked on the door but I guess he is sleeping. "Chris!" I knocked again. The door was open. Should I go inside? Whatever. I opened the door and entered inside. He was watching something on laptop while his ears were covered with a headset. "Chris?" I called out but he was busy. I went near him and fuck he was watching porn. Shit I should have Knocked. He suddenly
Alana's POV"But how can they just reject?" "What have they written?" He asked. I read the paper again. "There is no specific reason for the divorce." I said. "They are right" "How can you be so relaxed Chris?" "Because I already knew this would happen." He said."And how did you know?" I asked folding my arms."I just knew." He said."Chris, I am not getting this. Why do you want to continue this relationship? This divorce will give you profit as well. After divorce Jannie can come back then why are you doing this?" He sighed."Alana I know what I am doing and I Haven't forced you right? I gave you the permission to file a divorce and About Jannie I know she is never gonna come back even after divorce I know her very well." he said. "What type of love is this?" "Our love is like this only but Alana try to understand I know you hate me you don't want this relationship but can't you just give it a chance like I am giving? I know it's not easy to replace someone from your heart b
Chris's POVI should have closed the tab but look at her she shouldn't have watched right. It's my thing after all. "Alana" I called out but she was wearing both headphones.I slowly bent down to take out one earphone from her ear and she was shocked. She will be as she is being caught red-handed. "You came back?" She asked, closing the laptop with a thud. "I guess yes but what are you doing?" I asked. "Uhmm I...I was...watching a movie" she said or I say sorry she lied. "Oh movie good," I said, acting like I hadn't seen her. "Yeah Should I tell Maid to prepare the table?" She asked and I nodded. "Ok sure" she left in a hurry While I laughed at her actions. “Oh, Alana, why are you so cute to make me fall in love with you all over again? I sometimes want to tell you about my feelings but can't. Alas I have to wait.”Alana's POVI don't know what got into me that I started watching that stuff. I still can't believe I was watching porn how can I? We were sitting at dinner eati
