Adonis' POV"Where is she?" My father, Kristov Stavrakos, came up beside me near the wedding arch, "it's almost an hour and she's still not here. Do you think she's coming?""She'll come. She has to be," I had been controlling my temper for the past thirty or forty minutes. One thing I really hated most was being kept waiting."I don't think so, son. Look, the people are getting impatient," he looked at the family, relatives, friends and colleagues of the Starvrakos and Pallis families, gathered for the wedding, "call her. Something must have happened."How can I explain to him that I can't because I don't have her number. After what happened on our first meeting, we never bothered to exchange numbers,"She'll be here.
