"Because she acts strong and
tough they forget that she is
human so she has to smile
through the pain"

 The echoing voice grew louder and louder. "Emmy wake up." I jumped up out of my sleep, frantically looking around. I blew out a sigh of relief and ran my hand over my face. 

"Your mother wants to see you." I jumped in surprised at the sound of his voice. He stood there looking at me as I tried to control my breathing.

" Are you ok?" I nodded my head, barely paying attention to whatever he was saying. He moved from the door and came into the room closing the door behind him. 

"Hey calm down." He rubbed my shoulders in effort to calm me. How could I calm down when I just had a flash back of something I hoped I would forget forever.

Regardless I tried, slowly I started to gain control of my breathing and finally I calmed down. " I'm fine." I shrugged him off, hesitantly he left my room.

I got in the shower and got dressed in a black bodycon dress and headed to mama's room. I knocked before opening the door, to my surprise she wasn't there. Maybe she's in papa's office, I checked and she wasn't there either.

I went downstairs and spotted mama in the living room. She was in a hurry along with Aria and Vivian. I cleared my throat and they all looked at me.

"What are you doing?" I stared at her confused. She sighed in frustration and grabbed my hand. She led me outside in a hurry, Aria and Vivian rushed to keep up with her pace.

"Dios mío, today is your wedding and not only are you not ready but you managed to forget." Oh right. (Translation: My god)

We all went into a car and mama drove us to the mall. Throughout the entire ride they kept bickering about floral arrangement and what not. It seems as if they had forgotten that their will be less than 20 guests there. 

Everyone was happy but my mind was in a turmoil. What happened all those years ago, was stirring up again. "Come on cariño, let's find you a dress." I put the internal pain I was in and put on a smile.

We went from store to store until we found the 'perfect' dress. I just wanted to find a dress, any dress so that I could get this day over with, heck I would even wear just a regular pair of jeans if I could.

We got home and I silently went to my room to get ready. I was drawn out of my thoughts by a knock at my door. 

"Come in." Luciano walked into my bedroom and awkwardly stood at my door.

"Hey." He stated

"Hi." He fidgeted around before he cleared his throat and spoke up.

"Are you okay?" No I'm not. But I couldn't say that.

I put a smile on my face and answered his question. "I'm fine." He stared at me before sighing.

"I know you're not fine so just stop pretending." 

He stared at me for a few seconds before leaving. I finished getting ready and went downstairs to the limo which took me to the wedding venue.

The only people present were mine and Luciano's family and 3 other witnesses. "It's ok, all you have to do is walk in, stand up and say I do." I chuckled at Belle's logic , I stopped when I saw someone that I haven't seen in almost 6 years.

"Abuelo, you're here." He chuckled as he hugged me.(Translation: Grandpa)

"Of course princesa even if it's not real, I wouldn't miss it for the world." (Translation: princess) I chuckled and looked around for papa.

"Don't bother, I told him that I was walking you down the isle." Even if papa was a grown man, he knew that almost anything that abuelo told him to do he had to do it.

"Thank you abuelo, this is the best fake wedding I could ask for." We laughed until it was time for me to walk down the isle.

I stood in front of my soon to be husband, drowning out what the priest was saying. I felt someone nudging me in my side. I looked up to see Luciano looking at me expectantly. I looked at him in confusion. 

He mouthed the words ' I do' and a wave of realization came over me. I have drowned out almost everything. So much that I didn't even hear when the priest said the vows.

"I do." The priest blew a sigh of relief. This man must have seen a lot of failed weddings in his life.

"By the power of God vested in me I pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride." Luciano and I leaned in and instead of a sweet deceiving kiss, he held onto the back of my neck and pulled me in for a lustful kiss.

We broke apart when the priest cleared his throat. Turning around, I saw mama and Aria grinning smugly, Belle with her hand covering Sofia's eyes, Vincenzo and abuelo staring in shock and papa glaring at Luciano.

"Ladies and gentlemen I present to you Mr and Mrs Romano."
