Elliana's pov

"you look gorgeous" Mille's eyes bulged out like sockets when she saw me crossing the bathroom door.

The line chiffon white dress perfectly hugged my curves. Giving me the soft feeling of the cloth. The full sleeves were made of net that covered my arms and the area above my breasts.
It was not revealing at all. After all it was Aiden's choice and he is quite possessive when it comes to me.

I looked myself in the mirror, raked my eyes up and down my body to check anything out of line.
The dress was beautiful. It had embroideries of small flowers all over the dress material and on the net.

My make up was simple with a red matt lipstick and my eyes were highlighted with golden- copper eye shadow and a thin layer of eye liner that shaped my eyes.
My white strapped heels and diamond earrings matched with my dress.
In total, I looked beautiful.

But there was this one thing that stood out over the others.

Flashback

"why? " I asked Aiden.

" can't you survive without asking questions? Do you trust me? " he asked looking at me.

I nodded and closed my eyes as he asked.
" open" he whispered into my ears tickling my hair.

I obeyed and gasped when my eyes met the beautiful thing hung on my neck.

The shiny platinum heart that dangled on the delicate chain hanged excellently on my neck.
I touched it lightly with my fingers and felt the slight depressions of the engraved flowers and leaves.

Tracing over the small heart, at the very bottom my finger came in contact with the initial 'F'  of 'forever'.

"how's it? " he asked looking in my eyes through the mirror.
Till then I didn't notice his hands around my waist.
" I bought it for you. Wear it always.  I have seen people giving you lustful looks, this locket is to signify that you're already taken, by me" he whispered the last part seductively, lips gracing my earlobe.

"it's beautiful"

Flashback over.

It is going to be the best day of my life. Like every other girl I have also dreamt of marrying the love of my life, who will love and cherish me till his last breath, who will be the only one to bless me with a little life of ours.

I am finally getting married to my love. 'Aiden Rochester'.
From today I will be only his. My heart, my soul, my mind everything will be claimed by him.
I smiled touching the necklace.

"let's go we're getting late" Mille said.
She is my best friend since college.

We exit the room and was met by my brother patiently waiting for us. He is one year older than me and might I say very possessive. You touch me and he'll break you bones.

"you look gorgeous " John complemented as his hand went around my waist.
" thanks"

He lead me outside.

"you look stunning sissy" my cousin Megan came beside me greeting me with a hug.
"thanks" I smiled at her.

"he's definitely going to eat you tonight" well that made me blush like crazy.
I lightly hit her shoulder, glaring at her.

"dad! " I screamed with joy when I saw him standing near the church entrance.
He just returned from Japan after completing his project.

" hey you look beautiful. I can't believe my daughter has grown so much and now she's getting married and leaving me." he pouted like a child and tears welled up in the corner of his eyes.

My mom died in an accident when I was 18. From then my father has changed. He has become more quiet than usual. And I know he's missing her. Mom always dreamt of my wedding, more than I did.

"I'm not leaving you dad. I'll just stay with Aiden in his house which is hardly 10km from our own house" I explained.

"hey you guys are wasting time the wedding is today only" John said.
Dad held his arm out and I clutched it with mine.

"here" Mille handed me a bouquet of roses.

I don't know if this feeling is nervousness or anything else I'm feeling in my stomach. As we neared the church door I became more nervous and excited at the same time.

As we entered the gates I was met with hundreds of eyes that were directed towards me.
I smiled nervously and tightened my hold on dad's arm.

Dad lightly pushed me forward for I stood frozen on my spot. My grip loosened when my eyes met a certain blue ones staring right through my soul.
He looked devilishly handsome in his three piece black suit with a white shirt underneath and hair pulled back that contrasted with his five 'o' clock shadow look.
His father stood beside him smiling at me, I have never seen him this happy after Aiden's mother died.

Aiden smiled at me and my heart melted at the same time.
He forwarded his hand as we reached and dad without wasting a moment put my small hand on his big one.

"you look beautiful" Aiden whispered.
"you don't look too bad yourself" I teased him and earned a playful glare.
Soon the wedding ceremony began.

" do you Elliana Grace take Aiden Rochester as your lawfully wedded husband? " the priest said.

" I do" I answered with a big smile.

"do you Aiden Rochester take Elliana Grace as your lawfully wedded wife? " he looked at him.

" I do"

"I now announce you husband and wife"
"you may kiss the-"

With that my veil was pulled off and I was pulled towards him, his lips crashing on mine in a very possessive and demanding manner.
He kissed me intensely, savouring the taste of my lips making me go out of my own senses. I immediately kissed him back with the same intensity.

He pulled back smiling looking at my now swollen lips.
People clapped and awed looking at both of us.

He stared at me with his blue glistening eyes that was squinted drastically because of our close proximity.
His hands were on my waist and my on his chest as we swayed to the rhythm of the song.
None of us spoke. We just moved with the beats staring into each other's eyes.

"I'll miss you princess" dad cried.

"I'll miss you too" I said through my tears and hugged him tightly.
I don't want to live without him.

"it's ok uncle you can visit her anytime you want" Aiden said which made dad's million dollar smile return.
"she's my princess Aiden. Take care of her like I did these years"
"I will" he smiled.

The crying session was finally over and now was the time for the wedding night.
Everybody teased me the whole day about it and I didn't nothing but blush deep red everytime.

I was sitting on the bed of our room waiting for him.
I heard the creak of the door and instantly knew who it was.

I heard his shoes thud on the floor. His slow steps gave me a tickling sensation in the pit of my stomach.
I looked up to meet his eyes.
My smile immediately vanished and an inaudible gasp escaped my mouth when I noticed his eyes that held anger and had a slight evil glint in them.

Seeing him looking at me like that scared me.
