nce Belle had healed me they captured her and put her in a box that cancelled out her powers.

They then chained me to a chair,"Hey!I thought you were letting me go!"I struggled against my restraints.

"Shut up,Westbourne!You're not getting out until Ripper says you can go."Purley hissed.

Not even two days later,I was unchained and bathed,fed,and dressed in a black tux,then chained to the chair again."Come on,let's get going. We have a function to attend."Purley said.

"What function?"I eyed him wearily as two men came in and picked my chair up.

"Can't tell you,it's a surprise. "He grinned.

They carried me out. I rolled my eyes."Asshole."I mumbled. Whatever I had been expecting was crushed because right then,I was in the front row of a venue decorated for a wedding.

But that's stupid,who'd be getting married?

Before long Ripper appeared below the arch of white blossoms. Music started and Rey walked in clad in a wedding gown that hugged her torso,emphasizing the shape and size of her breasts,and flared out at the waist.

The dress was beautiful,a change from her usual attire. It actually made her look like a princess. She looked stunning.

If it wasn't for the fact that realisation struck,I'd have confessed my feelings.

SHE'S MARRYING RIPPER!

No sound left my lips. I couldn't say anything. I was only faintly aware of the ceremony taking place as everything faded but the ache in my chest. I knew the day she would marry someone and I honestly expected it to be someone worthy of her love. Not Ripper.

'What so you think you're worthy of her love?Did you not see how broken she was the day you told her the kiss was a mistake?' The voice in my head said.

The worst part was when she kissed him. My whole world shattered. She placed her hand on the back of his head and pulled him close to her. She stared right at me as their lips met before her eyes clouded over and fluttered shut.

(Aubrey's POV)

Kissing Ripper was nothing like I'd expected. He tasted like oranges. As if he'd been eating oranges before the...wedding...

His lips,so soft,moved in gently sync with mine. In fact so gently with mine that it felt like they weren't even on my lips and he pulled me closer,deepening the kiss.

I wasn't about to object because... I liked it... Kissing Ripper was something fobidden.

Ripper was a challenge. And with me being the wild card I am-not gonna lie- I liked a challenge. It kept me on my toes.

My heart broke at the pain and betryal on Alec's face as Ripper and I kissed. 'Get over yourself,Aubrey. He made it clear that you guys are just friends' I told myself. His expression motivated me.
