"Come on Axel, Let's go home," Cedric said
"I'm not ready to go yet"
"It's too cold to be out here," Cedric said
Axel finally gave in and decided it was best if he went home. The drive home was quiet, Cedric drove behind Axel making sure he was heading back to the mansion. The drive was normal; quiet yet at peace. Axel had finally admitted his thoughts. Cedric on the other hand felt sick and shaky. He didn't know what steps to take next but he sure wasn't going to give up on finding Alora.
Thirty minutes later...
They both reached the mansion and parked. The two separately exited their cars running back into the house. Rome was still there; he sat on the couch staring into nothingness.
"Rome" Lilith said
Rome looked up at Axel before getting up off the couch. There was a purplish tone in his knuckles, which looked like bruises from punching Axel.
"I don't want to declare war Axel," Rome said softly
Axel was taken by surprise.
"Oh, you don't?" Axel said
"No, I love Annika too much. I don't want to lose her because of stupid pride. Besides, I don't want to stress my father out even worse." Rome said placing his palm on his forehead
Axel nodded his head slowly in agreeance
"I know Alora wouldn't want this for us. I know she wouldn't she was a very peaceful person." Rome said
"You mean she is," Cedric said
"Yeah she is," Rome said
"Why don't we all go to the hospital to see Farrell?" Rome said
"Sure, I'd like that" Axel said
Two Weeks Later...
White Flowers, White Dresses, and most importantly white diamond rings. The day had finally come, it was Hunter's and Amira's wedding day.
"I'm so excited!" Annika squealed
Annika, Hunter, Amira, and Lizzie had returned to Paris a week ago in preparation for the wedding. Hunter and Amira insisted on having the wedding on the beach so Alora's presence could be there. No one was really in favor of Lizzie coming to Paris but no one trusted her being alone with the guards.
"How do you feel Amira?" Macy asked as she fixed Amir's hair
"I feel like throwing up," Amira said
"Oh gosh," Brigette said
"I feel happy, nervous, and worried all at the same time" Amira added
"It's normal to feel that way you know. It's a big day for you." Bruna said fixing Amira's blush
"Ahh ahh, Bruna don't think we forgot about you and your relationship," Lilith said
Bruna giggled
"Okay okay but we kept it a secret for a reason. It did happen pretty quick." Bruna said
"Okay, I'm done!" Bruna said
"You look so beautiful Amira!" Lilith yelled
"Come on! We must take a photo!" Bruna said
All the girls gathered around and took a group selfie.
"Beautiful," Bruna said
"Come on let's get going," Macy said
"I'm so nervous" Amira huffed out
"Don't worry!" Bridgette said
They all walked towards the beach from the beach house they rented out for the wedding day. The Men were already there and so were the guests who were seated. Farrell was also present; he left the hospital stronger than ever only five days after the incident.
The girls stood on the opposite side as the best men. The crowd finally quiet down as they awaited for Amkra to walk down the aisle. Hunter breathed in and our nervously as he stood waiting for his bride Amira. The music started and the rhythm of the ocean waves played in the distance. Hunter's eyes widened as he looked out in the distance at Amira. Dressed in a beautiful white gown she walked closer and closer to him.
Hunter's cheeks glowed red and he blushed. Amira looked like an angel. Hunter took ahold of Amira's hand. She grinned widely as she stared into Hunter's eyes.
"You look beautiful," Hunter said
Amira giggled at his compliment
"We are all gathered here today; to celebrate the love Amira and Hunter have for one another," Manuel said
"I remember Hunter and Amira always being in love ever since they were little and now they have confirmed to the world today that their love is strongest of it all" Manuel added
"Love!" Devine yelled from the crowd
Everyone chuckled
"Yes love sweetheart," Manuel said
"Do you Hunter Miller take Amira Archyra to be your lovely wife?" Manuel asked
"I do!" Hunter said
"Do you Amira Archrya take Hunter Miller to be your lovely husband?"
"Yes! I do!" Amira said
"I now pronounce you as husband and wife!" Manuel yelled out
Hunter and Amira sealed it with a kiss and Devine ran throwing white petals around the place. Everyone cheered and clapped happily in celebration. The wedding was something that felt so surreal. Everyone danced and ate at the beach as they celebrated Amira and Hunter's day of love.
Axel grabbed Lizzie's hand and pulled her into the middle of where everyone was dancing.
"Axel what are you doing?" Lizzie asked
"I'm dancing with you," Axel said chuckling
"You know everyone isn't fond of me," Lizzie said sounding worried
"Don't worry Lizzie" Axel said
"What do you mean?!" Lizzie said loudly
Axel rolled his eyes
"You're scaring me, Axel!" Lizzie yelled
"How am I scaring you?!" Axel yelled
Everyone stopped dancing and turned their attention to arguing Axel and Lizzie.
"You're acting strange!" Lizzie yelled
"Since you're so scared! Why don't you just die huh? You think we don't know your plans, Lizzie!" Axel yelled
Lizzie's eyes widened
"What? What are you talking about? What plans?" Lizzie said
"How you planned to get rid of me Lizzie! Planned to kidnap my baby after I gave birth! Planned to separate me and Axel so you could have him for yourself!" Alora yelled as she walked from the distance
Everyone gasped as they saw Alora dressed in a flowy white dress holding a gun towards Lizzie.
"What! How are you still alive?! There's no way my plans failed again!" Lizzie screamed
"You thought it worked but it didn't Lizzie. I put sleeping medicine in your drink and made Annika undress you so you thought we f*cked when we didn't. I pretended like I didn't care about Alora's whereabouts so none of you would suspect that I found Alora on my own! I f*cking love Alora! I'd die for her!" Axel screamed out loudly
Lizzie shook her head slowly in disbelief
"No! How! How could you?!" Lizzie yelled out angrily
"Easy! I'm Axel f*cking Santiago! Your little car stealing plan with that paparazzi dude was dumb! He told me everything and hiding Alora in the motel room was dumb! I found her and kept her safe in a secret house I bought. You have to die, Lizzie!" Axel screamed
Lizzie took off running
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Alora fired the firearm hitting Lizzie instantly. Lizzie fell to the sand coughing loudly as blood escaped from her mouth and chest.
"I–I just wanted a happy family–Me–Axel and Devine-but-I wanted money! -and-and power!" Lizzie said before taking her last breath
The team ran to Alora hugging her tightly.
"F*ck I missed you so much!" Lilith said
Alora smiled happily
"I think it's time to tell you the truth Alora," Axel said
"What's the truth?" Alora said
The team pulled away and slowly parted away. The Gravano's walked over to Axel and Alora.
"You're a Gravano Alora. Farrell and Irena are your birth parents and Rome is your brother. You were kidnapped as a baby and they've been looking for you ever since. I wanted to tell you earlier but I was scared and plus so many things kept on happening. Forgive me baby" Axel said
Alora didn't say anything for a while. Instead, she screamed out loudly holding her stomach.
"Ahhh! The baby!" Alora screamed
