Still Bella's POV):

"Isabetta, Anthony...step forward, please." My Nonno says.

He then begins talking of the meaning of marriage. Aside from love. How we need to trust each other and all that. Then beginning to recite a prayer to the heavens to bless our marriage, this union, and our lives. Ending with Amen, everyone else echoing the word afterwards. Before he finally goes to the vows.

I quickly hand Esme my bouquet before turning back to Edward and taking both of his hands.

"Now, for the vows."

Feeling him lightly squeeze mine, silently apologizing, for what remains to be seen.

"Do you Isabetta Marina Swantorini take Eduardo Antonio Cullizio to be your lawfully wedded husband?" He asked, looking at me.

I feel my eyes tear up as I look into Edward's green ones, "I— I do." I say, thickly.

Even when angry at him, I have never been able to stop the love I feel for him. Looking now into his eyes, I can see the same feelings reflecting back at me, within his mesmerizing green orbs.

The realization almost causes my knees to buckle as we stare at one another mesmerized.

"….and do you Eduardo Antonio Cullizio, take Isabetta Marina Swantorini as your lawfully wedded wife?" He asks turning to look at Edward.

"I do." Edward vows, thickly.

I don't see who brings our rings but suddenly Nonno says, "Isabetta, repeat after me. With this ring I, Isabetta, thee wed. Eduardo, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and devotion." As he hands me the ring.

"With this ring I, Isabetta, thee wed, Eduardo I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and devotion." I say sliding the ring into his left ring finger.

"Now, you, Eduardo, say with this ring I thee wed. Isabetta, I give this ring as a symbol of my love and devotion." Nonno instructs.

"With this ring, I, Eduardo, thee wed, Isabetta, give you this ring as a symbol of my love and devotion." Edwards says, sliding the ring onto my left ring finger.

We continue to stare at one another mesmerized, as we listen to my Nonno speak.

"Is there anyone who knows any reason why these two should not be joined together, speak now or forever hold your peace." He says, his eyes flicking around the room. "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. What God and family have brought together, no man or woman can separate. You may now kiss your bride."

His shining eyes flick down to mine, silently asking me if it's alright, before I nod slightly in response.

With one last flick to my lips, he lowers his lips to meet mine. Causing us both to gasp.

The kiss sparks the hidden emotions I had been pushing down and away for the last six years, causing me to gasp again in surprise.

Everything around us disappears, until a throat clears to capture our attention, causing us to slowly separate, but not before he pecked me once more on the lips.

"Ladies and gentlemen meet the new Mr. And Mrs. Eduardo Antonio Cullizio…" Nonno announces to everyone.

We both turn and walk down the small aisle and out onto the foyer, as Marcus keeps taking pictures of us.

We both give small tentative smiles to the camera as my Nonna pushes out my Nani.

The moment her eyes landed on Edward and me, her light blue eyes lightning up as she stretched her hand towards mine, beaming at me.

I rushed to her side, bending down to touch my forehead to hers and closing my eyes, as I felt her small, frail, shaking hands reaching up to stroke my face.

"Cara, hai reso questa vecchia molto felice." She whispered, kissing my forehead. (My dear, you have made this old woman very happy.)

"Sono contento che tu sia felice Nani, lo adoro quando sei felice." I reply back smiling. (I'm glad you're happy Nani, I love it when you're happy.)

"Ho un'altra cosa da chiederti, cara." She said, patting my hand, as I straightened up. ( I have one more thing to ask of you, dear.)

"Che c'é, Nani?" I asked, warily. ( What is it, Nani?)

"Sii felice, dolcezza." She said, knowingly at me. (Be happy, my sweet.)

I nod at her in response, gulping thickly at her request as she tells Edward to come forward only to whisper something at him, then pat my Nonna Franny telling her she wishes to rest now.

As soon as she leaves, everyone else surrounds us ominously.

"Isa, I need to speak with you, please." He says taking my hand before he leads me towards my Nonno Felipe's office and locking it behind him.

As soon as we walked into the office, he turned back to me and looked me straight in the eye.

"First of all, I want to apologize for being so stupid. Then and now, for thinking that I knew what was best for you, and listening to my Nonno and father's advice and disregarding your feelings all together. I'm sorry. I know that I also hurt you after prom, I know I hurt you when I pushed you away while trying to keep you safe. I failed you. I broke my promises to you, trying to protect you and I'm sorry. I can understand if you never trust me again, and I'm done hiding things from you. I'm done listening to other people instead of you. I—" he says, pacing as he talks.

"Edward…" I cut off, causing him to turn to look at me. "I know you're sorry." I whisper, trying to calm him down.

"Do you?" He asks, unbelievingly.

"Yes, I felt it the moment you looked at me in the infirmary. Now...what is it that has you so on edge?" I ask, walking towards him, and taking his hand.

"Isa, I'm sorry, our Nonno's told me not to tell you but I have to, because I don't want to cause you anymore more pain, amore.." He says, as I press my fingertips to his lips to cut him off once more.

"Let's work our way towards the amore, yes? Now what is it?" I ask.

"It's your parents...they're alive." He says, causing me to gasp in surprise.

What?! No! No, no,no,no,no,no! This has to be a lie! It just has to!

"Isa," he whispers, trying to gain my attention as I paced.

How?! How is this possible?!

"How?" I whispered slowly.

"We ran into them as we were leaving the jeweler after we got your ring.." He explained.

"How do you know it was them..?" I asked, unwilling to believe him..

"Your Nonno sent someone to look and find them...it was confirmed within the hour…" he explained.

Why? How could they? They abandoned my brother and me, and let us think they were dead all this time?

"I'm going to change out of this and then you are going to take me out to look for them. They need to explain to us why they did this, even if I have to drag them back here myself… and if you don't, then fuck you, I'll go by myself..." I say, slamming the doors open, walking out of the office before rushing to my room.

"Isa? Isa?! What's wrong?" My Nonna Franny asks.

"Did you know?" I ask, stopping at the foot of the staircase and turning back to look at her.

"What is it, Principessa?" She asks confused.

"Nonna, my husband just told me that all the men here have been keeping a new occurrence from us...what is it, you may ask? Your son, Carlo, is alive!" I seethed, rushing up the stairs with someone hot on my heels.
