Everyone who was invited to the wedding were already in the church waiting for the bride to come. Since Adrien only invited his family, who was only Maya since Ruby was in the hospital and Audrey wouldn't dare to come, and closest friends, who were Edward and Stella since Jake would've been invited by Mari anyway, the church was packed by everyone who cared for Mari, which was basically everyone in the neighborhood even Nino came even though he didn't want to be there he would always support Mari.
Edward came in the church and stood next to Adrien since he was the best man. "Here comes the bride." He announced.
Soon the doors opened and Mari came in with Fu walking her down the aisle. Adrien became speechless seeing Mari in her wedding dress. It was a simple long strapless dress and yet Mari made it work. She had her hair down and curly. She wasn't wearing any makeup, and yet she looked amazing.
"That's Mari." Marlena whispered to Alya.
'She looks really pretty mom." Alya whispered back.
Fu handed Mari over to Adrien before going to his seat. The two just stared at each other with huge smiles.
Mathew opened his eyes slowly and saw his mom next to him preying. "M-mom?"
Elena looked at him with a smile. "How do you feel?"
"Everything hurts I had an accident in the motorcycle right?" His mom slowly nodded. "And Ruby? Is she okay?"
"She's also injured but she'll get better you got it worse. She's in this hospital too." His mom replied softly.
"Have you seen her?" Mathew asked.
She shakes her head. "I don't even know her, plus I didn't want to separate from your side."
"I need to see her." He tries to get up as his mom tries to push him back gently. During the struggle, he realised something. "My legs I can't feel them! It's like I don't have them!" He starts to panic that Elena had to call her husband to help her calm him down.
"Look what you get for getting on motorcycles." Audrey said to Ruby. She was visiting her with Lila. "Of course, Mari is to blame."
Lila nodded. "If Mari didn't introduce you to that guy you wouldn't be here right now."
"I don't regret meeting Mathew." Ruby replied. "I love him and he loves me."
"But will he survive?" Lila asked.
Ruby started tearing up. "Don't cry you must have a lot of stitches." Audrey said emotionless.
"When will the bandages be removed?" Lila asked. "Did they do plastic surgery?"
"I don't know." Ruby said overwhelmed. "I haven't asked Adrien."
"Your brother isn't affected by what happened to you. He's getting married with Mari." Audrey stated.
"But you must be happy to get her as a sister in law." Lila stated.
"Let's go Lila." Audrey said standing up and leaving the room with Lila.
Once Lila got home, she Isabella and Sabine went to the garden. "They must be getting married right now." Lila said sternly. "To think Adrien chose the same day we were supposed to get married to marry her."
"That man acted like the worst." Isabella added.
"Yes he left me in ridiculous." Lila replied.
"You find being left in ridiculous more important than the pain of losing him?" Sabine asked.
"I won't continue suffering because he dislikes me." Lila said harshly.
"Well you are fortunate for having that dominance over your feeling." Sabine stated.
"No one likes being made fun of Sabine. Adrien did this to Lila purposely." Isabella replied harshly. "That's why he's getting married with that delinquent."
Mari and Adrien put their wedding rings on each other with their smiles still on their faces.
"If there's anyone against this wedding between Adrien and Marinette speak now or forever keep your peace." Father Carlos said and of course no one spoke up.
"Adrian can't love that vague girl." Lila stated.
"Love doesn't look at status Lila. When your dad fell in love with me, I was just his secretary while he was a high-status lawyer." Sabine replied.
"Don't compare." Isabella said shaking her head.
"I'm not comparing I'm just saying that love goes beyond the physical and material, and even if it makes mistakes the heart always knows how to choose." Sabine replied.
"By the name God, I declare you husband and wife." Everyone stood up and cheered for the newlyweds.
Fu walked over to Mari and hugged her before taking out a necklace with a ladybug. "I got you this so you will always have luck no matter where you go." Fu said putting it around her neck.
"Thank you Fu." Mari said sweetly.
Fu then turned to face Adrien. "Make her happy because I'll hunt you if you don't."
Adrien chuckled before feeling a tap on his shoulder he turned to see father Carlos. "You owe me one make her happy." He said with a smile.
"Congratulations." A young woman told Mari as she looked at her not knowing who she was.
"This is my daughter Alya." Marlena explained.
"Oh she came back well thank you." Mari replied as they hugged.
Suddenly, someone shouted. "Hay shouldn't the bride and groom share a kiss?"
Everyone agreed and started cheering them on. Adrien looked at Mari with an eyebrow raised as she took a small breath and slowly nodded. He leaned down and kissed her softly.
Maya smiled looking at them and happy to have Mari as her stepmother, but she wondered what will happen when her mom came back.
Once Adrien and Mari got to LA Adrien took them to Edward's house there. Edward let them stay there for the honeymoon. "What do you think?" Adrien asked once inside the house.
"Its cool." Mari replied with a smile.
Ruby couldn't help but think about the accident making her tear up. Suddenly, the door to her room opened and a middle-aged woman walked in. "Ruby?"
Ruby looked at her. "Yes who are you?"
"I'm Mathew's mother." The woman replied.
"How is he?" Ruby asked concern.
"Well dear Mathew asked me to come. He told me that you are his girlfriend." Mathew's mom replied with a smile.
"Do they allow him to get up? Can he visit me?" Ruby asked curiously.
Adrien led Mari to the balcony to show her the view of the beach and ocean. "Look at the waves." Mari said amazed as she rubbed her arms.
"Are you cold?" Adrien asked.
"A little." Mari replied.
"We can go back inside if you want." He said getting closer to her.
"N-no, not yet." Mari said softly taking a step back.
"Don't fear me princess learn to understand the care I have for you. That I can be happy just with the sweet moments I have with you. I won't ask you to give me anything you don't want to. I promised, and I'll keep it." As Adrien spoke he put his hand on her cheek. "Of course, I do admit I have a desire for you."
"Thank you Adrien." Mari said with a smile. "So you won't force me to do anything?"
"No all I get is what you give me." Adrien replied.
"What if I don't because I'm embarrassed?" Mari asked curiously.
"Well even if you don't tell me by words you'll tell me by your eyes." Adrien stated softly.
"Actually no I don't want him to see me like this." Ruby said sadly. "Please tell him I'm not allowed visitors nor can I leave but tell him I'm okay and please don't tell him I have my face like this when my bandages are off, I'll go see him."
"Alright." She replied.
"Also tell him actually no I will." Ruby grabs a pencil before writing something in a notepad and handing it to her.
Elena took the note to Mathew, and he smiled as he read it. "She says that she loves me, and that she hopes that I get better soon. You didn't tell her how I am right?" She shakes her head. "If she finds out I'm like this without being able to walk she'll leave me. What would Ruby do with a disabled? She's young, and she would want to live I would just be in her way but what did you think she's pretty right?"
Adrien and Mari walked back inside the house. "You said that when I wanted you to kiss me; you would see it in my eyes right?"
"Yes I said something like that." Adrien replied with a smile.
"What...do you see now?" Mari asked softly. Adrien looked into her eyes and slowly leaned in giving her a soft kiss the start of an amazing night that they will have.
"Won't you answer me mom? Isn't Ruby beautiful?" Mathew asked again.
"Yes sweetheart Ruby is beautiful." Elena said lying since she has never seen how Ruby looks but she made a promise she had to keep it. "She seems like a good girl."
"She's pure I had many girlfriends, and no one can compare to Ruby that's why I love her." Mathew said with a smile.
"I would have called you but my headache from seeing that street rat going to the church dressed as a bride just went away." Audrey said frustrated over the phone. "They got married already."
"Well I imagine that with how she is she looked horrible as s bride." Lila said irritated.
"I hate to admit it, but she didn't look to bad the dress was simple, but she made it work." Audrey said sitting on her bed.
"And you didn't achieve anything with your threat." Lila said harshly. "Since Adrien still got married with Mari."
"Either way I'm still going to take Maya away from him. I already talked to my lawyer to make an order immediately. When those two come back they'll be suprise to see me and Maya gone." Audrey said with a smirk.
"I hope I haven't done a mistake. I think that if you put Marinette in Dr. Agreste path, it was for an act of love and forgiveness. Hopefully when Marinette knows the truth. She forgives him. Unite them in their love." Father Carlos preyed.
Ruby felt a tap on her shoulder, she opened her eyes to see Edward next to her. "Edward I was waiting for you to come."
"Why?" Edward asked curiously.
"I want to ask you some questions. What do I have in the face what happened to me?" Ruby asked softly.
"You suffered bruises in important parts." Edward replied.
"Will I be deformed?" Ruby asked concern.
"The doctor who operated you did all he could, and he did a good job." Edward replied.
"That's not what I asked you will I be deformed?" Ruby asked again.
"You need to wait until your bandages are taken off." Edward answered. Ruby sighed fearing he would say that.
Maya was playing with Teddy and ended up in her dad's room. "Well Teddy until she comes back you'll stay with me. Hopefully, they come back soon." What Maya didn't know was that there was a figure in the shadows watching her.
The next-day Lila wakes Isabella up. "It's 6 in the morning what are you doing up?"
"I couldn't sleep. You don't know how furious I am thinking that Adrien, and the street rat are together happily and laughing at me." Lila said irritated. "I don't know how I let a marriage like that slip away, but I need to find a new target, in case we are discovered."
"I have one Edward Adrien's friend." Isabella said. Lila smiled at the idea.
It was morning and Mari started having her nighttime again. She started breathing heavily and moving around. The dream was the same as always and nearing the end she started screaming but there was one thing that was different in the end Mari finally saw the face of the man, and it was...Mari opened her eyes and saw the same face looking down at her worriedly. Mari sat up and backed away panicking.
"Did you have the nightmares again?" Adrien asked concern.
"In my dream, I saw the face of the man, and it was you Adrien! It was you!" Mari yelled crying.
