There was only ten days left until the wedding. We were finishing up the wedding dress. I was having it fitted one last time. I looked at myself in the mirror. I was beautiful. The dress was beautiful. I bit my lip, happy. This week was stuffed full with activities. I constantly walked around in my shoes. I broke them in quickly. Everything was taken care of, I only needed to visit the spa and get my hair done. Lissa and I were close like Mia and I. Dimitri and Tasha were constantly fighting. I was happy about that. My parents were trying to talk to me, but I kept ignoring them. I sent them an invite to the wedding, but I doubted they would come.

"Rose?" we were on our way to shop for the honeymoon. I looked at them. "Are you happy with Adrian?"

"Of course." I smiled.

"Well…" they looked at each other. "You and Dimitri have gotten close." Lissa said. Dimitri and I ended before we even started.

"He's my best friend." I said simply.

"Rosie." Mia looked at me like I was stupid. "Are you sure?"

"I've been sure about Adrian for the past five years." I assured them. "Come on… I need gear for the honeymoon, he won't tell me where we're going." I tugged them into a lingerie store.

They dropped the are you sure conversation and actually help me plan for the honeymoon. It took a few hours but I got quite a few outfits. We were on our way home when they decided to talk again. Lissa's phone rang. "Hello?" Mia was driving and I was staring out the window. "What do you mean?" I watched her. "She did what…?" I heard murmuring on the other end. "It's because of who?"

"Liss, everything okay back there?" Mia asked. Lissa nodded.

"No, he can stay with us." She assured. "No, I don't think that's a good idea." She sighed. "Fine." I watched as she angrily hung up the phone.

"What happened babe?" I turned to face her.

"Tasha just cheated on Dimitri and now he has to stay with us." I frowned.

"I told you that diseased cow was trouble." She laughed.

"We told him that too, he said that she would never mean what his true love meant to him."

"Oh, well sucks for her." I turned to look out the window.

"Rose?" I didn't look at her.

"Hmm?" she sighed.

"He said who is true love is…" I closed my eyes.

"Spill Lissa…" I warned.

"It was you."

-X-X-X-

We were at the day spa, day before the wedding. I should be thinking about Adrian… but I can only think about Dimitri… one of my four bridesmaids, or well in his case bridesman. I chuckled on the inside, I cracked myself up. We were at a hotel for tonight, Lissa, Mia and me. We had an all day spa and then we would retire to giant fluffy beds. Adrian texted me every five minutes. I would return the text. Eventually Lissa just took my phone. I loved today. We were having so much fun.

"I'm tired." Mia whined. She jumped onto my back. "Carry me monkey." I laughed.

"I'm the one getting married and I'm carrying you." She giggled. Lissa unlocked our door and let us in. Victoria was with Dimitri. Victoria was my other bridesmaid, she was Dimitri's little sister. My flower girl was my little niece Kina. She was adorable and loved her dress. The ring bearer was Adrian's nephew, Nathan. The kids were adorable. "This place is gorgeous." I dropped Mia, she oofed. I ran and jumped on the bed. "So comfortable." I moaned.

"Such a freak." I laughed. We retired for the night. We slept long and peacefully… okay they did. I was up at four in the morning. I took a long hot shower, letting my body absorb the heat. It was six when they woke up. "ROSE!" they screamed into the door.

"I'm in the shower, hold on." I shut the water off and got out of the shower. I wrapped the towel around me and opened the door.

"God. How long have you been showering?"

"Two hours." Mia entered the bathroom. She was the quickest showerer alive. "Lissa… I'm going to get dressed, the limo will be here in five hours." She nodded. "There's a room rented across the hall filled with all our things. I'll be over there." She nodded. "You can shower there if you want." I opened the bathroom door. "Mia, we'll be in the room across the hall, come over when you're done."

"Got it." We left the room. The other room was packed full of stuff. I blow dried my hair while Lissa showered. My hair was naturally curly. It was beautiful. Once I got done, I curled my bangs to match the rest. Mia came in as I stood up. I was in black under garments with a black garter around my thigh. "Oh, lookin hot." She squealed. Her towel was wrapped tightly around her. Lissa came out just then too.

"You're looking sexy." I laughed.

"Come on. Put on under garments." I ordered. They saluted me and went at dressing themselves and blow drying their hair. We didn't dare get into our dresses yet. We still had three hours by the time we were done with hair. They both wanted to do my hair. They put on black eyeliner and then blue and purple eye shadow with silver sparkles, and then light pink lip stain and a light blush. That took an hour. "Do your makeup, I'll wait. I don't think they can start the wedding without the bride." They laughed and got to work. They were done with an hour to spare. It took an hour for me to shove them into their dresses and then me into mine. My breasts were almost spilling over the delicate lace. Lissa's phone rang.

"Hello?" she took pictures with her camera. She was a quiet a minute. "No, we are about to head to the limo, why?" she went quiet again. "You're sure?" she sighed. "Okay." She hung up.

"What's wrong?" she shook her head.

"They can't find Adrian's corsage." I frowned.

"That's wonderful." I muttered. "Guys are so stupid."

"Agreed." They cheered in unison. I smirked.

"Let's go. We're officially late now." I looked at the time. We were a half hour late. We headed out, locking the room's door. We entered the elevator, me hiking my dress up to avoid dirt. We walked out, me dress hiked up. Mia and Lissa in back, holding up the back of the dress. We walked to the limo, sliding in. I took in a deep breath, my last few moments as being single.

-X-X-X-

Adrian was late. I tapped my foot angrily. I was pacing as Lissa tried to sooth me. Everyone was here except the groom. "Roza." I looked at Dimitri.

"Where is he?"

"They all just arrived." I released the breath I was holding. "He's at the front of the church waiting for you." He sounded jealous. I saw his hand balled into a fist. I saw Viktoria.

"Hey Vika." She hugged me. "We can chat at the reception, let's get moving though."

"Got it." I went to the back of the church. I took in a deep breath.

"You ready?" Mia whispered. I nodded. The men at the back opened the doors. I let the bridesmaids go in head of me with the groomsmen, it was funny watching Dimitri latch arms with Ivan. The ring bearer went out next. I watched as he left. The flower girl went, I counted to ten and followed suit. I saw Adrian waiting there for me. I plastered a smile on my face, trying not to sprint to him. When we finally made it I gave my bouquet to Lissa. Christian was video recording and taking photos. I looked at Adrian and smiled, though I was thinking about Dimitri and how much I love him.

-X-X-X-

He spun me around. I squealed, giggling. We were dancing away on the dance floor at the reception. He put me on my feet. "I love you so much." He whispered.

"I know." He smiled. The band stopped playing.

"It's time for the father-daughter dance." I saw my dad in the crowd. I hoped he wouldn't turn me down in front of all these people. I waited, sad when he wasn't showing. Then he tapped my shoulder. I turned to him and smiled.

"Thank you." I whispered. He pulled me closer and we began dancing. "I know you don't approve… but isn't it important that I'm happy?"

"You were happy with Mason." I looked into his eyes. "Happy with Dimitri too."

"No, Dimitri and I were never together." My body went rigid, my eyes cold. "Don't talk about Mason." I let him twirl me around.

"I thought you loved him." He observed.

"Is it your goal to hurt your daughter? You already replaced me daddy… wasn't that enough?" I had a tear leak out. "I want you and mom to leave after this song."

"Rose… I didn't mean to." I cut him off.

"It's too late, you already did." I scanned the crowd around me, trying to stay happy. The song was coming to an end. "You didn't like that I didn't want to be part of your business and you replaced me, get over it… you lost me Abe. You lost me the minute that your business took away Mason." The song ended. Adrian tapped my shoulder. I nodded and went into his arms. "Why can't it be about me for once?" I whispered.

"It's about you now." he promised, kissing me gently. "In my world it'll be all about you." He kissed me again.

"I can't wait to go to where you're taking me." I whispered huskily in his ear.

"Me either." I laughed. "I love you."

"I love you too."

We ate an hour later. Lissa did a speech, as did Mia, and the best man did his speech. It was average. I munched away on the food though. This was taking so long, but I played the part. When we finally were making our way to his car I was ready to scream with joy. Dimitri pulled me aside. Adrian waited. He hugged me tightly. "I love you Rose."

"I know." He released me. "I'm sorry about the cow." He laughed.

"Me too. Have fun on your honeymoon."

"Thanks, my life's perfect now." he smiled, but his eyes told me how depressed he was. "Goodbye, see you in a few weeks." I kissed his cheek. A few pictures later Adrian and I were driving to the airport.

-X-X-X-

It's been four weeks since the wedding and I was still on my honeymoon. "Baby! I'm back." I called as I shut the door behind me. He was in bed… with someone else. I looked at him, broken. "Um… yeah." I grabbed my packed suitcase. We were leaving this week… I'm leaving now. He looked at me.

"This isn't what it looks like." He stood up from her. I held back tears.

"We're so over." I said calmly. I grabbed the rest of my stuff and walked out of the door.

"Rose, wait." He called. He chased after me.

"I knew you were cheating on me, but I trusted you." I told him as I headed for our rental car.

"Rose." He grabbed my arm.

"I want a divorce and I'm getting the best damn lawyer." I punched him. "Now, let go. We're over." I closed the door, locking the doors. I drove to the airport, my heart cold and dead. We had our own private jet. He took me to Spain for our honeymoon. I drove faster. I called our pilot and told him to get to the plane pronto. When I arrived he was ready to take off. I let him get us home. I haven't cried for the past five years, he ruined me all over again. I exited the plane, our car in the parking lot. I called Lissa on the way to the car.

"What's up babe?" she answered.

"I need your lawyer."

"Why?" she sounded scared.

"I'll tell you later." I hung up and started driving to pack my things.
