39 Wedding

I had gotten caked in make up by Marie as soon as the world hit dawn, she made sure my hair contained perfect curls and that my face was covered in foundation—but hidden well enough.

Then, we put me inside my ivory wedding dress and high-High heels.

The maid of honour- marie- then got dressed up in her black bridesmaid dress, and placed her hair into a French plat.

"Alright, the kids are ready!!" Marie announces as she let my baby's in.

Elizabeth and Annabella were stood in puffy, Princess black dresses. They were twirling around each other and giggling at how cute the dresses were.

While, Christian was keeping an eye on us all in his black tux.

"Just because your dad said you need to look after the 'girls' doesn't mean you can't have fun" I remind him, his face breaks into a replica of Ethan's and he begins to run around with the girls.

"Ready kids?" Marie asked us, we all jolted and nodded with our grins.

Christian guided a little Annabella down the isle, while Elizabeth trotted on behind them—throwing small petals on the ground.

Marie gave me a small hug before walking ahead of me.

When it was finally my go, I sucked my breath in and began to walk down the isle.

Just how Marie has taught me to do so.

I met Ethan's eyes and something reassured me automatically, I wasn't going to trip over my own feet...hopefully.

When I finally reached the alter he grabbed my hand while I passed my flowers to Marie, who was crying behind me.

"You look beautiful Alexander" Ethan muttered into my ear, then kissed my cheek.

We both turned to the priest, "dearly beloved...."

"—and do you, Ethan Knight promise to take Alexander Gomernez to be your lawfully wife. Through sickness and through health, forever and always?"

Ethan's face broke into a grin as he stared into my eyes, "I do"

"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride"

Ethan leaned into kiss me but gunshots were fired and I grabbed my gun out from under my dress.

Marie pulled out her pistol and turned to the kids.

I turned my attention to them, "Marie! Take them out of here! Now!"

"I'm on it!" Marie shouted.

I turned to Ethan and a gunshot was then fired, a look of panic crossed over his face and I saw him scream but heard nothing.

Confused, I looked down and saw that the person who was shot—was me.

I placed my hand on my stomach, before I slowly slipped down to the ground.

The gun slipped out from my hand and I let out a huge gasp as all the sounds came back to sound.

"Mama!" I heard Annabella scream at the same time Ethan shouted, "Alexander!!"

My eyes slowly turned shut, and my spirit leaned into the darkness.

The same I used to be afraid of.

At least I went down as a mafia queen...
