Camilla's POV continues

“How did you get so many people overnight?” I looked at the gigantic building and the cars would commute a lot of people.

“Well Adrian planned the whole thing it's a surprise.” She steps out of the car and helps me out. I'm met by uncle Enrique.

Uncle Enrique pulls me into his arms. “My love.”

“Uncle.” I cry on his shoulders like a baby. It's getting too much to bottle in. My life feels like an ugly rollercoaster and now it's swerved in the best way imaginable.

He wiped the tears forming in my eyes and pecked my forehead. “You look so beautiful.”

I giggle, blinking tears away.

Belle takes Arieya's hand. “I'll let them know to start the song.”

“Come on, let's get you your happy ever after.” He takes my hand and leads me inside. To the back garden. The garden is beautifully decorated.

The guests are seated on wooden chairs. I watch the whole set up with tears threatening to fall. I didn't think Adrian would bring a priest for our marriage he isn't very religious fuck that he isn't religious at all.

“No, don't cry.” Uncle Enrique squeezed my hands softly when I sobbed a little, the tears of joy won't stop gushing.

I swallow. “I'm sorry.”

“This is your day and when that song starts we are going to walk down this aisle and I'll give you away to the only man that loves you more than I do.”

“I can't believe it's happening.” I can't get over this setup from the welcome sign to the aisle chairs I'm in love.

“What's that?” I ask uncle Enrique when I hear a song on the piano.

“That's our que.” I hook my hand in his and we walk down the aisle the more notes the pianist plays the more it comes back to me this is our song Adrian's and my song.

'A thousand years' by Christina Perry. My eyes go straight to the bridesmaids and I smile trying not to cry. Mirabelle is holding Arieya and she waves excitedly. I turn my eyes straight ahead and meet Adrian's gaze. Santiago beside him whispers something in his ear and he closes his mouth. He looks better in his suit than he did in all my fantasy's about marrying him. It's like the entire world has disappeared the moment we locked eyes.

“Who gives the bride away?” Is the question that breaks me out of my thoughts.

“I Enrique Carol's Burton do.” He says putting my hand into Adrian's. I smile at him and look at everyone else Arieya runs to me when Santiago waves at her. I pick her up and everyone gashes over the adorable moment.

The Priest clears his throat to gather attention before he proceeds with the business of the day. “Dear beloved we are gathered here to celebrate the coming together of two wonderful souls.”

Santiago winks at me. I hold Arieya nicely and fix my gaze on Adrian.

He continues. “What God has put together no man can separate and you two are the perfect example, so I've been told.”

Adrian smiles at me and I can't help but blush.

“I ask you now, in the presence of God and these people to declare your intention to enter into union with each other.”

“Yes, priest.” Adrian and I both say. I can hear sobs and I prefer not to look at the people they belong to. Santiago takes Arieya and she complies.

“Camilla Mia Burton, will you have Adrian Carter to be your husband to live together in holy marriage? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others to be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?”

“I will.” I say.

“Adrian Carter will you have Camilla Mia Burton to be your wife to live together in holy marriage will you love her comfort her honor her and keep her in sickness and in health forsaking all others be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?”

“I will.” Adrian affirms.

“Will the parents of Camilla and Adrian please stand?” The priest requests.

I don't look but assume they stand because he continues. “The marriage of Adrian and Camilla unites their families and creates a new one. Will you rejoice in their union And pray God’s blessing upon them?”

“We will.” I hear Adrian's Mom and uncle Enrique say.

The priest stares at the guests. “Will all gathered please stand?” I look at the guests and everyone is standing. Oh yes Sheryl and Arielle are among the people I heard sobbing and Mirabelle.

“Will all of you by God's grace, do everything in your power to uphold and care for these two persons in their marriage be true and honest with them?”

“We will.” The congregation responds.

The priest gives us a short prayer.

“I take you Adrian Carter to be my husband to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, In sickness and in health to love and to cherish, until we are parted by death. This is my solemn vow from this day forth.” I say repeating after the priest to Adrian and stop waiting for his part.

“I take you Camilla Mia Burton to be my wife to have to hold for richer for poorer for better for worse in sickness and health till death do us part.”

The priest teaches. “These rings are the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace, signifying to all the uniting of Camilla and Adrian in holy matrimony.”

Adrian and I take the rings from our little ring bearer, his nephew Ty. We say our vows and place the rings on each other's fingers.

“With the power vested in me I pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss the bride.”

I look at Adrian shyly and he gently pulls me to him and kisses me. Everyone applauds.

“I love you Mrs. Carter.” Adrian says pulling his mouth away from mine

“I love you too Mr. Carter.” I say looking at everyone else. “How is everyone crying but you?” I say to Adrian.

“I cried when I saw you in that dress Santiago had to wipe my tears.”

“I didn't see that.” I try to recall but it came out blurry the time I stepped into the hall I was floating through the congregation.

“You were lost in your own world Mrs. Carter.”

“True.” I giggle.

“You wanna get out of here?” He appears impatient to take me out of here and cuddle up in our room and privacy.

“Adrian we just got married.” I say laughing.

“The reception is at the Royals.” Santiago whispers.

“Of course there's a reception.” I palmed forgetting what goes with a wedding. I'm still lost with the whole arrangement. Who wouldn't? Waking up to a surprise wedding isn't something most women could relate to. Marriage is the most tasking and intimate part of one's life and being oblivious of how it got put into one isn't helping my forgetfulness.

Arieya rubs towards us screaming. “Mommy Arieya is back.”

Adrian picks her into his arms. “Talking about herself in third person I see Stacey is rubbing off on her.”

“No she means her imaginary friend.” I say whispering the word imaginary.

A few people congratulate us and honestly I'm tired of saying thank you because none of this feels real yet it's like a dream I don't want to wake up from.

After a good hour or so almost everyone is gone they're heading to the reception. The real party with alcohol and drinks. And cake.

“Come on, let's go.” He says.

Adrian carries Arieya and we head for the car. It's Me, Adrian, Ryan and some of my bridesmaids plus Sheryl. Arieya is in the second car that's right behind us with Belle, King and Santiago. The driver play's Tatiana's 'Heaven".

“So honeymoon?" I ask Adrian.

“Anywhere you want.”

I think for three minutes and came to a wonderful idea. “How about a week at a wonderful beach house just me and you?” I say winking at him.

“You don't want to go to Paris, it's heaven, you know?” He suggests.

Adrian wants to spoil me with the best but he shouldn't, maybe later in the future but for now I just want to get grounded with my new family and roles.

I shook my head. “I found my heaven right here with you and my kids.”

He kisses my cheek and I blush.

I turned to see an unpleasant sight. “You know Aunt Sheryl, the wedding ceremony is over, you can stop sobbing.”

“You're going..” Amaya taps her shoulder and she stops.

“Going to be happy.” Sheryl completes it.

“I am happy.” I say looking at Adrian as we hold hands.

“Your love will live on forever.” Amaya prays which I nod but feels something heavy behind her words. A strange aura manifesting.

Sheryl tears up even more. I get up and ask the driver to open the top.

“Mia, get down!”

The possessive husband of mine tried to yank me down but I was stubborn to put a block to him.

I got distracted. “Oh no my viel.” I scream as it blows away. I get back in the car.

“Stop the car!”

“What's wrong?” Arielle asked, taken aback by my command to halt the moving vehicle.

“My viel it flew away.”

“I'll get you another one.” Adrian says holding me back.

“No, it's special.” I say opening the door.

“Let me get it.” Sheryl appeases.

“It’s fine, I'll get it.” Adrian counters.

“It’s my viel so I'll get it." I shut them up.

Ryan scoffs itching his nose. “Your first fight as a married couple is about a veil.”

I get out of the car and Adrian does too. We run after my viel and it blows away we laugh and again run after it. I look at the car and see Ryan.

“I got it.” I yell waving the veil at him. I turn around and Adrian is running to me screaming no. I look behind me and scream. Everything goes black for a second or two the next thing I hear is a siren. I'm in pain. I can hear everyone else speaking around me and I can hear my daughters crying. I tilt my head and look to my husband beside me.

“Adrian.” I say coughing and a metallic taste of blood hits my mouth.

“I'm here baby.”

“I'm dying.” My voice is weak and unable to hear myself speak.

“No Mia don't close your eyes help is coming don't you hear it.”

I shake my head with tears streaming down my face.

“For Arieya, for our baby,” he says. I glanced at the blood that had soaked my dress and turned it red. The blood from his head has mixed with blood from mine. He can hardly keep his eyes open. Images of us from the day we first met flash in my mind like a reply to where we are.

“Hold on Mia.” He draws out growing weak himself as he begins to turn pale, losing a lot of blood.

“Wait for me.”

“No.” he says. “I love you.” He says before his breathing stops. My tears continue to fall as my vision fades.

I continue to hear voices around me but this time they're fading along with the words Arieya said, “The angel is waiting for you mommy.”
