Adriana's pov:
~two weeks later~
It is every woman's momentous day
It is that day that every little girl dreams of
It is that day in which a heap of responsibility falls upon you and your partner
It is the day in which the purest vows and promises are made
It is the day that connects two hearts forever
It is the day each woman gets to flaunt her white dress
It is my wedding day
I am the one in the White dress standing in front of the mirror awestruck with my reflection
I never expected this day to come or for it to be like this, I have always dreamed about it, dreamt about the moment I will be the one in the magnificent white designer gown like all the women I've seen in ever since I was young. I had dreamt about this day, about the day I will be claiming myself to my lover, my true love.
I dreamt. But my reality is the total adverse, it is nothing like what I have dreamed of, what I anticipated
Yes I was wearing the most breathtakingly gorgeous white gown my eyes have ever landed on, but I knew it deep inside that I wasn't marrying my true love. I do admire Luca but I know this is all a game, the reason I agreed to this wedding was only to end a person my heart ached for, a person that have left the deepest and nastiest scar in my heart.
It wasn't an act of the love; the wedding, it's an act of revenge. It's all a plan. I will be claiming myself to Luca even though I don't truly love him. But with time I know I will love him, there's no one out there better for me than him.
I had locked my feelings away and built a wall around my heart.
Yes I became heartless.
Feelings fuck you over and over and over again, so I'm better off without them.
I will keep this wall, until somebody worthy enough knows how to break it down and creep into my heart, but until then I don't need anyone. I'm a strong individual, seeking for power and revenge... Or at least I am right now, will I still be the same after tonight?
"You look gorgeous" I say to my reflection and smile
Just a few more hours and it's time to face everyone and put on my best act, an Oscar worthy act; that I'm delighted to be the bride and that it truly is my night.

When Luca first told me that the plan required our marriage, he shocked me, I wasn't ready for such a commitment although it was fake for me, but I took the offer, it was the only one I had.
I let out a sigh and slowly sit down at the couch in my hotel room, careful not to wrinkle or do anything terrible to my gorgeous dress. The wedding is happening here, in the biggest and fanciest hotel in the country
Luca did all the work, he took care of the invitees, the wedding place, hired a wedding planner, got the best chefs and everything else, heck even bought tickets for our honeymoon getaway.
A faint knock on the door pulled me away from my thoughts and I got up to open it, as soon as I turned the knob my mom came rushing inside
"DIOS!! LOOK AT YOU MI HIJA! Ahhhh Linda!!! A true belle of the ball. Wow. They did some magic trick on you mi carina, just like that Cinderella. And I seriously couldn't wait any longer to see how you look like, your make-up and hair stylists are douches, didn't let me see you!" She rambled so quickly but I could tell she was very thrilled and shocked to say the least
I mean it did offend me a little but whatever
"Gracias mama, I'm glad you came by now I was losing my mind and letting my thoughts consume the best of me. Ugh I'm so nervous I don't know what to do to calm down" I paced around the room
"Okay okay you need to stop before you ruin your whole magical look, go go sit down and try to breathe, everything will be ok" she lead me to the same couch I was seated on and she sat next to me
"I would've gotten you a glass of water but I don't want you ruining your make-up!" She exclaimed and I rolled my eyes "seriously mama? You're unbelievable"
"Hey at least for one night love, I need you to be perfect, the paps are already jammed outside, you will make the front page of every beauty magazine and your pictures will be on every news website and tv.. Need you to look great, just like your mama"
"Do you really have to make everything about yourself?- you know what don't answer that I already know the answer" I huffed , "what... What is that?! Dios mio! You want to give you mama a heart attack?!" She shrieked out of nowhere

"¿QUÉ?"
"YOUR SHOES!! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY WEARING FLATS TO YOUR WEDDING?!"
"Oh that..." I stared down at my feet in shame
"Nobody is going to see them behind my long dress.. Right? So what's the point? I don't want my feet to be killing me on my wedding night. " I said matter of factly
"Tell me you're joking and that somehow in my absence you gained a sense of humor just like you gained weight"
"Ha ha, maybe I did, but you certainly haven't changed one bit..." I whispered the last part, because honestly I don't feel like fighting with her on my wedding day, what kind of mother would even want that
I heard her counting and trying to calm herself down, she then looked up at me and plastered the fakest smile I've ever seen a creature muster
"Darling, you have bought actual shoes for your dress right?!" She asked and I could tell was repressing her emotions and trying not to explode in my face, she was like a ticking bomb, if I say "no" she's going to burst in my face, if I say "yes" then she realizes I am lying, same thing will happen
Why is she such a drama queen, why is everyone in my life a drama queen?!
"No I didn't" I said calmly and I watched her as her left eye twitched and her extremely fake long nails dug in the couch, she then took a deep breath "well. I'm not going to spend my energy scolding you for being incredibly estúpido, instead I'm going to my room and get you one of my shoes. But make sure to give them back after the night ends" she stood up and walked away leaving the room
Oh mom, how I missed your attitude
"Wait how is she back already when she haven't been gone for one minute?!" I asked out loud when I heard a quick knock on the door and I got to open it
Never underestimate the speed or power of a mad latina mother
"Thought it would take you longer to choose which one of your precious babies will be worn by-" I was saying while opening the door then I stopped when I saw no one there
Did she leave to change the shoes or?
Weird...
My heart jumped a beat when I heard a loud crash come from inside the suite and I turned around swiftly to see who or what caused the sudden commotion when I felt a certain presence behind me, but before my vocal chords could get the order to scream my mouth was covered with a cloth and I felt two strong hands wrap themselves around me, and right as I inhaled my head instantly felt heavier and the room started to dim more and more with every breath I took
Realization hit me that I was being kidnapped but it was too late to do anything...
My body was ready to collapse on the floor but somehow I didn't know what was happening anymore, everything was completely pitch black...
~*~*~*~
I took a deep breath from my mouth and my body jerked to life
Everything around me still felt spinning, but I couldn't see anything, my eyes were hardly opening due to the piece of fabric hindering their way
I wanted to bring my hands up to remove the fabric but I couldn't move them, something too was keeping them tamed
Oh no
Oh no no no no
This can't be real... Eyes covered and hands tied?
My legs could freely move though and wait I could speak..
"HELP ME SOMEBODY HELPPPP PLEASE OH MY GOD" I screamed at the top of my lungs, but my voice was only an echo
It was only seconds later when I heard a door being opened and my heart started pounding three times faster that it already was
Loud footsteps echoed behind me, the sound getting louder and louder with each step my mysterious captivator took, and my sense were even more aware now
He was getting closer and closer to me
"WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME" I screamed and started fighting through the chains holding my hands down and my head kept moving from left to right
"ANSWER ME YOU BI*CH I KNOW YOU ARE HERE, F*CKING COWARD" I shrieked again as tears started streaming only to soak the cloth covering my eyes
The footsteps became louder and louder, closer and closer until suddenly they stopped.
My heart almost stopped when I felt a warm breath crawl on my neck from behind
He's behind me
"Hola, mi amor, missed me?" He said and chills went down my spine at the recognition of his voice
Joder (fuck) I'm doomed.
~*~*~*~*~

One member of the party, the strongest mage, Rakku, decided to stop the enemies in their tracks. 「Leave it to me here and go!」 「But……」 「Hey, I’ll catch up immediately, alright?」 Rakku mindlessly defeated the enemies, over and over again.
