Chapter

158

Two and a half years later..

Nervous is such a weak adjective to describe what I'm truly feeling. My heart is hammering and I'm not sure if this is out of nervousness, excitement or fear. Perhaps it's a mixture of all of them? I don't know.

Today is my wedding day and until this very moment, there's, thankfully, no drama. Everything is going according to the plan. However, I haven't even walked down the aisle yet. Silas ar I wanted our wedding to be private, and to achieve that, we hired a top-notch security company to keep away paps and reporters.

Silas is now a very famous football player. The success he has achieved in a short period of time is almost unprecedented. I'm really proud of what he has achieved so far and I know that there's more to come.

I graduated last July. It still feels surreal that I'm no longer a college student and, to be honest, I'm really excited to start working. Well, I have been working with my mum since Summer of my junior year, but being an intern is not like being a full-time employee.

In my third year, Mum suggested I could design a few dresses and have them sold at an auction to donate the money later for charity. At first, I was skeptical, because I thought nobody would want to buy dresses from a beginner, but I was wrong. All of the dresses were immediately snatched and many people even asked me if I could design more dresses for them. To say I was stunned would be an understatement.

I'm supposed to start working with Mum as a full-time designer after I'm back from my honeymoon and I'm really stoked. I can't wait to see people wearing my designs. I know that it's not going to be easy, and a lot of people will call me nepo-baby, but I don't care anymore. I learned to ignore all of that. It wasn't an easy process, but I'm proud of the stage I have reached. I won't lie and say that what I hear or read doesn't bother me anymore, but the effect on me isn't as strong as it used to be.

"You look absolutely gorgeous," Mum says from behind me. She is the one who has designed my wedding dress and I'm simply in love with the gown I have on. It is a long-sleeve off-the-shoulder dress with a lot of studs and pearls on its sweetheart top. The skirt of the dress is long, and it also has studs and pearls but only at the top until they completely fade. It is not very puffy, giving me freedom to move. Mum has put so much love into this dress and I love every single thing about it.

My hair is pulled back in a half updo and it no longer reaches my waist. One day I decided to cut it, and I feel like I can now deal with it better. It now slightly passes the middle of back.

For my something blue, I have a simple hair piece that has blue gemstones in it. For my something borrowed, Mum gave me one of her diamond earrings and for my something old, I have a ring that my grandma gave me when I was eighteen.

"Come here. Let me look at you," Grandma says, and I make my way towards her. Sadly, Grandpa died two years ago and the toll his death has taken on Grandma is still visible to this day.
