The sun shone brightly over the clearing, casting a warm glow on the gathered guests. The scent of blooming wildflowers filled the air, mingling with the soft sounds of laughter and music. Today was the day—the day Sara and Ryan would finally tie the knot, a celebration of love, unity, and new beginnings.
And also the day when me and twins will do the same.
As I stood beside Sara, my heart swelled with joy. She looked breathtaking in her white dress, radiating happiness. I adjusted my own dress, feeling the weight of the moment as I took a deep breath. This was it. The culmination of everything we had fought for.
I looked at the twins and they smiled at me.
Before the priest could ask any of us anything, Nathan screamed, “Yes I do!,” and he rushed toward me, and I laughed at him as Tristan dragged him back.
“Stay here,” He said as he shook his head.
We both said our vows and Nathan and Tristan kissed me intensely.
This was official.
We were endgames.
And we were together forever.
But as the ceremony unfolded, my gaze wandered. Suddenly, I spotted a familiar figure on the fringes of the crowd. My breath caught in my throat as I recognized Marilyn.
My mother, or the women who were my mother but acted like we were nothing to each other. She let people hurt me, only because she wanted to. She was supposed to protect me but the only thing she did was to hurt me.
She looked disheveled, her hair unkempt and clothes wrinkled, as if she had stumbled out of a storm. I watched as she approached, and an unsettling mixture of emotions stirred within me.
“Ella,” she said, her voice wavering slightly. “Congratulations on the wedding.”
“Thanks,” I replied, my tone flat, devoid of warmth. I couldn’t muster any sympathy for her.
She continued, her eyes darting around as if searching for something—or someone. “Jack’s been arrested for theft and assault. I’m alone now.” Her words hung in the air, but they felt distant, like echoes of a past I was no longer tethered to.
I regarded her coolly, emotions muted. I had spent too long entangled in her chaos, and now I felt nothing but a sense of relief that she was no longer a part of my life.
Adonis appeared beside me, his expression tense. Without a word, he shoved a handful of bills at Marilyn, his irritation palpable. “Get out of here,” he commanded, his voice low and menacing.
Marilyn’s eyes flickered with something that resembled greed as she snatched the money. A small part of me felt a fleeting sense of satisfaction seeing her dismissed, but mostly, I felt an emptiness where empathy once resided. As she turned to leave, I shook my head, the finality of our severed ties settling over me like a comforting blanket.
I turned back to the ceremony, and my heart swelled as I found myself surrounded by those who truly mattered. Luna, Sara’s mother, stood nearby, her eyes shining with pride and affection. The twins’ mother joined us, her warmth radiating like sunlight.
Just then, Wendy arrived, her smile bright and genuine. She rushed over, enveloping me in a tight embrace. “Congratulations, Ella! I’m so proud of you,” she exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine happiness.
“Thank you, Wendy,” I said, returning her hug, feeling the weight of gratitude wash over me. “I couldn’t have made it without you.”
