Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 515

Ines had been staying at the Galeana residence for a few days now, with Ethan dropping by daily and only leaving when it was time for bed. A week was indeed a short span of time. Before they knew it, the eve of their wedding had arrived.

Initially, Ines wasn't nervous. However, the festive atmosphere at the Galeana household, with lights and decorations everywhere, stirred in her an unexpected jittery feeling. The realization that tomorrow would be her and Ethan's big day sent her emotions into a whirlwind.

Ashley and Phoebe, her bridesmaids, also showed up at the Galeana residence just in time. It was customary for bridesmaids to stay over at the bride's place the night before the wedding and then leave with her the following day.

Currently, they were huddled together with Emma, discussing how they would playfully torment the groom tomorrow. Listening to their mischievous plans, Ines couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Ethan. He was in for a tough time tomorrow.

Knowing they would have to wake up early, everyone decided to turn in early.

Ines' room was mostly untouched, except for a king-sized bed replacing the old one, accommodating the four slender women comfortably.

At the moment, only the dim bedside lamp was on, providing enough light for any late-night movements.

Ines lay in bed. Her left hand was clutching her right. Her eyes were wide open. She was trying to tire herself out by keeping her eyes open so that she could fall asleep and wake up fresh, ready to be the most beautiful bride for Ethan. But the more she tried to sleep, the more elusive it became. Her heart pounded louder with each passing moment.

Emma, lying next to Ines, sensed her rapid heartbeat. "Ines, are you nervous? You're so stiff, and your heart is racing."

"Emma, it's obvious. Didn't you see her trembling at dinner?" Phoebe, ever the tease, couldn't resist the opportunity to poke fun at Ines.

Ines shot Phoebe a look. "Phoebe, enough. Your time will come too, and I'll be there to tease you. It's natural for me to be nervous."

Phoebe raised her hands defensively. "Hey, it was your dear sister Emma who pointed it out, not me."

Emma cut in, unaware, "I didn't notice Ines' hands shaking. You and Ethan have been married for two years now. You're a married couple. Why would you be nervous?"

Phoebe responded, "Emma, every woman dreams of getting married to the man she loves in a beautiful wedding dress. It's not about the amount of time that has passed; it's about fulfilling a dream."

"In the dark, Emma's eyes darken, thinking about her own wedding. It was a wedding that her father didn't like. Only she and her mother were happy. She was also excited at first, but she found out that Aiden had been drinking all night. She always lived in fear of Aiden running away from the wedding, and there wasn't much happiness to talk about. Looking back now, she felt that she was really stupid at the beginning. She should have stopped such a marriage then, not insisting on going on, "I wasn't nervous about being happy when I got married, but fearful." Seeing that Ines had so many people around her, Emma really envied her, but Emma no longer had the jealousy she had at the beginning.

Ines listened to her words, and her heart was a little bit sour. She searched for Emma's hand before tightly grasing it, "Emma, you will meet someone who really cherishes you in the future."
