throughout the oversized entrance. Huge paintings of Adrian and I
hang from the walls and I am stunned at how beautiful they are. My mom had
asked me for a recent picture of Adrian and me together and when I gave her
the photos, I had no idea that she was going to make them into paintings. I
walk further into the hallway and as I walk into the kitchen, I am greeted by
Penelope who runs towards me.
“Lanna,” she says as she grips onto me. I gently hold her as I stroke her long,
blonde curls. Penelope leads me further into the kitchen and I cannot believe
the amount of food and bottles of champagne that fill the kitchen counters. I
am gobsmacked as I scan the crowed room. The room is filled with people of
all descriptions and they all arranging some type of wedding favours. I don’t
know why I feel so awkward about seeing the preparation for our wedding.
Why am I feeling this way and what was I expecting? I march around the house
with Penelope by my side. I am searching for my momas I need to alert her
that I am here. I reach the lounge and I have a quick glance in through the
doors. The entire floor area of the sitting room iscovered in black and white
goodie bags. To my despair my mom is nowhere to be found.
“Penelope, where was the last place that you saw, Mom?” Penelope scratches
her small forehead as she thinks.
“The garden,” she says as she pulls me out into the back garden of the large
house. I am speechless when I see my mom arranging flowers along the newly
constructed aisle. The walkway has been created using white pillars and
flowers. At the end of the aisle there is an archway, that’s tied neatly with
spinning black ribbons and pure white roses. I makemy way up the aisle; I get
halfway as my mom rushes to meet me in the middle.
“Alanna, I wasn’t expecting you so soon!” She says as she huddles me into her
chest. I break free from my mom’s tight embrace.
“Really, it seemed as if it took me forever to get here.” I say as I again glance at
the surroundings. My mom notices me staring and she quickly asks for my
approval.
“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” She beams as her words pass from her lips.
“Yes, it’s stunning.”
My mom walks us back into house and she ushers us into the kitchen. I take a
seat at the breakfast bar and Penelope rushes up the stairs to her room – no
doubt. My mom begins to rearrange the food platters that lie on the counter
so that she has enough space to make some coffee. I hear my phone buzzing
from inside my jacket pocket. I quickly take it out as I hear a gentle knock on
the entrance wall to the kitchen.
“Miss, I will be just outside if you need me.” My bodyguard says as he pokes
his head around the doorframe. I smile at him as he waits for my reply.
“No problem,” I say quietly. He nods again and then he is out of sight. My mom
walks over to me and hands me a cup of coffee. I can tell that she isn’t
impressed by the fact that I have my brought security with me. However, my
mom doesn’t mention it to me as she knows that I can’t fight Adrian on my
safety. My phone buzzes again and I instantly read my messages.
Alanna, have you arrived safely?
Alanna, please don’t keep waiting. I need to know that you are safe.
I quickly compose a message back to Adrian.
Sorry I was distracted. I have just arrived and yes I am safe.
I hit send and I place my phone down onto the kitchen counter. I take a sip of
my strong coffee as I take in everything that’s going on. I am amazed at how
much time and effort goes into planning a wedding and I am again very glad
that I have my mom and Amelia to help. If I had to plan the wedding alone,
then I am sure that there would no wedding at all. My phone buzzes again.
I am glad that you’re safe. Now please spend time with your family. I will call
you later, I love you…
I smile at his words and my mom notices my emotions.
“What is he saying to you?” I blush.
“Um, just that he wants me to
