Keira sighed and looked around the beautiful fairy-tale-like place that her mother did for her. Somehow, her mother will arrive two days before the wedding. And she also need to deal with the company matters and so was her husband. She's happy and she's working from the villa that her mother owns just for the wedding.
"Hey Princess!" Harvey exclaimed and she turned around and smiled at him. Harvey lifted her and gave her kisses. "I missed you. How's the vacation?"
"It was beautiful. Do you want to see our photoshoot?"
"Later," He patted his head. "I am here to do some other business." Then, he left. Keira sneered as she was about to reach her flat shoes to throw it at her arrogant brother. She then realized that the shoes were expensive and she patted them and left.
"What's going on?" Johanna asked who was walking while holding her tummy.
"Well, our brother just made me shut up. He ignored me."
"Oh," Johanna stared at Harvey who was currently talking to a few ladies. "Give me your shoe."
"No. These are expensive." She shook her head.
Johanna looked at her flat shoes. Keira shook her head again.
"No. Don't do that. Let's just eat or something."
Johanna shrugged.
"I need to fit on my dress." She sighed. "I want to see the photos too."
"Okay," Keira said excitedly.
They went to Johanna's room as Keira helped her with it. The dress was stretchable and it was seen through sleeves. It was also long. Johanna knew it. Her stomach was bigger than before. She got fatter than before.
"I don't want to eat anymore." She sighed and looked at her fat self.
"You aren't fat." Keira comforted her. "How can you become so hot even when you are pregnant. I hope that I won't bloat… like my arms and face."
Johanna looked at her arms.
"I am not fat, right?" She asked. She may sound dramatic.
"No, you are sexy." Keira grinned at you. "That's why I always see Connor who looks at you with that sexy look." She teased.
"Really?" Johanna sighed again. "I will work out a lot and have beauty stuff to get back into shape."
"Yeah, I agree with you."
Keira hugged her sister.
"Hey, you should agree with weddings too. Connor loves you, sis."
Johanna caressed Keira's hair.
"I love him too. But you know what will happen first. I have to breastfeed my baby for like four months while getting back into shape."
"I will get pregnant this year so your baby will have a little sibling."

Wendy was held up in a different room. It was all white and the walls were made of something soft so she wouldn't hit herself. She never thought that she would be in this kind of situation again. She glared at the door and bang on it.
"Let me out! Grandpa! Ken!" She screamed. "Grandpa!" She cried as she knelt in front of the door. "Please, I don't want to be in this situation again."
"Stay there for a little while, Wendy. We need to sort things out." Her grandfather said and she looked up to the speaker. "There's a pencil and notebook. Start writing whatever you have in mind. It is one way for us to know what was going on with you."
She gritted her teeth as she raised her middle finger to the camera. She went back to bed as she slouched. There's no way to go. She found out that Keira and Alessandro's wedding will be in four days and she needs to get out and kill that bitch on the happiest day of her life. But how is she going to go out? She looked around and didn't find a way to leave the area. It was guarded.
"Wendy," Her grandfather called. "Read books and exercise. It is better for your health. Butler Jim will accompany and remember, no sex."
She rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"You really think that I can live without sex?" She scoffed. Then, she realized that she had this metal bracelet that looked like a cuff.
"If you do not obey Butler Jim you will be electrified. Remember, you hate it. You don't want it to happen. So, be obedient, Wendy."
Wendy tried to remove it but it seemed like she's in prison again.
"If you make a scene outside, like killing Keira del Carlo with witnesses, I don't think that I could save you anymore. I think I will let justice give you a life sentence." The old man continued. "Your brother is tired of you. I am tired of you. I think it is better that you are in this situation. Do you know why? You drag down our Empire. You dragged down the Empire that I worked hard to build to give you a comfortable life."
"Grandpa!" She screamed as her throat and lungs hurt. She curled up on her bed as she continued crying her heart out.

Keira fitted the gown again while grinning. She can't wait for her formal fairytale like wedding with the man she loves most. She twirled around.
"This is the gown that I am going to use for the ritual and of course there's another gown for dancing." She sighed and looked at Johanna. "So, you better have a wedding too with Connor. Mom and I won't even think of it too simple without wearing a grand gown!"
"Fine," Johanna rolled her eyes and continued eating the ice cream. She put more fruits on top of it and continued eating. "Damn, I miss having sex." She mumbled. "Yogurt and ice cream are the only things that give me pleasure."
Keira froze for a while and then, she burst into laughter. She nearly rolled her white gown on the floor.
"Sorry," She waved at her and snorted from laughing too much. "Sorry." She laughed out loud. "I can't believe that you said that out of nowhere." She continued laughing while Johanna rolled her eyes.
"Keira," Alessandro knocked. "We need to rehearse downstairs in five minutes."
"Just a minute. I have to put my best dress on!" She said aloud.
"Okay,"
She carefully removed her dress and placed it on the hanger. Then, she searched for the white mini dress for their rehearsal. Keira was too happy and too excited. She never expected herself to have this kind of wedding after she lost her memories.
"You are grinning like crazy." Johanna sneered after she noticed Keira's grin.
"Well, I am excited and I hope that no one will ruin my wedding."
"Oh, don't worry. They locked up Wendy. I am sure that she won't be able to peek at your wedding."
"Right," Keira put her dress on, fixed her hair and then her make-up. She then put her high heels on. She approached Jo and kissed her forehead. "I'm going downstairs. Call me." She then rushed outside.
Keira sighed as she walked downstairs to the garden. She walked to the grass and somehow regretted that she wore high heels. The maids were to the rescue. They had something stuck on her stiletto shoes so she would be able to walk normally on the grass.
"Thank you," She smiled and then, she sighed and looked at her husband who was chatting with his men. Alessandro turned to her and grinned. He met her and kissed her lips.
"Okay, Princess. It seemed that your lips were stretched out all day. Am I that handsome?" He teased me. She pinched his cheeks and they kissed further.
"Oh, for God's sake. Let's end this." Adamson said while carrying his daughter.
She only giggled and looked at the bridesmaids who were wearing their best dress.
They continue with the rehearsal. Johanna was currently with Connor in the corner. She only sat down while everyone was doing their roles. However, after ten minutes, Sophia and Adamson's baby girl started crying. She's also sweating but Adamson doesn't want to let go of her daughter.
"Just give it to my wife." Connor told him. Johanna waved at them and then Adamson carefully gave her daughter to Johanna. Shortly, the baby stopped crying and she was also given a mini fan so she won't sweat.
Johanna looked down at the beautiful baby who yawned beside her while she was in the carrier. The music continued and they were laughing but Johanna was focused on the little princess beside her. She was sleeping peacefully like there's nothing wrong in this world. She loved that expression. She also thought about her future baby. Her hand carefully caressed her tummy.
"I'm sorry for bothering you." Sophia said softly and carefully touched her baby girl's foot.
"It's nothing. I am doing nothing and I am too pregnant to participate." She smiled at her.
Sophia sighed as she looked at her baby.
"I love the way she sleeps. I hope that she sleeps like that. Like nothing matters."
"Right, I agree with you. There's nothing more adorable than a baby sleeping like an angel." Johanna admired the baby girl. "I miss my nephew and I wonder how he sleeps. They said that he sleeps so innocently while he becomes mischievous when he's awake.." Johanna thought of her naughty nephew and she knew that he missed his mother.
