Veils & Vows
the wedding was breathtaking expensive silence disguised in Gold trimmed Elegance
white roses land the grand staircase of the Moreno estate flowing like waterfalls down marble banister
The Isle sparkled with glass crystals and warm candle lights with chandeliers above the garden shimmered like frozen Stars
a string quartet played something slow, orchestral, painfully romantic. everything about the day screamed a perfect love story
except it wasn't
Vivian stood stiffly beneath the arch her Ivory down hanging hugging her Lucky had a purpose she hadn't agreed to
lace trailed her back her curls pinned delicately, her eyes painted with shimmering gold to match the crown that held her veil
across from stood Dominic Cruz Moreno, tailored to perfection. Black tuxedo, silk tie, composed and lethal
he hadn't looked away from her once since she walked down the aisle
he didn't need vows to express his emotions his eyes said everything
she consumed his every waking thought since the first day he met her

tú bello Vivían Reyes Moreno
and the guests rich, old Moneyed families and hidden mafia smiled and clapped
drinking champagne while watching two people two themselves together with no love, no truth, only fire and ice
in the back her friends sat a table of unfamiliar faces
Layla Martinez her outspoken friend clutched her boyfriend's hand like she might burst at any given moment
next to her is Camila Torres married with two kids held a glass of wine her husband Nicholas leaned
in to whisper but she shook her head her eyes never leaving the altar
none of them smiled nor clapped they were blindsided
