The third point of view:

"Why are you staring at me that way? Do you need another kick in the forbidden area?" Eve cocked a brow, arrogantly.

"No," Allen smiled immediately. Oh shit, why was he smiling? He was supposed to be having his revenge on her right? Damn, why did she have to be so beautiful today? Maybe he would push his revenge to another day when she's ugly - hopefully.

At once, Allen's attitude changed as he looped his arm around hers saying, "I just want to save the other men from going through the same ordeal I went through in your hands. I'm sure the men's population would be grateful for my sacrifice. Now, let's dance!"

"What... ?" But Allen already pulled her to the dance floor before she could protest.

At the same time, Ailee had been dancing with Akim when the music suddenly changed and somebody tapped her on the shoulder.

She turned around to meet Theodore looking dashing in his tuxedo.

"Wow," She exclaimed, looking him over, "You look stunning,"

"Thank you. May I have a dance?" He extended his hand.

"Sure," Ailee said, taking her hand in his as he led to another location, his hand on her waist while hers were wrapped around his neck as they began to Walz across the floor.

"I thought you weren't going to come," Ailee thought to make conversation since the silence was kind of awkward.

"I had to spend an hour waiting for my sister to be done with her makeup. You women are strange creatures," Theodore huffed.

Ailee chuckled, "We wouldn't be called women without the drama. Moreover, I think all those time spent on the mirror was for him," she tilted her head in the direction of Eve and Allen swaying to the music.

"Oh," Theodore nodded, "They would make a fine couple,"

"I hope so," Ailee would beat the living hell out of her brother herself if he dared hurt her best friend.

That was the last conversation they had before they fell into that awkward silence once again. Accepting that dance from Theodore was a bad idea, Ailee finally realized when her eyes connected with her his.

There was a thick tension in the air when his eyes darkened before flickering down to her lips. Ailee's heart skipped a beat and she became aware of the way his hands caressed her waist.

His head lowered and she gulped, her hands coming to rest on his chest but without exerting enough force to push him away. Theodore took that as an invitation to clean closer and just when he was about to claim her lips, Ailee turned her head at the last minute and his lips ended on the side of her cheeks instead.

With their hearts pounding, the both of them didn't say a word and stayed in that awkward for over a minute until Ailee finally said, "I'm sorry,"

"No, you shouldn't. I was the one who crossed the boundary," He chose to take the blame.

Theodore took a step back and then laughed, "I don't think this friendship thing is going to work between us,"

"Don't worry, I won't blame you if you don't want to associate with me anymore," Ailee understood.

"No, I mean I don't think I can erase my feelings for you. That doesn't mean I won't be friends with you, it's just a warning so you don't let your guard. Because that moment you think it's all fortified, that's when I come to steal your heart," free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

"Theodore -"

"Neon might have your heart now, but he's gone and I believe time heals all wounds. And I'm willing to wait for as long as it takes. I'm not giving up on you easily, Ailee Spencer. Thanks for the dance," Theodore declared, pecking her on the cheeks slowly as if trying to savor the moment before disappearing into the crowd.

As soon as he left, Ailee released a shaky breath. It seems she would have a long battle ahead.

Thankfully, she would be done with high school in a month and would go to a faraway university where both of them - Neon and Theodore - wouldn't be able to follow. There, she would work on her heart and ready it to fight its battles in the future.

Soon enough the dance ended but there was a little problem, the master of the ceremony, Allen was missing - and so was Eve.

With a little shake of his head, Niklaus took over the mic from the scared young man Allen had pushed the mic to, assuming the role of Mc. He would be dammed if he gave that son of his a serious role in an important event again.

"What a wonderful performance that was, now let's have our seats," Niklaus announced, just as everyone returned to their respective seats. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨m

Unlike Anabelle who was still electrified with what happened, Isabella had put on her expressionless mask once again. If one didn't know her, they would have doubted she was the same person who danced just now - her twin, perhaps?

"And now, let's give it up to the bride's mother…." Niklaus began to tease Reina who went red in the face, "... My wife and the mother of my kids, the most beautiful in the world for the welcome speech,"

A round of applause followed after Reina as she walked up to the floor. It was decided she be the one to give a speech instead of both mothers of the brides to save time. Moreover, there was enough time for their speeches later.

Accepting the mic from Niklaus, Reina cleared her throat before she began.

"I want to appreciate everyone who made out time to be a part of this huge celebration on this Joyful day. Everyone worked hard, putting their heads together to plan the perfect wedding.?We prayed for beautiful weather, good health, and for our guests to all arrive safely. Honestly, it was tough and at a point, the road seemed so dark that it seemed impossible.. However, here we are today, standing strong and a part of this day where we finally witness the union of our kids. I pray you all to have a nice time here, "
