Chapter 28: The Wedding Night
Every moment passed like an eternity for Tony as he waited for her answer. Her warm breath on his arm gave him no comfort as he wished for her words.
He heard a soft groan and he looked at her. Her eyes were closed and she breathed deeply.
She is asleep. She must have been too tired she was mumbling something inaudible. He patted her head gently. She needs this rest. He couldn’t keep his eyes off her. Her hand was inside his and it gave him a sense of relief.
But...
Tony took in a deep breath.
What will you do if you find out the truth? Will you still look at me the same?

Marcella couldn’t sleep well. She had a lot of nightmares.
She had a dream where she was at the top of a mountain. Her sister was in front of her with a pretty smile, teasing her to follow her. Marcella ran behind her sister as she always did.
But suddenly, a vulture flew right at her head holding something in its claw. Marcella cried for her sister only to find her sister’s lifeless body on the ground. Her fingers were missing.
