Chapter 34

Ava

Just when I thought everything is perfect. I heard a gunshot and everyone turned to look where to see where the noise came from. Maisha and Harry. Of course, they had to come and ruin our wedding too.

As soon as David saw the gun in both their hands he comes in front of me."Maisha, keep the gun down. You will get nothing doing this."

"Does it look like I care? I wanted you but you wanted her. You wouldn't get over it. It was a mistake." She said smirking with the gun pointed in our direction.

David gently holds me and comes in front of me. Blocking me from them. It was not me I was concerned about. I had to think about our child. I glanced over at Shane and surprisingly he was standing there without any fear. Everyone was terrified. Everyone was paralyzed in their place when and no one dared to move. I signal Allan to shield Shane.

"You ruined our lives. We had to go into hiding only because you filed a report against us. I only wanted Ava and she wanted you." Harry speaks out and a flame of anger rose within me. They can't ruin our wedding day. I came in front of David. That's enough. Today I will put an end to this. I am tired of all of this.

"I loved you but you assaulted me, hurt me, forced yourself on me to an extent I tried to end my life and you expect me to run into your arms after all of that." Everyone was shocked. No one knew about this except David and Dad. This was out of hand. They are mad if they think I will be scared of them. Today, I am not.

"I will not let you ruin our day," I told them.

"It's too late. We only want you dead. You are responsible for this. You came in between us." Maisha takes a step ahead.

"You ruined my life. I spent six years in jail. I had to take revenge on you. Maisha, pull the trigger in three."

Both pull the trigger

As they pulled the trigger David came in between shielding me from them but before they did anything Shane comes out of nowhere."I knew it when I saw you sneaking in yesterday night so I..."

"Shane now is not the time. Get behind me." David tries to pull him but he shrugs off his hand. Shane no. This is not a detective game. It's a real gun, not a play gun you play with.

"What do you mean Kid? Even if you saw us you couldn't do anything." Maisha smirks not affected by his words.

"Then you misunderstood me whatever your name is. Nobody messes with my parents. Take a look behind you." The police were here standing behind Maisha and Harry with their guns pointed at them. Wow! That was unexpected but great.

He waves off at them smiling.

"Have a great time in jail."

"Shane..." I went and hugged Shane. The police caught hold of Harry and Maisha and finally, we got rid of them. I don't know what would have happened if Shane didn't call the police. Everyone was shocked at their arrival but after they were taken by the police. We didn't want to waste much time and continued the ceremony with them gone.

"Friends, we have been invited here today to share with David and Ava a very important moment in their lives. In the years they have been together, their love and understanding of each other have grown and matured, and now they have decided to live their lives together as husband and wife."

Since they couldn't stop fighting over who would be the best man. Liam was the officiant. After Liam was done it was time for the vows.

David turns to face me and looked at me as he held my hands. I felt a smile curl up on my lips and blushing. He takes a deep breath and starts reciting his vows.

"I take you to be my best friend, my partner in crime, and most importantly my soulmate. I promise to always stay with you during good and bad times. I promise to be patient, understanding, faithful, and honest and listen to you. I didn't believe you could love someone so much but when I met you. I knew Love exists. You can love someone more than yourself and you will be willing to anything to make the other one happy. When I see you smile, I find purpose in life. I am addicted to your smile, your blue eyes, and most importantly your soul. I will always love you and treat you like the queen you are and I can't wait to spend my entire life with you. I am sure it will be fine as long as I have you by my side."

I was almost in tears when I heard his vows. I was a bit nervous but then David held my hand and I looked into his glowing brown eyes and forgot everything and I begin with the vows.

"Every girl dreams of getting married to her love one day. I don't know when exactly I fell in love but when I did, I realized you are the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. You are the kind of man, people write stories about. I am so fortunate to have found you. You are my lucky star, you changed my life as soon as you came in. You made me understand the true meaning of love and that love is worth the wait. When I left I thought you would eventually forget me and move on but there was a part of me that believed that will we will meet again and I knew I couldn't just forget you or stopped loving you even if I want to. I am so happy that we found our way out together and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life loving you." Then David slid the ring on my finger and I slid the ring and he smiled at me.

"Do you, David take Ava to be your lawfully wedded wife and live together forever in the estate of holy matrimony? Do you love, comfort, honor, and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse for as long as you both shall live?" Liam continues and David says without taking his eyes off him."I do."

"Do you, Ava take David to be your lawfully wedded wife and live together forever in the estate of holy matrimony? Do you love, comfort, honor, and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." I nod smiling.

"By the power vested in me by the state of  New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

"This should be one day to remember. From almost a gun shooting to we getting married and now the first snow of December."

"It was our wedding after all."

I chuckle. I am married to David and I couldn't stop smiling. David came in closer and kissed me when I feel a cold thing on my bare skin. It was a snowflake. It's snowing.

Our dresses were ruined due to snow but we did not care. All that mattered at the moment was Us. We stood there smiling looking into each other's eyes. This man never fails to make me happy, feel special, making my heart flutter and my toes tingle but he was also the one who wipes my tears and calms me down and make me feel safe.

He is the reason behind my smile, he listens to me whenever I want to talk, holds me whenever I needed someone or whenever I was having trouble sleeping, cares and loves me making me feel special, supported me in every step

I take also he was the best dad Shane could ever ask. We came a long way through but I am happy that in the end, we found our way together. A few years ago I refused to believe in love and forever but now

I FOUND MY FOREVER IN HIM...

........ The End........

It feels so overwhelming to complete a story because when you write the story gets connected to you and anything negative or positive feels personal but it has to end someday.

I am so glad to finish my first story all thanks to the people who chose my story and stayed with me until the end.

All thanks to you😍😍
