The beautiful rings of bells and the chattering of a few people who can't wait for the wedding to start. Zach was already waiting in the alter. Besides the priest is the judge. Their grandfather wanted a priest and a judge for the blessing to make it more legal. Zach wasn't even looking at anyone. He can't wait for his bride.

The bridesmaid are lining up and he doesn't care about anything else and how beautiful they make the church. What he cares about is her. The music was beautiful and someone was singing a love song. He stopped and listen for a while on the love song. The song is sung by one of the Mondragon relative a celebrity singer. He sang 'Perfect' of Ed Sheeran perfectly. He asked for that song and he become emotional as everyone stood from the first of the song and the door opens.

His eyes twinkled as Andromeda walk slowly in the aisle. Her gown is purely white with diamond beads. It was long from behind and the veil has petals of red roses like it was a blood and a perfect art on the veil. Instead of lilac. She's holding a thorny rose. Wrapped around on the black ribbon.

He understands why she would hold roses with full of thorns. It's like he wrapped her heart with thorns from the roses. She was looking straight at him as her father is at her right, holding her hand.

Slowly they reach the altar as the song ended. Aaron hesitated for a while on giving his daughter to him. But she squeezed his hand and Aaron kisses her forehead, covered with a veil.

"I love you. I will be here for you."

"Thank you, Dad."

Aaron face Zachary and gave her hand to her. He held their hands for a while.

"Do not hurt her again," Aaron told him. "It's not a request. It's a threat." He kissed her forehead one more time and went back to his seat.

They face the altar and listen to the priest's words and whatever the traditions are and now, for their vows. She said responded with a casual "I do." and he said the same with sincerity.

And for the exchange of vows. Zach pulled out an old paper. There is a stain of ink but he opened it and was about to read it to her. But she holds it and stop him from reading it.

"I don't want to hear it." She said but only her, the priest, the judge and him could only hear. They are stupefied for a while. She looked at the priest. "The ring." The priest asked for the ring bearer and Zach put her ring on her and she did the same.

Zach sadly hold her hand.

"Andy, I--"

"End this," Andy told the priest and the priest pronounced them as husband and wife and Zach slowly lift the veil. Her simple beautiful alway starstruck him. But she looks fierce than sadness. She's strong. He always knew that.

He smiled and reach her chin.

"I am always yours, Andromeda." He kissed her and Andy search for the Allona. Her face is sour and she smirked and kiss Zach back passionately holding his nape.

Zach hold her waist and kissed her more. Their kiss ended for fifteen seconds and they all face the crowd. They stood and clapped their hands. Andromeda glanced at Allona and a smirked runs on her lips when she noticed the sourness on her face as she clapped her hands.

It's past six when the wedding ended and they all went to the reception area in a closed hall. Music, drinks, foods and everything are there. Her stylist are there ready to assist her anytime. Zach hold her waist possessively. Finally, they are married.

They sign a few papers and it was official. Zachary kiss her more and more and she just let him. She wanted to see everyone that she's enjoying it so those who are obsessed with now-her-husband would get more even insecure of her. She won't let anyone scheme on her anymore. She won't be dumb again.

"For the dance of the couple."

They haven't prepared any dance but Zach holds her hand and leaned his forehead to hears.

"Remember that dance steps that we danced back then?"

"Yes."

"Are you ready to show them how talented you are?"

"I am always talented. I don't need to brag about it." She smiled lopsidedly. He giggled and kissed her nose.

Zach removed his coat and leave his vest.

Andy went to the other side and she was covered with a white curtain and is surrounded by the stylist and remove a few parts of her gown and she's wearing a thin see-through A-line dress and they removed her sheer-thighs. They removed the veil and few pins of her hair. She then walk gracefully out and the spotlight turns to her and him.

Zach gapes on her beauty. Everyone around are gaping at the bride.

His very own Goddess. He won't let her go again.

The song started as she walks gracefully and slowly at the very start and their singer is singing 'Thinking out loud' of Ed Sheeran.

They use almost the same steps from the music video but improvise few steps and Zach was so into her. She could be a ballerina. She could be in the musical. Not just a model but an artist. It runs in Mondragon blood to be this talented.

The way she swayed her body is unison to the music. The song ended and he held her tightly. Everyone clapped their hands for the performance.

The lights turned off and there's a big click that shut down everything. Few people scream.

Zach hold her tightly to protect her and there are sounds of dropping and in few seconds the lights turned on and beside them is a gift with a bloody letter on it.

The security are already around them and they cover Adromeda and Zachary away from the box. The efficient security that Andromeda requested brought a bomb detector and they all move away.
