Victoria's POV

When I entered the lair Jaydan was in the kitchen waiting for me.

"I'm sorry I'm late, I was busy going over the case," I told him.

"I thought the case was closed?" He asked as he gave me a hug.

"Yes but..."

"But you don't feel like it is solved," Jaydan said with a smirk.

"Jay, I have this feeling. I don't know how to explain it but I have this weird feeling," I told him.

"Then trust your instincts. If you have to go over the case 50 times more, than do it. That is why you became a detective, to find the truth, no go find the truth," he said encouragingly.

I gave him a bone crushing hug, "Where would I be without you?" I asked.

"Completely lost," he said, "now lets eat."

We spent the rest of the night talking about the few wedding things that still needed to be sorted out. When the clock hit ten, I decided it was time to leave. I had an early morning dress fitting with Amelia.

I bid Jay goodnight, he wanted to come to the dress fitting, but he knew he couldn't see the dress beforehand so I made a compromise and promised to meet him after my dress fitting for a quick brunch.

When I arrived at my apartment I noticed that I didn't get a note from the stalker. I haven't heard from the stalker in the last two weeks and I didn't know if I should feel relieved or worried. But at that moment I was to tired to care. As soon as my head landed on my pillow I was submerged into darkness.

The next morning I got up early and rushed to my dress fitting. I've learnt over the last few years that you should never make Amelia wait for you. Once I've arrived Amelia was already waiting outside. She was very excited for my dress fitting.

Amelia helped me in the dress and once she led me to the mirror I gasped in surprise. It looked exactly like I imagined it would, even more beautiful.

"Jaydan will be stunned when he sees you in this," speaking of Jaydan I realised he didn't call me this morning. He probably had an emergency meeting or something. But there was a small nagging feeling at the back of my mind that something was not right. But I shrugged it off.

"Thank you! You made my dreams come true," I said as I hugged her. As I hugged her my eye caught the TV screen in the corner of the room. I saw my father's face appear.

"What's that about?" I asked and Amelia turned around to face the TV screen. My father was standing in front of the river nearby the secret lair cabin. Amelia turned the sound up.

"Whose car was found in the river?" The reporter asked.

"The car we pulled out of the river belonged to Jaydan Stewart," my father said.

Before I could even register his words I was rushing to my car in my wedding dress. I rushed through the early morning traffic until I arrived at the river. The whole side was taped of and I quickly rushed to where my father was talking to some officers.

"Vici-" my father said. Everyone turned towards me and they all gave me looks filled with sympathy.

"Where is he?" I asked.

"Vici, the body was not in the car," my dad said.

"That's good, that means he is still out there somewhere," I said hopeful. Just then the divers came back. They gave my father grim looks and shook their heads. I knew what that look meant.

"No. No no no," it was all I could say as my legs gave way beneath me. I fell to the ground still wearing my wedding dress as tears streamed down my face. Realisation hit me. Jaydan was gone. He was gone. I was never going to see him again. I was not going to walk down the aisle.

I felt numb. I barely registered the police officers escorting to my home. My mother was waiting for me and once I saw her face all my pain and sadness caught up to me and I burst into tears again. My mother took me to my room and helped me out of the wedding dress and into something comfortable. I didn't want to think about the wedding dress as mine because I feared that my tears will just return.  Eventually my mother convinced me to go sleep and I was to numb to do anything else.

I woke up to the smell of spaghetti. When I walked into the kitchen I noticed that Amelia and Jordon were there waiting for me along with my parents. When I saw them it was like the flood gates opened again. Amelia and Jordon grabbed me in a hug and we cried together.

My father explained to us that Jaydan's car had swerved out for something, as indicated by the tyre tracks they found, his brakes failed and he went crashing into the river. There was a big hole in the wind screen and they believe that Jaydan was possible thrown through the window before crashing into the water.

After that we ate in silence, all of us to scared to speak. I was a terrible hostess but I didn't care my heart was broken. After we finished our meal everyone left. My mother asked me if I wanted to her to stay but I said I would be fine and I needed some time alone.

That night I fell asleep with memories playing through my mind. Memories of spending time with Jaydan played in my mind like a film. And as each memory went through my mind I clutched the teddy bear he gave me for valentine's day closer to my heart. And once again I was crying myself to sleep and I knew this wasn't going to be the last time.

The memorial was held at the Stewart's mansion at the end of the week. It was the day the wedding would've taken place. I had spent the whole week looking at all our  photos together.

Alec and my parents visited every day to check up on me. Alec really stepped up his game and he spent everytime he had free with me. I didn't know what I would've done without their support.

I looked myself over in the mirror in my room. I wore a black knee length dress. The complete opposite of the dress I was supposed to wear this day.

A knock on my bedroom door disrupted my thoughts before I heard Alec's voice.

"Vici, are you okay?" He asked. He has been just as devastated as me when he heard about Jay's death.

I gave myself one more once over before I pulled myself together as best as I could. I schooled my features before I opened my bedroom door to find Alec there waiting for me.

"I'm fine, shall we go?" I asked. Alec nodded. After locking my apartment Alec led me to the car. Everyone has been babying me ever since we found out about Jay's death.

The drive to the mansion was filled with silence. Alec respected my need for quietness and didn't try to make conversation. The parking lot was filled with many cars. Alec helped me out of the car and led me inside where the memorial was going to be held.

Everyone I passed gave me their condolences and I had to force a small smile to my face and thank them. I had to bit my tongue to stop myself from crying. While we waiting for the service to begin a slideshow presentation played on a makeshift screen. After a while I couldn't look at the screen anymore. If I did any longer I knew I would burst into tears.

Alec must have noticed my state because he quickly grabbed my hand and squeezed it. It was the comfort I needed.
