They planned everything so quick, the ceremony will be held tonight at one of the five star event hotel owned by The Davis. And About her dress, Amanda told her, she already choosen her dress for the event, it will be a surprise.

'Like I am excited...'

They ready everything for big night in just two days... Dresses ready, place booked,  security arranged and Invitation cards distributed.

Flash Back

Emily placed fresh, custom made invention card at the table. Her friends looked at her confused, except Ashley. Rose picked it up and read it loud...

They saw her with mouth opened. Tyler snatched it from her hand, read it as fury grew in his eyes,

"What the hell is that!!!?? Emily, you can't do that, why didn't you deny this..." He yelled, frustration cleared in his tone...

She flinched at his tone

"I can't do anything...", Emily whispered in despaire

" just say no,"

"She can't Tyler... The consequences will be vicious", Peter said.

" I don't know, Emily, just come with me... We will go far away from everyone...", He muttered.

Emily closed her eyes trying to calm herself.... She just don't want to lose her temper at his absolute nonsense.

" Here he is", Rose muttered rolling his eyes.

She grabbed her bag,

"It's fine, Tyler, I can handle", She stated.

" I am going home, not feeling well, you all are invited... Please come... I need your support at the 'funeral' "

"We will... Stay strong", Rose mumbled giving her assuring nod.

She made her way out of the cafeteria,
was about to walk towards her car
but he grabbed her arm.

" Emily, Listen!"

She sighed.

"Yes"

"Emily, I am serious... This is your chance... Come with me... We will go far away from everyone... Just you and m-"

She cut him off by snatching her arm and clapped her hands infront of him in begging form, getting embittered from his constant behaviour.

"Tyler, Please, I just don't want to ruin our already messed up friendship. How many times I tell you to move on... I am not interested in you... And about my problems, i can handle on my own... If you can't support me as a friend... Then i don't want ur friendship!"

He groaned clutching his hair out, whispering profanities.

'He look like a lunatic', Emily thought

He took a deep breath

"This is what i am saying, My Em, I don't want to support you as a friend, i want to support you more than that...", Tyler whispered in his own trance, As he cupped her face, leaning closer, he was about to kiss her but, she pushed him away with her full force.

" Stop your fucking nonsense Tyler Hunt!!! You keep talking shit and shit... Enough with this... Haven't you see I am not in fucking love with you... Go away... And don't you dare to talk to me again... I don't want any friendship with you!!!...", She lashed out.

'Ahhh, I regret why I did friendship with this nutcase!'

His fisted his hands face grew red, he was about to say something but a distant male voice stopped him. He stiffed, didn't turn around.

Emily frowned, She took few steps aside and saw familiar Audi... James standing a little far away from him. She looked back at tyler.

"Emily, listen..."

" Shut up!"

With that, she walked away from him towards James.

"Brother, you are here?", Emily asked.

"I came here to pick you up"

"I have a car, i can come by myself"

He rolled his eyes,

they made their way towards his car and sat inside.

"Yeah Yeah, i know... Amanda send me... We have a surprise waiting for you at home", James replied as he started to drive.

" what surprise?"

"You will know soon"

"And i hate surprises"
She grumbled.

" Who was that guy?", James asked.

'Dang it, I know he will ask!', she thought

" My friend"

"Is he invited to your engagement?"

"I know where are you going with this brother...Yeah he is invited just like my other friends... I hate when you doubt!", she said annoyed

"I am not doubting... I just asked"

"Yeah Yeah i know your 'asking'.. More like a investigation", Emily grumbled air quoting 'asking'.

He chuckled.

And the drive went in a comfortable silence....
                 

They arrived. She spotted male figure talking to the security man on the porch. She gasped in surprised when she notice who was standing,

" Zac!!!!", she squealed in joy

She hoped out and ran to him. Zac turned, got tackled in a bear-hug from his sister. He laughed and engulfed her in a comforting hug, as she broke into tears...

James silently made his way inside without disturbing the brother-sister reunion.

"I missed you so much, You brat!", Emily sniffled.

Zac smiled

" I missed you to, Tiny", Zac whispered gently caressing her hair trying to comfort her.

Emily gently pulled away. And hit his arm,

"I am not tiny", she complained

"Yes You are"

Emily chuckled,
"Why you come to NY?"

"For your Engagement...  Did I forget to Congratulation?"

Her smile dropped,

" Just because of my engagement? no other reason? I thought you missed me that's why you show up!", Emily said, upset from him,

She was about to walked inside but he stopped her,

"Hey hey listen, i missed you too that one of the reason too", Zac replied

She rolled her eyes muttering, 'whatever'

'Something is definitely wrong', Zac thought frowning,

He sighed and hold her shoulders
" what happened, Em?"

"Nothing. Just let me go", Emily said suppressing her irritation.

" lets go there", He rolled his eyes and said dragging her towards the patio.

He ignored her protesting,

She slumped on the chair, Zac sat beside her.

"Now tell me... No shit only truth!"

She start playing with her fingers.

"Is it about the engagement?", he asked softly,

She nodded bitten her lips to stop her crying...

" Why? Aren't you happy? Did James or Amanda force-"

"No they did nothing, how can you say that...". Emily scowled cutting him off.

" then?"

"I don't want to marry him, Zac, he is brutal Mafia Don... And I am decent a civilian... We have no match!. But that beast isn't understanding. He wants to marry me... I don't love him in fact I hate him...", she blurted out in one breath

He nodded and whispered,

"Maybe he is not what he seems... He wants to marry you... And It shows that's he loves you"

She clenched her jaw,

"Here we go, you are on his side too..."

He rolled his eyes
" I am not anyone's side"

"Whatever, but Its not love, Zac, it's just an obsession", she explained

"How can you say that?"

Huh? How?

"I-Its show in his eyes!", Emily muttered, irritated

He raised his eyebrow.

" fine!! But how can you prove, that it is love?"

"He loves you that's why he wants to marry you!"

"Oh!! if you love someone you forcefully marry them?", she scoffed,

" you don't know how Mafia Men works, i know... If Don was obsessed with you then, he doesn't go through those ritual of sending proposal or engagement and marriage... Asking your brother in law, Sent his parents at your door steps... Only honorable Mafia Man do this. Otherwise, Mafia Men never cared what the fuck you think... In their hungry eyes, you are nothing but a fresh piece of meet. Are you understanding what I am trying to say"

She gulped,
"If h-he try to do something, Then you guys let him do anything!"

"No, we will try our best to stop him. Even die for you but we can't stop him forever... And If King Vincent want something he get it by any mean. he is dangerous but he is honorable!"

'Ughhh!!! This shit is so frustrating... Why the hell everyone on his side... What magic spell, he cast on them...bloody Showman!

"I don't want to talk to about it... Let's go inside", Emily said getting up

" Sure..."
