CHAPTER NINETEEN

RAINA

I stared at my reflection in the full length mirror. The white wedding dress hugged my body like a glove. It had a mermaid cut with a tight bodice that pushed my cleavage up to my chin. Well, it felt that way.

“Wow, Raina,” Clover gushed. “You look so beautiful.”

I kind of felt beautiful. Something was off though.

“I don’t know. It doesn’t feel like me. I think it’s the color. Maybe a white dress isn’t my style.” I’d never been a big fan of white or tradition. If I was going to be forced into a wedding before I’d even finished university, I should at least wear the dress that felt best.

“Let’s try something different then. What about that pastel blue dress over there? It’s so pretty.” Clover pointed out a dress hanging on a rack with several others.

“Sure, I’ll try it. Can you bring it to the changing room?” I disappeared back into the tiny room to wrestle myself out of the dress I currently wore. Then I passed it off to Clover who handed me the blue dress.

It was a nice color. A little too puffy in places for my liking. Maybe it was the design, or maybe it was the fact that this whole dress shopping thing felt so unnatural and forced. Like it was the wrong way for it to happen.

My commitment to my father and to Havoc was enough for me to shove those feelings aside. I wanted to unite the syndicates and bring an end to this feud. It had never been mine or Havoc’s fight. We shouldn’t have to carry on with it. Getting married would change things. I wanted that.

Did I want Havoc for life though? I kept asking myself that. Despite how we’d started out, we’d formed a bond that had strengthened after his father buried me alive. Havoc had proven himself. He’d confessed his love for me, but he hadn’t allowed me to do the same.

Did he worry that I didn’t feel the same way? Or that perhaps my feelings for him weren’t real but forced by proximity and circumstance? Could I be sure that they weren’t? It was all so damn confusing.

“What about me?” Clover asked when I emerged in my own clothes. “Any particular color you’d like me to wear?”

I glanced around the store filled with whites and pastels. “Pretty sure your color palette ranges far outside anything in this store. You can wear whatever you want, Clover. Even if it’s a bright rainbow tutu.”

“Seriously?” She perked up, her blue eyes bright. “How exciting. I almost want to marry you myself.”

I gave her a playful shove, a silver dress behind her catching my eye. “What do we have here?”

The dress was sleek and silver. Strapless with a tight waist and a gorgeous skirt that flowed. I was immediately enamored.

I nudged Clover. “I think I found my dress.”

After trying it on proved it to be perfect, I made arrangements to pick it up in a few days after some slight alterations were made.
