Skylar was very happy and excited about her wedding. She was happy that she was marrying her dream man. Her ideal husband and Her true love. She was happy that she got to reach marital status at a beautiful and perfect age with the person of her dreams. The Love of her Life.

It was going just as she had planned for it to go. Just as she had written in her childhood diary.

Dear Diary

November 12, 2008

Today, One of my classmates talked about their parents' wedding anniversary.  I did not know what a wedding anniversary was and they laughed at me and teased me.

I do not want to be friends with such people that make me sad and embarrassed. If it was them in my situation, I would have told them what a wedding anniversary is...

I stopped by the library on my way back home and discovered that a wedding anniversary is the day you marry the person you love.

My mother does not celebrate wedding anniversaries. I asked her why and she said because she did not get married... I felt sad hearing that.

So today I am going to tell you about another dream of mine.

I am going to get married in 12 years!

Sky Chase

She was twelve years old when she wrote that diary entry, and now she is twenty-four years old.  Fulfilling a dream she made at the age of twelve-year-old.

"You look BEAUTIFUL!" a voice said.

Skylar turned her head to see her mother staring at her with a smile.

"Thank you, Mom." Skylar responded.

"My Angel has grown so much." her mother let out as she hugged her

"Don't cry, you're ruining your make." Skylar let out as she wiped her mother's tears carefully so as to not make a mess or smudge her mother's makeup.

"I should be saying that to you." her mother chuckled.

Skylar was not the type of person who would cry on such a big day. She had a phrase in life,

'If you are happy, then smile! And if you are sad, cry it all out.'

This was her golden rule and her favourite phrase. It was how she got through life on a daily.

"Let me go." Her mother informed her as she left.

Skylar sat in the dressing room staring at her cheerful face reflected in the mirror.

"After today, We will be Mrs Jackson." she spoke to her reflection smiling.

Her smile shone brightly as her white teeth sparkled. Skylar was a beautiful woman. She is a beautiful woman.

Right now she was beyond beautiful. Her long curly brown hair was pinned half up with her veil shrouding her hairstyle. Her tight-fitted mermaid wedding gown that fit her hourglass body like a glove. Her makeup was done very naturally to the point that it seemed like she was not wearing makeup.

Skylar was excited about her wedding day. She was beyond happy.

"Bride, it is your time to shine." a voice said before walking away.

"Ah, yes." she replied as she walked behind the man in front of her.

The moment he walked out, Two men were waiting for them. The one man had knocked out the other man who had told her it was time with the back of a gun. I froze in my spot and the men spoke.

"Unless you do not want him to die, you will not scream."

She nodded her head scared as she could hear her heartbeat.

The other man aimed the gun at her waist as they walked out of the Chapel. Skylar was scared and could not understand the purpose of these men taking her away. She did not want to die so age did not scream or fight.

She just wanted to be with the love of her life... Her dream and her life, Wesley Jackson. The men pushed her into the car where they started yelling at her.

"SIGN IT!"

"SIGN THE PAPER!"

They kept yelling at Skylar until she signed the paper. Did she know what she signed? No, she did not have a clue. She assumed it was a document related to the bank.

The car finally came to a stop and Skylar noticed that they were at a different Chapel on the seventeenth block four streets away from her workplace. The Man had aimed a gun at her waisr for the second time as they walked into the Chapel.

The moment the doors opened, music played. specifically, Here come the bride.

Skylar walked towards the altar as she ignore all the new faces that she had never seen before.

The groom turned around for the first time and Skylar froze on place. She could not believe it... She refused to believe it. She thought she could escape him...No, She believed that she had escaped him. But here he stood in front of her, as her Groom, her husband-to-be. He was not the man she had said yes to, yet he stood at the altar.

He pulled her close towards him. Her heart pounded through her chest like a woodpecker drilling a hole in a thick tree.

"Sky, How mean of you." he whispered in her ears.

"I thought I told you that only I would marry you." he added.

"Let go of me!" she lashed out softly not to alarm anyone.

"I will kill him, Sky." he informed her in a serious tone.

She froze as she heard that. She knew he meant it. He would kill Wesley. He has done it before and he got away with it.

"Priest please continue." He told the Priest as he showed his gun that was stashed in his belt.

"We are gathered here in holy matrimony as we unite this beautiful couple..." The Priest spoke.

Her eyes were brimming with tears as she glanced at him.

How did he find me? How did he know about my wedding? How did he do it?

"I do." He answered.

"And do you, Skylar Chase take Leonardo Mangano, to be your wedded Husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?" The priest asked her.

Skylar bit her lower lip slightly before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. The fears that we're brimming in her eyes were now rolling down her face.

"I do." She answered as she cried silently.

The Priest gave them the rings and Leonardo placed it on Skylar's finger and she did the same.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The Priest announced as he closed the book in front of him.

Leonardo pulled Skylar's veil up until her nose before he grabbed her face with both his hands and kissed her.

"You. Are. Mine. You. Always. Will. Be." he said to her as he spoke with every kiss he gave her.

His words made her body shiver in fear, and he smirked when he saw it.

"You are Mine for internity." he added.

"I'll never be yours." she sneered as she moved her face away from him.

The man from early brought a document with a pen and Leonardo signed it. Skylar stared at him confused and surprised.

"Try and leave me if you can, Sky." he spoke as he rubbed her lips with his thumb.

"But beware, if I catch you, Sky." he said as he leaned forward towards my ears.

"I will make you beg for mercy and I will not stop, because every second that I search for you, I will punish you for hours. Every second will be equivalent to an hour." he whispered as his hand caressed her waist.

She could feel the shiver about being caught by him.

This was the start of her story... Her nightmare and her painful memory. This is where she wishes she would never.
