Chapter 418: The Most Beautiful Bride

"You are the most beautiful bride ever, Nora! Today is going to be awesome."

Nora met Isabella’s eyes in the mirror, and their shared laughter drew curious looks from Evana and Olivia.

"What? You really do look stunning!" Evana added, making the two women laugh even more.

Nora rolled her eyes and mock-fanned herself. "Of course, I’m aware."

Evana narrowed her eyes, sure there was something going on that she didn’t know, while Isabella chuckled. "Okay, here’s the backstory for the two of you- this is what I told her when she was dressed as a bride the previous time. This girl, she had me fooled that she was really marrying Antonio. And gosh, I hated that man. But I was trying to be supportive... while she looked pale. Who could have thought that she was that good an actress."

Evana smiled at that," I’m just glad that you never married him, and we had this chance to be sisters. Also, I agree with Isabella, I totally did not like him. The first time I met him, I seriously questioned if you were making decisions with the intelligence quotient of a room temperature—during the cold and in Celsius, that is—before you lost your memory."

"Of course she was foolish, back then. I’m pretty sure she’s steeling all the smartness from Demetri, even now. She lost hers a long while ago..."

Nora, feigning indignation, picked up a flower and tossed it at Isabella. "Oh, please, Bella baby. I still managed to capture Demetri’s heart, didn’t I? With my lower intelligence? And had the courage to confess my love to him, unlike someone who needed to be informed that she was in love with Ian."

Isabella caught the flower gracefully and lobbed it back at Nora. "That’s not fair! Ian was just too impatient and took it upon himself to declare my love for him."

Evana and Olivia both chuckled at Isabella’s look before teasing her," You’re lucky he did that. You were the one who was foolsihly trying to break up with him."

Isabella blushed and pointed out angrily," Well then, he could have proclaimed his love for me... But he took it upon himself to declare my love for him as well."

"Don’t pretend to be angry, Bella baby! You were quite happy that he did that. You were totally over the moon."

"I was saved from making a special declaration or gesture to him so of course, I was happy."

As their shared laughter echoed, Olivia sighed. "But Demetri is going to lose his mind when he sees you today as a bride."

Isabella’s eyes widened with curiosity. "Wait, what? When was this? Where was I? Oh, I was there. how did I not see him?"

Nora smirked mischievously. "Oh, it was during the Antonio fiasco. You were busy glaring daggers at Antonio. Demetri was there at the church when Antonio dramatically objected to the marriage."

Isabella gasped. "No way! Why haven’t you told us this before? Ohh. You’d already married him by then, hadn’t you? What did he think he was going to do if you really went ahead with the wedding?"

"He claims that he would have carried me away before I could say, ’I do’."

"Aww! That would have been so much fun to watch. Dam* that Antonio! He ruined the show even then."

Evana joined in with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Well, maybe we can arrange for a little show today. You know, just to spice things up?"

Nora widened her eyes at that and shook her head," No way! Lets just stick to the original plan. We don’t want any more surprises after what the boys are planning."

As the excitement bubbled in the room, Olivia’s eyes sparkled with mischief. "The boys are planning something? Dar*! They’ve grown guts to prank Demetri now? What are they doing? Come on, spill it!"

Nora chuckled, "It’s not just one, alright. They’re doing a few things..."

"Holy shi*! And Ian did not even tell me a single prank! How dare he? Let me give him a piece of my mind..." Isabella was about to go out in a huff...

However, Nora giggled and caught her. "Oh, shu* up! You’ll watch it live and love the entire fun."

Evana, sensing the perfect moment for celebration, reached for a champagne bottle, popping it open with a satisfying pop. "Well then, let’s toast to Nora! May your wedding day be filled with love, laughter, and just the right amount of mischief."

They each grabbed a glass, and Olivia raised hers high. "To Nora, the most stunning bride and the mastermind behind the best pranks. May your marriage be as joyous and thrilling as your sense of humor."

Isabella joined in with a mischievous grin. "May Demetri survive the pranks and cherish the laughter, just like he cherishes you, Nora."

Nora blushed at the heartfelt words, lifting her glass. "To love, laughter, and a lifetime of happy pranks. Cheers!"

They clinked glasses, and the room echoed with laughter and the fizzy sound of champagne being poured.

Meanwhile, in the groom’s room, champagne had been popped as well... but the atmosphere was not right. The groom stood... in his under clothes, staring at his brothers...

Meanwhile, in the groom’s room, champagne had been popped as well, but the atmosphere was far from celebratory. Demetri stood in his suit, which seemed to have shrunk two sizes at the very least, a bewildered expression on his face as he stared at his mischievous brothers.

Ian, trying to contain his laughter, explained, "Well, Demetri, we thought we’d start the wedding day with a bit of humor. It’s going to be a new tradition, you know."

Demetri sighed, "I’m all for traditions, but does it have to involve me standing here wrapped like a sausage? Where is my suit, guys?"

"Ahh.. this one?"

Lucien moved aside to show another suit which looked like Demetri’s but with a giant hole in the middle.

"Oh no! He means this one." Erasmi brought forward, yet another similar suit, this one smeared with something red..." This is the best. When she sees you in this, she will be so worried that you are bleeding that she will run down the aisle to you."

Demetri rubbed his forehead and glared at them," I can see you all are having a great fun at my expense."

Seb, stood up and moved the curtain to reveal a mannaquin hidden there as he popped a chicken popcorn into his mouth, while adding," Of course, we are. And here is your pristine white suit. You, who has never worn white in his life is wearing that. We are entitled to some fun!"

Having said so, he casually wiped his hand on the sleeve of the suit, making the others scream in horror," Seb, that is the original suit..."

"Oops sorry."

Finally, Demetri, who’d almost believed that his real suit had also been damaged, got rid of the extra tihht clothing and lounged on the couch," Fine. You can keep laughing. I can go out like this while you guys can explain yourself to Nora."

The room echoed with laughter as the brothers, pretending to be scared of Nora’s potential wrath, quickly dispersed, leaving Demetri to prepare for the wedding in peace, his kidnapped suit, handed back to him...
