I gasp. Fuck no! It can’t be! But it is. It’s Tori, the bitch who tried to kill me, by slashing my wrists. She looks just the same. Chin length, blonde hair. Evil dark eyes. She stands looking at me and Rome. Rome tries to pull me away, but I refuse, needing to see what she wants.
“Congratulations Luna. I bet you think you’ve done well for yourself, don’t you?” She glares at me.
I’m confused, really fucking confused. What the hell is her problem?
“Has he taken your virginity yet? Ha! I bet he has. See, that’s his specialty.” She’s laughing, crazily.
I’m shocked, I can’t move. This is horrible, she’s crazy, but something keeps me frozen, needing to hear her out.
Rome hugs me to him, trying to move me. “Please Luna, come with me now, please.”
But I pull away from him. I’ve got a really bad feeling about this.
“Just leave, you’re not welcome here. You weren’t invited.” Rome shouts, looking to Dolby for help.
Dolby shrugs, there’s not much he can do, without picking her up and physically removing her. I don’t doubt he’s capable of it, but it wouldn’t look particularly good.
“Well, have you missed me Rome?” She shouts. “I must say, I was disappointed not to receive an invitation, to a family wedding.”
“You aren’t family, you need to leave!” Uncle shouts, as he approaches her. “Whoever you are, just leave.”
She scoffs at him. “Ha! Not family, are you sure? You see……this piece of paper I have here……says I’m Mrs. Victoria Romero.” She thrusts the paper at Uncle, for him to look at. She stands with her shoulders back, glaring at Rome. “Rome, I still love you. I’ve come back, for you.”
I turn to him, “Rome, what the fuck is happening? How the hell do you know her?”
Uncle turns to look at me, then at Rome. “Matteo, is there anything that you care to share with me, with Luna, with everyone?”
I look at Rome, and he’s pale, really pale. He looks to me. “Luna, please leave here with me now, let me explain.”
“Explain what? Just tell me.” I’m shaking, I feel faint. I think I know what he’s going to say, but I hope to God I’m wrong. Please God! Do not do this to me, please.
“He’s already married, you stupid bitch!” Tori shouts, “to me!” Then she smiles, very fucking widely.
I turn to him, trying my hardest not to crumble, not to collapse in a pile of anguish and despair. “Is this true? Are you married to her?” I choke out.
He doesn’t answer, he just looks at me, with tears in his eyes. “Are you telling me, that you are married to that bitch?” I point at her. “That fucking evil bitch, who drugged me, slashed my wrists and left me for dead. Is that what is happening here Rome?” I’m shouting, well, as much as I can.
He looks at his feet. Gasps are heard, throughout the room. I guess the microphone Rome is holding has just broadcast that, to everyone.
I jump off the stage quite gracefully, even in my heels, and walk up to Tori.
Talia runs forward, “go Luna, fucking kill the bitch, woo, woo.” She knows what’s coming, Tori doesn’t.
I don’t kill her, unfortunately. I throat punch her instead, as you do. Or as I do, it’s becoming a habit.
She drops to the floor and then I punch her, really hard, in the nose. Blood explodes, everywhere, covering my dress and shoes too. But I don’t care.
She’s writhing on the floor, clutching at her neck. I feel nothing, looking at her. I stand up, and notice everyone has frozen, watching me. Nobody has approached Tori, to help her.
I’m aware tears are pouring down my face. But I can’t move, I can’t speak, I’m just in shock. I must look a sorry state, but there’s nothing I can do.
I’m lifted off my feet, I look to see it’s Max. He runs out of the room with me in his arms. Looking back I see Rome, he’s fallen to his knees. It looks like he’s crying, his hands are covering his face and his head is bowed. I feel nothing, at all. I see Dolby and Toby, they're both looking at me with sympathy, and regret in their eyes. Still I feel nothing.
Talia follows us, shouting at the room as we leave. “You can all fuck off, especially you Rome. And she’s keeping her ring, and I’m keeping my necklace. Leave my bitch alone. Motherfucker!”

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
This is my debut novel. I apologize in advance if any reference I have made is incorrect, although I have tried my best to 'Americanize' it, accurately.
I hope that you, the reader, loves this book just as much as I have enjoyed writing it!
This is book 1 in the Luna Moon Series and will quickly be followed up with the next one. I know how frustrating it can be when reaching the end and having to wait to continue the story.
Thank you x
