A week has now passed. The wedding is near and it's happening in two days time. The Bennet household was now decorated with beautiful colours. Lights and flowers hanging from the ceiling, beautiful silks covering the wall. Everything was prepared, the reception, the food. One last thing missing was the dress and the tux for the bride and groom.

The brightness of the sun brushed against her face. Elena was peacefully sleeping in her room, she exhaled as she felt the cold breeze from outside. She felt in peace, until...

"AUNT LIANA'S COMING TODAY." Isabella bursted through her sister's door. She ran near the window beside Elena's bed and completely opened the curtains.

Elena groaned and shuffled in her bed as the sunlight literally blinded her. She took two pillows, one to hide her face from the sun and the other to throw it at Isabella.

She swiftly avoided the pillow and climbed on top of Elena's bed. "Sister." She wiggled Elena's body but got no reaction. "Sister, you must wake up!" She started jumping on her but stopped when Benedict came in.

"Isabella Bennet!" He said sternly. "Let us go easy on your poor sister, shall we?"

Isabella awkwardly chuckled. "Of course." She got off the bed and smiled at Benedict before leaving the room.

Benedict made his way towards his fiancée her breakfast in his hands. He placed the tray on her nightstand and sat beside her. He bent down a little and placed a soft kiss on Elena's head.

"Good morning, love." He whispered in her ear.

Elena didn't move. All she let out was a soft sigh.

Benedict chuckled at it and went in to kiss her again. Starting with her cheeks, giving them soft pecks and slowly going down to her neck, giving them long passionate kisses.

Elena moved around again causing Benedict to stop and pull away. She turned her head away from the window and met eyes with her handsome soon-to-be husband's.

"Maybe I'll always pretend to be asleep every morning so you can wake me up that way." She said with a beautiful smiled.

Benedict leaned in again and attached his lips with Elena's again. And this time the kiss was more long and soft.

"I do hope my family hasn't been putting a lot of pressure on you for the past week." She told him as she sat up.

"Just about the right amount. But can you blame them? They want the groom to be ready just in time for the big day, which seems so far away." Benedict said with a hint of disappointment.

"It's only two days, love."

"The moment I get my tux, I am going to marry you."

"Welcome! Please come in, come in." Lord Bennet welcomed the Bridgerton's in the house. "It is wonderful that we get to have the whole family together, for this beautiful union." He said referring to Elena and Benedict.

The servants closed the entrance door as everyone entered the house, including Daphne and Simon.

"Daphne." Elena called as she spotted her dear friend entering the house. She walked towards her and embraced her in a big hug. "I am beyond glad that you can come and I apologize that I couldn't attend your wedding."

"Please, Elena. Do not apologize for that. That's in the past, let's look into the future now." Daphne smiled at Elena.

The two families started chatting amongst themselves about the wedding and their lives.

Lord Bennet cleared his throat grabbing everyone's attention. It went quiet and they all turned to him.

"Shall we move into the drawing room?" He asked.
