Two weeks later.
D-Day.
*
Diana’s pov.
I looked at my reflection in front of the lengthy mirror with a frown.
“Awn, the wedding gown sure looks good on you.”the makeup artist complimented.
I scoffed.
It would have been more nice if it was for the wedding between I and Adrian.
The door was kicked opened and a girl stepped in and kicked it close.
“I heard you’re the bride? How about a quick beating before you go out there?”she asked and threw her bag on the sofa before moving closer to me.
“Oh my! Who are you? You will have to take me down first before you can touch her.”the makeup artist stood in front of me.
“Oh, what a nice sight.”the girl chuckles before grabbing my supposed security girl’s hair and yanked her to the side.
“You have a death wish?”I scoffed.
“I don’t. But, I’m willing to make yours come true.”she took a step closer to me and grasp my neck.
She looks at me icily and when I thought she was going to snap my neck to the side, she landed several kisses on my face.
“What the… move back.”I laughed while trying to push her off me.
“B! tch. You’re planning of getting married and you didn’t tell me? I’m suppose to chop out your eyes right now. Seriously?!”she frowned.
“Oh, well, sorry about that. Since you were out of the country, I didn’t want to disturb you.. and the wedding isn’t that great also.”
She threw daggers at me through her stare and I grinned.
“But, you did find out and here you are..”
She scoffed before throwing her right arm across to my left shoulder.
“Go tell them all that Milly is back.”
“It’s nice to have you back, babe.”I smiled.
She brought down her arm from my shoulder and wrapped both of her them around my neck.
“Shall we?.. baby?..”she cooed.
“Of course we shall.. I don’t know whatever this is but, we shall. So stop being seductive towards me and remove your hands.”
She removed her hands with a pout.
I turned back to the mirror and sighed.
“Hey. That frown won’t do. It’s a big day. So put on a big smile.”
She kissed my lips.
My eyes darted to the side and I saw the makeup artist giving us this kind of look.
“Don’t get the wrong idea…we are friends.. nothing more.. hahaha”
“Nah.. just tell her we are lovers.”
She gasps and covered her mouth.
I glared at Milky.
“What?, aren’t we? We are friends who love each other so we are lovers!”she rolled her eyes.
“Lucky bitch. You will be the mighty John’s bride in few hours. How does that makes you feel?”
“Awful.”I mouthed.
*
Aysel’s pov.
I carried the gifts to the queen’s car and sighed.
Life is so funny at times.
She is going to John’s wedding and I’m helping her put the gifts in her boot?
I clicked my tongue and turned around, walking back to the house.
“Lowlife brat. Come help me with my shoes!”Juliet hollered as she came out of the mansion.
I looked down at her shoes and saw that the laces were loosed.
Now, I’m gonna help her tie her shoelaces?
Nice. What a good way to say “Happy Married Life” to my ex – boyfriend.
I huffed before walking towards her.
*
Kelvin’s pov.
“What did you just say?”the boss was shocked.
I repeated what I’d said and he broke out into laughter.
“She is acting as a maid in the Blue house?”he scoffed.
“Aysel has got to be kidding me. Has she gone senile?”he added.
“Aysel doesn’t start a fight she is not going to win. She might act funny while in there.”I informed.
“How about we turn the table around then?. Go tell the queen about her identity. We will get rid of Aysel through her.”
*
Author’s pov.
Both the groom and bride stood on the aisle, facing each other.
The priest stood beside them as he read out the vows to them and the congregation.
“JOHN ROBINSON, will you have this woman DIANA DEANS as your wedded wife, to live together according to God’s ordinance in the Holy estate of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honour her and keep her in sickness and in health; and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her, so long as you both shall live?.”
“I WILL And may God help me.”he responded.
“DIANA DEANS, Will you have this man JOHN ROBINSON as your wedded husband, to live together according to God’s ordinance in the Holy estate of matrimony? Will you comfort him, honour him and keep him in sickness and in health;and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him, so long as you both shall live?”he repeated.
“I Will and may God help me.”she responded.
The people clapped happily.
“Now, is there anyone that doesn’t want us to join JOHN ROBINSON and DIANA DEANS together to become a union? It would be better if the person say it now or remain silenced forever.”the pastor questioned.
The audience looked around while the couple wished there would be such person deep down.
The pastor repeated it for the second time and Diana shuts her eyes, praying there would be an opposition and..
“Over here!”someone said and she snapped her eyes opened and turned to the audience.
Her eyes roamed around the crowd in sheer joy.
The room was dead silent as the lady moved to the front.
“Emma?”john whispers.
“Young lady, will you tell us the reason you do not want these couple to be joined together as one?, in the Holy estate of matrimony?”the officiant asked.
Emma looked over to John and smiles at his searching for an answer eyes.
She diverted her gaze back to the priest and giggled.
“I doubt if there would be someone like that. We are all in and ready for these couple.”she grinned.
The audience relaxed back on their chairs.
Diana hissed silently.
The priest prompted the ring bearer to come forward.
“Wear this rings as a reminder of the vows you’ve taken.”the priest said.
“Lord, bless these rings which we bless in your name. May these couple always have a deep faith in each other. in peace, good will, and love.”
John took a ring out of the box then grab Diana’s left hand.
“Now, repeat after me.
With this ring, I ask you to be my wife, 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 you, for time and all eternity.”
John repeated the words after him then slipped the ring inside her finger.
Diana also took the ring and repeated the words of the priest and wore the ring on John’s finger.
“Now let us humbly invoke God’s blessing upon this bride and groom, that in his kindness he may favor with his help, those on whom he has bestowed the Sacrament of Matrimony.”
“Amen.”the congregation said together.
“You may now exchange a kiss.”
Diana’s eyes popped out and John pressed his lips together.
“Come on, groom! Go for it!”someone yelled from the congregation and they all laughed.
He moved closer to her and sighed.
“They want us to kiss.”he muttered.
“Don’t do it.”she frowned.
“I’ll make it brief.”he whispered before claiming her lips in a hot kiss.
