When Rebecca was young, she had done something unforgivable to her two close friends, Justin and Vivian. On the day that Justin and Vivian was to hold their engagement, Rebecca laced drugs on their drinks. Rebecca sent Vivian to sleep with her stepbrother Kenneth while accidentally, she ended sleeping with Justin. Being born from rich old fashioned families, the disgrace forced Vivian to get married to Kenneth and Rebecca to Justin. On their wedding day, Justin whispered to Rebecca, "I will never forgive you until I see your last breath."
Most brides, on their wedding day, often burst into happiness. But not Rebecca Blaze. Her eyes were puffy and red, and her cheeks were swollen pink. She had been slapped twice today. First, by her best friend Vivian Brown and by her mother-in-law, Madam Lea Miller.
No, make up could cover her disheveled appearance. She looked worse than a shabby beggar. There was even an oil that was poured on her head. Though her wedding dress was expensive, the wine that was thrown in her face trickled down to her chest, down to her wedding gown, leaving an ugly discoloration.
But Rebecca could not protest. She had to endure being in the room with people who wanted to devour her. She told herself that one hour more, she would be out of this misery. This morning she received a call that both her mother and brother would be flying out of the country. And once Rebecca was certain that these two people were safely hidden, she would abandon this farce wedding.
She paid a lot of money to make sure that her mother and brother could be kept hidden abroad. The three of them had been targeted by her stepbrother, Kenneth, and by her husband, Justin.
Rebecca was fully aware that today's wedding was meant to embarrass her to the max. Last month, she and her husband Justin Miller took their marriage license at the Marriage Bureau under the strong coercion of her stepbrother, Kenneth. On that day, under Justin's evil and fiery gaze, Rebecca knew that her life would be changed for the worse.
After signing their marriage, Justin immediately left the building without glancing back. Rebecca went home alone to comfort her mother and brother.
Then again, yesterday, Kenneth ordered Rebecca to go to Push Hotel to attend her wedding. Rebecca was perplexed since she had not chosen any wedding gown. She was supposed to sneak out of the country with her mother and brother, but had to unfortunately attend a wedding event which she had no preparation at all. But her mother's travel was made in high secrecy, therefore Rebecca was confident it could be accomplished today.
But whatever would happen today, her mother and brother must fly out of the country. Rebecca was certain she could handle any adverse events planned by her brother and husband today. Therefore, Rebecca was left behind.
Thus, Rebecca endured everything today. When Vivian visited her to ask why she did it, Rebecca did not answer a word, thus Vivian, out of anger, slapped her.
It was just what Rebecca wanted, to be slapped so that she could purport to black out. After Vivian slapped her, Rebecca immediately fainted.
Vivian looked at her hand, she was scared of what she did. She only gave her a weak slap to shake her up, but why did Rebecca faint? Thus she carried Rebecca and helped her sleep on the couch. Vivian was so anxious of what she did with her best friend that she hurriedly ran way like a rabbit.
Rebecca peered at the escaping back of Vivian. She was still lying on the couch weakly when her mother-in-law entered the room, shouting angrily. Not again, Rebecca grumbled.
"Rebecca, what do you mean by sleeping on the couch now and letting people wait for you? Do you mean to embarrass the Miller family with your insolence! Get up, get up!" Lea Miller's face was full of contempt as she hurled more insults to her. Since Rebecca did not move, Lea Miller slapped her on the other cheek.
Rebecca pretended not to hear anything. Thus Lea Miller kicked her. The kick hurt, but no matter, she had to bid for more time. Her mother and brother had not yet boarded the plane! Thus she feigned to weakly stand up and swayed towards the waiter carrying the wine and scented oil for the room. The oil was spilled on her hair. The wine formed a brown blotch on her gown.
Her hair got disarrayed when Lea Miller pulled her up since Rebecca bent her head.
When she stood up, her lipstick smudged to the sides of her lips, the black eye mascara darkened her eyeliner.
Tick tick tock tick.
Tick tock tick tock.
The sound of the clock heightened her senses.
Rebecca kept looking at the clock hanged on the wall. A cold sweat formed on her forehead.
Then her phone rang. She quickly listened to the voice that whispered. "The plane had departed to Luxembourg. They are safe."
Rebecca almost collapsed to the floor. Tears of gratefulness welled in her eyes.
Rebecca looked like a zombie bride. But because her mother and brother had flown out of the country, she then slowly strolled towards the wedding hall with full smiles while Lea Miller followed her with contemptuous glare.
Nobody could touch her family now. She felt relieved and triumphant.
"I Rebecca Miller, would never be defeated." Rebecca smiled with a weird smile formed on her lips.
Now everybody in the party looked at her evil grin and was of the conclusion that what they heard was true. That this bride had been just like her mistress-mother Michelle, both evil women who broke up happy relationships.
When Rebecca sat in the middle of the wedding banquet, she was alone. Her husband Justin stood far away, looking at her with grim eyes and thin lips. He meant to humiliate her and make her a laughing stock by abandoning the bride at the wedding banquet.
However, Rebecca did not look embarrassed at all but was happily devouring several dishes, her favorite walnut cake and raspberry ice cream.
For the past three days, she barely ate when she was busy planning to slip her mother and brother abroad. Now that they were out, her stomach felt hungry for the first time. Uncaring of the other's gazes, she ate with gusto!
