Cheryl POV
I ran as my leg could carry me
I curse, my wedding gown and heels were stopping me from running
"Stop that little bitch!" I heard my stepmother yelled at my bodyguards as she ran after me
They were chasing after me
I breath heavily, raising my gown up in order to move easily
I just have to keep running for few minutes because any moment from now I should be enter the wedding hall
I turn around ,they were a few meter from me
I smirk
In your face Rosella
And just when I was beginning to celebrate, I tripped on my gown and fell, hitting my face on the ground
I groan in pain trying to get back on my feet but before I could they got to me and held me
My step mom pant "you...stupid bitch, are you crazy? You should thank your goddess that they are no reporters nearby" she glared at me "you were always a trouble for me and my girls , now that I've finally have the opportunity to get you out of my house you want to make trouble for me?" She scoff "not on my watch"
I glared at her"it was never your house , it is my mom's and will always be hers"
She roll her eyes"the dead can't have a house or home dummy,only the living " she smirk
I clench my fist in anger
"Now don't be a spoilt brat and go get married ,you will be doing your Dad a big favour especially now when he wants to expand his business"she said dusting my gown from dirt "escort her to the make up room, they will have to redress her again , and tell them to do it snappily" she ordered them
They bow, dragging me as I struggle "you think you've got rid of me" I scoff "you're wrong, I will be the one to get rid of you, Rosella"I yelled
She chuckle
They got me redress and soon I was walking down the aisle with my Father on my right hand
I look around, at a side of the church were my relatives and my girls , my girls are the only people I associate myself with and they were all high class like myself but I was above them,they all see me as the leader of our little squad so I invited them even though I hated the idea of getting married to someone I didn't know, I still wanted them to see how glamorous it will be, the other side was the guy's relations and friends
The hall was beautifully decorated, everything was magnificent , my stepmother had definitely made sure that event was according the taste of the Williams family
The Williams family were one of the wealthiest family , I would have been glad that I was marrying into such a family but the family has terrible reputation , they were known to be cold hearted , mean , bad etc and one thing I know is that my step mom will never marry me into a place where I'll be happy
I Cheryl do not want to be part of such a family
Soon I was at the alter , my dad left me and went to the congregation
The priest began the ceremony , soon it was time for our vows
"Do you take Asher Williams as your lawfully wedded husband" the priest asked me
I bit my lips and look over to my Dad who had an expressionless face , my step mom glared at me
I scoff "yes"
He turn to the handsome man by my side, I must admit although I don't want to get married , this man is so handsome with beautiful eyes , thin lips, tall, with abs
I drool
"and do you take Cheryl Kingsley as your lawfully wedded wife?"
I snapped from my thoughts and waited for his reply
Part of me hope he would say no and stop the wedding and part of me hope he would say yes
"Yes" he replied
The priest smiled "you may kiss your bride"
He turn to look at me and frown " No"
I could hear a chuckle from my step mom
"Kissing girls is bad" he said
I raise a brow
WTF , what is wrong with him?
An elderly woman rush to the alter and whisper something into his ears
He stare at me
I was becoming impatient , what a disgrace
I held him and force my lips on his
I felt a force push me from him
I fell hitting my ass on the ground, it didn't hurt much because of the thickness of the wedding gown
He pushed me! Me!
I wanted to stand up and give him a piece of my mind but looking at the congregation, their mocking smile , I couldn't , I felt so embarrassed
thank goodness the only people invited were friends and family
But still,all those girls that look at me like an untouchable goddess
I felt like crying , I bit my lips and remained on the ground pretending I've lost consciousness and hoping the ground would open up and swallow me
The elderly woman close to him gasp"carry her out" she whisper yelled
His frown deepened "she is pretending, she's lying" he pointed his finger at me accusingly
Shit!! I curse in my mind
My eyes which had been slightly open quickly shut tightly
I heard him scoff "it's obvious Nanny"
Nanny? Who brings his Nanny to the alter! To make it worst it's the Nanny that's telling him what to do
Oh my gosh! What has my step mom gotten me into
"Just take her out and remember to smile, some reporters maybe lurking nearby" I heard the elderly woman who should be the Nanny said
He groan unwillingly
"Your mother is watching" she said sternly
I felt him carry me , immediately the congregation clapped and scream happily like nothing just happened, definitely everyone was just pretending
Including me
I clench unto my gown tightly as he carried me then he stopped , I heard a woman whisper to me"everyone knows you are pretending, you were never a good actor , once you come out , make sure you open your eyes and start smiling "
I flew my eyes open irritated by my step mom voice
She smirk
We were at the end of the hall
I bit my lips , refraining myself from saying anything as they open the gate
I light up my face and smiled walking towards the car
The only words in my heart were curses for my step mom, for her daughters who didn't bother to attend , for my Dad who let such a woman to take mom's place,for the idiot I just got married to, for everyone that attended the wedding
Curses, that all I could do , I didn't have the power to call off this stupid wedding, I could only curse in my heart as I prepare myself towards my marriage life
