The door to the hotel was pushed open and Anna walked in, a smile stretching across her lips..
"I'm so jealous now sister, just look at how beautiful you look.. I suddenly want to get married too. "Anna said, walking towards me and wrapping her arms around my shoulders as she looked at me through the mirror , I smacked her arms playfully..
"Hey you silly girl.. Have you lost your mind, I won't let you get married at such a young age.. "I said, causing Anna to burst into laughter and I joined her in laughing..
The door was pushed open again and I saw Victor walking in, a smile on his lips.. He looked handsome in his tuxedo, his brown hair neatly combed, his brown eyes sparked with happiness, Amanda followed behind him with a smile on her lips.. She was my best friend since high school and I loved her just like my little sister Anna.. These people were going to be my only family and I was really happy to have them in my life, I couldn't ask for me..
My parents were the richest people in the city owning all the most uncountable hotels In the country and outside the country.. When I turned eighteen, I took over the business and I expanded it even more to other countries.. I could proudly say that I was the richest woman in this country, I had my family with me.. My life seemed to be going just how I planned it, everything was perfect and my heart was swelling with joy..
"You are looking like a princess my dear, I can't wait to get married to you now.. "Victor said softly, causing my cheeks to flush with heat, my heart skipping a beat..
"You are looking beautiful indeed Cynthia, may no one caste an evil eye on you.. "Amanda said sweetly and I smiled..
"Shall we, my dear? "Victor asked, bringing out his hand to me, I placed my hand into his and we started walking out of the hotel room... We're having a small ceremony with only us because Victor said he doesn't like crowds so we were just having a small celebration with only my family and friends and a few of his friends..
The ceremony went very smoothly and my happiness was now overwhelming when I signed the marriage certificate.. Everything felt too good to be true, I've never once been so happy in my entire life, I just wanted this happiness to last throughout my entire life.. I wanted to have a happy marriage with my husband, give my sister everything she wants so all of us could be happy..
Victor held my hand gently as we sat inside the car, a smile on his lips, I couldn't help but smile, we were going to our new home, which we've brought together, we were going to start a new life, have our own kids and have a big family..
"I have a surprise for you, I'm sure you are going to like it.. "Victor said softly, his brown eyes gazing into mine, I averted his gaze, a shy smile crept to my face.. Today was going to be our first night together and I was honestly nervous, I've never been touched by anyone before.. I was just glad the man I loved and married was going to be the first guy to touch me..
"Being with you makes me really happy Victor, you are the best thing that ever happened to me.. "I said softly, Victor let out a chuckle..
"You make me happy, Cynthia.. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.. "He said softly, the driver finally stopped the car in front of the villa.. Victor opened the door for me as I stepped out of the car and the two of us started making our way inside.. With Victor holding my hand..
"Where would you like to go on our honeymoon? "Victor asked, soft as we walked over the stairs, heading upstairs, it was already late and we were going to sleep..
"Where would you want us to go? "I asked softly, my tone just above a whisper, I was too happy, too shy and too excited at the same time, a lot of emotions swirled inside of me..
"I honestly would love to send you to heaven.. "Victor said softly and I laughed at his dark honour.
"Only if you have the ticket to heaven. "I replied as he pushed the door to our room open and my eyes widened in horror as I stood frozen on the ground as I watched the scene in front of me..
"Surprise!!"Victor said, the smile on his lips has disappeared completely, replaced by a cold smirk.. Amanda was lying on our bed in lingerie, holding a glass of wine in her hand, a smile on her lips.. She rose off the ground and walked over to Victor, she wrapped her arms around his neck and captured his lips, In a deep passionate kiss and he responded, pulling her closer.. I felt chills spreading through my veins, the room spinning around me.. I felt like I was in a nightmare I couldn't describe..
I'm dreaming right? Can some please tell me that this was all a dream, the reality was different.. Was it or this was just my reality?
