"What do you mean Natalie? I thought we talked about this? You are getting married in less than three hours, we are supposed to be on our way to the chapel soon, why the sudden change?"Nicole asked, confused as to how to handle this, it was so not what she expected and she hadn't prepared for this. After their discussion yesterday it had crossed her mind but she had shoved it because Natalie had assured her that she won't bailout."I can't do this, I can't get married now,""You said yesterday that you won't bail out, why are you doing this now Natalie? What happened? You were excited until a few minutes ago, I just went to my room and bang, you decided you don't want to be married again, what are you going to do? ""I don't know yet, I just know I don't want to be married,""You should have thought of that since it took two months or more to plan this wedding, you gave out invitations to people, not just any kind of people, big people, our relatives traveled from far, you got the m
"Hey Ina, what's up, I wanted to check up on how things are going on there,"She asked when Ina picked up."Nothing much yet but people are starting to arrive, where are you guys?""Still at home, the bride is not yet ready,""Oh, but you have to get here before time, I think the groom has arrived,""Alright, thanks,"Nicole said and ended the call, why was everyone arriving so early, the wedding wasn't until ten and it was just past eight, they still have at least two hours, Nicole walked back to Natalie 's room but she was nowhere to be seen, wondering where she went to, she ran downstairs looking for her, she checked their parent's room, the guest room but she wasn't there."Oh, no, this was bad, Natalie come on,"She said running back upstairs into her sister's room, she was there."What the fuck? I just came here and you weren't here and I have been looking for you and now you are here, where did you go to?""To get this,"She said pointing, showing her what she had in her hands
Nicole paced around the room, looking for a way to get through to Natalie without overdoing it, how could she use their town bond? She loved her sister but sometimes she makes it impossible to love her, and the fact that she had planned on not attending the wedding in the first place and now she was using a promise they made when they were kids against her, so manipulative and inconsiderate of others."Natalie, if that's what you want, then so be it, I can't marry a man I don't care about just to please you, and what's more he doesn't even know I exist and with the way it going to be, I will be married to him as someone else, no thank you,"Nicole said meaning every word, she had done enough for Natalie without expecting anything from her in return, her twin on the other hand have done nothing for her except use her for her own benefits."Nicole, I have the paper here we are both going to sign it, I promise I will be back but please don't say no, Rafael will destroy our family if I
Rafael checked his watch for the hundredth time, his bride to be was late, over an hour late, he tried her line again but it still wasn't going through, people were already seated, her parents were here too, everyone else was here except her and her sister, what the fuck was going on? He thought, pacing up and down in the room he had rented at the chapel. He just spoke to her parents and they couldn't reach her nor her sister. What kind of game was the bitch playing?"Hey, man any progress? The priest is starting to ask questions, have you been able to reach her?"Caleb who was acting as his best man asked as he entered the room, Rafael bit his lips and shook his head."Nothing, I can't get through to her, her parents sent someone to check the house but they aren't back yet."He explained, hoping this wasn't what he thought it was because if it turned out to be it, he would make her pay for bringing shame to him, he won't stop until she crumble completely, her family and their busines
Nicole nervously stood next to her dad as the officiating minister or MC she didn't know what he was, announced her entrance, she let out a nervous breath wondering how it would seem like if she just told the truth right now and be done with it, it sure won’t end up good for them and she was sure of it."Why did it take you so long to get here? You kept everyone waiting for hours”Her dad asked in a low but stern voice, Nicole bit hard on her lips to prevent herself from saying anything stupid or insulting, it wasn’t her dad’s fault he was pissed for her being late and rightfully so even though his anger was directed at the wrong person, he didn’t know that."I had to take Nat**, I mean Nicole to the airport,"She said biting her inner lips, she almost said Natalie, well it will take a while to get used to, honestly, right now, all she wants to do is turn and run, but then it was too late to run, she shouldn't have accepted to help, she regretted it, but right now except she wants to
After the church activities, the ceremony was moved to an event hall that she hadn't known about, she didn't really know much because she didn't bother to ask, all she thought was after the wedding everyone goes home but there was an after-party with even more people, cameras everywhere, various people coming to take photos with her, people she didn't even know, they still haven't had their couples dance so she knew it was far from over."Are you okay?"Her new husband, more like Natalie's new husband asked."Do I look okay? I have been smiling nonstop for photos with different people I don't even give a fuck about, why do I have to do this? Why are there so many cameras around and just how many more photos of me in the same dress are they going to take?"She asked, doing her best not to shout."What's wrong with you acting like you are new to this? You are always in the spotlight so this should be easy, in fact, you are the one that said there should be freedom to take photos,"Rafae
"Do we really have to go for a honeymoon? We can just stay in Florida, I honestly don’t think there is any need for us to leave the country,”Nicole said as their car left the venue, Rafael had just told a man he greeted a while before he got into the car that they were heading out of town for their honeymoon, she didn't like the idea of leaving Florida, not only did she not want to be left alone with Rafael, she didn’t want them away from where she knew."Why are you asking like you are just hearing about this? You suggested it and picked the location. Honestly, did you hit your head and lose your memory because you have been acting as if you did and I am beginning to worry, do we need to see a doctor?"Rafael asked, he sounded like he meant what he was saying, if only he knew that this was more than a memory loss."No, it's fine, I am just stressed out that's all,""Are you sure? First, you had a problem with the photographers you requested for, then the cake wasn't of your liking
"I am just going to ignore you,"She replied closing her eyes, she was done, anything else and she might do something stupid, she opened her eyes again when they got to the hotel they were staying for the night, she knew the hotel, she has seen it on TV a few times and knew Rafael owned it, she has never seen it up close, she waited for him to come get her as there were some paparazzi around, she hated them paparazzi and still couldn’t get her head around why they always follow people around and why them people tolerate them."Let's go in my lady,"He said reaching out for her she rolled her eyes and took his hands, cameras started flashing as soon as she stepped out, she smiled and waved at them like Natalie would do even though she was losing it inside, it was crazy the amount of flash lights that were trying to blind her all in the name of taking photos of her to create headlines. When they finally entered the lobby, she let out a sigh of relief, Rafael didn't let go of her hands
