Chapter 2

A smile blossomed into my lips. This is what I have been waiting for in my entire life.

I can't imagine how lucky I am now as a bride.  I know it's a really surprise. Am I dreaming such a fairytale? I can't believe how long it has been takes.

After all, claiming it. Mr. Lucas and I have been waiting for our wedding comes true.

I know this is Lucas's dream. To share our lives with each other. To be with each other forever.

"You look so elegant and splendid my daughter, Iris. You are so precious." Mom softly said while I was grooming by hairdresser.

I know mom is very happy for me because I'm here. Her daughter is getting marriage to a billionaire.

Mom already fixed herself. She was wearing a priceless white gown cost of a million dollar. She looks so elegant. Mom hired a good designer for her own gown.

I just faced in the big mirror while being fixed my hair. Being a beautiful bride is once in a lifetime of a groom.

"Mom! Will all the guests attend my wedding with Lucas?" I asked worriedly.

"Yes my dear daughter. They will attend and everything was settled."

So there will be no problem when it comes to our wedding ceremony. That's fine. I know they also prepared this event.

I glanced at my phone. It just a little moment our wedding will starts. I can't wait it happen.

Of course, my heart is still racing. I can't help myself but feel a nervous. I know this is not a simplistic wedding.

Lucas's family have many begotten guests. I feel worried. Lucas's family is well known as a wealth family. They are recognized when it comes to the business.

Lucas's family owns the largest companies in the world. So the popularity of Lucas's family is not hidden from the eyes of many.

This is awaiting event for all. Lucas is also excited about our wedding today. I know he is very happy now.

I am so grateful to have him. Lucas is a perfect man in my eyes. A man who I can trust. And most of all he loves me more than everything else.

Trust is the most powerful anchor of love. That's what I gave to him. My full trust, love and pure attention.

After fixing myself. I have also prepared myself for the wedding event.

Everything was settled and everyone is here.

Many guests attended in Lucas's wedding. This is a wedding of the year.

Lucas's parents are the most influential in the country. Even in the Europe countries. So we have a lot of guests here from Europe.

I started walking to the dazzling red carpet. I was bombarded by the highest definition of cameras but I ignored them.

I'm still walking along to the beautiful aisle. I know the whole country even the whole world are watching as now.

Lucas was just waiting for me while smiling. He almost crying, even my mom crying too.

Lucas kept looking at me as I walking towards his place. He is very handsome in his tuxedo. He is an ultimately perfect groom now.

His simple smile gave a lot of sense to me. I know he is very happy because I will be in his arms forever.

I feel there are a million butterflies swarming inside my stomach. I feel it's multiplying even more.

When I got to Lucas's arms.

We immediately went in front of father Jose, the priest. Then Lucas and I sat down.

Lucas just smiled at me gently. I can see the excitement in his eyes and commitment.

A few moments later, father Jose started the wedding ceremony. Guests are just happy while keep watching us.

Now father will ask. Lucas and I are ready to answer his question.

"Lucas Vontero! Are you willing to marry that Iris Montrell will be your wife? Do you promise to be faithful to her through the hardships and in the good times?"

"Yes father." Lucas answered excitedly.

Father Jose was about to ask me but he look over us. I'm wondering why he cut his attention.

Lucas and I also turned to see who's there?

The Director of the company, Mr. Lim. He was holding a files. He shook his head while looking at us.

"Madam Chloe. There's something you need to know now." Mr. Director Lim confirmed.

He approached Lucas's mom and handed over the files he was holding.

I could see the shock in Lucas's mom's eyes when she saw the contents of the files.

No! What is it?

What is the content of the papers she was holding? She stood up and watched me, widened her eyes.

"Stop the wedding right now! We need to talk about this matter." Lucas's mom shouted in the middle of event.

I shook my head. The guests stood up and focused their attention at us. They are wondering what's going on?

I stood up and then Lucas also stood up beside me. I was almost shake by what Lucas's mom said. She keep watching me so devastated.

What's I have done? What's wrong? Asking myself while wondering.

"Mom! W-Why?" Lucas almost stumbled when  he asked his mother in surprise. Curiosity was there in his eyes.

"Iris what is this?" Lucas's mom asked me.

"W-which one?" I stuttered with my words caused of fear.

"You stole 200 million dollars from corporation companies? How did you do this to us?"

Guests starts whispering. All of them looking in my direction. I feel so ashamed and vanish. No!

I was froze and could not move where I was standing. I don't know what Lucas's mom is talking about?

Lucas's eyes widened as he turned his eyes with me. He couldn't believe it. No!

"Is this true Iris?" Lucas asked me. I shook my head because I really don't know anything about this matter.

Tears slowly fall from my little eyes. I can't imagine myself crying in front of him.

"Lucas. I-I can't do it. I can't steal the company's wealth. I don't know anything about this." my lips trembled down with fear.

"Stop explaining Iris. Whatever you say you are the one who did this. You stole the wealth from the corporation companies." Lucas's mom insisted. She was almost explode in anger.

"Because of what you did, Iris. You ruined the good image of our company." Lucas's mom threw the files in front of me that she was holding on.

"I will never expected that you will do this but you did Iris. Why did you do this to my son? How could you?" anger flared in her eyes.

I shook my head terribly. I didn't stole the money. My tears completely rolled down into my face.

I turned into Lucas's eyes. He shook his head disappointedly. His eyes are asking why I did this to him?

No! I can't do that. I love him very much.

"We need to cancel this wedding as now. Is that the kind of daughter will marry my son? No! So scary and terrible." Lucas's mom barked.

"Opportunistic and a gold digger? You are the only using my son to raise." he pointed me.

I cried while holding my elegant wedding gown. I'm shaking. No! I shook my head. Not now!
