The day of the wedding finally arrived, and Crystal was feeling very anxious. She had said that she wanted a simple ceremony, but Eric had disregarded her wishes, and all he had to say for himself was, “Surprise!”
“Fuck my life,” she muttered, and he had laughed... as if she had been joking. She hadn’t been.
On the way to the ceremony, she looked out the window and frowned. There was a helicopter hovering adjacent to the RV, and it was filming her approach. No doubt, it is being streamed online - she thought. “This is too much,” she said.
Eric smiled and said, “It’s for you. I spared no expense.”
The road was lined with guests. From among them, Crystal spotted Nathan, and her face
Joyce stared at the television carefully. She was trying to find fault with Eric, to make herself feel better. But the more she looked at him, the more fascinated she became. She wished that she could take Crystal’s place. If wishes were horses - she thought sadly - then beggars would ride... The makeup artists were fixing Nancy’s makeup, and as she looked in the mirror, she thought - I wonder if people will be able to see - She had been told that there would not be a lot of people and the ceremony - So, why are there so many journalists? There was chaos all around her, and everyone was busy. Crystal was doing an interview with the journalis
Nancy turned in his arms so that they were facing each other, and she pounded on his chest with her fists. She could tell that she was not hurting him, and she quickly gave up. “Do you think you can hurt me?” Paul smirked. “You are a weak woman,” he said, and then he ran his hands through her hair, ruining the up-do that had taken two hours to set straight. He had wanted to make her look like a ragamuffin, but her disheveled appearance had the opposite effect. It made her look like an innocent, simple princess. Paul’s breathing became disordered, and he began to pants. He had not intended to take possession of her today. He had only wanted to embarrass her. At this moment, though, she looked pure and attractive, and her appearance made his heart beat fast. Without even thinking about what he was doing, he started to tear open her wedding dress.
As Paul finished speaking, he separated Nancy’s legs. She tried to fight him off, but he was too strong. “No!” she shrieked. “I am not the kind of woman that you think that I am. You said that I pretended to be innocent and pure. You said that I lied to you, but if I had, what would my purpose have been?” “Because you coveted my money!” Paul exclaimed. “Bah!” Nancy’s face soured. “What have you ever given to me, other than heartaches and headaches? I had to bear your bad temper for simple things like getting a new dress, and you certainly never gave me money!” “That’s one of your schemes,” Paul explained. “You bore all of this. You hid your pride to relax my will so that you could gain my trust and defeat me. But luckily, I saw through your schemes.” “When did I get
After having been thrown out of the room, Crystal took out her cell phone and called Eric. When he answered, she told him everything that she had seen. Paul put his fingers under Nancy’s nose, and when she smelled the scent of her vag*nal fluids on his fingers, she nearly threw up. Paul grinned. “You like that,” he said. “Don’t you?” Then, when she opened her mouth to protest, he crammed his fingers between her lips. Nancy began to gag and squirm, but Paul held the back of her head with his free hand so that she could not get away. “What a dirty girl.” He laughed as his fingers rubbed over her tongue. Nancy growled deep in her throat, and she bit them as hard as she could, but it did not help. Paul did not let up. Instead, he sighed and said, “We were just about done, but now I have to punish you for biting me. Y
Nancy turned to Eric and said, “Go to the church. Tell them to delay the wedding by thirty minutes.” Eric sighed and said, “I can give you twenty minutes, but not a minute more. I will wait for you at the church. Don’t be late!” Once Eric was gone, Crystal shouted for the makeup artist. “Do we have enough time?” Nancy asked nervously. “I’m not sure,” Crystal admitted. “Your makeup is one thing, but what about your dress? It looked fine at first, but now I can see that it is not. Hand it over. I’ll see if I can fix it?” “How?” Nancy frowned and said, “There are no needles or thread here...” “Just give it to me!” Crystal exclaimed. “I need to wash it before I can even try to mend it.”
The journalists adjusted their cameras so that they could get the best possible pictures. These were seasoned reporters, and when the slideshow began, even they were caught off guard. The images on the screen were pornographic. They were not expected or appropriate for a wedding. The audience gasped in unison. Even though the private parts had been blurred, the photographs left nothing to the imagination. Nancy was dumbfounded. She was the woman in the pictures! The slides kept changing, and each photograph was more incriminating than the last. Worst of all, the pictures had been carefully chosen to protect the identity of the man in them. The one thing that people could tell about the man, though, was that he was not Noah. Nancy’s mind went blank. She could no
Nathan glared at their hands, and the daggers that shot from his eyes cut deep into Crystal’s heart. Why is he here? she asked herself. - He must have known that nothing good could come from barging in like this… “Remove your dirty hands from my woman,” Nathan shouted. There were over a dozen guns aimed at Eric’s head, but they did not seem to faze him. “Your woman?” Eric scoffed. “Good Sir, she is my wife! “She didn’t say, I do.” Nathan chuckled and said, “If yet she goes, I will let you live.” Eric shrugged, “I’m not afraid of your tanks. However, you should look outside and see how the situation has changed.”
The gun seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and Crystal’s arms were trembling. Her face was flushed, and her forehead was damp with perspiration. She had thought that she could shoot him easily, but something was holding her back. Crystal wanted to turn around and point the gun at Eric. She felt like she was in a nightmare, and she wanted time to stop so that she could walk away from all of this. Nathan smiled weakly and said, “If you are going to do it, do it. You have my blessing. I cannot live without you anyway.” Crystal’s whole body began to shake, and she began to weep quietly. She turned to Eric. “I’m sorry,” she whined. “But I’m not a killer…” Eric nodded encouragingly. He smiled and said, “You can. I believe in you, you just need to believe in yourself.
