I played light music in my car, humming to it as I drove to Rodrigo’s house. I just needed to be away from my family and their crazy passion of marrying me off.I drove into Rodrigo's mansion as I parked my car in front of his house and stepped out.“ Hey troll," Rodrigo said as soon as I stepped out of the car and I couldn't be but roll my eyes, “ Your face is boring," I said and he chuckled as we both walked into his house together.As soon as I reached his sitting room I fell on the couch in exhaustion. “ What's wrong? You look down compared to this morning, what changed?" Rodrigo asked, " I don't know Rodrigo, I just feel like something is off, like that man is planning something and I have no way around, it's just driving me crazy,” I said with a sigh," Hey chill, it's just your head messing with you, you came here to celebrate, not sulk,” he said as he handed me a glass of wine and I took it muttering a 'thank you’ " You're right, I'm letting this get to me, what are we hav
It felt like déjà vu, like I was watching a horror movie replay.I knew it, I knew that something was definitely going to go wrong, I should have listened to my instinct, I should have just listened.I turned to Rodrigo and he looked like he'd rather be anywhere but here.Everyone, and when I say everyone, I meant my nosy ass whole family, my aunties, uncles, cousins even Emilia was here. “ What is the meaning of this? Why did you lie to me Lucia?" I turned to my cousin who looked like she would disappear out of here any second. “ I'm sorry," she whispered. I have a feeling that she was forced to do this and she played the perfect actress like someone who was held at gunpoint.I finally turned to the culprit who was on one knee with a big bouquet in his hand, in fact the entire place was covered with flowers.“ What are you doing in my house Antonio? Why don't you go to your other woman?" I asked in anger," Please my dear, hear my son out, he's sorry, he has apologized and nothing
“ Ouch Rodrigo, why did you do that?" I groaned in pain as I tried to soothe the spot Rodrigo just pinched." I just wanted to make sure it's really you standing in front of me? Are you being serious right now?” he asked, his face an embodiment of shock. “ Chill Rodrigo, I should have done this sooner rather than go through all those dramas, now think about this," I said and he watched me with his hands folded looking at me like I had gone crazy.“ Okay, I'm listening, even if I know you're not thinking straight right now I'll still listen,” he said,“ Antonio hates me and I hate him more. What do you think would happen if we both get married and I become his biggest torture, I've done it once without the marriage, what do you think I'll do in the marriage?" I asked with a raised brow waiting for his response. “ You seem to forget that we were in highschool and he was a young boy who couldn't walk, now look at him….. “he said as his eyes went to Antonio who was talking to my Mom…. “
I looked at myself in the mirror and I couldn't help but smile, I looked like a goddess that just graced the earth with her beautiful presence.My wedding dress was a beautiful gown with elegance and timeless beauty. Its bodice was crafted from delicate lace, intricately embroidered with floral motifs that cascade down to the flowing skirt.The skirt had layers of soft tulle, each layer shimmering with a subtle sheen. A delicate train behind, adorned with delicate beading that catches the light. The dress features a low back, showcasing a hint of skin while maintaining a sense of sophistication. I wouldn't want them talking about an indecent bride would I? Overall, the dress was beautiful and perfectly made for me. I'd have to thank the designer after the wedding. “ Oh my gosh you look absolutely gorgeous," my friend Mickey said as she fanned herself and I couldn't help but smile. Leave Mickey to be overly dramatic.“ Yeah, she does look beautiful but nothing prepared me for the fa
“ I, Lillian Camilla Vincent, take you, Antonio Giovanni Gonzalez as my lawfully wedded husband, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health, till death do us part,” I said, as I slid the ring on his finger. I'm sure if anyone was looking closely or paying attention they would have noticed my fingers crossed, I couldn't lie in the presence of God now, could I?“ Now, your turn gentleman," the minister said as he turned to Antonio,... " Repeat after me please,” he said as he started speaking and Antonio repeated after him." I, Antonio Giovanni Gonzalez take you, Lillian Camilla Vincent as my lawfully wedded wife, to love and cherish, in sickness and in health, in good and bad times, until death do us part,” he said and I couldn't help but smirk,He wouldn't have to worry about the ‘Till death do us part’ because we're not even going to be married for long, this was all for show. He slid the ring into my finger and I could see something shine in his eyes like a brewing storm, he
I know she was purposely doing this to annoy me, she kept laughing and hitting my shoulder as she listened to her best friend talk about their shenanigans as children.She was having fun, well, she should have all the fun she wants now, I'll have my fun later. “ My best friend is a good person and I hope that her husband really cherishes her," he said and I couldn't help but scoff.I'm sure he knows everything happening and knows that we don't fucking love each other, then what was he saying? And what good person was he talking about? Was it the same woman sitting beside me or someone else.What was even more shocking was that all her friends were saying the same thing about her being a good person. It's either they were scared of telling her the truth or she bewitched them. They all kept praising her and I just watched them in boredom.“ Are you jealous? You should get friends like mine," she whispered to my ear,“ Nahh, I wouldn't like to be surrounded by crackheads like that," I
THIRD PERSON'S POVI watched them from my seat as I smiled in satisfaction, I didn't expect everything to be so easy nor did I expect things to fall in place so quickly.I had thought I'd have to fight and fight but looking at them, there was going to be no more drama, everything that was meant to be mine would become mine.For a long time she has been in my way and I just didn't know how to eliminate her. I had thought of killing her but that would have been too suspicious, so I watched, planned and waited and it seems my efforts paid off.She was finally out of my way. I took a glass of champagne as I slowly drank from it, looking at the newly wedded. They have no idea that in this room, I'm the happiest about their marriage. ‘ How's the ceremony going, was there any drama?’ a message popped up on my phone screen and I couldn't help but smile,‘ Everything went as planned, they're married––Not yet, the drama is yet to come,’ I typed back before sending the message,‘ What are you
My heart was pounding in my chest as I watched the snake crawl out of the box.“ Shit! Why the fuck did you take that box?" Antonio asked in anger as he tried to use a stick to push the snake back into the box but the snake hissed at him,“ Be careful you fucker," I said and he turned to me with a glare.“ Hurry up, it's getting away, do you want a snake hanging somewhere in the house?" I asked as I moved back. He finally pushed the snake into the box and as soon as it was inside I covered it, pressing the cover tightly as Antonio took the box from me. “ What a beautiful coincidence, a snake presented to a snake as a gift, this person sure knows you," he said mockingly before walking away. I could still feel my body shaking with fear as I looked around like a snake would suddenly appear.I noticed a small note on the floor which I guess must have fallen out from the box.I picked up the note and opened it.‘ I hope you like your gift Lillian, more is to come.’ The note read and I f
