Chapter 6: The Wedding Must Continue.

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-27 21:03:08

At the wedding venue, some distance away from the Renwick Manor, ripples of disbelief quickly spread through like wildfire.

Although the wedding was supposed to be private, word has a way of quickly traveling, especially when the impossible had just happened before the few selected audience present.

“So the Sebastien heir is not crippled?”

“Could this be a set up?”

“Are Renwick's aware?”

“Did they think they could deceive the Sebastiens?

Many more started to whisper, and suddenly, it doesn't matter that only a few people were originally invited to grace the wedding ceremony.

The weight of the revelation felt too great to be held in. Business associates, family allies, and even the high ranking guests who were in the hall of the event started exchanging funny looks, sending texts and making hushed calls.

Within some minutes, everyone in the Sebastien estate and beyond will come to know the truth.

Back at the Renwick’s Manor, Derek Renwick stands frozen, with a poorly concealed panicked face. He had believed, no, he had assured himself that Ciel Sebastien was nothing more than a weak, powerless man.

An easy target for emotional manipulation since he was supposedly disabled. Now he watches as the man he had underestimated stands tall, a commanding force that makes him feel small in his presence.

This can't happen.

He can't allow this marriage to go through, not like this. If Ciel is truly powerful, then the Renwicks have placed their bet on the wrong daughter. If he lets Roxanne marry him now, it will be her in the position of power, and not Reina.

No, he will not allow it.

“Hold on!” Derek steps forward, trying to force a strained chuckle. “I see that there has been some…. misunderstanding. A mere miscommunication. I believe, Mr. Ciel, we can fix this. The arrangement was always meant for…”

“You seem to misunderstand something, Mr.Renwick.” Ciel's voice is so smooth, but also as sharp as a blade.

He did not raise it, yet the whole room seems to still be at the weight it carries. His silver eyes looked at Derek, holding him down with a single gaze. “I do not fancy deception.”

Derek stiffens. He tries again, bottling up his pride. “Of course, an annulment can be arranged. There is no need to bound yourself to the wrong woman when the intended bride ....”

Ciel's eyes darkened as he heard that. “Wrong woman?”

Derek could not speak any further.

“Do you mean to say my wife is unworthy of me?” He asked as his tone shifted to a dangerous one.

The entire room was still.

Roxanne is standing still behind him, still trying to process everything. The weight of the moment is choking.

She feels like she's been thrown into a battlefield without prior notice, yet here is Ciel, standing tall, protecting her, and claiming her.

Her whole life, she has been nothing but an inconvenience to the family. Always tossed aside, and ridiculed. Yet, here is a man, one of great power, refusing to let anyone cast her aside like filth.

Ciel's fingers touched hers. It was not forced, just there, a silent reminder.

“I will say this just once,’ Ciel continues. “This wedding will continue as planned. Roxanne is my wife, and that will not change.”

Derek's mouth was agape with surprise, but there is no form of protest he can bring on. Not when Ciel's presence makes the whole room heavy.

“Wait, this is absurd!”

All of them turn to Reina as she finally regains her voice. She had spent the last few minutes frozen in Shock, her mind trying so hard to process the revelation that the man standing in front of her is Ciel Sebastien, the same man she had laughed at, and dismissed.

This was not how she intended for it to go.

She was supposed to be the one standing next to him. She was supposed to be his wife, not Roxanne.

“You can't be serious right now,” she said, her voice filled with forced unbelief. “This was a mistake. That…..she was never meant to be your bride! The arrangement was for me! I….”

Ciel barely even looks at her. He flickers his gaze on her for half a second, then walks away as if she is not even worth his time.

That single dismissive act burns worse than an outright rejection.

Reina’s face turns red, as her first trembles.

Ciel turns back to Roxanne, extending his hand to her properly now. His expression was unreadable.

“Come with me.”

Roxanne hesistes for a second, not out of fear, but out of disbelief. This man, her husband, was choosing to continue with this wedding despite the trouble that had just happened.

She looks at him, trying to see if she could get some answers.

Ciek didn't say anything else, but the look in his eyes seems clear.

“Trust me,” he said.

So she places her hand in his.

The moment she does, Ciel leads her out of the room, towards the car that took them to the wedding venue.

The officiant, who had been waiting, quickly scrambles to continue the ceremony.

Just as the vows were about to be exchanged, someone shouted from the hall.

“This is a joke!”

It was Devian, he and the others had also followed to the venue as Ciel left with Roxanne. His humiliation and rage boiled over as he shouts, his voice resounding in the grand hall.

“Roxanne is not worthy of this marriage!” He looks at her with his face twisted in anger. “She is nothing! Just last night, she was sleeping with some random man at a bar!”

Gasps can be heard across the hall.

Roxanne stiffens as her face pales.

Sbe does not dare to look at Ciel.

Devian, sensing a chance, laughs in a mocking manner. “Yes, that's right. Your precious bride was tainted before you even married her. I bet she…”

The words got stuck in Devian’s throat because Ciel smirks.

Not in anger, not in disgust, but in total amusement.

He leans a bit towards Roxanne, his voice so low so that only she can hear.

“Should I tell them it was me?”

Her breath catches as he says that.

But before she can react, Ciel turns his head and gives Devian a look. Not a furious one, not outraged. Just a boring one.

“Are you done embarrassing yourself?” He asked in a cool manner.

The hall remains silent.

Devian swallows, realizing the power imbalance between them is something he can not control.

The ceremony proceeded as usual.

With no further interruptions, the officiant moves forward and in a matter of time, the vows were said, the rings were exchanged, and Roxanne is officially bound to Ciel Sebastien as his wife.

From the sidelines, Evelyn's nails dig into her palm, and Reina's lips tremble with anger.

This was supposed to be their victory.

But it is not over yet.

Both of them will make sure Roxanne regrets this.

    The drive to the Sebastien estate is chokingly silent.Roxanne sits in the back of the luxury car stiffly, her hands curled into her lap. Across from her, her new husband reclines with effortless grace, his suit well tailored, and his gaze distant.He has not spoken a word to her since they left the wedding venue, not even a whisper of reassurance, no comments…. Just nothing.It was as if the whole drama at the wedding had been nothing more than a formality to him.The reality of it starts to settle on her like a huge weight.She is now Roxanne Sebastien.Not by her choice, not by love, but her circumstance.When the car finally pulls over at the estate, Roxanne felt herself gasping.The Sebastien estate is something out of a dream, it was a kingdom.

    She moved carefully the next day down the halls of the mansion. Such estate was literally a world in itself, vast and bigger than one could think, and silent.One could smell power and wealth from every part of the house, from the crystal chandeliers overhead to the windows that looked at the perfectly manicured gardens. The ceilings were dauntingly lofty with elaborate ornate, and the air perfumed with the faintest scent of polished wood and expensive cologne. It had its beauty, but it was distinctively chilling.And she felt it was not meant for her.Not because she was not worthy, no, she refused to believe that.But because this world had been built without her in mind.Heavily weighed down by the Sebastien name, even more so than the heaviest piece of jewelry she had ever worn, she walked along corridors where she could feel the eyes of the staff upon her. Their faces were placid, as far as she could tell; they had little to say to each other, but She wasn't that naive. There

She was looking desperate.“I am here to see Ciel,” she said with a firm voice. “There has been a terrible misunderstanding.”The butler, an older man with a look of practiced indifference, replied evenly, “Mr. Sebastien has not requested to see any visitors.”Reina's polished bravado cracked for a split secon

    Every black Tie Charity Gala is a work of art. For a typically grand ceremony like this, an equally grand venue in New York takes precedence: the who-who from this gala extends from CEOs all the way down to celebrities, that mix of power players that have fashioned this city into one of wealth and influence.Photographers lined the entrances, illuminating the red carpet stretching toward the double doors of the ballroom with their flashes.Roxanne sat inside the limousine now almost slowing down. She shifted uncomfortably, the cool sliding sweat slipping between her fingers and the fine cloth of her dress.The dress had been selected out of a whole list drawn by the sebastien family, especially for occasions like this. It was a very elegant piece-black and clung to her curves, then flowed effortlessly onto the floor.It was the kind of piece designed to turn heads, not that she was quite sure it was a good t

    Roxanne had remained as an observer since her marriage to Ciel. She was never included in things that concerned the family except when it's needed to put on a public display.The estate where she stays with her husband is quite big and showcases power, and wealth.She had been wandering around it for the few days she had been married, trying to get to know it's occupants.She had been married into one of the powerful families in the country, but she never felt included.She was not okay with being a wife that's tossed into the background. She would not let herself be looked down upon again, and disregarded.Now that she's here, she would make sure she carry the Sebastien name with purpose.And she was going to let Ciel know about it, tonight.She found him in his study, as usual, with a glass of whiskey beside him.He looked relaxed, but Roxanne knew better.

Vivienne Montclair.”“She's highly connected, and influential, and…” Roxanne could see something like amusement in his eyes.“And?” She asked as she arched her eyebrows.“And she is presently interfering in a business deal that concerns me.

I am going to destroy her.”

    As Ciel left her on the green, Reina felt indignation run through her.She stomped her feet on the green grass as heavily as possible.She was furious.She had been trying to hold the anger in.But she had to let it out now that he had left.Her perfectly done and styled hair that she had spent a considerable amount of time to get done, now felt heavy and kind of pointless.Her confidence had been at an all time high when she got here had actually shattered the moment she realized Ciel had seen through her schemes but she had kept a straight face.She could not believe it.She had been subtly mocked again.Her advances had been rejected.Ciel had not even shown any signs that whatever she did had gotten to him.He had not considered entertaining the idea of her advances.She thought she was making progress when he agreed to play a game with her.Only to realize he had agreed only to make it clear to her that she disgusted him.Her fingers clenched around the gold club as she bent down

    As Ciel gathered his things in a bid to move away, his mind thought about many things.He had never been the one to indulge in meaningless conversations, but the way Reina was pursuing the conversation with him in a relentless manner was becoming amusing to him.As he turned to away, he hesitated and looked back to Reina.His lips then curled into a smirk.“You know, I heard an interesting rumor, Reina.”Raising an eyebrow, she asked with some interest.“Oh really? What kind of rumor could that be?”He calmly set his things down with an effortless grace that only added to his aura.He then tilted his head a bit, looking at her in a way that seems to be weakening every single one of her defenses.Still smirking, he said.“I heard you were pregnant.”The words came unexpectedly to Reina.It felt like a slap to her face, but she managed to keep her expression neutral.Regardless of how she tried to compose herself, she could feel her pulse quicken as she heard what he said.With a scoff,

    “It's cold out there.

    And for the first time in a long while, Derek felt nervous.He had not felt this way before now.All his business life, he had walked into buildings with his head high, because he knew everyone around him would bow to his authority.He had always commanded respect whenever he went effortlessly, and used power like a tool.But today, as he stood before the big entrance of his late wife's company, the mother of Roxanne, Bellamy Couture, he felt like he had never been there before.He felt like a beggar coming to beg for alms.He was dressed in an old, nondescript coat.He had a cap pulled over his face very low.He does not look like the man who had been the largest shareholder of this company.He was, however, not here as Derek Renwick, former largest shareholder.He was here under disguise as a father, one who was desperately hoping to seek an audience with his daughter he had once thrown aside.He looked at the glass doors, looking so large before him.It shone under the midmorning s
