Chapter 5

Rosa

They were shocked after all the explanation I gave them and even Clarissa pitied me, she knew how much I have wanted a lovely marriage and not one of this.

After we ate breakfast, we all dressed up and decided to stay in watching movies but Henry suggested shopping to clear off our minds.

This was the third shopping mall we would be going in and it truly walked out because I forgot almost everything going on with me.

He would pay for everything that we ate and whatever thing that needed to be paid. We even took pictures together.

Clarissa excused herself because there was a client causing issues at work and she said she wanted to fly back to Florida. Even though I insisted Henry following her, she said I needed someone by my side to cheer me up.

We escort her to the airport and after her plane took off, we both left to another shopping mall. I walked inside the mall hand in hand with Henry.

This was a dressing mall and it looked unique but not like my own, “Their mall is so beautiful or don’t you think? ” He agreed to what I said and I started picking the dresses that suit my taste.

“You should call your girlfriend and inform her your best friend is about to suck you Dey and lead you bankruptcy.” I laughed and he showed me his phone.

“Seriously you guys were on video call all this while, and aren’t you on plane, why are you on your phone?” She chuckled.

She explained to me how the plane was stopped from flying and they had delayed their flight but she can’t leave because they’ll call for departure anytime soon.

I decided to try out one of the dress and went in, after I came out, he showed Clarissa on the phone and she wouldn’t stop hyping me.

“Henry, what do you think too?” I asked him, he was busy staring at Clarissa and not look at the dress.

"Oh my freaking God, my friend you are beautiful." He complimented, “Is there anything that doesn’t suit your body and color huh?” He winked which made Clarissa laughed. My cheeks were burning tomatoes when I noticed someone stared hard at me.

I frowned when I saw who it was.

"What is it?" I asked him when he came closer to us, with his angry eyes on Henry.

He glared at me and scoffed. "Did you tell him you were engaged before he took you out on this shopping spending his whole money for you huh?“

I was about answering his question but he interrupted me yet again, jezzzz. ”And you were blushing at his compliment, you sound and look more like a slut yunno.“ And that was it again.

He did it again, those annoying words. ”Listen and listen carefully, I am not a slut so you mind how you regard me. I'm not your toy and just because they ask us to get married doesn't mean I wouldn’t hang out with my friends anymore.“ I hissed.

” I don’t know why you chose me but whatever reasons it might be huh, stay clear from insulting my friends and I. At least he respects his own fiancée more than you who goes around embarrassing me like this was what I wanted also.“ I glared at him before dragging Henry out of there.

We paid for what we bought and left, Henry knew I was angry so he didn’t bother saying anything as to not trigger me.

~WEDDIND DAY~

I glanced through the few people in the courtroom. My parents and his parents had insisted on a court wedding and I had this deadly glare directly at him.

"Rosalinda Andrew, are you willing to take James Harden as your lawfully wedded husband through illness and healthy, through joy and sadness, through love and pains, you’ll never leave him but be with him forever."

That question was something that could kill the spirit in me. I was getting married with someone I hardly know and with someone that doesn't give a damn about me.

"Are you?"The man asked again and I nodded. "Yes I am."

They asked him the same and he spent no time before he answered with a devilish grin. Whatever you might have in mind, can’t you just leave me out of it. I sigh looking at him.

I suddenly smirked knowing what was next. We were asked to exchange rings and after we did that, we were proclaimed husband and wife ahd asked to kiss one another.

He bend down to my lips and use his hand to support me as his lips engulfed with mine. I wouldn’t lie, I love the feeling it gave me and it seemed as though he loved it too because he didn’t want to stop as our tongue moved in rhythm.

I controlled myself and break the kiss, for a moment, I seemed lost. It felt like I was enchanted to him, I just felt this feeling inside of me and I knew it wouldn’t end well.

We both left the wedding hall to greet the guest while Sarah dragged me to one corner. ”What do you want now, Sarah?“ I asked her, it was annoying the way she was behaving and I hated it.

”Do you think it’s over as you had gotten married to him huh. Must you snatch him from me huh?“ I groaned in frustration and ended up laughing.

” I really thought you had grown up from the delusion of me always scratching everything from you, we both know it was quite the opposite and I won’t stop at nothing if it meant breaking you apart Sarah.” I glared at her.

“Is that what you really want to do huh?” I knew I was only threatening but I can’t do it, even if they had broken me apart. I still loved them a lot.

“Yes. And please stay far away from me and James, I can be dangerous and you know that I don’t just bluff.” I scoff staring at her dangerously.

“You don’t know what you are getting yourself into Rosa but I’m promising you you won’t find that peace in the marriage, until you return what was rightfully mine then I wouldn’t stop at nothing to destroy your marriage.”

One thing about Sarah, she knows how to threaten someone like dad but she had never successfully hurried someone except for the few stupid pranks she do pull so I knew she was just bluffing.

She stormed off in anger and I sigh in relief. “Hey wifey.” I heard James voice and jumped in fright.

I glared at him angrily for doing that and I hoped he hasn’t seen why had just transpired between Sarah and I.

“Can you just be serious for once and stop acting annoying.” I said, he smile and took my hand softly. That was weird, what’s this guy planning again.

He led me to the car which will drive us to our honeymoon apartment far from the city. I was relieved I’ll get some peace for the next few days even thought it wasn’t going to be for long.

The car stopped in front of a beautiful mansion, to be honest that was beautiful, it was just like my house in Florida but more bigger than it.

We entered and the mansion and stepped out of the car. Going in further, I could see there was someone in the house as the television was on.

The person looked at us and smiled, “You are back baby.” She pout running to hug James and pushed me aside, I almost landed on my butt, I was more shocked to what happened next.

They both kissed.

Who's this woman and why did she just kiss my husband?
