The Bride Chapter 45: Saving an Old Friend
As we made our way back home, Gabby's excitement was noticeable. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, and I couldn't help but smile at her infectious enthusiasm.She turned to me, her voice filled with hope and determination, "Kyra, now that your mom has finally accepted me, I think it's time we start planning our wedding. I hope everything goes smoothly from now on."I felt a surge of warmth and love for Gabby as I listened to her words.It had been a long journey for both of us, filled with ups and downs, but knowing that we had overcome another obstacle together filled me with a sense of joy and relief.As we stepped inside our hotel room, Gabby immediately pulled out her laptop and began scrolling through wedding planning websites. The church had taken care of most of our demands and the progress was going smoothly, and Gabby was trying to see if there was something that needed to be added to the color schemes, menu options, and even the guest lists.I couldn't help but laugh at h
The Bride Chapter 46: Secret Meeting
Chapter 46: Secret MeetingI made my way through the winding paths of the local park, a sense of anticipation building in the pit of my stomach.I was about to meet Cathy in secret and as I approached our designated meeting spot, a secluded bench tucked away beneath the shade of a towering oak tree, I couldn’t help but wonder if Cathy was even gonna show up.Sending her the message that I wanted to meet up with her alone had been a tedious task. Angie had to bribe the maid and nanny who work at the Davis manor to get the word across.So when I rounded the corner, heading to our specified location, surprise made me halt in my steps as I saw Cathy, sitting with her head bowed, her shoulders slumped in defeat.I could sense the weight of her troubles hanging heavily upon her, casting a shadow over her usually bright spirit.Our last meeting hadn't been pleasant at all, but with how my last meeting with Jordan had gone, I didn’t doubt one bit that she already knew what had gone down betwe
The Bride Chapter 47: Wedding Plans
Chapter 47: Wedding PlansLater the next afternoon, as the sun cast long shadows across my living room, Angie and Rika sat with us around the table, deep in conversation.We were gathered together, determined to find a way to help Cathy, who was trapped in a nightmare of abuse and fear.Originally, the discussion had been about our wedding and any last minute plans we needed to make, but the conversation had taken a drastic turn when Angie had mentioned running across Cathy that morning at the market, looking significantly anxious."I just don't know what to do," Angie sighed, her brow furrowed in frustration. "We can't go to the police. Jordan's family practically has them in their pockets."Rika nodded in agreement, her expression grim. "And even if we did, who's to say they'd believe us? Cathy's word against theirs... it's not enough."Gabby and I listened in silence, the weight of their words settling heavily upon my shoulders.“But…we can’t just keep on being sitting ducks, guys
The Bride Chapter 48: Making Up
Chapter 48: Making UpI settled into the warm water of the tub, the quiet of the bathroom enveloping me in a warm embrace, but my mind was anything but calm.Thoughts of Cathy, my dear friend, consumed me.She was going through a tough time, and I couldn't shake the feeling of helplessness that gripped me and to think that Gabby refused to listen to reason…it made me frustrated beyond words.Lost in my thoughts, I didn't hear the door creak open.It wasn't until Gabby's familiar voice broke through my reverie that I realized I wasn't alone."Mind if I join you, Kiki?" she asked, her tone gentle.Turning to see Gabby standing there, I couldn't help but frown. Usually, I would always feel relieved after seeing Gabby, but today, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed.“Do you really want to?” I asked her, trying to keep the irritation out of my voice. “After everything that just happened?”"Of course, I want to Kiki, you’re the love of my life," she replied, and I felt a sense of relief
The Bride Chapter 49: Reconciliation
Chapter 49: ReconciliationThe warm air from the blow dryer felt like a blessing against my skin as I ran my hand through Gabby’s short hair.I wave of nostalgia hit me as I remembered the good old times when I used to run my hands through Gabby’s long hair with her multicolored strands and tell her how she was my unicorn since she loved rainbows so much.“I miss your long hair.” I told her now, putting the dryer aside as I ran both hands through her hair to straighten them out. “But I love your short hair as well. It suits you better. Besides, I’d always wanted to see you in short hair.”Gabby nodded, a low hum sounding from her throat as she enjoyed the massage I was giving her. “I love your hair more.” She whispered at last, her voice low. “I always wanted to go blonde, but it never was my color. I looked too pale in blonde.”“You dyed your hair blonde?” I blinked in surprise.She nodded. “Once, in high school.” She shrugged. “But it was immediately apparent that blonde just wasn’t

Angie asked, her brow furrowed with worry. "There are still several people who don't like you, Kyra."Gabby smiled confidently, her eyes sparkling with determination."Those who want to come to the wedding will come, regardless of what others think," she replied, her voice filled with confidence."And besides, our wedding will be broadcast live on TV, thanks to our fame in the ballet world.

The Bride Chapter 57: Epilogue
Chapter 57: Epilogue5 years later… I stirred from my slumber as soft lips pressed against mine, gently rousing me from sleep. Of course, it was Gabby, my loving wife, showering me with morning kisses.Blinking sleepily, I felt a flutter of excitement in my chest, knowing that today held a special significance.Gabby's voice, warm and playful, filled the room as she whispered, "Do you remember what today is, love?"I feigned ignorance, a mischievous smile tugging at the corners of my lips."Hmm, let me think," I replied, pretending to rack my brain for the answer.“Really now?” She smirked, her eyes glinting with mischief. “Then let me help you remember.”Her hands that had been resting on my chest, slowly made their way down my body, before she lifted up the white silk night dress that I was wearing and her hands made their way to my womanhood, without the barrier of an underwear.“Look who’s been playing naughty.” She whispered against my ear before she bit down lightly on my lobe,
The Bride Chapter 56: Honeymoon Bliss
Chapter 56: Honeymoon BlissThe next day, we arrived at the Lakeside Bliss Resort for our official honeymoon, and the first thing that caught my eye was the mesmerizing view of the shimmering water stretching out before us.The resort was nestled amidst lush greenery, with tall trees swaying gently in the breeze, creating a tranquil atmosphere that instantly made me feel at peace.Walking hand in hand with my new wife, Gabby, we followed the winding path that led us through the resort grounds.The air was filled with the sweet scent of roses, their delicate petals in full bloom, adding a touch of romance to the already fascinating surroundings.As we approached the main building, I couldn't help but marvel at its grandeur.The architecture was elegant yet understated, blending seamlessly with the natural beauty of the landscape.

The Bride Chapter 55: Justice Served
Chapter 55: Justice ServedI sat on the porch swing with Gabby, the weight of the past few weeks seemed to lift off our shoulders as we watched the videos of our wedding going viral on the internet.The news of Jordan's arrest had spread like wildfire through our small town, and while it brought relief, it also brought a new wave of gossip and judgment. People whispered behind our backs, casting a shadow over our family name."Can you believe it, Kyra?" Gabby sighed, her voice heavy with exhaustion. "I never thought we'd see the day when helping another woman walking out of an abusive relationship would be termed ‘none of our business and ‘we should’ve stayed out of their personal life’."I shook my head, the disbelief still lingering."I know, it's like something out of a movie.” I sighed, closing my phone. “But it's over now, and we can move on. Jordan got the punishment he deserved and Cathy is now free of his abuse. Justice was served."Gabby nodded, her eyes scanning the street f
The Bride Chapter 54: Revelations of the Past Part 2
Chapter 54: Revelations of the Past Part 2The gasps from the gathered crowd echoed in my ears, each one a painful reminder of the betrayal that had unfolded before us.I watched in disbelief as Cathy's father stood there, his face a mask of shock and horror.The disclosure that he had accepted money in exchange for his daughter's hand in marriage hung heavy in the air, casting a shadow over the sanctity of our union.Cathy's voice trembled as she turned to her father, her eyes brimming with tears."Is it true?" she whispered, her voice barely above a whisper. "Did you sell me off like that?"The silence that followed was deafening, broken only by the ragged sound of Cathy's breaths.My heart ached for her, for the pain and betrayal she must be feeling in this moment of reckoning. But Jordan's cruel words cut through the silence like a knife, his accusations casting doubt upon everything we thought we knew.“Of course he did! He took the money like a beggar even though you refused to

Chapter 53: Revelations of the Past Part 1As the tension in the room thickened, I could feel my heart pounding against my ribcage. My eyes darted between Cathy, Jordan, and the rest of the stunned guests.Cathy's attempt to restrain Jordan only seemed to fuel his rage further.I could see the fear in her eyes as she reached out to him, her hand trembling. But when he felt her touch, he jerked his hand away as if he was disgusted by her, before he gripped her arm tightly when she attempted to reach for him yet again."Stop it, Jordan!" I screamed, my voice echoing through the room.But he seemed oblivious to my pleas, his grip tightening on Cathy's arm as he shoved her away.My stomach churned as I watched her fall to the floor, cradling her swollen belly. Panic washed over me at the sight of her clutching her pregnant stomach.My mind raced as I struggled to comprehend the horror unfolding before me, even as several gasps sounded from all over the room.How could Jordan be so cruel,
