"It's time!" Cynthia screamed and entered the room

I sighed and looked at Judith who was smiling at me. She became my parents involuntarily when our parents died some years back and I wondered what my mom would say if she was here today

"Judith" I called and my sister looked at me "I missed our parents" her mood changed instantly "I'm thinking about how everything might have been different if our parents are still alive" I said and tried not to cry

"I missed them too. Everyday" Judith confession came as a shock to me. Judith have never talked about how she felt about our parents before, at least, not in my presence

"I'm not supporting this" Cynthia who was watching both of us said "Today is an happy day and I'm sure that your parents are happy for you. Get up it's time to go in"

Judith came back to herself after Cynthia's words and got up "Let's go"

I handed Maxwell to Judith and got up

"There is the bride!" One of the paparazzi screamed when he saw me coming with my maid of honor, who was Cynthia, flower girl and my bridesmaids.

The paparazzi faced us and started taking pictures of us as we were walking to the hall and for some unknown reasons, I felt as if I was flying in the sky. Some months back, I didn't know that I was going to get married into one of the richest family on Earth but without knowing when or how it happened, this billionaire man came from nowhere,  fell for me and he couldn't get enough.

I watched as my bridesmaids went inside one after the other and when it was Cynthia's turn, she turned back and looked at me "Congratulations Lexi"

"Thank you sweetheart" I said and she went in

My flower girl smiled at me when it was her turn and went inside, she also came from one of richest families on Earth.

With my white beautiful flowers in my hand I slowly walked into the hall. People started clapping when they saw me coming in and I waved at them.

When I looked forward, I saw Jason smiling at me and I felt like crying because I knew how much he loved me. I smiled back at him without holding back and the whole congregetion dissolved into the background. 

Jason robbed his hands together and licked his lips, my soon-to-be husband. Without knowing how many minutes had passed by, I was finally standing in the front, beside Jason who was looking at me as he was just seeing me for the first time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We were passed our vows card by the best man and the maid of honor respectively and I looked at Jason as he started reading his

"The first time I met you, I never knew that I was going to fall in love with you. You were just this girl with little to no experience but that night changed my life" he looked up from his card and I shyly smiled at him because I remembered and will always remember the night "and I'm always grateful that I didn't miss my missing half that I've been searching for for years when I came across it. You're my shinning bomb and you blew my heart away.

I love the fact that we fought for our love and I promise to keep loving you in good times and in the bad times. I promise to respect you as my darling wife. I promise to support you in all your endeavors. I promise to be faithful to you. I promise to protect you with my life without thinking twice. 

You and Maxwell are my world and I promise to be the best husband and father respectively to both of you. All that is mine is now yours.

And today, I, Jason Stokes ask you, Lexi Tyler to be my wife, my lover, my best friend, my adviser, the mother of my unborn children, my..."

"Secretary" someone said from the crowd and everybody laughed

"My everything" Jason added

I opened our vows card and started reading mine

"I fell in love with you the first time that I met you even though I didn't know who you were and I had no clue that we would meet again.

But you showed up again in my life few days later: at first as Mr CEO and later as Mr Love. I love everything about you but I love your cockiness more"

Everybody laughed

"I promise to never disappoint you. I promise to love you forever. I promise to trust you. I promise to cherish you. I promise to respect you as my husband and as the father of Maxwell and our unborn children. I promise to stand by you no matter the situation. I promise to be faithful to you.

So today, I, Lexi Tyler give you, Jason Stokes my heart, my hand and my love from this moment till death do us part"

The priest who have been smiling since morning joined our hands together and asked Jason "Do you take Lexi Tyler as your lawful wife, to have to hold, from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"

I and Jason's eyes met and he sighed heavily "Yes I do" he answered and everybody clapped

The priest faced me and  asked me the same question "Do you take Jason Stokes as your lawful husband, to have to hold, from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"

I looked at Jason, he was a little bit scared

"Yes, I do" I replied

Jason sighed heavily and the whole congregetion clapped and 'woah' at us

Jason's friend, John who was his best man passed the ring to the priest who blessed it before passing it to Jason. I gave Jason my left hand and he placed the beautiful diamond ring which he bought for $1,000,000 on it

Cynthia passed the second ring to the priest, who gave it to me after blessing it. Jason gave me his left hand and I placed the ring on it

"You may kiss the bride" the priest said and the next second, Jason crashed his mouth on mine as if it was his first time

The wedding ended towards the evening and I and Jason flew out of the country with his personal jet for our honeymoon

There was something like an invisible wall between us and we treated ourselves like strangers.Jason opened the car door for me as usual but there was nothing like the usual smooching and teasing.I sat down like a robot and picked up my phone which I had forgotten inside the car yesternoonThere were several calls and messages on it, most of it from Cynthia. And when I went through Cynthia messages, all of them meant the same thing 'I didn't do it".I put down my phone as Jason started the car and headed to the office.Later in the day, someone walked into my office and I looked up from the file that I was going through, it was Cynthia. Her eyes were red and she didn't use her usual makeover"Lexi" she called slowly as she stood in front of my table"You can see that I'm busy"

I thought it was Jason."Hello" Judith said alarmedly"Hey Judith" I said sleepily"Have you seen this morning news?"I opened my eyes and slowly sat up on the bed "No" I yawned "I'm just waking up. What is it about?""I will send you a link now. Go and check it out""Okay"She sent me a link about two seconds later and I wondered what was going on. I clicked on the link and saw Jason, my own Jason kissing a woman ferociously on my screen."Aaah" I gasped and covered my mouth with my hand.
