"Missy," Patrick patted Jacques's hand, seeing her ashen face."Yes," Jacques snapped out of her depressing thoughts and she could hear the bridal march. Her eyes were clouded and she closed her eyes and took in a deep breath remembering Scarlett's words.The mascara will smudge!She pulled back her tears with difficulty.She saw everyone standing up, waiting for her to walk through the aisle. Daisy was trying to stand beside Tara who was sitting by the aisle.Is she trying to protect me in case Tara tries to trip me or something? Daisy has done a lot for me already.Scarlett was turning and looking at her with a smile. As they met eyes, Scarlett nodded, placing her hand on her chest as if telling her that everything was fine.Jacques realized one thing.The love everyone has for me... The efforts everyone is putting into saving my life...Why am I thinking about my wishes here?Her eyes ended up at the man standing at the end of the aisle, waiting for her to come to him. She has spen
Throughout the ceremony, Jacques had to remind herself that this is not a real wedding. It was too real to be a fake wedding and it did make her feel a little nervous because she could see Jeremy was treating it as a real wedding.More than that, she felt like all those eyes watching her were burning her back. She never was in a spot like this before and it made her more nervous. Thankfully she remembered to say "I do" at the right moment.But maybe he realized her nervousness, Jeremy often looked at her with a gentle smile and it made her nervousness fly away."I pronounce you man and wife!"The Priest announced and everyone clapped. Jacques's heart started to race.The kissing would be next right? Which side should I tilt my head? It would be awkward if our noses clash. Maybe we should have practiced kissing as he suggested?Ahhhhh! What should I do?"You may now kiss the bride," the priest said the dreaded words. Jacques gulped and turned to the side and he had a gentle smile on hi
"You're not a Princess, honey buns," Jeremy trailed his hand on her cheek. He saw his wedding band reflecting the sun and his lips curved to a smile.He didn't know how much she remembered of the ring exchange. Her fingers were cold and she almost dropped the ring as she was very nervous.But yeah... I am married to her!On her hand placed on her lap was an identical ring to his. The rings turned out great and they fit them both perfectly.We are married!"You're a Queen by right," he added and placed a kiss on her cheek.She really is! At least, according to Alexander Volkonsky and his supporters."Queen?" Jacques was confused.By right, he says?"Yeah, my queen," he smiled.He watched the frown line between her eyebrows melt as her lips curved up. "You're smooth, Jeremy," she chuckled.God, she's beautiful!Jacques didn't want to talk more to that man with a buttery tongue and decided to look around. People in their homes on their way were waving at them and she waved back with a sm
Jacques looked through her misty eyes. Everything looked blurry and she saw Jeremy and Dr. Kruger by her side with their eyes red with tears.Ah, isn't this wonderful?When Jacques went to the doctor's office, the doctor was already wearing a dress and seemed to be contemplating whether she should attend the wedding or not.The moment Jacques entered, she hugged her and started to tear up. "I'm so glad you're here, dear," she said and took a good look at her. "You're so pretty!"Jacques could see how much she loved Jeremy. She is the one who raised him after all. She would want to see him getting married too.It was not hard to convince her to attend the reception. She was feeling a little hesitant to ride on the carriage with them, but Jacques convinced her to get on.Jeremy looked happy and that's all she needed, but she didn't understand why he entered the room holding his weapon in his hand. She didn't think he'd be carrying a weapon while he was wearing a tuxedo but it seems like
Jeremy froze for a moment. One moment he was seriously contemplating whether he should confess to her right then or not and the next moment, he was being kissed by her – the one he loves.This is the first time she kissed me when she was sober... She kisses me when she is sober!His hand holding her waist gently traveled to the back of her head and he held her other hand closer to his heart. Her lips were soft and they had a sweet taste to them.He kissed her back.Jacques tried to pull back realizing what she had done. Only when he kissed her back did she realize that she had kissed him to stop him from speaking.What have I done?Sensing her retreat, Jeremy let go of her lips. He opened his eyes and looked at her. With a blush, she looked like a freshly bloomed rose in his arms."The kiss... I'll expl-"Jacques tried to talk to him about it, but before she could finish speaking, her lips were covered by his lips once again.This time around, the kiss wasn't just the pressing of thei
"Yes," Scarlett nodded at Dr. Kruger as she carefully tried to carry the baby. But the baby started to cry and Daisy gestured that she'd keep the baby."Jacques decided to be happy for some reason, and now she probably forgot or doesn't care that this is a fake wedding. But this is good for Jeremy, right?" Scarlett spoke in a hushed tone and both the ladies nodded."As long as that boy is happy...""Yeah..."Both the ladies were happy and Scarlett watched the dancing couple with a smile on her face.Jeremy, you can steal her heart if you want. It is up to you...-----Jacques could still feel his hard member against her and the next song was about to end. She really didn't want to keep on dancing until he calmed down. Her feet hurt.Does he have an insatiable beast down there?She shivered."Are you cold," he rested his forehead on the book of her neck and took in a whiff. And then it became harder.This demon has no self-control! He wants to get humiliated in public? Sigh!"I got thi
"Isn't this enough?" Jacques mumbled to Jeremy after posing for the umptieth picture. There were photos and videos taken of them and he was pretty interested in taking pictures unlike her.Most of the guests have left,Scarlett came often to touch up her makeup and Jacques felt like she was a model doing a photo shoot."Are you tired already?" he looked a little disappointed. He could see she was in a good mood and she looked extremely beautiful. And so he used the chance to have as many pictures with her as he wanted, but he didn't want to push her hard."Yes, my feet kill me. Didn't we take enough pictures?" Jacques really couldn't even stand anymore. Her feet started to blister. "You should take some with your sister. She's glaring at me for a long time.""Yeah, then sit here for a moment then... I'll be back," he pulled a chair for her to sit and ran to his sister. She saw Emma's face brightening up, immediately, seeing him.What an actress! Or does she really love her brother tha
Is she worried for him?Jeremy was shocked by Jacques's tone of voice. He, who was feeling sorry for Emma after she complained that he didn't care for her anymore, got angry at her.Why is she talking about Gerard to Jacques now?But then, is it not necessary for me to gauge her feelings towards that guy? I need to face the truth however harsh it might be. That way, I can formulate a plan to make her fall for me.War, isn't it? I am girdled up for this war for her heart!Emma saw Jeremy with clenched fists and she was happy that her plan was working.Jacques saw the same glint in Emma's eyes and smiled in her heart. She knows Emma is bringing up Gerard in front of Jeremy to make them fight. But she doesn't know what is between Jeremy and her.Jeremy is saying that she can go back to Gerard after the threat to her life is neutralized. He might love her but he is willing to let her go once everything is over. So why would Jeremy worry?And if Gerard is acting up, why does it concern her
