Huh!?
Flimsy decorations with white lining and beautiful white flower embellishments? she seemed to be in some sort of a fairy tale, yet the appearance of the priest said something else, it appeared to be more of a church than a fairy tale or hell.
But wait! Why would she be in such a holy place?
Wasn't hell meant for sinful people, since when did the hell become so comfy? Her ears perked up as she heard sounds of laughter.
eh?
Since when did hell become such a pleasant place?
Who the hell laughs in hell? Was the demon lord having some sort of special occasion?
Oh my god! Was he getting married? Was she a special guest?!
Alina started screaming internally like a fan girl. She didn't sound like someone who just died, grieving her death or perhaps afraid of hell.
Poor Alina, could she not fathom what was going on?
As she looked around, her little heart shrank as she saw the faces and heard voices. This was her nightmare, those voices never let her sleep in peace.
It was exactly like that day, even the place was identical. What was going on? It lookslike the day of her wedding 10 years ago.
But wasn't she already murdered ruthlessly by these scum. So how can she be here?
She really was in hell.
She had not visited the church for so long. Even if she went near it, her body would shake and she would sweat furiously. Ah, her wedding really got her hard.
As long as she could remember this was the day where her miserable life starts.
Perhaps this was really hell! She never went to weddings. Alina avoided weddings like plague. She feels that if she went near, she would be contaminated. She hated the concept of marriage.
It was a waste of time, emotions, energy and money. A futile investment with no profit.
But, that wasn't the main point here. The point was...
What the heck was she doing here? Her so called family was here too.
Her father and mother was smiling. Before it looked sincere but why does she see so much malice in those smiles now?
Her wonderful father, ah! he really was wonderful.
He didn't even walk her down the aisle on her wedding day. He was averse to perform the basic duty of a father and didn't even put up a facade of good relationship. She was indeed a joke to them.
They only have eyes for their younger daughter while she, was just a back drop for her sister to shine.
Her sister, ah! Her sweet little sister, looking as pure and beautiful as a fresh flower, her mother's precious child.
She always thought that her younger sister Carolina, was happy for her, but now, Alina could clearly see her gritting teeth in anger.
Why wouldn't she, which woman in their right mind would love to watch her man marry another woman? and her sister at that.
Oh hell, she was controlling her emotions really well.
Wow, she hadn't know that she would become sharp at observant people after dying. Maybe it was because she already saw their cruelty that she's able to discern their true nature beneath the benevolent facade they show others.
Even then, what was the point? She was already dead. Or, maybe she was hallucinating before dying since this day was her biggest regret!
She was distracted with her thoughts and did not see Jamie's baffled expression due to the sudden change in her. But before both of them could say anything, the priest started the wedding vows.
"Do you take Xi Ying Yue (Alina) as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"
The man held her hand and replied 'sincerely' with a gentle smile forming on his face.
"I do"
What the hell? She doesn't want to marry this b**tard the second time. What vows? What promise? He abandoned her and married her sister without hesitation after using her.
He caged her for 7 years without a way out. She suffocated with disgust watching her sister and her "sincere" husband rolling on the bed while she had to act like she didn't see any of it.
Those 7 years of her life was a torture, she couldn't achieve her dreams. She had a stable job and life but they snatched everything from her.
Everyone accused her of destroying her little sister's happiness. But no one belittled the man for two timing and cheating on her.
Looking at his charming face, she was reminded of how weak she had been and how easily she gave in trying to make the man happy with all she's got. But he flung her away after squeezing her dry of any use.
Tsk. She had enough!
She doesn't know what's going on but even if it is just a nightmare, she'll do what she has always dreamt of doing.
"And do you take Li ĀnDū (Jamie) as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"
She straightened her back and stood tall, taking her hand away from his without hesitation.
Jamie Li had a very bad premonition when Alina shook of her hand from his grip but before he could confirm it, Alina beat him to it.
Looking at the man's eyes she replied firmly, with an aura of a dignified queen.
"No! I do not. I don't want to marry this man"
