Today is my wedding day supposed to be the happiest day of my life but it turns out to be the worst. I wasn't really looking forward to it.
"Ezrine I know that you're not happy with the marriage since you came to know that the person you're going to marry is uninterested in this alliance. But don't be disheartened my dear , Mrs Smith and I came up with this alliance for a specific reason" mom explained seeing me down.
"Mom I trust you blindly even if you tell me to to jump into a well full of snakes and scorpions I will do so because I know that you can never do anything that will harm me" I blurted out what was in my heart.
"The Almighty will take care of you at your in laws , you have always been a great devotee of Lord Jesus Christ"
"But I never even prayed before you are the one who prays all the time"
"You'll understand what I mean when time goes on dear"
"Mom you always say strange things and when I ask you would always say that , mom I won't understand anything if you don't explain."
"Get ready , the Limousine from the Smith family will be here soon."
I got ready and I was hot. The Limousine came and we went to The Blue Smith Mansion. Their house was so big and beautiful from outside. The big metal gate at the main entrance was using Mr Smith's voice to open , the decorations were on point , everything was blue and white.
I didn't have a father so my mom took the responsibility of walking me down the isle , and surprisingly Meddy offered to help mom to walk me down the isle.
Mom and Meddy both walked me down the isle , I walked with my gaze on the ground I didn't want to look at the man who isn't even interested in this marriage. I could heard people gossiping that he's ugly and that infuriated but I didn't why.
When I reached where he stood I lifted my gaze into his and I literally almost peed on myself. he was tall pitch black with shining black afro hair. Oh God , he had those seductive mesmerising blue ocean eyes which made me faint in front of the people.
By the time when I woke up I realised that we had exchanged the rings already and the function was over , the only thing left was for us to sign the marriage certificate.
I signed the certificate feeling so embarrassed that I couldn't even say sorry.
"Are you doing fine now?" That blue eyed guy asked and once again his blue eyes made me faint again.
This time when I was woke up the whole family was around me looking serious. The blue eyed guy was there but I didn't faint this time I just froze.
"Hey are you about to faint again?" Mrs Smith asked snapping me out of my frozen state.
"I'm so..so...sorry" I stuttered.
"it's fine everyone go to sleep it has been a long day" Mr Smith ordered trying to avoid the ruckus that was about to be created now that everyone was angry at me.
Everyone went out of the room except for the blue eyed guy , that's when I realised that we were in our bedroom.
"Hey I'm Ezrine " I finally spoke breaking the awkward silence.
"Hermon" the blue eyed guy said . His voice was deep and enticing making my stomach twist in a strange way.
"Hey listen I only married you out of the respect that I have to my mother , so don't expect anything from me and I won't expect anything from" Hermon said. His words affected to a point where I couldn't breathe but I knew all that maybe I did expect something big from him.
"Even I agreed because of my mom" I said trying not to sound pathetic.
"That's great then , in this marriage respect is what I promise to give you and nothing else" he highlighted.
"Not even your time" I blurted without hearing myself.
"Not even my time" he said emotionless.
when he went into the bathroom to change I burst into tears but I quickly wiped off my tears and I changed my wedding gown and I wore pyjamas and made my sleeping arrangements on the floor even thou I stopped crying , my tears couldn't stop flowing down my cheeks
