As fast as she was escorted in to the house she was also escorted out of the house with those two hefty bodyguards flanking her two sides to make sure she does not escape
Even if she was given the chance to escape she knew well enough that she will not escape, not when her mothers life was now in the hands of her father
She knew just how evil, wicked and heartless her father is. If a man can do what he was doing to his own daughter then he can do almost anything and everything is this world
The rolls of cars came to a stop in front of a chapel and the car door was thrown open for her to come down by one of the bodyguards
Charlotte gathered her wedding gown in her hands and came down from the car, a bouquet was thrust into her arms and she fumbled for them before getting hold of the bouquet
The door of another car was thrown open by a bodyguard and her father and step mother came down and walked up to her
"It's your wedding day honey you need to smile, it will make you look more beautiful" her step mother told her before turning to look at her father "right darling?"
"Of course, you need to smile now before others will say that you are being forced to get married. Dad is only doing this for your own good. Don't worry you will them me in the future when you start enjoy being a wife "
Her father and step mother walked ahead of her to the chapel while Charlotte followed behind them watching them with a cold look in her eyes
It seems like the people inside have been notified that the bride have arrived because the song playing quickly changed
Her father left her step mother and came to her "father will escort you to your beloved husband now"
He gave her his elbow and she took it without a word, she forced a smile on her face as the door of the chapel was thrown open
Her gaze went to the altar quickly and what she saw there made her to nearly stumble on her feet
Two men were standing there, one was on a wheelchair and has a mask on his face while the other was standing beside him looking all handsome in his best man suit
No one had to tell her twice before she was able to really understand what was going on, the one on the wheelchair is the man she is getting married to while the one standing beside him is the best man
Charlotte looked round the chapel and saw they there was only five people that attend the ceremony and she was quick to recognize one of the women
She is from the Moore's family
Realization finally dawned on her as she realized that she have been asked to represent her own sister for her wedding
Seven months ago when she met Bethany and Amarie the both of them bragged about how she was going to get married and become the young madam of the Moore family
Charlotte was jealous and wished that she would also find such a good marriage partner some day
Charlotte smiled bitterly when she understood that she was representing her sister.
Dalton is said to be charismatic and handsome so of course someone who is superficial like Bethany will want him but now that he is disabled and scarred for life?
Ha of course she will not want him again but since her family wants money from them and support they have to sacrifice her
Charlotte felt a twinge of pity for them man on the wheelchair and realized that they were almost alike. When they were everything and very important, people ran after them to curry favour but now that they were facing some problems everyone was quick to abandon them
She Charlotte , was abandoned by her family and her friends quickly separated themselves from her when they saw they she was no longer the young Miss of the Enfield's family but a fallen heiress and he: Dalton was abandoned by his fiancee because he is now crippled and scarred
She told herself in her heart that she will take care of him and become his best friend and together they will live well and shame that scorned them, with this in her heart she smiled widely and started walking fast anticipating what was to come in the future
She grabbed his hand when her father placed her hand in his
"Take care of my daughter young Mr Enfield" Hughes bowed to Dalton before walking off to stand beside her step mom
Charlotte watched her father go and rolled her eyes, when she felt her husband to be gaze on her she turn and gave him an innocent smile but he scoffed at her
She could feel the best man's gaze on her but she ignored him and turn to look at the priest that was going to join them together
The best man pushed her husband's wheelchair while she walked with him holding her husband to be hands
At least he wasn't an old man, even if he was crippled and in a wheelchair he was young, she was going to check his medical records to know if he will be crippled for life or if he can walk again someday
"I do" Charlotte said without second thoughts when she was asked if she will stay with her husband for better for worst, for rich and for poor
She could feel the gaze of everyone but she ignored them and instead focused all her attention on her husband
She saw his eyes that was not covered by the mask widen for a spilt second before going back to normal when it got to his turn he hesitated for a moment and Charlotte was surprised when she held her breath and prayed for him to say yes
"Yes" his voice was soft and barely audible but she and the priest heard it
"With the power vested on me I join you too together in holy matrimony as husband and wife, you may kiss your bride"
Charlotte used her hand which was not holding the bouquet to push her veil up a little bit as she bent down and pressed her lips onto his cold tin lips
She felt him stiffen but she ignored him and continue to press her lips against his, ater some time she pulled back and with her face still close to his she opened her mouth and murmured
"Husband"
