Chapter 30
Catherine
I'm surprised to see the beach with wedding decorations.
As far as I remember with the last game. No one gets tempted by each other as boys and girls are separated.
There should be no wedding for the eliminated today! Because no one gets tempted by another partner.
We played in a group. Well, I'm just the model and didn't play. But still, I pass the game.
"Hey, What is happening in here?" I ask one of my co-participants.
"Oh, There you are! Congratulations, Catherine." She said smiling.
I'm surprised by what she's saying!
Until I notice the banner with my picture on it with Vincent.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWLYWED!!!
It's written below our picture.
Just what the fvck is happening in here? Am I eliminated? I didn't violate the game!
"Maybe there's a misunderstanding about this," I said and walked away.
My feet walked towards the Manager's office but I was blocked by the man in black.
I stop walking because there are three of them. Even if I run, I'm sure that they will catch me.
"What's the matter?" I ask.
"It's time for you to get dressed and prepare for your wedding." The first man in black answered.
I just shake my head. Why they are doing this to me?!
"I don't understand, I didn't fail the last game. Why I'm eliminated?!" I ask in disbelief.
"I don't know why. We are just following orders from the Boss. You can ask them later. But for now, you need to come with us and attend your wedding." He explained but I still didn't understand!
What can I do? I just go with them and they bring me to a tent where lots of people are waiting for me.
I guess that they are the make-up artist, hair stylist, and fashion something that caters to my wedding dress or I don't know!
I just can't believe that they will use their power and make me hopeless!
I do want to get married but not like this! If Vincent doesn't love me, then I will not force him because I don't want a one-sided relationship.
But what about now? Why they are forcing me?
How can I escape on this Island? How?!
I think I'm going crazy from talking to myself.
"There you are! Let's begin your makeover!" The makeup artist said excitedly.
They are happy but I feel like it's my funeral!
I want to talk to Vincent's grandfather and him but I can't! because of the black men that scattered outside of my tent.
But come to think of it. I can finally go home because I'm eliminated! This is the only happy thing but the sad thing is I will be marrying Vincent legally. And I know that he didn't like the idea of getting married because of his great love!
But there's nothing to worry I guess. I will file a divorce later and Vincent would love it too. Maybe it's his grandpa's doing. Maybe he is hopeless or something? I think I'm going crazy again! Talking to myself like a crazy woman.
And who will not become insane in this situation? My only consolation is I can finally go home!
For now, I need to accept and finish this wedding. Then I will go home and start a new life without Vincent!
But why is It killing me?! It hurts! They force me to marry him just for an heir.
But what about my feelings? They didn't put me into consideration and just decided on this bullshit wedding!
I know that money is powerful but I didn't expect how cruel it is until now that it is happening to me!
"You're so beautiful!" The gay make-up artist shouted woke up my floating mind.
I look at the mirror and agree. The makeover did magic with my appearance and made me beautiful.
But still, I don't want to get married!
The girls in black walk inside my tent and dress me like a doll. I can't fight because it's useless and I'm useless too!
"You're done! It's time to go out. Your groom is waiting for you." One of the girls said.
I go out with them and look around. Still, I didn't find Vincent's grandpa!
Just where the hell he is?
I thought that he would attend his grandson's wedding.
My wedding gown looks expensive and glamorous. But sad to say that this wedding is like a funeral.
I saw Vincent from afar waiting for me to walk down the aisle.
I finally arrive at the lane and am waiting for the music to play. The host arrived and announced our wedding. Everybody is clapping their hands and cheering for Vincent and me.
They are so happy but my face is so sad!
"Let the wedding begin!!!" The host shouted and I started walking towards Vincent when the music played.
Vincent's expression is cold and blank. I know that he was shocked too and so angry at this moment.
I don't want this wedding too!
He only wanted my body and I felt humiliated. I'm looking forward to my freedom when I will go home to the Philippines.
I want to talk to him about this matter after the wedding ceremony.
I finally arrive in front of him and he holds my hand smiling sweetly.
I must say that he is good at acting but I know that he's not happy!
"Are you happy now?" He asks with a sarcastic tone.
I smile pretending to be happy too.
"I'm not, And I want Divorce!"
"Good! I thought that you want lots of money." He whispers again.
My blood boils from what I heard!
What did he think of me? A gold digger like his great love? I will show it to him that I'm not like that.
That I don't want a single penny from him!
I want freedom and I want to go home!
I wasn't able to answer because the priest started our funeral ceremony!
I was not interested in what happened and I didn't care until the wedding ceremony ended.
"You may kiss the bride," the priest said happily.
How can I kiss this bastard?!
I thought that he was kind but I was wrong!
It's a mistake that I trusted him. Once a bastard is always a bastard!
And they will not change no matter what.
Vincent grabs my face and kisses me. But his lips didn't stay that long. It's only for a second.
It's as if I have a contagious disease! I know that it's a good thing because he is not interested in this wedding but why do I feel hurt?
Why?!
I didn't expect that my dream wedding would turn into a nightmare!
For just a glimpse of an eye...
I met Vincent, the devil bastard. We became close and I thought that he liked me too but I was wrong!
He only likes my body and all he wants is sex from me.
Plus the heir that his grandpa wants the most.
They've taken away my freedom to choose a man that will marry and love me truly.
Now...
It's all bullshit! And my heart is the worst one. She still likes Vincent and is so happy to marry him!
But I don't want this life!
I want to go home and forget this nightmare.
Lucky for George he found his forever.
But me?! It's all hopeless!
After the wedding, we proceed to the reception. I can't fake my smile so I stay quiet and let Vincent do the socializing. I'm bored but I don't want to go out. I'm comfortable in this corner without anyone noticing me.
I'm eating alone and I don't want to mingle. Waiting for this event to end so that I can rest and relax.
And finally! Our wedding/funeral is all done and we are alone in this quiet newlywed room. The designs are so wonderful with roses scattered all over our bed.
It's small but beautiful. The game spent this much for the participant's wedding! Yeah, You know how rich they are.
I get a wine from the small table and drink it.
"So, It's a deal that we will divorce?" I ask seriously.
Vincent raises his brows. As if he doesn't believe what I'm saying.
"Are you sure? You will lose lots of money if you divorce me. You are rich now Catherine." He asks sarcastically. "Or, You are just pretending to be the victim? That in fact, You ask this marriage to my grandpa right?" There's anger in his voice!
When did I ask his grandpa to marry him? I clearly said yesterday that I don't want to get married!
"Are you insane?" I ask angrily. "I'm not a gold digger like your first love, great love, or whoever she is!"
"What did you say?! She's not like that and you nothing compares to her!" He holds my shoulder and I struggle to let go of him.
"Let me go! Yes, I'm nothing but I'm not a Gold digger! I'm not a gold digger! Did you hear me? You can have your money for all I care!" I'm in rage and I step his foot with my high heels and I step his.
"Ouch! How dare you hurt me!" Vincent shouted in pain.
"And how dare you hurt me, Vincent," I said with pain in my heart. "I'll expect my plane ticket tomorrow morning. You can have all your money with your great love. I just want to live peacefully!" I said and walked out the door.
I can't stand him anymore! He hurts me so much that I don't want to see him. I want to go home and forget all of this!
"Yeah, sure! It will be delivered to your room at dawn!" He smirks and bangs the door right in my face!
What a wonderful honeymoon!
