KAITLYN'S POV
"Robert's bride" Victoria completed the sentence.
At that moment, my breath just stopped.
Robert's bride?
Am I going to marry him? Again? I mean, a real marriage all with vows and....and...everything.
"You said that this is a contract marriage and if I make this a real marriage. Then?"
I remembered his words.
Is he going to do this? Is he going to marry me?
"So, do you still want any explanation for your wedding?" She laughed, making fun of me.
I don't care if she is nagging upon me but really? I am a girl who doesn't know about her wedding.
If I would have known about it. I should have stopped him but now...I can't do anything.
Victoria held my hair and started doing some hairstyles and Scarlett started to do my eye makeup.
I closed my eyes and let them do what they were doing. It's somehow receiving that they are not selling me. I will be here. But with Robert as his real wife?
I was so stupid to think that they were going to sell me and...oh, shit! I just...I just blamed Aunt for everything. I blamed her for what she hadn't done ever.
How can I think something like that about her? How can I be so stupid? How am I gonna face her? Shit!
I will apologize for this. Of course, she will not forgive me. She trusted me but I broke the trust with my foolish blame.
No! I can't let her go away. I can't let my other mom go. I opened my eyes and tears fell on my cheeks.
"Oh, darling, don't cry. You are ruining your beauty." Scarlett said, wiping my tears with tissue paper.
I tried to speak but my mouth was taped.
"Hey, her hairstyle is done!" Victoria exclaimed to her best friend.
I looked in the mirror and saw my hairstyle. Unwillingly I moved my eyes to the other side.
"Oh, that was rude! Don't you like it?" Victoria smiled. "Scarlett, let her mouth free. Let her speak!"
She removed the tape from my mouth and I took a heavy breath. I was going to call someone but I stopped when Scarlett leaned towards me and put her hands on the armchair, looking into my eyes.
"Dare you to speak! You will regret it." She says.
I pressed myself back on the chair.
"Good girl!" Scarlett said, patting my shoulder.
She did my makeover and started to talk to each other. I sat there in silence waiting for someone to come and take me. I know, I can run from here just to save myself but Kelly aunt wants this to happen.
Maybe, by doing this, I can apologize for my stupid thing and blame her.
I was tied with ropes till now. I tried sitting here like this.
Suddenly, a knock comes on the door. Thank God, someone is here and I want that someone to be Kelly aunt! Scarlett and Victoria nervously looked here and there. Victoria came to me and freed me from the ropes and till then Scarlett opened the door.
It was Kelly and Camila.
I stood up from the chair and ran to my aunt. I held her hands and looked into her eyes. Maybe, she could understand my feelings through my face only. She blinked her eyes assuring me. I understood to stay calm.
"Thank you, girls, for coming and doing the makeover," Aunt says.
They greeted her and left the room.
"Come we have to leave," Aunt said to me.
"Where?" I asked.
"We will get that."
"Do you know?" I asked Camila.
"I don't know anything." She replied.
I and Camila were following our aunt. Sean also joined us. I stopped as I sensed something. Camila, Sean and Aunt went away.
I turned around to see what almost broke my heart and left me in shock. An unexpected tear escaped my eye.
Robert was there, kissing a girl, holding her in his arms. I took a step ahead as I wanted to recognize the girl. Victoria! Victoria Beckham, that makeup artist.
They pulled away. Every single step there was somehow breaking me inside.
Robert took aback and signaled her to go back. As I sensed him coming in my direction. I started running out of the house where my aunt was standing.
I reached a car and my aunt told me to sit inside and she sat beside me. The driver started the car.
WOW! Kaitlyn, your to-be-husband was kissing someone so freely.
I wanted to cry so much but I couldn't. Aunt was sitting beside me. So, I controlled my tears.
I still couldn't understand anything. Aunt told me to stay quiet.
"You are looking beautiful!" She said, looking away.
"You can say it looking at me."
"I don't have that right. I lost it."
"No, aunt. I am sorry! I did it....because I was scared. I regret it. I can't even imagine I could do this. I am very sorry!" I almost cried in front of her.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Forgive me! I beg you! I don't want to lose my mother again. Please!"
She looked at me with shock as her eyes got teary.
"Please" I requested again.
"I can forgive you on two conditions."
"I am ready!" I said without thinking.
"Call me mom!"
I closed my eyes as I cried out and hugged her. She hugged me back and I heard her crying.
"Oh, sweetheart! Don't cry! I don't want you to cry on your wedding day." She wiped my tears.
I weakly smiled at her.
"Second condition?" I asked her.
"Marry Robert with a will!"
I looked at her with pleading eyes.
"Please" She requested.
I couldn't see her like this. Even if the decision ruins my life.
If she wants this I will do it. I have to do it.
I was dumbfounded and scared as hell. The time has arrived. We got out of the car. There were fewer people. I mean, they were countable.
Aunt made me hold a bouquet. They were pink infused flowers. It was beautiful and heart calming.
But how can I make my heart calm when I have to marry a guy whom I never imagined as my real husband.
I walked and reached the stage. There was no one else than me and the priest on the stage. I stood there, looking down.
I think I am the first girl to wait for my 'husband'.
After a long wait, everyone's talk stopped. Everything flew silently. I looked around to see some guards surrounding the area. They were holding guns to scare the guests. I gasped at the scenario.
Suddenly, I heard some footsteps. I didn't have the strength to turn around to look at him. I know Robert is here. Else who can do this?
He came in front of me and held me towards him. I looked away and saw a guard pointing his gun towards the priest.
"BEAUTIFUL!" I heard a voice. I looked at him, just to see him smirking. His arm was around my waist. I didn't expect that word from him. I was shocked but I didn't let my feelings come on my face.
He signaled the priest to start. I tried to push him.
"If you will behave nicely. This marriage will not hurt you more." He whispered to me.
His words made me shiver. I stood there in silence.
"You....may exchange the r-rings!" Priest trembled.
I nodded in no to myself.
Robert held my hand and made me wear the ring on my ring finger.
I just couldn't do anything.
He signaled me to do it. I looked into his eyes, there were no emotions. Nothing was there in his eyes. Not even pity.
With no more discussion in my mind. I put the ring on his finger.
After a moment, the priest started to speak the vows.
"I, Robert Williams, take Kaitlyn Forester as my lawfully wedded wife." He said that 'wife' word, coming closer to me but I tilted my head to another side.
He didn't say to love or care for me. He didn't say that he would stay with me till my last breath.
It was my turn to say but I don't want to say anything. My lips were trembling. My body was crumbling in his arms.
God, why are you doing this to me? I am going to take the vow for the man who was kissing a girl just before his wedding. Am I seriously going to do this?
"Speak, Kaitlyn!" He yelled.
I flinched and tried to speak but I didn't have the strength to say a single alphabet.
"Speak!" He said to me and out of the blue, he pointed the gun towards me, on my forehead. "Better say or lose your life."
"Kaitlyn!" Camila, my sister shouted as she got scared to see the gun pointed towards me.
A guard held her and made her quiet.
"D-Don't do anything to....them," I said to Robert.
"I will not. First, say!"
"I...I, Kaitlyn Forester, t-take....R-Robert Williams as my lawfully wedded husband." I had difficulty completing the sentence.
"Good girl!" He kept the gun back in his waistband.
I let out a heavy breath which I was holding.
"With.... the power bestowed upon me, by the.....almighty, I-I now, announce you as husband and wife." The priest says.
"Now you may kiss." I heard the priest saying.
My heart almost stopped. Everything went blurry in front of my eyes.
No! No! I don't want to kiss a guy who was with another girl just before his wedding. Really? How could he do that?
"Congratulations, my love!" I heard Robert saying.
I looked at him, he was smirking as he came close. He held my hair in his fist, pulled them up as my face leveled his. I just closed my eyes tightly.
And then my heart stopped as I felt his lips on mine at the fullest. The kiss was rough and harsh.
I punched his chest but nothing happened. He pulled away, leaving me tears.
He left me and I tumbled. He held my arm harshly and started dragging me.
He pushed me inside a car and my eyes got covered with a blindfold.
Now, what's new for me?
