"what! wha.. what wedding?" Dorcas voice vibrated out,
"Come find out for yourself tomorrow, it's going to be big." Seraphina said and immediately hung up before Dorcas could utter any word.
-----
Seraphina's wedding dress looked stunning, it was adorned with beautiful lace and beading, it looked like it came out of a fairytale and to seraphina's surprise, it fitted her perfectly, showed off her curves.
She had thought it wouldn't fit her as it was brought to her on D-Day.
Seraphina shook her head slightly as if chasing the thoughts out.
'enough of the admiration' she thought to herself, reminding herself of the task at hand.
Yes, this was a task and not a wedding to her.
It was the introduction theme to mark the start of her revenge plan.
Seraphina tightened her grip around the Peonies flowers she was holding at the thought of it.
Seraphina looked up as she heard footsteps, it was Ethan's.
"Hey beautiful" Ethan called as he strolled into the bridal suite.
"Wow, I guess you really are alone in this world, huh" Ethan stated, he took a seat beside Seraphina, a little too close, Seraphina didn't move an inch even though she felt uncomfortable with it.
"You know in movies, the bridal suite is always filled with friends of the brides and well wishers, taking pictures and all of that, but I don't see a single soul here, except just us of course, hehe" Ethan said, so closely to Seraphina that she could literally feel his stinky breath on her face.
She tightly gripped some part of her wedding gown as if suppressing her anger with it.
Slowly, she turned to face Ethan,
"Move" She let out, curtly.
"Chill wifey. You should learn to love me, you know. It's our wedding today and soon you will be carrying my baby in your womb" Ethan said, with a small laugh at the end.
Seraphina stared at him sternly.
"Did you even brush your teeth this morning?" She asked.
"Huh" Ethan looked slightly confused,
He took a deep breath into his hand and cringed at the unpleasant smell.
"Oh shit, I forgot"
"Well, I guess you are going to have to taste the raw me, today" Ethan stated before erupting into a loud laughter.
"I guess being a nuisance is the only thing you are good" Seraphina uttered flatly
"Too bad you are going to be stalked with me for a very long time, Seraphina Steele," Ethan said. He unexpectedly grabbed Seraphina's face aggressively, giving her a quick peck on the lips.
He laughed as he got up and walked away while Seraphina was left to deal with continuously wiping her mouth with her hands to get the kiss off her lips.
She let out a loud frustrated yell,as she could still feel the lingering sensation on her lips no matter how she tried to wipe it off.
"Are you okay?" Gabriela asked as she rushed in.
"Did he do anything to you?" She added before Seraphina could utter any word.
"I'm..I'm fine" Seraphina managed to say, her lips felt heavy on her face.
Ethan's lips on hers was a nightmare, a bad dream that might probably stick with her for a very long time.
Gabriela went back to shut the door.
She took a seat beside Seraphina.
"I still don't get why you are taking such a risk.." Gabriela was saying
"You knew it was a risk but you requested to join in on it?" Seraphina interjected.
" I just wanted to help" Gabriela stated
"And I still don't know the reason why" Seraphina quickly said
"Did Ethan hurt you too?" She added.
Gabriela was quiet.
Seraphina's phone buzzed with a text before she could go on to question Gabriela.
It was a text from Sebastian.
"Dorcas Coleman has arrived!"
Seraphina showed the text to Gabriela.
Gabriela gave a nod and exited the room.
And almost immediately, Dorcas walked in, her eyes everywhere.
She let out an audible scoff as her eyes landed on Seraphina, who held a big smile on her face.
Dorcas's eyes wandered around Seraphina.
"So you are the bride?" Dorcas asked , in what seemed like disbelief.
Seraphina gave a nod with the biggest smile on her face.
Her cheeks were starting to get hurt with how much she was pretending to smile so big.
Dorcas let out a weak chuckle.
"So he dumped me for you"
"Partly. I'm not the only reason," Seraphina said as stood up on her feet.
She moved closer to Dorcas.
"The first reason. He dumped you because of your sister"
"What are you talking about?" Dorcas asked, confused.
"I guess you were not aware that your sister is involved with Ethan's father, Edward Sullivan's one and only mistress"Seraphina stated
Dorcas' mouth slightly dropped open and her eyes widened with the most shocked expression on her face.
Dorcas had asked her sister about where she knew Ethan from but Serena had been reluctant to give her an answer to her question.
"And then the second reason. He has always been obsessed with me, he just used you to pass time" Seraphina added
"Stop lying" Dorcas yelled out,
Seraphina flinched a little.
She was not expecting that.
"So what now?. Are you going to fool yourself and think I'm lying while the wedding takes places or do something" Seraphina went on
Dorcas raised an eyebrow, a slight confusion now etched on her face,
"Why are you doing this?" She asked.
"I'm doing nothing"
"Miss. Seraphina Steele. It's time for you to make an entrance" A voice called from the other side of the door.
"Oops.. that's me. I guess I will see you later, special guest or maybe not" Seraphina said, she picked up her wedding flowers and walked away.
Seraphina took several deep breaths, as she was about to walk on the aisle.
A marriage to her worst nightmare,
With the absence of her mother,
And without a Father,
In front of hundreds of wedding guests, and only two people on her side.
A little smile carved her lips, as her eyes met Sebastian's, he was with Gabriela.
And with that smile, she walked down the aisle towards the groom, towards the enemy.
Ethan looked like he was bursting with excitement, continuously rubbing his Palms together, restlessly.
Seraphina walked on, the wedding dress flowed gracefully, cascading down to the floor in layers of soft, flowing fabric.
Sebastian on the other end, couldn't take his eyes off her.
She was all he could see at that moment and she was the most beautiful.
Suddenly, the sound of gunshots pierced the air, the wedding hall turned into a complete chaos with everyone running and scrambling for their lives.
Sebastian immediately ran over to protect Seraphina, he shielded her with his body and led her out of the wedding hall amidst the bullets flying in the air.
"She has been shot!! She has been shot!! Heeeeeellp!!" Ethan cried out.
