Chereads / Toxic Hearts / Chapter 3 - "I do."

Chapter 3 - "I do."

The doubt I had about marrying a man I knew nothing about, changed to doubting whether I was worthy or beautiful enough to marry such a man laced with beauty and grace.

"Aliya Marigold Balliol, second daughter of Albert and Clarrisa Balliol of the Balliol house. Do you vow to love, cherish and honour King Xavier Van-leon of the great kingdom of Euphoria, through thick and thin, sickness or healthiness, in the hard or the good times. In this holy matrimony."

'This is it, any decision I make at this moment would bring about a big change in my life.' I thought.

I looked around the church and spotted my Mother looking at me with every ounce of pride and happiness, together with Kara, my personal maid and best friend, giving me a big smile with a thumbs up.

Then I looked at the man in my front, who was meant to be my life partner.

"I do." I said, while holding the tears that was about to rush out.

"King Xavier Van-leon of Euphoria. Do u vow to love, cherish and honour Aliya Marigold Balliol of the house of Balliol, through thick and thin, sickness or healthiness, in the hard or the good times. In this holy matrimony."

"I do." He said.

"You may now kiss your bride."

'--what, I totally forgot about this part.' I thought in my mind.

At that moment my heart was racing, this was going to be my first kiss.

The entire room filled with anticipation, the king and I stood before each other, with my heart pounding. This arranged marriage had brought us together, never would I have imagined that I would ever get married to the king.
