Sherina looked so restless because her wedding event had begun, and she was afraid she would actually get to the blessing ceremony with Jackson. She didn't want to marry a scoundrel like Jackson.
The invited guests were enjoying the luxurious event and even the attendees were important people. How could important people not attend when the bride was the daughter of a renowned businessman who was also a company leader and a beautiful actress and entrepreneur.
'Ah, how could I trust an unknown man like him and believe that he will help me get out of this damn marriage!'
Sherina felt very disappointed, and then her name was called along with the groom. They walked together to the Altar with a clear smile on Jackson's lips and even his gaze showed that he was pleased to marry Sherina.
Unable to hide it anymore, Sherina didn't like it, and she kept scanning the room, hoping that someone would come to help her avoid marrying Jackson. But her hope vanished after she reached the sacred Altar, and their wedding blessing was about to begin.
"Alright, it's time we've all been waiting for. Soon, the two brides will receive the blessing."
"To the groom and bride-to-be, it is expected that you calm down for a moment until the blessing is given by the noble one."
'How can I calm down when I know that marrying him will make my life like being in Hell?'
"Okay, let's start the ceremony."
"Excuse me, sorry I'm late." A loud voice with a half-shouting intonation made everyone divert their gaze. They noticed a man stepping forward.
Sherina was not unfamiliar with that voice, and then she turned around. At that moment, Sherina clearly saw a handsome man in a very neat white suit, making many eyes stunned by the man's charm.
"At last! You're here!" Sherina looked so happy; she immediately walked towards the man whose name she still didn't know, making many people wonder about what was actually happening.
"What are you doing here? Why are you waiting for him?" Jackson stared at Sherina with a confused look.
"Previously, maybe I didn't tell you, but... now I will tell you that the man who is now with me is my future husband, and I want to marry him."
The words Sherina just said made Jackson feel upset, and then he pulled Sherina and looked at her with a very sharp gaze. "What do you mean?"
"Proceed with the marriage now?"
"Wasn't the groom to be Mr. Jackson Edward?"
"Yes, he was the groom prepared by my family, but... isn't marriage done if both love each other and done willingly? If I marry him, it means I'm getting married under duress?" Sherina stared at the priest very seriously.
Sherina walked until she pulled the man closer to her. "I want to marry him because I love him very much." Sherina uttered a lie-filled sentence.
"We love each other, and our love should be united soon."
They were all confused, until the man approached the priest and looked at him very seriously. "Start my wedding with Miss Sherina now!"
As if hypnotized, the priest nodded. "First, what is the name of the groom to be?"
Without answering, Sherina immediately turned her gaze to the man so that he would say his name because she did not know who the man, she met last night was.
"Demian Silverston."
Right after that name was spoken, Sherina's saliva was swallowed at that moment because she felt that the man's aura was very cold. His name indeed suited the man with a handsome face and a cold gaze, and when remembered, Demian's hand also felt very cold.
*****
"I declare that Sherina Mardeva and Demian Silverston are now officially husband and wife!"
Many people were happy about it because the emotional atmosphere was felt, even though they didn't know who Demian Silverston was; they only knew Sherina. But on the other hand, some were very emotional about Sherina and Demian's marriage.
"As a first step, maybe Demian and Sherina could kiss each other, or Demian could kiss Sherina's forehead?"
They looked at each other first, until their eyes watched each other with a worried feeling in Sherina because she didn't know what Demian would do next.
"What do you want, Miss?"
The question with a soft tone came out of Demian's mouth without diverting his gaze from the beautiful woman in front of him, while Sherina blinked in confusion about the answer she had to give.
"Whatever it is, it's up to you... you are my husband." Sherina answered the question very nervously; she didn't want to answer randomly because she knew there were still many guests present, and she shouldn't make others suspicious.
After looking at Sherina with such a deep gaze, Demian slowly kissed the top of Sherina's forehead with a very gentle kiss, causing Sherina to close her eyes deeply.
For whatever it's worth, oh God... I hope my choice is not the wrong one, I hope this man truly has saved me from Jackson's Hell!
