Rain took a deep breath, trying to focus on the task at hand while brushing off the fact that Alexander was there. Currently, she was wearing a black wedding dress with a veil covering her face to hide behind.
However, she knew she would have to remove the veil eventually. Knowing that she couldn't help but wonder if he would recognize her. Surely, with her sexy, dark, and mysterious makeup with a fake distinct mole under her right eye, there was no way he would recognize her.
'Focus… focus,' she chanted inside her head, silently convincing herself that her disguise was enough for him not to recognize her.
With her trust in her guise established, Rain began moving along with the music. Going through the flow, the audience roared as the dim light focused on the stage.
All eyes on her, Rain took to the dance floor with fluid movements. The soft glow of the stage lights illuminated her figure as she gracefully moved to the rhythm of the music. Her performance was a blend of elegance and allure, captivating the audience with each carefully choreographed step.
As the soft glow of the stage lights continued to focus and cast an alluring aura around her, she carefully approached the groom seated in the centre of the entire room. Circling around him slowly, her hips swayed sensually as her fingertips lightly grazed his shoulders, sending a shiver down his spine.
"Bella will kill me if she sees me like this!" the groom shouted, making his friends laugh.
"Just tell her to stop focusing on you and go to us instead!" one of the men behind him shouted.
"In your dreams!" the groom humorously barked.
With a playful smile, Rain leaned in close, her warm breath blowing against his ear as she whispered a few words lost in the music's cadence.
"Focus on me, baby…"
Putting on a sultry tune, she traced a delicate path with her fingertips along his jawline, her gaze never leaving his amidst the pulsing lights and the hushed murmurs of the audience.
Then, another performer sensually joined her and took away the veil covering her face.
As the music swelled, Rain's expression became all the more intense, her eyes locking with the audience as she portrayed a mix of sensuality and artistry with every step.
The men gasped at her movements. "So sizzling hot!"
"Lyndon, if you're scared of Bella, just tell her to go to me now!" another man shouted yet again.
The aforementioned groom, Lyndon, could only let his lips remain parted, drool dripping down his cheek as he stared at Rain's body swaying sexily in front of him. As if that wasn't enough, other dancers then approached her and started tearing off more fabric from her black gown, revealing her silky smooth and glowing skin.
However, despite focusing on entertaining the groom, Rain couldn't ignore the intensity of Alexander's stare bearing down on her. Not that it would stop her from doing a proper job.
Doing her best to put on a show, she swayed her hips side to side with the beat of the music, starting slowly until the rhythm intensified, creating a mesmerising effect. This captivated not only the groom but also the entire audience. All, except for Alexander, whose face was turning darker by the moment, was pretty much under her spell. Nevertheless, she maintained her poise, skillfully manoeuvring around the groom with seductive movements.
As the performance slowly reached its crescendo, the other girls around her continued to tear away at her garments until she was only left with a strapless short corset dress in black latex, revealing her full cleavage and perfectly shaped legs and thighs.
The show wasn't over until the final act, however, which would end up with her stripping until she was left with just a two-piece bikini.
It was daring, for sure. Still, it was no big deal for Rain since women nowadays casually wore them to swim. Besides, what was important was that these men could only drool and ogle her body. They would never have it, that was for sure.
Moving gracefully, she smirked in front of the groom as she started untying the lace of her fit corset.
However, a firm hand suddenly grabbed her by the wrist, stopping her performance.
***
Alexander frowned the moment the light hit the stage and the entertainers started performing. For some reason, his eyes became fixated on the woman at the centre of the stage, the one wearing a black gown with a veil. It was obvious that she was the main performer with the others serving as mere backdrops for her act.
The performance went as planned, and he could admit that it was a sexy dance, one that she executed gracefully and elegantly. It was a good performance. That was until she had her veil removed.
"That face," he murmured, his eyes unblinking as he stared at her.
The woman wore fierce yet seductive makeup. Looking closely, he noticed the mole under her right eye. Even the brown color of her eyes was different. And yet, no matter how much he tried thinking otherwise, she looked exactly like Rain Clayton to him.
That couldn't be right, however. Rain Clayton had long wavy auburn red hair with slight bangs that complimented her fox-shaped, sea-green eyes well. Those soothing mixes of green and blue colors in her eyes could easily draw anyone in, something that he could never forget about the woman.
Back to the performance, his face darkened the moment the other women approached and started tearing off the fabric of her wedding gown. She was the perfect prey to all the predatory eyes in the room, and the cheering only continued as she swayed her body further.
He just couldn't help but wonder. Could she be Rain Clayton, his wife? If that was the case, what was she doing here? He knew how good some people could disguise or impersonate themselves as someone else since he was a testament to that. His surprise marriage with Rain Clayton was a perfect example since both of them weren't even aware of how it happened.
Then, it hit him… 'Could this be the woman in the marriage certificate?'
Alexander felt like his head would burst at any time with all of the scenarios swarming inside his head. He was getting very bothered right now when he shouldn't be.
For all he cared, this woman could be nothing more than a stranger even if she was Rain Clayton or not. However, he didn't like it whenever he couldn't find a proper answer to things… Tonight, he would find out the truth!
Turning his attention back to the performance, Alexander cursed under his breath. The woman was now taking off the lace of her corset, slowly untying it at an agonising pace. At that moment, his body seemed to have a mind of its own as he quickly stood up and approached her. Grabbing her wrist, he stopped her from stripping further.
"That's enough! They've seen enough!" he growled in a firm and solid voice.
"Cousin, what are you doing?" Lyndon interjected, complaining loudly. "It's my stag party, and my friends paid her to do this!"
His face was still dark and moody as he turned to him. "I'll pay you tenfold to get someone to replace her," he hissed in annoyance. "This woman is mine for the night!"
