"Emma Collins and David Montgomery, as you prepare to make your vows to each other, I remind you that marriage is a sacred covenant, a bond between two people that is strengthened by faith, hope, and love." The priest stated and paused for a moment before continuing.
The wedding ceremony had just began.
"It is a journey of discovery, a journey of growth, and a journey of exploration. It is a journey that requires patience, understanding, and forgiveness." The priest continued.
"As you stand before each other today, I ask you to remember that your love is a gift from God, a gift that is meant to be nurtured, cherished, and celebrated." He paused again and his eyes darted between the couple. Something didn't feel right but the priest couldn't place his hands on it so he continued talking, while managing a small smile.
"Will you now make your vows to each other, promising to love, honor, and cherish each other, through all the joys and challenges of life?" He concluded.
"I, David Montgomery..." David had just opened his mouth to start talking but was interrupted by no other person than his bride to be.
"Excuse me, please. One moment!" Emma's voice rang out through the wedding hall.
"One, two, three, four ..." Emma counted to five and all of the guests, including the priest, looked on in confusion, wondering what was happening.
However, they weren't kept in the dark for long as the video on the projector changed from the sweet compilation of the couple's loving pictures, to something else. Something shocking and jaw dropping.
Something obscene.
As it played, the crowd gasped in shock.
"What the fuck? Holy shit!" David cussed as he saw the video. It was a video of him and Victoria, making hot love. Then he quickly faced Emma.
"Listen to me, Emma, it is not what you think, I promise." David stated in a shaky voice. Emma scoffed and cocked an eyebrow at him.
"It is not what I think? Like seriously? Are you saying there is another meaning for what I am seeing in that video? Don't be ridiculous, David." She yelled the last statement at him.
Then, she smirked sadly. David was taken aback by that reaction.
"I was there. At the sex or rather the crime scene!" She informed him and kept smirking even though she was hurting so much.
"What?" He blurted, totally shocked by the information.
"Of course, you were too busy and so engrossed in the fun that you didn't notice my entrance." She snapped at him and gritted her teeth at she relived the hurtful and heartbreaking memory.
*FLASHBACK*
"On our wedding day?" Emma had muttered, shockingly as she took in the scene before her. Her whole body trembled and she felt like she was going to just collapse and die.
She couldn't even find her voice to shout or yell. She was so shaken up.
That was her prince charming right there moaning with pleasure under the mercy of another woman who was no other person but her blood sister.
"Where did I miss it? Where did I go wrong?" Emma had questioned herself, inwardly and she couldn't tear away her eyes from the duo on the bed. She had questioned her love for him. She had even questioned the love she had shared with her supposed beloved sister.
"I... I c... can't breathe!" She had muttered shakily.
"What should I do?" She had wondered frantically in her mind. She felt betrayed, she felt hurt. She felt sick.
Then, an idea struck her mind.
"Yes, I should help them record this beautiful moment, I'm sure they will want to rewatch. Maybe they would even watch it with the whole guests. That will be so much fun." Emma had said, gritting her teeth.
With sweaty hands and teary eyes, she held out her phone to make a few seconds video of the love makers. Afterwards, she had managed to drag her rigid body out of the room. The passionate love makers were still at it, lost in their little world and completely oblivious to Emma.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
"That was how I got the video. I hope you love the surprise I took my time to prepare, because it cost me tears and sweat?" Emma yelled furiously at David. Her smirk grew bigger as she looked at the crowd and saw her sister Victoria, hung her head lowly in shame.
Victoria was seated beside their parents who were looking so flabbergasted.
"Of course you should be ashamed of yourself." Emma seethed.
"Emma, babe... you shouldn't have done this." David stated calmly. He looked so ashamed.
"Fuck you, David!" Emma snapped at him.
"I am no longer your babe. I am sure this is the end of us." She added, her voice loud for everybody to hear.
"Was there even an us in the first place?" She mumbled that part to herself.
There were gasps and murmurs amongst the guests.
Emma's parents, having recovered from their shock stood up and walked up to the stage. David's parents did the same and pulled Gabriel aside.
Emma couldn't hear what they were telling him as her own parents were standing before her, ready to start talking. They looked rather calm and Emma was surprised.
"Mom, aren't you really shocked? I bet you are so angry right now at Victoria..." Emma was saying to her mother but got interrupted before she could finish.
"I am angry at your, Emma." Her mother, Margaret stated firmly. Emma was taken aback.
"What is the display about, Emma? Do you know the disgrace you have just caused our family and the Montgomery's?" Margaret asked her daughter, in fumes.
Emma scoffed in disbelief and her mouth was agape for a second before she could find her voice.
"Mom, I was betrayed. I should even do worst." She cried out in frustration.
"No, you can't. This wedding must hold. Whether you are the bride or not." Margaret stated firmly.
