"Do you take Antonio Winthrop as your lawful wedded husband?"the officiating priest murmured to the would-be couple.
Antonio dressed in black suit stood opposite his about to be wife waiting for a response from Leila, Leilani took a glance at her fiancee with disgust,soon tears dripped down her cheek little by little and Antonio wondered why Leilani wants to spoil her beautiful white gown for no reason with tears but he put on a smile to leave no suspicion,he probably thought she was shedding tears of joy.
Everyone was waiting for a response from Leila, Alexandra her best friend whispered into her ears"say yes Leila"even the guest shouted "say yes,say yes"
Silence filled the air for a long time and Antonio was getting really furious, what's going on, what's keeping her.Everybody expected a sound yes from her considering the fact that she was always bragging about her fiancee anytime she had the chance so if she loved him so much like she always said,then what's with the long silence.
The priest repeated the statement and still there was no response from the bride, Antonio sent a message through his eyes giving her a sign to say yes but to no avail.
Lucio,her sister kept quiet patiently waiting for the bride to say something.Leila was getting frustrated due to the noice that was echoing from the guest in the church that she pored more tears from her eyes.
"Leila?"Antonio whispered her name ,this brought out a even more teary eyes,her heart was pounding like it was about to explode,she swallowed the lump in her throat,her head swole up ready to spatt out,she couldn't even feel her legs anymore,she bit her lips and let out a small breath.
"Leilani Smith, Do you take Antonio Winthrop as your lawful wedded husband"the priest repeated himself patiently.
"What are you waiting for Leila ,say yes,he loves you"that was what she didn't want to hear,he didn't love her.
"No"Leila finally blotted out.
A lot of people popped out their eyes and some girded their mouth with their hands, Antonio was shocked at her reply,Leila wiped her hot tears as she let go of some air from within her.She braced herself and faced the crowd and shouted "NO,I won't.....I won't get married to Antonio Winthrop"
Antonio's heart shattered into pieces,his heart pounded with anger "WHAT"Leilani legs began to move forward,her brain and mind communicated well with her legs,the people paved the way for her to go as she increased her speed running so fast covering her mouth with one hand,tears rolled down her eyes,she raised her gown with one hand.
Antonio ran as fast as his legs could carry to catch up with her.
"Leila"He called out her name and she stopped immediately she heard her name,he stopped her way from going any further.
"What did you just say out there?stop it if it's a joke and let's continue"He pleaded with her so dearly.
Leila freed her wrist from his grip and wiped her tears before saying "No,I won't say yes out there to please those people out there when my heart says otherwise"
"What are you talking about Lei?we are supposed to be called couples today,why the sudden change of mind?we love each other"
He held her hand softly but she pulled her hand away and wiped her hot tears making her feel moved but she shrugged
"Well that's I thought not until when I found out what's going on"
"What?I don't understand....Lei..."
Lucio jumped into the conversation"what did you that for Leila"
Leila felt disgusted at the sight of her sister,she weeped"you,I trusted you,I thought you were on my side but it turned out that you are no different from a green snake,how could you?"
"I don't understand Leila,what are talking about,why are you calling me names"one part of Lucio told her Leila has found out and another part told her it was impossible.
"You had the nerves to cheat on me and it was with no one else but my sister and now you come here and say I should marry you, never,no,it will never happen"
Leila rushed out of the huge church completely leaving Antonio and Lucio stranded.Antonio called out her name but she claimed a deaf ear.He tapped his fore head in disappointment,how was he going to face the guest and tell them the wedding is cancelled.
"You see I told you,you should have called off the wedding a long time ago,now look at it she found out we are together,you will have fix this all by yourself"Lucio left him dumbfounded,she was not even remorseful because technically she was waiting for that to happen all day long.
On the other hand,Alex has being searching the whole jam-packed hall for Leila or probably Lucio and just then she found Lucio sitted at one corner sipping from a glass,it was as if she was celebrating.
"Where is Leila, what's going on"she scrutinized Alex and found a phone"don't you have a phone,use it"
Lucio cared less about the wareabout of Leila ,all she imagined was walking down the aisle to say I do to Antonio.
"She won't pick up"
Lucio frowned at her,she sipped from her wine before answering"so what am I supposed to do?run Helter skelter?please go away,I need to be left alone"Alex couldn't believe her,she knew she was evil but not to this extent,not so long, she received a message from her husband telling her to come home,she sighed and headed home.
Leila on the other hand was hurting and angry at that she drunk herself in a bar.
