EMMA POV
With the help of the girls,I got dressed for the wedding.
The make up was re applied and when they finished,I stared at my self in the mirror
As soon as the dress was taken from Nina,They took her to another room and I wondered what they were doing to her.
I only hope that Micheal would not kill her,No matter what she is still the girl Brian love.
Brian! I wonder how he will feel when he finds out that he won’t be getting married to Nina
“THE BOSS has asked me to bring her “A man said from the door way and I was pulled out of the room
I saw Micheal standing in front of a limousine, He was also dressed for the wedding .
“While they were heading to church,They were blocked by my guards and was forcefully brought here”
“So if you were asked why you were late,Just say it’s the traffic”He said
“Can’t you stop this! Don’t you see that I don’t want this!”I yelled at him
“It’s too late to leave this ,You are now a part of us and you will keep on being one until you die”He answered
“Nina wouldn’t like this one bit, Why don’t you just use Nina,She will be perfect for it”I asked
“Emma one more word from you and your father pays for it! Now get into the car and go get married to him!”He yelled at me and knowing that the threat on my father would push through if I didn’t do what he said ,I got into the car.
While the car kept going,I thought about what would happen?
How would Brian react? How would he feel when he opens the veil and sees that the person underneath is not the woman he loves.
I had thought that once I left, Every thing will stop and I can start my life over again but Micheal had known about it and he had planned this in store for us.
The car stopped in front the chapel and as soon as the door opened
Natasha along with Dora mom ran towards me.
“Where have you been? You should have arrived a while ago”She yelled at me
“Just say it was the traffic”I remembered what Micheal said to me and I told them the same thing.
They helped me out of the car and while Natasha did the finishing part of the gown
Dora mother took my hand in hers and stared at me
“You don’t look happy Dora,Are you having second thoughts about this marriage,If so tell me,Am willing to help you”she asked
“I thought you and dad wanted this marriage to happen, Marrying Brian is the only reason You signed those contract”I said
“It was both selfish of us,We wanted you to live a better life and so we gave you to him in exchange for signing the merger, We didn’t think about your feelings, We thought you were fine with it but seeing you now have made me realise that we were wrong”
“So my dear tell me, If you don’t want it to happen,I won’t let it ,I won’t let you be condemned to a loveless marriage for the rest of you life,Tell me!”She said
I thought about what she was saying, Just one word from me and I won’t have to marry Brian, Can this be another chance for me?
Just then a car parked behind the limo and when the driver got out of the car , I knew that I had to go into the church no matter what.
“Honey! “Natasha said running into micheal arms and giving him a kss.
He released her and stared at me,Daring me to do some thing that will put my father life in danger.
“Answer me Dora! If that door opens,It would be too late”She said
“I will marry him mom, Thanks for offering to help me but I have to do this, I have to get married to him”I replied and she nodded her head in acceptance.
Micheal, Natasha and along with Dora mother went into the church.
I stood outside with Dora father ,Waiting for the time I will walk down the aisle.
“Your mother told me that you don’t want to get married! If you still have that thought in mind,You just have to say the word and I will make it happen,”He said
“I told mom the same thing and I will also tell you the same thing,I want this marriage”I replied
“Fine then, If you are sure you want it” He said and at that precise moment the door opened.
“Its time”He whispered softly and together we walked down the aisle until we got to the altar,Where Brian stood waiting for me.
Even under the veil,I dare not look at him, The smile on his face belonged to Nina,Nina whom he believe would be the one under the veil but he will be shocked to know that I am the one underneath it.
The priest began the wedding and he took my hand In his,Giving me a smile.
,Asmile I never returned.As soon as the prayer ended, He went to the priest and said some thing to him.
He must have noticed that some thing is wrong with me because no matter how I try,I feel nervous about the whole thing.
He came back to stand beside me and then he took my hand in his.
I was surprised when I heard the priest saying “It’s time for the exchange of rings”
This wasn’t how we rehearsed it unless Brian told him to skip the other part.
I held his hand and slipped the ring in it and he also did with mine.
We signed the documents that made us legally married and seeing my name linked with Brian made me realise that there was no going back for me, None at all………
“You may kss your bride”The priest said.
This is the part have been dreading ever since I walked into the church.
He tried to raise the veil and I stopped him by putting my hand on his,Shaking my head for him not to do it
“Its okay, No need to be scared Nina,You are now my wife and no one can do anything about that!”He said
And when he took hold of the veil this time,I didn’t try to stop him
He opened it and when he saw that it was me He was shocked!!!
“You!!!! ” He said but when he noticed that the guest were watching us
He forced a smile on his face and did as the priest had said
He kssed my lips,it was the briefest kss of all but it stirred me and made me feel warm.
We walked out of the church and while every one began to take picture,He pulled me to the waiting Limo.
“What is going on!!!”He yelled at me
“How come you are the one here? Where is Nina?”He yelled at me again
“I know this is not the deal we made but some thing came up,I just had to take her place” I replied
“You had no right to” do that! You had no right to walk through that aisle pretending to be Nina”He yelled at me
“What made you change your mind? I did as you asked me, You told me you wanted to leave and i prepared every thing for you, Why did you have to do this to me” He said again
“I had no choice okay, I had to come back”I said
“Liar! You keep on lying to me All the time and it pisses me off, What you did today has made me hate you more Dora and I will make your life a living he..ll,That I promise you”He said and got out of the car leaving me there.
“And I will make your life a living he..ll” Those words kept on echoing in my head
Brian meant what he said and am sure that he will carry it out.
