Rose pov

When I walked out of the studio out of spite and anger all welled up to my chest, I just kept walking.

I didn't know where I was going to but I just kept walking till I started hearing Buzz of music from afar.

I followed the sound, and it lead me right in front of the Mafia bar Jonah once introduced me to when he was still trying his best not to be a cheaty ass, but forbid me from entering.

Well it won't mean a damn thing any more because I am entering here right now, when I walked in I looked ahead and saw a bartender so I walked straight to him.

The man must have recognised me with the way he looked at me and ‘cause almost every single person in this town knows I'm engaged to Jonah, he dashed me a smile but I didn't retort it.

“ Give me one of your strongest mix here “

He raised a brow like he was taken aback and said, “ Okay, coming right up miss, sit and watch me do my magic!”

I just sat on the stool nearby and watched him mix the drink. If I wasn't in a shitty mode, I'd say he really did perform magic but right now, Nu uh.

He grinned back at me while holding my drink then he muttered, “ On Jonah's tab, right”

I felt the urge to roll my eyes off my eye socket, of course he'd recognised me as Jonah's fiance what was I thinking.

I couldn't reply so I just nodded and he served me my drink, “ Here you go, mi lady”

I smiled at his playfulness and muttered a small, “thank you”.

I took the drink and dawned it down in one shot and I heard Snickers behind me.

“ yeah that's what happens when you're tied to a Mafia boss, you're not certain of, but just a chance and they all come running to alcohol, shameless whores”.

I shook my head, No that not happening not in my watch would someone insult my dignity, I stood up and turned to them.

I walked up to the one I heard his voice and growled, “ what did you just say..?”

The man stood up and my eyes kind of widened in shock, he was quite tall enough to bully the shit out of me,

“I said that you are a shameless whores”

As he was saying that he was moving closer so since I stood no chance to him, I moved backwards but he still came closer almost breathing the same oxygen with me, “ Do you have a problem with..”

I watched as his eyes immediately widened to the extent that he didn't finish his statement and he stood straight immediately and bowed his head, my legs were already shaking from the impact of his scare.

So I slowly turned to know what was going on, but of course my legs just found the perfect time to tangle together and I fell face flat on the…

I fell on something soft, when I opened my eyes I gasped when I saw that I fell on a man's chest.

I instantly stood up straight and bowed my head in embarrassment muttering a little sorry but instead of the man being angry, I heard him laugh in a deep rich voice which made me look up and I think I got lost for a second at how green his eye was.

He smiled down at me everybody seem to be tall and intimidating here, “ it's okay, let me handle the boys”

He walked past me and I could hear what he was telling the boys that harassed me but with their facial expressions, it definitely wasn't good.

I watched as he talked to the boy's scratch that I was actually looking at his features. I don't know whether it was the one shot I took that was making me imagine things but this man has a nice jaw line.

And his voice was sharp and authoritative, he spoke like he owned the bar, well I don't mind if he does though, I thought with a giggle.

When he was done giving them instructions, I watched the boy's disappear out the door in a haste like he had threatened their life.

The man walked to the extreme end of the bar to where the bartender was and took a gulp from the drink that was already kept there and I watched as the liquid slid down his throat.

Ugh… I grumbled at my drunk, what the heck is wrong with me, I still watched him start walking to a particular direction.

I didn't know when my legs started moving and I followed him suit, he suddenly stopped and entered a stall. I looked up and saw what the stall was for with the word “male section” boldly written on it.

The man seemed to have noticed that he was being followed and slowly turned his back and those green eyes pierced back at me, and I felt myself melting in those eyes.

He cocked a brow at me and smiled, “Sure you wanna join me, huh ?”

I wanted to turn back and leave in order not to do something I would regret, but as I turned to leave and had flashes of Rebecca moaning with her mouth open.

Nope, after all I came here with my legs, I turned back to him and immediately grabbed the man by his collar, tipped on my toes so I could reach him and kissed him without hesitation, he let me and we both stumbled into the stall and it went shut.

I released his lips and he smiled down at me while lifting my chin like he was admiring me, then I moved my face closer again to take his lips in mine but he drew back immediately.

That made me furrow my brows at him, then he asked me while staring right into my eyes, “ Are you sure..you want to do this ?”

I nodded my head, I've never been drunk sure about something before, I muttered a little, “ yes..”

ROSE POV :

I was still sleeping when I heard my door bell ring and I jolted up in a rush and groaned when my head felt like it carried millions of weight of on it.

I grumble stood up and opened the door to see Lucy all dressed up, and I stopped in my tracks, “ What are we celebrating”

“What the heck do you mean what are we celebrating, what are you still doing… have you forgotten already “

I looked at her confused, “ I don't get you though…why are you…” that was when it clicked to me that today was the day I'm being wedded off to Jonah.

I did an ohh with my mouth and moved aside for her to walk in, I haven't told her what happened but that would come after.

“Can you give me a five minutes, I'm going to go get ready”

She sang her hands on the air, “ Whatever just get going already”

I went to the bathroom to groom up, immediately the streams of water started pouring down my body I breathed out and memory from last night started flooding in.

“ I don't love her if I did, I won't be here with you”

I remembered the face Jonah made when he said those words.

I ran my hands through my hair and hissed out in anger.

I was so stupid that I didn't see that coming, If I wasn't so love blind struck, I would have known that I was just a play toy to him.

Almost everyone around me knew including Lucy, she kept telling and I keep on ignoring it shoving the words as…

“ Rose, the least you could do right now is to be fast.., we're late” I heard Lucy voice interrupt my thoughts.

“Yeah..” with that I got out and got myself groomed up for the … wedding of course.

When I came out Lucy clapped both her hands together, “ Now that is what you call perfect huh..”

I smiled as I made a twirl, “ It looks good right.. My dad is going to love this”

“Yeah… “ then she did a little happy dance and hugged me, “ Girl I'm so proud of you you're finally getting…”

Before she could complete the statement that would make me want to puck, I said the word I've been holding in since she came in, “ I'm not marrying him”

Lucy face turned different shades of red, “Wha..what !?”.

“ I said I'm not getting married to him !!” I said through gritted teeth.

“ where is all this attitude coming from Rose, We could have cancelled it sooner.. not now”

I nodded and she came closer to confirm properly, “ Are you sure about this..”

A stream of tear pour down my cheeks and I wiped it off immediately but Lucy already saw it.

“Ah uh that's not happening, not on my watch.. What did that bastard do to you”

“He..h..” I stammered as I struggled to get the words out but Lucy being impatient.

“ He did what, talk to me Rose .. did he hurt you ?”

I nodded, “ He cheated on me with Rebecca?”

She immediately slapped her hands over her lips to stop herself from screaming out loud.

“ I said it Rose, I had my suspicions “, she said walking up and down my room, “ I knew that bastard of a man was just using you but I didn't know he would really do it, jeez”

She said sliding down the wall and sitting on the floor, “ And how did you know about it ?”

“ You know last night when you slept off, I sneaked out to go see the wedding venue then boom there they were struggling to almost eat each other self alive, Lucy they were..”

“Oh my poor baby..” She stood up and hugged me.

My shoulders shook violently as I cried, “ it's okay…it's okay yeah, So what your plan ‘cause I don't see you getting married to that monster of a man ?”

“ I say we cancel it right in front of the crowd”

“That would be humiliating to him but just much perfect for the pain he has ‘cause you”.

“I swear I would rip him to shreds, if I have to.. he would regret why he cheated on me”.

Rose pov :

Immediately I got down from my car with the uncomfortable dress that I'm currently wearing, I know this won't last that long but I can't wait to take it off.

Lucy held me when I nearly tripped walking into the wedding hall, “Careful Rose you don't want to get yourself hurt, do you ?”

I shook my head and made sure to watch steps this time, “ I just can't wait to see his face when I decline him of the word he'd kill to hear from me”

Lucy made a stop with her feet and I turned to know what's wrong, “ you know as much as I know he fucked up real time, that I have the urge to call him a bastard”

I nodded, “ you just did right now “ I said with a funny face what's she getting at.

“Yeah that exactly but.. I do not think this is the best approach, he might slit your throat and call it a mistake you know how brutal he can be”

I narrowed my eye's at her, “ you're not losing hope in me, are you Lucy ?”

She shook her head in disagreement, “ Of course not, lead the way”

I took one last look at her and turned, “ if you're too scared of what he would do or how he would react, you might as well leave now that I haven't done something stupid”

She cackled and hit my shoulder gently but me being the drama queen had to exaggerate it, “ ouch that hurt !!”.

“Oh shut up, it's not like I hit you that hard, Rose.”

I laughed at her joke then stood at the side before I saw my dad from afar, and a smile broke across my face, poor man he would be furious by the end of today though.

Lucy nudged me on my ribs and pointed to the direction I was already looking at, “Your dad just arrived”

“Well if you looked at me properly before you hit my ribs you would notice I already saw him”.

“Saying thank you won't get you killed !?”.

I just nodded and walked to where my dad was.

When he saw me , a proud smile broke across his face and he hugged me tight.

“Oh my sweet daughter, how have you been, my baby”

I smiled back at him, “ I'm okay dad “

He looked at my face and gave me a kiss on my cheeks, Awwn that's sweet I cowed at myself.

I was about to say something before the wedding bell signal rang and I signed out in panic and anger but I hid it well.

“ it's okay to be angry you know that right?”.

I looked up at Lucy and dashed her a smile that didn't even reach my eye and she looked at me like I was some fragile item.

She always make's sure I'm okay.

My dad took my hands and whispered to me, “ I can't believe you're getting married, My baby”

I almost gagged at the word marry but I swallowed down my irritation, “ I'm surprised myself dad”.

“ You've grown so well and so beau-tiful like your mother “

“Of course “

I looked around me while my dad went on and on about the marriage talk that wasn't really going to occur in the first place.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen Jonah here since I came, maybe he's inside already since they already rang the preparation bell, I scoffed at the thought of seeing him standing at the altar with a broad faked smile and waiting for a happily ever after.

Not long after we stood here, a mass server boy approached us and bowed to my father then turned to me, “ Are you the bride miss ?”

I flicked my hands in the air, “ Well isn't that obvious ?”

Lucy nudged me yet again, while the boy bowed and said, “ Forgive my manner's, the bell is going to ring sooner for the bride to walk in”

He announced and left, my dad held my hands immediately in preparation and smoothened his dress.

“You didn't have to take it out on the poor boy”

I ignored her and waited for the bell to ring and just like I thought it did and the door to the venue hissed open and I started hearing the sounds of trumpet that we're meant to make me feel whole or whatever it did.

As I walked up the stage, flashes of the face Rebecca made when she climaxed flashed through my face and I hissed in anger.

I looked up and saw Jonah standing in all his stupid glory, looking Annoyingly Handsome and innocent, I scoffed at him.

My dad helped me climb the stage and I stood facing the priest.

I didn't even bother to spare Jonah a second glance but I could fell him burning holes at the side of my face.

The priest went on with the talks and I just kept a straight face.

“ I thought you called the wedding off, seems like you're so desperate for money that you came”

I heard Jonah say and I kept quiet, that would be much better but my lips wasn't having it.

“You should know, I always kept my words Jonah.. you know so little about me.”

“I apologized it's not a big deal “

“ Tell that to the priest in your next confession then !!”.

I think that made him shut up quick on more wrong word from him and I think, I'm going to totally loose it.

The priest did the sign of the cross went on with the question before he asked Jonah first according to the rule of Matrimony.

“Do you Jonah agree to be wedded to your beloveth Rose as your enthroned wife?”

I watched David smirk like he had won a medal, “ Yes I do “.

Then the priest turned to me and went on to say the same thing, “ Do you Rose take Jonah as your beloveth and your enthroned Husband “

I bit into my cheeks and got myself prepared for the ill I'm about to commit everywhere went silent and I moved my lips and said the words I do dearly wanted to say out loud.

“ No, I don't !?”.
