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 !?”.

Rose pov :

I heard something fall off when the words left my lips.

Jonah growled at me, “ Don't . You . Dare, do this to me”

I turned to him with a smirk and whispered to only his hearing, “ Well news flash, I just did it”

“ Rose I swear I would..”

“Are you threatening me in front of a priest, he closed his lips immediately but was still shooting daggers at me, he couldn't do shit in public.

The priest who was still wide eyed looked at me with surprise, “ You have to give a reason for objecting”

“This good for nothing demon in a human cloth cheated on me a night just before my wedding”

I heard gasp and I nodded, yeah that more like it.

Jonah clutched his jaw and I watched as he held his hands in a fist restricting himself from murdering me.

I walked closer to him and whispered, “ I told you Jonah, you think so lowly of me”

With that I threw my flower to his chest and took the veil off my hair and turned to leave the hall.

“I swear I would get back to you for this in a hundred folds” Jonah said gritting his teeth at me, I'm sure Rebecca is having a blast right now.

“ My darling, I'd love to watch you try” I left the hall and went outside and the cool fresh air.

I breathed out and ran my hands through my hair, I did put on a show but I need to be alert that man at that alter is very dangerous.

“You must fell very proud of yourself, I assume”

I heard from my back and I turned sharply to see Rebecca standing with eyes blazing down at me with fury.

“Of course, I mean I'm not a stuck up bitch like you “

She scoffed at my words and folded her hands, “ What you did back there was not necessary..”

I snorted at her foolishness, “ Of course he would send his mistress to come lecture me, that's so low of him.. don't you think”

That seemed to have hit a nerve 'cause she clutched her teeth refraining herself from doing something, obviously stupid than she's already doing now.

“ Don't you dare think ill of Jonah, I don't even know what he see’s in you to start with “

“Let me think something you don't have ??”.

Just as the word got out something hard hity cheeks and I winced, wait did she just..

I hit my hands right back at her cheeks, “ You don't have the right to hit me, you hands disgust me!!”.

She made to drag my hair, “ Don't you dare lay your filthy disgusting and unpure hands on my friend “

I heard Lucy say and a smile broke through my face seems like someone is more irritated of her hands.

“And who are you her maid ??”.

I watched Lucy face turned different shades of red and she ventured towards Rebecca, oh oh..

I grabbed her by her elbow and stopped her from going further, “ Lucy I think that's okay”

She was still wriggling herself out of my reach before Rebecca did her a once over, scoffed and then left.

Jeez, this bitch better thank her gods I held Lucy back she could have been a dead meat.

When I was sure she already walked far I let go of Lucy who hissed at me and stretched up her already wrinkled clothes because of how hard I was holding her.

She pointed a finger at me in anger, “Don't ever do that, it was my one chance to finish her off “

“I'm sure you already prepared a grave for her but that would be too much of a work for me I'm too exhausted to carry a corpse right now”

“Are you alright, did she hurt you .. your cheeks looks red”

“Yeah just a slap across the cheeks “

That made Lucy eye shoot up immediately, “ And did you slap her back”

I raised my shoulders, “ Of course I did, what do you take me for”.

She shrugged and sat at the bench next to her with a sigh, “A softie perhaps, she can slap you and you'd still say thank you that's how stupid you can be, where's your dad by the way”

“He might still be inside and too shocked to move yet, I would give him time and talk to him when things cool down”.

Lucy nodded at what I said and looked at me weirdly.

“It's not like I'm being too careful or trying to hurt your pride but you do know we fucked up big time and your now ex-fiance would get back at us “

“Yeah and I'm ready for him”

“I hope so because I can't be jobless because you are snot strong enough to fight him back”

Then suddenly I watched as Lucy eye's averted behind me and I narrowed my eye's at her.

“Everything alright ladies..?”

I scoffed at the voice I heard, the people here are such perverts that they can't even let me take off my gown before making a Move.

I just ignored it before Lucy mouthed audible, “ You might want to take a look”

I rolled my eyes and turned to know who it was and my eyes widened when I saw who was actually talking to me, what the fuck was Mr. Handsome doing here.
