After that dinner, Bea was given the authority to oversee the wedding preparations. Their families agreed to have their wedding in the city so she ended up going back and forth from the province to the city from time to time.
“Isn’t this place too big?” Mina asked as she looked around the garden where their marriage would occur.
Callum agreed to have a garden wedding and he suggested three places. He told her that she could also search for other places but she believed that his suggestion would be best even if she tried searching.
They were already at the last place and she decided that it was the best place to hold their wedding since it was big enough and it also had a cozy vibe that reminded her of her home.
“This is big enough. If it was just me, this would be too big. But I think the chairman would invite a lot of people so we needed a bigger space,” Bea explained.
“Don’t you want a small and private w
Three months passed by on a whim and only a few days were left before her most awaited day and everyone who was invited from her side was already staying in the hotel that they reserved. Though Callum volunteered to make hotel reservations and pay for their accommodations, Bea refused. Callum had been shouldering all the wedding expenses so she wanted to at least pay for her family’s accommodations. She did not want to rely on Callum’s wealth because she also had a stable job and lots of savings.“Are you excited?” Her father asked her while they were walking around the hotel garden. Brix and his family were swimming at the pool while some of her friends and workmates were taking a rest in their hotel rooms.“I’m actually a bit nervous.” And afraid. Bea could not tell her father how she was afraid of growing feelings for her fiancé. She was afraid that she would get a bit greedy and forget that Callum married her because
Finally, the day arrived. Everyone was busy preparing for the wedding along with the photoshoots. Bea woke up along with Mina, her maid of honor, and ate first with their family before they started to have their make-up done.They spent an hour on her make-up then after that, the photoshoot started. She had been called from spot to spot so that her picture can be taken. After her maid of honor and bride’s maids were finished with their make-up, they started the photoshoot with them.The morning was filled with photoshoots but before they were spared to have lunch, a videographer brought her to a corner along with his father and brother.“Who is Bea for the both of you?” The videographer asked after giving them a portable wireless mic.Brix was the first one to answer. “Bea is my friend, partner-in-crime, rival, sometimes mortal enemy, and my only sister. She was the person I used to cry with when we were younger. She was the one to
The staff called for Bea and she slowly walked on the bridge towards the garden while the photographers were taking shots of her. She could see that the entourage has started their entrance with a slow violin instrumental as their background music.The closer she got to the arc, the lesser the people in line were. After a few minutes of watching, it was finally her turn. She stopped in front of the flower arch and there was a small flower girl who was holding her bouquet. The flower girl walked from the altar towards her and bowed before she gave her the bouquet.She took the bouquet from the little girl and smiled. The girl walked back to the altar while she slowly walked down the aisle. After a few steps, she stopped where her father was waiting for her.“You’re the most beautiful person in this place today, Bea.” Ben chuckled. “Though I’m happy, I’m also sad that I’m about to entrust you to another man.”
The ceremony ended and she was led to the dressing room to change dresses. Meanwhile, the guests were asked to get their refreshments and to settle down. She wore an off-shoulder flowy white dress, this time.After the make-up artist retouched her make-up, she was then allowed to go back to the garden and she saw Callum waiting for them.“Please wait until we call for you,” the staff instructed as she informed the MC that they were both ready.“Now let’s welcome, the bride and the groom!” The MC pointed at the arc and the two of them started walking on the aisle while waving their hands.They sat at the table in the middle as the MC went on with the programs. They first called Caleb’s family to give their message.“CJ, I know you hated me for pressuring you to remarry, but you have to thank me because you got Bea through that. It was rare to find someone like her. Someone who would love you for who you are
Callum hugged his crying wife. He smiled when some of the guests laughed when they saw them. Though he was quite embarrassed, he was happy to know that his wife was happy. However, Bea’s words earlier still lingered in his mind.“Thank you. Even if we did not marry because we love each other, I still get to be this emotional on my wedding day. I’m still the happiest today.”Callum felt as if there was a stone stuck in his chest. Was he the only one who developed feelings for her? He thought that she was letting him do as he liked was because she was also growing feelings for him. Would it be a one-sided love?“Now, let’s call on the bride and the groom for the money dance.” The MC walked to the side while he led his wife towards the center.A slow love song was played as he put his hands on her slender waist. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned her head on his chest. Could she hear his heartbe
It had been months since their marriage and the two seemed to grow close than ever. They continued their normal lives except for Bea who was still adjusting even after months of being married to the Suarez Family.“Mom, grandfather asked me to visit him today,” Caleb said in a lazy tone as he ate his cereals.They were having breakfast together like usual before Callum goes to work.Bea put a glass of milk in front of Caleb and smiled. “Sure, you can. But I can’t accompany you today since I also have work.”“That’s no problem. Grandpa would be happy to have me around and Uncle Carson told me that he brought a new game today. I’ll behave well and wait for you and Dad to pick me up.”After bringing Caleb to the chairman’s house, Callum asked if they could stopover at a drive-thru.“Are you still hungry? Did you even eat the sandwich I made for you?” Bea asked when they tur
“How was your day, Cale?” Bea asked as soon as she fastened the kid’s seatbelt.“It’s fine…” Caleb looked at the window without even meeting Bea’s eyes.Bea just dismissed it and thought that the kid was tired. She sat on the passenger seat and just listened to the silence. However, she could not take it. Usually, Caleb would talk about how his day went until he fell asleep. She was afraid that something happened in that house that he did not want to tell them about.“Caleb?” Bea looked at him in the rearview mirror.“Hmm?” Caleb seemed uninterested, he did not even look at her. Was he mad that she did not accompany him to his grandfather’s house?“Will you tell Mommy if something was wrong?” Bea asked in a soft and gentle manner.“Nothing, Mom.”Bea sighed and looked at Callum. Her husband just shrugged and looked at his son through
Since the announcement of Bea’s pregnancy, the couple would often take time to have a check-up every morning twice a week. The atmosphere at home had been merry and maybe it was because of the excitement that no one noticed that Caleb had been acting differently lately.“You’re frowning again today, Cale.” Carson noticed as soon as he entered his room. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing’s wrong. Nothing… really.” Caleb sighed.He woke up without his parents again and was left to eat a pancake alone. There was no call nor text coming from them so he just asked the driver to bring him to his uncle’s house without asking permission from them.To whom could he ask permission if they weren’t around?The old woman’s voice suddenly popped into his mind. “Just wait until your mom gets pregnant and we’ll see.”Was she telling the truth? Lately, he fe
