Chapter. 1

{Hazel's pov}

It was the pre wedding party today and I was getting dressed for it. Well I am happy that I am getting married to Liam, I mean we basically know each other since we were kids. He is my father's friend's son so yeah we met a couple of times. He is really sweet and talkative just like me. Well I can't wait to marry him and have a bright future with him.

“Hazel, hurry up.” my mother's voice echoed from outside and I looked at my reflection for one last time before going out. Perfect, the bodycon dress fits my curves perfectly, and the theme was olive and black. So I wore this olive dress with black details.

I walked outside just to witness everyone gathered up and as soon as they saw me they applauded.

“Here's the bride.” my father happily spoke and I smiled walking towards him and giving him a hug.

“Can I have my bride?” We heard Liam say and my father nodded, he forwarded his hand and I held it walking with him.

“Come let me introduce you to my friends.” he dragged me with him, as I struggled to match his pace.

“This is Emily, my college friend. This is Nichole, my childhood friend. This is Edward, we work together. And she is Ruby, my best friend.” He introduced and I smiled at them.

“Hello I am Hazel Watson.” they all passed a warm smile, except Ruby? What's wrong with her expressions? Well nevermind.

“Let me introduce you to my college time best friend. Come with me.” he again dragged me, this guy can't he walk Normally? We walked towards a corner where I could see the back of a tall guy who was busy on his phone.

“Alan” Liam called out and he turned around, is he for real? He looks like a piece of art. Ok I should not Simp over my Fiance’s friend.

“Hazel, he is Alan.” Liam introduced and I smiled at him forwarding my hand for handshake

“Hello, I am Hazel Watson.” I introduced myself and he just nodded and forwarded his hand for a handshake.

As soon as our skins came in contact I felt a spark running all over my body, and the way he took his hand back I assume he felt kind of the same. - weird.

“I will join you both.” Liam said as he got a call and walked towards the Garden. I looked at Alan who was just looking at Liam's figure.

“So what do you do?” I questioned just to initiate a conversation, and he looked at me.

“I am a businessman, I own a company” he spoke, damn his voice. - so deep and melodious.

“That's great” I looked towards the Garden just to notice Liam and Ruby together, I mean maybe they were casually talking. I already hate that Ruby, I don't know the reason but I still do.

“Do you think Liam is a good choice for you?” his sudden question made me turn my head towards his direction and frown with confusion.

“Of course because he is, he treats everyone nicely, he is talkative, he loves to make everyone happy.” he actually treats everyone nicely, and he loves playing with kids. also he respects my parents too. so what else do we need?

“Does he make you happy?” He bombarded another question and for a while I became blank. I mean Liam is a great guy who treats my family as his but what about me? Well he takes care of me too.

“Yes he does” Alan nodded walking outside of the room and towards Liam. I shrugged off and joined my friends - why was he asking such questions, isn't that to ask someone such questions when you are meeting for the very first time. but it's alright he is Liam's friend so.

……….

I walked outside with a glass of soft drink in my hands and just then I felt someone collide with me, it was ruby. We both fell because of our high heels and the drink I was holding was spilled all over her.

Liam and Alan were standing at a distance and they immediately approached us. “Are you both alright?” Liam asked and I nodded rubbing my hands to make the dust fall.

“The drink is all over me.” Ruby complained and Liam immediately took off his blazer and helped her stand up first and then made her wear the blazer.

What the hell, I am his Fiancee. He should help me first. He then offered his hands to me but I ignored it and stood up by myself.

I stood up and rubbed the dust off my dress, but as I was about to take a step I stumbled and was about to fall when I felt someone holding me. damn I thought I was going to kiss the land today.

I looked at his face. It was Alan. But Liam was unbothered, he is better from close up, - shut up, you are getting married tomorrow.

“Are you alright?” He supported me to stand properly and I nodded in response.

“Liam, I think she is hurt and Can't walk, you should take her inside.” Alan spoke, gaining Liam's attention. but Liam's face showed zero concern for me.

“Ruby is hurt too, and her dress is ruined. Please wait for a while Hazel, let me help her first.” Liam spoke, he has been behaving differently since ruby has arrived. It should be me who should matter to him, not that ruby.

And with that he walked away. Am I already regretting all this? - yes I am.

“Come.” Alan's voice brought me out my thoughts and I looked at him. He supported me to walk but my ankle wasn't helping.

“Don't mind me.” Before I could ask why he said that he lifted me up in bridal style and walked inside.

“Where's your room?”I told him the directions, yes we were staying in a hotel currently for the wedding.

He walked inside the room as I opened the door and placed me on the bed. He kneeled down in front of me and removed my sandals.

He gently held my ankle and twisted it, I immediately clutched his shirt due to pain but then I felt relieved immediately.

“I think it won't trouble you anymore.” I rotated my foot, and it wasn't hurting anymore. woah he is good at it.

“Thank-you so much” I mentioned and he nodded walking out of the room.

I threw my body on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

“should I just call off this marriage?” I questioned myself and sighed - then what about our family's reputation. I can't just cancel this marriage, it's tomorrow.

“It's too late” I was talking to myself when the door opened revealing Liam. I looked at him as he walked inside and sat on the bed.

“Is your leg better?” I rolled my eyes, now he remembered that I was hurt too? that time all he cared about was about that ruby.

“Is Ruby better?” I asked and looked back at the ceiling.

“I am asking about you and you are asking about her.” I frowned before sitting up. look at that cunningness.

“Shouldn't you be more concerned about me? Rather than being concerned about your best friend?” well my reaction and question both were valid, I stated the facts and it's our wedding tomorrow.

“What the problem is that Hazel, she is my best friend of course she will Matter to me.” He explained, making me stunned. so his best friend matters more than his soon to be wife - Great.

“It should be me who should Matter the most.” I roared and he rolled his eyes.

“If you wanna do the drama right now I am leaving.” He walked out leaving me speechless. What the hell, I am marrying this guy? Who doesn't even care about me? I held my hair in frustration and closed my eyes.
