"I know my bosses, and you aren't part." The man said rudely.

"Stinky breath!" Allison grabbed him by the collar.

"Allison! Listen and go back home! I'll be fine!" Seraphina shouted.

Allison looked back. "And leave you here in the rain?"

"Go back, I'll be fine! Just throw me a lighter!" Seraphina glared, nodding.

Reluctantly, Allison dropped her hand and let go of the gatekeeper. She went back to her car, got a lighter and threw it into the gate metal hole.

Seraphina caught it.

"Girl, you better stay alive till tommorow morning," Allison stated seriously, worried.

"The rain is about to stop, Allison. Don't panic, I've experienced more." Seraphina smiled.

Allison got back in her car, and as she drove off, Seraphina stretched her middle finger at the gatekeeper.

[8PM]

The rain has stopped now, and the sparks of the street buzz is back with people touring bars, clubs, restaurants and grills.

Expensive companies skyscrapers rose like mighty shadows, towering above other buildings.

On top of one of the skyscrapers, Wrath Investments Empire was carefully crafted in red color. This skyscraper is black, glinting.

The top investment company in this city, owned by Dean St. Graves.

Across the road, a matte red BMW sat parked, and from the car backseat, a pair of threatening blue eyes stared out at the skyscraper with questionable intents.

But not for long. Five minutes later, the car moved, rolling smoothly across the city of NYC.

The window wound up, and the blue eyes disappeared behind the glass.

[Savior's Alive Church]

The sisters, brothers, choristers, and the nuns were already waiting in two lines in front of the Church, all wearing their garments and holding the sweetest baskets of roses.

When the car drove into the wide park, their anticipation rose.

They've been preparing for the new Priest Tobias's arrival as he's a special one according to the Church management.

The day was finally here.

Jude quickly got down. He's the Church Brother who went to pick him up. He opened the door, and as Tobias stepped out, the marvels in the eyes of everyone was obvious.

He's indeed the youngest, most handsome Priest here.

And the first blue-eyed one too.

"Welcome to us, Father!" They chorused, pouring the roses around to sprinkle on his path.

"I hate roses," Tobias hollowly said as he walked inside.

"Drop the baskets! He says he doesn't like roses!" Jude scolded them as he ran after Tobias whose long legs are making his walk too fast.

Everyone began dropping their baskets. Everyone except one of the nuns—Estelle.

She couldn't stop staring at Tobias retreating figure, and her palms kept tightening on the basket handle.

[Next Day]

The Church premises felt like a meeting of wealth was happening inside as different expensive exotic cars rolled into the park.

Dean himself sat inside his car with his Secretary and his Uncle Will.

His hair was perfectly brushed back, and he's adjusting his tie.

"Why the hell is Saint not here ? His older brother is getting married!" He complained.

"Even if he doesn't appear, your twin brother will be the Priest officiating your marriage, that's enough." Uncle Will mentioned.

"Tobias?" Dean faced him, grimacing. "Funny that you think his evilness has changed. I'm not happy about his return by the way, so I need Saint."

Before Uncle Will could respond, the car door pulled open, and Saint's head popped in fast.

He has the face of a lawbreaker, and the smile of a miscreant. Brutally handsome like his brothers.

Saint wore a white singlet on his white slacks, tiny earrings, and there were multiple hickeys and lipstick prints around his neck.

"You little shit!" Dean cussed.

"No, you aren't entering the church looking like that," Uncle Will pointed. "What's with the singlet and the hickeys and the lip prints?"

"I have my suit on my bike. And about my neck..." Saint laughed dryly. "My girls were thirsty for dick today. I had to give them some."

He stretched his hand to Dean's suit pocket, pulling out an handkerchief.

He cleaned his neck lipstick with it and threw it back at Dean.

"One of these days, I'mma kill you and bury you in our family graveyard." Dean glared.

"Don't threaten me with a good time, brother." Saint slammed door shut. "Can't wait to see Tobias as a Priest! I still can't believe it...that fucker was a terrifier several years ago."

Inside Seraphina's car, Allison was the only one with her, checking her makeup out for the umpteenth time.

She got her wedding dress washed and heat-dried early this morning. Luckily, it stayed intact, and makeup covered her facial bruises.

Thanks to medical contact lenses, she won't be needing her glasses today.

"Girl, you look gorgeous. Dean is so lucky." Allison praised.

Seraphina chuckled, nervous. "I

Glad I'm finally leaving that house,"

"I know," Allison nodded. "What did Dean say about last night's lockout?"

"We haven't talked," Seraphina sighed, nervousness increasing.

"Are you joking?" Allison blinked. "No 'Good morning My Bride, Can't Wait To Fuck You Forever' message?"

The door was pulled open suddenly. Dora and Kimmy showed up glaringly like Cinderella stepsisters.

"Time to go inside the Church, Talentless Frump." Dora rolled eyes.

"Y'all are animals in that family, except Phina." Allison scoffed.

"Of course we're animals," Kimmy smirked. "Wild animals who'd eat a little mouse like her for lunch."

Allison wanted to clap back, but Seraphina pulled her.

She's not ready to deal with her two mean sisters this morning.

She got out of the car, and Allison followed her quickly.

Genevieve and Marley were right beside the car, but no words came from them to Seraphina.

They just entered the Church, and the mean sisters followed them.

It was Allison who led Seraphina to the Church entrance where Dean was already waiting at.

From under her veil, Seraphina smiled gorgeously at Dean.

Dean returned it softly, taking her left hand to hold. She held the flower bouquet with the other hand.

Seraphina's smile blossomed more, and the choir voices rose in the soft holy matrimony hymns as they began walking down the aisle to the altar where the Priest—Tobias, stood.

Tobias wore his Priest vestments with the stole hanging down his neck.

Most Priest have their vestments in white, compulsorily. His is black, but the stole is color gold though.

He stood at the altar calmly—an eerie type of calmness as he awaited the bride and groom.

Jude and the other brothers lined behind him, carrying the vow book.

Tobias eyes stayed emptily on Dean. Dean's stayed on him too, hatefully.

But it was only for a minute before

Dean returned his gaze to Seraphina.

Tobias's eyes fell on Seraphina too, but immediately their eyes met, he looked away with an obvious smirk which made Seraphina's eyes twitch.

She got to the front with Dean, and the guests started gasping, some pointing, some murmuring.

Tobias eyes stilled in their sockets.

Dean and Seraphina looked at each other, wondering what's going on.

"That bitch is stained? Ew!" Kimmy shouted from her seat, staring at the round red mark on Seraphina's butt.

Allison spranged up with wide, round eyes. "Phina..."

Dora bursted into laughter. "She doesn't even know when her period is on? Such a dirty, filthy thing!"

Seraphina froze.
