Chapter 5

The sound of the piano could be heard. The congregation stood up and the bride walks in with her father holding her.

Eric looks up and sees her, she's looking like an angel, the beauty is dazzling, he just can't put it into words, Luck who happens to be the best man is finding it difficult to cover his mouth at the beauty he's seeing.

Mira standing at the front row, eyes on Eric, She wishes she's the one Eric is looking at that way.

Abram standing close to his mother who happens to be a crying mess, his hands around her comforting her.

Marcy looks excitedly at the beauty coming, who knows her brother still has eyes for good things.

Everyone was mesmerized seeing the walking angel. All acknowledge her beauty.

Avery is conflicting with her mind. Hatching a plan to fall down and blame it on the heels she is wearing and probably the marriage will be cancelled. Or pretend to have high blood pressure and faint, the marriage will be cancelled nope not a good plan

Probably take the mic and announce to everyone that she's already pregnant for an unknown man. Who would want to get married to someone who had a threesome with strangers in a public toilet. She bent her head and laughed quietly, sure her father would be disappointed in her.

But she will live. They stopped walking. Avery raised her head and saw that she was standing right in front of Eric at the foot of the altar.

What she wanted to say was swallowed immediately. Her words were caught in her throat. Who is this man looking at her like this?

He's looking so handsome. She didn't know she was staring too much, and she didn't hear what the priest said.

“Cover your mouth you are drooling” she heard his voice whisper 

“Wait what?” She snapped out of it. When did he come so close to her? She has lost her mind.

“Miss?” the priest called 

“Huh”Avery moved back a bit away from his heated body.

“Your vows please, repeat after me” the priest says.

And Avery did as she was told.

“Now you may kiss the bride,” the priest announced.

What!? kiss which bride? Before she could think of anything she felt soft lips on her own lips. So cold and soft. He felt her breath being taken away. She felt lost in the kiss, immediately she withdrew away with a sheepish smile.

She turned and saw her mother smiling at her and others that she doesn't know clapping.

“You did absolutely well son.” Mr MacMillies patted Eric's shoulder with a smile while they are both watching Avery who's talking with her mother.

Eric scoffed. “She's pretty good herself”

“Pretty is an understatement, she is beautiful, she's perfect herself”. Mr MacMillies said.

They are in the reception hall, doing the after party.

Eric still couldn't believe what happened in church when they were taking their vows. Immediately Avery raised her head to look at him, he got hit by a cool breeze, she's just too beautiful to behold. How can someone be so beautiful like this without a flaw. He smiled, he's definitely going to use her for his benefit, after using her he will dump her. 

He smiled at his own mischievousness.

“Ahem” He turns around and met with Mr Lincoln.

“I can see you fancy my daughter so much” Mathew said 

“Mr Lincoln,she…..”

“Please call me Mathew, you are my son in-law already” He said with a smile.

“From today I will try” Eric said 

“I'm handing my precious jewel to you Eric. Please don't treat her badly. I know Avery can be…..a little difficult at times, but when you get to know her, you will know she's a lovable person” Mathew said.

“I will try my best,” Eric replied.

“Bitch, you think you won right. Just cause you are married to him doesn't mean I will give you the same respect you I give him” Mira shouted whispers at Avery.

Anyone who sees them will think they are having a nice conversation. Avery has been all smiles. 

“Mira I don't think I won, I know I won. You think someone like Eric would get married to someone like you? Have you seen yourself in the mirror lately? If I were you, I would run away from you. You look like a freaking Zombie” Avery said with a smile.

“Ha ha ha ha” Mira laughed out.

“It's you I will bite first I was a zombie. I won't spare any part of your body.” She said smiling.

“You know what? I wish you had died on your way here…I wish you fell down on your way on the aisle and died immediately too, you stupid bitch” Mira said.

‘I wished so too older sister’ Avery said in her mind with a smile.

“You are such a bitter older sister. Very bitter. It's beginning to affect you.” Avery said out and walked away from her.

“How tiring, can this get any better already? I really need to go to bed now and remove this..what I'm wearing” Avery sighed exhausted walking towards her mother.

“Hey Eric, introduce us to your new wife” she heard someone say. She turned around and saw Eric standing in a group of some younger handsome men. 

She saw Eric's mouth move but she didn't hear what he said. She walked towards him with a smile wanting to give the impression of a happy bride.

“Um hello I would love to borrow my husband from y'all for a second” she said smiling to the other guys.

Ohs can be heard from them. She linked her hands towards Eric and dragged him away.

“I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt whatever you are doing. But I'm very tired and I would love to go home and rest. Do we have any reservations in the hotel here or should I just go back to your house and sleep” Avery asked.

Eric ignored her looked around and saw a beautiful girl dressed in a beautiful red gown, most parts of her body showing, he smiled and shrug

“Do whatever you want,” he said, eyes not leaving the girl.

“Ok then tell your driver to drop me at your house.” She said,

“ You are the wife, go out there and tell him you want to go home yourself. Eric said and left.

Avery furrowed her brows. What an arrogant man. Who does he think he is? He went to her mother, kissed her on the cheeks and told her she's leaving. They bid their goodbyes and she left for Eric's car

Soft moans could be heard in a hotel room. As Eric towed over the woman and sucked her nipples really hard. Mira, who can't believe what she's seeing, couldn't help but smile.

While she was sulking and sipping her wine, she felt eyes on her, she turned and found Eric looking at her. She was surprised, and looked behind her if he was looking at someone else behind her.But there was no one. When she saw Eric smile at her. She couldn't believe it, she smiled back at him. She saw Avery leaving and she was happy.

She saw Eric whisper something to his assistant and left too. Mira's face fell. But shortly after. His assistant came to her and whispered in her ear and left.

She almost laughed out loud. She is finally getting what she wants.

How she so wished Avery was here to watch her husband spend their wedding night with her. Her plans have started.
