"You remember i told you when you wanted to get married to mason that you were already betrothed to someone else since you were a child and that the time had not yet come for you guys to get married." Felix said looking intently at his daughter."Yes father i remember very clearly, how would i forget when you forced me to break up with my boyfriend just because I was betrothed to someone who i don't know and probably have never even seen in my life before. Dad do you know that i had to force him to leave me even after he confessed his love to me just because of some silly promise you made that i had no say in, so of course i remember clearly" Joan said agitatedly remembering how she was forced to break up with mason just few days after he confessed his feelings for her. Mr Felix looked at Joan who looked like she would rather be anywhere else than be talking to him right now.He wanted to tell her about everything, about the reason for her betrothal and also the marriage, but he just
"Wait dad, i didn't get you very well, me, joan betrothed to damien? And is going to marry him?, that can't be possible dad, it can't work. Just why? Why dad, why was i even betrothed to him in the first place, why wasn't it someone else, why does it have to be Damien of all people and how do you expect me to get married to him? Huh?, i mean if it was someone else i would have agreed for you and mom's sake because that's the least i can do for you guys, but not Damien, dad who would want to be with or even marry someone who barely shows his face and looks scary, dad why did you even make a promise to his family in the first place or better still you could have choosen someone else for me but definitely not Damien" Joan said while panting."Are you done with all your rant" Joan's dad said amazed at the little speech she just gave. "What??? But da-" joan tried to say but her dad cut her off"Shhh, i told you before that whether you like it or not you must get married to damien, you ha
But there was a problem though, isn't 10 days too short for the marriage preparations so she decided to ask her father."Yes father, i will get married to him since that's what you guy's want. But isn't 10 days too short for the marriage preparations?" Joan asked with a worried expression on her face. "It is, but what can i do, it is what it is and also that's how Damien's father wants it, by the way there's enough money and resources for the marriage to take place in 10 days, so there shouldn't be any problem with that" Joan's Father said while getting up."Well, it's getting late now and I'm already done here and since you don't have any more questions to ask, i need to go to bed now. You should also get some rest, both you and your mom, you'll need it for the marriage preparations." Joan's father said as he proceeded for the door, but then he stopped and looked back."Good night" he said and finally left the room. "Goodnight dad" joan said just before the door closed completely.
The wedding was fast approaching and the preparations had already began the day after she was told she'll be getting married.Now it was only two days left till the wedding day. Joan was feeling both nervous and anxious in fact she was having mixed feelings. She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad, of course just like any other girl Joan has always dreamt of how her marriage would be like, she always fantasized about marrying her Prince Charming then riding back to their mansion in a limousine or the latest car that year. But if only she knew that it wouldn't all go as she had planned, if only she knew that fate had another plan in store for her or maybe fate didn't really have another plan for her, because she got atleast half of the things she fantasized about. She got to marry a rich husband who can definitely afford a limousine or the latest car trending, but the other half which was supposed to be her Prince Charming didn't really work, guess that was where fate got
There was also a time when some news were spreading around that although he covers his face with a mask he still looks dashing and handsome and was also classified among one of the top eligible bachelors in the country.But joan didn't bother doing any research about him because she didn't care and she didn't think that she should be bothered by someone or something which didn't concern her.There were also few times when him and his family would come over for dinner and she would always try her best to avoid coming to the dining but that couldn't work because her mom wouldn't allow it happen, she tried asking joan what the problem was but she just formed up lies upon lies which her mother didn't believe and at the end she eventually went to the dinning room. While at the dinning room she always made sure to sit very far away from Damien because something about him creeps her out and not to mention the fact that he hardly talks, only when needed to. There are also sometimes when she
"How do i look?" She asked and immediately their heads snapped towards her direction and their mouths almost dropped to the floor, well except for her mom who was able to comport herself just in time. "Darling you look amazing, this is the perfect gown" her mother said while admiring the gown. "Yes, it's definitely the perfect gown" Anita said. "Yes it is, now we just have to look for a shoe to match it up" Hailey said with a mischievous glint because she knew that Joan was already tired from trying out all the wedding gowns ."What?, no no no that's not happening, I'm already tired as it is right now, so I'll just pick out one of my old shoes when I get home and then wear it on that day." joan said as she sat down and stretched out her legs. "Nope, you won't. You're getting a new shoe whether you like it or not. Now come we don't have much time to waste" her mother said while walking towards the shoe section with her friends dragging
But joan became calm again after she heard the pastor also saying that - "a man should love and respect his wife" Joan thought in her head; at least it won't be only her who had a role to play in their marriage, although she didn't mind the love part because she was quite sure she wouldn't be needing his love in this marriage because she felt that she would be okay by herself and moreover the love her ex-boyfriend had showered her with would be enough to last her for a very long time- probably till forever so of course she won't be needing any of his love. The pastor finally finished his preaching and now it was time for them to say their vows and exchange their rings. They both stood up and went to stand at the altar, right in front of the pastor. "Do you DAMIEN NOAH WHITE take JOAN NAOMI KNIGHT to be your lawfully wedded wife, to be by her side and support her, both in sickness and in health, in hard times and in good times, for richer or poorer, till death do you part" The pasto
Damien had always thought about this moment when he would get married to the love of his life and she would fully become his, this was what helped him to remain patient knowing that at the end, the wait would be worth it, and truly it was worth it because he now had his bride and the love of his life in his hands.He anticipated the moment when the pastor would say the words he had been waiting to hear since this marriage started, which as - 'you may now kiss the bride'. He had waited long enough just for her to get ready and be prepared for this marriage as he didn't want to rush her or force anything upon her.At least he deserves a kiss from his bride, the most beautiful woman he has ever set his eyes on and also the most beautiful bride in the whole world right now. Damien thought as he went much closer to Joan.When he was close enough to her, her wrapped his arms around her waist and then used one hand to lift her chin up.Damien was dumbstrucked, she was just as beautiful as he
