The ceo's mute bride Novels & Stories

' "Dear friends and family of the Bride and Groom, we welcome and thank you for being a part of this important occasion. We..." Holding the bridal bouquet on hand, Celeste had her gazes fixed downward. On the other hand, the groom stood still without a trace of happiness on his face. He remained unbothered, his cold gazes screaming how he didn't care about the wedding or the bride. "Groom, please repeat after me." As her groom was taking his vows, her fingers around the bouquet hardened. Her eyelids nervously moved and her breathing became heavier. 'He has a husky voice...'

The door was pushed open and Kayla walked in. "Young Mrs Lockwood, it's time to get dressed." She said and picked up my wedding gown. "I am very nervous Kayla, i dont know why I'm feeling this way." I told her. She come infront of me and grabbed hold of my chin. "You don't have to feel nervous at all Alex, you're beautiful and so much in love with my brother, nothing can go wrong when the great Killian Lockwood is there." She cajoled, trying to pacify me.

The bride carefully placed her palm on his and they both turned to the priest. The marriage rite kick off afterward. Davis was staring at his bride from the corner of his eyes, he was glad that he'll be getting married to the most beautiful lady in Braeton city. "Do you, Claire Wilson, takes Davis Del Rio to be your husband?" The priest said in a loud voice. She didn't answer. Her heart was beating so fast. She was sweating profusely. Davis frowned deeply. Why was Claire taking so much time to answer?. Was she having a second thought?

“I swear the name sounds familiar but I don't really know.“ “Are you sure, can you remember where you heard the name?“ I asked. “Ummm. Umh umh I think I heard it when I had just started working for Mr CEO and I think it's not Tara, it's Taratina.“ “Really? Do you remember a thing about that name?“I asked and I saw her twitch her lips. “Um Tara, that name was mentioned when I just got the job. I really didn't know her because she'd left before I began working and it was sort of forbidden to speak about her but I heard she was the CEO'S Fiancee” she said, making my heart fly out from it's cage. “Really?“ “Yeah but why do you ask?“

"Lexie Shay Dillon, do you take Zheme Mardruk Algae for your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" Lexie looked towards Zheme, hands nervously squeezing his. "I...I do." "You have declared your consent to the church." The priest clasped both his hands behind his back, a pleasant yet hardly noticeable smile on his lips. "You may now kiss the bride." Zheme was the first to lean in, plump lips crashing onto Lexie's with a gentle passion. Her lips were as soft and as moist as ever and just like Zheme's they moved with a slow and delicate tendency.

I slide the wedding band onto his finger, letting my touch linger. The priest turns. "Do you, Bruno Sanchez, take Cecily Baxter as your lawfully wedded wife, to love and to cherish...?" Silence. "Your answer, please...," the priest whispers when Bruno's silence becomes awkwardly disturbing. Still nothing. A chill creeps up my spine. I slowly raise my eyes to his. Why was he quiet? "Bruno, please say something," I whisper. "Mr. Bruno Sanchez, the congregation is waiting." The priest's firm tone does the trick.

“I know the damn script, Catherine. I don’t need a lecture.” “Do you?” she shot back, her eyes narrowing. “Because I’m not so sure. We’ve sunk twenty million into this wedding, not to mention what we’re paying Vivienne. One wrong move, and it’s all for nothing. Get back in there and act like the leader you’re supposed to be.” Her words hit hard, cutting through my anger. I ran a hand through my hair, trying to calm down. “Fine,” I said, my voice tight. “But don’t think I’m letting this slide. Damien’s not walking away.”

She asked. The panic was already beginning to spread on her face and it took a lot from me to not break down right there and start chuckling. " No, the groom is a very handsome man but he is in a wheelchair. He is the first son of the Dwayne family" she said and Tiffany gasped as though her life had just crashed over her head. " No no no! My mother will never do that to me. All of you, get out right now!" She yelled. I saw her face of panic just as I left and I flashed her a smirk, causing her to wince as she typed furiously on her phone.

“Wow, just wow, Nathan. While I’m facing backlash for what happened at the restaurant yesterday, you’re here playing house with her.” Nathan looked just as confused as me, she grabbed her phone from me and pointed the screen at me. It was a video of Sophia’s crash out at the restaurant with people captioning it as the ‘Crazy supermodel who had a breakdown at a restaurant.” I grabbed her phone and scrolled down. It was a video taken at a far angle, but you could clearly see it was the time when Nathan kissed me on my forehead. It was captioned that the CEO of Cross Global Enterprise has a soft spot for his wife.

I didn't think it was all necessary since this was anything but a real marriage. But then, Freddy and I were the only ones who knew. Once I said ‘I do’, Freddy slipped a diamond the size of a golf ball onto my finger. I appreciated the effort he was putting to make this look real but I thought it was too much. Well, he could afford it. The officiant's voice cut through my thoughts, “You may now kiss the bride.” My stomach plummeted on hearing those words. I looked at Freddy, panicking as he leaned in.
