CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

"Are you okay?" William asked as he came forward and peck my cheeks in his hands.

He was the last person whom I wanted to comfort me but I was surprised because his touch was warm, his eyes were deep without any sign of sarcasm or anything like that.

I nodded, "But, I'm sorry."

"For what?" he asked.

"Because of all this drama thing believe me I really didn't know that she was going to appear suddenly or do something like this," I said as I turned my eyes anywhere but him.

"It's okay!" was the only words he said before taking backward steps, breaking our only physical touch.

"Okay kids, just forget all about this. Can we continue your wedding, what you think? Hum!" Mrs. Vernanda said.

"Shall we?" William asked and put his hand forward.

I nodded "Sure." and held his hand tightly. It was so warm just like how my father was. It was the second time in my life that I felt I want to rely on someone after my father's death.

But on the other hand, I also knew that it was all just a temporary act to impress his parents even so I wanted to live in this moment a little longer.

The priest again continued his boring speech and once again I zoned out until father said you may kiss the bride. My eyes came out of their sockets. Is he really going to kiss me? Okay, it's not that, that it's our first kiss but in front of all.

He lifted my veil, and kissed me but for too short, not even for a full second, his lips rested on mine. One side of mine was dancing happily for this but deep inside I felt emptiness.

His lips traveled towards my earlobe heat was radiating from my face and my face turned red in a second, a chill of indescribable feeling reached to my spine, until he said, "Welcome to our family Mrs. William," his words were like a shafting blade. It felt like someone was stabbing me several times.

He walked off the alter to give company to his friends, leaving me standing there alone but not for too long because Edward felt my uncomfortable and awkwardness and came to accompany me.

"You okay?" Edward asked as he held my hand and showed his concerned eyes.

I put my other hand on him not before replying, "Absolutely. After all, you are with me so why I have to be sad about anything because you'll always be here for me no matter what, right?"

"Hell yeah of course," he replied excitedly.

"Hey Jen, why don't you have a dance with Edward. After all, today's his last chance." Vic said mocking me and Edward.

"Yeah, yeah whatever you say but it's the first time that I have actually like the words which have came out of 'your' mouth," Edward replied at which Vic started to make funny faces.

"Well, shall we, my dear world's most beautiful lady?" Edward said as he exaggerated every single word in gentlemen's manners.

"Ohh my why not, sir!" I also acted. At which we both laughed and start walking towards the dance floor.

Edward held my waist while his other hand was on my right hand. I put my left hand on his shoulder. We both were dancing to a slow rhythm song.

I started to melt in the song. I was thinking about what happened a while ago and why was it not anyone but Caila? Thinking about all this I started to feel tired and unconsciously rested my head on Edward's chest.

"Are you okay?" Edward asked as he noticed me silent for 2 minutes.

"Hmm!" was the only word left from my mouth.

"Do you want to stop me dancing anymore?" he again asked.

"No, don't stop. I'm just a little bit tired and need some rest," I told him.

"So... Do you like to go to the restroom to take some rest?" he again asked.

Oh, come on Edward stop, being like that.

"No, I'm good right now, and can you just stop asking more questions, or do you not like me putting my head on your chest?" I said annoyed he was asking way too many questions and I wasn't in the mood to answer any one of them.

"Okay, sorry for disturbing your rest. And you can rest your head on me as long as you are comfortable I'm okay with everything," he said softly.

"hmm, thank you," I said and closed my eyes. It was really comfortable. I was feeling out of any worry and hardships of life.

My eyes were closed for almost half a minute until someone jerks me out of Edwards's arms.

I opened my eyes and saw a very furious William standing in front of me with obsession, possession, lust, and with different types of emotions in his eyes.

Wait, don't tell that he's jealous about seeing me with Edward, especially with resting my head on his chest and his arms around me.

"What are you doing? Leave my hand it hurts," I said as I tried to pull my hand out of his grip, which was too tight that it starts hurting me.

"What I'm doing? Are you serious?" he asked, confused at my behavior.

"Oh, come on, stop being jealous, and it's nothing like what you are thinking," Edward tried to clear the misunderstanding, but William was out of anyone's control.

"Wait, what jealous? Puff," William starts to laugh, making me embarrassed.

"Bro, she was tired so, she rested her head on me, that's it. So, stop making it like a big deal."

"So as everyone can see that my wife is tired, I think we should leave. After all, it's our first night, right dear!" Now I was way out of embarrassment because it was more than that now.

He came close to my ear and said, "I never mentioned that you could whore around on our marriage day with my brother, but girls like you have lusted for money can't stay away from a man who has money, huh?"

His eyes were red, and when he came close to me, I smell a large amount of alcohol from him. Oh no, it's gonna be a long night after going home today especially, with a condition in which he is right now.

DO NOT FORGET TO GIVE AN REVIEW.
