1116 Words
Other says, "Wedding is a beautiful day for a woman, where you finally reunite with the man of your life," and I thought so too. But, I will never experience it. I thought you would feel a mix of emotions, yet I only feel one thing, it's sadness.
Tons of make-up are in front of me showing a lot of colors. Staff and maids are moving fast because of the grand event that will happen today. Dresses are everywhere and noises of people fill the room.
"Lady, please raise your head a little," said the make-up artist. Three days had already passed and now is my wedding day. Should I be happy? Should I celebrate?
I am just sitting in front of a mirror while a make-up artist and hairstylist is doing my face and hair. This day will never be the happiest for me. It's the day when I will eternally lose my freedom.
Kierra says she'll go with me and now she's just sitting on the sofa beside me. How can this woman be so calm when her bestie will be married to someone whom she recently knows? Is she my mother's ally? Is the world betraying me now?
My hands gripped the keychain I accidentally found in the garden that night. This keychain is owned by the Alpha, the alpha who I hoped to save me today. Its pendant is a moon eclipse, it's beautiful and shiny, is this important to him?
Kierra went out and said she was going to see her boyfriend outside, but as far as I know, she doesn't have a boyfriend, did she just lie to me? Did she slip and accidentally say that she has a boyfriend? She's so confusing today!
I sighed and massaged my temple after letting the make-up artist and stylist go outside, they told me it was done so I could now prepare and change into my wedding dress.
My eyes are glued to the dress that I will wear, is this dress really for me? Is it the right time for me to wear it?
I already know that no one will save me, but I will still try to hope a little, even if it's like beating my head against the wall, I will still hang on this keychain that I'm holding.
With my feet feeling numb, I went to get the dress and changed inside my walk-in closet. I turned around and met the mirror, my gaze suddenly stopped at the woman in front of me.
This dress looked beautiful. It's like it's perfectly made for me, for my wedding day. How I wish it was the right man and the right time to wear this, but no. A bride who wears a beautiful dress on her wedding day is nothing if her groom isn't the one she loves.
After checking myself in the mirror, I went out and put on the shoes I planned to put on, I wore running shoes so that I could run so fast if ever someone took me away later.
My mind went to reality when someone knocked on the door. "Lady, your mom and everyone are waiting for you downstairs, please come."
I gathered a lot of air and exhaled as the world had fallen apart, I grabbed my purse and the keychain before holding my gown so that I wouldn't step on it which would cause into accident. You can do this, Adri, you can do this, you can face them all, be confident, be brave, you are a queen!
Slowly, I opened the door and flashes of cameras immediately welcomed my eyes. Although there are a lot of photographers here, they are aligned on the side to give me a space to walk. I immediately walked down the stairs and my mother flashed a fake smile before greeting me.
"Adrianna! My baby, you look so beautiful!" She hugged me so tightly that I couldn't breathe, her hands gripped my waist as she whispered.
"Don't just stand here and do nothing, act with me, Adri."
Here she is again being an actress. Now, I can hear a lot of comments about her being a good and lovely mother when in fact, she is not. My mom wants me to play with her so I'll do it.
I showed a fake smile to her. "Thank you, mother. I will miss you!" I know how she is with what I said right now, I know how she hates interacting with and seeing me. From now on, she's going to be happy by sending me off to a wedding, I hope she will be satisfied, but I won't.
After a lot of fake scenes we've shown to everyone, the time came when I needed to go to the church and be wedded to Alpha Geib. I know that this part is the only chance I can escape so this is very important to me.
"Lady, Miss Kiara told me to tell you that she needs to go first and wait for you at the church. Also, good luck with your wedding."
What the hell is happening to Kiara? Did she just abandon me? We promised each other to escort one another in this situation, so why the heck is she leaving me? Did my mother brainwash her?
I sat inside the car and so did the driver. Every time he moves, my heart feels like it's been stabbed by knives. Just how sad this day will end and how I will eternally be with someone my heart despises.
My face heated as tears pooled around my eyes and started dropping. I gripped my hand just to realize I'd been holding the keychain all the time.
Even you, Alpha Damon. There's no point in hoping that you will come for me, your cousin even ditched me. Well, who am I to be saved by him? He's a great alpha and he can do whatever he wants.
I almost got into an accident when the car suddenly stopped. "What is happening?" I asked the driver and looked in front of us.
Instead of being nervous, my heart suddenly pounded with joy because of the van that intentionally blocked our way. Someone's here to save me!
The van opened and revealed men wearing full black suits. When my driver saw a gun in their hands, he immediately opened the car door and ran away for his life.
Then suddenly a man in black covered with a mask went into the driver's seat. Wait... am I really being saved or just being kidnapped?
Before anything happened, I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck and asked, "Who are you?"
