They dressed her up in a simple but yet classy white dress, did her makeup and hair but before that they gave have her a skin care treatment. They prepared her like a princess, like the perfect bride.
Maria was also wearing a little white dress with loose flowers, she was trying to steal the show from her sister.
Joalin always knew she would get married and have children, even though Alonzo was going through the wrong path, she had hope he would change and come back to her as the good man he was inside. She never dreamt of marrying a complete stranger, an abusive, arrogant and egotistic stranger.
When time came for her to go, she just took her sister hand and promised that she would do this for that little girl, so she could have a life, it was obvious that Thomas cared about her so she would try not to mess it up.
Lucas was the one waiting for her at the end of the stairs.
_You look beautiful little sister!_ he said smiling and guiding her to his his i***t brother
_Thank you_ she replied trying to smile.
Thomas looked at her and convinced himself that, that was the best decision he ever made. His soon to be wife was perfect, her face, skin and hair was all perfect and he would soon find out if her body was also costume made for his.
_Good evening_ the marriage officiant started_ We are here to celebrate the Marriage of Thomas Bryant and Joalin Spencer and also the official adoption of Maria Lozada, soon to be Maria Bryant.
Joalin looked at Thomas shocked and all he did was smile through the rest of the ceremony.
By the pass of an hour they were officially married and the new parents of Maria Bryant.
He was crazy! Yes she always wanted to have full custody of her sister, but not like that! Now she was legally a mother... Thomas was beyond crazy, he was CRAZY!
They had a beautiful dinner with all the guests and cheered to their "happy" marriage.
_Can I talk to you?_ Lucas approached her slowly and she nodded sitting on the large expensive couch.
_What you want!_ she snipped him.
_I really want to wish you and my brother a happy marriage, because I know you can have that but... Please just don't upset him_ he warned her quietly_ He is not like me, he doesn't always controls himself the best way and I don't want you to get hurt... Try to understand him and you'll see that you actually have more in common than you think.
_Oh don't worry!_ she fake smiled_ I already know how aggressive he can be... Trust me, under all this makeup it's a sore face that'll probably be multicolored tomorrow, but I appreciate tho.
_I hope... I wish you well_ he said before leaving.
_Im so tired of this bullshit_ she said thinking she was alone.
_Watch your mouth, you're a mother now_ Thomas surprised her_ This one needs to go to bed_ mentioned a Maria sleeping on his arms.
_I'll take her...
_I want to learn how to tuck her in bed_ he started getting upstairs and Jo only followed_ I set a room for her.
The room he mentioned was everything Joalin always wanted to provide for Maria but was never able to. Every single detail had the most beautiful and dreamy touch.
_Its beautiful_ she whispered
_She is my daughter!_ Thomas answered her comment_ She'll have everything she deserves and need.
Joalin took Maria's shoes off and undid her hair braid white Thomas unfolded the covers to tuck her in.
_She is already sleeping so we won't change her clothes_ she explained to a very attentive man_ Put her on the bed and just cover her and kiss her goodnight.
He did as she told and smiled full of joy, his angel would be the happiest girl on Earth, he would cherish, protect and give her all the love he never had.
_Sleep well my angel_ he said kissing the baby's forehead_ Now let's go, let her sleep.
Joalin new that after a wedding ceremony came the honeymoon, she wasn't an expert but wasn't also a stranger to s*x. Although she only had one partner, Lolo was really good at teaching. She was no virgin but no way she would lay down with this man.
Once in their room he started undressing himself so she went straight to the bathroom to clean herself and change into her pajamas.
Her fear was understandable, but Thomas had no plans to touch her, at least not for now. He planned on giving her time to think and make up her mind.
Going back to the room was the real challenge, but she faced it with bravery only to find Thomas already sleeping, or she thought so.
_I like to sleep naked... Hope you don't mind.
Oh God it will be a long night.
