His Heir, My Revenge

I couldn’t stop replaying the circumstance that got me here, It all started with a goodbye, I had gotten used to the silence that came with it, the silence in my world, my phone, and my life, most days I acted calm, went to school and other days I cried a rollercoaster, I got myself back up, l knew I had to stay sane because I had a baby on the way. Regardless of how much I acted like his absence didn’t hurt, a part of him found its way to stick regardless, I tried to hold on to the tears but I couldn’t, I cried so much my cheeks had turned red I kept cleaning my cheeks so the people at the bar wouldn’t notice my tears and start to pity me. I cleaned my cheeks over and over again, as I kept trying to pull myself together. Let me guess you're crying over an ex who dumped you. I heard the strong words from behind. I slowly turned and there he was, watching me. Now, let me take you back to the beginning…. I had never felt more alive, more nervous, more happy and more sure about anything in my life, today marks the beginning of my forever, my wedding day. Today, I will get to say yes to the man I love the most, the father of my unborn children, my best friend , my forever. I smiled as I stared at my beautiful bold white wedding dress in front of the mirror. my hair pinned into a perfect bun with my sister fussing over all the expensive details on my body. Relax, I said as I turned towards ivy, why are you looking more tense than the bride ? my mother said to ivy , as she stood up and walked towards me brushing a strand of hair off my face. You look gorgeous my angel, mom said she hugged me, awwwn, ivy reacted as she towards me and mom joined in the hug. It's ok, mom said seconds later, he's going to see you and fall in love with you all over again, mom said, I smiled. Ivy ran towards the window and looked outside and turned to us smiling , looking overly excited. What is it? I asked, zain is here, ivy responded happily, mom looked towards me looking very proud of me. I smiled and turned towards the mirror once more, taking a deep breath. Zain was waiting. Ivy said, I smiled but my stomach twisted. Not with anxiety but with a quiet voice, I didn’t let it get to me, I pushed it aside and took a deep breath again in and out, mom walked towards me and put the invisible veil on my face. Nothing could go wrong, I said in my mind. as I closed my eyes, I know him, I know him, I know him I said and I opened my eyes, knock a knock on the door broke my thoughts within seconds, my bridesmaids had filled the room and kept awning at my looks, the kept whispering and showering compliments, My chief bridesmaid, my best friend Irene, walked in. I'm sorry I'm late, she said, as she walked towards me and hugged me, the moment she came close and hugged me I could perceive something familiar. Isn’t this zain's collagen on her, no coincidence I thought and dismissed it immediately, repair your breast pad, ivy said to Irene, Thoughts immediately ran through my mind, I looked at her and noticed her dress didn’t sit right. I closed my eyes. Not today I said, mom clapped its time ladies I opened my eyes and smiled, ladies lets go. a knock on the door, ivy ran to open the door and dad was there looking at me like a proud father , he smiled deeply, you ready kiddo ? he asked, his voice so kind. as ready as I'd ever been, I said as I walked toward him and hung my hands in between his elbow. I walked down the aisle with my hands on my fathers palm, feeling the soft carpet breath beneath my glass heels, As the door of the church was pushed open everyone stood up and eyes turned and stared towards us, guests turned their heads , whispering and smiling, and then I looked forward and I saw him. My lover, my best friend, my forever, my seconds to be husband, standing there in his black tailored suit, he smiled. He looked nervous. I blinked under the veil trying to convince myself it was just prewedding anxiety, before I knew it, I reached the altar. letting go of my fathers arms, hi, he said as he held my arms and walked besides me to the priest. buzz. His phone rang, he checked the phone for two seconds reading like a message, and he looked at me and took the veil off my face towards my back slowly, then he looked into my eyes. Like he was trying to say something, he looked cold, his smile had faded. And then he held my both hands. i……I cant do this, he said, his voice trembling. I froze, my eyes widened, my heart stopped, you can't do what, baby? I whispered, I can't marry you, I cheated, he added, my mind raced, I forgive you, I whispered immediately. Don't leave me at this altar, I said as I begged him in a low voice, he looked cold. don’t do this to me, I added, the crowd had begun to murmur loudly, please, I kept saying as he left my hands, my eyes becoming teary, i just can't, he whispered, the world stopped. A tear dropped from my eyes, my heart froze, my knees went weak and I felt my body go numb, what ? I asked, not today I said to him, not now, I'm sorry he said as he dropped down from the altar. I couldn’t cry, or scream or laugh, I turned my eyes at the crowd and I looked at my dad and mom looking disappointed, and I turned towards the door and saw him walking away, I muttered strength and stood up and screamed in a loud voice, do me the favor of telling me who she is, I said and he stood. He turned back and looked directly at Irene , she then bent her head. haa the crowd gasped, haa I said, my chest tightened, my legs felt heavy, my chest stopped, my breath caught, my eyes felt too heavy and dark.
