William returned and turned on the lights in the room. Aurora pulled the sheet up to her face, trying to hide from William, but it was in vain.
William carefully removed the sheet, and upon realizing that it wasn't Gretel, he was filled with terror. He couldn't believe he had made such a mistake.
"What are you doing there?" he asked, stunned.
"I switched rooms with Gretel, the air conditioning here in her room is faulty, and she needed to rest." she responded, shamefully.
"Damn it! I made love to you. Why didn't you stop me? Why didn't you tell me it was you?" William asked angrily.
"I tried to tell you, but you silenced me," she replied simply.
"No wonder I felt that your intimate area was tight," he said, concerned.
"It's because I have never had s*x before, this was my first time," Aurora said, feeling embarrassed.
William couldn't believe he had made such a mistake; sleeping with his fiancée's sister was a serious mistake.
"What will Gretel say now?" he wondered aloud.
"You don't have to tell her anything. I won't tell her what happened. It was just a mix-up. I know how much you love her.’
"Aurora, I will hate you for the rest of my life because of this. I love your sister and make it very clear to you that I will never find you desirable as a woman," he said.
and left the room angrily. He was mad at himself for not realizing soon enough that it wasn't Gretel.
Aurora couldn't help but feel bad about what had happened. She cried not only because it was her first time, but also because William swore to hate her for the rest of his life, and she felt like she had betrayed her sister.
The next morning, Gretel's screams woke Aurora up. For a moment she was terrified and got up in shock. "I swear it wasn't intentional," she said suddenly.
‘What are you talking about? Get out of my room, the stylists are here to prepare me for my wedding.’ Gretel spoke to Aurora with complete disregard.
Aurora quickly left her sister's room, and ran all the way to her room, locking the door behind her. Her heart felt like it would jump out of her mouth. She knew that if Gretel found out what had happened, she was capable of killing her, especially with all the problems she already had with her.
While Aurora was taking her bath, she couldn't stop crying, she wanted William so much. But this wasn't how she had ever imagined having him, now she had to keep this secret for the rest of her life.
Approximately an hour later, Aurora was ready, so she went to her sister's room to see if they needed her help.
‘Mother, how can I help them?’ Aurora asked.
Cristina ignored her. Aurora felt like an extra wheel because their mother had always favored Gretel, she had always been the apple of her mother's eye.
‘Aurora, bring me some orange juice please, be quick’ Gretel said, or rather, ordered.
Aurora went down to the kitchen and prepared the orange juice for her sister. A few minutes later, she took it up. She entered the bedroom while also drinking some of the juice. She seemed very thirsty.
‘Aurora, what an awful dress you're wearing, but I don't blame you, you just don't know how to dress properly.’ Gretel said while looking at her from head to toe.
‘I feel comfortable with what I'm wearing, I really don't have to impress anyone.’ she replied.
‘Aurora, don't talk back at your sister, she's right, you look like you don't have enough money to buy a decent dress.’ Cristina said, supporting Gretel.
Aurora preferred to leave the room, her mother and sister always took sides against her
Finally, the moment had arrived. Gretel looked radiant, stunning and beautiful in her white dress, making her look unique.
"My eldest daughter Gretel, you look beautiful. William will love you even more when he sees you," said her father, Henry.
They finally arrived at the church. People were seated in their pews, William looked radiant and a little nervous.
The music began to play... Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, tan... again and again.
The bride walked in, escorted by her father. William couldn't stop smiling, he looked at her like his dream come true.
"I entrust you with my precious jewel. I know you will take care of her," said Henry, as he passed his daughter's arm to William.
"Don't worry, Don Henry, I will cherish her with my life," he responded.
William took Gretel's hand, and together they stood in front of the Priest who would marry them.
The priest said a few words as always before joining them, words of advice to strengthen their love.
After a few minutes, the moment had finally arrived. Gretel couldn't believe that she would finally become Mrs. Dexter.
"If anyone has any objections to this marriage, speak now or forever hold their peace," the priest said loudly.
Everyone present looked back, perhaps to show that no one would oppose the wedding.
In her heart, Aurora said, 'I, I object, father,' but it was only in her mind. She would be incapable of doing something like that.
Before the Priest could say anything else, Gretel lifted the veil from her face, unexpectedly, and began to cough, feeling dizzy. Then she vomited all over her dress until she started convulsing.
"Is there a doctor present?" William asked as he held her to prevent her from falling to the floor.
Quickly, one of the guests introduced himself as a doctor. Everyone was shocked, such a beautiful day had turned into a horrible experience.
"The young lady shows signs of poisoning," the doctor said.
William was astonished by what the doctor had told him. Gretel's parents were almost going crazy. They couldn't believe that their daughter had been poisoned.
‘But how, poisoning?’ asked his mother anxiously.
The guests couldn't believe that the bride had really been poisoned, this was an atrocity. What was supposed to be a joyful and beautiful moment has turned into tears.
