"Well,uhm!"the priest cleared his throat loudly.
"According to the old testament,such person must be stoned,as it is an abomination, something barbaric, unaccepted,seen as vile,and vulgar! to have an intercourse with a woman you're still courting or hasn't married.
In reference to the new testament,such - a person..."his eyes swept Daniel up in a single look.
"Shall not be stoned,nor judged, but a greater punishment awaits the person in the kingdom above."
Angela c****d a smile.
"Oh, what's this?"
"Isn't this supposed to be a rich daughter's wedding?"
"Beat me! This isn't wedding but a house of noise!"
People exchanged derogatory words among themselves.
Lena turns around and gave a snort,with blazing eyes,before poking her mother again.
"Don't just wait for her to finish ruining the name you and dad went through so much to build. It's obvious... she's a psycho!"
"Always wait for the climax of the story,Elena."her mom rests her jaw on her palm,leaning out of her chair.
Her eyes were fixated on her pretty daughter,that was so busy,and enjoying digging her own grave.
"This wedding with Mr Daniel Earnshaw has just been,officially,called off!"Angela's voice pervades the room as she covered the people with her determined glowing eyes.
She stared down,beside her,to that man and he raised his eyebrows at her, interestingly.
He looks amused,contrary to what Angela thought he'd look like.
She expected him to be angry...for the drama he was made to take some time out of his busy schedule to watch.
He's the CEO of the famous company in the city.
He was invited by her mother on her request to her the other night,in exchange of something precious she owns.
Abigail nod her head at Daniel who gave a knowing look back to her before slipping a document from his pocket.
"I.."Angela trails off as she saw Daniel stepped before her and raised a document in the air.
Lena's mouth bursts into a smirk,and Abigail relaxed back on her chair - The End!
"Miss Angela Wilson has been diagnosed of dementia a month ago.
She seldom forget things and mix images of different things together.. bringing an incident or the Great Ceremony of England into affairs of Russia,"
The people laughed,and they were soon sending sympathetic looks Angela's way.
Her eyes roam around,yearning for their confused and furious expressions but it became only sympathetic.
Her hands trembles beside her.
Dementia? She scoffed.
She snatched the paper away from Daniel, staring down at the contents written in it desperately.
"Oh,such a beautiful and innocent girl is suffering from something so brutal..."
"No wonder she's been spewing nonsense ever since."
"It's so easy to find people like them out...look at her unusual eyes. I heard the eldest daughter of the Wilson family was a troublemaker,but she was too pretty,and gentlefaced that I didn't believed those words.."
She heard the people running their mouths,and she grinded her teeth together.
She hasn't even been to the hospital in ten months!
"This....is ridiculous..."she mumbled under her breath as a sharp pain hit her stomach.
So,she wasn't the only one preparing?
A tornado of emotions clung onto the flesh of her stomach, making breathing difficult.
Her eyes dampened...a call of tears.
She raised her head and passed a look at her mother's way who smiled at her before standing up to address the crowd.
"I apologize for what the eldest daughter of our family has performed today.
As her groom had said, she has an unusual apple in her head that,"Abigail eyed her daughter before continuing.
"...rotates around,and drives her crazy,sometimes
She saying she saw her groom having an intercourse with another person isn't totally false,"she turned back to the crowd.
"What?"a woman in the crowd snickered loudly.
"What's really up with your family, Mrs Winslow? You should learn to keep your people under check!"
Daniel's eyes shrinks in discombobulation.
She's not betraying him,is she?
Abigail ignored their words and moved on with what she was saying.
"It isn't entirely false as the scene is indeed real,but Mr Daniel wasn't the character in it but her dad,who is my husband.
That was what led to our divorcing three years back..and poor Angela,as her mom,I feel so sorry for her.."she began shedding crocodile tears.
Lena was reliving in sheer delight as her sister is being mocked...her image being tainted!
She started the fire, only for it to catch her cloth herself!
"Ange..my Angela has been greatly traumatised by that.."she finished,with a sniff,taking her eyes to the floor, dolefully.
Lena hugged her,before leading her back to sit down.
Now they aren't just attacking her but her dead father!
Angela pressed her lips together, anger simmering in her but she just look at the bigger picture.
She tore the paper in her hand into pieces and gave a relaxing chuckle.
Lena's eyes glowed out as she watches what goes on on the altar.
How come she's fine?
She should have started trembling or even ran out by now?
What has happened to her pathetic sister?
"Mom,take a seat, we don't wanna talk about what happened fifteen years ago,do we?"Angela's lips welcomed a smirk,as her head slowly tilts to the side,menacingly.
The energy in Abigail's legs sapped as she glanced at her daughter.
Her eyes flickered,her breath hitching in her chest when she saw the confident of her petite daughter.
She looks different... cunning!
Angela took a step forward and exhaled heavily.
"I,Angela Wilson is here today to wed Mr Winslow, contrary to the name - Earnshaw you saw on the invitation letter." Angela's sudden announcement broke into the hall,and the crowd all gasps.
