1124 Words
Isabella’s father was filled with pride as he walked next to Isabelle down the aisle, he held her gently. Her ball gown was made with expensive gleaming lace, beaded with two hands to grace the outfit.
She looked stunning in her off-shoulder and looked like Cinderella, ready to get to her prince charming with her breathtaking gown.
The guests rose to their feet, their faces filled with smiles and a deep sense of joy.
He gave her hand to Aiden with a smile on his face, Aiden was forcing a fake smile on his face.
The only people who will notice Aiden's facial expression are those who pay close attention to him. His eyes meet his assistant’s, and she puts her hand on her chin and gestures for him to smile a little.
Isabelle's gaze caught him and they both smiled at each other.
“Do you, Aiden O’Neil, take Isabelle Vance to be your wife?” The priest grinned.
He muttered with his masculine voice, “Yes I do,” and he lowered his head.
“And do you, Isabelle Vance, take him as your husband?” The priest asked, facing Isabelle.
Isabelle spoke with confidence and a big smile, “Yes I do.” with joy.
An overwhelming sense of possessiveness overcame Levi Vance, as the priest declared Aiden and his daughter husband and wife. He would stop at nothing just to see his daughter.
Aiden, however, appeared on the verge of losing it, but he had to put up with it all just to get the deal.
His lawyer assured him 2 days before the wedding that the documents he asked for had been done already, and that gave him little confidence that he would soon be leaving the alleged marriage.
From the church, they moved to the reception hall. Isabelle was the happiest. She had loved Aiden even before she met him since she watched his interview on one of her favorite TV shows.
She felt overjoyed the day she overheard her father discussing the project with someone over the phone, and Aiden’s company was one of the 3 best companies that should be awarded the contract.
She became extremely happy and has been pestering her father about him ever since. Consequently, Mr. Vance decided to give Aiden the contract and make a deal with him for his daughter.”
"And here I am married, to the one I love,” she quietly thought of it, and she laughed with excitement all over her face.
Aiden's assistant approached him and informed him his driver was already outside. He grabbed Isabelle’s hand as they headed out, and they got into the limousine that arrived to take them to the hotel.
Their suite was luxurious, a sanctuary of comfort and style. He was so exhausted and anxious that the only thing he needed at that time was to relax his brain.
He changed out of his suit and put on something casual, and he left the room to take a walk and unwind.
He waved down a cab and got inside. He told the driver his destination, and the cabbie moved.
He kept thinking about the entire wedding scenario, including how he kissed her in front of everyone.
The blogs were there to capture the most luxurious wedding in the city, and he felt ashamed to think about it all, but he had to do it for his business's sake.
He waved down a cab and got inside. He told the driver to stop, and the cabbie moved. He was thinking about the entire wedding scene, including how he kissed in front of everyone and how the media was there to record it.
He felt bad about it all, but he had to do it for his business.
“We’re here sir,” the cab's man said to Aiden in a thick voice. He paid the man and got out of the cab, he was standing in front of a big renowned restaurant.
He stared at it for some moments and headed inside. A waitress welcomed him and showed him the way to his seat.
The waitress handed him the menu, and he looked over it and placed an order. The waitress left to bring him wine, and he asked where the restroom was, and he got up and went to it.
He left the restroom, going back to where he was seated. He was both surprised and pleased to see Sera, who was backing away from him so she didn’t notice him. He approached her and gently tapped her on her shoulder.
Sera turned around and grinned in surprise when she saw who it was, “Ohh, Aiden! what are you doing here?’’ She questioned, still smiling.
“To relax, I guess,” he chuckled.
Sera excused herself because it was still working hours, so he asked if they could meet. She agreed and after she closed from work, she waved down a taxi and went to the location where Aiden said to meet up.
It was a park. Immediately she got to the park she saw Aiden. She went there to meet him, “Hey,” Sera said to announce her arrival.
“Hey, Sera, I thought you weren't going to show up,” he said as he moved close to her, the air thick with the scent of moist earth.
The only sound is the rustling of leaves in the gentle breeze, the moon casting long shadows over the grass, making the park seem more vast and empty.
“Thanks for the other day, Aiden,” Sera said, still wondering why he asked to meet her at the park by that time of the night, but she wasn’t too sure.
They both sat next to each other on a bench in the park, staring at each other without uttering a word. Aiden broke the silence. “I think I like you, Sera,” his voice barely above whispers.
She looked up, surprised, her heart racing from his unexpected confession. “ How? "That's not possible,” Her curiosity sparked her to ask.
"We barely know each other," she added, looking straight into his eyes and waiting for him to answer.
Aiden held her hand and said, "Seraphina, the universe had thrown us into each other's part for a reason.” With clarity and assurance in his voice, Since the day I saw you, your kind heart and simplicity have given me so many reasons to love you.
"You've occupied my entire mind since you helped me from the accident, and I sensed a connection between us." As she got up and walked away,
Sera apologized and said, "I don't feel that way." Sera said as she stood up and left.
