The Bride He Did Not Wanted
The wedding hall was beautifully decorated with red and white roses. Everyone was dressed elegantly. When it was time for the entry of the Bride, a girl wearing a beautiful white dress entered the aisle. Everyone looked at her. She looked innocent, but scared at the same time, and she was looking beautiful and her gown, which is not expensive, as we can say. The groom did not even look at her. Everyone clapped as she walked in as beautiful music played. Her Uncle was walking beside her. He offered his hand to the groom, then stood at the side. The groom held her hand and that was the first time he'd looked at her. She looked scared and yet so quiet. At the same time, they looked at each other. They had eye contact for a second. That's when the room noticed the bride's eyes were red and looked like she had been crying. And the bride noticed that maybe the anger in the gloom's eyes couldn't say anything. Both looked away. Introduction This is the wedding of the CEO of Sinclair Corporation, a business company that is famous worldwide for its biggest contracts and strict rules. His name is Ethan Cole Sinclair. He is known for his cold nature, as he has almost never had any dating rumors about anything. People even assume that he is not interested in getting married ever, and it was true he did not want to get married because, for him, marriage was a distraction. It was a waste of time, a time that he thought he should use for his company to make more money to get richer and richer. Even though he's already one of the richest men in the world, the rumors said that all he could think about was making more and more money for him. The bride here is Jennifer Alice Monroy, the daughter of Monroe’s. Her parents died a long time ago. Now she lives with her uncle and aunt. Her uncle is the one who just walked her through the aisle. Her Uncle, Mr Jackson, loved Jennifer so much he loved her like his own daughter. He did have a daughter named Alice, but right now Jennifer is being forced to get married. Her eyes, so dreaded, meant she cried. She looked scared and uncomfortable. If he loved her that much, then what happened? A week ago Nighttime at 10:00 PM Jennifer was sleeping in her room when she suddenly heard a voice like someone was walking through the corridor. Their house isn't that large. That's why she could hear that voice very clearly. She woke up from her bed and walked outside. She saw a guy. He was holding a bouquet of roses and a gift. The guy was standing in the dark. Jennifer thought of him as an intruder and screamed. Soon her uncle and aunt came to the scene and both saw that guy and began questioning him. His uncle held the guy's collar, punched him and then asked, Who are you? What are you doing in my house? The guy looked scared. He looked around, not knowing what to say. Jennifer followed his eyes and he was looking at Alice. Today was Alec's birthday. Alice looked so scared. She looked at his eyes and shook her head, signaling not to say anything. The boy was panicked because Mr Jackson was forcing him to Where did he come from? Who was he? Why was he at his house at that time of the day? So, all of a sudden, that guy pointed towards Jennifer and said: "I'm coming to meet her. She's my girlfriend." Jennifer looked shocked. She refused: "I don't know him. I don't know who he is. He is lying. Trust me, I've never seen this guy before." Mrs Jackson: "I knew it was for you. I knew you would do something to ashamed our family." She came holding Jennifer abruptly and shaking her, and shouted at her that she had done something very terrible. Mrs Jackson: "How could you do that? We gave you shelter. We give you food, we make you have good studies and all you did in return Was THIS? Calling a guy at midnight in our house. What do you want to do with him? You ****" Mr Jackson came close to Jennifer and asked her politely, You know this guy? Don't lie to me. Jennifer: "Uncle, please trust me. I don't know him. I had never seen him before. Why would I lie to you?" Mr Jackson: "Then why is he taking your name? Why is he saying that he knows you? How did he know your name then?" Jennifer: "I don't know, I have no idea, but I swear I've never seen this guy before in my life." Mrs Jackson: "You i***t, you think you could lie in our faces. He's clearly saying that you are his girlfriend, which means you have been sleeping with him. How long this has been going on under our noses." Jennifer: "Auntie, trust me, please, I do not know him." Mr Jackson punched the guy again.who the hell are you? My niece just said that she did not know you. Now tell me who the hell you are. Why are you lying? Who called you to my house? They all looked at the flowers and the gift that he had bought. Mrs Jackson was so sure that the guy had come to meet Jennifer, and she was very furious at that. She did not even want to hear anything else, but Mr Jackson was clear that Jennifer was not lying and wanted to know the truth about what was happening. Jennifer noticed the gift that read Happy Birthday so she said in a low, scary voice. The gift says Happy birthday. My birthday is not today, but Alice's— Mrs Jackson got furious towards Jennifer and slapped her. "What the hell you're saying what do you think you're doing? You are a **** yourself, and now you're blaming that on my daughter. My Alice would never do anything like that. I have raised her. It's you who have dirty blood in her. It's you, not my daughter." Jennifer's eyes filled with tears. She couldn't say anything. She looked towards Mr Jackson for him to believe her, but he did not say anything. Maybe he also didn't believe Jennifer, or maybe he did not think of Jennifer as his real daughter as he says, and he did not want to blame his real daughter, that's why. When all of this was happening, the guy got the chance, and he ran away. Mr Jackson tried to catch him, but he ran away as fast as he could. Soon they heard a bike rolling out of the street. Mrs Jackson kept blaming Jennifer by calling her name. She was furious that Jennifer would think that Alice would do something like that, and she was so certain that it was Jennifer who did all of this who called that guy, and she must have called the guy before as well, and they didn't know about it. Mrs Jackson kept blaming Jennifer and Mr Jackson. He did not say anything to Jennifer, but he did not deny anything either. He just stood there hearing everything, not taking Jennifer's side, not stopping his wife, not asking Alice anything, he just stood there like he somehow, somewhere in his heart, agreed with what his wife was saying. Two days later Those two days, when Jennifer was house for Mrs Jackson, it was like she finally got the chance where she could get all the anger out on Jennifer. She wouldn't even last one second to insult Jennifer nowadays, shouting at her. She and her husband paid for Jennifer's education. How they paid for her clothes, how they let her stay in their house when she would have been sent to an orphanage years ago. That would make Jennifer cry. And Mr Jackson wouldn't say anything. He has become a statue since that night. The guy who used to show love and care was now not uttering a word. Suddenly, at night, Mr Jackson called everyone in the living room and said Jennifer. "There is a marriage proposal for you. It's from one of my friend's sons. It's a very good family. He has been a friend of mine since childhood. We know each other very well. They are a well-respected family. I believe you would be happy there." Mrs Jennifer and Alice were as shocked as Jennifer. Mrs Jackson: "What proposal? Why don't you say anything to me? What family is it from, what does the guy do?" Mr Jackson: "It's from Sinclair's. Mrs Jackson: "The Sinclair's? One of the richest families and you're talking about their only son, Ethan. How come you never told me that Mr Ambrose is your friend? We could have used that for a better proposal for our Alice." Mr Jackson: And that's why I didn't tell you. Alice is a little girl. She and Ethan have a lot of age gaps. Jennifer is 27, Ethan is 29. They would be a better match for each other." Mrs Jackson: "Alice is nineteen years old, age is just a number. Look how wealthy they are. I mean our daughter would have been happier there. You should have discussed this with me." Mr Jackson: Jennifer is my daughter too. She is my responsibility. I'm doing my best for her. I will tell them to come and see Jennifer and Jennifer. I hope you will never disappoint me. Those words: "You will never disappoint me" clearly meant that, Jennifer, you have to get married. I'm telling you that you have to get married, and she understood that she had to, that she couldn't say no, that it was not her choice anymore, so she just sat quiet letting everything happen to her. While Mrs Jackson was so furious that she couldn't get that proposal for Alice, even though Alice was just a kid now, it seemed like she didn't care about that. All she cared about was a valid, rich family that now Jennifer was going to have. Next evening Mr and Mrs. Ambrose were sitting in the living room waiting for Jennifer to come soon. Holding a cup of tea, she served them and then sat quietly on a chair, looking at the ground. Mrs Ambrose smiled softly and asked Jennifer: "How are you doing, dear? That's when Jennifer finally looked up. They looked very rich. They were all so well-dressed and Ethan was sitting so cold and composed that Jennifer looked almost scared. Both families talked to each other for a while. Most of the time, Mr Jackson and Mr and Mrs Ambrose were the only ones talking, while Jennifer and Ethan were sitting quietly, one who looked scared and one who looked scary. Soon after dinner, the Sinclair family were about to leave. Their relationship was finally fixed. They both agreed to skip the engagement and directly do the marriage, as Ethan had to go out of the country as he was expanding his business in a new country and Mr Jackson said that he did not have any problem with hurrying the marriage. All this time, Ethan had just introduced himself and the rest of his father and mother spoke. Before going, Ethan asked for one thing: "Jennifer, can I have your number?" Mr Jackson smiled: "Of course you can. You're going to get married soon. Jennifer gave him her number and they went away." At 1:00 AM, Jennifer received a text from an unknown number: "I do not want to get married. You can say No." Jennifer stared at the text. She knew who sent it. There was a silence. If the text had sent it to her a few days ago, then maybe she would be able to say no. But now everything has changed. Her uncle is changed. She had to get married. She does not have any choice. So she replied: "I'm sorry, but I cannot deny it." A reply came back: "Don't say later that I did not give you a chance to deny. Do not expect anything from me. I don't believe in love. All I want in my life is to do as much work as I can and earn as much as I can. I only love my work, so don't complain when I don't give you attention. When I don't talk to you, you should know what you're getting yourself into. Jennifer smiled sadly at the text. She stared at it for a while before replying: "I will keep that in mind. I will not have any expectations from you. You can live your life as you are right now, focusing entirely on everything. I won't say a word." The chat went quiet. None of them said anything again. Meanwhile, at Ethan's house(as soon as they reached home), Ethan: "Dad, I told you I did not want to get married. Why did you say yes to that proposal? You know I do not have time for all this. It's hectic. I won't be able to focus on my work as I used to." Mr and Mrs Ambrose: "Ethan, marriage is a part of life. You cannot just work your whole life. You should be at ease. You should feel love if you have a wife. She'll take care of you. You fell in love with her. We will feel happy Ethan. Maybe you can get away with this strict work routine of yours." Ethan: "Dad, Mom, you know that's not going to happen. Nothing can change me." Mr and Mrs Ambrose: "Ethon, you can not devote your whole life to earning more and more money you have earned enough Just because of what happened to Noah, we all loved him as you did, but you don't have to — " Ethan: "Mom enough, I do not want to talk about that." At 12:30 AM, Ethan comes out of his room. When he looked in the living room, his parents were there. His dad looked stressed, he stood there and just and listened to what they were talking about, Mr Ambrose: "I'm so worried about Ethan. I don't know what he would do without us. We're not going to be with him all the time, and he will just focus on his work. He doesn't even take breaks. Sometimes he forgets to have his food. Don't get proper rest . . . I am worried about him. After losing my one son, I don't want to lose him. Mrs Ambrose: "I know I am worried too, but don't think so much you'll get your BP high. You need to have your medicine. You should take a rest now it's getting late." Ethan heard everything about that. He stood there listening and realized his parents were not forcing him because they wanted him to get married. They just wanted him to be happy to be with someone that they could trust, so they would be at ease that Ethan would not be alone after them. So he went back to his room, took out that number and texted Jennifer and said not to expect anything from him. He asked Jennifer Seem to agree with him. He finally said yes to this marriage. Back at the aisle Mr Jackson: "Ethan, please take care of my Niece." Ethan gave a polite nod Soon the ceremony started. Priest: "Do you, Ethan Cole Sinclair? Take Jennifer Alice Monroe as you are lawfully buried wife, in richer and poorer and sickness and health and happiness and sorrow. The whole aisle was quiet. People were waiting for Ethan's answer. He didn't say anything while he was looking at Jennifer, and he kept squeezing her hand to the point that she hissed in pain. That's when he came out of his thoughts and said: "I do." He said this with the straightest face. None of them could understand the emotions and then The priest asked again: "Do you, Jennifer Alice Monroe, take Ethan Cole Sinclair as your lawfully wedded husband from richer to poorer in sickness and health and happiness and sorrow? The aisle was quiet once again. Jennifer looked towards her uncle. Mr Jackson, who was standing a few steps away. At that time, somehow in her heart. Jennifer was expecting her uncle to say something to say maybe "you don't have to get married if you don't want to. Maybe say that I believe you, that you didn't do anything wrong." But he did not say anything. Instead, when Jennifer kept looking at him, he nodded his head, signaling Jennifer to say Yes. That hurt a lot in her heart. She looked back at her hands. One hand was still in Ethan's hand, and she closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, "I do." The hall filled with clapping. Everyone congratulated them. The flower petals that were arranged by the designer fell on both of them. Soon the priest said, To the groom, "you may kiss the bride now." Ethan and Jennifer were already looking at each other. They both had eye contact once again. Ethan leaned towards her ear as he was about to kiss her cheek or something, but instead he said, "You knew I didn't want to get married. I hope you know what's coming." He took a step back. They both looked at each other again. Soon, the media arrived to take a picture of a newly wedded couple. When the media arrived, Ethan held Jennifer's waist and whispered a smile to me. The camera flashes on their faces. Hundreds of pictures were taken. Breaking News Mr Ethan Cole Sinclair, the CEO of the Sinclair corporation, the one who is known for not having any relationships, when he surprised us with his wedding. Yes, Mr Ethan is married to Jennifer Alice Monroy, a girl from an ordinary family. We got to know that her uncle had been a friend of Mr Sinclair since childhood. We're so happy for them. Wish them a happy married life. Jennifer noticed her uncle, Aunt and Alice left without even saying goodbye to her. Jennifer stood there beside Ethan, smiling for the media. She thought about what she had gotten herself into what she was going to do. Her previous family was gone now, and now she has to live with a person who did not want to marry, who did not want a wife. How is she going to stay? But she does not have any other choice yet to accept . . .
