Her Sweet Vengeance

Chapter 14.5

Chapter 14.5

Sometime later, a lot of people came inside the house. I was puzzled at first but when the Madame started to bark orders, I have known that it was the preparation for the wedding. There were ladies who took my body measurements for my gown and so is King. They took his body measurements for the tuxedo. I have heard that the gowns and such will be available two weeks from now.

“Come on now dear, choose the design of your gown.” She handed me qa brochure that was around three inches thick.

“But Ma’am…” my protest died when she fraantically waved her hand in front of me.

“Oh please, don’t call me Ma’am. It’s Mom now Miracle. Come on, please choose the design. This is one of your special days so you need too choose what’s the best for you.”

“Mom, you need not to do this okay? We will have a civil wedding,” says King. He closed the brochure and placed it in the circular glass table. He looked at his Mom in the eye.

“Why not a church wedding?” asked Mom puzzled. I know that she’s up for a grand wedding but we already have plans.

“You know that my Yana is still schooling right? It might affect her since it will be impossible to be in private. We will have another wedding once she graduates. Please let us be Mom. We are adults now aand is capable of handling anything. All we need is a wedding dress and simple tux which I already have one. I want our wedding to be solemn and private where only us – family and friends will be there. I already worked for the preparations okay? We have our reasons as to why we do this. I hope you understand Mom. Don’t pressure my fiance please. I don’t want her running away from the wedding because she will be shocked or overwhelmed…” I held King’s arm to stop him he looked at me and heaved a deep sigh. I know that he just wants to express his side but I think he will hurt Mom by doing that. The old woman just wants her son’s wedding too be the best so I can understand her too.

“M-mom, we are sorry to inform you but we will have the wedding the day after tomorrow. That’s what King wanted, that’s what we want to have for now. Please don’t be mad.” I was literally pleading and my voice was small but nonetheless audible. Mom smiled and placed her hand on mine.

“You are so kind and sweet. Oh it is okay Miracle. I am sorry to interfere your plans. I am just overwhelmed of the idea that my son will finally settle down. You know how grumpy can he go.” We laughed in unison as King glared on us.

“Look at him. He lis like a cute tiger who is ready to have his first pounce.”

“He is Mom.”

“Stop bullying my boy, ladies. The table is now ready. It is not good for the food to wait,” says Dad.

We all headed to the kitchen. Mom and Dad was sitting in fronnt of us. The maids started to place all the foods in the table.

“Wow son! You actually prepared for all my favorite foods. I am impressed. I can say that having a fiancee made you more affectionate huh?” Mom wriggled her eyebrow.

“Stop that Violet. Let our son change for the better.”

“I was just saying. Anyway, let’s just proceed to getting everything done with. We still have appointments later son. Miracle, please take care of my son for me okay? I think he listens to you more,” says Mom before she shoved a piece of steak on her mouth and she then drank the bloody red wine and wiped her mouth with the table napkin. Even the way she moves is so sophisticated. I think I still have a long way before I will be able to move like that.

After Mom and Dad went outside, I helped the maids in cleaning the table that they all wanted me to stop.

“Ma’am, I think Master will be mad at us.”

“Don’t mind him. I mmiss doing this. I really want to go back on being a server at the HM Café but he does no want me to. Now, he must not stop me from doing this.”

The maids did not have pretty much choice when I helped them but they did not let me wash the dishes. So I just went to our room to change my clothes. As I went out of the closet, I saw King entered the room. He was smiling brightly at me.

“Hey baby. I’ve got the wedding dress that I’ve ordered for you. I also get some accessories and a pair of sandals. Is this okay?”

“I think it will suit me. Because I know that before you bought them, you actually visualizzed me wearing them,” I joked. His face went beet red and so is his ears.

“Oh my gosh! Are you seriously blushing right now?” I teased him until such time he tackled and pinned me on our bed.

“You love teasing me don’t you? Cat got your tongue huh?” he teased back because I fell silent. I was just intentloy looking at him. His skin that is so fair. It looks poreless. His thick eyebros and long eyelashes that most women dies to have. He also has a pointed nose and pinkish lips that I know, never smoked nor drink liqour once. My eyes went down on his well defined jaws and his Adam’s apple that bobs up and down.

I gulped audibly as I extended my hand to touch his face. He leaned to my touch like a cute kitten who wants warmth from my hand. I cupped his face and I look at his expressive eyes.

“The universe must have conspired when they made you. You are not a human,” I said as I pouted.

“I’m not a human because? Do I look like an animal to you? Or an alien?” he asked with a frown.

“No. You look like one of the legendary gods from Mount Olympus who came here on Earth. Are you sure that you are not a demi-god?”

“Tss! You really love reading those books. Why? Am I that handsome?”

“Yes,” I answered honestly. He smiled and then he cupped my face too.

“You look like a goddess to me too Yana, just so you know.” He kissed my forehead and I can’t help but to close my eyes and sigh as I felt bliss from within.

“Do you… uhm, really like me?”

“I do. Just as when I laid my eyes on you that very night. Despite of the darkness of the surroundings, I was still captivated by your beauty. Even your eyes that never flickered with emotion, I still find them beautiful. You were breathtaking despite your puffy eyes and wild tangles. And I am blessed to see you everyday and got the chance to know you, take care of you and have you by my side. Before, my life was plain and boring. I always go to work from dawn to dusk. But you changed it. You are the reason why I often spend time at home and to love my bed more because I can cuddle with you. Your scent makes me want to close my eyes every single time that I inhale them and your voice soothes my weary soul. You hugs and smiles brings bliss to my system. You are indeed my Miracle. You saved me more than you think you did. You changed me into a better version of myself and I want to be the better man for you. If being the best will make you stay with me, then I am ready to do everything just to make sure that you won’t leave my side. I know that everything happened so fast but I want to remind you that everything from what I say and to what I feel is real. In no time, I think I will dive into a deeper and more complicated feeling but I am willing to try all possiblities knowing that you are the one who drives me to the edge.”

Nine o’clock in the morning. I already started to wear my wedding dress. It is a white dress with criss-cross strap made of beads. The dress is not fancy but it is beautiful. I looked at the mirror and I looked down at my rose gold sandals. My hair is made in French braid and it is adorned with white flowers and gold hair clips.

The makeup artist really did great in doing my makeup and hairdo. I am still here at our room while King is already downstairs. Yes! You concluded it right. We will held the wedding in the garden of the mansion. I heard a knock from my door and the wedding organizer came inside.

“Miss, it is now time,” said she. I nodded and I exhaled aloud trying to release the tension inside my chest. I held the bouquet of white roses and I started to walk towards the door. I passed to the red carpet of the grandstaircase and I exited on the front door.

I saw my friends who were seated on the benches, some unknown people – probably his friends and family members. I looked forward and I saw him. He smiled at me and take m hand as he guided me towards the raised platform where Attorney Tejero was. He is one of the godfather of King and he will be the one who will wed us today.

“Let us start the wedding,” he said. That was the time where everything seemed to blur for me. All I see is him, who keeps on holding my hand tight. I guess he is not listening to whatever the lawyer was saying.

“Do you, Havaianas Miracle Leeven, take King Spartan Racer as your husband?” asked the attorney.

“Yes, I do.”

“King Spartan Racer, do you take Havaianas Miracle Leeven as your wife?”

“I do.”

“Please wear your rings and say your vows.”

“I think we don’t need to say our vows out loud now. We will do it on our second wedding,” says King. Everyone in the venue laughed. He slipped the cold circular band on my finger and I did the same to him.

“By the power vested upon me by the State, I hereby declare you as husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride.”

I saw King who was slowly inching his face towards me. I closed my eyes and I felt the coldness of the wind. His hand held my jaw and I can hear my friends who were squealing in the background. The time seemed to stop when I felt his lips against mine in a chaste kiss for the second time of my life. I’ve heard nothing after that but brather, my heart beat. I fluttered my eyes open and I was mesmerized by his pair of orbs who seemed to connect to my soul.

Today indeed, is one of the memorable days of my life. I am married to the man who saved me and gave his all for me. Today, I am already a married lady. I am no longer Miss Havaianas Miracle Leeven but I am now Misis Havaianas Miracle L. Racer.

“You are my wife now,” he said breathlessly. “And I can’t still believe it,” he added.

“Well believe it now. You are my husband who is bound to me.”

“I’m more than happy to be bound to you.”
