CHAPTER 2

  No, I don’t. I said looking directly into his eyes.   Everyone gasps in awe.   What!! Peter said.   But, why? He asked.   Why? Yeah, that is actually a smart question, I turned to look at everyone in the church to address them with teary eyes.   Good day everyone, I know some of us here must be wondering if I’m in my right senses, or maybe if I’m sick, but the truth is I’ve never been more well, and yes, you are all right for one, I’m not in my right senses.   You know, all my life as a kid and in my career as a model, I’ve always functioned on these six senses, sight, touch, smell, hearing, feel and the one I recently added which is my thoughts, that’s if its among the human sense organ, I feigned a smile.   I’ve never really done anything without critically thinking about it first, but as they say, it’s always good to embrace change as it is the only thing that is constant in life.   And now, here I am, for the very first time in my life, doing something without thinking. This man standing right in front of me is supposed to be the love of my life, my ride or die, the man I’m supposed to spend the rest of my life with, I said as my eyes became more moistened.   It was so beautiful what we shared together, until I found out that I was making a big mistake in wanting to get married to him.   You know, just this morning, while I was getting ready for my big day, I got a message from an unknown number.   When I opened my phone to check the content of the message, lo and behold, it was my precious man here in bed with my best friend!!! I yelled now allowing the tears to flow freely.   The congregation gasped, yet again surprised by my confession as mumbling filled the air.   I looked at Peter and noticed he was already shaking, wishing the ground should just open and close with him in it.   He tried to hold me, but I jerked my hands off him and said ‘ get your filthy hands off me, you betrayer, I trusted, respected and cherished you even before this day that I was supposed to say it publicly, but what did I get in return?   He was silent for a moment.   I’ll tell you, all I got from you was betrayal, misery, and dejections. As for your mistress, my best friend, I don’t even know if I should be angry or thankful to her for exposing your true identity.   I know that she must be watching this somewhere, as this event right now is being streamed live on every platform i********:, twitter, YouTube, you name them. This is to make sure that no other woman falls for your dead charms just as I stupidly did.   I’m letting you go, you can continue your secret relationship which is no longer a secret with your mistress. And to you Sasha, don’t think that you are not going to receive your own share of your punishment for betraying me, because as we speak those nudes you sent me are flying everywhere on the internet.   I smiled menacingly, oh, so you thought I’ll let you go free? Newsflash dear, that’s not happening. Also, a quick reminder, don’t forget that your body parts were the most protruded in the pictures you sent me.   I did all these before coming to the church for my wedding just so I can ask for God’s forgiveness after. Well planned, right? I know he’s going to forgive me, right priest? I asked and he nodded his head slowly, unsure of what he was agreeing to.   Oh, my bad, you all might be thinking that you have just wasted your time coming here, thinking any wedding isn’t going to hold.   Well, I want to tell you that there’s going to be a wedding and we shall go on with the ceremony.   Every agenda on this list will be held except for the fact that you will attend a reception without the couples. Crazy, right? But just take that as my way of apologizing for your traveling from your comfort zone for those persons coming from different parts of the world.   Now, you may ask, if the ceremony is going to hold, and there’s going to be a wedding, then, with whom? When the groom is a total disgrace.   I’ll answer all your questions in a bit. Definitely I’m not going into a marriage with a man who cheats, who knows what other things he is capable of when we get married.   A question I asked myself immediately I got those pictures and the message. At first I was scared of losing him if I canceled this wedding, but then, I remembered who I am and what I’ve done to attain the level I am right now, I thought, who needs a loser like him in her life.   Like I said earlier, I’m taking this bold step for the first time without thinking of its implications, so whatever decision I make now is what I know would be best for me.   So today, I’m going to be getting married to…… I looked around the congregation, scrutinizing for who to select randomly as my groom. I stepped down from the altar to enhance my search. Still not satisfied, I kept on looking, I turned forward facing the priest when my eyes met with a handsome, charming, and cool looking guy standing behind Peter.   He wore an expensive tuxedo with his long curly hair packed in a messy bun at his back, looking more charming and attractive than Peter himself. I took my walk down the aisle again, this time slowly and majestically, smiling and grinning from ear to ear feeling satisfied and accomplished.   This would serve as a great revenge, I murmured.   When I got close to him, I said…. You…. Yes, you I said, pointing at him, you in a cute black tuxedo, I’ll marry you. You will make a perfect groom.   I said, making everyone stunned.
