“You know you don’t have to do this Carly.”
“I have to Star.”
“No you don’t, run away. I’ll cover for you.”
“You can't do that for me, Star.”
“I can. And I will.”
“I know you will. But, I can’t pull you into this bullshit.”
“I’m your best friend, that's what best friends do. Take your chance and leave. I’ll cover for you.”
“I can’t Star, he’ll find me.”
“You deserve better, Carly, he doesn't deserve you.”
“I know. But, I’m doing this for our baby. I don't even come into this.”
“You do, but you’ll never believe me. I just hope you know what you’re doing.”
“I do.” I say as she finishes fastening me up.
The door opens and my Mom enters. She smiles brightly. “It’s time honey.”
I nod and we make our way out of the room.
“You look beautiful honey, I can’t believe my baby is getting married.”
“No tears mom, you'll set me off.”
“She’s right Mrs. K. Save them until after the speeches.” Star says with a fake smile.
“I'll try.”
We headed to the large ball room where everyone was waiting. We decided to have the wedding in a castle. It was all Ethan’s idea; he wanted it to be authentic, a day to remember if only I would remember it the way he would.
We reached the aisle and the music began to play. I swallowed hard knowing my decision would haunt me until death do us part.
Ethan
I’m so nervous today. I'm finally going to marry the love of my life. I've been in life with Carly since camp. I may have hated her guts for my father loving her mother, but I realised that it was my father and his selfish feelings for her mother that made me feel the way I did; neglected and unloved. I fell harder when she stuck up for me in front of my father at that s**t show of a dinner. Her step father was nowhere in sight. I guess he hated my father as much as I did. Kept in touch with Carly when I was in Africa. Those were some of the worst times of my life. I know I wasn’t the only one who suffered some type of PTSD. But I managed to hide mine a lot better than some of my comrades.
I never would’ve guessed in a million years that Carly would choose those two dimwits so I decided that I had to put an end to it all no matter what it took. And I knew it was our wedding day. The best day of my life, well the second the first was finding out that the life of my life was carrying my child. No one knew she was expecting as she was only a few months gone and she wouldn’t be showing for a few more. I paced back and forth in the room wondering what Carly was doing and what she looked like in her wedding dress.
“Stop pacing Ethan, you'll wear a hole in the floor.”
I glared at Caspian. I remembered him and how nervous he was when he was getting married to Star. He was so nervous that he almost vomited. I hadn’t been able to make it for his wedding but had got there for the reception to see Carly before I had to go on my last and final deployment.
I managed to get her to work for me then eventually got her to leave those two dimwits for me. Who in the world would want two men at the same time? No man I knew would ever share their woman with someone else no matter how close they were. And they were close, Carly had no idea how close so I used it against them to bring her to me. And it worked. So well we’re getting married today.
”I remember when you married Star you were that nervous you almost threw up.”
He glared at me and Conrad grinned clearly enjoying the show. “Shut up.”
I grinned. “So who did you bring as your plus one Con?”
He swallowed. “No one. I couldn't find anyone to come.”
“Wow the great Conrad Donnington without a date? That’s a first.”
He smiles tightly. I haven’t seen him so tightly wound as he is today.
A knock at the door stopped all conversation. Caspian opened the door and a man in a hotel suit was standing there. “Everything is ready sir you all need to go down stairs and wait for the bride to arrive.”
“Thank you.”
He nods and walks away. Capa Ona sn Conrad clap my back. “Its finally time Ethan you’re going to get married.”
“I am, aren't I?” I smiled before walking out the room and heading to the room that had turned into a seething of a luxurious chapel with flowers hanging from the ceiling and on pedestals as we walked down the aisle. We greeted the guests before we made our way up to the front and stood in front of the vicar.
Carly
The music changes on the organ to the wedding march and my never are shattered. Star is standing behind me and Jaz behind her; my matron of Honor and my chief bridesmaid. My cousins are the other bridesmaids and flower girls.
Ethan is waiting for me at the top of the isle, I swallow hard. My dad takes over for my mom who stands on my family's side of the church.
Ethan looks as nervous as I am when we are in front of the church.
“You look beautiful.”
I give him a short smile. Then the vicar begins “Welcome dearly beloved, we are gathered together to welcome and bless Calry Evans and Ethan Hollingway in holy matrimony. If anyone present disagrees with Carly and Ethan being joined in holy matrimony please speak up or forever hold your peace.”
The room is silent. The vicar nods toward us and opens his mouth to begin our vows as the doors burst open and three males run in. “I object.” They say in sync out of breath.
WTAF?
What the hell are they all doing here? My heart is hammering into my chest and I feel as if I’m going to pass out. What are they even here? Ethan is going to think I set this up not to marry him. If only. I haven’t seen the three of them for a long time. Ethan was in prison where he should’ve never been in the first f*****g place. I haven’t seen Aiden since the day he shoved his new girl in my face then there’s Kaden, my so-called brother who I haven’t spoken to since the day I went to uni. He made it quite clear we weren’t brother and sister anymore which stung a lot.
“And why do you all object? Please remember your objection has to be valid.
“I love her.” They all say at the same time.
Oh my god kill me now, this can’t be happening I have to act fast or Ethan will think I told them to come here and ruin his perfect f*****g day, his perfect f*****g wedding. I did the only thing I could think of: dismiss them in the most horrible way I possibly could. The hurt on their faces as if I’d slapped them with the most hurtful words I could. They all went on their way and the wedding continued. I knew I was going to get it when Ethan and I were alone.
Ethan and I exchanged our vows as if nothing had happened, we then had our photos taken and went to the reception at the hotel around fifteen minutes away for our reception. I was dreading what would happen once it was over.
Ethan
If Carly hadn't sent those no hopers away I would’ve who the hell do they think they are ruining my day?! I just hope that Carly didn’t invite them to ruin it for me, she knew how much I wanted this wedding and if it was all a ploy to stop it and run she had another thing coming she would never ever get away from me! I would make sure of it. Till death do us part.
The wedding despite the hiccup went off without another hitch and we all went to the bar so they could get the room ready for the reception supper then after it would be transformed into a disco area.
We cut the cake and had the bride and groom dance. I held Carly close. “I hope it wasn’t your plan to use those idiots to stop me from marrying you.”
“If I had I wouldn't have sent them away."
“It could have all been just a ruse and they could be waiting for the resection to end so they could take you.”
“Think what you like Ethan but I know the truth.”
“I will.” The music changed, then the father and daughter danced.
The evening went extremely well around two am. I took Carly’s hand and led her out of the reception. There were only a few that were staying overnight; some had already left to go home. I grabbed the key to our room off the hotel receptionist and we went to our room. I closed and locked the door behind us after leaving a do not disturb notice hooked onto the door knob.
I pushed her against the door looking coldly into her eyes. “I hope you were lying to me Carly.”
“I would never lie to you.”
“Good.” I smashed my lips onto her, kissing her hard and hungrily with tongue.
She found it hard to breathe as I ravished her lips with mine. I unzipped her dress and it pooled around her legs. She stepped out of it and I continued kissing her aggressively. No doubt her lips were bleeding from how hard I was kissing her but I didn’t care she needed to know no one would ever take her away from me. I shredded my clothes off and ripped her bra and panties off massaging them with my hands sliding my hand down into her folded finger f*****g her whilst pinching her n*****s. I was so f*****g hard I couldn’t wait to f**k her as my wife and the mother of my child. I rubbed on her c**t making her moan. I took my fingers out of her and grabbed her leg holding it up ramming inside her moving grabbed on her other leg and wrapping it around me as I continue fuckiong her hard against the door. I f****d her hard and fast her moans came out at pants and a scream as I came inside her. I carried her over to the bed laying her down continuing to f**k her.
