36// wedding

Stella's pov

Today is the day was going to be Mrs. Roman Rodriguez. I had spent or forced to spent.... morning hours getting ready for the wedding.

Many professionals helped me with makeup. They fixed my hair too. The girl i was looking in reflection is not me.

"We will be heading out now. Do you need anything else?" One of them speak.

Yes. A gun.

"No" it was loud enough for her to listen.

"Ok then. Congratulations on your big day Mrs. Rodriguez." With that they all head outside.

I may have corrected her but, what's the point?

I looked outside from the window. When a knock disturb me.

"Uhmm!! Stella" he started.

"You look beautiful. Kiddo" he said.

"Thank you Spencer" I replied.

There was uncomfortable slience for few moments.

"Well..." He looked around and found the necklace lying in one of the box.

"You are not going to wear that" he gestured towards it.

"I wanted too...but the stylist decide it will look awful on me." I did ask her and she pointed that luxury will not suit a girl like me.

I know harsh. But true.

"Nonsense...here let me" he carefully secure the precious jewel on my neck.

"I know. This is not fair to you. But I can't stand against him." He said.

I let out the long breath which I don't know, i was holding in.

"But I can promise you one thing. I will kick his ass if he tries to hurt you." I know he was trying to lighten the tension in atmosphere.

I smiled.

"Thank you Spencer for everything." He nod and we leave the room.

I started walking towards the alter. A long veil covered my face and my hand
Rested on Spencer's arm as per the coustom. He was holding my hand bit to tightly.

Is he afraid I will run way?

Or did he fear about my future in this world?

Or was assuring me everything will be fine?

The venue was looking astounding but I bet this even leave any dent on his money. The music on other hand was making me nervous.

It was hard to look at the devil who was standing at the end of alter.

We reached at alter where the great Roman Rodriguez was waiting. I started to think what will he do when he found out my reality.

The ceremony started. Rose was standing a bit close to me while Lizzie was looking here & there. Why Lizzie? You wanted this right?

The priest started the ceremony. During the entire ceremony Roman was staring me. He almost pinch my waist when I couldn't reply.

Finally we took our vows and the priest asked him to lift the veil. The moment I had fear the most has arrived.

Roman lifted my veil taking one step closer to me. I kept my head down like I did something terribly wrong. His hand tucked my chin up. My heartbeat was going crazy & the worst part was I couldn't even control it.

I finally looked up and all my eyes could see was anger in his eyes. Now, what I have done wrong.

"You may kiss the bride now." The priest repeated. His expression changed his anger was replaced by some other emotion which I could not decipher.
