Second Chance

The Wedding

Harry came back in the middle of the night, he was drunk. The maids who were awake attempt to help him but Sonia who had been waiting for him stopped them instantly.

"No need to help him, I will do it" she said.

The maids looked at her suspiciously but left him quickly. They were a little curious to know the relationship between Sonia and Harry but they dare not tell anyone.

Harry was not aware that he was with Sonia because he was deadly drunk.
Sonia didn't want to take him to his room because she didn't like him sleeping beside Sylvia especially now that he was drunk. She couldn't help but feel irritated.

"Come here, Harry" she said putting his hand over her shoulder and holding his waist firmly taking him to her room.

"Sylvia?..." He said running his hand through his hair trying hard to get himself.

Sonia face darkened instantly .That Sylvia, she had really brainwashed him.

"No it's not Sylvia, it is me, Sonia"

Pushing her away, he said:

"I want Sylvia!"

She hit her butt hard on the floor.

"Ouch!" She winced in pain.

"Don't come close to me!"

Her face sank after hearing those words.

"Was he really falling for Sylvia? I won't let that happen! You loved me first!" She thought.

He mentioned Sylvia's name again as he held his head tight.

Sonia dark face fade away and it remained a pity face. She pitied him.
Then she turned determined.

"I would have Harry tonight before that wretch marries him" she thought.

Then she pulled him into her room quickly because her room was close.

Sonia chuckled and said:

"You're mine tonight"

And the deed happened.

Well, Sylvia was sleeping peacefully in her room unaware of what was going on between her future husband and her stepsister.

______________________

The next morning, Harry woke up late. He couldn't remember a thing that happened last night.

Looking at her bare body that was half covered with the quilt, he roughly guessed what happened. Disappointed, he wished it could be Sylvia that he had last night. He couldn't help but to compare Sylvia and Sonia. Sylvia's beauty was much more feminine. He never loved Sonia.

"Carlos has a good taste" he thought.
He wasn't really looking forward to give up Sylvia. He quickly trashed the thought, all he wanted was to take the position of the king of Mafia.

Sonia woke up smiling but Harry face darkened. She tried to kiss him but he dodged it.

"What is wrong?"

"You shouldn't have done that last night!"

"Why? Don't you want me?" she said with sadly.

"Alright, but don't let this happen again"

She slowly nodded reluctantly.
Checking his phone, he saw numerous missed calls from everyone.
Oh no! He is late for his wedding!

"Shit! I'm late" he yelled.

Quickly, he jumped from the bed as he had a quick shower. He left Sonia's room in a stealthy manner so he will not get caught.

In the other room, Sylvia was done dressing. She looked more feminine and angelic. The make up artists couldn't stop praising her.

"You're so beautiful, just like your mother"

"You know her?"

"Yes, Miss Chavez, we were classmates during college"

"It's such a pity she is not with me" Sylvia said.

"Oh! this's so emotional, don't spoil your make up"

Mr. Chavez, Sylvia's father came in looking youthful in his grey suit.

"Can you give the father and daughter some quality time" Mr.Chavez asked.

"Alright"

The make up artist excused herself.

"Today is your wedding, I'm happy for you, anytime I look at you I just remember your mother's face. Guilt eats me up each day I see you.
Forgive your father for the past! Those were the days of ignorance. I'm really sorry. Be a good wife " Mr.Chavez said.

"Don't worry about me I will do my best as a wife and about mum she might have forgive you"

"Just like your mother! May we?" He said slowly.

"Of course!" She replied as the father and daughter pair hooked their arms.
Sylvia wondered where was Harry but with her father's calm expression. It seems like Harry was waiting for her.

Wedding Venue

Sonia was dressed in  floral tiara looking more fierce and her make up was thick. Claudine was dressed in a peach color gown looking lively.

It was a simple wedding and not many people were invited but many people came most especially Sylvia's classmates. They wanted to see the laughing stock of their school.

A simple music started playing in the background making the atmosphere lighter. The flower girls walked.

The music changed into something more pleasant as the father and daughter hooked arms and walked down the aisle. Harry opened his eyes wide, she looked enthralling and breathtaking.

Kelvin who was beside Arthur said:

"What a waste he is giving her up to that old man"

"Yeah, she is really beautiful"

Mr, Chavez placed her hand on his and he simply said:

"Take good care of her"

"Of course I will"

"So beautiful".

"And you are looking handsome"

They chuckled lightly as it was time to take their vows.

In Sylvia's mind she wished it was Carlos she got married to but things changed.

They took their vows and exchanged rings.
Soon it was time to kiss.

As he kissed her, people cheered and felt it was romantic as Sylvia felt the urge to spit. Sonia smiled dryly but beneath her, she was furious.
Happy people threw flowers on them to celebrate them as someone outside was burning with fury.
