The Charming Prince

Chapter 25: The wedding ||💍🔔💒

A/n: I just published the first chapter of my second book. I have other books I'm writing, but we'll take it slow. Check it out, it's a short story so it won't take much of your time.

Leo's pov

It was time for the bride to walk down the aisle.

I looked confused as I saw her walking down with her best friend.

she was wearing her veil so I couldn't see her face. I did see her dress though.
It has a thigh high slit. I can tell it has pockets too 'cause she has one of her hands in a pocket and the other is holding the bouquet. She looks..... s!xy, a little.

  I see we've upgraded to a new word.

  I really hope that annoying voice goes away soon.

I walked up to them when they we're almost here and took Mira's hand in mine. Tara brought  my head to her and whispered in my ear,

"if you ever hurt her. we'll meet in hell"  she pulled back and put on a fake smile.

"we'll  see about that"  was all I said as I held Mira's hand and walked to the priest. I noticed people giving weird looks, probably because her father didn't walk her down the aisle.

I removed her veil, and anger seethed through me. Her eyes were swollen and a little bit red. Like she had been crying. she tried to put on a little smile, but failed miserably. She's just like Bri, trying to hide her pain but always failing.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today..." the priest brought me out of my thoughts.

"Do you Mira Tasset, take Leo Argent to be your lawfully wedded husband. In rich and poor, sickness and in health, till death do you part? "He asked her and she looked me in the eyes and said "I do"

He asked me the same thing and I said 'I do'.

"I Now Pronounce You husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride" he said, before leaving our presence. I leaned in and noticed scared look on her face
" just play along"I said,  before placing my thumb on her lips and kissing my thumb, instead of her lips. Of course the people behind us didn't notice.

I backed away to again meet her red eyes. All the anger returned to me. Why the hell was she crying? I hate seeing women cry. Anger seemed to rise in me and it's directed at the cause of her tears.

I put her veil over her face to prevent people from seeing her. I took her hand in mine and dragged her along with me, planning on heading out of the house, when my mum stopped us.

"Where are you going?"

"Mira isn't feeling to good" it's not like I'm lying, she's obviously not fine.

" Oh, what's wrong Mira" she just looked down" mir-"

" Look at the time, I'm sure she needs sleep, so we'll get going" I said as I left her presence. I heard her calling behind me but pretended not to.

We got out and I stopped when we were in front of my car.

" Why are you crying?" I said, letting her hand go.

" I'm not"I clenched my fists

" Why are you crying?"I repeated.

"I said I'm not. It's nothing...I'm fine" she sounded like she was trying to convince herself, not me.

"Then why don't you look fine" I said as I removed the veil again.

"It's none of your business" she turned her head to face the car.

"You're my wife now"

"So?" She said looking at me with tear filled eyes. Like she's been holding it in.
I watched as one tear dropped. I lifted my hand to wipe it off but she was faster.
I placed my hands in my pockets and prayed that she didn't notice my action.

"Why isn't anything going as planned today, why?"

"Is this because of your father?" She scoffed.

" I wish it wasn't" she looked at me as another tear escaped. Followed by another, and another.....

I walked up to her till her head rested on my chest, with my hands still in my pockets.

" What are you doing?" She asked me. Even I don't know what I'm doing.

" Cry all you want. I'm the only one here" she looked around for a while before placing her forehead on my chest and crying her heart out.

They're so cute...so cute
#lira. Sticking to the nick name

FF: Tasset probably isn't a real name. While I was coming up with the names it just popped up in my mind. I've never seen it before

Check out my second book, The invisible wounds (unknown secret).
