Versailles Series Book 9: The Lawyer [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 74

H E R A

I shook my hands as I stared at myself in the mirror. It's my wedding day and we are getting married here at Versailles Leisure Club, at the Wallflower's labyrinth where he proposed to me a few months back.

Laurent Llamanzares' made headlines with one of the hottest bachelors now off the market. Speculations include that his twin — Lawrence Llamanzares, will be settling down too. One of the surprises, as the news sites call it, was me — the Annulment Queen was settling down. While everybody made fun of the irony of that, we just shrugged it off as we did the wedding preparations.

Enteng surprised me because I thought he wouldn't be hands-on with the wedding preparations. Turns out, he knew what he wanted even if the last say was me. This is a wedding that both of us organised and I am nothing but ecstatic right now.

"Ang ganda mo, anak."

Nginitian ko si Nanay na nakatunghay sa akin. Nakasuot ito ng terno na bumagay rito. Si Tatay naman ay nakabarong. I was wearing a Grecian wedding gown inspired by the Greek goddess Hera and was designed by Marceline.

"Salamat po, Nanay."

"Hindi na ako mag-aalala ngayon na tatanda kang mag-isa, anak. Meron ka ng kasama at mahal na mahal ka niya."

Tumango ako. "Maswerte po ako, Nay."

"Aba, maswerte din ang batang iyon at ang napakaganda kong anak ang mapapangasawa niya."

Natawa ako ng bahagya. "Opo."

Pumasok si Diosa at Savannah na siyang maids-of-honor ko. "We're ready when you are."

I nodded and all of us went out of the room and made our way down to the courtyard of the Wallflower. The club is closed to other guests right now for our wedding. Carrie was too happy to give us the venue free of charge and told me it was her wedding gift for me on top of the all-expense paid trip to our country of choice.

My hands held on my bouquet tightly as a sheer curtain hid me from everyone's view. The piano melody changed and the curtain started to part. My parents were on my side as they walked me down the aisle. I saw familiar faces, primarily the members of the club, people from our workplaces, and family members. Yes, even my annoying relatives who kept pestering me about getting married. I specifically looked for that annoying cousin of mine and raised my eyebrows as I passed down her row. Bitch.

"Hindi ka ba nalilito sa kanila, anak?" Bulong ng tatay ko habang tinitignan si Enteng at Enchong na magkatabi sa may altar.

"Hindi, Tay. Ang layo kaya nila."

Ngumiti lang ito. Naalala ko nang una nilang makilala si Enchong ay ilang beses na nagkamali ang mga magulang ko sa kambal. I guess my heart just knows who is who.

My eyes finally found the dashing prince waiting for me. Beside him were Enchong and Damon who were his best men. His eyes were just on me as we got to the altar, even when my father transferred my hand to his.

"You're the most beautiful bride I have ever seen."

"I'm gonna be your only bride, Enteng."

"I'll marry you every month if you will let me."

I chuckled and we turned to the priest in front of us.

***

I just learned that Enteng made the reception alcohol-free even if I told him it's not needed. He just kissed me to shush me and told me he wouldn't change it. It was my day and he will make everything perfect for me.

We did all the ceremonial stuff like first dances with our parents and maids of honours and best men. The emcee — Chael and Amara were a delight and kept the crowd entertained. The parlour games they prepared left little in the participants' dignity, but they did it anyway for our happiness.
