" I, Lillian Camilla Vincent, take you, Antonio Giovanni Gonzalez as my lawfully wedded husband, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health, till death do us part,” I said, as I slid the ring on his finger. I'm sure if anyone was looking closely or paying attention they would have noticed my fingers crossed, I couldn't lie in the presence of God now, could I?
“ Now, your turn gentleman," the minister said as he turned to Antonio,... " Repeat after me please,” he said as he started speaking and Antonio repeated after him.
" I, Antonio Giovanni Gonzalez take you, Lillian Camilla Vincent as my lawfully wedded wife, to love and cherish, in sickness and in health, in good and bad times, until death do us part,” he said and I couldn't help but smirk,
He wouldn't have to worry about the ‘Till death do us part’ because we're not even going to be married for long, this was all for show.
He slid the ring into my finger and I could see something shine in his eyes like a brewing storm, he looked satisfied, like he had waited for this moment all his life.
“ Before God and this congregation today, by the power vested in me by God, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride," As soon as the minister said that my friends voices could be heard in the entire hall like some crazy hyena. Even Rodrigo, I turned to him with a glare but that didn't stop him, they were all crazy.
Antonio removed the veil covering my face and he bent down, ready to kiss me. Eww.
It was time to take the real vow.
I wrapped my hands around his neck as his lips hovered over mine and I smirked.
“I Lillian Camilla Vincent promise to make your life a living hell for as long as I live," I whispered on his lips, to them we were just husband and wife exchanging quiet talk on the altar, but they didn't know we were making a promise to torment each other's life.
" And I promise to return the favor dear wife, in a hundred fold,” he said before sealing the agreement with a kiss as his hand went around my waist and drew me closer.
We needed to give our family and the media a show that we were so in love. Yeah, this was all for show.
He slowly pulled away from me as I looked him in the eyes before shaking my head.
“ For a man who claims to hate me, you were enjoying my lips a little too much," I said and he gave a deep chuckle,
“ Incase you're forgetting, I have my mom's eyes on me, wait till we're behind closed doors." he said and I could see the promise as clear as day in his eyes but I was prepared.
We both turned to our families that were smiling from ear to ear, well not all of them, someone like Emilia looked like she would rather be the one marrying this fucker, I really don't know what they see in him.
Antonio held my hand as he helped me down the steps and as soon as I was down I was engulfed into a warm hug by his mother.
“ It feels so much like a dream, thank you so much my dear," she said as she turned to her son looking at him with so much love… “ You've made your mother so happy my son, I feel like I could finally die but no way am I dying without grandbabies, and even after that, I'm still going to live long," she said and I couldn't help but laugh.
“ Congratulations son," his father said as he gave him a hug and then he hugged me too and for some reason I felt warmth soak into me. This hug felt real, warmer than my father's hug.
Everyone started giving their congratulations and I was already beginning to get tired when we still had the reception to attend.
My friends helped me with my dress as I walked out of the building with Antonio walking beside me, a smile on his face.
He was smiling too much, I almost wanted to roll my eyes but stopped myself, everything was being recorded, we were being watched, waiting for the slightest mistake.
Antonio opened the car door for me and I entered as my friends moved aside when he started helping with my dress so some part wouldn't be left outside.
What a caring husband.
He got in after me as he closed the door.
The driver immediately started the car, taking us to the reception venue.
“ I'm so fucking tired, I want to sleep already," I groaned in annoyance but Antonio just looked at me without saying a word.
I wonder what he was planning.
The car ride was quiet, not like I wanted to start having a husband and wife conversation with him.
Once we reached the reception venue, I was helped out of the car again.
“ We'll get her changed," my friends said to Antonio as they took me away.
When we reached the dressing room they started helping me out of my big dress and I couldn't help but breathe in relief when I finally stepped out of the dress.
“ Shit, I didn't even realize I wasn't breathing," I said and Mickey chuckled.
I changed into a long white sleeveless dress that flowed to the floor and then had a long slit up to my thigh. It looked sexy as hell.
“ He just couldn't take his eyes off you, he kept looking at you like he wanted to devour you right in front of everyone," Mickey said dreamingly and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
If she knew his real intentions she wouldn't fall for all that.
“ Yeah, he looked whipped, you know I was worried that this marriage was one of convenience but with the way he looked at you, I'm at peace now," Jess said. What the hell were they all talking about?
I chose not to say anything as we walked out of the dressing room to the reception. I could feel eyes on me as I walked to the head table where Antonio was already waiting for me.
“ I was beginning to think you ran away," he said as we both sat down, everyone's eyes on us.
“ Not a chance, I can't miss the chance of having a fun life from now on husband," I said as I turned to him,
" Good to know wife, good to know,” he said as he took my hand and gently dropped a kiss on the back of it.
" Welcome to torture, my wife,”
