Beauty Of Vengeance

Chapter 4

Cassandra's absence had not been suspected by any. While the Guests were arriving and taking their respective seats her supposed friend and finance were having fun.

When she got back to her room, the letter had been placed. It was needless trying to find out who planted it. In her previous life, she had run through the rooms in the hotel like a mad person searching for that person.

If she had not gone like a mad person, she would have noticed how Kelly desperately tried to control herself and fixed her hair. She had almost run into them. She had been crying too loud which attracted their attention. This time around she was not going to do such.

"It's a pity that returning to 6 years prior has to be at the price of my baby the biggest price I have paid?" She comforts herself, since they won't be with them again, she will never get the chance to meet her baby.

She glanced at the letter one last time before keeping it away. Carlson had been the one to handle everything after the passing of her father.

She was too depressed to help and even after she came around, she signed over everything to Frank. She felt that was rather a stupid move she had made back then, there was not an incident Carlson had not been there for her.

The number of times she had to wait under the rain and snow for him yet Carlson had been the one to show up for her.

She has always been waiting for the love of a man who loved her best friend while he has always been waiting for her. She hated herself for not seeing how much he loved and cared for her.

It took her 6 years and now she will not only punish the cheaters but also give love and attention to the man who has been by her side at all times only he deserves her love.

"Mrs Williams, the ceremony process has started. Will you please come with me?" the venue organizer reached out for her hand. Cassandra turned away the letter.

Her father had been the one she wanted to walk her down the aisle. However, he didn't show up for her wedding because he wanted someone else as a son-in-law.

Frank and Kelly had made out all through the time she was away. They had indeed confessed to killing her father but how? Cassandra could account for their time. Yes, foolishly she had been the alibi in those painful 6 years.

She had worked with the police, but aside from the letter which was dismissed, no other evidence was found.

They had indeed cleaned the scene so perfectly, she knew with all certainty. They had murdered a person before, they were too good at covering their tracks for it to be their first.

Frank was way too good at destroying evidence at the crime scene. Just like he did hers like they were strangers in those 6 years.

While Kelly was good at committing actual murder, she had a boyfriend who perfected the scene. A job they were too good at.

Cassandra walked over with the organizer holding the white dress so that she wouldn't trip. 6 years back, she had walked to him with a smile, determination, and so much love. She said "I do" and meant every word of it. How could he keep such a straight face and lie?

The closer they got the angrier she became. Kelly had spoken more to her wedding decorator than her. She had trusted her because she knew her best however it all turned back to bite her. 6 years was what it took for her to réalisé; she had only been a participant in her wedding.

The bouquet was Kelly's favorite flower combination. While she led that slide. How could she not be angry when the theme wedding was not of white lilies as she had requested but rather Jasmine the favorite of her best friend too?

The color theme had to be white but here was green. She stood ahead smiling. Her smile did not reach her eyes. How could she put on such a show just to have the wealth of others?

Of Course, Kelly was ready to give it all up and become his mistress, inferior to how much Kelly loved Frank, how obsessed can one be to do so much for a man?

Yes, Kelly and Carlson were not very different while Kelly was ready to do all for Frank Carlson loved and protected her from afar. How could she not find a man like him? The wedding match continued and she braced herself.

It was now or never she smiled as she took a steady step closer to Frank. He had a beautiful smile which made him look even more handsome.

The white tux Kelly had chosen looked good on him. This was not her wedding, she was the one walking down the aisle to the man up ahead. But the wedding was the choice of his mistress.

Every flower was off her taste and color. The designs were closely chosen by her; how could she call it her wedding, when her bouquet was not of the color she liked?

How could she not see how much they love each other? Cassandra's eyes stared straight ahead, not leaving the couple. Even in the presence of so many they still manage to exchange glances at each other.

How desperate were they to get her wealth and inheritance so much that he was willing to stay in a marriage of misery for 6 years and counting?

"Welcome to the joining ceremony of our beloved. Cassandra Williams and her one true love Frank Edward'' Kelly announced while the crowd applauded in congrats

"Indeed you are my one true love," Cassandra muttered. A love so blind that had made her lose everything including her life and that of her baby.

A love she was blinded for 6 years never not even for once had she suspected them. They were willing to sacrifice, love, and energy just to keep what wasn't theirs. A greedy couple she should have never gotten close to.

"A little backstory about the bride and groom," Kelly announced cheerfully. They have been friends for a very long time and have now reached the stage of tying the knot and moving forward as Mr. And Mrs. Frank Edward.

Frank Edward do you take this woman Cassandra Williams to love cherish and hold to preserve to be your lawful wedding wife" Kelly stared deep into his eyes

"Yes, I do," Frank replied without shame. He said yes' ' not to me even the vows were not directed to me every time he said I do my heart aches so much. How excited had I been to be fooled so much? How could he stand before me and tell her he loved her? He said I Do to her and not me

"Miss Cassandra Williams, do you take Mr. Frank Edward to love and cherish and to hold as your lawful wedded husband?." Cassandra watched every eye turn to her. They were all expecting a yes, Frank smiled like the loving finance she thought he was.

6 years of her life would be what she would have to pay for this mistake—6 years of lies, regrets, manipulations, and betrayal. Something had to change and it was time for that change. She looked up at him with a broad smile, without skipping a beat or stopping to breathe.

"I don't take Frank as my husband.......I would rather marry another than marry a cheat.'' As every word left her mouth the loud gasps from the hall foiled the air. Everyone was too stunned to speak.
