Bad Secrets

Roman

It's time! It's time for me to walk down that aisle and marry the woman I love. I straightened up my tie and tux one more time. I heard the door open behind me, I thought it was Dean telling me to hurry up. "I know, I'm almost done." "Well someone's looking sharp." I swear I stopped breathing for a second when I heard that familiar soft voice. No, it can't be her? Could it? I turned around, and there she was, standing with a grin on her face. "Galina?" My ex-wife, the woman who claimed to love me but she only loved my family's wealth. "Hi Joseph, aren't you gonna give me a hug or something? I mean I am your wife, after all." I clenched my jaw and walked towards her. "You aren't my wife, you never were my wife.. Your my ex-wife." "Why are you so touchy? Calm down!" She walked over and sat down on a chair. "Galina, why are you here? You need to leave,now." She smiled at me and nodded. "I'll leave after I tell you what I'm here for.." She walked over to the window and pointed to the ceremony, people were starting to fill up seats. "I'm here to tell you that if you really care about this Nikki girl, you won't marry her... And don't go thinking, that it's because I love you and I want you back cause I don't.. I'm telling you not to marry this girl, because she has no idea what she's getting into.. A quick question, Does she know about me? Or about Joelle?" I stood quiet, she laughed and walked over to me. "I'm gonna take your silence as a no.. Think about what'll happen when she does find out.. She'll divorce you so quickly, and you'll lose everything.. again.. I mean I could just walk up and tell her." I looked at her, in shock. "But then I don't want to break her heart on her enchanted wedding day.. That's where you come in, you're gonna tell that girl that you don't love anymore, and not marry her." I clenched my fist in anger. "And if I don't?" She smiled and walked up to me. "Joseph if you marry her, I will make your life a living hell.. I'll make your life worst than what it was when we got divorced.. You can say goodbye to everything, including Joelle." "You can't take my own daughter away from me." "Well if you want to continue seeing your daughter, don't marry Nikki." She patted my chest before walking to the door and opening it, she turned around on last time. "Joseph, I'm telling you, let this one go.. Because with me, you won't win.. You know that."  With that she walked out of the room. I turned around and punched the mirror, trying to release some anger. Shards of glass crumbled to the ground. Dean popped his head into the room "Hey man, it's time." I nodded and walked to the door. "What's with the broken mirror?" "Accident." He shrugged it of as we walked closer to the ceremony. I took a deep breath, letting everything sink in. I'm so sorry for this, Nikki.. I love you, I just hope you know that.
