The Duke's Wife ( #wattys2017 )

Chapter 30

The words they were waiting to hear was finally heard.

"Anyone here believes or has any reason why these two should not be wed in holy matrimony" the priest said hoping that something out of the ordinary would happen after years of no one saying a thing, not knowing his silence pray would be answered.

Natalie got up first and smirked at Elena " I have many but one mainly"

The priest thought he prayed to soon but he welcomed her unto the pulpit.

"Your still married to Alexis, Enzo and i thought you loved her" Natalie said as tears began to flow from her eyes.

Lena had to admit this was too good to be true, Natalie had pulled off the first part of the plan excellently, bravo bravo she chanted in her head and smiled wickedly.

Enzo face screwed up he knew his family still harbored feeling for the girl but he was not going to tell them ruin this for him.

He wiped the tears of Natalie's forcefully producing some of his own. "I know you loved her Nats but she died and has gone, she would of loved to see me move on." He said pulling Natalie closer

Perfect Lena thought, he was walking right into their trap that was perfectly laid. She was just waiting on the end result, the smile on her face failed to remove its self.

"On the contrary, Enzo Nicholas Santos, She is very much alive and sitting in this very room" Alejandro stood up and approached the pulpit as well.

The priest was very much enjoying this, some drama was finally going to unfold and the normal wedding rituals were going to stall for a few minutes. He could help but enjoy the suspense and the excitement of was was going to happen next.

"Isn't that So Mrs Santos?" He turned and shouted to open crowd as if directing it to someone was to answer and every one looked around to see if they could spot alexis.

"What games are you playing Alejandro" Enzo shouted at Ale anger clearly visable on his face, but Alejandro returned a smirk.

"Alexis you can come out know." All he heard was her laugh echo through the halls of the church making him shake.

Was that really her.

He looked all over but saw nobody. He fixed his eyes on Alejandro, this man was just trying to make him paranoid just a prank on his wedding day.

So he laughed and laughed very loud "Nice one Ale, you pulled your prank and even involved my dear lovely sister into it." He laughed once more.

He was interrupted when a hand touched his shoulder from the back, thinking it was the priest he turned to address the man only to see a woman in his place with a smug grin on her face.
