Falling for Mr.Star

Chapter 6

Voilet's POV:

Shalisa and Alistair started whispering, leaving me stand all alone and to some extent, heartbroken. Get a grip Violet I scolded myself and looked around and my gaze fell on a VERY good looking man. 

“I guess you should come with me…” Aiden said and gently tugged at my arm. I, involuntarily, looked at Alistair to which he just nodded. Why the hell was I asking for his permission I thought, again mad at myself. He wasn’t my guy but still I felt really weird with him, I felt really CLOSE to him.

Aiden took me to other corner and finally stopped and gave his smile. Okay he also had one of those infectious smiles which could make you go all woozy on your knees.

“I know you must be wondering if Shalisa is Alistair’s love, so my answer is, YES. Although they haven’t dated each other because Shalisa is daughter of Scotland’s royalty but they both are very CLOSE friends.  They wanted to have a relationship but couldn’t due to all this publicity.” Aiden said, clearing half of my confusion but I asked another question with no intention of prying.

“Then what good marrying me for six months would do?” I asked, confusion once again plastered my face.

“Scotland has this law that royal ladies cannot get married or have any premarital relationship before theage of 25. In time of four months, Shalisa will be twenty five and within last two months of your relationship you both can show public that you guys are not working well and eventually a divorce after six months. We don’t want Shalisa family to know that she is seeing someone and your wedding will eliminate all sorts of premarital relation ideas from the mind of royals of Scotland. Shalisa and Alistair have been friends since high school and her parents know that she might be dating Alistair so it is just to remove all sorts of doubts from their minds.” Aiden said, explaining further yet a question still bugged me.

“But how can you be so sure that royals will approve off Alistair after this divorce?” I asked, finally giving in to my curiosity.

“They cannot say no once Shalisa turns twenty five. See this whole thing is to create a divergence so Shalisa and Alistair can still see each other and her parents won’t object as she can say that they are simple friends and his married stance would support it. Her parents asked her to stop being with Alastair as they did not want public to know that she might be in a premarital relationship.” Aiden said as finally lit his cigar.

GOD! Couldn’t they wait for six months? I wondered loudly which made Aiden laugh. He looked extremely handsome as he laughed like a carefree man, his slim fit tux showing his abs.

“Thank God someone thinks the way I do! But this thing has been going on for past year and now Shalisa said she couldn’t take it any more so well, he had to do it.” Aiden said, a smile gently formed on his face.

I looked in to his eyes which had odd familiarity in them. They looked like as if I have seen them somewhere, not in a movie or picture but somewhere else. His eyes looked further in to my mind which made me break the strong connection. Well that was so awkward I thought biting my lower lip and looking at Alistair who was drinking Champagne. He gently raised his glass to me and I smiled back.

Weddings are supposed to be magical but I just felt extremely sad. Was it because I had seen Shalisa and her unprecedented understanding with Alistair or was it because I felt lonely even on my wedding day.

Our wedding was supposed to be held at Dalhousie Castle, which should add a notch up to this magical day but it depressed me further. Makeup artist and hair dressers started working on me and they made me look like a princess, no kidding. I looked myself in the mirror and pulled down my veil. All this time photographers and videographers surrounded me and I felt more like an actor today than yesterday. The brides maid were wearing beautiful lilac colored dresses and Izzy was obviously the maid of honor. My dress was most beautiful wedding gown and I ordered it as soon as i saw it in the catalogue. It hugged my figgure perfectly and i felt like a princess, definitely a sad princess.
