His Rebound

Chapter 16

How quickly time runs is something I now realized when the eight days quickly flew by and the day of my wedding arrived. True to his word, Sebastian sticked to the small wedding calling off every preparation he had previously made. Undoubtedly, he had gone through some loses and I don't want to even go there because I know I am the one responsible for these changes. Sarah although said it hardly even makes a small dent in his saving account but keeping everything aside he just proved how lucky Nicole is to have him in her life.

Since it's a small wedding happening in the Walter mansion not many people were invited, so I didn't even got the chance to invite Marie and for Chloe and Hayden, they doesn't even know about it yet. I just can't call them and explain them the reason of this marriage. It's way too complicated to even speak about it infront of others. Their reaction scares me to an extent that I even fear losing them. I am marrying a man for business, this is the explanation which I could provide them but it makes me feel so low of myself right now that I can't speak it loud to Chloe and Hayden. I asked Marie to help me and after much persuasion, she gave in. We have decided as soon as this whole wedding things end I will call them and tell them everything. If I would tell them now they will try to stop this wedding without even trying to understand my reasons. Deep down I know Hayden and Chloe doesn't like my family much and this will give them the reason to hate them more.

Keeping this secret away from them was bothering me but I didn't had a choice.

"Are you nervous?" The girl who was helping me with my dress spoke.

"Yes." I admitted. Although I have agreed to get married to Sebastian, yet my decision still seems a little in haste to me.

"She has all the right to be a little nervous." Sarah piped in bringing in my veil and gave to that same girl who put it on my head.

"You look beautiful." I said looking at Sarah. She was wearing an aqua green dress as she is not just Sebastian's sister but also my maid of honor. I didn't know anyone who could be my maid of honor and then Sarah volunteered taking away all my worries.

"Not better than a bride." She said and I shook my head.

The torture I went through while sitting on the chair while the girls did my hair and makeup is something beyond my explanation. In any other situation, I would have been thrilled but today, I was just the opposite of it. I don't know what and why is all this happening and to top that all up, the biggest question was, was I doing right with my ownself?

The only thing that was keeping me sane right now was Sebastian's happiness. When he called me last night he was so excited for his business ventures after the wedding that I couldn't even think of backing out now.

Even though it's fake, I wanted to look nice for him. I had never done makeup before and with the amount of products girls used on my face pretty much convinced I'll be looking like clown. I was so scared that I kept demanding them to let me see the mirror once but Sarah didn't let them. Thankfully, they didn't do much on my hair and simply tied them in a bun as we were running out of time. They let some tendril lose giving it a messy appearance. They wanted to use a curling rod and I straight away declined. I am too possessive of my hair and I don't want to burn them atleast on my wedding.

"I wonder how long it is going to take me to take this all off." I sighed.

"Don't worry...Seth will help you." Sarah winked at me as the girls giggled. For a moment, I didn't understood what she meant but when it registered I blushed.

Finally, when they were satisfied, they asked me to look myself in the mirror and for a moment I gasped looking at the girl wearing her wedding gown. My mermaid style gown was hugging my figure perfectly on right places and the keyhole back was giving it 'boldness' which Sara had been demanding. But my favorite part was my long laced veil. It made me look like a complete bride.
