Destinies Entwined

Chapter 16

Charlotte's pov

If someone would have told me a month ago that I'll be standing in front of the mirror after a few weeks, in my wedding dress I would have laughed so hard at them. And if they would have told me that the guy i would be marrying would be none other than Adelrik I would have literally punched them on their face. I wish it was that easy though! I wish that it was all just a dream and that I will wake up and pretend like the last month didn't even happen.

Yet that's not the case. I have tried pinching myself just incase I was really dreaming. Standing infront of the mirror in my wedding gown which  was marvelous, I have all sorts of thoughts running in my mind. Maybe i can really run from here and just go to any secluded area and just start a new life. But I am not the type of person to run away from my problems. And even if I was, something tells me that whatever is happening is happening for a reason.

My hair was done elegantly  in a loose bun with little flowers. My makeup was natural with just a little bit of tinted foundation with blush and lip shade. My mom forced me to put some kind of eyeshade too. All in all I looked pretty.

There was a knock on my door followed by the entry of my beloved mother. As soon as she saw me, tears started glistening in her eyes. I had to stop myself from tearing up, otherwise I would look like a mess in my own wedding, which would be awful. She came to me and hugged me tightly.

"Oh Lottie you look so beautiful. I have no words to tell you how gorgeous you look" she says while hugging me.

"Thankyou mom!" I said while sipping a few lone tears that made their way down her cheeks.

"Well please stop crying. No one would want the brides mom looking like a raccoon!" I said cracking a mischievous smile at her which earned me a chuckle from her and a slap on back.

"You'll always be my little baby Lottie! And I know these aren't the best circumstances you're getting married into but I know for a fact that this marriage will turn out to be the best for you. My heart has this feeling"

I would have scoffed at her wierd feelings but then she was my mother. So I just smiled in return and kissed her cheeks. As soon as I wore my heels Nic came running into my room. As soon as he saw my mom's red eyes her eye darted to my face and she let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh thank god that you didn't cry otherwise I would have slapped you so hard for wasting all of my hardwork" yes she was the one who might I add, did my minimal makeup which even I could have done easily but she just wanted to take the credits.

"Well what are you both doing here standing like fools. We have a wedding to go to and it can't happen while the bride is lost in her own thoughts. It's almost time guys let's go"

And that is how I found myself rushing to the car in which all three of us will be going to the venue. My dad will meet us there as he had to check the last minute decorations and stuff. As much as I wanted and wished for the time to pass by slowly, it didn't really happen. We reached the venue in almost 10 minutes.

The venue was really beautiful. It was originally a restored warehouse but it turned out to be just amazing. The decorations were done to the perfections. Atleast they were on the outside. But I am pretty sure I was in for a wonderful surprise as soon as I saw the interior.

I stepped out of the car and made my way to the entrance of the hall where I saw my dad waiting for me. As soon as his eyes found mine he gave me a soothing smile. I have never seen my dad in tears. He is always the most controlled one. So seeing him tears almost automatically brought tears in my eyes yet again. But then I just felt my hand getting squeezed tightly by Nic. that reminder was enought for me to take back the tears that I was about to roll down.
