I Left My Heart In Paris

Chapter 3

"Rise and shine, my dear! Camille, you promised me to witness the wedding ceremony with Elias! Get a move on, honey. He's expecting." Esther said as she proceeded to unlock the windows in Camille's room to let in the fresh air.

"Oh! What a fine day!" She mentioned as she looked beyond the glass window.

"On my behalf, it is not the case, mom. I am currently strained into an arranged marriage to a German-Austrian whom I have no idea precisely, for this reason I was wrong having said that it's not a lucky day as far as I am concerned." Camille answered, plunging her face upon her pillow, pissed off.

"I don't want to view that senseless German-Austrian. He bugs me a great deal of time. I don't even know who I belonged to." Camille told her mother deliberately.

Esther wandered to her bed and crept her in the bathroom.

"You are going to that wedding rehearsal forcibly or voluntarily. I'm fatigued from catching sight of you moaning throughout the day about a lone foolish thing." Esther responded angrily.

"If I told you once, I've told you a thousand times. I am not concerned about him. Why can't I be passionate about someone who adores me? I just want to live a normal life for once, mother! I am a full-grown woman!" She yelped anxiously as she came out of the bathroom and returned to bed.

"Where do you think you're going?" Esther questioned catching sight of her daughter, bewildered.

"I'm going back to bed. I'm not going to that stupid wedding rehearsal." She said aggravated.

"Camille Rose Hathaway, be aware of your mother this very minute! The logical thought why I urged you to marry Elias is when in fact he was capable of being trusted to obtain the initiative to support you," Esther said, folding her arms over her chest convulsed.

"But mother, Elias is not my subdivision!" She responded with a repulsed look on her face.

Her mother planked herself on the stool and cried silently.

"All I want is for you to be content. I'm only doing this in your best interest, darling. The reason I put you together with Elias seeing that it's the only way that I can protect your future. And as soon as I finally received information that you acknowledged to wed him, I felt blissful and felicitous. My soul says that he is special in your favor." Her mother said with concern dripping from her eyes.

"I'm sorry I go off the deep end, mom. I didn't mean to harm you. I was just emphasized about the wedding rehearsal, Elias, and everything else I had on my mind from these past few days. You may be right, Elias might be the one for me, and I guess I was wrong the whole time." She said, feeling ashamed about what she said before.

She aimed for the bathroom and got ready. As soon as she joined her mom downstairs near her ride, she gave her a warm embrace.

"I deeply regret, mom! Please excuse my coarse demeanor." Camille said cowardly. Her mother eyed her in the eyes and grinned as she brushed her hair and nodded.

"Come on! Let's get this show on the road." Her mother laughed.

Camille got into the passenger seat and navigated to the chapel with her mother and father.

"Have you observed what I told you to do?" Esther asked as she concentrated on the roadway.

"Yes! I have to be well-mannered and avoid being naive."

"Perfect, I'm so pleased with you. Don't blow me off this time. I want you to be on your finest behavior." Her mother said as she looked at her.

"Yes, mother. I have it under control."
