Back in this day and age, royalty no longer wedded royalty, simply because everyone now wanted to marry for love. Which is why a union like ours would have effortlessly drawn the crowd; peharps more enemies than friends. The marriage of a blooded royalty to a birthed royalty. Blue blood to blue blood. A union like ours, was bound to change lives to come, generations, eras even, and unwittingly... The life of my unborn child. BUT EVERYONE'S FORGOTTEN ONE RULE. "For a union to be made, royalty or no royalty, the bride and groom at least have to be present. Vows can't be made, if one of the pair gets missing. Or absent. So what happens when the bride gets kidnapped and killed? No. Don't despair. That's not the end of everything; its just the beginning, for even ghosts and corpses still have to hold on to their important earthly commitments they had, before they died. And as I take in my last couple of breaths, nothing else rips my heart apart more than the fact that my own wedding, that is supposed to have me as its bride, goes on without me. An imposter in my spot? Convenient. I hope she's also prepared to fuck my husband on our wedding night too? Don't they know that Chris knows every inch of the body of the woman he fell in love with? He'd know.. He has to... They'll all have to know... I can't exit this way. ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ___________________ ∞~•♦|| " I no longer know if I'm dead or alive. A corpse or a ghost.
