Chapter 41
LUTHER'S POV
Our wedding day was finally here, the hall was beautifully decorated, and guests arrived just in time.
I look at myself in the mirror, I hate on a navy blue suit with a black tie to match
The day I never imagined, I never saw myself getting married, I always thought since I have Lisa there wasn't use to settling down anymore. I know when I first got Lana pregnant, I promised to take care of her and eventually marry her, but as time went by, the feeling I thought was love turned out to be lust. Just a horny teen.
I let out a sigh, even though this wedding has its reasons, I still hope to do a better job.
I hear a knock on the door "Who is it?".
"It's your mother". Ah jeez. I quickly open the door, and she barges in
"Mother what are you doing here?".
She sits on the bed "What do you mean? Is your wedding".
I roll my eyes "I know that, but why are you here? In my hotel room".
"I just came to see you, I didn't want to have to see you when you're at the Alta, Lisa begged me to bring her with me on my way here but I refused".
My eyes widen following with a smile "Lisa is here?".
She nods "Yes, Lana as well, she isn't happy, so when you hear someone crying loud just ignore".
I chuckle "Anyway thanks mum, for showing up".
"Just please be happy, and take care of your Violet, she's your responsibility now, you signed up to it so don't come crying to me when things don't work out".
"That will never happen".
She stands up from the bed "I better go back, good luck dear". She gives me a hug and kisses my cheek.
"Love you mum".
"Wish I could say the same". She hits my back really hard.
"Ouch!" I whine, and she laughs leaving my room.
I look at my reflection "Let's go get married". I leave my room
VIOLET'S POV
"And one last touch........ Done!". Amanda exclaims excited "I wish you could see how you look, you look so beautiful, I might not be a pro but I got the job done. Yay me".
I smile "Thank you".
She suddenly gasps "I forgot the veil, I'll be right back, don't worry the guards are at the entrance". I hear her exit the room
I sigh, I suddenly feel so much anxiety. Is this a bad Idea?, should I just run away?. I take in deep breaths
God help me.
I hear someone gasp behind me, I slowly turn "Who is it". I reach for my staff, I grab it and use it as a defence weapon "Who's it?".
"You look even more beautiful" my eyes widen, Jesse
"What are you doing here? How did you get in here, where is Leo?".
"Relax I'm not going to hurt you, They are just.... Busy".
"Go, I have no reason to talk to you".
I hear him sigh "Violet, you don't have to do this, I know I hurt you, I admit it and I'm sorry".
"Go away".
"Please! I-I still love you".
I shake my head "You never did, you are a monster".
"Words like that are like a knife to my heart Violet, I am still very much in love with you, I never meant to hurt you, I wasn't the one who did all those bad things, if I did then, why did I help you when you got framed for your father's murder". I turn away from him
I clench my fist "I don't want to hear it".
I feel his hands on my shoulder, his hot breath on my neck "I'm not the devil, I'm no monster, I promise you that, I miss you, I miss you so much it's driving me crazy, please don't go through with this, we can start a new chapter together".
I gulp "What about your wife?".
"This isn't about her, this is about the one I'm in love with, you, I love you, Violet, please". He kisses me on my neck "Please". He uses his fingers to trace my neck down to my slightly open breast as he sticks his tongue down my throat, I push him away.
I exclaimed, "Get away from me! you're about to do the same thing you did to me to Benita". I scoffed "You're a dog"
"Vio-"
"Enough, don't you ever come near me".
"Do you even love him?".
"That's none of your business".
He chuckles "You can't answer the question, I'm the one you love Violet, like it or not, we are meant to be".
"You're just talking gibberish".
"You can't deny it though, you can't deny you're still in love with me, Go ahead, I dare you".
The door suddenly burst open "There he is!". Leo exclaimed, "You aren't allowed here".
I hear Jesse struggling "Say it!" he exclaimed as he was forcefully dragged away "Say it!".
I fall to my knees and start to cry
"The glitter in this is so-" Amanda gasps, as she rushes towards me "oh my... What happened?".
"I'm fine" I use my hand to fan my tears "I'm fine".
"Are you sure?".
"Yes, I am".I hear Amanda sob "What's wrong? I promise I'm okay you don't have to cry".
She draws her nose "It's not that, your makeup is ruined, I took so long to make it perfect!" she burst into tears crying like a baby.
Of course.
It was time, my tummy suddenly felt so many butterflies, I felt like I needed an Inhaler.
The doors that led to the aisle were opened, and I hear the gasps of the crowd, as I walked down I suddenly felt someone's arms around mine, like someone was walking down with me, I smile because I know my dad was in spirit, he walked me down the first time and he's walking me down the second time. I miss him so much.
Luther takes my hand and we both face the priest. I hear someone crying aloud in the crowd
"Who?".
Luther whispers "Just ignore her".
As soon as the priest was done and we read our vows to each other
"Violet, From this moment, I take you as my best friend for life. I pledge to honour, encourage, and support you through our walk together. When our way becomes difficult, I promise to stand by you and uplift you, so that through our union we can accomplish more than we could alone. I promise to work at our love and always make you a priority in my life. With every beat of my heart, I will love you.” the whole crowd goes down... But we both know he got that from Google.
I let out a sigh "today we begin our lives together. I promise before our families and our friends to be your faithful wife. I choose to live with you, as your lover, companion and friend, loving you when life is peaceful, and when it is painful, during our successes, and during our failures, supported by your strengths, and accepting your weaknesses. I will honour your goals and dreams, trying always, to encourage your fulfilment. I will strive to be honest, and open with you, sharing my thoughts, and my life with you. I promise to love and cherish you from this day forward.” The crowd and media go crazy
The priest clears his throat to get out attention "By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride".
I smile Luther hoping he was doing the same, I close my eyes and leaned forward and soon I felt his soft lips on mine shortly his hands gently on my face, everywhere got quiet for a second, felt like it was just the two of us.
And like that, I became Luther's wife.
