CHAPTER: 11 (HAZEL)

Hey guys! I hope you doing well. So here's the new chapter.
As I told you guys I'm not going to post the chapters frequently. So I'll post the chapters that are already written.
Happy reading 🫶

Today was their wedding day, and Hazel was dolled up in her wedding gown which was so beautiful. She was looking so pretty and sitting in a room nervously.
She wore a simple gown with V-neck and embroidered full sleeves as she was not a big fan of heavy dresses. She decided to keep her hair open and a very light makeup.

She was feeling scared and nervous because her life will change completely After today she's going to be someone's wife. And she was feeling sad and empty because like every girl she had also wished that her father would walk her down the aisle. A lone tear escaped from her eye but she wiped it quickly.
Stella and Stephen walked into the room and she took a sigh of relief and instantly hugged both of them.
"Ready?" Stephen asked.
I nod my head in yes. And walked out of the room after taking a deep breath of courage.

I walked down the aisle alone feeling nervous and scared. My hands got sweaty as I took each step forward. Suddenly I felt someone's gaze on me "His gaze" he was looking at me boring holes in my body with his eyes, but I did not dare to look up and meet his eyes.
When I reached where he was standing he gave me his hand. I hesitantly took his hand not knowing what else to do. His hand was so big as compared to mine and so warm like it was giving me reassurance that everything will be fine. And for once I want to believe it, but who am I kidding, he doesn't want this wedding he doesn't love me, hell he never even tried to talk to me since that day in his office.

"Eyes here bella." The voice of whiskey and sin. I looked up to see him and my breath got hitched   the moment  I saw him, my heart started pounding in my chest like it will jump out. How can someone be this beautiful. He was looking like a Greek god himself. He was dressed up in all black tux looking otherworldly hot.

His attire was perfect, his hair was perfect, his confidence was perfect his aura was perfect, He was PERFECT.
Why the hell I'm thinking like this 'because it's true , he is indeed perfect and he's your husband '  said my inner voice and I instantly shut it off.

After few moments priest Started the ceremony by saying hymns. I listened keenly to the hymns. After the hymns, Stephen brought the rings this was the first time I'm seeing these rings. His grandfather told me that I don't have to buy rings he will arrange them himself so I gave him my size the other day.

I have to admit that the rings are absolutely beautiful.

As We took the rings, priest asked us to say our vows if we have prepared any, I looked at the man who is going to be my only real family from now on even if he don't want to, then I looked at the priest and nodded my head in yes. Again I looked in those BULE BLUE eyes and said whatever I feel is right.

"I take you to be my partner for life
I promise above all else to live in truth with you.
I give you my hand and my trust
As a sanctuary of warmth and peace
And I pledge my faith, devotion and honour as I join my life to yours.

May you never steal, lie, cheat and drink.
But if you must steal, then steal away my sorrows. And if you must lie, then lie with me all the nights of my life. And if you must cheat, then please...cheat death. And if you must drink, then drink the moments that takes your breath away.

I promise to be faithful and supportive and to always make our family's love and happiness my first priority. I will be with you in plenty and in want, in sickness and health, in failure and in triumph. I will walk with you through every hardship we face in our life.

With my whole heart, I take you as my husband, acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine."

I finished saying my vows priest asked him to say his vows but he didn't said anything. Deep down inside I was waiting for him to say something but he didn't and it hurt more than it should and I don't even know why.

I was lost in his thoughts when he suddenly slide the ring in my finger, and I did the same. Then priest says " I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss your bride."

Huh what the hell???? I didn't think about the kiss. Is he going to kiss me???

He takes my one hand and slides his other on my waist to pull me closer, the moment he touched me a jolt of electricity ran through my spine. His big hands so warm and comfy, his body radiating heat providing me so much warmth.

I closed my eyes as he leans in to kiss me, our lips almost touched, just then he tilted his head a little and kissed me near my lips. He didn't said vows, now he didn't even kissed me. Why does he hate me so much? Why does he can't accept me? Am I not good enough to be accepted by someone and have someone to call my family?? As I was thinking about everything, tears start to collect in my eyes and I looked at him with my teary eyes, he was smirking. I instantly looked down. Feeling so hurt.
