The Ruin Wedding

IRIS LOU POV

I woke up feeling dizzy, I shook my head to adjust my vision because it was still blurry when I woke up, when my vision became clear I saw that I was still inside the car, I slowly opened the car door and got out before I looked around and my eyes stopped at the big church in front of me, so what came to my mind was that maybe Cleopard changed the vinue of our wedding because the one I rode in was also new.

I walked up the stairs because I still have to walk up the stairs before I reach the main door of the church, this church is very beautiful to look at from the outside because it is not old and the roses that are placed at the entrance made me feel beautiful. so when I got inside it might look super elegant.

I took a deep breath and when I was about to open the door of the church to push, it suddenly opened on its own and a bright light appeared in front of me so I closed my eyes before slowly opening my eyes and slowly walked inside. I don’t know what I will feel when I see who the people are inside because I can see the Hamilton family and my father before my eyes go to Analine who is smiling at me while her daughter Anastasia is next to her, at the same time I looked at the familiar man who was none other than my brother Rhys and there were men with whom I was not familiar.

And what brought tears to my eyes was when I saw my son Elias Duke, all this time I thought my son was dead I couldn’t take my eyes off his face while he was smiling at me I thought I was just dreaming but no, I would have approached him to confirm it was true but he motioned me to just walk towards the altar, I looked in front and saw the man I will never forget in my whole life.

My tears fell even more when I saw the tears in his eyes, I thought that Cleopard was the man to marry me but I made a mistake in the part I said, Cleopard will be my final destination.

As I’m walking towards him, my heart, beat so fast, I can’t deny that my heart still beats for him, no matter how many men have passed through my life, my crazy heart still calls his name. At this time, I have no other thoughts but to be with him until we grows old. I don’t think about Cleopard anymore, what happened to him because even I don’t know anything about what is happening today.

“I’ve been rehearsing for this moment all my life.” As I heard those lyrics coming from the song, I remembered that this was the day I had been waiting for a long time, he fulfilled his promise that he would only bring me in front of the priest for the rest of his life.

When I got close to him, he extended his hand to me so I took it slowly and my hand was still shaking when I reached his hand, the tears still did not go away from my eyes because this was the second time that I had been touched his hand in the church, we always want a church them in our wedding, so I’m happy that the marriage between the two of us came true in the church itself. He made me face him before he wiped my tears with his index finger.

“Stop crying, your make up might wipe out and I don’t want to see my bride being ugly on our wedding day.” He said, so I laughed and started crying before hitting him lightly on the shoulder.

“Stop joking! what’s going on?” I asked and stopped myself from crying in front of him.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“I’ll explain everything to you after this.” He said with a smile and faced the priest.

“Father let’s start this ceremony I don’t want my bride to run away from me.” He said, I saw the priest smile.

“Don’t worry son, I know your bride won’t run because I remember you were the one who ran.” The priest was joking and then I realized that he was also the priest who married us before.

“The joke is right, let’s start this wedding, but before I start this wedding, I will first ask the people inside this church if there are any objections, I give you permission to stand up and say the reason why you don’t want this marriage to go through.” Announcement of the priest.

“Father, don’t ask that to all the people here in the church, maybe someone will object and my future wife’s marriage won’t go through.” Eliot’s appeal made the people inside laugh.

“bro! don’t worry Iris will never Marr y you!” I heard a man shout.

“You’re too excited, I was about to object!” Another shouted.

“Shut the f*ck up lucas! try to protest you will never marry the woman you love!” Eliot shouted and actually turned around to face the man he called Lucas. The one who shouted that he would have stopped.

“Son, you still haven’t changed. You cursed inside the church. You want me not to go ahead with your marriage?” The priest said but I knew it was just a joke. I saw Eliot face the priest again.

“I’m sorry father, it won’t happen again.” He asked the priest for forgiveness.

“I’m just kidding, son, but don’t curse again inside the church, you should fear God.” The priest reminded him, I saw him nod like a child so I couldn’t help but smile because of what he showed.

“If there’s no objection, let’s get started.” Said the priest and took a deep breath.

“Are you Eliot Hunter Hamilton ready to accept this woman named Iris Lou Ephraim as your life partner?” The priest asked him.

“I do, Father.” He answered without hesitation.

“Are you Iris Lou Ephraim ready to accept this man named Eliot Hunter Hamilton as your life partner?” The priest asked me and the church suddenly became silent as if they were waiting for what my answer would be

“You know the answer, she doesn’t want Eliot to be his wife!” That voice echoed inside the church because of the loud shout that came from the man Eliot cursed earlier, Lucas. Eliot turned to look at that place again and knew if he was going to yell again that someone would come with him but he didn’t because I suddenly answered.

“I do, Father.” I answered that’s why Eliot faced me again with a disbelieving look.

“Really! Did you hear it father? She said I do!” He couldn’t believe it and said to father, I saw that the priest just laughed.

“Yes son, I heard.” The priest said laughing.

“Because you two agreed to be one, pleasee exchange your rings and vow’s to each other.” The priest said, I saw dad pushing my son’s wheel chair closer to us because my son and Eliot’s wedding rings were on his lap.

“Dad, always take care of mom don’t hurt her again for the second time.” Our son’s reminder, I saw dad just nodded and he was the one who handed us the wedding ring because until now my son’s hand still has a cast, I know if he has any injuries just because of his appearance.

They turned around and went back to where they were sitting earlier, Eliot placed the box with our wedding ring on a small table next to us just the right distance from the two of us. He took a wedding ring before facing me and spoke.

“Iris Lou Ephraim, I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done to you, sorry for the pain that I’ve caused you and I’m sorry if I wasn’t by your side when you gave birth to our first child and forgive me if I didn’t even take care of our son while he was growing up and during the times you were pregnant I didn’t even buy the things you wanted. I’m s-sorry…. I promise to god that I will always cherish you until my last breath, please accept this ring as my sign of love and loyalty to you.” I couldn’t help but cry when he asked for forgiveness, knowing if everything that came out of his mouth was true because we were right inside the church.

I just nodded while my tears were falling, he put the ring on my ring finger. When he put our wedding ring on me, I took the remaining wedding ring before wiping my tears and looked straight into his eyes and spoke.

“Hubby, honey, love or whatever Sweet name I would call you but this is the only thing that I could tell, please dont hurt me again….” I can see how his eyes would be stained with pain when he heard what I’ve said. My voice was hoarse when I said it as tears welled up in my eyes.

“Please…. don’t hurt me again because if you do, I don’t know what things might happen to me, all the pain you gave me before is over, I won’t be able to handle it again if the day comes again you will leave me alone again…. I’ll promise in this church that you will be the last man in my life until death do as apart, Please accept this ring as my sign of love and loyalty to you.” I said last before putting the ring on her.

“I may pronounce you as husband and wife you may now kiss your bride.” The priest announced that’s why he came closer to me and slowly brought his lips to mine, he kissed me passionately but at the same time as he kissed me, I also fell.

“Oh my god, she collapsed”

“What happened!”

“Wife, wake up!” I heard what they were saying but I felt so bad.

“Hang on wife, I’ll take you to the hospital!” I heard Eliot shout and I just felt like I was floating in the air because he lifted me up, my eyes couldn’t take it anymore and just closed my eyes.
