The fall of our secrets

Chapter38

Ethan rested his hands on my hips and pouted. "I can't go to my wedding with a broken nose."

"You planned this." I accused.

"I had prepared a lot of plans to help you out of this. Our marriage was one of them." Ethan said with his charming smile back.

I don't know what good I did in my life, but having Ethan on my side was the best gift I could ask for.

I leaned over and connected our lips in a sweet and short kiss. "Thank you so much, Ethan."

I looked at the bathroom mirror and shook my head. I looked like everything but a bride on her wedding day.

Going back to my room, I changed out of my white dress and wore a navy blue one. I didn't have the right to wear white at this wedding. Only real brides deserve to wear a white dress.

I applied another layer of red lipstick and looked myself over at the body-length mirror. The navy dress came just below my knees. It hugged my curves in the right places and showed the shape of the body I worked so hard to maintain. I could even dare and say I looked beautiful in it.

I decided to leave my wavy hair free and admired how it flowed down my back. One last look and I deemed myself ready to get married.

At ten sharp, a knock sounded on my door. I took a deep breath and opened the door to find a formally dressed Ethan. I must confess, he looked handsome in his black suit. He leaned over and planted a gentle kiss on my lips.

"Hi," I greeted him with a smile and watched as he looked me over from head to toe.

He frowned at my choice of dress but fortunately didn't comment on it. I didn't want to explain my choices to him.
You are so funny! You just don't want to see pity in your predicament.

He paused again when his eyes landed on my heels and smiled. "I didn't know you would reserve it for a special occasion."

I blushed at his words and shrugged. " I didn't reserve it or anything. I just didn't have any missions this past week. So they stayed with no use. Besides, it is the newest pair of Louboutin. Why waste it on some low life?"

Ethan smirked and shook his head. "Anyway, you look stunning." He said as he leaned over and kissed my cheek.

"You don't look so bad as well."

"Thank you for the heartwarming compliment." Ethan rolled his eyes and looked down at his watch. "Do you have everything you need?" I made a mental check and nodded my head.

Ethan stopped in front of a white car, and I raised an eyebrow. "A new car?"

"Mom insisted I change my black one. She wants me to have some colour in my life." Ethan rolled his eyes, and I laughed at his expression.

"She is bossy."

"Like you can't imagine."

Ethan made sure to drive slowly to our location. Those were the gestures that made me fall hard in love with him. My comfort was always his priority, and he showed it every chance he got.

He parked in front of a large building, and we were greeted by a lovely receptionist. She gave us a warm smile and directed us to the judge's office.

"Ready?" Ethan asked with his hand on the door's knob.

I nodded my head silently, not having the strength to speak. We entered the office and a man in his late fifties smiled at us. He invited us to take the two chairs in front of his desk.
