Raine's POV
*Flashback*
"Jace" I called out to him and he hums in response
"How do you think our wedding would be like"? I asked him and he just chuckled lightly, he was drawing circles on my thighs
We had just finished watching a movie and were lying down on the ground with blanket and pillows littering the whole place, his head was on my stomach, while I was lying straight.
"Angel, we aren't even getting married now, so why are you asking" he says playfully and I just shrug
"I just wanna know, what you picture it to be" I say playing with his hair.
"Well if you must know baby, I'd like a very small wedding, minimal guests, probably your parents, my step mom, Ryan and a few close friends" he says making me smile at him
"How about we do a garden wedding, just like your parents did" I suggest and he looks up at me nodding his head.
"That'll do too baby, just a small garden wedding, and you'll wear the most pretty wedding dress to be ever made" he said flicking my nose making me giggle
"And you'll look handsome in your tux, making other women be envious of me, because I'll have the most handsome husband there ever was" I say ruffling his hair and he just bust out laughing.
"I love you Raine" he says looking at me and I bend and peck his lips.
"I love you more Jace"
*End of flashback*
All of that was just an illusion, they were words and wishes that'll never come true.
Because here I am, dressed in a beautiful wedding dress, yes, walking down the isle to the man I once loved, yes, but not having my dream wedding.
Like he promised, I look beautiful just like an angel but I felt nothing short of a slave.
I was putting on a very beautifully designed wedding dress but I was unhappy.
He looked handsome, as handsome as I pictured him to be, the day he asked me to marry him, but he was no longer that man.
A lot had changed, he had no emotions in his eyes for me, just a burning desire for revenge
Dad was walking me down the isle, I wasn't even nervous, I just wanted this to be over with.
Everyone thought we were a loving couple but we were far from that.
The story he fed the media, definitely painted us out to be long lost love sweethearts that found each other after years of being apart but he knew deep down that, that's not the case.
We got to where he was standing and he took my hands and helped me up the altar, he was looking me dead in the eyes and it affected me so much
The talking and exchanging of vows lasted for a while but it was finally over with, now it was the part he had to kiss me.
He took off my veil and pulled me close to him by my waist, his touch alone was doing crazy things to me.
He bent slowly before his lips came close to mine as his breath was fanning my face.
I closed my eyes because I didn't wanna see the look on his face, I felt it cold on my lips and slowly he started moving them.
They were soft but the kiss was anything but soft, it was hard, rough and intense.
I could literally feel like my lips would draw blood at how he was sucking on it.
I know he was trying to pass me a message, one that meant that this marriage would be nothing but torture for me.
He let go when he knew I was running out of breath, I opened my eyes and saw his face was up in a smirk as he was staring down at me.
To everyone watching, the kiss was magical but it felt like punishment, he was punishing me through the kiss.
____________________________________________
The wedding was finally over, we were to go home together, we drove in the same car but all the while he was on his phone, not even caring if I was sitting with him.
I kept stealing glances at him but he didn't even notice, I never expected Ryan or Melissa's reaction to seeing me
I thought they'd hate me too but they acted differently, they still treated me like family.
I know they know why I left, at least why they think I left but they weren't even in the least bit angry or maybe they just didn't show it
Ryan was happy, I was finally going to be his sister in law, if only he knew what his brother wants by getting married to me.
Our wedding had everything we planned when we were together, except it wasn't a small wedding and we didn't do it at a garden but in a church.
I didn't even realize we had gotten to his place, I only looked out the window and came face to face with a huge mansion, it looked very beautiful, more like a castle.
He really did well for himself, I was wowed, he had stopped the car and was looking at me but I didn't really mind because I was taking in the house.
"Get out" he snapped making me turn my head to look at him "Are you deaf? I said get out" he gritted at me.
I didn't argue, I just stepped out of the car, waiting for him to come out too but he just sped off, out of the compound without even an explanation.
How am I supposed to find my way in this huge house alone?
I slowly started walking towards the front door, the place was eerily quiet and since it's huge, it scared me already
I got to the front door and raised my hands to knock when the door flew open almost making me jump, an old lady stood there with a smile on her face.
"Welcome Mrs Sinclair, please come inside" she stepped out of the way for me to go in and I did.
I said the outside looked beautiful, I was dead wrong, the inside was like heaven
The stairs were made to run in a snake like kind of way and in the middle of the living room was a huge space that had very beautiful tiles on it.
The walls were painted white and on the ceiling was a huge chandelier glowing with different colours, I looked to the side and saw a waterfall, it looked so real that I had to move close to it before I heard the chuckle of the old lady
"It's a virtual waterfall ma'am" she said when I looked at her and I mouthed an 'o'
"Mr Sinclair had already informed us of your arrival, your luggage are upstairs in your room, please follow me" she said and I did.
We walked up the stairs and I kept seeing different paintings on the wall, they were all amazing and beautiful.
"Excuse me..um..." I say trying to get the old lady's attention
"Gladys" she told me
"You said 'we' when you spoke earlier on, are there other people who work for him"? I ask and she nods
"Yes ma'am...." I quickly cut her off
"Please just call me Raine" I tell her with a smile as we get to the front of a room and she stops making me stop too
"There are other maids here, myself, Tina and my daughter Claire" she said and I just nodded while she opened the room and ushered me in.
"Here's your room ma... Sorry Raine, if you need anything, please call me" she said before bowing her head and walking out
The room was super huge with a big bed sitting in the middle of it, the walk in closet was painted cream and it had a lot of butterflies that I guess glowed when the lights are off.
The walls were painted a light shade of purple, I opened the bathroom door and my mouth almost dropped, there was a glass door separating the shower and the tub, while there was a huge mirror sitting close to the sink, it could actually show my whole body.
I had never had a bathroom so big before.
I closed the door and walked into the living room, my luggage was there, true to what Gladys told me.
I quickly checked them for my important things and thank God they were there, I unzipped my dress because I was getting uncomfortable in it.
I need a shower and rest
But I kept wondering where Jace had gone to.
So they finally get married 😁😁😁
