Chapter Twenty

The next day... 

Wedding day. 

I slowly opened my eyes. As my vision cleared, I was greeted by the sight of several servants standing by my bedside, their eyes filled with excitement. I turned my head and there it was, a beautiful white long dress, carefully laid out on my bed.

"Oh." I thought to myself.  

They gently took hold of my hand, leading me towards the bathroom. Everyone around me was buzzing with excitement for the upcoming big event. However, deep down, I couldn't help but wish that I could share in their enthusiasm. As I shifted my focus to applying makeup, my mind became consumed by a single question: "What's your plan, Ron?" As I walked into the bustling room filled with make-up artists and the excited chatter of people, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness. 

It seemed as though the make-up artists were quick to notice that my enthusiasm didn't quite match that of the people around me.

"Everyone is happy... Except for you. Mind telling me why the long face?"  

"Oh, I'm just overwhelmed. I guess, I just feel like I'm too young to get married." I lied. 

The person I had always envisioned as my future partner, the one with whom I had dreamt of sharing a lifetime of love and companionship, will not be the one I marry. As I reflect upon this unexpected turn of events, I can't help but wonder how my path has shifted so drastically from the one I had imagined. The dreams I once held so tightly in my grasp now slip through my fingers like sand, leaving me struggling. I find myself constantly frustrated by the realization that I possess the power to control the path of my own life, yet I am unable to do so.

"Once upon a time, there was a man named Mylo. He had a reputation for being heartless, but I want you to know that there was more to him than met the eye. Despite his seemingly cold demeanour, Mylo actually cared deeply for those around him, especially for you. I couldn't help but overhear the hushed whispers of the servants as I passed by. They were talking about Mylo. A lot may happen to you when you're young. Even if you don't want this right now, you should realise that there's a purpose to everything. Being close with the Moriartys has given me the opportunity to see Mylo's excitement for the first time."

"Why are you telling me this..."

"Because I am aware that you and Mylo have been friends since childhood. When Mylo was a kid, he would return home with a huge smile on his face and boast about how you guys played with his toys. He would make sure to tell everyone and everything about it. In a nutshell, he never seemed to stop talking about you. Did you know that the toys that you used to play with are still in his possession? Mylo claims that if it weren't for the toys that he has, you would not have been able to meet each other. There's this one time he fell asleep on the couch. I looked closely and saw that he was holding something. I squinted my eyes and saw that it was a picture of you. I attempted to pull it out of his grip since it was about to be destroyed. I was ready to remove it when I heard him say something. I assumed he was awake at first... But he was just sleep talking."

"What did he say?" 

"He said that, I hope you'll choose me, I love you (Y/N)."

My heart broke out into a million pieces. I hope that I could show him the same amount of love that he is showing me. I just cannot do it since he is not the person I love.

Fast forward to the ceremony. The air was filled with excitement as I stood at the entrance, waiting for my signal to make my grand entrance. The room was decorated with elegant decorations, creating a magical atmosphere. The soft glow of candlelight added a touch of romance. I have to admit, I've never felt this pretty before. As I look around, I can't help but notice the visible excitement radiating from everyone around me.

I have no doubt that Mylo was aware, deep down in his heart, that I do not love him. On the other hand, he continues to be standing on the altar with a big smile on his face. I am in love with Ron and not with Mylo. Despite the fact that I am aware of his feelings for me, I can't help but think that it must be quite depressing for Ron that the person he loves will marry someone else and not him.

As for me, I never get to be the person with I love because Mylo has something against me. I know I can easily abandon the necklace of my mom and choose Ron. But, I just simply can't. 

But I have trust in Ron, and I believe that he has a plan.

Damn, this ceremony is such a drag. 

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to join Mylo Moriarty and (Y/N) Spade in holy/matrimonial union. Today, they will publicly declare their love and commitment to each other through the exchange of vows.

"Dear, (Y/N) My love for you has no bounds as I stand before you, and I have been blown away by the extraordinary path that has led us here. You have my word that I will always be here for you, supporting you, and cheering you on. I promise to be there for you when times are tough, to share in your joy and comfort you when you cry.

My vow to you is to stand by your side as we construct our dreams, to encourage you to aim high, and to help bring in a future filled with joy, laughter, and boundless opportunities. Your aspirations are now my own, and I will spare no effort in making them a reality.In you, I have discovered a place to call home. Our house will be a haven of comfort, acceptance, and love, I swear to you. I will be at your side to celebrate your victories, console you in your sorrows, and build a home full of love and laughter just for the two of us."

I'm fucking hungry. 

Damn, I didn't prepare any wedding vow. 

"I vow that I will be your partner in everything, and that I will always be there for you, no matter what. You can count on me to make you laugh, to comfort you when you're in need, and to be your greatest supporter. Our lives are going to present us with challenges, but we are going to face them together. I am doing this for the long haul, and I can't wait to experience all of the exciting things that lie ahead." I wanted to cry as my conscience is eating me alive. 

"Do you take (Y/N) to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

"I do." Mylo replied. 

What the heck, the ceremony is finished; does Ron actually have a plan right now? We are both running out of time.

"Do you take Mylo to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

"I-"

As I was in the middle of my words, the door suddenly banged with such force that it made me grasp.

"This is all bullshit!"

My eyes widened. "Ron?!"  

"And why is that?" Mylo faced Ron. 

"Because why would (Y/N) marry the person who murdered her entire family?"
