After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire novel Chapter 4

Ava Della Sanchez

I stood before the altar with Nickolas as we exchanged our wedding vows, my face beaming with a smile. After seeing Sherly at the restaurant back then. I kept it to myself but when Nickolas came pleading, I refused. I can't allow him to be with someone who will destroy him. I know he doesn't know this, but it's better he hates me than ruining his future. Going down memory lane, I can't help but shiver when he swore to make this marriage hell for me. But I know if he doesn't love me, I know my love is enough for the both of us.

I don't know what this marriage has in store for me, I felt shivers when he looked into my eyes then and made me that dreadful promise. It was like I just walked into my hell. But what could I do? I'm helplessly in love with him and besides he's my betrothed, he has a girlfriend yes! But she ain't what he thought. I never want to talk to him about it because he won't give a damn or believe me, I'm just with the thought that everything will fall into place or its own. That was my only hope and prayer. To me, loving him was all I had thought about from childhood till now. God gave me a chance to finally be with the man after my heart and I can't lose that. I believe that the same God will make a way.

I don't know what I'd do if he ends up turning to another person but I still promise myself to stay till he sees and starts loving me. This was a promise I made to myself. I also promised myself to help him regenerate his company but that will be on my own not like he would accept any of my help for the moment. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the priest say the words ''You may now kiss your bride" My heartbeat accelerated, as I looked up to stare at Nicholas who kept an expressionless face. I sighed not being able to read what was on his mind. Time was ticking as everybody awaited for us to seal our matrimony with a kiss.

I felt my heartbeat reverberate, as my palms turns sweaty, I felt sweat trickle down from my forehead and thanks no one noticed, I look down at the floor as tears clouded my sight but I blink them back it's not today, I raise my head to see Nickolas gazing at someone and when I trail his gaze, they landed on Sherly. I bit my cheeks as I saw a victory on her face, I sighed and looked away. I don't know what's going on. Time tickled and passed as the congregation waited for us to see our matrimony with a kiss.

I know that's not happening, not when Sherly is seven feet away from him. I felt him cup my cheeks as I stare up in surprise but my hope shattered when I met an evil smirk on his face, he started leaning closer and the audience giggled as they all await the bonding, I stare into his deep blue eyes as he finally leans closer, his hot breath fan my face I couldn't help it, he's captured my heart back then and now, I melted helplessly into his touch, he knows what he's doing he knows I love him to the moon and back and he's using that against me now.
