Betrothed To My Sister's Husband novel Chapter 2

[ Rain Anderson ]

"You're going to regret it for rest of your hell life Rain Estella Anderson.I am suggesting you leave the alter and make a wise choice."The most dangerous voice floated into my ear.Each word dropped it's own kind of most venomous poison.

Warm tears rolled down from my eyes , luckily my face was hidden under the transparent veil which supposed to be worn by my sister .

For a bride,her wedding day with her life partner is the most awaited moment but I was dying every passing second.My whole world crashed down and the scary possibilities of what future upholds for me gave a havoc to my anxiety.

"Please repeat your vows after me."Priest's voice stirred the feelings inside my heart.

"I do.."He said in a firm cold voice at the end of the traditional vows.

"Rain Estella Anderson,do you take Nicholas Edward Blackwood as your lawfully wedded husband?"The priest asked me this time.

I dared to glance at his face,the most handsome face ever for an ordinary girl like me but his stony eyes seemed to throw daggers at me.

With shaking body and quickened heartbeats I finally said the two words which were going to bind us together.

"I do."

I took a sharp intake of breath.

"I pronounce you as man and wife.You may kiss your bride now."The priest declared.

I squeezed my eyes shut.I could feel my veil being uncovered slowly.Warm breath touched my forehead and I felt his thumb pressed on my head .For the moment I dared to open my eyes only to regret as his red furious eyes met with mine.

He tilted our faces in a angle that if someone see us from afar,they would imagine us kissing hiding from others' eyes,which in a sense looks romantic.

The hall echoed with the clapping and hooting from the guests who witnessed our mismatched union.

"Welcome to the hell Mrs. Blackwood."A malicious smirk tug on the corner of his lips.

I cursed myself for agreeing to this marriage charade.I am married and that I know my dream of a fairy tale life is officially over.

I chuckled.How ironically the world assumed it was Roselie who was suposed to be introduced as Mrs. Blackwood.

He took a few steps back and climbed down the alter.

Mrs. Sofia Blackwood,my new mother in law helped me to walk up to match his pace in order to save us from rumors.I could feel her comforting hands running over my back.Definately they were saved from a complete humiliation as well.

I became everyone's knight in shining armour!

But in reality I was the damsel in the distress.

"Its time for us to take leave with the new couple John,we have to prepare them for the reception specially my son."My father in law's words pulled every single string of courage inside me.

I saw with my peripheral vision that the father-son duo had a glaring competition.

I was going to enter in the lion's territory where no one would be there to save me from his wrath.

"Nicholas sorry is a very small word for the damage that my daughter has done to our families but I know it is you whom she betrayed and disrespect.I am really sorry in her behalf but I gave you my wisest child ,my Rain,my treasure.She will be always there for you.You can expect loyalty without any return from her.I have only one request.Please keep her happy."my Dad pleaded to him in a very slow and defeated tone.

"I am glad I receive apologies from the people who caused me my life,my happiness.Tell me what have I done wrong to you all?"Nicholas's temper rose that his high pitched yelling depicted .

"Nick behave yourself.He is your father in law.Accept the truth as soon as you can that Rain is your wife now so start a fresh life with her."Mr. Blackwood's hard command echoed in the air.

"I hate you two as well Mom Dad seriously,you find Rose's replacement in Rain.Wow!Somebody can learn excellent business skills from you."He chuckled sarcastically.
