Prologue
“Do you, Hailey Peters, take Joshua Peterson to be your lawfully wedded husband?” the priest looked at me and I didn’t even blink before I answered.
" I, Hailey Peters, take you, Joshua Peterson, to be my lawfully wedded husband, 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 us part.” I replied unable to control the beaming smile on my face.
My Mr. Right, soon to be husband, was standing right in front of me looking so sexy in his black suit. What more can a girl ask for than to be married to the person she loves the most? Joshua has always been there for me. I love him and he loves me. That’s all that matters right now.
“Do you, Joshua Peterson, take Hailey Peters to be your lawfully wedded wife?” the priest turned to Joshua waiting for an answer. I kept smiling at him hoping it was some kind of encouragement to his nervousness. My smile slowly faded as I realized what was happening. My worst nightmare came crashing down before my very eyes.
“I..I.....I can’t...I....I’m sorry.” he stammered and ran out of the church.
Broken-hearted couldn’t describe what I was feeling. I felt as if someone just ripped my heart open with a knife and pulled it out then smashed it to tiny little pieces watching as it splattered on the floor.
I blocked out the uproar of noises and drown in my pool of tears. Everyone watched me with regret and pity. The one thing I hated the most was pity. I screamed and pelted my hands everywhere ripping my dress and trashing the whole place.
I was an ugly mess. My makeup smeared all over my faced mixing with tears.
I hate him! I hate you Joshua Peterson and I will never forgive you!
I swear on my life!
