Chapter 1
Not that i believed the rumors, but they did affect me. I wasn't scared because people said that his the devil. A knock on my door interrupted my thoughts and shorly after my mother came in. It's time; she informed me.
I descended the stairs, carefully not to fall or stumble, but it was hard with the long dress and heavy jewelry, i was relieved when they was only a few steps left, but just then i stepped on my dress and stumbled forward, almost falling before a firm hand came around my waist and saves me from ruining myself on my wedding day.
Straighten myself, i looked up to who had dared touch me not that i minded, i was just curious. Looking up my eyes met a pair of blue eyes, they had the colour of the sea or the sky. I had never seen eyes like that before .
Are you alright my lady asked the man in front of me with a frown.
Who was this man i had never seen him before he was tall, broad shoulders with and his long black hair that fell over his shoulder, you could tell by his cloth that he was rich. Could he be one of the invited guests who came to attend the wedding ?
Yes am fine thank you,i replied he turned and elagantly left.
That one good fine man, said lydia, i stared at his back while he walked away.
Yes very good looking, but i was getting married and didn't have the luxury to look at other men.
The ceremony will begin greeting exchang between the groom and the bride and the families. Lydia gave me a reassuring smile before am left to walk alone inside.
Taking a deep breath, i strode into the hall carefully and immediately all heads turned to look at me, i walked with my head high and gaze low, only looking at the floor untill i reach the alter.
My mother smiled at me and my father was unbothered that he was marry me off to a total stranger, ignoring my father i went ahead i rubbed my hands nervously because the knot in my stomach had returned with full force, i wanted to look up but i was afraid.
What if i didn't like what i saw? what if the rumors were true? So many what if running through my mind. Don't be ridiculous i told myself and decided to take a look .
Slowly a glanced at the alter as my heart hammered in my chest and i gasped..
Wait
This was the man with the blue eyes, he couldn't be the groom, could he??
I walked towards him, he didn't utter a word, i don't think my father evNJer mentioned his name, but i don't think i gave him the chance to either. I had fought and cried the day my father told me am getting married to a stranger, but my father was sturborn and had already made up his mind.
Don't you like the music ? He finally asked breaking the awkward silence. "I do , i replied . Staring him in the eyes , i found him directly staring at me with a smile on his face.
Now it was time for the exchange of gift .We exchanged gift and it waz time for me to go to my new home
