EPISODE 2 – Wedding
Oh my god!
Oh my god, what am I going to do?
Am I really going to get married today? I don't know what's happening. The last time I checked, I am just talking with an old lady. There's a light! I saw a light so I had to close my eyes and it ended up pitch black! Then when I opened my eyes, I am already in the year 2021!
"M'lady, you have to prepare for the wedding already..." the servant knocked on my door to remind me of my wedding. My wedding that I don't even remember that I have! I don't even have any idea who the hell is Mr. Williams.
How come I am bound to marry someone without having any idea of his identity? The only thing I know is that he is rich. Rich-rich! I mean, for the record, I found out that he owns this whole penthouse where I woke up. Not everyone can own a freaking penthouse! Only millionaires or billionaires! Yes! They are the only ones who can buy a penthouse for their... girlfriend?
To find out that this penthouse is a gift to me is what makes me feel crazier about it.
I have a boyfriend – no scratch that – I have a fiancé who got me this penthouse as a gift?!
"Are you sure you have the right person?" I asked the servant as she tries to calm me down from freaking out. "I mean... you see, I don't remember having a boyfriend. A rich boyfriend to be exact! So why the hell am I suddenly going to get married?" I know she's probably thinking that I am crazy.
But who wouldn't get crazy?
I can't follow everything that is going on right now?
I know I told that old lady that I want to go to the future but I didn't know that my life literally went from being poor to suddenly having everything!?
"Of course, ma'am, I am sure that we have the right person. You are Madison Taylor, the only person who managed to tame the devil." Then she winks at me as if there's some secret behind that.
And what did she call my "fiancé"? The devil? What? Do they really call their boss like that?
"Ma'am, you really have to get ready now or you will be late." Her tone changed, I think she is getting impatient.
I know it is not her fault, but if I am always making last-minute changes to my wedding, I might have to pay for it.
So getting ready doesn't mean that I need to look perfect or need to spend hours doing my hair and makeup? I don't think I need to put much effort; I am already out.
On one hand, I kind of agree with this maid's reasoning, but on the other, I am not sure how much I like the way she looks or what she looks like.
"Okay, okay. I will just grab a quick bath and then dress up."
What is a quick bath? Is there a shower or a tub somewhere in here?
"Yes ma'am." She nods her head and closes the door after she walks away from me, leaving me alone to myself again.
For the past hour, I was in the room, staring at the mirror. I've always wanted to ask the maid that took care of me, but I know it is rude to ask what she looks like. Plus, you know, like it is like asking your neighbor's whereabouts.
Whenever I get the urge to get out of that room and get to know who lives in this penthouse, I will just look at the mirror and stare at myself. I am pretty good-looking, but not so much. Some would even say that I am pretty and beautiful, but not so much.
My eyes are bright and my skin is glowing and I do not know-how.
I think I am beautiful and I am glad that I look like that when I am in the future, but is this the real me in the future? And why am I marrying someone all of a sudden? Are we in love? I don't understand. Because obviously, this isn't an arranged marriage as I don't have the penny to offer.
When I got out of the bathroom, a bunch of makeup artists, wardrobe experts, and everything went to me to start preparing me for the wedding. They surely did their best to make me perfect!
The wedding dress was perfect for my body. It is so pretty. It fit and it looked amazing. My hair did come out a little from my updo. But it all turned out great. The staff was great and they all made it fun. I could not have been happier with my experience.
I started myself in front of the mirror, watching how they turned me into something so magical. My long black hair was curled into beach waves and they put red lipstick on my bow-shaped bow making me look like some goddess. I blinked my eyes and watched how the combination of brown and orange was perfect in my color hazelnut almond eyes.
I was walking out of the mirror, leaving it in my dressing room to the maids, but I couldn't help but stare at the image in front of me again, watching how beautiful I was, the long black hair curling waves on my shoulders, the red lipstick on my small bow lips, the brown almond eyes with the small bow on it, and the combination of green and orange looking very good in my hazelnut almond eyes.
That's when I heard a voice calling my name "Miss Madison, we have to go now,"
I looked back and the maids standing there looking at me with my hair, lipstick, and bow. I sighed and followed the maids out of the dressing room, into the living room where the driver who is going to pick me to go to the wedding venue is waiting for me.
I was surprised to see that there are a lot of securities that are going to escort me. But I tried not to mind that at all, I just need to calm down and try to figure how I'll deal with all of these when the wedding is over.
In my mind, I've prepared a lot for this wedding and my mind is all set on how it will be later when the wedding is over. But you know what's wrong, I can't really find any time for myself.
I looked at one of the security and he gave me a smile "You look wonderful as always, M'lady..." he said.
I noticed how all of them either addressed me as madam or m'lady.
We got into the venue and there I met some of the people who claimed to be my friends. They even called me 'Taylor' as if that's my code name or something. They all look expensive and good-looking, I tried to act as if I know all of them and they looked pleased to see me.
And then the ceremony was about to start so they went inside the venue already. The wedding is happening in a beach resort. All the guests are already in the venue and they were waiting for the main act.
There are a lot of people watching and watching while waiting for the wedding ceremony. I don't have any idea about the person that I am going to marry right now. What if people are just lying on my face and making me feel like everything is normal but the truth is they are just manipulating me?
The music started playing as soon as the door was opened. I looked around and noticed how beautiful the setting was. Everyone is dressed in fancy dresses, and I've seen that some of the guests are from wealthy families, politicians, actresses, and other successful individuals. What exactly is going on?
I sighed deeply, knowing that I shouldn't do anything funny.
But before I could take any more steps, not even get a chance to see what my fiancé looks like. I stopped.... I froze on where I was standing.
I saw how the other guests began to whisper and wonder why I was not moving. I'm feeling a lot of pressure on my body, and I'm not sure what's going to happen next.
"I'm sorry..." I said to everyone and turned my back and started running away.
Everyone gasps and I even hear some people yelling my name, but I'm too rushed to really stop and consider what's going on.
I can't get married today.
I have to figure things out first!
I can't believe I am now a runaway bride!
