Chapter 3 Three

AURORA'S PoV (wedding day)

I felt blood rush to my head for a split second the moment I stepped into the arena. The song immediately changed to "Here Comes the Bride," he moment the DJ caught sight of me, and instantly all eyes were on me and I swallowed, hard. I never for once thought that this many people would be at my wedding.

My wedding. The thought felt foreign, almost like a fantasy, yet it was all I spent the last week preparing for.

I barely did anything but show up, but that too felt like I climbed two mountains in a day, everyday, for the past week, and that's particularly because someone whom I desperately wanted to avoid was always there.

My eyes unconsciously flew to hers, and just like I expected, she was shooting daggers at me. Sweat immediately pooled in my armpits, and I quickly averted my eyes from her.

Her words rang in my ears, and I clenched my jaw tightly. If I could I would have listened to her, but I can't. I was in no position to listen to her. I took a very deep breath, and began walking to my groom, who looked like he was tired of waiting.

I felt her gaze boring into my soul as I advanced closer to the pulpit, but I forced myself to keep her at the back of my mind.

Just for two years, I'll just have to put up with it for two years. After that... I released a deep breath and gently placed my hand on Mr Rodrigo's, I'll honour her request.

The music slowly died down, and the officiating priest took over. He expertly saved us from exchanging vows, which was undoubtedly Rodrigo's doing, and in a few seconds, a ring was placed on my finger and I was now officially Mrs Rodrigo.

"You may kiss the bride" I heard the priest say, and my eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. Why on earth is he not skipping that? I glanced at Mr Rodrigo for help, but he was already staring at me, looking disinterested.

There's no way he's going to do that, right? I turned my gaze to the priest, and he wore a smile on his face, and when he noticed my gaze, he simply motioned for us to go ahead and instantly, a familiar scent hit my nose.

I whipped my head towards his direction, and Mr Rodrigo was practically breathing my air. I made to recoil, but he instantly placed his hand behind my neck and pulled my closer. "Just close your eyes" he whispered, when he was just an inch away from my lips and like a dummy I snapped my eyes shut, and waited for the kiss, but it never came, instead I felt his hand disappear from my neck after a brief second and the crowd began cheering.

I immediately opened my eyes, and he was already facing the crowd with what I'm sure he thinks is a smile, and I felt the tips of my ears go red. What the hell was I expecting?

"I now present to you, Mr and Mrs Rodrigo" The priest announced, and the crowd went even crazier, and we both just smiled at them.

"In exactly 30 minutes, I need you to come up with an excuse so we can get out of here. The longer we say, the more opportunity they have to pry something out of us. Is that clear?" He glanced at me and I nodded. "Use your words"

"Oh... Yes, it is clear"

"Good, now let go and greet some guests"

He intertwined our arms together, and waltzed off. We walked up to the first people, and just like I suspected, he easily dominated the conversation. It felt surreal when he introduced me as his wife, and I kept stealing glances at him to make sure all this was real.

"I would tell you to stop looking at me, it's creepy, but then it sells the image of a lovestruck wife"

"I wasn't looking at you!" I immediately retorted, trying to defend myself but he just looked at me blankly, and I instantly felt stupid. How could I lie about something so obvious?

"We are going to greet one more person and I need you to come up with an excuse at the appropriate time, okay?"

I was about to nod in response, but I quickly caught myself and mumbled, "okay"

We were just about to walk towards the said person, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned and my heart sank into my stomach. Mrs Rodrigo was right behind me, shooting daggers at me.

"Alexandro" her thick Spanish accent sliced through the air, and Mr Rodrigo hummed in response. "Can I steal my daughter-in-law away for a few seconds?"

I instinctively leaned into him and tried to take shelter in him, but he wriggled his hand out of my hold. "Nothing more than 5 minutes, mum " he said and I almost started crying. Didn't he hear the venom in her voice when she said Daughter-in-law?

I was about to come up with an excuse to avoid leaving with her, but my throat dried up when she grabbed my hand. "We won't take that long. Right, Aurora?" Her eyes lowered to mine and my knees suddenly felt weak. "Let's go" With her firm hold on me, she dragged me towards the bathroom.

Once we got to the bathroom and she confirmed the coast was clear, she pushed me against the wall and a whimper escaped my lips. "The name Rodrigo was too good for you to give up, right?" She sneered.

"You think you won because you have his ring on your finger now, don't you?" She took a step towards me, and I pressed myself against wall, hoping that somehow more distance would be created between us. "It's always the lowlifes! Always the freaking lowlifes"

Tears brimmed in my eyes at her words, and I bit the insides of my cheek. "Alexandro deserves so much better, he doesn't realize it but Jessica is one of the few befitting for him and just when things were about to go right, you just had to poke your ugly head!" She jabbed her two fingers at my forehead, and I winced.

"Three months. I give you three months to put an end to this sham or else..." She swallowed her words once again, and with one last distasteful glance at me, she stormed off.

The tears finally rolled down my cheeks, but I immediately wiped it away. "Three months" I whispered and turned to the mirror, and my reflection horrified me. The makeup was all over the place.

I quickly washed it off, and dried my face. "Three months" I repeated and forced a smile on my face.
