• LEXINGTON INSTITUTE •

Darlina approached Triston, who was seated in the cafeteria, surrounded with a swarm of girls. She frowned as she made her towards them.

"Triston," she said softly.

The girls shot her dagger-like glares but Darlina ignored them and stepped forward.

"Can we talk... alone?"

Triston's gaze lingered on Darlina, his expression unreadable. He stood up and faced her.

"I thought you wanted me to leave you alone," Triston said,his tone kinda cold.

"You know I didn't mean that"Darlina Sighed. "I wasn't in a good mood",

Triston's eyes softened. "It was obvious,Are you okay now?"

Darlina nodded her head, her shoulders relaxing slightly.

"I am, I was really angry earlier and I'm sorry for taking it out on you."

"What were you angry about?" he asked curiously,His eyes searchng Darlina's face.

"It's just... everything," she said, sighing out heavily.

Triston's expression softened further. "How about I take you out and we get ice cream to cheer you up? Your favorite?" he asked, smiling lightly.

"We'd get caught for sneaking out"She mumbled.

"The Darlina I know isn't scared of anything,"Triston chuckled and she rolled her eyes.

"Fine let's go"

He grinned widely, wrapping his arms around her shoulder and pulling her close to him and her heart skipped a beat.

"I wasn't mad at you earlier...."He confessed, winking at her.

Darlina's eyes widened.

"What the fuck...So you made me apologise, Asshole!"

Triston's grin grew wider as they walked.

"I knew you'd come around, You can't stay away from me for so long and I know you enjoy my company"

Darlina scoffed, ignoring the flutter in her chest.

"I enjoy your company?"She repeated sarcastically. "Sometimes I feel like strangling you cuz you're so annoying"

"No, You're annoying!"Triston shot back, sticking out his tongue.

"You're such a monkey!"Darlina scowled.

Triston chuckled. "At least I'm not a snake like you!"

Darlina's gasped.

"I'm not a snake! You're a pig!"

Triston grinned.

"Better a pig than a cat like you, always hissing and spitting!"

Why does he always have a comeback for everything!

Darlina's face reddened. "I do not hiss and spit! You're just a big galoot, a gorilla!"

Triston laughed out loud loudly.

"A gorilla? That's the best you've got?"

"You're a rhino, a big, annoying one!"

Triston chuckled. "And you're a kangaroo, always hopping mad!"

Darlina giggled. "That's not even a good one!"

Triston smile faltered.

"You're a... a... platypus!"

Darlina burst out laughing her eyes shining with amusement.

Triston's heart jumped at the sound of her laughter, and he felt happy knowing he'd made her laugh.

He smiled, feeling warmth spread in his chest. He loved seeing Darlina happy and not moody.

< THE NEXT DAY >

• DAWSON'S APARTMENT •

Hazel wore a simple white dress. Her dark hair was falling freely over her shoulders, and a soft pink lipstick added a touch of color to her face.

She hadn't dressed up in a long time, always covering up and when she goes to the office, she wore her normal weird outfits.

Her hair was always in a bun as Dawson always wanted but today she decided to let it down and she couldn't deny the fact that she looked better.

Hazel's heart pounded as she approached the living room, nervous about asking Dawson's permission to attend the wedding. Her palms felt sweaty, and she took a deep breath to calm herself.

As she entered the room, she gasped in horror. Dawson lay motionless on the couch, his eyes wide open. Darlina stood over him, her eyes burning with hatred.

"Oh my god, Lina! What did you do?!" Hazel shouted, her voice trembling.

Darlina's expression was cold. "He's not dead. I just spiked his drink."

Hazel's eyes widened in shock. "You did what?!"

"He won't remember anything when he wakes up."

Hazel's fear turned to shock as Darlina punched Dawson's face, making him grunt in pain. His eyes closed, and Hazel gasped again.

"Oh my god... is he dead?" she whispered, stepping forward to check his pulse.

Darlina scoffed, glancing at him.

"I wish he was but He'll be out for six hours. You can go to the wedding without asking for his permission."

"Are you crazy? What if he wakes up and... oh my god, I'm dead!"

"He won't remember anything."Darlina repeated, standing straight.

"What did you give him, Lina?"She asked, still staring at Dawson's lifeless body and her heart pounded hard against her chest.

Darlina shrugged, her expression very cold. "Just a little something to keep him quiet. Don't worry, Hazel, he'll be fine."

Hazel's eyes widened again. "Fine? Are you insane? We can't just leave him like this!"

"We can, and we will. You're going to that wedding, Hazel, with or without his permission."She said icily.

Hazel's face paled as she stared at Dawson's face again.

Suddenly, Darlina grabbed Hazel's arm and pulled her towards the door. "Come on, we need to get going. My best friend is getting married and I can't be late"

Hazel hesitated, her eyes fixed on Dawson's body. "But what about him?"

"He'll be fine. Let's go."

Hazel felt relieved as she followed Darlina out of the room. She quickly picked up her phone and typed out a text to Liam with a big smile spreading across her face.

"I'm on my way" she texted smiling widely. She couldn't wait to be there already.

She pressed send and slipped her phone back into her pocket, feelling excited and free even if it's only temporary.

• AT A HOTEL •

"R.. Rapheal!" A loud moan escaped the woman Rapheal was f-king lips.

"Ouch! Go harder please!"

"Ughh! Don't stop!"

Rapheal kept f-king the brunette in doggy style and she was screaming out so loud.

Her legs were shaking and she almost collapsed but Rapheal held her firmly f-king her until she couldn't breath or scream anymore.

He was angry, Annoyed. He was going to be a married man today and that fucking made him even more angry.

He didn't want to get married. Not to her. But he had to marry her and she'll fucking regret it.

Rapheal's phone had been ringing nonstop but he didn't pick up,He was sure that it was probably his father or Liam.

Then suddenly a hard knock sounded at the hotel room door but he ignored and continued thrusting into the lady.

The knock continued and he stopped,His expression filled with annoyance and he pulled his d-ck out of the lady who looked like she was about to pass out and then he pulled open the door to see it was.

Liam pushed past him and stepped inside,His expression was filled with disgust and anger.

"What the hell is wrong with you Rapheal? You're getting married today and you're with another woman?"

Rapheal shrugged,His expression unreadable. "I was just having fun before the wedding begins, Don't be such a buzkill"

"Are you kidding me?!" Liam exploded, his voice very loud and filled with Anger.

"Everyone is waiting for you at the altar, and you're here at the hotel on the day of your wedding, f-cking a lady!!! What is wrong with you, Rapheal?!"

The woman still on the bed, looked at Liam with a mixture of fear and embarrassment.

Liam turned to her and glared at her. "Get the fuck out of here before I fucking do something I'd regret"

The woman immediately grabbed the sheets to cover her bare body and ran out in fear.

Liam attention went back to Rapheal who was now sitting on the bed and lighting a cigarette.

He sighed in furstration as he watched him smoke without uttering a word.

"Rapheal"He said his name calmly and sat beside him.

"What?"He mumbled, puffing out smoke of his mouth.

"Everyone is waiting and E.. Elsa. She must be feeling so anxious right now"He stated calmly and Rapheal frowned.

"And does it look like I give a fuck about that? I'm not interested in getting married to her"Rapheal answered coldly.

"Raph..."

"You know i didn't have a choice but to accept to marry her, Father's orders remember?"Rapheal interrupted him,his brows creased.

Liam nodded. "I know but you have to come with me now"

"No"Rapheal blurted out.

Liam stared at him with wide eyes before snatching the cigarette stick away from Rapheal.

Liam's expression turned stern. "Get your things, Rapheal. We need to leave, now."

Rapheal sighed and stood up.

"Fine, let's get this over with."

Liam's eyes narrowed. "You're not even sorry, are you? You're getting married today, and you're still acting like a selfish, arrogant playboy."

Rapheal shrugged."I'm just being myself, Liam. Don't expect me to change overnight."

He wasn't capable of love. He didn't believe in it.

Liam frowned but he said nothing more. Instead he turned and walked out of the hotel room expecting Rapheal to follow him and he did.

••••••

• WEDDING VENUE •

Elsa stood in front of the mirror, wearing a stunning strapless white wedding gown made of lace and satin.

Her curly brown hair was styled in loose waves, and a delicate veil cascaded down her back.

A sparkling silver necklace with a teardrop diamond pendant adorned her neck, completing her elegant look.

She looked really beautiful in her wedding dress and she hoped Rapheal would also like it too.

As she gazed at her reflection, Elsa's lips curved into a soft smile.

Today was her special day, a momentous occasion marking the beginning of a new life, free from her stepmother and sister.

Her thoughts drifted to Rapheal and she wondered why he hadn't arrived yet. Maybe he was being delayed by traffic or still preparing for the ceremony.

Elsa's smile faltered for a moment, her mind filled with doubts about Rapheal's behavior.

Did she make the right decision by accepting to marry him when he clearly doesn't like her one bit?

Would he change? Would he see her differently after they get married? Would he accept her as his wife? Or would he still act cold towards her?

She hoped that marriage would bring a change in him, that he would become kinder and more compassionate.

With a deep breath, Elsa pushed aside all of the doubts and smiled again. Just a few minutes left then she'll be married to her crush.... It still felt like a dream to her.

Her smile fell when Cecilia walked in and she walked towards her,Her Eyes trailing down the wedding gown Elsa was wearing secretly wishing it was her wearing it instead.

"Your future husband still isn't here," Cecilia said, her voice filled with mockery.

"Everyone is beginning to think that he wouldn't come." She laughed morkingly and Elsa's face fell.

"Can you imagine the headlines tomorrow? 'Billionaire Playboy Leaves Bride at the Altar" Cecilia laughed again, smiling widely and Elsa stared at her blankly.

"Angel Raph will not abandon me"She said confidently even though she was really getting worried already about what Cecilia said.

Cecilia was surprised to see her talk back at her.

"So you can talk back at me now?,You think you're above me now, just because you're marrying Rapheal? Newsflash, Elsa you're still the same pathetic, weak little girl you've always been. Useless and pathetic, Never forget that"

Elsa said nothing. She suddenly felt like crying.

"Why would Raphael even show up and Marry someone that he doesn't even like? Huh. This marriage is all nothing to him,He will never even like someone like you..."

The door burst opened interrupting Cecilia's words and they Both turned to see who it was and it was Elsa's stepmother.

"Are you ready?"She Asked coldly and Elsa nodded immediately.

"Rapheal has arrived and everyone is waiting for the Bride"

Elsa's face lit up with a mix of relief and happiness as she heard the words "Rapheal has arrived."

Her heart, which had been racing with anxiety, slowed down and she felt a weight lift off her shoulders.

A warm smile spread across her face, and her eyes was filled with excitement.

Elsa immediately forgot about Cecilia's cruel words and her own doubts. All that mattered was that Rapheal was here, and they were going to get married soon.

She took a deep breath, smoothing out her wedding gown, and smiled to herself. Rapheal was here. He didn't abandoned her at the altar.

Maybe, this marriage wouldn't be so bad as she had first thought.

Elsa heart was beating fast against her chest as she made her to the aisle with Cecilia fake smiling behind her.

She wished it was Darlina instead but her Stepmother refused so she had no choice but to accept Cecilia as her bride's maid.

Elsa slowly approached the altar, Elsa's gaze met Rapheal's under her veil and her heart skipped a beat as she stared at him.

Rapheal wore a classic black tuxedo. His dark hair was styled neatly.

His eyes were a deep, piercing brown. A small silver stud adorned his left ear, and a delicate silver ring circled his lower lip adding to his look.

He looked smoking hot!

Rapheal's expression was unreadable,He wasn't smiling nor frowning but his face was just blank,His eyes void of any emotion.

He would have still be enjoying f-king that sexy lady at the hotel if Liam hadn't interrupted and forced him to come to this stupid wedding with a dumb bride.

It reached the part where Rapheal and Elsa would exchange their vows. Rapheal's eyes locked onto Elsa's, and he reached out, taking her hand in his as expected.

As soon as their skin touched, Elsa's heart skipped a beat. She felt a jolt of electricity run through her body, and her pulse quickened.

Rapheal's hand was warm and strong against hers.

The Pastor's voice brought her back to reality.

"Please, repeat after me," he said, looking at Rapheal.

"I, Rapheal, take thee, Elsa, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part."

Rapheal's voice was low and dry as he repeated the vows, his eyes never leaving Elsa's face.

Elsa felt her heart flutter in her chest as she listened to him, wondering if he truly meant the words he was saying

As Rapheal finished his vows, the pastor turned to Elsa.

"And now, Elsa, please repeat after me. I, Elsa, take thee, Rapheal, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part."

Elsa's voice was very soft as she repeated the vows, her eyes locked on Rapheal's.

The pastor smiled and nodded. "Now, Rapheal, please place the ring on Elsa's finger."

Rapheal's hands were steady as he took Elsa's hand and slid the ring onto her finger immediately. Elsa's eyes widened as she gazed at the sparkling diamond.

The pastor turned to Elsa. "And now, Elsa, please place the ring on Rapheal's finger."

Elsa's hands trembled slightly as she took the ring and placed it on Rapheal's finger. Rapheal had the urge to roll his eyes but he held that urge in.

The pastor smiled. "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."

Cecilia and her mother were both frowning as they watched the two of them.

Elsa's heart skipped a beat as Rapheal leaned in and kissed her on her lips softly.

The crowd erupted into a loud applause, filling the air with cheers and whistles as Elsa and Rapheal kissed.

Darlina and Triston's scream were the loudest.

Rapheal immediately pulled away from the kiss hating the way his chest warmed as Their lips touched.

It was official,They were both now married.

"Welcome to hell Blondie"He muttered under his breath.
