Chapter 5 ABANDONED BRIDE

ISABELLA P.O.V

I didn't expect my world to crumble in one single night.

One moment I was dreaming of my wedding night and being Xavier's bride, the next I'm holding a medical report..that will completely ruin me.

"Congratulations Miss Isabella, you're two weeks pregnant" the doctor said, smiling and stretching his hands forward for a handshake as he stared from me to Xavier....

If only he knew what was going on, my heartbeat slammed against my ribcage, I glanced up at him, as the report pepper shook in my grip, tears slipping off.

The doctor seems to notice the tension, and withdraw his hands.

I glanced up at Xavier, my mouth quivering and I bit the inside of my shin bone to suppress my unshielded tears.

I finally let the tearful scream out as I saw the look of uncertainty on Xavier's face...

Two weeks ago, I was just a girl who wants her fairytale with her prince charming, here I'm pregnant for an unknown, a victim of Rape.

My body shook violently, as more tears left my eyes..my heart palpitating as I clutch my chest in pain of the weight of circumstance.

Xavier crushed down to my level as he drew me close to his chest..

"I'm not leaving Isa.. we are in this together, I promise to be here for you" he muttered, as his comforting hands circled me and patted my back to his chest.

"it's all my fault, all my fault, I should have picked your call that night'

I heard him lacing blames on himself as he comforted me

I quiver under him, still shaking violently, smut coming off my nose, images of that dreadful night flashes in my eyes......

*******************

Oh my, my

Oh my, my love

I take one look at you

You're takin' me out of the ordinary

I want you layin' me down 'til we're dead and buried

On the edge of your knife, stayin' drunk on your vine

The angels up in the clouds are jealous, knowin' we found

Somethin' so out of the ordinary

You got me kissin' the ground of your sanctuary

Shatter me with your touch, oh Lord, return me to dust

The angels up in the clouds are jealous, knowin' we found......

The grand room glitters under the glow of the chandelier,the air was filled with the scent of flowers and designer perfumes...

Tears slipped from my eyes as I walked down the aisle while the song of Alex Warren was being played, My veil covering my face but the ray flashes of camera from reporters still shone on my eyes.

My gown was long and sweeping the floor, the scent of sun flowers covering the arena, there stood Xavier my groom, eyes focused on me, as my breath etched, my chest pounding momentarily.

It's finally happening, I'm finally getting married to Xavier Gustavo, a wide smile spread across my face as Xavier held my hands and led me to the altar....

"Isabella Santos, do you take Xavier Gustavo to be your lawfully wedded husband? Do you promise to love and cherish him, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, for better for worse, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him, for so long as you both shall live? The pastor officiating asked me.

My eyes moved momentarily, gazing at the crowd, my bestfriend Camille was smiling graciously, my mom with a proud look and of course a heavy make up dulling her face, I could see Xavier family scornfully looking at me.

My attention went back to Xavier as I stared at him lovely...

"I DO.. I muttered firmly, smiling.

The same question was asked to Xavier...

I stared at his face, my chest beating, I couldn't fathom the expression on his face..

"NO" he mumbled out

Cold sweat dripped off my head, I felt trapped in his cold eyes staring at me, feeling numb.. probably he didn't hear the priest, shaking my head to keep myself awake.

"I'm sorry Isa, I can't father another man child" , retreating his hands from me.

I stood numb, blinking rapidly to wake up from this trauma, my skin itchy as I couldn't fathom what is going on, my breath etched,and I could feel a big lump hanging on my throat, I broke out into a maniacal laughter and I desperately held Xavier hands.

"You're joking right?.. You promise to stay, You can't leave me Xavy, Xavy....

"It's not funny any more Xavy!!.. people are watching.." holding tightly to his hands.

"I'm sorry Isa"....he slipped his hands off mine turning his back at me and walked off...

The crowd stood bewildered wondering what was happening...

My chest slammed like a volcano, my blood drained out, I stood motionless as I dragged the veil off my face, reporters lights flashes on my face dragging who's going to drain me out first.

Checking the crowd now, mummering everywhere..

Camille struggled with reporters/paparazzi to get to me, My gaze caught Ma Hilda with a triumphant smirk on.

Xavier left me, like he left me, the weight of what was happening just landed on me as the feeling of nausea hit me.

I dreamt too big, what made me think I can get into the Gustavo family?. But Xavier loves me. This unwanted bastard growing in my tummy ruined everything.

"Xavier!" I screamed running after him with my wedding dress rubbing the floor along with me, I'm not going to let go of him.

I ran out to see his car already gone, but I kept running to an unknown direction like a raven mad woman, I stumped on a stone and fell down.

It's time to end it. I said when I saw the bridge ahead of me, I can't live without Xavier and the humiliation is too much.

" Goodbye world" I screamed before jumping off the rails,with my wedding gown flowing magically in the water.

I smiled widely when I felt the cold water caress my skin while sinking deeply in the sea, the feeling of peace embracing me.

Finally I'm leaving this unfair world. In my next world I wish to be born rich, and be a wealthy heiress. I smiled and closed my eyes to accept my faith.

I felt cold hand grab me, dark brown eyes, pointed erect nose, full brows the most perfect face I've ever seen, probably the angels has come to take me, I smiled out before losing to unconsciousness.
