C22 An Epic Wedding

Harieth Zarie Fedencio POV

"Y-you?" Shock was written all over my face.

He smiled at me. "Youngest!"

"B-brother? Why? What? They say — the police."

He laughed, so my eyebrows met.

He approached me and took both my hands before removing the handcuff lock on my hands.

"They're really crazy. Ryker said make a way for you to get here, but he didn't say to scare you."

"Brother? How did you get the key? Then where are they?" I looked around to find the Police before, but they were gone. "Then what's going on?"

My brother's face darkened when he saw the bruises caused by the handcuffs on my hands. "Shit! Arnold really pay for this, for what he did to you."

I winced, it's their fault I was scared too much before.

He gasped. "First, I met Arnold, and he gave me the key. Second, they're already at the venue."

Huh? Venue?

"Third, come on, Ryker is going to die as nervous because you haven't come yet." He laughed out loud, so I was surprised to look at him.

"Where is he?"

He pushed me to the eighteen Zest-O statues, it was equal both side that acted like a passage to somewhere.

"You'll know it, youngest. I'm so happy for you."

Huh?

I stopped, so my brother also stopped when we reached the entrance. I was surprised by the set-ups around. There is a red carpet in pink sand.

How did the soil turn into pink? Only now have I seen pink soil on the beaches. Pale cream, caramel and golden sand are the only soils I saw on the beaches.

I was devastated when everyone was smiling, looking at me. Left to right are the chairs, each chair has a person. Ahead of it was the Monterealez family; Mom, dad, their four sons who are also with their wives who have big bulges in the abdomen. I turned to the very center of the foremost where there was a table in the middle. My lips parted in shock when I saw a Priest and even Ryker was there as he smiled broadly at me.

"B-brother? Don't tell me I'm getting married?" I asked him, but my eyes went straight to Ryker.

"All right, I won't say, youngest."

I grabbed my brother Kenie's arm and I stepped back twice. I heard the sighs of the people in shock at what I had done and their whispers as Ryker darkened his face and stood still in my reaction to retreat. He emphatically close his fist.

I turned to my brother and shook my head, his lip parted upon my reaction.

"Youn-"

"Brother Kenie!"

I don't want to get married like this!

The guests were whispering loudly, so we could hear them.

"Doesn't she want to get married?"

"Oh, it's broken, it's a mess."

"Ryker's fiancée is still young."

"Looks like she doesn't want to get married."

"Shut up! General is going to be here."

My brother and I looked at Ryker as he started to walk to our place. He looks straight at me, he gives me a bad look, his face is dark, and his jaw was clenching. I stepped back again, so his face got even angrier.

"Zarie!" He called out to me when he came in front of us.

I bit my lip so hard and tears welled up in my eyes.

"Baby-"

I hit him in the stomach, which made everyone sigh. "I HATE YOU!" I accuse him.

He puffed on the inside of his cheek before to speak sarcastically. "So what if you don't want to marry me? I'll lift you up and drag you in front of the priest just so you can say I do." He said emphatically.

I hit him again in the chest. "IT'S NOT THAT!" His lips slightly parted. "YOU'RE ANNOYING! YOU DIDN'T SAY WE WERE GETTING MARRIED!" I burst into tears and held out my hand from head to toe.

I really hate him. I'm angry!

"I JUST WAKED UP WHEN YOUR PEOPLE CAME AT HOUSE, SO I WAS STILL WEARING MY SLEEPWEAR. WHAT? I'M GOING TO GET MARRIED WEARING MY SLEEPWEAR?"

Everyone laughed at what I said except to Ryker who dropped his jaw on me.

"B-baby love."

"YOU'RE REALLY ANNOYING, I'M ASHAMED OF WHAT I'M WEARING!"

He laughed and scratched his neck. "Sorry, baby love, I'll make it up to you at our next church wedding."

I stared at him. "R-really? We will have another wedding?"

He smiled before giving me a quick kiss on the lips. "Yes. I want to marry you now, so you don't really get out of my life."

The people who witnessed our wedding shouted loudly.

"All right! All right!" My brother pushes Ryker. "You go back there, and we'll walk."

Ryker nodded and ran back to the side near to the priest.

My brother supported me until we got to Ryker's opposite.

"Take care of my sister if you don't do your job as her husband and if you hurt her we will run away again." My brother threatened him before giving my hand to Ryker.

Ryker smirked. "If you can keep her away from me."

My brother shook his head before smiling and tapping Ryker's shoulder.

Ryker imitated me in front of the priest. Everyone is happy with our wedding. They shouted with joy as Ryker and I said 'I do' to each other. When the ceremony landed on the wearing of the ring. Ryker picked up the ring to wear on me before taking my hand.

"I promise — FUCKING HELL!"

The fun disappeared from Ryker's face. His face darkened. We sighed at Ryker's shouting and cursing. He had a bad look at my hand, so I didn't think I would look at my hand either. I was swallowed by my own saliva when I saw that my hand was now clearly see the bruised on my white skin due to the handcuffs earlier.

Ryker turned to Arnold. "ARNOLD! WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER? YOU SON OF BITCH!"

We laughed when Arnold hid under the chair, I even turned to the priest who winced at Ryker for cursing.

I pinched Ryker on the side, that's why he moaned in pain. I sniffed and waved my hand. "All right, Ryker, put the ring on my finger, so the wedding can continue."

He sighed before looking at Arnold badly again and facing me with a big smile. I also smiled at him before nodding.

"I promise baby love that you and you are the only woman I will love until death. I will take care and love you with our future children. This ring is the sign of my love and a sign of my faithful to you without limits."

I smiled at him before taking the ring and wearing it on him. "First, thank you for coming into my life- in our life. This ring is a sign that for the rest of my life until death, you.... and only you will be the ones I will love. You and our future kids. I love you, so much. "

"I love you more, baby love."

"I now pronounce you husband and wife," Said the priest. "You may now kiss the bride."

I felt a deep kiss that Ryker made. The surrounding people applauded loudly.

Finally! Our wedding is over. I can now drink a Zest-O.

I pouted. Why? My baby in my tummy and I are thirsty.
