Thinking of how all of this came to be I felt a painful burn in my chest, choked by my own tears I could only wonder, why I am being punished in this way? What have I ever done to deserve all of this ? "My lady, your all done, and may I say your the most beautiful bride I have ever laid my eyes on". I was brought back by the voice of my handmaid Jenna, she has served since i was a little girl, to put it correctly, since we were both little girls, her mother has served my family for many years, so I and Jenna, although in different statuses, basically grew up together, she's always been more than a maid to me, but still refuses to call me by my name and I can't blame her. One must never forget their place, or they may wind up losing their life for it, even, I have quite the character and when I'm angry I can't differentiate between my friends and my foes, on a bad day, even she could be a victim. I turned to the mirror, I thought Jenna's compliment was just her trying to make me feel better, but seeing myself, I was astonished. My dark hazel eyes were complimented by my long black lashes, naturally perfect eyebrows carved to a state of magnificence, my full pink lips had been painted a devilish red and my skin, shining as though it were the sun itself. Covered in jewels from head to toe, in the most breath-taking wedding gown I've ever seen, instead of the normal white, it was a light shade of mint green. Only, it was so big and puffed up that I wondered how I was going to walk. 'Ding, Ding , Ding' I could here the sound of church bells and they only turned me even more anxious. "My lady there is no need to be worried, your are going to be the best wife in the entire universe". I know that was supposed to be a compliment, but I just couldn't help but hear the sadness in Jenna's voice, "thank you Jenna" and when I turned around I couldn't help but be shocked, because for the first time in my twenty one years of existence, Jenna hugged me.

I was seated in a white carriage, that was surrounded by numerous carriages, all heading to the church and once again, left alone, the only thing I could think of was how things ended this way , but there was no time to sulk for it felt like I had just gotten in the carriage as we arrived at the church. I got down from the carriage with the help of my maidservants. Looking up at the church, I knew there was no going back. Standing before the church doors, the music began to play as the doors opened revealing me to the crowd . And the first face to greet me was that of my father, never has his smile disgusted me more. " After today, I can say that I really have seen an angel at church" he said, this wasn't the place or time, so I just smiled and while putting my hand in his said a, " Thank you father" . He returned the smile as he led me down the isle , under my veil I could feel gazes studying me, judging me, watching to know if I was worthy of this man. While all I wished for was to wake up from this nightmare and when my father let go of my hand I realized that I was looking at my groom face to face and never in my entire life have I been this stunned. I knew he was good looking, but the man before me was breath taking. His eyes were crystal blue, that went perfectly with his hair that was a golden blonde, his lashes longer than my own, his skin held a smoothness one could only achieve with a face full of powder, such a definite jawline and his lips a light pink, and when he smiled, I could feel my knees go weak. Maybe, it won't be so terrible after all, and the wedding ceremony began , during the ceremony I began to have a bad feeling, like someone was watching at me. Of course hundreds of people were watching me, but this look felt different, it was calling me, I looked towards the church doors. And beheld the person who's eyes called mine, it was a man for sure, suited in all black, but he was too far for me to see his features , all I could see were his black soulless eyes, I was terrified. And just then I felt him pull me closer and the soft touch of his lips on mine, when did I even say 'I do', but when he pulled back and smiled, I felt my tummy tingle. 'Loud cheers and applause' sounded through the church as the priest said "I now pronounce you husband and wife" as I turned back the church doors were closed, closed as if they had never been opened and my mystery man had vanished. Immediately I was taken to a room in the church and my dress was changed to a less puffy satin red gown for the wedding party and I was escorted to the carriage where surprisingly I saw my husband. We just got married and we shall ride together, this was not going to be easy.
