Chapter 231 - Two Hundred And Thirty-one: I Do (1/2)

The third point of view

Some say the best day in a woman's life is her wedding day but that wasn't the case for Emily.

”Oh my God!” Her makeup artist squealed in excitement,” You are like the most beautiful client I've ever attended to. Your skin is so fresh and smooth, I don't even think you need much of this cosmetics,” she gushed while applying mascara on Emily's eyes, unaware that the girl was miles away from reality.

Today was finally D-Day, her wedding day, roughly a month after they got their marriage certificate.

Emily was officially two months pregnant but she had a slim frame so the slight bump in her stomach wasn't that obvious- only the seamstress could tell.

Today was supposed to be a happy day for her but her mood said the opposite. Emily had not received what she was expecting, not in this marriage with Ahmed.

The man was good, sweetening good, but it finally dawned on Emily, Ahmed saw her as a task he had to shoulder- which had to do with his past.

She was his wife and he took care of her not because he loved her but because she was his to take care of. Perhaps, others might not see that as a problem but Emily needed someone that she could communicate with on an emotional level and not just someone who made sure to provide all her needs.

It made her feel like she had returned to her father's cage but this time with a different person and reason. Adam had pampered her to the core because she took after her mother and this time, Ahmed was pampering her rotten because he didn't want her to make the same decision his mother did.

”Love would come naturally, love would come with time,” Emily kept telling herself but inwardly, she had an inkling she was deceiving herself. This ...this…

”Ooh, you must be so happy you're moved to tears,” The makeup artist mistook the reason for the abrupt tears.

She was so damn alone! There wasn't Niklaus to support her nor was she getting married to Judy and was pregnant with a baby with a not so bright future!

Emily cried harder.

Right now, the stylist was at a loss for words, this no longer seems like tears of Joy, her client was crying?

”Stop crying, you would ruin your makeup,” she pleaded as Emily wiped her face frantically.

”I'm trying but these tears just keep falling,” She complained, still wiping her eyes.

”I don't know what's tearing you up, but this is your special day. What would you do if the groom walks in and sees you like this?” The beautician cajoled her.

For some reason, that comment riled her up,” I don't care! You know what? I don't think I can continue with this wedding!”

”What?!” The woman was shocked.

”I don't need this!” With a clean sweep, the makeups on the dresser were moved to the ground scaring the woman.

”I don't need you all! Get out! I don't need any of you..!”

It was at that moment that the door clicked open and Cecil walked into that scene.

”Oh my God, Emily!” She ran to the emotional mother, engulfing her in a hug while gesturing the stylist to give them some space.

”It's okay,” She patted Emily on the back as she broke down in tears.

”I want my mother,” She wept further.

This was the first time Emily made such an outrageous request. Her mother had died when she was young and she couldn't even remember what she looked like, if not for her picture hung on the mantel plus the constant reminder by her father that she was her replica.

Why had she requested that? Emily had gone to many wedding ceremonies and seen the way mother's supported their children. She needed that kind of support right now.

”I just want to end this,” Her shoulders shook with her sob.

”What difference would it make? Emily, you're married legally to him already. You just need to be strong for the sake of your baby,” she comforted the poor girl.

”I'm just so scared,”

”It's okay to be scared. It's alright, dear. I've got you,” Cecil tightened her hug while Emily rested her head on her shoulder, bawling her eyes out.

They remained that way for quite a while until Emily couldn't cry anymore.

”It's everything alright here?”

Both of them pulled away with a startle when they heard the deep voice resonate in the room.
