Chapter 318 - Three Hundred And Eighteen: Comfort Before Charisma (1/2)

The third point of view:

”What pleasant weather today,” sounded a nonsensical voice by her side.

Isabella rolled her eyes, the universe was really testing her patience by sending this foolish male specimen by her side today of all days.

”What are you doing here?” she hissed out upon seeing Julie at the church and to make matters worse, was sitting beside her. The nerve of him to sit here since that particular spot was reserved for family. Well, unlike her other sibling who had assumed one role or the other at the wedding, Isabelle opted out.

Ailee was the flower girl while Allen was grudgingly the page boy - Reina had threatened him into accepting that role. Neon was the only one who seemed happy with his page boy role, and no, they weren't the ring bearers. Reina was smart enough not to put that important task into the hands of those mischievous devils.

Pedro was chosen to be the ring bearer while Anabelle joined the bride's grooms and Isabella chose to wish them well by the side.

”Did you think I would miss such an important day like this?” he winked and leaned closer to her, ”You're my fiancé, anywhere you go, I go,”

Suddenly, Isabella reached out and grabbed his chin tightly yet the boy didn't show a pained expression, instead he was amused.

”Thank your lucky God there are people around?” she spat.

”Why?” he smirked, ”Are you thinking of doing dirty things to me,” He asked seductively.

Isabella scoffed, she could not believe what she just heard. How could someone be this shameless? That low tactic would have worked on her but having lived with her casanova father, Niklaus all these years, she was immune to all of their underhanded wiles.

Julie was elevated, he was confident that he would win over Isabella's heart in no time. With his signature move, what girl would not fall for his charm?

It was this ridiculous thought he had in mind when Isabella suddenly pulled him closer, to the point that their lips almost met. His face flushed, eyes widening slightly. Was she really going to kiss him here? And why was his heart beating so fast? Why was she suddenly beautiful?

His mind flew out the window and just when he was confident the girl would kiss him, Julie felt a strong pain in his below and looked down to notice the girl had grabbed him so damn tight it hurt. Oh please, mother of God!

”Listen to me,” there wasn't a trace of warmth on Isabella's face, and that joviality in her tone was long gone,

”Try anything funny with me and you'd be surprised how fast you'd lose your balls, fiancé,” she finished with heavy sarcasm and let go.

Julie went beet red on the face, he was in so much pain but he couldn't dare to speak it out, else people ask questions and he begins to tell them the shameful story of how his atrocious fiancée almost crushed the source of his future generation. It would be so damn embarrassing. So he chose to keep his mouth shut and suffer in silence.

Isabella breathed in the fresh air, now the nuisance was well taken care of, she could enjoy the wedding properly. In reality, she was just anxious to see Pedro turn up. The boy has been avoiding her lately and thanks to the wedding preparation, both hadn't time to solve the conflict between them.

However, today Isabella was determined. Even if it means chaining him to herself, she'd do it - hopefully? God damn it, this confidence was a parade. She was so damn nervous. What if she and Pedro never get back together again? Forever? She didn't like the sound of that.

Everyone's attention was grabbed when the choir began to sing the wedding song just as Niklaus and Eden walked in with grandfather. Though the man was old, he didn't need the help of a walking staff and escorted his grandsons down the altar with pride.

Isabella stared at her father, surprised at the nervousness on his face, unlike Eden who seemed more comfortable. Tsk Tsk, she clicked her tongue disapprovingly. That old man better not have second thoughts about this wedding!

Niklaus and Eden took their place at the altar while Grandpa came to sit at the right side of the aisle in the front role.
