“Rosa, you should get ready… We will be leaving in few minutes…”
Rosetta’s aunt Olivia said.
Rosetta nodded and gestured Jackson to come out, away from her family.
“Is everything ready…”
She asked. It was her wedding day and she wanted to keep security tight. Vlad was definitely upto something.
“Yes, I am personally paying attention to it… Don’t worry, enjoy your wedding day…”
Jackson assured.
“I just don’t want anyone to get hurt…”
She sighed.
“No one will… trust me”
Jackson replied.
“Rosa, what are you doing?… We will be late. We have to get you ready after reaching there…”
Olivia said in panic.
“I am ready, let’s go…”
Rosetta replied.
“Like this…”
Olivia looked at her up and down with disapproval.
“Go and wear the dress which I chose for you… You are the centre of attraction today, everyone will be taking your pictures. Whole media is waiting for you. You are not coming like this…”
She scolded.
Rosetta sighed.
“You know I don’t care about it…”
Olivia widened her eyes.
“Babe”
She walked towards her overdramatically.
“Babe, we just got viral pictures of Prince of the king family, who is none other than your future husband… And look at him.”
Olivia exclaimed.
“He is looking like a Greek god. All girls in comment sections are jealous of you. Look at those muscles, damn. You lucky bitch. I swear if I wasn’t lesbian then I would have steal him from you…”
She grinned.
“So, now do me a favor and go change… Let everyone see that bride is dead drop gorgeous… We can’t let team groom win in this… No one can defeat knights in good looks…”
Rosetta sighed and shook her head, her aunt was super excited for this marriage and was hooked to make Rosetta look like princess.
Rosetta went to her room and changed into blue mermaid gown, she quickly did her hair and light makeup.
Her eyes fell on faint red marks, it’s been almost week still those marks wasn’t disappearing. Her skin is pale and those marks are strong. Skyler has left stubborn hickeys behind. Shiver runs in her body whenever she thinks of it. She can still feel his lips on her neck.
after that day she tried to avoid Skyler and thankfully he didn’t come to meet her either. It was very awkward for her.
But it wasn’t concern anymore, what bothering her now is, they have to kiss today. Her heart was hammering while thinking about it. She has never been kissed before. And the thought of Skyler kissing her was doing weird things in her stomach.
Whole week she has only seen him on the news. It’s all over the news that famous batchelor Skyler knight is getting married. Seems like media has taken special interest in him. She saw news of his affairs too, they were showing his ex girlfriends or girls with whom he was caught.
She never thought that Skyler is this much famous.
But she knows that none of it was serious. Skyler is a playboy and Rosetta is well aware of that. Those news didn’t affect her.
She walked downstairs where her family was waiting for her. Her mother was not smiling which she can understand. Rose doesn’t show but she is sad that her daughter is leaving them. Her father was somewhere sad too.
Damian smiled at her.
“Let’s go…”
All of them reached the venue and Rosetta went to the makeup room. She was somewhat relieved after watching the security. It was too strict.
Even media wasn’t allowed inside the gate.
Makeup artists were already waiting for her. Olivia looked at her dress which was on mannequin.
“Oh my my…”
Olivia gasped in awe.
“It’s so beautiful… Look at this masterpiece…”
She looked at the dress which was sparkling under lights.
“I didn’t know you have such a great choice… Well I should have known afterall you chose Skyler for you. Such a handsome man I must say…”
She teased.
“It’s not me… It’s his choice…”
Rosetta replied.
“Smart man…”
Olivia said impressed.
They did her makeup and hair. Her hair was in beautiful bun and her beauty was enhanced with nude makeup. She was looking like a totally different girl.
They helped her in wearing the dress but it was too heavy.
“You are looking beautiful babe… Don’t forget to wear your garter…”
Olivia smiled and Rosetta sighed. Another awkward ritual.
Skyler have to go inside her dress to reach it and it was making her anxious. First time she was feeling nervous about something.
“Miss you can wear your heels now, we are done with makeup…”
One of the makeup artist said.
“Yeah, let’s wear heels…”
Olivia exclaimed. She excitingly grabbed the box.
She opened the box and her eyes widened in shock.
“Oh my god!… Are these real diamonds… Shit, it’s so beautiful…”
She looked at the heels made up of glass and diamond.
“You really found your prince charming… He treats you so well…”
She smiled but Rosetta was worried that how is she going to wear that whole day. Her left leg was injured while practicing and those high heels weren’t comfortable, on top of that she was wearing heavy dress.
Rosetta struggled while wearing it but finally did it.
They heard knock on the door and Damian came in. He was in black suit, age couldn’t touch his beauty. He was looking handsome, too young to be father of three children.
“Everyone out… I need to talk to my daughter…”
He ordered and everyone literally ran outside. Except Olivia, she wasn’t scared of him.
“You too Olivia…”
He ordered and she walked out with sulking face.
Damian looked at Rosetta with glossy eyes.
“You are looking like princess… So stunning…”
He kissed her forehead.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“You are looking handsome too…”
Rosetta hugged him tightly.
Damian helped her to sit down on the chair and sat in front of her.
“Rosa you know how much I love you, right?… You are my life…”
He said and she nodded.
“I am feeling very guilty about marrying you off like this… This deal n all…”
He confessed.
“Are you sure you want to do this… I can still say no to this deal, we can still back up. If you are not ready…”
Rosetta gave him assuring smile. She knew that her father will think about her first. She is aware that this will cost him so much still he was ready to give up everything.
“I am ready dad, don’t worry… You are not doing anything wrong…”
“Is he treating you good…”
Damian asked.
“You know, I’ll be always there for you. You can come to me anytime. You are not alone. I’ll be always behind you to support…”
“Dad he is treating me good… His family is nice. His mother is caring, she loves me… You know her, you two are friends…”
She assured.
“I trust Sarah with you, she is a good woman but I am not sure about Skyler… I don’t know if I am doing it right, he don’t deserve you…”
Damian sighed.
“He is respectful towards me and I am not weak, you know that… He is not that bad dad, he took care of me that night. He treated my bruises even after mom’s warning. If you are worried about his behavior then please don’t… He is nice to me…”
She replied.
“If you say so… I don’t trust that bastard…”
He rolled his eyes.
“Why you hate him so much?”
She asked curiously.
“Because that little bastard was behind your mother… He used to play with her just to annoy me. Whenever I was with your mother he was always there to disturb us… And Rose love him, she thinks he is a good boy… And now he is taking my daughter away from me…”
He scowled.
Rosetta chuckled.
“You are jealous of him… He was kid at that time. He just admires mom and who doesn’t. Your wife is awesome…”
Damian grinned.
“I know, she is incredible…”
Damian held her hand.
“Let’s go now… If he troubles you, just kick his ass and come back to me…”
He said.
Rosetta smiled.
“Only you can make me smile..”
Damian smiled proudly.
“Of course, I am dad afterall…”
Rosetta held his hand and finally went outside. Her heart started racing when she saw him on the aisle.
