Chapter 134: WEDDING DAY

Her adoptive sister should be grateful that Hailee,  at least invited her to this event. Even extending the invitation to Theodore. And oh, his family too ...

Meaning, later Hailee would meet with Mr. and Mrs. Gevano. If everything had gone according to plan and Theodore had not delved into an open affair, then they would both have become Hailee's in- laws by now.

And Hailee couldn't be more grateful than this for Theodore to have an affair with Aileen and thwarted her nightmare, otherwise Hailee wouldn't have gotten a brother- in- law as cute as Lexus.

Lexus walked across the room and approached Hailee, he then raised his arm so that Hailee could take it.

"I am sure after this, you will be the one that the women out there will hunt," Hailee said.

"Oh, I have always been chased by women, so that's not news to me," Lexus replied proudly, but a second later he was grimacing in pain because Hailee was pinching him. "But you should be careful, because Ramon's changing status doesn't necessarily make the women out there stop their attempts to climb into Ramon's bed."

It was a brutal fact and Lexus had no intention of embellishing his sentence to convey it to Hailee because the gist of his words was so real.

Those women wouldn't stop ... Giana wouldn't stop, just because Ramon married her.

Well ... that is another harsh reality, which Hailee would have to face. But, as long as Ramon didn't want them, then there was nothing for Hailee to worry about ...

For now, that was enough ...

"Ready?" Lexus asked and Hailee took his arm.

"Yes," Hailee replied.

"Okay, let's see how Ramon reacts when he sees you in this wedding dress, I made sure the people who would film that particular moment to focus their cameras on the changes on my brother's cold face." Lexus had indeed ordered this many times, so that no moment is missed.

"He saw me in this wedding dress already," Hailee reminded him.

"Yes, but without the tiara, make- up and guests filling the hall, it's different, of course." Lexus stated and Hailee grimaced.

"Thanks for reminding me the number of guests that had come," Hailee felt her heartbeat quicken again.

"You are welcome." Lexus grinned widely.

And they both stepped out of the room, toward Ramon who had been waiting for his woman.

============== 

Honestly, Hailee didn't know what to expect from this wedding party. She had indeed been told that the invitees had filled the hall which could accommodate at least a thousand people and in truth, that was only half of what Lis had planned to invite.

However, after several considerations and time constraints, for which Ramon strongly refused if this wedding party were to last three days and three nights, Lis was forced to cut short the guest list she prepared.

It's just that, this actually made this wedding party a prestigious event, where socialites will show off their invitation cards and are so proud to get such limited invitations.

That said, there wasn't a single person who was insignificant in this wedding party.

Therefore, it is not surprising that so many journalists flocked to capture the moment, even though most of them could only cover from outside the building, because there was only one news station that was allowed to capture the main event and that was a news station of which the Tordoffs are a shareholder.

So, one can imagine how this marriage could look from a business standpoint, where the shares of all the companies that were in contact with the Tordoffs jumped dramatically before stabilizing over the next few days, making their shares the highest after the marriage of Giana Dawson and Aidan Smith.

Hailee, however, is not at all curious about any of that, because what she has to deal with now is more important than all the rising numbers for the stock, which she doesn't even understand.

Previously, Lis had indeed invited Hailee to see the final decoration of this wedding hall, and at that time, Hailee was so amazed by the luxury and elegant touches in each of the adornments that were installed.

Hailee and Lis agreed to use gold and brown as the theme for the party, which made the hall look like it was furnished with gold strokes and added a grand and prestigious element to the wedding.

Meanwhile, Ramon, left everything to the two women and would agree no matter what color they would use, because he knew, Lis couldn't possibly suggest extreme colors or create anything beyond their taste for his wedding with Hailee.

And Hailee, who appeared in her white dress, made a beautiful contrast with the rich brown and golden colors surrounding her.

So that when she appeared on the opposite side where Ramon was standing, all eyes immediately focused on her.

She is very beautiful and charming ...

Just her presence was able to make the almost low voices around the hall, slowly, disappear on their own, being mesmerized by the bride.

"Uncle Diego ... don't let me fall ..." Hailee whispered softly to the man accompanying her, while she grasped his arm firmly, almost gripping it tightly with a vice like hold.

"I won't," Diego whispered back to his nephew, bracing himself and walking with a steadier stride, escorting Hailee to the man who had been waiting for her.

Hailee is grateful that her uncle is a military officer, because just by standing by his side, Hailee felt like she could rely on him, to catch her if she makes an embarrassing move or if her legs don't cooperate and agree to spoil this moment.

"Your parents would both be very happy if they were to see this," Diego said, turning his head and looking at Hailee with teary eyes. "No, they must be looking at all of this from up there ..."

"Uncle ... don't make me cry ..." Hailee bit her lower lip, trying to hold back the tears that were about to spill when Diego talked about her parents.

If there is a moment when Hailee misses her parents the most, it is; this very moment. Because her father should have been the one standing beside her now, to hand her hand over to Ramon Tordoff.

Diego smiled fondly at his nephew, then he rubbed the back of Hailee's hand which was on his arm. "Today is your happy day, if you remember them, then think that they are also happy for you."

Hailee took a deep breath and nodded slowly, after which she raised her head and found the figure of Ramon standing at the end of the red carpeted path, Hailee had to walk now.

Hailee did not let herself focus on the invited guests who stood on her left and right and chose to look down a little, staring at her feet, focusing on the way she walked so that her beautiful wedding dress was not stepped on.

However, as soon as Ramon's figure was within her line of sight, Hailee seemed bewitched and couldn't pay attention to anything but the nearly perfect man who was waiting for her.

Hailee had seen Ramon in his black suit before the two of them went for fitting their wedding dresses together for the last time, but looking at the man now, was completely different.

Dressed in the same outfit, Ramon stood under the soft light shining directly on him, while the surrounding lights became dim. The same beam of light, which accompanied Hailee's journey toward him.

Making them both the focus of the hundreds of pairs of eyes that were around.

Hailee felt her heart beat faster when she saw Ramon's dark eyes, as if just by looking at him, Hailee could forget her nervousness from the attention of the crowd around them and focus her attention solely on himself.

How could this man have had such an influence on her?

Or maybe Hailee just got carried away? Whatever it was, Hailee just wanted to enjoy this moment. The moment she hoped would only happen once in her life and that this man would be the one to accompany her later until they grew old together.

Okay, Hailee is getting a bit sentimental because of all the attention she's receiving and the images of happiness dancing in front of her eyes.

Oh, if anyone asked her when she fell in love with Ramon Tordoff, then Hailee would say that this is when she fell in love with this man.

Not only did Ramon save her, but he also provided protection and colors to her day, and taught her so many things so that she could open her eyes and see that the world was not as beautiful as it seemed.

It's just that, Hailee knew that she would always have Ramon, a person she could depend on and someone who will protect her when the world outside becomes too cruel for her to deal with.

Isn't this man so perfect?

At least Ramon is perfect in Hailee's eyes for now.

Without being noticed, her slow steps, accompanied by Diego, finally lead Hailee to Ramon.

The man stretched out his hand and Hailee had to take a deep breath, to calm the roar in her chest, before she took the man's helping hand, releasing herself from Diego.

"I leave Hailee to you and I hope you will never disappoint her." Diego's voice was stern, but full of mixed emotions. He felt as if he were sending his own daughter to a new chapter in her life. Of course, this made the military officer a little emotional.
