Chapter 514 Chapter 514 Honeymoon
Little giggles were heard and even the old priest in the center was slightly taken aback with the astonishing words spoken by the bride.
The man in question kept his cool and his smile even grew broader akin to a lion on the brink of devouring its prey. The bride to be could not help but give some credit to Paulo for that at least.
Taking this short interlude of mixed shock and laughter, Natalia continued.
"Paulo... My husband to be. Although you are the most incorrigible person i know..." and then the soft laughter that was abruptly paused in the beginning had truly begun to make some noises around the dim of silence.
Natalia did not finish her words to bask in her wise retort.
"What a daring daughter in law! HAHAHA! I'm sure Donya Nelya will have her hands full in this one!" Some even threw audible comments around that further intensified the fit of jollity from the guests.
The priest coughed once but he did not interfere, judging that these curious words were only prelude to the best ones to come next.
This old priest could never get tired of the surprises brought about by the young.
These new generations would do entrances like barbaric dancers with twirls and lively jumps and the vows would even get more aesthetic with flowery words and sweet promises.
Only to get divorced a year later. At least this one was a different breed of pledge altogether. The old priest sighed and waited a little bit more.
"Ehem..." Natalia cleared her throat to silence the rowdy crowd on the seats. This time she poured her heart out and imparted both fears and expectations.
"You and I have not met under usual circumstances." Natalia started.
With the given scripted vows scrapped, she continued while looking at the eyes of the man who returned her serenity with his unblinking stare.
Yet Natalia felt neither the joy nor the pride of having been held within the comfy interior of this room.
The carefully picked colors and the vivid allure that would usually entice her senses seem numb to any stimuli at the moment.
Even a costly treat such as this Royal Suite that took a toll of almost a hundred grand per night appeared dull and too unbecoming of its exaggerated price.
"What's the matter? I thought that this would have a dream come true for you." a voice broke the silence.
"..." Natalia chose not to answer as what she only wanted to do at the moment was cry her heart out.
It was breaking.
She felt the bits fall so mercilessly, deep within her, that nothing in the world would have saved her of the misery of what her life might be from tonight onward.
She was in pieces but persisted to hide her pain in front of the man who was the very cause of her suffering to begin with.
"Or were you expecting that our first night together would be spent on a honeymoon cruise around the world? Hek. Tough luck, my dearest witch." the voice said again after it was ignored for no more than three breaths.
"Why? Why did you agree for this to happen, Paulo?" Natalia asked instead and same as the last, was deaf to the usual spite that came out from the hurtful mouth of the man.
No, her husband. She corrected herself sadly.
"Why indeed. Perhaps I just wanted to help you for a change, Natalia. Have you ever thought of that for a moment?"
Paulo asked softly that Natalia could not help but raise her head to look at the man who was busying himself with a bottle of wine in his hand. He was built tall and big.
Even the lavish tuxedo he wore has not succeeded in hiding the solid frame that was subtly hinted behind its dark material.
And his tired countenance only added a primal and a raw appeal to the most hateful person she knew.
'And I had just married this arrogant prick today? How did my life turn out to be this way?' Natalia shook her head slightly to erase the distracting memories of her past from intruding on her present.
