Chapter 37 - What happen?

"I do."

A round of cheer and applause can be heard the moment Alicia said 'I do'. It was deafening with laughter and tears of joys that can be seen on Mrs Xander's and Delilah along with her two best friends. She, on the other hand was kissed by Tristan when everything is all done. With that kiss, it complete the whole wedding process. If one would look closely, she still in a dazed with what happen after she took her bath. She remembered when she took her bath, she was planning to prepare her second battle with Tristan after her mind is clear. Who knows the moment she put one foot out of the bathroom, she was dragged by her two best friend and threw her to the person in charge of her makeup and wedding dress along with hair stylist. She tried to protest and stopped them but their politeness in declining her request is making her dumb. Thus, she forfeit since she couldn't vent her anger to just anyone. She needed to speak to Tristan. Who knows after they are done with her, her best friend, Delilah and her mother decided to entertain and keep her company without letting her out of sight. In a blink of an eye, she was escorted to the beach that has been decorated so beautifully with numerous of people sitting waiting for her. Her father took her hand and walk her down the aisle. At the other end, she could see Tristan looking dashingly handsome and manly waiting for her which immediately distinguish the anger that she have been keeping in ever since this morning.

Right now, in the arms of her husband, they left the scene to change to another dress and suit for their wedding banquet. Husband, such a strange and uncalling word. Never thought it would exist in her life. But looking at the man who's holding onto her arm, she have to admit he was someone that she imagine a husband of hers would be like. Domineering and firm to his own decision. Which spells trouble for her. What is she going to do about her mission? This is such a crucial time and she's getting married to him. She need to find a perfect time to tell him.

"How did our supposed to be discussion turn into a real wedding? And when did you plan this? You didn't even tell me but you told my family and others? That's not how it's supposed to work Mister." She questioned him as soon as they reach their room. Tristan looking like he achieved something that's worth it and didn't care much about her question. Instead, he hold her shoulder so that he can see her beautiful face in the wedding dress that he chose.

"We can discuss after our wedding. It's not too late. We even have our lifetime to do so." He said nonchalantly. She rolled her eyes upward. The deed is done, why in the world they need to discuss more. They're already man and wife. Her actual plan to delayed the wedding for at least three years or one year. Just to prepare and make some adjustment to her other secret identity. Without spilling it. But right now, nothing works out. She just had to deal with whatever it is. And she needed to inform Master Nil as well. He probably know it by now. But she's still unsatisfied with this man who just do as he pleases.

"Will you always make a decision for me in the future? I'm not an invalid person who's unable to make my own decision you know. Everyone seems to be aware of your plan but why is it i'm in the dark. Am i not your most important person considering we are married now?"

"When it comes to our wedding, yes. You're the last person to know considering how stubborn you can be. I'm guessing if i were to ask you, you would delayed the wedding for a year or two. Which i'm not going to compromise. But when it comes to anything else, you will be the first person to know anything about me or whatever it is that you wanted to know. And when it comes to your well being, i will interfere as much as i want since i am not happy with what i saw the day before. You were inviting trouble with the way you act." He started to frowned when he remembered the exhausted look on her face when she walked out of the hospital and dragged herself to her house.

"But that is what i do. It's my job. That day just happen to be my hectic schedule." She retorted. Trying to stand up for her careless decision.

"By working more than three days non-stop?" He asked which causing her to choke on her own futile effort. She's in the wrong in this matter. Thus, she can't really rebuked his question.

Tristan sighed seeing her looking down playing with her fingers.

"Marrying you is not about taking away your freedom nor stopping you doing the things that you love. I get that you love your job. But Alicia, i love my wife more. I want to grow old with her until our hairs turn grey, i would be holding her hand if she can't see well and she would shout at me for my poor hearing. I have everything that i want but what my heart desire is grow old with my wife and look after each other when we're both sick. That is why i am not happy when i see you digging your early grave by working like that. I still have plans for us. Until our body rot and left with bones. Do you hate me for forcing you to marry me?" Tristan looked her in the eye wanting to find answers that he needed.

"I don't hate you but there's something that i've been hiding which is why i needed time to sort it out." She answered without any hesitation. She wanted to tell him everything. But she fears about his own safety. For now, she needed to settle that MUTINY group. Their target is Princes of Hell and it's not a good thing if the group manage to get what they want from Princes of Hell.

Hearing that, Tristan accepted her reason. He decided to wait for her to tell him more about the things that she hid from him. Without anymore delaying, they changed their clothes and continue to their wedding banquet.
