The WEDDING is still on
"Whatever"she mumbled and slowly wapk back to her seat.
Struggling not to glance at his reflection on the mirror, she pretended to be applying makeup.
Andre walked slowly behind her, she noticed and her heart started pounding heavily.
"I have tried hard, harder and given it all to make us work, I won't lose myself to please you Arianna".
His voice came roughly.
" If this is indeed what you want, if this will make you happy then I am all about it...I will be leaving the country for good, it will help me heal...about my child...it will be better if you don't mention me at all".
He stated.
Arianna's brows arched tightly.
"Don't worry ,I won't,he will have a better father after all".
Andre forced a smile and nodded his tongue rolled inside his mouth in anger.
"Good luck".
"You too".
Arianna replied.
He slammed the door loudly making Arianna jump a little.
She pressed her lips and closed her eyes tightly.
Andre walked towards the hallway then he stopped, to jam his side fist on the wall beside him.
"I am such a coward to believe in love".
He walked to the sitting room and found his mother and Mr Hitler staring at eachother like arch enemies.
"Where are you going? I saw the maids carrying your stuffs to the garage"
Andre's mother asked after she noticed his presence.
"I am leaving the country for good,"Andre mumbled.
"Leaving?"
His mother asked, surprised.
"Not so fast, you have to wait until your brother's wedding,no one leaves this Mansion".
Mr Hitler interrupted.
"And who are you to control my life?"
Andre snapped,eyes red and dark.
"Andre"his mother tried to hold him but he aggressively shoved her aside.
She got her balance and gasped at the shock, turned to watch Andre stormed out of the room.
"This is the problem you left with me".
Mr Hitler said to Julia.
"He is an adult, why control him like a child!"
Ms Julia snapped.
"That's all you have to say about his arrogance and stubbornness?"
"No matter what he do, you will always see him as a bastard you never wanted, let him breath Hitler, how can you force him to attend the wedding knowing fully well how heartbreaking it will be for him, you let Evans marry her because you want to hurt him, what did he ever do to you!"she snapped crying.
"And this is coming from a mother who abandoned her toddler for a dick".
"At least I am here for him now, unlike you …all you have ever done to him was to cause him pain".
***
Few minutes later, Arianna came out of the room, looking bright and happy like an overjoyed bride.
The cameras turned to her direction not missing any moment as the "here comes the bride" Instrumental sound was played by live pianists, violinists etc.
When she walked down the aisle, she could recognize a few faces from the last time.
She looked like an angel in the pearl peacock design gown
Her gracious gown was selected by Evan's stylist, the most expensive wedding gown ever.
"You look beautiful,"Evans whispered.
"Thanks".
She smiled and drew a deep breath with her eyes closed.
The wedding ceremony started fully, Andre was sitting at the last bench, a stone from the entrance.
All the time of the sermon he kept his head bowed and eyes closed tightly. Yet he wasn't free from the torture as the moments he spent with her keep hunting him.
"I do"
He heard Arianna replied to the Priest.
"Will you Evans Hitler take Arianna as your wife?"
The question was directed to Evans, Who smiled and was about to answer when Andre got up from where he was sitting at the back and started heading out.
Evans noticed and asked the priest to hold on.
"What's wrong?"
Arianna whispered.
"Andre!"
Evans called out.
Arianna's heart skipped, she glanced at Andre, who paused at a pace, his two hands folded into a fist behind him, shaking uncontrollably as he tried to control his emotions, he really do not want to listen or hear anything his brother who hated him so much had to, it could be mockery but as much as he hates it here, his legs felt incredibly heavy to lift off the ground. And his head dizzy could fall if he forced himself to move.
"Just a minute Andre!"
Evan's voice came loud again.
All eyes went to Andre then back to Evans, whispers and curiousness written in the faces of the guests. Arianna was silent and confused, she glanced towards the guests murmuring, she recognized Tianna beside her mother,then the faces of Mr and Mrs Hitler as her heart raced.
"What…what are you doing Evans?" She whispered at Evans nervously.
"Arianna, you have the last chance to choose, I promise to be the best husband to you if you make me, your choice but I will advise you to follow your heart…Don't make a mistake you would die with,..do you really love me and wish to spend the rest of your life with me".
"Evans please don't embarrass me,not again, let's get married,I don't care".
She whispered in sobs.
"...I will give you at the count of 10 to reconsider" Evans announced loud as ears could hear ignoring her plea.
"What the hell are you talking about! Go on with the wedding, this is not some child's play"Aliecia yelled.
"Keep it shut Alecia!"
Evans snapped at her.
"1"
Evans glanced at Andre then back to Arianna, her hands were shaking as she gripped tightly to the banquet of flowers.
"I still want to marry you" she mumbled, head bowed, unable to look him in the eyes.
"2....3....4...5...6....7...8...9...."
Everywhere was silent as a grave.
".....10"
Evans concluded slowly, he was surprised like everyone else as gasps and whispers filled the air at the final count.
Arianna had made her choice known to all.
Andre smirked, and swallowed uneasily as tears came into his eyes, his vision blurred,he raised his feet to take a step forward.
But then he started hearing clap sounds, his heart pounding heavily paused for that minute and his eyes widened.
He heard someone running behind him and a seconds later, that hug from the back gave him chills, he closed his eyes and tears rolled down freely, two hands by his sides that were folded into fists released slowly.
"I am sorry, forgive me Andre,I am so sorry".
Arianna cried heavily on his back, messing her makeup on his suit.
