- Preparations
Last night, I went straight to my room as soon as heard the family had arrived. Honestly, I didn’t feel like listening to their reproaches, so I decided to wait until morning Mam is most likely very upset Dad is more respectful, so he wont say anything At least not to me
I see it’s eight in the morning and get up. I decide not in shower until after breakfast. The truth is, I’m starving I put my robe over my pajamas and go out. As Im going down the stairs, I hear the agitatedivorces of Mom and Dad, who are arguing
“No! I can’t let it go. This was the last straw You asked me to be tolerant of them but I thought Liam would analyze things will and realize in the end that it’s Annie he loves. But no. Now it turns out they’re officially dating and getting married soon. Don’t ask me to accept it, because it’s not possible”
They haven’t seen me
seen me come down, and they continue talking
“Calm down, honey You’ll hurt yourself. We can’t do anything if they’ve already decided. They’re both adults, and if they really love each other’s better to let them li then lives as they wish After all, Annie isn’t here, and I think she’s resigned herself to it. If you don’t want to support them, at least let them do things their way in the end it’s their life and if they mess it up it wont be on us!”
Mom fall lent and stops arguing with Dad. It’s always been like this. While she’s usually the strictest and most demanding with us, Dad is the one who remains neutral but makes people see things his way I can say that I admire and love him because he’s truly been a father to me
“Alright. I won’t say anything else. Thope that when they realize the mistake they’ve made, they won’t blame us for not dissuading them Mom sits down in her place and begins to eat slowly
They’re done arguing so now I just wait a few moments to make my presence known.
“Hi, good morning” I greet them cheerfully, they both turn to look at me, but after a moment, Mom turns her head and now focuses on her plate. Dad gives me a slight smile and returns the greeting
“Goodmorning tweetheart. Are you hungry?” I sit down and lean in to give him a kiss Mom is upset but lets me kiss her too.
The tension is palpable, so when Nanny, the housekeeper and cook, approaches to ask if I’m going to have breakfast I try to speak playfully
“Yes, Nanny, please. I’m starving” I make a circular gesture over my stomach, but unlike before, no one smiles. I see that things are worse than I imagined
“Well, I’m off to the hospital. We have a shareholders‘ meeting today With David withdrawing his capital, things got a bit complicated, but it seems there are already interested investors. Til see you both after noon Dad says goodbye, and I’m left alone with Mom. She’s still upset but speaks to me calmly
“Can ask why they did it? Why choose that date specifically in front of the whole family? I knew she was going to ask me that. But I’m not going to come out looking bad I know they won’t ask Liam, and anyway, he’ll always take the blame for me
It wasn’t planned. Liam thought it would be a good time since everyone he cares about was there. Now I know we made a mistake, and shouldn’t have supported him.” My face morphs into one of deep regret. They always believe it
“It was embarassing for us. But it’s both of their fault. If he suggested it, you should have said no.” She sighs and closes her eyes. “But what’s done is done. I can’t say that the disappointment I see in her eyes doesn’t hurt me. But it’s always been like this. Despite having given me so much love and treated me like a daughter in her eyes, that Annie was always better and more importent Everyone, absolutely everyone, loves her above all else.
Im sorry Mom If you need me to tell Liam that will go apologize to everyone personally Two tears fall from my eyes. She looks at me, but the understanding she once had is gone.
“I’s okay. Just leave it.” She’s about to get up, but before she does, the questions me
“Have you decided what you’re going to do with your life? You don’t want to study. What about working? Aren’t you interested?” look at her unsure if I should tell her that I’m getting married in a week. It’s better to keep it a secret.
I think that would be best. But I havent decided anything yet.” She nods and finally gets up. I let her go and hurry to finish my breakfast. When im done, I quickly get up and go take a bath. I’m going out to look for things for the wedding. I think it’s best if no one comes with me, or they’ll try to find a way to stop it.
I’m at the best mall in the city Lasked my friend Sunny to come with me She’s one of the few friends I have, and sh
always been a very loyal ally.
“So you want me to be your witness. Okay. But I think you need someone else, although I can ask my brother, and your boyfriend will need his too” I hadn’t thought of that, but I’m sure he won’t sort it out. He has a lot of friends, so he can ask anyone
“Yes, you and your brother are fine. But come on, help me find a wedding dress” I take her by the arm and burry her along. Vie amve at a boutique and choose the most beautiful and fashionable dress go to the fitting room to look at myself. It’s not as extravaganta Ann’s, but it’s very pretty and perfect for the ceremony it’s only going to be acid ceremony, but that’s not important. What matters to me is that everyone knows that I’m not going to be denied that “do laugh to myself. The look an that fool’s face was priceless. They were supposed to have inated only a few people, but I took it upon myself to talk to a couple of media outlets. They look photos videos, and posted them all over social media. Haha I’m a genius Everything turned out exactly as imagined And her running away was the icing on the cake
Finally I decide on the dress I take out the card Liam gave me a few days ago. He told me there was no problem with spending what was on it. I know he eams quite well and has some shares in the hospital. My mother’s words come to mind. Actually, I would like to work, I’m going to be very bored stuck at home. At first, I try to be moderate in my life so Liam world say anything but later, with more confidence, go back to being the same girl who enjoys life. So, if I have a job, I can have the perfect excuse to leave the house. I ask Dad for help finding something through his friends or acquaintances.
With that thought in mind. I happily go to choose a few more things I stop at a jewelry store to choose the wedding hands. Even though there won’t be a religious ceremony I want to have the rings and take a nice picture. IIII look great on my social media. Hahaha.
