My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

In a Church with exquisite set-up, there were several beautiful and delicate flower children a smart and respectful priest.

Every preparation was perfect, nothing less.

But there was no guest at all, only a lineup of maids and serious-looking bodyguards.

It was a luxurious yet quiet wedding.

Benjamin held Florence's hand; she was forced to follow his footsteps on the red carpet until they arrived in front of the priest.

Without further ado, the priest rushed into the most important part.

“Mr. Benjamin Turner, will you take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death part you?”

Benjamin smiled brightly and said, “I do.”

The priest nodded and turned to Florence.

“Ms. Florence Fraser, will you take this man as your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death part you?”

Florence bit her lips and stayed silent with a stiffened face.

The smile on Benjamin’s face lessened.

The priest noticed something odd and repeated.

“Ms. Florence Fraser, will you take this man as your lawfully wedded husband?”

Florence remained silent emotionlessly.

Benjamin frowned in displeasure, he approached Florence and threatened.

“Say you do.”

Florence mocked, “Everyone here is your man, this is nothing but a show, why should I pretend and say I do? I’m lazy to entertain you, you are despicable.”

Her words were like a slapped on Benjamin’s face.

The priest turned a little nervous and looked at Benjamin in puzzlement.

Although he was paid to be here to complete the ceremony regardless, but he didn’t want to break the local tradition and religious rules, and “I do” from both the groom and bride were necessary.

He looked at Benjamin in confusion and said, “Mr. Benjamin, please talk her into it.”

Benjamin was annoyed; Florence had never once listened to him.

Even now she was still held captive by him.
