The Arranged Bride

Nick's POV

" Finally my Nicky is getting married. I am so happy." Caleb fake wiped a tear .

" How many times did I tell you not to call me that ?"

He made a thinking expression.

"Probably a lot of times, but I don't think I care . " He ended with a grin.

I rolled my eyes at him.

Everyone was so happy. Mom and Dad were excited to get a 'daughter', Erica was happy to get a 'sister' . Ethan seemed happy too . And the happiest of them all was me .

Note the sarcasm.

Since morning I have been in my worst mood. I feel like I am getting caged but I'm sure as hell that I won't be changing my lifestyle for that gold digger.

The music started playing and everyone turned towards the door expectantly and then....

She entered.

It was so enchanting to look at her in the white dress. The veil was preventing me from having a clear view of her face. She looked up once at me and on seeing everyone's eyes at her, she quickly looked down. Holding her father's arm in a tight grip she made her way to the alter.

I took her hand in mine and she stood in front of me.

It was then that I was able to properly see her face . There was a neutral makeup on her face. I could see her beautiful grey eyes whenever she would look at me only to avert her gaze. Her lips seemed perfect to be kissed.

Really? What am I thinking?

That she is beautiful and perfect.

No she isn't. Just a bloody opportunist.

I stared at her without looking away , I could feel that she was uncomfortable under my stare as she was shifting uncomfortably.

We exchanged rings.

"Do you Mr. Nicholas Daniel Carter take Ms. Sophia Avery Jones as your legally wedded wife to have and to hold, from this day forward , for better, for worse, for richer , for poorer, in sickness and in health , to love and to cherish , till death do you apart?"

"I do ." I sighed and said with a straight face and she again looked down.

"I do " , she took a deep breath.
