Chapter

ROSETTE'S POV:

It was the day of my doom.

Two weeks had passed since everything had happened. Today was my wedding.

Yes, you heard me right, the day I had spent my entire life imagining, the day I had dreamed would have been perfect was becoming like this.

I was about to marry Caelum white , the ruthless, heartless stud of the city. Well why?

Because one time in my entire life I had tried to stand for myself , and that went so terribly wrong that today I am sitting in a chair wearing a white dress, imagining the horrors that he will inflict on me.

I looked at the photo pendant that hung from my neck in a short silver chain. Mom had given Belle and me pendants when I had turned 14, mine had a rose and inside I had fitted an old picture of mom , and Libelle had a Dragonfly on hers, her name means dragonfly in German. I looked at my mom's picture.

Would he be worse than Eric? Would he rape me? Will I be able to say no? Will I have any right to say no?

After he had announced to my entire family that we were in love, everything had turned upside down.

After Five minutes I was supposed to go out and be lovey-dovey with him. The media was here, so were big business men.

I was debating whether or not I should ask dad to walk me down the aisle, when I heard a knock on the door. "Hello gorgeous" came a familiar voice.

I looked in the mirror and our eyes met. I couldn't hold it in anymore, I ran into his arms. Fuck the maids in the room or the CCTV camera's.

"Rowan" I whispered.

"shhh... you don't want to walk down the aisle with all your makeup withered out do you." He patted my head gently.

I didn't let go of him, because if I was to dive into that hell hole a moment later, then I needed this. I needed him. I felt like the little girl of six running blindly in a meadow chasing butterflies, knowing that they will disappear after the summer.

Rowan had known me since forever, however long that was. He had been the only person who knew how broken I truly was yet had held my hand. He had been my brother , my rock and god knows what not.

I wasnt ready to see the life I wasn't allowed to live get destroyed. I wasn't ready, not yet.

I wasn't ready to go out there and marry Caelum.

My life was ruined, all due to him. I hate him.

I always will.

CAELUM'S POV:

Standing beneath the arbor of roses and mistletoes, I couldn't help but think if I was doing the right thing

Cole had asked me yesterday when I had asked him to be the best man If I was doing it because I hated her or wanted to acquire her. That question was still haunting me.

CAELUM'S OUTFIT:

Why was I doing this? Was it because grams had been forcing me to get married? Was it because I wanted to ruin her life? Or Was it because of her?

Cole was standing next to me, I looked at him and he shrugged lightly as if saying "I don't know what you are doing man."

Then came in Libelle, she was holding a small basket full of rose petals, she was the flower girl, she was smiling scattering rose petals on the way. But when her eyes met mine, she flashed me her brightest smile, as if meaning to say "Take care of her please".. what an innocent girl she was, she really thought her sister is getting married to the one she loves?

LIBELLE'S DRESS

Then I saw her.

Rosette.

She was looking just fine as hell, I know I shouldn't be thinking that, but she looked stunning. She wore a fairy gown with balloon arms and the dress hugged the curves of her upper body beautifully.

Her makeup was more or less still natural but today her lips were stained a darker shade of pink. Her hair was done in a half-crown that let her curls fall till her waist. and her veil was embroidered that was a little longer than her hair.

In short, I wasn't sure how to take my eyes off her.

ROSETTE'S DRESS

But then my eyes fell at the man walking her down the aisle. He wasn't her father. He looked familiar.

That's when Cole whispered "Rowan"

WHAT?

What was Cole's brother doing here, walking my bride down the aisle?

She looked at him with so much love in her eyes that for a second there I considered punching him, I looked at Cole, he looked more shocked than me.

Rowan and Rosette reached the arbor and he placed her hand in mine, and whispered, "Cherish her."

His amber eyes catching the sun rays looked concerned and warning. It seemed as if he knew everything about this marriage.

Rose looked at him before stepping up the two small steps. He gave her a smile and nodded softly.

Her eyes came back to me. The look on my face must have scared her because even beneath all the makeup I could see her face go pale.

I had hundreds of questions, and I would make sure they were answered.
