《Hidden Riches》Chapter 54

I stared at myself in the mirror and took a deep breath. "Today's the day" I sighed.
I was in the mansion without Logan today. Logan had been taken away by his pals, leaving me alone with mine. I could hear my friends loudly chatting downstairs. They were just as excited as I was.
My bridesmaids consisted of Beverly, Grace and a few of my close cousins. Grace had taken a break from her honeymoon to come to my wedding. I was so grateful.
Of course, it was easy to assume whom my maid of honor was.
The door to my bedroom burst open revealing her. "Wake up you lazy bum!" she yelled.
"I'm already awake." I said.
"Then lets get ready!" she yelled and ran toward me. She grabbed my arm and pulled me from the room quickly, dragging me down the hall.
"Slow down, Violet!" I yelled.
"No, we must hurry! We have so much to do! You have to get your hair done, your nails done and all that crazy bullshit so we have to hurry!" she pulled me down the stairs and through the living room where the bridesmaids were.
"Your man came by." Beverly giggled.
"When?" I asked curiously. "Did he drop something off?"
"No..." she said, her voice trailing off.
"Then why?"
"To see you,"
"That's against the laws of marriage! We're not supposed to see each other until tonight!"
"Don't worry, we didn't let him in." My cousin April said. "He begged us but we said no."
"Good bridesmaids," I said, rubbing her head. "You deserve a treat."
"Stop that!" She giggled, removing my hand.
"Hannah, your hair appointment starts in 20 minutes. We have to get a move on." Violet urged.

"Okay, okay. Let me get dressed and then we'll head out."

"What's the matter with you? Why are you shaking?" Violet asked.
"I'm just thinking about the wedding." I said, my voice slightly shaking.
"Hey, don't you dare get cold feet on me, alright? This'll be for nothing."
"I wouldn't dream of that, Violet. I have been waiting for this day for too long to back out now."
"Good, but I want you to promise me that you'll walk down that isle." She held her pinky out to me. She wore the most serious face I have ever seen on her. I knew Violet could be mean, cruel and serious if she wanted too but this was beyond all that. She would probably kill me if I backed out.
I held out my pinky and shook it with hers. "I swear on my life that I'll marry Logan tonight."
She smiled at me and nodded her head. "And if you don't, I'll kill you."
"Pinky promise," we said at the same time as we shook pinkies.
Then she and I got out the car and towards a mansion. Inside were hundreds of hairstylists to choose from. I had talked to Anne on the phone recently and she suggested someone to me. I was so excited. I have never gotten my hair done like this before.
We were escorted inside by a few guards who stood close by. I couldn't help but feel like Logan ordered them to do this.
A little while later I met my hair stylist. She cut a few inches off my long hair and curled it, then pulled it up but leaving my bangs down. After she did my nails and my makeup. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I wanted to cry but then all her hard work would've went to waste. Violet was next and she looked absolutely gorgeous like she always did.

By the time we got home, it was 3 o'clock and the wedding was at 7.
I went up to my bedroom and looked at my packed bags. A big red bag was among them. My heart rate sped up as I stared at the bag. This must be where Violet put the lingerie she bought me. I hadn't seen anything that was in that bag. She told me not to look and I promised I wouldn't but...it was so frustrating. What if the most smuttiest lingerie was in that bag and I had no choice but to wear it?
I sighed to myself, then turned away from the red bag. I decided to take a walk around the mansion because this would become the home of the future Pythons. There were some places that I hadn't seen yet, but I wanted to see the hot tub again first.
I walked down the stairs in the back and opened the door. Outside was the hot tub. Last time Logan and I were out here, we heard a noise as if someone was spying on us.
Suddenly, I heard a loud rustling in the bushes. Just like last time. I stared at the bush for a few moments, then began to walk toward them. Something pink caught my eye.
"Who's in here?!" I yelled and kicked at that bush.
I heard a grunt. There's a person in there!
I kicked the bush again, the pushed it open. I was suddenly face to face with the person who was inside. I was astonished.
"Bethany?"
She stared up at me, saying nothing. Did she really not have anything to say? What is she doing here?
I immediately called the guards. They came quickly and grabbed her. As this was happening she was still completely silent.
I came up to her and stared her straight in the eyes. Then I slapped her in the face. Still, she said nothing.
"Ms. Sky, please call Mr. Python and inform him of this situation." Regan said.
"Yes, I will." I went inside the house and up the stairs to my room. I couldn't believe this. I dialed his number quickly and waited for him to answer. He answered on the second ring.
"Hello, my love."
"Hey, baby. Look-"
"You couldn't wait to see me could you? We must remember the laws of-"
"Says the guy who tried to see me last night. Anyway, I've got some news to tell you."
I told him what happened. Bethany has probably been spying on us for a while now, but she had nothing to say. Why? How could she be so speechless?
I heard Logan sigh on the other line. "I'm going to call Regan, okay? We will sort this out before tonight. But most likely she will be imprisoned for breaking and entering."
"I know but she doesn't seem to want to explain herself." I said, frustrated.
"Maybe because she is well aware that she is guilty. Besides, whether she claims if she is guilty or not her testimony will not matter."
Yes, that's right. When you're one of the richest men in the country, you automatically win no matter what.
"Okay," I sighed. "I have to start getting ready."
"Okay, my sweet. I love you."
"I love you too. See you tonight."
I could hear his smirk. Then I hung up.
Now, lets get ready for this.
