HE CAME BACK!
Aria thought with happiness surging in her, she stared as Adrian approached her beside the altar.
She didn't even think of the fact that he abandoned her on the road or his harsh behaviour towards her throughout today. At least he came back and saved her from embarrassment today.
Tiffany on the other hand, was dumbfounded seeing Adrian, her blood boiled from within.
**********
Soon after, through half of the wedding Adrian had just said his vows, remaining Aria who became silent
What's wrong? Isn't this what you wanted?" Adrian's cold voice sliced into her, filled with disgust.
Her breath stuttered.
"I… I do," she whispered, her voice breaking.
The rings were exchanged.
And then...
Adrian stepped down from the altar.
Gasps echoed around the church as he turned and walked away.
"Adrian!" Grandpa Sterling shot up from his seat, furious.
"Grandpa, please," Adrian said without emotion. "I already did what you wanted."
Then he walked out.
He didn't look back.
Not even once.
Aria's heart shattered.
Tears spilled freely as she stood frozen on the altar.
Everyone stared at her like she was something filthy, something unwanted.
Slowly, her knees gave out.
She bent down on the altar and cried, her sobs wracking her fragile body.
"Let go" A deep voice rang out from up, she recognised that voice.
Aria looked up with teary eyes to see Adrian with his left hand forward.
Aria was shocked at first as she saw his stern face had become more calmer she hesitated before holding his hand.
He lifted her up and helped her arranged her cloth perfectly before dragging her out of the church
The priest at the altar shaked his head
'This was the most dramatic wedding he has ever seen in his life'
Everyone in the church was in uproar, they just witnessed the most dramatic wedding ever. The Dawsons were a little embarrassed, he didn't even tell his business partners that it was a forced marriage.
Only Old Man sterling smiled in his seat
'He knew it, they were definitely going to be alright, he made the right choice'
