Bride 2

Tears rolled into Renya’s eyes, Grayson took a step forward, but Renya stood like a stone statue.

He turned around and saw her pale face. He noticed her sickly complexion, but before he could say or do anything, Renya's vision blurred, and her breath shortened before all the brightness drowned into the darkness.

‘Plop—‘

Her grip had already loosened, and she fell on the cold marble floor.

The scene made many gasps in horror, while others glared at the fainted body with a judgemental gaze.

Grayson had an odd look on his face. He looked scared, he lifted the unconscious body in his arms and stared at the pale face with anger.

“Get the car!” He shouted at the servants by the door.

…………………

It had almost been an hour since Renya was taken into the Emergency room, but there was no news of her. Grayson continued to get phone calls from his father. He walked away from the emergency room and picked up the call. Taylor was fuming with anger.

“Where are you? Why isn’t she back yet?” He angrily asked.

Grayson knitted his eyebrows in dissatisfaction and gritted his teeth.

“They are treating her, we will be back once they are done,”

Grayson suppressed his urge to scold his father and spoke lightly.

“Bring her back as soon as she wakes up,” With a dissatisfied tone, he hung up.

Grayson stared at the black screen and gave out a dissatisfied breath.

He turned around and walked back towards the emergency room, but he saw two nurses pushing the bed through the hallway where Renya lay unconscious.

“What happened?” Grayson stopped one of the nurses.

The nurse suddenly jumped in surprise as if she was caught doing a theft,

“That- we are shifting her to the ward,” The other one replied.

“What happened to her? Why did she faint?” Grayson interrogated.

“Her blood sugar declined because she hadn’t taken food for a while, and she must have taken a lot of stress.”

“So there is nothing to worry about?” Grayson asked.

“Yes she will be okay soon, You can take her after that,”

Grayson glanced at Renya, who’s complexion had normalized.

“Hmm…” His gaze stuck to her face. Renya opened her eyes slowly,

“Are you okay? DO you want to rest?” HE asked in a soft tone. He had a concerned look on his face. Renya shook her head lightly.

“Okay... Then we will go back.” He spoke softly and patted her head.

…………………………….

Micah’s face stiffened as he saw Renya walk out of the car holding her brother’s hand,

Most of the guests had already left, and only the family was sitting by the tables beside the aisle. Her stepmother and step-sister stared at her with surprise, and her father heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her walk into the light.

“What happened? Was everything okay?”

Helena, her stepmother, walked closer to her and showed fake sympathy, but Renya didn’t answer and stared blankly at her.

“There is nothing to worry about, she is alright now.” Grayson cleared up the confusion in everyone’s mind and walked her closer to the altar.

Micah’s gaze was ruthless.

When Grayson gave Renya’s hand into Micah’s reluctant grasp, he felt a cold shiver run through his bones. He was having a bad feeling about this, but it was too late for him to stop the wedding.

As they stood facing each other with utter disgust, Emerald, Micah’s mother, walked in and calmed the situation by tenderly stroking her fingers on Renya’s face.

“Let’s start the ceremony,” she spoke sweetly as she glanced at Micah.

There was a deep silence when the guy in the black suit began to speak.

“Now I will recite the vows,”

He opened a piece of paper and cleared his throat before reading it out loud.

“I choose you and promise to choose you as my wife every day we wake. I will love you in word and deed. I will laugh with you, cry with you, scream with you, grow with you, and craft with you. To be your kin and your partner in all of life's, loving what I know of you and trusting what I don't yet know, I give you my hand. I give you my love. I give you myself, the good, the bad, and yet to come, So do you take Micah Luis as your husband?”

The man in a black suit recited those words which were directed towards Renya,

“I—I do,”

“I choose you and promise to choose you as my husband every day we wake. I will love you in word and deed. I will laugh with you, cry with you, scream with you, grow with you, and craft with you. To be your kin and your partner in all of your lives. Loving what I know of you and trusting what I don't yet know, I give you my hand. I give you my love. I give you myself, the good, the bad, and yet to come, so do you take me, Renya Scott, as your wife?”

The same words now were directed towards Micah,

“I do,” his voice was grave and cold that brought shivers to everyone in the ceremony and had no effect on Renya, she stood lifelessly staring at the guy before her.

“Now you May exchange the rings,”

The bridesmaids stepped forward and brought a pink cushion on which two small velvet boxes were placed, Renya picked the box and took out the silvery ring. The shine of the ring reflected in her eyes as a tear rolled into her eye, she slowly took Micah's hand and pushed it into his ring finger. Micah too gave her the ring half-heartedly, there was applause at this,

Everything at the wedding looked like a huge mistake, but everyone seemed to be ignoring it,

“I now pronounce you Man and Wife, Now You May Kiss The Bride,”
