The wedding Party

Avery was already dressed and was left to do her makeup before wearing the dress.

"Press your lips together," Hazel commanded, holding the lipstick in her hand.

Avery did as she was told while Hazel began to apply the lipstick to her lips. Mascara and other makeup kits were applied to bring out Avery's beauty more.

All the while Hazel was dressing for her, she couldn't stop thinking about what tomorrow holds for her.

"Am I going to be legally married now and will be addressed as Mrs. Rylan?" Avery didn't want to ponder much about it, but she found her thoughts drifting back.

"You need to wear the dress now," Hazel said, heading towards the bed. The wedding dress was spread wide on the bed.

Hazel took the dress and walked towards Avery. She had made sure not to let Avery look at her reflection in the mirror. She has promised to only let Avery check the mirror when she is done.

Avery stood up from the chair to get into the dress. Hazel was about to let Avery wear the dress when she suddenly noticed the only obstacle.

"Avery," Hazel said sweetly, trying to get Avery's attention.

"Yes," Avery replied. Looking at Hazel in the eye, they were almost of the same height.

"You will need to take off your bra," Hazel said bluntly, but Avery blushed. Her face flushed pink because of embarrassment.

"Okay,"

"Try to get into the dress first, then I will continue the rest." Hazel quickly added. She could see Avery was embarrassed.

Avery did as she was told by turning her back to Hazel. She unclasped the bra and got into the dress as soon as she could. The dress felt heavy.

The flair of the dress spread out around her like armor to pool at her feet.

"Wow, you look stunning, Avery. I haven't even tied the laces around it, and you are already looking breathtaking," Hazel praised Avery.

"Thank you," Avery murmured back. Hazel walked behind Avery to tie the thin straps at the back.

It was a V-shaped neck that had a wide cut, showing Avery's smooth back. Different sizes of gemstones were glued to the dress.

The cut was lowered to reach near her buttocks. The dress hugged her curves perfectly, and Hazel had no choice but to admit that Avery was a stunning woman.

"Now check your mirror and rate my handwork, Avery," Hazel said with enthusiasm and a cheerful tone.

Avery smiled and headed to where the mirror was standing. Her jaw dropped, and shock marred her face when she saw the woman's reflection. She almost couldn't identify herself.

"I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you so much, Hazel." Avery thanked Hazel.

Hazel walked towards them, holding her hands. She could see the tears of joy brimming in Avery's eyes.

"Now, let's get into the car."

Avery managed to get outside the mansion. With the help of Connor and Hazel, she got into the car safe and sound.

And there it is!

The car zoomed off to the beautiful garden where the celebration will be held. Avery stayed in the car with Hazel. She could see people from afar.

Everyone was already sitting in the garden. The garden is filled with vibrant colors and fragrances, surrounded by beautiful flowers. Balloon clusters, roses, peonies, and lilies create enchanting floral arrangements.

The wedding arch symbolizes love and unity, while a carpet of flower petals lines the pathway to the altar.

The sun shone brightly over the garden, casting its warm orange glow on the beautiful flowers.

When Avery's eyes took in the way the garden was decorated, She couldn't lie; it was very beautiful.

"This is beautiful, Avery," Hazel said, looking at the garden.

"Yes," Avery muttered. She couldn't stop wondering if her father and sister were now sitting among the guests.

Avery heard the priest speak into the microphone while a solemn song kept playing in the background.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Today, we are here for the union of two couples, and now we will be calling the groom to come and stand in the front."

Avery couldn't laugh out loud when he heard the priest's words.

"No sermon was given."

"I can bet that he is not a priest," she thought, her eyes not leaving the priest's eyes.

Avery saw a faint vision of a man in a black suit walking towards the podium. With the way this figure is built and his walking steps, Avery knew no one was supposed to let her know that the figure outside was Sebastian.

"Mr. Sebastian Rylan!" The priest said, and everyone jammed their hands together as Sebastian walked towards the podium with his best man.

"Oh no. I thought you said Avery would be getting married to an old man, Mickey!" The red-haired girl, Jasmine, whispered to Mickey.

Jasmine had thought they would be here to witness Avery's downfall, but who knew Avery's husband could be this handsome?

"Handsome is an understatement; this man is practically beautiful," Jasmine muttered, while Mickey only gritted her teeth in anger. Her hands pressed tightly against her thighs.

"Mickey, you aren't saying anything."

"S—she might be the one who seduced him, you can't say," Mickey tried to counter back, but her voice faltered. She was shocked to the bone. She hasn't seen this man before, and he is not a celebrity.

"She caught a big fish, huh?" Mickey screamed in her mind.

"I just made a fool of myself, huh?" Jasmine muttered under her breath. She couldn't help but fan herself with her hands.

"Let's just watch. He might not even love her!"

Mrs. Piper smiled when she heard the two girls whispering. She couldn't help but smile at their words.

"I was surprised too, Avery," Mrs. Piper said, relaxing back in the chair.

When Hazel saw the man standing beside Sebastian, a sinister smile graced her lips. She wasn't happy anymore, but she was going to play along.

"And now, we will call in the bride, Hazel Walter."

The moment the priest announced the entrance of the bride, anticipation filled the air. Every guest sat eagerly, turning their heads to the side, awaiting the bride's grand arrival.

Sebastian stood poised at the altar, and Avery began her graceful journey toward her soon-to-be husband. Her long white gown trailed behind her, showcasing her delicate features. The gown accentuated her curves, and her chest rose and fell slowly as she made her enchanting entrance.

Walter, Avery's father, was already waiting at the entrance to walk down the aisle with Avery by his side. Avery faked a smile at her father as they entwined their fingers together.

Hazel held Avery's long dress at the edge while the long dress swept the red carpet floor.

Mrs. Piper and some of the staff members began to let flowers rain down as Avery walked on them.

The sight of the stunning bride took everyone by surprise, and Logan was no exception. He clenched his fists in anger, grinding his teeth as he realized Avery was slipping through his grasp.

Jessica beamed at her father, smiling proudly at her sister as she walked towards the altar. She cast a glance at Logan and caught him looking at Avery with so much lust in his eyes.
