Chapter sixty: "Royal Wedding"

"Are you ready?" Cloud asked me as he drive me to the Marshal manor where the wedding would be held today

I wore the dress that was designed by my aunt and Sophia, Cloud also looked dashing in his suit
I would be lying that I wasn't nervous

"Maybe...I don't know" I looked away out the window to hide my nervousness
Cloud would be really nervous if he sees me like this

It was 8 AM in the morning and we woke up extra early for the preparation of the wedding with the rest of the family members
It is also worth noting that we would spend time with Cloud's side of the family

No words could explain what I'm feeling right now, the easiest way I could describe this feeling is that it felt like my mind is still hazy and I still pretend that all of this is just a dream

One wrong slip up and...I don't even wanna know what might happen

Last night was a blast but today felt like I am carrying a heavy burden. Although I tried my best to hide my nervousness, Cloud being the person he is noticed it right away so he stopped the car at the side of the road

He turned his head to check on me "Are you really sure? We can skip if you like and just show up at the dinner venue"

"That sounds like a bad idea" I honestly said to him
If we skip the wedding then there would be more mean things his clan could say to me so I'm not gonna slip this up

"Is your Dad gonna show up at the wedding or the wedding reception?"

He shrugs at me before starting the car again with eyes laid down on the road "He is just the type of person who would just make everybody not prepared for his presence"

"Just like you" I added with a small smile and he returned it with a small air kiss back to me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We finally reached the Marshall manor and I felt like we stepped into a royal wedding from how extravagant everything was from the outside in. Paparazzi are lined up with their formal suits and dresses while being respectful to every guest who enters the manor

Expensive cars are parked with the valet in charge of parking them as the people who own the cars enter the enormous entrance doors

Flowers lined up the road that leads to the venue of the wedding, which was the garden where we used to have a photo shoot back in high school

There was even a person in charge of having butterflies fly around the garden as they please while keeping a check on them from time to time

White ribbons lined up to the gazebo where the priest was talking to Ava and another person who looks a bit younger than Wendy

Near the door that leads to the ballroom, Benjamin was playing with a girl his age. He saw me from far away and gave me a big grin

"There you are!"

I jumped from being startled out of my train of thoughts, Sophia walked up to me all excited "I have been looking all over for you"

"Cloud took too long in finding good shoes for the suit," I said before giggling when Cloud gave me the 'Please don't tell her that' look

Me and Cloud slept together back in his penthouse, it felt nostalgic going back to his penthouse because it felt like my second home after everything

Sophia looks down at Cloud's shoes "At least it's not converse thank goodness" she sighed in relief, I raised a brow up to Cloud

He looks at me "It's a long story"

Sophia rolled her eyes at her son before grabbing my of our hands and pulling me to the second floor near the south wing where the bride and the rest of the girls wait

I was immediately separated from Cloud all of a sudden and I wasn't able to process the girls in the room, Juliet was sitting in front of the vanity while a hairstylist style her hair adorning it with flowers

Juliet saw my reflection behind her in the mirror, her eyes glimmered in happiness once she saw me "YOU'RE HERE!" she yelled loudly in excitement

"How could I miss this for the world? You look beautiful Juls" I sat beside her as we both looked at our reflections in the mirror with smiles on our faces

I was overjoyed for my cousin, this was the event she have been waiting for her entire life, it was the thing she fought cancer for

Her eyes watered a little and were trying to keep the tears at bay

"God it's so hard not to cry or else my eyeliner would be ruined" she fanned her face with one hand and I laughed

I was not exaggerating when I say she was unbelievably beautiful today, with little flowers on her hair and a dress that was like a ball gown, she looks like a princess

"Where's your crown?" I asked her jokingly since it was the last detail to complete her look like a princess

"Nah, a tiara would be too much with this many flowers on me" she gestured for me to check her entire dress

A long sleeved off the shoulder with flowers from the chest that goes down the gown

With my attention instantly glued to Juliet when I entered the room, I didn't notice the other girls in the room. The majority of them weren't from my family so all of their faces were new to me

Instead, there was one whose face was familiar, it was the girl who I assumed Cloud cheated me with when he was in Paris

Lilia, I think that was her name

Her eyes were like Ava, it was blue but a bit darker, and she had long straight jet black hair that reached to her hips

Out of the girls in the room, she was the one who walked up to me with curious eyes

"Is your name Penelope?" she asked
Oh my God, her voice sounded so fucking expensive

I nodded and she grinned widely, she shook my hand with enthusiasm "My name is Lilia, it's so nice to meet you!"

After the ice between us was broken, the other girls in the room started to introduce themselves to me

They were Cloud's cousins and I could see some similarities between the girls and the famous green eyes except for the other few who has blue and brown eyes

My chest didn't feel a bit too tight anymore since I now know that his cousins are sweethearts. It only took all of us an hour to bond and enjoy each other's presence
It was not the cousins that I was supposed to be worried about from the beginning, it was the Aunt and Uncles

We heard the door open and there comes to enter my sisters and Aunt Laborè who was in the middle of reapplying her lipstick, just me, my sisters also bonded quickly with the cousins

I felt my arm being tugged by Aunt Laborè "Where is your bracelet?" she asked and I was confused

"Bracelet? What bracelet?"

She sighed from being burnt out when preparing the dresses for the wedding "There are thin bracelets that are supposed to be worn by the Price girls in the family, you could ask my boss for a bracelet"
I didn't even know that we have to wear a thin bracelet from the beginning

So I stepped out of the room to find Sophia
Finding her would be difficult since she is managing the wedding from the background and with all these paparazzi around she has to make sure the wedding would go smoothly

Maids and butlers from the Marshall family were walking around giving drinks and small snacks to guest

I checked the garden, the ballroom, and even the gazebo if she was there but sadly she wasn't
Where on earth could she be?

Don't get me wrong, the majority of the people in the manor were the people I don't know so I was a bit shy to even ask since my anxiety about meeting new people in a different location is starting again

But if I have to keep this up until the wedding starts then I would tire myself out, when walking down the hallways I found a man walking to the other side of the manor

"Excuse me" I called out to him and when he turned around I was greeted with forest green eyes and blonde hair man with some white hair from age

He stood quite tall even among the Marshall brothers who were tall, the air around him felt suffocating

I mustered up the courage and asked "Do you know where Sophia is?" I asked him in the most polite way I could so I would not offend this man with a dead serious face
God I felt scared talking to him like one wrong move and he would criticize my entire existence

"Do you mean my wife?"

Oh shit
