Chapter 8

Kaizer's POV:

Direck and I picked them up at the Restaurant so they could join Selene and me later.

When I arrived at the restaurant they were talking about, they called and informed me that I was already outside.

"Bro, I'm already outside where are you?" I immediately asked.

"Excuse me, bro? It's been a while since I ate with my friend, so come in here first." I nodded and went inside. I saw Direck wave so I went to their table and sat down.

Ahh..bro. c Karen Villanueva is my girlfriend." he said with a grimace and I laughed secretly.

"Babe, c Kaizer Kiel Madrigal is my friend, the one I'm talking about marrying." Karen immediately looked at me and smiled.

"It's nice to see you Kaizer." and he extended his hand to me but I didn't accept it because you know the fish he eats with his hand is just sh*t..

"Yeah it's nice to see you too Karen."

"I extended my hand to you kaizer but why didn't you accept it?" he said to me immediately and he said it very loudly.

"I'm sorry, look at your hand? How can I shake hands with you if it's dirty." I said immediately and he looked at his hand.

"Sorry Kaizer."

"Babe, I'm just going to wash my hands, right? Then wait for me." he said goodbye to Direck and left.

"Bro. Is that really your girlfriend?" He nodded and suddenly I laughed.

"Looks like you're under now." I immediately said.

"By the way bro, where did you meet Karen?"

"Ahh because Mommy's friend is the son of the Fortalezas." He said it right away but I was surprised because he mentioned Fortaleza.

"What do you mean bro?" I immediately asked.

"Because like this bro, Karen's Mommy is Fortaleza, so her Mommy married a Villanueva, so you won't recognize Karen because she's a Villanueva." I immediately nodded and thought.

After a few minutes of waiting, Karen arrived, we left and we were going to the house to pick up Selene.

When I got home, I first went to the kitchen to drink water and then I went to see Direck that I would just call Selene and I would change clothes. The two nodded so I went up.

I first thought about going to Selene's room but when I opened the door I heard her singing. His voice was beautiful because we were in a hurry because of traffic, so I touched his shoulder and he was surprised.

To be honest, I was dumbfounded when Selene faced me, but I didn't show it. She looks beautiful in her dress.

When I said that he and Direck were downstairs, he also said goodbye that he was downstairs and I said that I would get dressed before we left.

While I was in the room I still remembered Selene's voice so I just smiled.

I was going down the stairs when I heard Karen say that...

He said he can go shopping with someone because Selene is his friend."

That's really a girl.

I also showed them and we left.

(After 1 hour and 2 minutes)

We have reached Selene's gown measurement.

I made Selene go with Karen so that someone would support Selene and it's good that Karen agreed so I won't have any more problems.

While we were waiting, the woman suddenly told me that she had finished choosing and that the Bride would just measure the gown.

So Direck and I waited because it took too long.

The curtain opened and I slowly looked at Selene. I'm getting insulted in my mind because it's a beautiful Promise.. What if we get married in the church, what can I do? Haysst, as long as this is what I will problematize first.

They showed me the gown and I also told Selene that if she wanted it, she would nod.

I just told them to just deliver to the house tomorrow and we left to go to Jewelry because we were going to buy a Wedding Ring.

While we were at the jewelry store, Karen was making a lot of noise because she was talking to Selene and Direck and I picked out a wedding ring because she was helping me.

After a few minutes, Karen huddled with us and was looking for something. When he saw it, he bought it, it was a bill with Best Friend stamped on it. So I just laughed because of what I thought because I knew he was going to give Selene the other one and I also heard...

"Selene, you look beautiful, don't you? So we're best friends, so this one is yours." while smiling he said to selene and she nodded.

I saw that Karen was about to wear the necklace that she gave to Selene but she was surprised. And I saw Karen suddenly suddenly because of what she saw. I don't know if he was surprised. I was about to go to them when Direck called me.

"Bro, this oh..but first measure Selene's ring finger." he immediately said and nodded so I went to them. Karen was quiet, I don't know if she stopped making noise.

After we paid for the ring, we left and ate before going home.

(Fast Forward)

I was still wondering because of Karen's silence.

When we got home, I took the two of them to their room. And I also sent Selene to her room to rest.

And I also went straight to my room after I took Karen and Direck to their own room and slept.

............

Karen's POV:

That necklace, I have seen the same one...it looks like it was my aunt Krylle's.

Haysst, it's up to you...I'm going to sleep tomorrow, I'll think about it

Karen's POV:

I woke up because of the sound of my cellphone so I took it from the side table because that's where I put it.

I didn't look at the caller and answered immediately.

"Hello son, where are you now?" I immediately answered the caller. So it's mommy.

"Mom I'm here at my friend's house." I'm lying because I'm actually here at Kaizer's house. Direck said to keep it secret so I lied.

"Son, go to your Aunt Krylle's House because Mama and Papa are there." I nodded. What Mommy means is that my Grandpa and Grandma were there at Aunt Krylle's house because Grandma and Mommy had a fight before when Mommy was a young woman because she didn't want to marry her supposed husband but she was stubborn so they kicked her out of the Mansion . And Grandma found out that she was pregnant and that I was the one who was pregnant at the time, so Grandma got even more angry.

When I think of Mommy's story, I feel a pain in my chest and a little anger.

But Grandma and Grandpa said that they accept me as a Fortaleza but that Mommy should not show up at the Mansion because she will be thrown away.

When that went out of my mind, I just went to mommy's but I can go there this afternoon because Kaizer and Selene are now married.

I took a shower before leaving the room and found Kaizer and Direck talking in the living room.

Good morning babe and Kaizer, isn't Selene there yet?" I immediately greeted and said because I have never seen Selene.

"Ahh..Selene is still in her room but she must be awake." Kaizer immediately told me and I just nodded. I stood next to Direck while waiting for Selene to come out.

"By the way bro, everything is ready for later." Kaizer immediately said.

"You bro, you're excited to get married...do you already love Selene?" Direck immediately asked Kaizer. And I saw Kaizer's shock so I smiled secretly because I knew Kaizer had a crush on Selene. I just don't know if Selene has one.

Kaizer didn't answer so Direck just let it go. Direck was about to speak when the two of us saw Selene going to where we were sitting so I looked at Selene. She looks just like my Aunt Krylle in fact if she straightens up a little more.

"Good morning to you." it said to us so we also greeted back.

We've made arrangements because their wedding is at 10:00am so I went to my room to get my make up kit and to get Selene ready as well.

While I was fixing him, I could see Aunt Krylle's face on him. I know that aunt is still looking for her missing son but I will let her find out where her missing son is. As long as I keep quiet, I need to.

Because I don't want to be the way of the Fortaleza people's happiness even though I know Selene is my cousin.

..........

Selene's POV:

We all went to his room to clean up. But I don't know how to make up haysst. Because I'm not good at it...As I look at myself in the mirror, I just wonder if I can't continue with this marriage. How can I just run away as an excuse?

"Don't do that Selene." I said to myself and hit my head.

I turned to the door when it opened. So I looked to see who came in. It was just Karen, but she didn't knock. Haysst take care of it.

"Hi Selene, I'll fix you now." he said smiling at me so I nodded.

He started to fix me but I could see that he was staring at my face but I just let it go so there would be no noise. After he fixed me, he also said goodbye that he was going to his room. So I just nodded.

I finished getting ready and was getting dressed when someone knocked on the door so I hurried to put on my wedding dress.

I opened the door and the one who exposed me was Direck who was already dressed.

"Selene left Kaizer first because he said he had something else to do." so I was disappointed but I didn't show it and just smiled.

"Ahh..Alright, I'm done, Karen, is she done?" he nodded and left.

To be honest, I'm nervous today because I'm getting married without the permission of my dead parents, how can they haunt me because I didn't say goodbye waaahhh!!! Mom and Dad I'm sorry huhuhu...

9:00am Direck called me so we could leave and I saw Karen, she was so beautiful. How can you be like him? Hey, don't even think about that. How can I lose my nervousness? It was a while ago..

After a few minutes of our flight, we also arrived at the venue of my wedding with Kaizer, that venue is so beautiful, I don't know how much the rent is here.

A woman came up to us and asked me if I was Kaizer's bride.

"Ma'am Selene, are you the Bride of Mr. Kaizer Kiel Madrigal? I am Jean, the wedding organizer here." he immediately asked me and I nodded.

"This way ma'am." and we walked after the woman who called me. Karen and Direck followed behind.

"Ma'am Selene we're here, I'll just say you're here and your wedding with Mr. Madrigal is about to begin." I was just standing at the door and suddenly it opened and I saw people sitting on opposite chairs smiling at me.

I looked behind me but Direck and Karen were gone. So I shivered a little but I didn't show it.

I looked ahead again but I saw them sitting there and smiling at me so my nervousness eased a bit and I looked in front of the altar and saw Kaizer. All I can say is that he's handsome, handsome hehehe even though I'm far away and even though I haven't walked towards him yet, I can see his real smile. Even though we didn't meet well, all I know is that I LOVE him, but I don't let it be known to everyone at home, even to him and Karen and Direck because I don't want them to know that.

In the few weeks Kaizer and I have been together, I have fallen in love with him.

I just lost my thoughts when a piece of music sounded that signaled that I was about to walk.

You know the feeling of crying because you're going to be with the person you love but he doesn't really love you and he only married you because he had to. Just so she doesn't marry someone else.

While I was walking, my tears were falling as I thought that maybe after this wedding we will go our separate ways because he got what he wanted, but that's okay. As long as he'll be happy there and I'll be able to have fun even if he's gone next time.

I was about to replace him so I wiped my tears a little.

When I got close, he held out his hand to me and I gave it to him and he smiled at me before we walked to a man who looked like he was going to marry us.
