Aurora POV
In a not that luxury hotel in Tidesine, a wedding ceremony is going on where only a few people have been invited.
It is my wedding.
Under the crystal chandelier, I'm going to exchange the vow with Dawn, my bridegroom.
He is my saviour, to some extent, but not my lover.
I would be very grateful for what he had done for me if he doesn't...
Today Dawn wears a white suit specially for me, for the occasion.
He looks tanned and majestic in the suit. Looking into his gray eyes, I am bewitched.
Why do I find affectionate in his eyes? How can it be possible?
"... Aurora, I swear I will protect you forever."
I heard him saying.
Then, the host's words keep echoing in my mind.
"...Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish him from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto him as long as you both shall live?"
I purse my lips, struggling. To be sure, he saved me when I was at my lowest. When I was in danger, it was he, Dawn, who took me away and whispered encouragement to me, "Don't give up... "
A sourness surges to my nose. I hurriedly cast my eyes down to hide the emotion.
"I..."
"She won't."
A louder voice covers my words. At the same time, the door is kicked open.
The interruption surprises everyone on the spot, including me.
But I know, my angel is coming though he is sort of fallen angel.
"Sir, this is a private banquet venue. You can't enter without an invitation. Sir ... sir!"
The security guard rushes in but fails to stop Gavin.
Seeing the intruder, Dawn frowns tightly.
I see hatred in his eyes. Yep, how could he not know Gavin?
If that were the case, the wedding would not exist.
I know I look pale, but I have no other choice but to face Gavin.
Gavin is not decent as ever but looks rather exhausted.
He comes in pajamas with one slipper on his foot. The button should have fallen off when he was arguing with the security guard outside.
I almost cry.
When I am in a daze, Dawn smiles and whispers to me as if we are intimate. But only I can hear his wicked words, "Do you believe I have enough evidence to chop his head off legitimately?"
Maybe Dawn thinks it is not enough. He even holds my waist in his arm.
Also, it is a provocation, which means "She is mine."
Seeing what is going on, Gavin gets mad absolutely.
With red eyes, Gavin walks towards me. Every time he takes a step closer, my heart beats wilder.
"Whose wedding? Who permitted? Aurora?"
"... As you can see, my wedding."
"Bullshit! You can only be my bride, and I am your only bridegroom.
"Aurora, I shouldn't have quarreled with you before. It is all my fault. Come back home with me."
Why doesn't he let me go? Why doesn't he forget me? Why doesn't he understand...
Gavin locks his eyes on me, forcing a smile.
But my eyes are as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
The absurd situation is open.
At this time, a colleague of Dawn comes here and stops Gavin, "Sir, if you come to attend the wedding, you will be welcomed. But if you come to make trouble, you have to get out."
Gavin sullenly pushes him away without taking his eyes off me. "Motherfucking wedding! Leave me!"
Then, he says to me, "Aurora, I know you are still mad at me. I know I am wrong. I apologize to you. Don't make fun of me, okay?" As he is saying, he reaches out to hold me.
I avoid and say in a low voice, "Gavin, can you respect me? Don't spoil my wedding ceremony!"
Gavin froze for a second. Then, he snaps, "Fucking wedding! Who the fuck do you marry? You have become my girlfriend since you were seventeen. Everyone knows that you are mine. I apologize for breaking your heart before. But how can you trick me in this way?"
"I..." He doesn't give me the chance to stop him.
"Don't you want to get married? No problem. See, I've always taken the ring with me. I never forget that you like sapphire."
Gavin takes out the ring box from his pocket with a tremble. "I have been preparing to marry you. Let's go to get the marriage certificate now! I must be your one and only husband!"
My face is drained of color. Gavin's words not only humiliate Dawn but also stamp my dignity under his feet.
Before I could say anything, Dawn retorts with aplomb. "Sir, that's all over. Now, Aurora is my wife, and she is pregnant."
I widen my eyes unbelievably. Finally, Dawn leaves no room for me.
Gavin is dumbfounded on the spot.
After a while, he growls, "What the fuck? What did you say? How dare you touch her? She's mine! She's mine...Goddamn!"
Now Gavin is like a mad beast.
Dawn doesn't respond this time but strokes my belly tenderly.
I have had enough.
"Enough. Let's end here. In the future, please don't show up in front of me. I don't want my husband to misunderstand. At last, I wish you find the right person."
I see Gavin cry terribly, for the first time.
I turn to look at Dawn, who smiles triumphantly at me. Then, he helps me lift my skirt and then holds my hand. His palm is thick and warm, which, to my surprise, sweats. How could he be nervous?
I don't look back. "Mr. Watson, it's time for you to go back. Your shawty is waiting for you."
Gavin whimpers with his fingers flinched. "You are my only shawty. I want nobody but you. No one is more important than you."
"But in my heart, you are not important anymore. It is not the first time I refuse you, but it will be the last time."
I don't want to talk to him anymore.
Dawn glances at Gavin, who is stunned in place, and signals to the security guard, "Please go out, Mr. Watson."
But the security guard can't hold him at all. In the end, Dawn's colleague helps to control Gavin.
Gavin is pressed on the ground, tears streaming down his face, "She's mine. Don't touch her. Please don't touch her..."
I've never seen him like this before.
If Gavin loves me, why does he associate with so many women? But if he doesn't...
Aurora, stop thinking about him. Your husband is beside you.
