Chapter 13 Cruise wedding

ROSELYN JENSEN

I took a deep breath. I look on my mother and held her hand. I visit her early because later this night my wedding will be held in a cruise.

"Mom, I hope you ll wake up soon. I need you to be here with me. Guide me with the troubles that I might face during this marriage. I m sorry if I made decisions that I shouldn t. I am really sorry."-I mumbled.

I hug her and then leave the hospital before 1pm. I need to prepare for the wedding ceremony later on. I went out from the cab and get inside the Luca mansion. I took a deep breath when I saw how big this house is. They are one of the richest family in the continent. I sigh and step in, the door opens automatically. The guard who monitored the CCTV must have see that it was me.

"How s your visit to your mom?"

"She is still unconscious. But deep inside I believe that she heard all of what I said. I have to get ready when she wakes up and she will surely nag me more than she had before. But it s okay, as long as she wakes up after several months of sleeping. In no such time it will be a year since then."

"Don t worry, the hospital won t let anything bad happens to her. She will be fine."-he said. That made me smile. He is stiff and speaks arrogantly but it looks when he s home, he shows his gentle side. I suddenly remember my birthday gift for him. I took off the box out of my bag.

"Here, it s my gift."-I said. He take it and open it.

"A cufflinks? I know this is expensive, I have bought one of my cufflinks in this branded store."

"I know. But just take it, use them today."

"Okay. Thank you, Ms. Jensen."

"I have been trying to say your name smoothly, why don t you do the same, Crimson?"-I said.

"I m sorry. Thank you, Roselyn."

"Much better. Happy birthday anyway."-I said. He smiled. That s the first time I saw that his smile went to his eyes. That made me smile either. This is rare.

"I will go to my room and get ready."

"You don t have too. Our clothes is in the car. We will groom up in the cruise. We will leave the mansion at 3pm. So better get ready."-he said. I look on my watch. I still have and hour.

"Okay then. Knock on my door when we have to go."

"Okay."-he said. I went inside my room. As a woman I need to fix myself even if we ll groom up in the cruise. 'Don t get nervous and don t run away, Roselyn!

CRIMSON LUCA

I knock on grandpa s room. I need to talk to him before we leave the mansion.

"Come in."-he said. I open the door and get inside.

"Can we talk for a while, grandpa?"

"No problem. Is there anything wrong?"-he said.

"I just wanted to know if you re okay with my decision. I don t want that girl to be in a situation that she ll feel different. It was me who needed her the most anyway."-I said. He laugh.

"I already cleared myself to you. I don t care what kind of method you will use. I want a great grandchild that will be your heir. Nothing more, nothing less Crimson. Why do you asking me? Don t you think you are the one who s having doubts?"-he threw me my own questions to him. I sigh.

"Is this about Isabelle?"-he added.

"Our relationship had lasted 8 years grandpa. Mom and dad are still alive when we told to everyone that she is my woman. Even if 5 years had passed, it was not easy to forget those memories."-I said.

"Then you should ve used our money, our influenced. You can even kidnapped her and force her to marry you if that is what you want."-he said. I sigh.

"But that s not what I wanted, grandpa. I want her to marry me because she loves me and she wants to build a family with me."-I said.

"But look what happened? After that accident that you two had, you almost die and barely managed to survive. The doctors who are experts in this country has been paid by me just to save you up. I don t know what exactly the reason why she left you, but don t you think that she is a stupid woman?"-he said.

"Grandpa…"-I mumbled. Even if grandpa and I are close but we lack in one thing. We are not sweet in each other and we look like a business partners who speaks in a civil manner.

"Just like what I said. We have a power. Even if Isabelle s family are also rich, they can t go against us. You should ve used your money and power, Crimson. You still have time to think about that. You can cancel the wedding with Ms. Jensen today."

"She will be put in a gossip."

"Her best friend s family are the only one who knows this secret and surprised wedding that you two had. It won t affect her that much. Otherwise we can fully shoulder her mothers bills and therapy as a compensation for this. Think about it, Crimson."

"But Isabelle is engaged, grandpa."

"Who cares?"-he said. I took a deep breath and think.

'If I ll turn my back with this wedding. There is no big changes in our lives. Grandpa is right, I have money and power. We can control the justice systems because of grandpa s connections. What if…

My thought stops when I saw Roselyn s gift. I took the box and open it. I saw my initials inside. She must have ask the saleswoman for this. 'But Roselyn is a thoughtful woman. Unlike Isabelle who only think of herself. I remember when she said that I should wear this today. I look on my reflection on the mirror.

"Sir Crimson? Sir Crimson?!"-Dina. I went to the door and open it. They are also ready, all of our servants here will come along.

"What is it, Dina?"-I ask.

"Ma am Roselyn—I mean Roselyn had ask me to make this food for her, why don t you give it to her? I mean for…bonding purposes before you two lose your single status?"-she said and wink.

"You have been always a joker, Dina. Don t worry, I will give this to her."-I said and took the tray. I didn t knock anymore, I get inside and—

"You do it again."-she said. But her tone is sharp and threatening. This time, she is about to wear her pants when I came in. She has a slender legs and smooth skin. Her butt is not that big, not that small. Let s say she is in between. She is wearing a lace panties.

"I will be seeing them anyway."-I said. But I knew it won t and also it is no used. She wear her pants in a hurry. I put down the tray on the mini table. I raise my hand and look at her. Good thing I saw that and catches her fist. That hurts, she is quiet strong.

"What was that for?"

"Nothing. I just want to vent my anger."-she said in a plain tone. She is blushing and it was cute. 'But this woman is interesting enough to convince me to dig more about her unique personality. As if she is drawing me closer to her.

"Why are you looking at me like that, this time?"

"Nothing. Eat this now and we will leave in 10 minutes."-I said. She nodded and I release her hand. She sat down and eat the food she ask.

"You are something else, Roselyn."

"Something else? Huh, stop using your sugarcoat tongue. Your making me feel like I want to vomit."

"C mon, don t be like that. We will be a married couple later on. Remember that you already signed the contract. Let s talk about the rules next time."

"Good to hear that."-she said. After that everyone went to the port. We get ready and groom up for the wedding that will be held around 8pm in the night.

ROSELYN JENSEN

I took a deep sigh and look at my reflection in the mirror. They use a Korean style make-up. It was thin and don t made me feel uncomfortable.

"Oh my gosh! You look so stunning, Roselyn!"

"Thanks Alona. Good thing you came. I want you to threw the petals and walk in front of me. I am really nervous and I might become a runaway bride if I walk alone in the aisle."-I said. She laugh.

"Relax. We have to go now, it s already time. I can here the song already. Everyone might have march on that red carpet."-she said. I took the bouquet of blue rose. My name came after this because mom always receive a blue rose from dad. This is her favorite flower. We went out. The door opens. Wow!

'The theme is powder blue. The arches has a blue roses on them. Even the chair and table covers are blue. The carpet is also blue. Did he…do this for me?

I look at him who is waiting at the end of the aisle. He is handsome on his clothes. Alona threw blue roses petals as I was slowly fast. Seriously, I am walking faster than what normal brides do.

"I am giving you my best friend now, Mr. Luca."

"Nice meeting you, Alona. Thank you."-he said. She went to her side. Both of them are holding the boxes of our wedding ring.

"We may now begin."-his godfather. We started in a prayer lead by me and the ceremony starts.

"Crimson Luca, did you take Roselyn Jensen as you lawful wedded wife?"-he said. We are facing each other. He smiled when she saw how nervous I am.

"I do."-he said.

"Roselyn Jensen, did you take Crimson Luca as your lawful wedded husband?"

"I do."-I mumbled.

"May you exchange your vows."-he said.

"I, Roselyn Jensen will promise you to be your partner in crime. To stand by your side and listen to your sorrows and stories of joy. To understand and behold you until my last breath."-I said. I didn t memorize that. I just remember some words I heard in watching wedding ceremonies in drama s and series.

"I, Crimson Luca will be a husband that will stand with you. Listen to your rants and be a shoulder you can cry on. To be there when your lonely and when your happy. Bring you everything that you ask and always listen to you. To understand and behold until I die."

"Now, let s exchange the rings."-judge Benson Alas.

We didn t make a move. I feel like I wanted to run. 'Maybe I am not ready yet. I think I don t want to—
