The Wedding
Tick Tock Tick Tock.
The sound of a clock was the only thing heard in a white dressing room.
Tinsley looked into the mirror motionlessly and a beautiful young lady in an expensive white wedding
dress stared back at her.
The young lady's lips were quivering and tears began to pool in her eyes but not wanting to ruin her
wedding make-up, Tinsley picked up a handkerchief and used it to clean the trace gently and quickly.
A pathetic smile hung on Tinsley's lips and so she reached out her hand but before she could touch the
mirror…
"It's time for the bride to appear, Lillee are you done?" Someone asked which made Tinsley quickly
dump the veil on her head and fixed it back.
The door was suddenly unlocked from outside which made Tinsley raise her head.
Her mom, Mrs. William's figure appeared to her through the mirror which made Tinsley's eyes
reddened more.
"Tinsley," Mrs. William called. "Remember not to alert Conrad. Just do it for us and your elder sister,
please." Mrs. William said, but there was no trace of sadness or remorse on her face which made the
pathetic smile on Tinsley's eyes grow wider.
Yes, it was only about them and Lillee they cared about which was the reason why they didn't fail to
make Tinsley stand as a substitute bride on Conrad and her elder sister, Lillee's wedding.
"Okay." Tinsley replied in a shaky voice. Her lips were quivering but everything was well-hidden by the
veil.
Mrs. William continued to give out warnings like she had been doing since the very beginning, "Don't
talk to anyone except it's extremely compulsory and you're Lillee until Lillee is back from the modeling
show." Mrs. William continued to inform.
Not at all caring to ask about how Tinsley is coping up with being used as a substitute bride but Tinsley
was already used and numb to it. Lillee was always the apple of her parents eyes while she was just
nobody.
"As long as you do everything I say, you can successfully pass the role of Lillee." Mrs. William
explained which made her nod.
Mr. William suddenly appeared in Tinsley's view. "Did you hear all your mom asked you to, you mustn't
mess it up." her father warned coldly which made her nod silently.
"Please come out, Lillee William."
Tinsley stood up and walked to Mr. William who immediately held her hand with a fake smile on his
face.
Tinsley's heart fell thinking about how cruel and selfish her family was when it comes to her
--+---
Conrad's cold face was soon replaced with a wide smile when he saw the approaching figure that was
being held by Mr. William. Conrad's happiness was vivid to everyone. After all, how wouldn't he?
Conrad and Lillee had always been childhood sweethearts who swore to love each other for eternity.
Unfortunately, Lillee was invited to a modeling show out of the country and so she had pushed all the
wedding aside to pursue the dream that would finally make her famous.
Tinsley and Lillee could easily pass for each other because they have the same body structures which
they took from their mother, Mrs William, but that thought wasn't enough to assure Tinsley because
Conrad always recognizes the love of his life.
And that made Tinsley's heart caught in her throat as she made way toward him.
'This was all wrong! Everything was all wrong!' she trembled with fear. But she had no choice than to
follow her parents' order. You mustn't mess it up.
'Do you, Conrad Norton, take Lillee William to be your wedded wife….'
The wedding vows, everything that was being said continued to flash in her ears and like a machine,
Tinsley continued to give answers like a robot.
"You may now kiss your bride." The pastor said which caused an eruption of claps from the massive
crowds.
Tinsley's mouth immediately turned dry and her heartbeat immediately sped up.
Didn't mom and Dad say there'll be no kissing of the bride in order to not blow her cover? Tinsley
thought in confusion.
Her heart began to pound as Conrad suddenly held her waist and pulled her closer toward him with a
mischievous smirk playing on his face.
And before her hand could fly toward the veil to cover herself tightly, Conrad suddenly reached for the
veil and threw it away.
At that minute, the party seems to undergo a massive change as everything stops. The noise and claps
Immediately fell silent as the bride turns out to be Tinsley not Lillee.
The church was so silent that one could hear the sound of breathing but that wasn't what scared
Tinsley; it was Conrad's smirk that immediately turned back into a cold and furious expression, Conrad
looked like he was about to strangle Tinsley to death.
"Where's Lillee?" Conrad's booming voice resounded in her ears which made Tinsley's mouth dry.
Tinsley's body began to tremble and she looked towards her parents and casted a helpless gaze at
them but no one looked at her side which made a fearful feeling RI wash over her. But wait, why does
her parents frown as if they didn't know about this?
Conrad raised his hand slightly as if he wanted to slap Tinsley's face which made her hurriedly take
steps back in fear. But in a few seconds his hand made way to ruffle his hair.
Conrad wouldn't dare slap her now considering his status as a famous actor and that the wedding
show was being played live on all the famous tv stations and social media, "How dare you pretend to
be Lillee. I said, "Where's Lillee?" Conrad asked her with a contemptuous gaze which made tears
pooled into her eyes.
A burst of fury seems to make way into every of the party attendants and many hands pointed toward
Tinsley with disgust.
Tinsley gulped and stuttered in fear while looking at her parents to say something, "I..."
What should Tinsley say? That Lillee chose the modeling gig that could give her the fame she wanted
over Conrad and their wedding. And her parents repeatedly begged her to substitute for Lillee until she
was back.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
