Chapter 0042 

The wedding ceremony went just as planned. I felt cold as David slipped the ring onto my finger and made his vows, but I smiled with tears in my eyes. 

David’s possesive words during the ceremony unsettled me, but I couldn’t dwell on it. He hadn’t been so forward in the original timeline. 

He must have been more unsettled by the public drama between us than I realized. He obviously wanted my adoring gaze only on him so that no one would think there was still tension between us. 

I obliged. It was better for me if it seemed I was still deeply in love with him. 

Afterwards, David and I went around to every table to greet our guests and thank them for attending. 

Everyone told us how beautiful the ceremony was. Many people complimented the table décor, and even more complimented my dress, which I proudly told them had belonged to my grandmother, who had passed away shortly after I was born. 

David responded to the compliments by bragging, of course 

“The ring is really something, don’t you think?” he said as he grabbed my wrist and held my hand out to show off the diamond. 

“It’s nice,” the luna of Briar Rose agreed. “Did you choose it yourself, David?” 

“It’s a family heirloom,” he said proudly. “It belonged to my grandmother.” 

“That’s such a sweet gesture,” the luna said kindly. 

I stared down at the small diamond. It was a simple gold band with a small solitaire diamond. It couldn’t be more than a half carat. It was nice, b hardly worth bragging about the way that David was 

After we had gone to every table, it was announced that dinner was ready, and we returned to the head table to eat, 

There were speeches and toasts, but I found it difficult to focus on them. There was so much going on around us, and everyone seemed to be having such a good time. It was a relief, but it also upset me because I knew that none of it was real. 

I wasn’t a happily married woman celebrating with my friends and family; this was all just a show, and in a few more hours, it would be exposed. 

As much as I knew that this plan had to move forward and I had to show everyone the truth about David, it still hurt to know that all of this happiness was ultimately for nothing. 

My mother must have noticed that I seemed off. She switched seats with my father so that she could sit next to me, then leaned in and softly asked, “Why aren’t you eating?” 

1 looked down at my barely touched plate. “I am,” I said, “and the food is delicious. I just…” 

“It’s important that you eat and keep your strength up,” she reminded me. “We still have a long night ahead of us. 

I nodded. She had no idea how right she was. 

“Can I ask you a question?” I said, looking up at her. 

“Anything you want,” she replied. 

“Why didn’t you offer me Grandma’s dress in the first place?”
