His Purchased Wife novel Chapter 164

"Emily Smith, Do you take Alexandrio Kyschove, as your loyally wedded husband?"

"I do."

There was applause from the people gathered to witness the joyful wedding ceremony of Emily and Alexandrio. Aurora was smiling ear to ear watching the ceremony for a moment she imagined herself and Liam taking the sacred wedding vows.

Liam's eyes went to Aurora's happy face. Now, he was even more determined to propose to her today. The seductive wedding atmosphere was a plus point on his plan. Today, she would say yes to him.

Susan's eyes drifted to Ralph for a nanosecond. He was looking at the bride and groom with an unreadable expression on his face. Susan looked away from him. He was no one in her life anymore. She was right when she told Emily that she was lost for a moment but she found herself again, this love and relationship was not for her.

She was happy in her one-night stand lifestyle, there won't be heartbreaks or pain anymore. She reminded herself of the promise she made to herself that she would not let her mother's fate rub in into hers.

Ralph Knight watched his brother Liam standing beside Dmitry Kyschove, one of his biggest rivals. He was lost for words when he saw him standing behind Alexandrio as his best man after what he planned for him to achieve his goal.

Ralph looked down, he couldn't see the happy face of Alexandrio when he knew that everything could change after a month. Liam was not going to wait a single day more after Alexandria's honeymoon period is over.

"Do you, Alexandrio Kyschove, take Emily Smith, as your loving wedded wife?" The priest asked.

"I do." Once again the hall erupted with loud clapping. Emily whispered 'I love you' to Alexandrio with teary eyes.

He mumbled the same back to hers. Both seize the moment in their hearts and minds. Their smiles could make the moon jealous today.

"Because they have pledged themselves to each other in the presence of God and the witnesses, I now pronounce them as husband and wife," the priest announced. A trail of happy tears strolled down Emily's face.

"You may kiss the bride…" the priest said and Alexandrio stepped forward and placed his lips on hers for a soft kiss. "I love you, wife." He mumbled after the kiss.

"I love you too, husband," she replied, hugging him. After a moment they walked as husband and wife while people showered them with wishes and warm words for their future.

Dmitry moved to his brother, "I am happy for you, brother."

Emily hid a little behind Alexandrio, hardly maintaining the smile on her face. Alexandrio hugged his brother. If he would not have allowed him to live his life the way he wanted he would never have met Emily. He was forever grateful for this to Dmitry.

"Thank you for always being there for me." Dmitry nodded. Public display of emotions was not his forte. He felt a vibration in his pocket and excuse himself from them.

"Are you still not comfortable around him?" Alexandrio asked his newly wedded bride.

Emily sighed. "I don't know him, his aura holds this darkness, I can't define it but I find it difficult to be myself in his presence."

He chuckled. "I am thinking about the dance you have to do with him after four first dances."

"Oh no!"

"Oh yes!"

Emily hides in his arms. "I guess you can't keep your hands to yourself anymore."

Emily jerked away from her husband when She heard Liam's teasing voice.

"I wish you both a happy wedding life."

Ralph who was standing behind his brother chuckled at that. "I wish you both the same, pal."

Liam gritted his jaw, hearing the jab in his brother's voice. But he didn't let his emotions show on his face. "I would love to see you be the next standing at the aisle, Liam."

"I wish the same."

"You mean, you proposed to Aurora?" Emily asked, but Liam shook bis head. "I did once but she declined but I think, this time, she would say yes."

Emily smiled when she saw Aurora and Susan coming to her, "I am so happy for you Em, I couldn't stop crying happy tears. You look like an angel."

Susan nodded. "You do, I can't believe how time passed so quickly, it was just a few years ago we met and today you are married."

Aurora hugged Emily and Susan joined them. Aurora allowed Susan to touch her, she wanted to feel her arms around her. She missed her best friend. "Okay now stop making me emotional, girls."

They kissed their dear friend with worlds of happiness and love ahead. "If you both allow, may I dance with my bride?"

Aurora laughed at that and pushed Emily towards him. "You may, Mr Kyschove but let me warn you, if you ever hurt my Em, I will kill you with my bare hands."

Susan laughed at that, "you can't kill a fly, Aurora let alone a man…" she said but stopped and looked away from her. Her eyes once again went to Ralph who was talking to a girl. Their eyes met for a moment and he looked away as if she was no one to him.
