Sold to Mr. Arrogant novel Chapter 73

Gerald stood in front of me, I can't believe that the one who will walk with me on the aisle is actually the most one I wish to kill right at this moment. We crossed arms and headed towards the groom. Shawn was looking gently at me, he was fabulous, he wore a grey suit that matched his eyes' color.

His necktie was black and his hairstyle had changed a bit, he looked even more mature with this style. He gave me his hand which I grabbed helping me climb the stairs. I stood steadily facing him, we waited for the officiant to give his speech.

"Welcome family, friends, and loved ones. We are gathered today to celebrate the union of Lily Anderson and Shawn Gerald. We are all here to support this commitment of love and to share the joy of Lily and Shawn as they choose to spend their lives together... "

I couldn't hear the rest of his statement since I was so busy trying to make sure that dad and Jack aren't within the audience, I was too busy to remember that Jack would go crazy upon hearing the news of my marriage.

"Your dad refused to come, I also assure you that Jack won't be able to attend this happy day of ours," Shawn pointed out in a low volume.

"Why won't he?"

I already speculated that Shawn was the one who invited them, but what is this about Jack not being able to come?

"Is that what is important right now?"

"Yeah, I want to know what do you mean," I repeated.

"I just confirmed that no news would reach him and one of my men is already watching over him..." Shawn replied confused by my reaction.

I know that it was normal for me to think that Shawn did so but because of Gerald's threats and the things I know this family is able to do, I could not help myself but get worried.

When I looked ahead of me, the officiant had already finished his speech. We got congratulated by a lot of people. I met several members of Shawn's family, his family wasn't big but it was very effective in the industry.

I headed to my friends who gathered around a single table which is the bride's acquaintances.

"Congratulations, Lily," Diana started. She seemed hurt though, Jenny and Carla faked a smile as well. I can understand how they are feeling, their best friend didn't inform them of her wedding and did not even send them the invitations herself. I bet they think that I have changed into an arrogant brat.

"I am sorry I could not tell you any sooner..." I tried to come up with a real excuse but could not find any so I did not finish the sentence.

"It is okay..." Diana replied.

I turned around to speak with John and Tony who were enjoying the buffet's food.

"Damn, Lily. This food is really great... It is my first time tasting such a good taste," John said with the meat stuffed in his mouth and a stain found its way to his white chemise.
