My Sweet Seduction

White Rose

“WILL YOU MARRY me tomorrow?”

As if I wanted to laugh at what he said. I turned my attention back to the beautiful city because I could

not find the answer.

“Tomorrow, I will marry you. I want to make sure you never leave me again, that you will never escape

me again.” I was swallowed up by what I heard.

“Do you agree?” My lips quivered at his question. I know I have no reason to refuse, but why is it so

fast?

“We are not yet ready, Lawrence.”

He groaned, he licked his lips, and it became redder.

“It takes one week to prepare. I make sure everything will be finalized and perfectly polished before I

discuss this with you.”

My lips parted in his revelation. So, this is the reason he did not see me for almost a week.

“I hate you!”

My two eyes started to heat up. I let go of his embrace and wiped away my tears.

“Hey, where are those tears coming from? Tell me.” He pulled my cheek and faced me. He caressed

my cheeks and slowly lowered his head to look at me evenly.

I thought he chooses Elliesse.

“What about your dad? You can lose everything if you continue to have a relationship with me.”

“I’m good and stable. I don’t need his money just to live. I have my own savings, and I will not fall if he

takes everything from me and leaves nothing at all. I can start a new life and build a new one—with you

and with our son.”

I do not know what to say at this point. Tears welled up again, and I couldn’t stop myself. My heartbeat

accelerates, this great pounding, this tremendous pressure. Nothing is running through my mind right

now, but what can happen tomorrow, in the coming days, and in the days to come with him.

“Please, marry me.”

AFTER A LONG cold night, the daybreak brought glimmers of warmth. The golden light softly caressed

my bare skin.

I smiled when I heard the birds chirping outside. I peeked into the quiet sea that greeted me. Until now,

I still can’t believe I’m here at the Saavedra Resort.

Too much happened I did not expect last night. Lawrence’s proposal to me was even more exciting. I

thought this would be the end of the road for me. But that was not what destiny wants to give me. He

gave me the best gift I ever wanted to receive.

I almost had a happy ending, but it was immediately withdrawn from me even before it happened. I

almost married the wrong person, the man I thought would give me happiness and not hurt me was

able to leave me and exchange with another woman.

But I’m contented with what life can give me. I will never look for anyone other than Lawrence and

Clarence.

While hugging the bathrobe, I headed to the veranda. The beautiful beauty of the beach and the blue

water greeted me.

I looked at the food on the round table with a white rose and a letter attached to it. I sat in the chair and

read the letter.

Sweetie,

Enjoy your breakfast and take some rest.

I want you to be beautiful later at our wedding.

I miss you so bad . . .

Love, Lawrence

My face heats up. I could not help but shudder while reading the letter.

Wait, I need to tell Mom and Dad as well as Cindy and the whole troop about my wedding. I took my

cellphone out of the bag and dialed our house’s number.

“Hello?” Sita’s voice answered.

“Good morning. This is Margaux. Is Mom there?”

“Oh, they left early earlier with Clarence. They said they would go to church after they went for a walk.

Why, Ate?”

I bit my lower lip hard and sat weakly on the side of the bed. “Nothing. I’ll just try to call on their

cellphone.”

I tried to contact them on their cellphone, but I couldn’t reach them.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I was slowly losing hope that they will not be able to come to my wedding. I also tried to call Cindy, but

she also did not answer my calls.

So I decided just to text them. Maybe they can read my text. Without hesitation, I put the cellphone on

the side table and went back to bed. I also lost my appetite. How else can I eat if my wedding is today?

I decided to take a bath and then only put on clothes after I was finished. I stared blankly at the mirror. I

can feel my heart pounding in my chest louder than a crashing wave. I still can’t believe this is

happening. I’m one step closer to my dreams—everyone’s dream. So I could not get rid of the intense

nervousness in my heart.

I stared for a few more minutes before a faint knock aroused me.

“Trix?!” I greeted her with a tight hug.

“Oh, girl, you didn’t tell me your wedding is today,” she said while she brought the makeup kit to the

table.

“I’m sorry, it was all of a sudden.”

“I promised to do your makeup on your wedding day. So, I flew over here.”

I smiled sweetly at her and hugged her tightly. “Thank you, Trixie!” I murmured.

After a while, she started fixing my hair and makeup. And after about an hour, I was able to breathe

properly.

“Nice! You’ll definitely be so beautiful later!” Trixie exclaimed when she finished my makeup.

This is the gown I chose, but I did not expect it to end quickly in less than a week.

“Thank you, Tanya. Are you with Mirasol?” I ask her who brought my gown.

“Yes!” she only sparsely answered me before turning on my back.

Later I was wearing the gown. I was taken aback when I saw myself in the full-length mirror. I can’t

believe how everything turned out. I never imagined my love story would turn into a fairytale, but at the

moment, it seems like I want to be Cinderella.

I bite down my lip. My emotions were mixed until my eyes filled with tears.

“Oh! Don’t cry. Your makeup will be ruined!” Trixie warned me.

I blew out a deep breath after facing her. “Thank you, Trix!” She only gave me a nod and glanced down

at her wristwatch.

“It’s time!” said Trixie. She did a few more checks on my hair before she opened the door for me.

I exited the suite as she supported my long gown at the back.
