Chapter 118-Sherry’s POV – Happy ending?
I couldn’t believe it had already been months and what was more unbelievable was the fact that Rose was my bride’s maid.
I mean, I didn’t want to hold anymore grudges. I told Ryan to sort things out with his father as well. We both went together to ask for his blessing before our wedding.
“This one seems like a changed girl, my boy. You better be careful. ” He had jokingly said, or was it a joke at all? I was indeed a different species at the moment. Not the weak human who had caught his eye.
” You look stunning. I think I should keep an ambulance ready for Ryan. ”
Rose jokes. She had done all the wedding preparations by herself. She had even helped me with deciding on the dress. A very unique design.
A high neck, see through corset dress with a very light weight trail.
It had some pearl detailing on the veil that I was wearing and it matched the set that I was wearing as well.
” Thank you for everything Rose. I know it must have been hard for you…. ”
” Oh, don’t mind. It was nothing. I am used to worse sorts of duties, trust me. I couldn’t have asked for a better… ”
” That’s not what I meant. I mean your feelings… for Ryan. ” I cut her short before she could end. She gulped. She clearly wasn’t over him yet.
” So you could see. ”
We hadn’t actually talked about it, face to face but we had an unspoken agreement.
” Then I will be very frank with you. No need for any more veil. Well, Ryan was the first person who treated me like a real person, irrespective of my profession. I had a lot of men touch this body Sherry but he was the first to touch his heart. So, if you are asking me if it was hard or not, well, I will be honest, it was. But I have seen him before you came to his life. So I can say that you are the only one whom he truly loved in all his life. And I am willing to let him have that love which I couldn’t have. And I am willing to be a part of that. ” I could feel her voice cracking, ” and if I put that aside, I found a great friend in you Sherry. I was willing to let anything as trivial as my personal feelings get in the middle of that. ”
And she kissed my cheeks subtly, wiping her tears.
” Besides, I am an assassin. I am young. I am sure I will get a chance to shoot at more hearts.
Now…. come on … come on… come on… hurry up….. Do you want to get late for your own wedding? ”
She was right. I was already running late.
My limo was waiting outside.
” You go ahead Rose. I just need a moment with myself.”
” Don’t be too late or I might steal your spotlight. ” she winked and was gone.
And then it began.
It started feeling like I was having a very bad cramp and then it began feeling like a heart attack.
“No…. No….. ”
I fell on the floor trying to reach for my mobile, while it rolled off.
And then everything blacked out.
I was back in that white, infinite room again, but this time I didn’t pass through the glass tunnel.
” Welcome back! ”
That voice greeted me.
” Why am I here? I need to go…. I have a wedding. ”
I was getting too impatient. I was panicking.
” Hold on little one. Don’t you remember your promise? ”
My promise?
Yes, that deal. That deal to come back.
” Yes. Yes I do. What is it that you want me to do? ”
I asked in a hurry.
” Patience dear one. Patience is the key. Your task will need time…. ”
” How much time? ”
I was literally tapping my foot.
” Days… months…. could even be years….. it’s not for me to say. ”
” No… No way. I have my wedding… ”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
” Stepping back from what you said might alter the course of your known history. Choose a little one. Life is all about the choices that we make. ”
No. That was not an option.
” Wait. I am not backing off from my promise. But I just need you to give me a moment. Just a few minutes back in my world. I need to be texting a goodbye. “
