Emily’s Dilemma: Seduced by Billionaire Brothers

“So tell me again why you’re getting married again, or better still renewing your vows when you just got married” Cheryl asked her Emily while they sat together in her dressing room getting ready for yet another wedding. Emily looked at her old friend, surprised to see her wearing a cute buzz cut instead of her usual bright dyed hair colors. It’d been a while she had seen Cheryl, more like since her last wedding but Cheryl had been touring round the country since then but she had to make sure she was back for the second wedding.

“We’re getting married this time for real” Emily said, amused at her friend’s unbelievable expression.

“As opposed to the fake one you did the first time or what? I haven’t even had one wedding but you’re having two and what? In the span of 6 months?”

“Come on Cheryl” Emily laughed, staring at her reflection in the full length mirror before her, her dress was white and flowing in inches on the pristine floor, almost as elegant as her first wedding dress but she had gone for something simpler this time even though the bigger was bigger than the last and only this time, Jackson was attending and was in fact Ethan’s best man. Ethan had asked him, wanting to e the bigger person but it felt more like a daring gesture, she had agreed to do this, to let Ethan go and focus on her marriage with Ethan.

She felt the nervous jitters, even with the air condition in the dressing, her brow still furrowed with slight perspiration. She was getting married the second time to the same person, why did she still feel this way? Nervous and out of space. Her head banged with a dull ache and sometimes her vision doubled, her fingers trembled until Cheryl placed a comforting hands over them.

“You’re fine” she smiled at her, and Emily returned the smile, feeling a little bit of normalcy return to the air, but for some reason she still felt dizzy.

Just then, one of the servers walked in with a bouquet of red roses in her hands as she walked briskly towards Emily with a passive expression and she handed the bouquet of roses to Emily without as muc as an eye contact while Emily beamed and Cheryl doing the same thing next to her. There was a note hidden amongst the thorns and Emily fished it out with her dainty hands, careful enough not to hurt herself. She opened to small handwritten note, and she smiled when she read it

To the most beautiful bride ever

“Awww, that’s so sweet” Cheryl cooed beside her and Emily could feel her cheeks turning red, just as the door pushed open gently and Emily saw Jackson peek his head, a small frown settled on her face.

“Can we talk?” he asked, fully walking in now and Emily stayed with her eyes fixed on him, even though it was hard to.

“It’s almost time” she said

“Just some minutes” Jackson said and Emily threw Cheryl a look and she excused herself immediately. Emily set the flowers aside when her finger got caught in thorns, drawing blood as red as the roses as she winced “Ow!”

Immediately, Jackson rushed to her side picking the hurt finger and taking it to his lips to stop the bleeding, his lush lips staining even redder with her blood and she pulled her hands away from him.

“What are you doing?” she gave him an odd look but he held her hands still.

“Stay still” he said “I’m trying to stop the bleeding”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Emily watching press his thump gently to her finger, but at that point she felt tired of the back forth and she pulled her hands away from him.

“What do you want to say?” she said and he shrugged

“I just wanted to see you, and congratulate you, this time it’s real. I wasn’t at the first one and I’m just happy to be here”

“Right” Emily scoffed, looking at him through the hood of her eyes, it was almost impossible to hold his stare but Jackson seemed to do it with ease.

“For what it’s what Emily, I really do ”

“Don’t” she stopped him halfway “Don’t say it, don’t say anything . Don’t ruin it with your sweet words that mean nothing, your sugar coated lies and don’t look at me either with those eyes”

“What happened to my eyes, what’s wrong with them?” Jackson asked this time, sincerely confused and Emily rolled her eyes

“Just go!” she yelled, turning away from him to not watch him and the moment she heard the door closed, it opened immediately again and she whipped around ready to yell him off but it was just Cheryl

“It’s time”

As Emily walked slowly on the aisle, everyone had their eyes on her but she kept her eyes focused on Ethan who smiled at her, his eyes clouded with the love she was desperate to return but wasn’t sure how. Slowly, the panic set in as the memories from the first wedding began to flood her memories. What if something went wrong? What if she got kidnapped again? The what ifs threw themselves at her and there was no way to stop it, the dizziness returned but she was determined to see this true. It has to go well, everything had to go well.

When she reached Ethan, he took her hand leading her up to the altar where the priest stood, his expression screaming approval as Ethan held her lovingly.

“You look so beautiful” he whispered and a crimson shade appeared on her cheeks

“Thank you for the roses” she whispered back to him and Ethan had a confused brow raised

“What roses?”

“The roses with the note, I thought ” she was yet to complete her statement when the priest interrupted their whispered discussion and she looked over at Jackson who stood behind Ethan, his eyes were on her already, and she could read his expression. He sent those roses to her, why? Why would he do that when he was engaged?

Emily pulled her eyes away from him, ignoring the conflicting emotions that were rising within her and she focused her eyes on Ethan instead who still glowed in admiration for her.

It went on smoothly and when Ethan read his vows to her, she felt the painful sting of tears hit her eyes even with her conflicted emotions but then, the air got tense the moment the priest asked “Is there anyone who would not like this two to stay married, speak now ”

“I do!” someone yelled from the crowd and Emily felt her heart skip a beat, the dizziness returned as she turned around to find Anita on her feet, a large smile on her face and then she pointed at Ethan.

“I’m pregnant with Ethan Hatton’s child”

Emily’s heart stopped for a good minute and she didn’t realize it when she turned around and bolted out of the hall, Ethan yelling her name behind as the whole crowd burst into murmurs.

Her wedding day was ruined yet again.
