Chapter 11
At dusk, the bell in the church rang through the sky.
The priest in the front who was wearing a priest costume came to the church altar and began to read. “This is the wedding of Mr. Aman and Ms. Chloe Bishop. Mr. Aman and Ms. Chloe Bishop are ready to form a marriage ceremony in front of God. All distinguished guests, please bear witness to this marriage.”
Ragib and other well-dressed friends at the ceremonial table applauded symbolically.
In fact, there were only a dozen guests present, because Aman held the wedding suddenly and there were not many friends who had changed into formal clothes.
Through the lens, the priest held the thick Scripture in his hands and asked, “Chloe Bishop, are you willing to marry Aman and be engaged to him? Will you have and hold from this day forward, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, for better for worse, to love, honor, and cherish, ’til death do you part?”
Chloe clenched her fists tightly.
Chloe, 19 years old, had not graduated from university. In her most beautiful and brilliant youth, she walked into the church of the wedding with a man whom she had known only a few days ago without the witness and blessing of her relatives.
And she had to make a vow in front of God now. She was willing to let this man become her legal husband, to get engaged to him, and to be loyal to him for the rest of her life.
She was going to get married and become someone else’s legal wife… What would happen to her in the future?
Zayn Ali’s face flashed in front of Chloe. When he pursued her, he said, “Men are all unfaithful, but it depends on his woman. Any man can be loyal when he met a woman he really loves. So other women are no longer important to me because I meet you. I only love you…
But he lied to her… He didn’t love her but wanted to make Bishop Limited become a company owned by Ali Enterprises.
Before she dropped out of school, Rob grabbed her hand desperately and said, “Sister, don’t marry zayn. I love you!”
Chloe bit her lip and felt a heart-wrenching pain. At that time, she said, “I’m sorry, but I love Zayn…”
She suddenly hated Zayn for deceiving and exploiting her. If it weren’t for him pursuing her, she wouldn’t have loved him, and Rob wouldn’t have done such a thing to her…
Now, her father in the Bishop family, who always doted on her, also broke the relationship with her and drove her out of the Bishop family…
She had no way but to get married. She had to rely on this nominal marriage.
She raised her face and sobbed. “I… do.” She answered hesitantly, and her voice was almost inaudible.
A big warm hand held her hand…
It was like a warm stream of warmth flowing into her heart.
“…” Chloe’s eyes widened and she looked at Aman, who was holding her hand next to her.
“Don’t be distracted,” he said in a low voice that only they could hear, “It’s not a bad thing for you to marry me.”
Chloe calmed down, took a deep breath, and said in a louder voice,
“Yes, I do.”
“Then Mr. Aman.” The priest continued to ask Aman in front of the sacrificial hall. “Are you willing to marry Miss Chloe Bishop and be engaged to him? Will you have and hold from this day forward, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, for better for worse, to love, honor, and cherish, ’til death do you part?”
Aman glanced at Chloe and said straightforwardly, “I do.”
Chloe was surprised by his calmness. He didn’t have much of a reaction when he married. He lived up to his name as the first president of America.
The priest smiled and closed the Scripture. “Now, please exchange the rings and kiss with an oath. You are married here.” Chloe’s body froze…Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The kiss of oath?
Aman was much calmer. He said to John, “Bring me the ring.”
John immediately brought a tray covered with velvet, on which there were two rings.
“Chloe looked at Aman ‘s incredibly charming face through the veil.
“He even prepared a ring?”
“Give me your hand,” Aman said.
Chloe raised her hand to him.
“Your right hand.” Aman cast her a mild glare.
Chloe looked at her hand and then let go of her left hand and raised her right hand…
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd behind him. Someone said, “I bet Mr. Aman will be distressed with this little wife in the future. Why does he like such a young girl? Did he change his preference?”
“This afternoon, rumor has it that Miss Bishop said Zayn Ali is impotent, Haha! Zayn Ali really lost his face this time!”
“Speaking of adultery… could that man be Mr. Aman?”
The crowd immediately fell into silence. Ragib mouth twitched because that person was CEO Aman.
Yesterday, he only proposed to let Aman marry Miss Bishop. Who knew that Aman would really marry Miss Bishop today. He did not expect it at all
At the end of the church, Aman picked up a ring and put it on Chloe’s finger. He gently stroked her finger with his thumb. “Will you feel wronged if you marry me?”
Hearing the voices behind her, Chloe blushed and lowered her head. “… No, I won’t. At least your salary must be very high.”
Aman’s hand ceased moving suddenly.
He put her hand down and said, “Yes, it’s very high.”
Chloe’s hand trembled a little when she put the ring on his finger. His fingers were slender and white, and the joints were clear to see. His nails were trimmed clean and round as if they were a beautiful work of art.
Chloe felt like she was holding two noble hands. After shaking her hands a few times, she put finally the ring on him. “… Well, when did Mr. Aman buy the ring? I only agreed to get married to you two hours ago.”
Aman took his hand back and said, “After you left Dejor this morning. I also booked the church and your wedding dress.”
“…”Chloe’s eyes widened. “In the morning?”
When she came out of Dejor Luxury Club, she didn’t promise him to get married! She even ran away when she knew that he was 29 from the Internet-
Although the man in front of her was so handsome that he didn’t look like a twenty nine-year-old man. She could not keep her eyes off from this man, who was clad in a white tuxedo.
She remembered his sexy figure and eight abdominal muscles when he came to the swimming pool….
Chloe swallowed her saliva, even though it was spineless.
“I have said that you don’t get to refuse.” When she was lost in thoughts, Aman suddenly took her slender waist and kissed her on her lips through her veil.
Chloe was stunned!
The ritual is completed!” After seeing them finishing the kiss of pledge, the priest said, “Congratulations to the new couple!”
Then the wedding in this church was over.
Aman walked down the steps of the church, surrounded by his friends who all came from rich families. He wore a long white tuxedo that reached his legs. He seemed tall among others. A smile appeared on his usually aloof face. His teeth were white. He was as gentle as a nobleman should be.
…”Chloe looked at this handsome man with a bit of blankness in her eyes.
She should not have said that he was a middle-aged man. Even if he was, he was still the most handsome middle-aged man in the world. Even those young celebrities on TV were far less handsome than him!
Hearing the congratulations from these friends of the top wealthy families, Aman just smiled and said, “Since you have come, surely you have brought gifts to us. Hurry up and bring them to us.”
