Chapter 262 - Wedding 2

Everyone focused their attention on the beautiful bride till they got in front of the altar.

Leo took Clara's hand from Mick and released it after she was standing in front of him, looking at her like the most beautiful thing in the world, while Clara smiled in return.

Sonya also smiled beside her, because she was so happy and couldn't find a word to describe her feelings, same with Tim the best man, who was standing beside Leo.

Sonya's stomach has developed a lot and the only thing making people unable to know her condition was the loose outfit she chose.

It was a purple lace gown with the upper body s.e.xy, revealing her swell b.r.e.a.s.t that has been increasing in size slowly and her straight shoulders which was shown, since the clothes were off at the shoulder area.

The flare has so many pleating and flow all the way down, obstructing one's view from her pregnancy.

While Tim was also putting on a black suit, with a pink shirt, looking so beautiful and already stealing the girl's heart along with the groom of the day.

His eyes have met with Sonya a few times, but surprisingly, she doesn't look angry like she usually does.

Probably because she doesn't want to sour her mood on her friend's special day.

And he found her incredibly hot.

"You look amazing." Leo complimented Clara in a hush tone.

Clara smiles, before squinting her eyes, "why are you looking at me like that?" She asked, as it seems like if staring were bullets, her entire being will be filled with holes from Leo's stare.

She wasn't discreet with her question because this is her first time in a wedding event and it's her own

And yeah, she doesn't hide her feelings.

The audience burst into laughter at her question, while Leo grinned and finally averted his gaze.

Sonya giggled. 

The priest soon took over the mic and everyone was silent.

He talks about these two hearts that have come as one and wanted to crown it by tying the knot.

He gave a few more speeches and the couples were asked to say their vows and exchange rings.

Leo started.

"Clara, I vow to give it my all to make you feel like the woman you wish to be. I'm going to respect and cherish you, treat you with care and honesty, and make you feel like you found your other piece, not just a husband, also to love you with all my heart and soul.

To value your opinion and not impose my will on you. To make you the happiest woman on earth till death do us part." Leo said his vow and slipped the ring in her finger, while the dumb Clara wonder why he mention other piece out of nowhere, but that was a really good speech that made her heart feel so light.

It was her turn.

"Leonard, I vow to be a good wife, to accept the treatment and care you have to offer, shower you with love and affection as you treat me the same. To respect and also be honest with like you said, bring you peace of mind and make you feel like you find the one, not just a wife. A part of you.

And to make you the happiest man on earth, till death do us part." She said.

"And we can finally do it in peace." She said that part in her mind, flashing Leo a cunning smile, which Leo returned with a 'proud of you' look.

The audience were dumbfounded by her vow.

'Is this what she had in mind when she said she knew what to say?' Sonya thought in her mind and nearly sighed out loud, before the priest pronounced them husband and wife, and asked Leo to kiss his bride after the ring exchange.

He moved closer to her with his eyes smiling seductively and placed both palms to either sides of her face before closing in on her lips and sucked on the lower one, while Clara did the same to his upper lips, chuckling in between.

The audience knocked out of their awestruck at Clara's vow and clapped their hands enthusiastically as the two shared their kiss.

Ella couldn't stop smiling at where she sat beside Reuben, who was holding her hand.

But that was the last part a certain someone couldn't withstand. Sharon and her friend, Angela were present, sitting in the last row with a hat on their head.

They stood and left after the newlyweds shared a kiss. 

Sharon looks like she will explode at any moment from now.

They clapped repeatedly as Leo hugged her waist and held his wife. It was a dream come true.

Everyone was preparing for the next phase. Planning to move to the dance floor and shake their body, when the emcee asked them to hold on a moment, as there is a special announcement. 

They all relaxed back on their seats and waited eagerly for the special announcement.

The young man smiled smugly and everyone has their gaze fixated on him

He turned towards Sonya and she looked confused."Miss Sonya here and Mr Timothy will be having their wedding very soon. Taking this opportunity to announce that another couple is on the way. The celebration of new love birds." He said, smiling, as she points at Tim as well.

The audience cheered and applauded them. 

Clara pinched Leo's arm and giggled in his embrace, because they had planned it together after all.

It was Leo who brought up the idea that Sonya needed a push and assured her that Tim is ready to do anything now.

Clara didn't want to interfere much, but she's getting married and Sonya would be left alone now.

She couldn't take the risk, except giving Leo's suggestions a try and here they were, executing the plan.

The females that visited for the purpose of hitting on the hot CEO who spent lavishly were shocked and looked at Sonya.

What a rotten luck.

Their coming here was for a waste. And also, it's been so long Tim hit on women or look at those displaying their charms in front of him.

Seems like this is the reason. They couldn't find anything wrong with the woman he chose, because Sonya looked so very beautiful in her purple dress, skin so smooth and smiles alluring.

They told themselves to wait and see if Tim would be loyal.

If he wasn't and still sleeps around, they wouldn't mind taking the chance, since it's for a mutual interest anyway.

Sonya had an awkward smile on her face, trying not to act out of place, while Tim smiled so brightly after getting over the shock.

He cursed Leo in his mind because even he had no idea this would be Leo's plan. 'He should have told me about this.' He thought.

'Also, isn't this kind of announcement at a wedding kind of awkward?' He asked himself, confused, but if it really changes Sonya's mind, it's cool with him.

Most couples will want their wedding to be about them alone, so using it to help him, he felt very grateful. 

He took the mic and thanked them, while Sonya just kept forcing a smile.

That was it. They moved to the next thing.

The couples got to the dance floor and opened it with their dance moves that made the audience laugh as both were planning to make it simple and move slowly.

They've practiced a dance style which they showcased and had fun as others joined in. They began to exchange partners and kept the dance floor lively.

Tim also asked Sonya to dance with him. She agreed, trying to act civil but as people came to exchange partners, he refused to let go and kept holding her.

"You look amazing." He said.

"Thanks." She replied.

"Your hair. It was well made. Suits your almond eyes." He said again.

"Thanks." She replied and soon, she said she wanted to sit down, before he let her go.

Somehow, her heart couldn't stop racing.

Her eyes followed his tall future as he smiled with his friends and danced with Ella.

She nearly smiled, before cautioning herself, wondering what's funny.

"That was an interesting move." Ella said to Tim.

"It's all Leo. I was also stunned." He replied and she wished him good luck.

Clara was being exchanged with their close ones, including Belle and her friend, Mick and others, when someone showed up.

"May I have a dance with you Mrs Raymond?" A voice was heard from behind her.

She turned around and looked at the hot stud in front of her with a confused expression. "You look familiar, wait wait Leo's nephew?" Clara asked with uncertainty.

Her eyes kept boring into his own.

"Call me brother in law." Alex said as he placed his left hand behind Clara's back, holding her hand with the other one and began moving, while Clara had an astonished expression on her face, but still moved along.
