Page 36 of His Cursed Heart

"Annihilate." He says quickly and Vincent points his little finger at his bodyguard.

"That! I will do that to you."

I refuse to believe that I'm speechless because of a four or five-year old.

"Your sister is safe with me, I promise." A deja vu

appears in my mind. This moment is exactly like the moment I promised Althea that I would take care of Keres. Another promise, but this time I will die before breaking it.

"My sister says that promises are useless." I lower myself onto one knee and I look his blue eyes.

"And your sister is right, but I will take care of her. For you." I say the words with authority.

"I don't like you." Vincent points the obvious.

"You will." I say with a smile.

"Keep dreaming." And he turns and leaves.

I look at the door, still speechless and Ivan shakes his head with a little smirk.

"That boy is your fiancé’s replica." I nod and say nothing.

Because it's obvious that Althea raised Vincent.

"Are you ready, sir?" I look at him and nod again.

It's now or never.

Even if I prefer the 'never' case.

Saints and angels are looking at me like I'm the Devil himself.

The church is full of people who are already gossiping like their life are depending on it.

I am at the altar, waiting for Althea to come down the aisle to me, but I know something is wrong because she isn't showing up, and my mom is not in the front

row next to my father.

I see Allan coming towards me and he stops next to Orion, in my left.

Allan wears a blue suit with diamonds on the collar of his shirt. His blond hair is perfect, and he looks like the groom.

"Your mother is desperate." He says with a smirk.

"Why? What happened?"

"We don't have a flower girl." A what?

"A flower girl." Orion makes sure he heard right.

"The girl who throws flower petals on the ground before the bride comes." Allan says offended.

"I know what a flower girl is, you don't need to tell me the definition." Orion says calmly.

"Then why are you asking?"

"And why is Mom desperate?" I cut in quickly, before Orion gets mad.
