Music For My Unspoken Words.... Chase Me For Your Second Chance
Chapter 302
"Never marry the one you can live with, marry the one you cannot live without." – Unknown Author
After Duke Rainer and Countess Grace have stated their vows to Harry and Amber they went back to their seats and it''s Prince Stephen and Countess Helen Rose turn to gave their vow to Isabele and Yuan. When Alexei saw his parents stand up and walk towards the center, he gulps a mouthful of saliva due to nervousness, which Cassie caught from her eyesight. Cassie also saw Alexei''s beads of sweat on her fiance''s forehead.??
"What''s wrong Honey?" Cassie asks Alexei full of concern. Luna also saw the beads of sweat from Alexei''s forehead, Luna knew how precious Isabele to the Voronov family. Especially when she became an international model that they need to cover up and disclose everything about her...it is for Isabele''s protection and security that they almost disowned her. Isabele and Alexei understand everything, also that they need to hide her involvement at HADES. Actually, the whole City of Wise discloses her identity for she was and will always be their Princess who loves to have a low-key life identity. "Alexei, don''t worry, Aunt Helen and Uncle Stephen will not eat Yuan alive nor they will skin him alive. They will just tell him their demands especially that Pretty Isa is now pregnant and it looks like that Yuan is one of her cravings," says Luna and smiled at him.
Alexei looks at Luna and sighs, "Moon, I am not afraid of whatever my father will demand nor request to Yuan, it is my mother that I am afraid of the most. You...actually we all knew that they are longing for so long to have grandchildren. The twins are their grandchildren but they can''t just pamper and dot the little bunnies for they reprimanded by Duke Lawrence. They envied Duke Lawrence for having the twins'' as his grandchildren, and I know that they will also demand me and Cassie to have little bunnies before marriage for Duke Lawrence will have other bunnies to come" Alexei worriedly replied to Luna and it makes Cassie gasp.
"And one of the worst scenarios that might happen was that Aunt Helen might seek the twins'' for help for Cassie to get pregnant before marriage and you Alexei and Cassie might not know that you are already intoxicated with the drug that the twins'' used to Isabele and Yuan," Marco informed the group. Francois chuckled and looks at Alexei "It seems that the great doctor Alexei is now pressured. Remember that its'' raining bunnies next year, we might not also know if our Eros and Soteira might hit the bullseye and the Phantom twins'' will also have bunnies for next year" Francois immediately tease Alexei that brought the whole group into laughter.
Their bantering was cut off when they heard the song Just The Two Of Us by Will Smith (youtube.com/watch?v=_WamkRSDeD8), the Knights eyes widen for they knew that Prince Stephen and Countess Helen Rose were once a power couple especially on the dance floor and this song was their favorite every time they will dance when Princess Jeuel was still alive.
The music only stops when the couple stops walking and faces the two newlyweds. But this time it was Prince Stephen who was holding his emotions and tears, while Countess Helen Rose was the one who started to speak for she could feel her husband''s body trembles. She knew that Isabele will always be her husbands'' little princess., and Alexei will be the one who will protect her forever.
"Yuan, Isabele my darling, Marriage is full of many ups and downs, adventures, and incredible memories with the person you love. Yuan, I knew why Isabele chooses you to become her husband... maybe because you made her laugh or she saw herself growing old with you. She also might saw that you will wipe all her tears. Hug her tight. Watched her succeed. Keep her strong whenever she falls. And I know as a husband you made a promise that you will not only be her husband but also a friend forever. My daughter is not perfect, she is stubborn and strong but she has a very soft spot in some cases, always remembers that as husband and wife relationsh.i.p.s are like the relationship of Tom and Jerry. Though they are teasing and fighting, but can''t live without each other. Lastly, as husband and wife may disagree on many things but they must absolutely agree on this: to never, ever give up." says Countess Helen Rose and she smiled while her hand was intertwined to Prince Stephens'' hand as she was now controlling her tears not to fall.
"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person, please promise us that you Yuan Xi will take good care of my little princess for I swear to God that if ever Isaw her cry because you hurt her nor cheated on her. I will feed your whole body to the Jaguars'' of Jamil. And even if you are Luna''s best friend, she will also join me on how to kill you 101. This is not a threat Yuan Xi but a promise" Countess Helen Rose added and that made Yuan gulp while Isabele laughs for her husband''s face became pale as white as paper. And it seems that Isabele''s laughter is an addicting drug that made everyone burst into laughter.
Then everyone went silent when they heard someone clears his throat, Prince Stephen inhaled deeply as he wants to gain some courage to make some speech. " Just like what Bruce Forsyth said, that the secret to a happy marriage is if you can be at peace with someone within four walls, if you are content because the one you love is near to you, either upstairs or downstairs, or in the same room, and you feel that warmth that you don''t find very often, then that is what love is all about. Yuan and Isabele, it''s not gonna be easy, the journey in marriage is not that easy. It''s going to be really hard; you two have gonna work at this every day in your life, everything will change, but I want to do that because both of you want each others company, then prove to us that you will not end up separating because you two belong to two different worlds. I know that both of you were dreaming forever, and starting from now your everyday life will become as one, as Yuan and Isabele Xi. Khalil Gibran once said; Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other''s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other''s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other''s shadow. I hope you two will always remember our words. Me and your mom, for marriage, stand the test of times when both you and your spouse work towards making things better. And we are tested the most when we face adversities. If you can sail through the adversities as one, as a team, then you have won half the battle." Prince Stephens'' inspiring words brought tears to both Amber and Isabele.
Even Luna, Rosela, and all the women at the dining hall were in tears upon hearing the inspirational words of Prince Stephen who was known as the cold-hearted Great Boss of HADES. The Knights, Ryder, Jamil, and Dimitri wipes the tears of their respective better half, Duke Lawrence did the same with Lily who is now sobbing, while Elder Lucas Cheung and Marcus coax their wives for they are not just in tears or sobbing...but their heart so touches on Prince Stephen''s words that made them cry like a river.
Allen and Edward were just silent as they memorize the Prince''s words on their head for they both knew that things will never be the same for Edward and Lily and only friendship could be called their relationship. While Louie just stared at Luna who is in Francois''s arms. Francois is hugging Luna and consoles her. Louie remembered a simple quote he read in one of the books that Luna used to read, Fawn Weaver said that the difference between an ordinary marriage and an extraordinary marriage is in giving just a little extra every day, as often as possible, for as long as we both shall live. Luna highlighted it and his name was written at the side of the quote. "If only I spend my everyday life with you, Luna...My Luna. We will never experience things like this, we could still be together" Louie said to himself.
