CHAPTER 61: 61: WEDDING DAY

Sue

"Are you sure you really mean that? For all we know, you’re just saying this to make us think you don’t care about that anymore." Angelo shot back almost immediately, and while that might be true for someone else entirely, it was the complete opposite for me.

My parents hated me. Even my sister hates me. The rest of the pack got off on ridiculing me. I don’t actually care about them, me trying me protect them is just out of obligation I guess, cause I really grew up thinking I’d get to lead that pack, and that’s the only reason I felt a little projective over it, but I meant my words, if he’ll keep threatening me with jt, then he could really go destroy it.

"I meant my words." I said after a few seconds and he scoffed before dropping his hand from my body and then he dragged a hand across his face, while still looking extremely pissed off.

Meanwhile, I was still wondering why they were all so annoyed right now. The sight of the anger across their faces was so infuriating, the sight annoyed me so much, cause it doesn’t take long for me to think of these Same men in bed with another person, so why the fuck do they dare appear annoyed right now?

"Anyways, you’ll stay away from Hugo no matter what." Landon bit out this time I scoffed.

"And if I don’t?" I asked and he seethed as he approached me.

"We’ll... we’ll lock you up, after all, that’s where you belong after what your father did." He responded almost immediately and I scoffed, meeting his scowl head on.

"Well, that’s certainly better than me having to serve you three!" I yelled, fuming at the three of them.

"Perhaps I should run after Hugo right now so you’ll all see me with him right now, then you’ll have me locked up at once! That’s better than me having to serve you ever again." I gritted out through my gritted teeth then I scoffed, breathing out a laugh.

"And hey? In there, at least I’ll be able to eat as well, so that’s gonna be a win for me." I added and their brows furrowed.

"What does that mean?" Damon asked and I scoffed, suddenly wanting to be away from here at once.

"It doesn’t matter." I Muttered and turned to head back, but Landon holding my wrist prevent me from moving an inch.

"What did you mean by that statement? You’re not eating?" He asked and I hated that a stupid part of my mind was translating that question into him being caring.

"Well, this was what you all wanted, right? To punish me for something I never did, so why do you care?" I asked without glancing back at him. His grip on my wrist tightened, then he was tugging till I was left with nothing except to turn and stare at him.

"We— we definitely didn’t expect you to starve, nor did we order it. So, are you getting starved?" He asked again and again, I want to be stubborn and refuse to respond, but I didn’t eat a single thing throughout yesterday, and today as well, so I was beyond famished, and I guess the hunger ended up winning against my pride.

I reluctantly nodded.

The princes looked extremely furious after my response.

"What? Why? Who is starving you??" Angelo asked and again, I hated that I felt a small flutter in my chest. I coveted that feeling of confusion with a shrug.

"Lady Beatrice." I muttered and their lips went into a thin line at the mention of that name, naming me let out a scoff cause I was instantly reminded that they had once fucked her.

Talk about whores.

"We’ll rectify that right away." Landon ended being the one to respond and I remained silent, cause I hadn’t known what to say.

~~~

I didn’t know what to except for dinner that night especially seeing as I didn’t know if the Prince’s ended up doing as they said they would, but that night, lady Beatrice glared hard at me, and I was nerved a way larger portion than the rest of the girls, and my asprtmrnt of meat was a lot to pick from.

I ate till I was so filled up, then I fell asleep snc had that weird dream again, only to wake up gasping and feeling hot all over.

Before I could even begin to dwell on that dream, the doors were being thrown open and a maid I didn’t recognize was standing in the doorway, ordering everyone out cause apparently there’s a lot to be done today.

As I walked beside my two roommates, I asked them if they knew why everywhere seemed to be bursting so much c they had wary expressions on before Ada hesitantly responded.

"It’s the triplets wedding today, my lady."

Oh.

I had completely forgotten about that!

So, today is the day they’ll all get married to their betrothed brides, huh?

And today is also the day I’ll be fleeing as well.

Good.

Good.

My stomach tightened and I felt a queasy feeling settle deep within. Was that really as good as I’m claiming right now?

"Are you okay, my lady?" Isis asked and I gave her a faint nod while forcing a smile on, but I honestly didn’t think I was fooling anyone right now. Thankfully, they were both too polite to call me out on my lie.

"Let’s all get to work everyone!" Lady Beatrice announced loudly as she clapped her hand and everyone stood in a straight line.

As she walked past everyone, she assigned tasks to them from a book she was flipping through. When she stopped in front of me, she clicked her tongue as she announced, clearly staring me down cause I knew she must now hate me so much after what just happened last night, cause she definitely looked silly in front of the other maids last night cause they had definitely all been looking forward to be going down on my knees when I got too hungry to keep holding out.

"As the princes personal slave, you’ll have to go help them get ready for their wedding." As she spoke, her lips twitched almost mockingly, then she looked me over before speaking.

"I’ll advice that you run off right now, and of course, be sure to hide your tears till once you’re alone." She said and some of the girls laughs as i turned to leave for where I had just git assigned to, anger churning within me cause why the fuck do I have to see the princes before their wedding?? I had been counting on not having to do this, but I guess wistful thinking is sometimes unreliable.

~~~

The princes were all in shitty moods, which I was glad about, cause that way, they barely spoke to me, which was very fine by me.

For people getting married today, they all looked like they were being forced to do something they clearly didn’t want. I helped them into the suit jackets and remained silent, hating that I was breathing in their scents against their will, but it was white unfortunate that they all smell nice despite having horrible characters. That made me snort as I wondered if I might miss their scent after I successfully fled today.

"Do we look good?" Landon asked me as they all stood before me after doing his jacket up. I scowled at him in irritation, wishing I could slap him.

"Why the fuck am I being asked? You have a mirror."

"Are you still annoyed that you are not the one we’re getting married to today?" Angelo asked and I scoffed while glaring at him.

"Of course not! I never wanted to be married to you all in the first place. This is the part where I’m supposed to be rejoicing over the fact that I managed to escape that fate of I’m not presently being forced to work as a slave." I added and Angelo snorted but said nothing till they all began to walk past me.

"This is the part where you suck it up, Sue." He said as he brushed past me and I seethed, my hands getting clenched by my sides.

In the large venue where the wedding was being held, there was so much crowd and everyone was clearly happy. Even the king was beaming brightly.

But the princes looked like they’d rather be anywhere but here, putting clear emphasis on the fact that they were doing this against their will, and I almost felt bad for their betrothed brides who were all grinning brightly beside their scowling men.

As they all exchanged vows, the princes refused to mark or kiss them.

The priest tried explaining that those steps were important but the princes only barked at the priest to hurry it up, and I hated to admit it but that made me feel a little smug towards the betrothed brides.
