The Wedding Party:Battle Between My Lover and His Ex

LORENA

I picked up his ring and got ready to speak

"My beloved Raul, I promise to love and honor you, to stand by your side through all of life's ups and downs, to support your passions, and to be your partner in every sense of the word. I vow to be your confidante, your friend, and your soulmate, to laugh with you, cry with you, and build a life together that is filled with love, joy, and happiness. I choose you today, and every day, to be my husband, my rock, and my forever love. I love you now and forever.”

I wore the ring on his finger and everyone cheered on, clapping their hands and whistling with their mouths.

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.” the priest announced and once again, everyone clapped and whistled.

Things went well for a while and I was beginning to feel at ease and to find my peace a bit. But, just when I thought I would finally get my peace in full, a lady, a strange one at that, appeared from the entrance of the aisle, and walked really fast, approaching the altar where Raúl and I stood.

“ I'm here to speak in opposition to this union, and I request to be heard!”

Everyone seated turned around to look at this strange lady who had come to cause havoc on my wedding day!

This lady was obviously pregnant, but what did she have to say about my wedding? Who the hell did she think she was and what did she want?

Suddenly, Emma, who had been calm all the while, rushed over to her and tried to stop her from moving forward.

“What are you doing here Olivia?" Emma asked the strange lady when she would not stay put as Emma wanted.

“Let go of me right now, I want to speak!" The lady broke free from Emma's grasp and found her way over to where Raúl and I stood.

Emma ran after her and drew her back.

SLAP!

The strange lady Landed a hot, dirty slap across Emma's face that made Emma's leg stuck to the floor. She held her face in pain.

“I've warned you to stay away from me or anything that concerns me!" The strange lady warned in a yelling voice

Now facing the altar where the priest, Raúl and I stood, the strange lady spoke

“Did Raul ever tell you that I….” the lady tried to speak but Emma cut her short.

“ Shut up Olivia, and get lost!” Emma rebuked.

But this lady stood firm. I'm sure someone must have paid her to ruin my wedding, but who?

“What are you doing here Olivia? Of all days in the world, why today?” Emma asked, seeing that the strange lady would listen.

"Stay out of this Emma. It's none of your business!” Olivia challenged.

I looked at Raúl, and he looked confused. But, was I supposed to believe the look on his face? Of course not!

“Get out of here right now or I'll call the security!" Emma threatened, but Olivia didn't seem to be moved.

“What's going on here Emma? Raúl, why the hell are you mute? What's going on?" I asked, trying to maintain my composure.

“I'm pregnant for Raúl” the lady announced.

“The child in my stomach belongs to no other man than Raúl!" She said, now facing the guests.

Emma lost her temper, she walked over to Olivia, turned her face and returned the slap she had received earlier, back to Olivia.

SLAP!!
