Chapter 547: Was it Him?
In a Church with exquisite set-up, there were several beautiful and delicate flower children a smart and respectful priest.
Every preparation was perfect, nothing less.
But there was no guest at all, only a lineup of maids and serious-looking bodyguards.
It was a luxurious yet quiet wedding.
Benjamin held Florence's hand; she was forced to follow his footsteps on the red carpet until they arrived in front of the priest.
Without further ado, the priest rushed into the most important part.
“Mr. Benjamin Turner, will you take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death part you?”
Benjamin smiled brightly and said, “I do.”
The priest nodded and turned to Florence.
“Ms. Florence Fraser, will you take this man as your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death part you?”
Florence bit her lips and stayed silent with a stiffened face.
The smile on Benjamin’s face lessened.
The priest noticed something odd and repeated.
“Ms. Florence Fraser, will you take this man as your lawfully wedded husband?”
Florence remained silent emotionlessly.
Benjamin frowned in displeasure, he approached Florence and threatened.
“Say you do.”
Florence mocked, “Everyone here is your man, this is nothing but a show, why should I pretend and say I do? I’m lazy to entertain you, you are despicable.”
Her words were like a slapped on Benjamin’s face.
The priest turned a little nervous and looked at Benjamin in puzzlement.
Although he was paid to be here to complete the ceremony regardless, but he didn’t want to break the local tradition and religious rules, and “I do” from both the groom and bride were necessary.
He looked at Benjamin in confusion and said, “Mr. Benjamin, please talk her into it.”
Benjamin was annoyed; Florence had never once listened to him.
Even now she was still held captive by him.
He grabbed her wrist rudely and threatened.
“Florence, don’t go against me, if not I will torture you.”
Florence felt like her wrist was about to be broken by him, her face turned white.
She then said unwillingly, “Alright.”
Benjamin’s smile widened again, “Good girl.” And he let go of her hand.
Florence immediately withdrew her hand and rubbed her painful wrist.
The priest dared not say a word but asked again, “Ms. Florence Fraser, will you take this man as your lawfully wedded husband?” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I…”
Florence looked at Benjamin repulsively; she gritted her teeth and said, “No, I don’t!”
The smile on Benjamin’s face disappeared instantly.
This darn woman!
He raised his hand and choked Florence on her neck angrily.
“Do you think there’s nothing I can do to you if you behave this way?” He said savagely.
Florence was choked but showed no sign of giving up.
“I’d rather die than say I do!”
She would rather die than marry Benjamin Turner.
The infuriated Benjamin tightened his grip and wanted to choke Florence to death.
Florence felt like she could die.
Her entire face turned red but still looked at Benjamin stubbornly.
A shiver travelled down the priest’s spine witnessing this, he was here as a marriage officiant, not to witness a murder.
This couple wanted to get married for sure? They looked more like enemies than lovers!
Benjamin choked was hard, Florence’s face turned redder and harder to breathe.
Her vision started to blur out too.
She felt depressed and relieved at the same time, if Benjamin killed her, she wouldn’t need to marry him anymore.
With that, Ernest still had a chance to win.
“Do you really think I will let you die?”
Benjamin spoke like a devil from hell.
He released her and turned to the priest furiously.
He then ordered, “She said yes, continue!”
“What?”
The priest stood frozen in bewilderment!
The bride didn’t say yes!
It didn’t count if it was from the groom.
“Sir, according to the law of our country…” This…
The priest swallowed his remaining speech and looked terrifyingly at the gun that pointed at his chest.
“Sir… you…”
His voice trembled and his face turned white.
Benjamin ordered again.
“Go on or die?”
“I… I'll … Go on.”
The priest agreed to carry on in extreme terror and fetched over the ring with his trembling hand.
“Now… You may exchange… Rings.”
The marriage was official once they put on the rings.
The priest would then registered their marriage and they would be a lawfully wedded couple.
Benjamin’s face softened, he put on his gentleman smile again.
He took the female ring and grabbed Florence’s hand.
“Flory, we will be lawfully wedded husband and wife once we put the rings on.”
Florence was still gasping for air when Benjamin grabbed her hand.
Her heart stopped beating.
“No, let go of me!”
She struggled nervously trying to swing loose from Benjamin.
But Benjamin was a man, she couldn’t loosened the grab no matter what.
She could only watch as Benjamin approached her with the ring, and put it on in her ring finger.
The icy cold ring was like a handcuff that cuffed her freedom.
She turned into a married woman once the ring was on entirely and would be Benjamin’s wife.
There would be no chance for Ernest anymore once the ring was on.
Florence turned white, she kept on struggling but to no avail.
Florence watched as Benjamin pushed the ring into her ring finger.
No. It was done, everything was done.
She now belonged to Benjamin.
Florence’s was helpless, hopeless and her brain was empty.
“Bang…”
The church was kicked open from outside before the ring was pushed in entirely.
That kick was powerful enough to knock down the two grand door of the church.
The pedals on the carpets flew into the air as the doors collapsed.
Florence stunned and turned to the door abruptly, her eyes were widened.
Her mouth was wide opened, she couldn’t believe what she saw, she thought she was delusional.
Him, was it him?
How did he find this place?
He couldn’t believe and tears gushed down instantly and she uttered the name she thought of every second.
“Ernest…”
