Bound To Him - Chapter 149

In the past month leading up to her big day, Sara had been coordinating with her nutritionist and personal trainer to make sure that she looks her best. The day before, she went to get several spa treatments to make her skin look more radiant.

And today, she had a whole team of bridal service people to help her get ready. It was easy for them to apply her make-up since her skin was very fair and clear.

They left her hair loose but styled with big curls to give it the wavy look. The only hair accessory she had was a small hairband that was fashioned with flowers and leaves. Pink oval diamonds for the flowers, and green marquise diamonds for the leaves.

Her dress was a custom made gown that had a sweetheart neckline with a very deep V and a ballgown skirt that made her look like a fairy tale princess. It had 50,000 different sizes of Swarovski diamonds embroidered into the dress, making it shine and sparkle every which way she moved.

Sara had chosen Emily as her maid of honor because Ava and Nina were already married.

Ava, Emily, and Kelly were all in the room, helping Sara get ready, gossiping, and sharing stories to help her relax. Ava had been with her sister for a few hours when she got a message on her phone, so she excused herself to take care of her message.

Tristan was waiting outside, looking as handsome as ever, in his grey suit.

He was delighted as he saw Ava coming towards him. She was wearing a bottle green dress that hugged all her curves in the right places. She had matched it with black high stiletto heels, and a diamond necklace and earrings that matched her wedding ring.

She got ready with Sara, and he did not know what dress she was wearing when they came to the venue separately this morning, and he was giving her one of his smoldering gazes as she walked toward him.

“Tristan…,” Ava said, coquettishly as she placed her hand on his chest.

“Little one, you are so beautiful,” Tristan said with desire in his voice.

“Thank you, you look very dashing as well, my dear husband,” Ava blushed.

“I wanted to be the one to see you first,” Tristan said, playing with her hair.

“Uhm hmm…,” Ava pouted. Tristan let out a laugh and leaned in to kiss her lips, but Ava stopped him and said, “My makeup will be ruined, let’s do this later,”

“I don’t care, you can just re-apply it again,” Tristan didn’t give her a chance to get away this time as he kissed her passionately.

Every time they kissed, he lost control, he was running his hands all over her body when he stopped kissing her. “Go get ready, I will be waiting for you,” he said as he gave her forehead one last kiss. He couldn’t seem to get enough of his wife.

Ava nodded and happily went back to see if her sister needed her.

“So..where were you?” Sara asked, noticing that Ava had been missing for a while.

Kelly answered for her, seeing that her lipstick was smudged and her dress a little crumpled. “She probably went to see Tristan,” Kelly teased.

“No, I did not,” Ava denied immediately.

“But your makeup says otherwise, it looks like Tristan could not wait,” Kelly added. Ava blushed and did not say anything else since she was caught red-handed.

“Ava, it’s my wedding, can you concentrate on me for once, Tristan can wait,” Sara said, seeing her sister’s state.

“But Tristan texted that he missed me,” Ava complained and Sara rolled her eyes, “You guys have only been separated for four hours, and he misses you already? You guys are hopeless.”

She was wondering if Blake missed her too because she definitely missed him. It looks like love makes one illogical. She understood why her naïve sister wanted to be with Tristan all the time because after that night they had in the Maldives, Sara started to crave Blake’s presence all the time as well. It did not matter what they were doing or not doing, as long as she could see him, it was enough for her.

She never thought she would be so clingy when she fell in love, she craved intimacy with him all the time now. She always thought she was an independent career woman, but here she is, just like another love-sick girl.

For accessories, Sara donned on diamond earrings and a diamond necklace that Emily helped her with.

Emily was wearing a peach color dress with diamonds embedded in it. The dress looked like it was a rare customized dress that was probably designed and made by an overseas designer because it did not look like something you could find anywhere in the country, come to think of it the way Emily carried herself made her look like she belonged to a royal family.

Nobody knew of her background since she did not really have too many friends and the information she shared with Sara was limited because she was not too comfortable talking about herself.

Mrs. Wesley became emotional when she saw Sara all made up. In the blink of an eye, both her daughters have grown and are now ready to start their own family. She was very happy that her daughter found a very wonderful man to get married to.

On the groom’s side, Blake has his own team to help him get ready.

Dimitri was already done with primping himself and was just lazily sitting on the sofa. Aiden, on the other hand, was sitting in front of the mirror making the hairdresser change his hairstyle so many times, he was starting to annoy Blake.

“Aiden, you do remember that this is my wedding, you don’t need to get worked up so much,” Blake shook his head as he rolled his eyes.

“That’s more reason I should be looking good. All of you have someone already, and I am the only single guy in our group, I need to attract a beautiful woman,” Aiden said.

“What are you talking about? Dmitri’s still single,” Blake stated.

“Well he has his eye on someone, so it’s only a matter of time,” Aiden teased. Dmitri glared at him, which made him smirk.

“Who is she?” Blake asked at the same time the door opened, and Tristan stepped in.

“Where were you?” Blake frowned.

“Oh, I went to check on the arrangements outside,” Tristan lied.

“More like checking on Ava,” Aiden laughed. Blake raised his eyebrow.

“Look at the lipstick smudged around your lips,” Dimitri said.

Blake rolled his eyes, it seemed like his friend can’t stop romancing his wife.

“You guys, it’s my wedding, so stop slacking off, come help me with these,” Blake said as he showed them several boxes of cufflinks.

Aiden and Dimitri helped him select a pair, which he said matched Sara’s accessories. That was the last detail he needed. He was very eager to meet his bride, but he was nervous as well.

Dimitri and Aiden were chosen as his best man since Tristan was already married.

“Wow! I never knew my baby brother could ever look this handsome,” Nina tried to pinch his cheeks but Blake evaded her. “Let’s go, it’s time!�� Nina chuckled as she guided him to the hall.

As they got ready to walk down the aisle, Mr. Wesley could not help but tear up. He could still remember the day he held her for the first time when she was a baby. He didn’t think he could ever get over the fact that now he was handing her over to somebody else. His little girl was leaving him.

Sara put her hand around his arm and took a deep breath as she started walking down the aisle. Just like Blake, she was excited and nervous at the same time.

Blake was awestruck as Sara entered the room. He felt like he had never seen a more beautiful sight in his life. He has seen her every version of Sara, and this one tops it all. She looked very ethereal walking down the aisle with her long silky hair coming down in waves, she had love in her eyes, and that gorgeous smile that he knew would always be for him.

The minute she walked into the room her surroundings blurred, and all she could see was Blake, standing at the podium, waiting for her with his neatly styled hair, he looked like a Greek God that had love in his eyes, only for her.

Mr. Wesley gave Sara’s hand to Blake and said, “Take care of my daughter. She looks strong but she is very fragile inside. Please never do anything to hurt her,”

“Sara is my responsibility from now on, and I will cherish her always,” Blake promised. There was so much intensity in Blake’s eyes that Sara blushed.

He kissed her fingers and smiled at her as they stood on the podium together.

When it was time for them to say their vows, Sara went first, “I met you by accident, and I never imagined myself to fall in love with you.

You were a blessing in disguise, and the more I knew you, the more I learned that you are a very wonderful man. I cannot imagine any second when I don’t love you. Blake, I promise to love you forever.”

Blake’s face softened, each word she uttered had directly touched his heart.

“I fell in love with you the first moment I saw you, but I was so stubborn that I told my heart it was not true. So I stand here today in front of you to let you know that I love you so much that it consumes every fiber in my body, I will move heaven and earth to fulfill all your wishes. I promise to love, protect and remain loyal to you forever my baby,” Blake declared.

Sara tried to control her tears, knowing that Blake had uttered the words that came from his heart.

When the officiant declared them man and wife. Blake did not waste the time to kiss Sara passionately in front of all their friends and family.

He was thinking that the kiss they shared tasted sweeter now that they are married. While Sara thought she would always remember their first kiss as a married couple.

Mr. and Mrs. Anderson beamed, they were happy that their son had finally settled down with a very wonderful woman like Sara.

Mrs. Anderson even shed a few tears, and her husband placed his hand around her shoulder to console her.

Dimitri could not help but stare at Emily, she lowered her head, she could feel his steely gaze on her the whole time. All this staring unnerved her because for the past few weeks since they met at the club, she couldn’t stop thinking about him.

She tried to sneak a glance and when their eyes met, her heartbeat started increasing.

Aiden had a teasing smile on his face when he saw the interaction between Emily and Dimitri. He elbowed Dimitri to let him know that he saw her look over. Dimitri ignored him as he continued to stare at Emily.

When it was time to dance Nina, her husband Ian, Jack, and Kelly took their places on the dance floor.

While Ava and Tristan were just lost in each other’s arms. Ava kissed Tristan on the lips which prompted him to kiss her passionately in front of everybody.

“You are so beautiful tonight Mrs. Anderson,” Blake said sexily as he danced with his wife.

“You look very dashing my dear husband,” Sara said with the same intensity. Blake’s heart fluttered when she called him “husband” so he kissed her deeply.

“Do you remember our first kiss?” Sara asked.

“How could I forget such a wonderful moment, until you slapped me,” he teased.

“I never thought the guy I slapped that night would be my husband,” she giggled.

“What can I say, you could not resist my charms,” he boasted.

“I think it’s the other way around, you could not resist my charms, otherwise why would you kiss a woman you met for the first time?” she said.

“True, I guess we both could not resist each other’s charms,” Blake leaned his forehead on hers.

“I love you, Blake,” she said sweetly, she can’t stop telling him she loved him.

“I love you so much baby,” he said as he trailed kisses from her forehead to her lips. The sweet journey of Blake Anderson and Sara Wesley had finally reached the next step.

Emily was at the sidelines rejecting everyone who wanted to dance with her. Subconsciously she did not realize that she was waiting for a specific somebody.

He had been watching her for a while, and he finally mustered the courage to ask her to dance.

“Dance,” Dimitri said, commanding, not even asking. Emily nodded her head and blushed like a schoolgirl.

He was looking at her too closely, which made her nervous that if she wasn’t paying attention, she would have tripped or stepped on his feet.

They were dancing close together when Dmitri leaned toward her, she closed her eyes thinking that he was about to kiss her, but when nothing happened she opened her eyes.

Dimitri’s face was tense, and he stopped dancing, “Sorry,” he said as he walked away from her leaving her on the dance floor.

It took a few seconds for her to get out of her shock. She was confused, so she followed him. She found him smoking in the garden.

“What happened there? Why did you walk out on me?” Emily asked.

“You are not “her”,” Dimitri said.

“What are you talking about?” Emily frowned.

Dimitri turned toward her and said, “I mistook you for some else.”

“What do you mean? That I look like a replacement for the woman you love?” Emily’s voice was shaking, and Dimitri nodded his head.

Emily’s legs started to shake, she thought that he was genuinely interested in her. He was only staring at her because he looked like his woman. It felt like someone had splashed a bucket of ice water on her. For the first time, she was having feelings for someone, it turns out like this.

“You are very evil,” Emily threw at him as tears fell from her face and she ran away from him.

He didn’t bother to apologize, just letting her go.

Dimitri stared at the dark sky and closed his eyes. Her face came into view, and unknowingly his face softened. He doesn’t know anything about her, not even her name, but she was always in his mind. He had met her five years back, and when he met Emily for the first time, he was shocked and thought it was her.

Emily resembled her very much that he thought being with her could make him forget, but tonight he learned that it was not possible. He knows that Emily can never be her, in fact, no one can take her place. She alone can fill the void in his heart.

Dimitri just wanted to see her again, and he doesn’t know if that day will ever come.
