The Fill-in Bride

Chapter One  "Absolutely horrendous!"That bad? Who was I kidding anyways everything Susie doesn't select or do herself was horrendous. But no kidding the dress was kind of archaic."Quit battling with your mind and bloody speak up. You and I know that you know that the dress is bad!" My best friend yelled again.Welcome to my world friends. Do you need a little introduction I'd be more than willing to indulge you.This is Susie, my sorry ass excuse of a bestie whom unfortunately I so much love despite her... er... well I reserve my comment on that I shall tell you another day. You'll get to know her well soon enough in like five minutes.I'm supposed to introduce myself right, nah I'll pass. Just know I'm a boring ass person that believes in a happily ever after and upholding age long ancestral traditions even though said traditions required me to wear a ten year old wedding dress handed down from generation to generation

Chapter Three "Wake up, Hailey!"I groaned angrily rubbing my sleepy eyes as I stared bleary-eyed at the smug face of my best friend?What kind of best friend wakes you up in the middle of the night or before morning?Right, Susie.Rolling my eyes I stared at her. "What?!""Shush!" She placed a finger on my lips, I attempted to bite it off. She was quick to withdraw her hand, giving me a a questioning look.I shrugged. "A girl's got to do what she can to survive."Susie shot me a glare before giving me a sweet smile. "Granny is asleep."I rubbed my eyes again yawning, "I know but why's that relevant?"Susie grinned from ear to ear, "It's time to go."I stared at her still looking confused. "What are you talking about right now?"Susie face palmed. "It's ten days to your wedding and we made a to-do list remember."Suddenly alarm bells went off in my head. I remembered a to-do list

Chapter Five I believe we all need to calm down, I wanted to say but bit back my tongue as I met Duncan's eyes. He was scowling at me.For the love of God, I just want to spend some time with my husband before kids. Is there anything wrong with that?I turned away from him and focused my attention on the two main characters in the room-- Susie and Father Ryland.I feared one of his veins might pop if he kept on turning more red with anger.I glared at Susie but the darn girl barely acknowledged me. Ugh! Typical Susie."Susie, you need to apologize to this honorable council for that foul language you use here," Father Ryland stressed the word "foul" like it was a curse on his tongue.Susie made a face, her phone directly in front of Father's face. "Guys, it's not a crime to use the word 'shit' in the church, it's just an exclamation word." She was doing a live video and was sharing personal information with the public! Th

Chapter Seven ? Red cups and sweaty bodies everywhere ?I looked around and saw they all had red cups in their hands and they were all sweaty.?Hands in the air like we don't care ?They didn't care else they won't be here in this noisy place. The music was noisy.? 'Cause we came to have so much fun now ?Fun? They were having fun by smoking and grinding bodies together?"For once admire the scenery and stop over analyzing everything," the voice of the devil-- Susie echoed in my ears.I glared at her. This is what she called the scenery? This poorly lit place flashing with multiple color lights that were harmful to the eyes, loud music that could blow your eardrums, tons of sweaty bodies grinding together, alcohol is abundant, hormonal teenagers making out, outrageous games-- the list was endless. So this ain't a scenery.I felt a tug and saw a random guy was holding my wrist. Dude, let go"Yo

Chapter Nine Did I slap a handsome guy kneeling in front of me asking for my hand in marriage? No, he said fill-in bride, not the main bride besides I am getting married. Who the fuck does he think he is.I heard a clap and whirled around just in time to see a man with an imposing aura step into the house. He was clapping and laughing.He was tall with black hair, not a single trace of grey hair. His eyes were steel-blue eyes just like Jared's own. He was pretty muscular, must have been a hottie during his days in his youthful age.Closely following behind him was a woman, blonde woman. She was beautiful in the artificially loud way and had a bitchy aura. I could tell that she was one of those cheerleaders that oppressed nerds and as if to confirm my claim she rolled her eyes when she saw the scene before her.A hot guy kneeling and clutching his cheeks and me looking flustered-- oh add Duncan that just stepped out of what I presume t
