However, I was sure I would not go through with the wedding. I couldn't forgive a cheating man, especially when the other woman was my stepsister.
[Might be a little late.] I replied.
Almost immediately, he called me.
I hesitated but eventually pressed the answer button.
"Baby, did you not sleep well last night? That's okay, we've already rehearsed enough. We can just head straight to the ceremony."
Henry's cheerful voice came through, sounding as if he had slept soundly.
Remembering the unpleasant sounds I had heard the night before, I clenched my fists, trying to keep my voice steady.
"Don't be nervous. I'll be right there with you."
When Henry said this, I could hear other people's breaths in the background.
No need to guess who it was.
I lay back down and managed to steal a few more moments of sleep. By the time I got up and took a taxi to the wedding venue, the ceremony was already in full swing.
When I finally arrived, everyone was already there.
Oliva wasn't the bride or a bridesmaid, but she was wearing a white gown and heavy makeup. My mother stood beside her, beaming as she chatted with Henry.
Seeing me arrive, she hurried over and pinched my arm hard.
