Chapter 261 - Genius 261: Wedding

The news was playing on the television, showing the details about Jared and Daniella\'s wedding.

He couldn\'t understand the news as it was spoken in the local language but he could see the clips showing Daniella waiting behind the close door of the church.

"Turn it off."

Althea immediately did what he asked. Then she at on the bed and held his hand.

"We will leave in the night. After this, you can start a new life."

Evan stiffened by her words. How could he ever start a new life when the life he always wanted had been taken away from him.

Althea gnashed her jaw discreetly after seeing the pain on Evan\'s face showing that he seemed to not have any plan to move on. She got up after taking a long breathe and forced a smile.

She needed Evan since he was a friend of Ken. She was sticking around because of that and the fact that he was really attractive.

He even looked more attractive in her eyes with that gloom and anger on his face.

"I need to fix some papers. I will be back in a few hours."

When althea left, Evan sighed and stared at his hand. She was really trying so hard to get close to him.

Not long after Althea left the door opened. Evan\'s eye widened to see five fully loaded men entering the room.

"Come with us Evan Su," one of the men spoke.

Evan got up. His heart pounded wondering if its Jared\'s doing or the previous men that hurt him in the police station.

"Where are you bringing me?" he knew it was a stupid question. Still, he asked.

Instead of answering, the men dragged him out of the room all the way to the parking lot. Surprisingly, the whole place was empty, no guards from Galla or even the doctors or nurses.

Evan knew something was about to happen, though this time he was not scared or even worried about what will happen to him.

--

The wedding was supposed to be a celebration of love, it was a day of reaffirming two hearts as one yet the bride wearing her white dress standing at the end of the aisle was frowning her beautiful face.

Daniella sighed, she griped the bouquet in her hand and looked up ahead where Jared and the priest were waiting.

When the soft wedding March music played, her feet moved forward by itself. Her mind tried to escape the reality she was in. In her mind, she was at the Su Villa garden, in her green long chiffon dress with a leaf crown on her head, looking like a fairy marching on the red carpet leading to the end of the aisle where Evan was waiting.

She looked at her right and found her mother and twin brother smiling at her with a calm expression, behind them in the next row were her friends smiling at her happily.

She bit her lips and looked at the other side where Evan\'s family were sitting and looking at her with shining eyes. There was Selena, smiling from ear to ear and next to her were Kirby and Anders.

When she looked at Evan\'s mother, an expression of guilt was across her face. Danielle flashed a genuine smile and only then did Elise smiled back.

Looking ahead, she saw Glen and Ken standing next to Evan. Looking so neat and gorgeous in their tux.

"Mommy," by that familiar tiny voice, Daniella stopped in her track and looked down. Standing next to her was her son Danny in a white tux and black bow.

She giggled and held his hand, and together they walked to the small altar where the priest and Evan were waiting.

Stopping in her track, Daniella accepted Evan\'s hand and together they stood in front of the priest.

Her eyes were looking at Evan all the time. Her brain did not understand any of the words that the priest said. All she knew was that when Evan parted his lips to say I do, her mouth opened to flash a smile.

"Daniella Chen, do you take Jared to be your lawful husband, in sickness and in health…"

Daniella blinked once, and just like that, her mind went back to reality.

She looked down to see the hand she was holding, disappointment rushed over her after seeing that it was indeed Jared and not Evan.

She gulped hard, with confusion on her face she looked at the priest.

The space between her brows wrinkled after noticing the priest face. She could have sworn that she saw that face before. So vaguely familiar, and even his voice.

She squinted her eyes while her lips remained open, struggling to either ask the priest if she had seen him before or to answer his question.

She gulped hard and slowly murmurs sounded around.

"Daniella," she heard Jared whispering her name.

She looked at him and whispered back, "something is wrong. I cannot read the priest mind."

Jared rose a brow in disbelief, "I don\'t think it\'s the right time to read people\'s mind, Daniella. Just say yes so I can remove this stupid tux."

And with that, Daniella scanned his body. Her lips parted in disbelief. He had the same tux as Evan was wearing in her mind.

When the priest cleared his throat, Daniella immediately said, "yes. I don\'t have a problem marrying him."

And her words had caused more whispering from the crowds.

Jared chuckled after hearing it. He knew that she had paced out and her mind went somewhere else but he didn\'t dare to interrupt her if it\'s not for the priest he wouldn\'t even call out her name and let her stay in her dreamland for some time.

To stop the murmurs around, Jared pulled Daniella closer by her waist. Then, his palms covered her cheeks and moved his face closer to her.

People cheered, stood to clap their hands while flashes of camera flickered from time to time.

When Jared freed Daniella\'s cheeks, she looked at him with perplexity.

\'why?\'

She asked herself.

\'Why didn\'t he kiss me?\'

When Jared leaned his face closer to her ears, he whispered, "since you didn\'t say no and embarrassed me, I have a gift for you."

She looked at him with lips parting in surprise and confusion.

"What is it?"

Jared\'s lips formed a lopsided grin, "you will see but for now Roman Lee is waiting for you in the casino. I have a knife with your name engraved on it, you can slice his throat anytime you want."

Even though she was curious about the gift Daniella could not help but to feel excited meeting Roman Lee, her heart pounded uncontrollably. Finally, she can end his life and start chasing Kierry.
