Excerpt:
Prologue
The woman was beautiful. She looked
like a supermodel ready to walk the runway. The blackest of black eyelashes
swept upward, accenting the depths of her emerald eyes. Curls of mahogany sat
on top of her head while the apple of her cheeks were highlighted with a slight
pink as if the sun had kissed her.
I should have been excited. I should
have been anxious.
But as my heartbeat thrashed in my
ears, all I felt was dread.
I sat on the stool, staring at the
girl in the mirror. I wondered who this girl was. I wondered where the old girl
had gone and how I could get her back.
The problem was I couldn’t. The lie
was so deep, the charade so long that there was nowhere else to go but to move
forward.
It was an out-of-body experience as
the chaos of the circus around me was happening. I barely noticed the woman in
front of me as she swished her little brush of pink gloss on my pouty lips.
Everybody was getting ready for the
big day.
My big day.
Four photographers were scattered
around the room, catching every moment and every detail from the shoes to the
invitation to the flowers.
Orchids.
Orchids didn’t give off a scent like
every other flower. Too much water would drown them. Not enough sunlight would
kill them. They were useless and high maintenance.
So, when the florist had asked me
what kind of flowers I would like for my bouquet, I’d said,
“Orchids.”
It was the flower I despised the
most. It wasn’t because of its lack of beauty or its uselessness, but I
didn’t want anything that I would pick for my real day.
The photographers moved to the
king-sized bed, and they snapped pictures of the regal designer wedding gown.
This was another thing I would have never picked for myself. I remembered my
last fitting. I had barely squeezed into the strapless couture dress.
I would never pick a dress that I couldn’t walk, dance or eat in. I hated it,
and that was the reason I’d picked it.
My stomach growled from starvation.
I’d had no appetite the night before, and today, Kendall, my maid of honor,
wouldn’t allow me to eat. It was so unlike her. I guessed
it was for my benefit because it took forever and a half to fit into my dress.
Either way, my stomach was eating itself because it had nothing else to feed
off of.
The time went by slowly as if it
were dragging on purpose to punish me for living the biggest lie of my
life. Most people would say their wedding day had flown by. This day
was killing me, killing me softly and slowly.
All I wanted was for it to be over,
but the day had just begun.
I took a deep breath and closed my
eyes. If I can only get through this day…this one day…
I just needed to get through today.
