The guest gasped in surprise and could only watch in confusion as the famous fashion designer of the Taylor family descend the hall with an unknown man

Many were stunned by the sudden turn of event
And most of all her looks
Was she really the Young Miss Taylor?
The ugly duckling they once know?
Right now, even with her mascara being ruin and the lipstick on her cheeks
She was truly a beauty
Moreover the man she was with, arises a lot of questions from the crowds
Roen Caliste stood there with a narrowed eyes, completely at loss at the sudden change of event. However,he had a weird feeling that things would end up so well for him and he needed to stop her real quick
"What the hell 're you up to, Amery? " He asked her when she reached the aisle
His eyes travelled to the man who had a nonchalant smirk on his lips
Roen Caliste who was known as the most handsome man in country suddenly lost his face, his handsome self have been one of the reasons Amery Taylor fell for him at first sight. Unbeknownst to him there was someone around, the man Infront of him was non other than a Handsome Devil
When his gaze landed on their hands together,he felt his chest tightened seeing such a handsome man with his fiancee made him boil with anger
Instead of her answering his blabbering, she pushed passed him
Which only left him in a complicated state
Since when did she became hostile like this?
Just when he was still pulling himself together
Her next words snapped him from his daze
"I'm sorry for keeping everyone waiting and wasting your time. I have decided to change my groom at the last minute. Please start the vows"
At her words, the hall fell into a deep silence, gasp erupted from each individuals staring at the scene with shock written in all of their faces. Everyone present struggled to take in the shocking news that had just been delivered to them like a bomb.
The silence lasted lasted for more than a minute before it's bursted into a commotion
"What!
"Is this a joke?
"Has she finally lost her senses?
"How unbelievable, disgraceful. She must have been cheating on Roen Caliste and now decided to show it off publicly..."
"How shameful"
" This's such a huge disgrace to her image .."
"She has completely gone nuts "
"This can't possibly be a joke, I mean look at her dressing, she looks as if she just fought a war getting here"
"Or probably, she got kidnapped "
"Seriously, this's a huge mess"
Reporters present in the hall, smirk as they saw another perfect headlines to publish they had the biggest news of all time, different from other regular events
A wedding disaster; Last Minute Groom change
Amery Taylor could hear the whisper around but she didn't concerntrate on that. She was aware that everyone was in shock and they were 'nt expecting a new groom step in
She intentionally did not glance at the shocking face of her father, Michelle or Selena
On the other hand, Roen grabbed Amery by the wrist and pulled her roughly to question her declaration, he stared at her with eyes that were struggling to conceal the rage built in his chest. "What do you think you're doing? Have you lost your senses? ...
Before he could complete his statement
Amery raised her right hand and landed a thunderious and resounding slap across his face
"Paaah!"
(Leaving the replacement groom and Roen in a complete shock )
The sound echoed in the hall eliciting a hushed silence from the dazed crowd
Non among them have ever expect the young quiet Miss of the Taylor family to become this wirld
They were all in complete daze but her next words only left them in disbelief .
"Do you really think I don't know your plans to have me killed today after the wedding you cruel son of a..." She snapped fiercely
Gratefully The whole wedding was on live broadcast
The replacement groom stood besides her with a smile gradually foaming on his lips but a frown replaced it when he saw the red spot on her hands from being too held by Roen and his dark grey eyes narrowed at him
Roen Caliste eyes and mouth widened, with his other palm holding his face
He was stunned
Was this some kind of drama?
He couldn't still believe it
Amery slapped him?
It had never happened once not even in his wildest dreams would he think his timid fiancee could lay a hand on him, talk more of slapping him on his face
His hands were still on his reddened cheeks, and his lips parted in disbelief "How could you say such a thing... ,I would never do any harm to you Amery.... I love you" his tone feirging hurt
Amery Taylor rolled her eyes" love? " She scoffed in disdain" Do you even know the meaning of that word? You never did! So shut your air hole,I am sick of your drama...."
And at that moment Roen Caliste was left speechless,he couldn't still believe the sight beholding him. He didn't get the chance to sulk in his own self pity because Amery next word almost got him in a coma
"Priest, please start the wedding ceremony...." She said hastily ignoring his presence
"I inject ...." Louis Taylor voice rang out from his seat his eyes burning with anger as he couldn't sit back as his daughter ruin his image... Not just that but a business collaboration
"What's nonsense is this? Amery, ... "
Michelle who was once dazed from the drama all this while, stood up in support of her husband" Have you lost your mind? You dare disgrace us Infront of this crowd? Do you know what you 'll lost getting married to another man? This is a big opportunity for us and you are ruining that?!!! Have you really become this shameless, sleeping with another man? !!! "
Amery frown deepened,
What a joke
This woman was still shameless enough to rain insult and act like the pretender she always was
In the eye of many,they'd assumed her for a loving mother, however she wasn't close
The anger inside of her finally ignited. Amery chest rose and fell slightly as she countered
"Ooh, you want nothing but the benefits, you don't care if this man is a murderer...I almost forgot you won't even care if I die " Amery tone turn icy " its just too pathetic... quit acting when you still can...." Her sharp voice retorted
Turning to the crowds. "I'm not getting married to Roen Caliste.... This's my new groom "
Just after she finished her sentence
Louis Taylor angered voice snapped back at her "If you don't married to Roen then consider this wedding called off!! You are not getting married to some stranger!!"
His words made her teeth clenched tightly
The man besides her maintained his relaxed posture but his handsome face momentarily darkened with a frown. He had no business in their family affairs,all he wanted was the bride, nothing else mattered to him
A slight smirk formed on Roen lips as his heart finally filled with hope. He won't allow anyone to come in his way. He couldn't stand loosing his chances for an unknown stranger. Sulking up to Louis Taylor side,he held his hands as he pleaded" please father,talk some sense to Amery... I have loved her for five years and you know that I wouldn't be alive if I lost her like this... I have cared for her till today... I don't know what lies this stranger here have cook up for her but please she's my only light... I can't lost her... please....."
With his sudden change of tone and his pain filled statement. The crowds felt sympathy for him
They saw Amery in a worst shade. Claiming that she didn't deserve his love, she clearly cheated on him.... They rebuked her at that instant
Amery gritted her teeth,
This moron
Love for five years?
She could only feel disgusted watching his performance
Damn
He was acting like the victim here
A sigh left her lips as she grip the hem of her gown with anger
Her mouth slowly opened but before she could say anything
The man besides her beat her to it
"What if there's prove that this man is unworthy of your daughter " He flicked his long fingers against his sleeve, his cold dark eyes rested on Louis and the pretender Roen Caliste
Though his words were brief but he excluded an outstanding aura that made the air freeze
Leaving the hall in silence that one could hear when a pin drop
Amery quickly snap her head at him with a questioning gaze " how?"
Her brows knitting together
But the man only gave her a side look before turning back to Louis Taylor " He 's a great harm to your daughter ,a deceiver...." He paused his gaze narrowed at the pretender Roen Caliste before he continued " With just a call, I'll prove it..."
Hearing his statement, Roen had a bad feeling about this prove...
How could a stranger suddenly dig into his private life with a prove...
There was no way... He was too careful
"I'll take that as a yes..." The replacement groom said after a short silence from Louis who was at loss of a response
A confused expression lingered on Amery 's face
She had no idea what this man was up to
She could only watch as he made a call
Unknowingly to Roen standing there,He had encountered this stranger accidentally last night when he had tuk Selena outting . They had plans to spend the night at a hotel room which was Selena idea, she had selected the most popular well-known hotel service
' Obsidian Empire '
Arriving there, The hotel management had inform them that they weren't having any lounge tonight since they was a special guest
Especially the VVIP room which was the main reason they came
There was only the regular lounge room left
Roen had caused a tantrum, not aware of whoever this important guest was neither did he care.
Finally when things got settled. His salary wasn't even enough to pay for a room
At the very end . They had ended up booking the regular lounge
...
In no time. Some men in suite entered the hall.
The man instructed the man controlling the projector that was supposed to show clips of Amery and Roen picture together. They inserted a flashdrive and soon,a video popped up on the screen
The moment the video began, the crowds eyes wielded in shock but their gaze remained fix on the video. They couldn't believe their eyes, they were each utterly in disbelief with the clip playing
"Selena, baby, you are so good"
Roen own voice startled him.
His face was drained off colours,he stood there motionless as if a bucket of ice cold water was poured directly into his face
