Dora’s laughter would have rose higher over the church building itself, but Genevieve placed a palm on her lap, warningly.

Dora faced her.

“Silence.” Genevieve muttered without even looking at her.

Her whole attention is in the front where Seraphina is panicking at.

Dora stopped her laughter, but Kimmy wasn’t satisfied.

“Mum?” Kimmy frowned.

She and Dora are seated beside Genevieve and Marley.

“Mum,” Kimmy repeated. “but The Frump deserves our mockery and—

“You heard your mother, quiet!” Marley snapped lowly.

Kimmy rolled eyes, relaxing after exchanging glance with Dora..

“Does this mean Dean won’t be eating p+ssy tonight? His bride is on her fuckin period…” Saint grinned.

He’s wearing his white suit now. The black singlet did nothing to cover his chest properly, so his huge chest bulged attractively as he talked.

“Shut up, Saint. This is a Church. Keep your dirty tongue in your mouth.” Uncle Will chastised.

“I’m just worried about my brother, Uncle W,” Saint grinned again. “But the period shouldn’t be a barrier now that I think about it. He only has to pour some wine on the p+ssy and eat wine with the blood, what a meal.”

“Saint, one more disgusting word, and you’ll have to go to seminary school too.” Uncle Will said.

He didn’t have to say more.

Allison is still on her feet, worried.

And at the alter, Seraphina is still looking caught off-guard.

She had her period early this month, how come her period is here again?

She has never had irregularities.

What’s going on?

Why today?

The sky needs to open right now and just suck her to glory.

Dean looks confused, too.

But in the midst of it all, Tobias finally looked at Seraphina.

Since she entered with Dean, he hasn’t spared her a glance.

Now, he did, and he didn’t look like he even saw anyone.

She’s barely a breeze.

He looked away immediately.

Dean’s arm slowly wrapped on Seraphina’s waist, surprising her.

She faced him.

“Babe, I’m so sor—”

“My bride can be clumsy and forgetful at times,” Dean cut her off, facing the guests with a sweet smile. “She must have been too caught up with the preparations that it skipped her mind, but don’t worry, babe,”

He faced Seraphina who now looks less panicky.

“After we take the vows and rings, we can go take care of your period together. I’ll fix the pad on you by myself.” He winked.

And that earned a loud clapping and cheering from the guests. Some chuckled happily, glad that he handled it well. Ladies began wishing they’re in Seraphina’s position.

She got herself an intentional man.

“Gawd, I love you.” Seraphina said, her smile so magnetic.

“I love you too, Babe.” Dean stroked her back as they faced the Priest.

Tobias lifted the worn vow  book from the tray on Jude’s palm.

The gold-edged pages caught the candlelight as silence swallowed the church whole. Incense and dying roses lingered in the air.

Tobias looked between them before proceeding according to the book.

“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of God and these witnesses to bind this man and this woman in holy matrimony.”

His gaze settled on Dean first.

“Marriage is not merely a promise spoken, but a covenant endured through devotion, suffering, abundance, and ruin. If any person knows of any lawful reason these two should not be joined together, speak now or forever hold your peace.”

Silence.

Tobias turned the page. “Dean, repeat after me.”

Dean’s eyes never left Seraphina.

“I, Dean, take you, Seraphina, to be my wife. To have and to hold from this day forward. For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. To love you, honor you, protect you, and remain beside you until death parts us.”

Dean’s voice dropped at the last words. “Until death parts us.”

Tobias turned to Seraphina. He gave her that brief look again before talking her part.

“And now, Seraphina.”

Seraphina swallowed, fingers tightening around the bouquet before meeting his stare.

“I, Seraphina, take you, Dean, to be my husband. To have and to hold from this day forward. For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. To love you, honor you, cherish you, and remain beside you until death parts us.”

Her voice shook slightly before she echoed the last part… “Until death parts us.”

Tobias closed the vow book with calculated ease.

“May we have the rings?” He faced the brothers. Jude passed him the multi-million rings.

“With this ring,” Dean said quietly, sliding it onto Seraphina’s finger, “I give you my promise.”

“With this ring,” Seraphina whispered, placing hers on him too, “I give you my heart.”

Tobias raised his hands, blue eyes scanning the church briefly before settling on the couple.

At the Nuns row, Nun Estelle stared at Tobias without blinking. She couldn’t stop herself. How would she be able to stop when she already dreamt of kissing his lips last night?

And his husky voice? Damn.

“By the authority vested in me by the Church, I now pronounce you husband and wife.” Tobias announced finally, his voice huskiness so deep in the church speakers. “You may kiss your bride.”

Dean didn’t wait before lunging for Seraphina. Seraphina was overly ready too, and their lips crashed.

“That’s how you do it, girl!” Allison screamed, overjoyed. “That’s my girl!”

The guests cheered excitedly—except Seraphina’s family. The mean sisters look acidic, and the parents don’t look like they’re witnessing their second daughter’s  wedding at all.

“Bang your bride through her menstruation, bro! Blood s+x can be memorable.” Saint laughed.

But when he saw Tobias leaving the altar already, he quickly went after him, taking the backdoor.

The new couple broke the kiss with heavy breaths, and Dean scooped her into a tight, lifting hug, swirling her body around the altar.

“Dean!” She giggled, dropping her flower bouquet.

“Forever mine.” Dean declared.

“Forever yours.” Seraphina added.

When he dropped her, Allison was already with them.

And Uncle Will.

“Congratulations, bestie!” Allison hugged her fondly.

“Thanks for standing by me. I love you, Lis!” Seraphina pouted.

“That word should be said to your husband alone from now on,” Allison frowned jokingly.

“But I still love you,” Seraphina poked her cheek.

Allison chuckled, hugging her again.

Her family didn’t come close to congratulate her.

They left immediately the rings were exchanged.

Only Dean’s associates are left in the church right now.

“The after-party starts by 6PM, right?” Uncle Will asked Dean.

“Yeah, 6PM,” Dean nodded.

“Then why was the wedding scheduled for as early as this? This is just 11AM.” Will frowned.

“Cos I still have to go to work today, Uncle. We’re signing the contract today.” Dean frowned back.

“Go to work on your wedding day? Dean!” Will glared. “The contract signing can wait till tomorrow!”

“Need to go see Tobias,” Dean changed topic and left the Church.

Uncle Will looked on suspiciously.

Something ain’t right.

[Church Park]

“Why were we stopped from mocking that slut in the Church!” Dora demanded as their cars were pulled out of the park by their drivers.

“I demand an explanation too! Isn’t she our plaything?” Kimmy barked.

Genevieve looked back at the two of them, glaringly.

“You can’t give Dean that impression! If Dean cancels the investment, you know damn well that we’re losing the giant hotel contract, and that can’t happen! Dora mightn’t understand, but as the CFO, you should know better Kimmy!” She snarled.

Kimmy relaxed, knowing Genevieve said nothing but plain truth, but Dora was still fuming.

“And Dean’s speech about her period stain? I can’t believe it. Does he love her? That thing deserves no love. Damn, I can’t believe the blood injection we thrusted into her car seat was useless.” Dora said.

“You did it?” Marley faced her.

“Yeah,” Dora shrugged.

“How could you do that without informing me first!!?” Marley snarled.

“What?” Dora’s shoulders sank.

“You should have waited till the end of the contract signing! How do you think Dean would react if he found out his wife’s wedding  dress was sabotaged!” Marley roared.

“What? So everyone’s scared of Dean in this family now?” Dora scoffed. “Don’t tell me shit about how Dean would feel one more time cos I’mma explode on your faces!”

“Dora!” Kimmy cautioned.

“What!!!!” Dora yelled, nose scrunching.

“You only just got discharged from rehab last month. Don’t make me throw you back in there.” Marley said warningly and got in his car.

He drove off first.

“Rehab? F+ck yeah!” Dora punched her car bonnet. “Throw me back in rehab and watch how I kill everyone in there and ruin this family name!” She laughed crazily.

“Get your shit together and go to work, Dora.” Genevieve said.

Her driver opened her car door, and she flaunted her hair, getting in.

“Where you heading to?” Kimmy asked immediately.

“Baby, i’m the highest paid actress in this country. Of course I have to be on set at the most unusual times. I have five scenes to shoot today, see y’all later at home.” She said.

As her car drove out, Kimmy faced Dora. “You know damn well mum and dad are just being cautious, but your hothead it too strong to heed.”

How-To, DIY & Expert Content

“Why are they against us mocking that Frump today?” Dora rolled eyes.

“They’re not against it, sis!” Kimmy stumped desperately. “Just few more hours till we sign the contract. After we sign the contract, you can even kill Seraphina if you f+ckin want!”

“I like the idea of kill,” Dora nodded.

“I can’t stand you going back to rehab, so you better get your head cleared. Go make your sales, CEO of Kiss!” Kimmy hyped.

That brought a smile to Dora’s face. Kiss is her fashion brand name. She’s even wearing the new squeeze gown of her brand right now.

Latest in town.

“I’ll see you at home later. Without the Frump at home, we’ll breath fresh air.” Kimmy said.

“That part,” Dora laughed as they both hopped in their cars.

[Church Rectory]

The rectory is larger than most. A big, white-painted large building at the back of the Church. It’s still inside the Church compound though.

Jude brought Tobias to check it out after the  wedding program, and now they’re in front of it, staring.

Tobias is unreadable, so it’s hard to know by the look in his eyes if he likes the house or not.

But in Tobias mind, he definitely doesn’t like it. The white color is already a fail. Who still paints buildings in white these days?

Well, well, it’s the Church.

They probably think white represents holiness cos every single building in the Church compound is white, including the Church itself.

At the right side of his rectory, there’s the Brothers Quarters.

At the left side of the rectory, there’s the Sisters Quarters, too.

Then, the Nuns Convent at the back.

They obviously built the houses around his Rectory cos they believe the Priest should have a clear view of what’s going on within the Church.

“Father, do you like it?” Jude asked after a long silence of Tobias just staring. “If you don’t like it, then—”

“Get the roses surrounding the rectory uprooted.” Tobias interrupted sharply, facing him.

“Oh…” Jude looked at the red roses. “I’ll get that done, and I’ll take note of your dislike for roses from now—”

“Toby!” Saint’s voice found them.

Jude turned, but Tobias remained unmoved.

“Toby!” Saint recalled, his figure falling with them.

“It’s Father Tobias,” Jude corrected.

“Get the f+ck outta my face!” Saint pushed him off. Jude staggered “He’s my big brother, and I get to call him whatever the f+ck I like!”

Jude looked on, but he eventually shifted back, giving them privacy.

“Mama Mia!” Saint chuckled, looking at Tobias from his eyes to the shoes. “The Priest vestments look good on you, but violence looked much better on you five years ago.”

“You’re still annoying, brat.” Tobias said, tone closed-off.

Saint bursted into a serious laughter. “Wait … Was that you who talked just now? Calmly? Holy motherfuckin’….I can’t believe this shit!”

“Same way I don’t believe it,” Dean replied suddenly, joining them with his hands in his pockets.

Tobias turned around immediately, wanting to enter the rectory, but Dean pulled him back by the arm.

“You do not get to walk away, from me!!!” Dean yelled at him.

“Dean,” Saint cautioned, but Dean was only just beginning.

He grabbed Tobias tightly by the stole of his vestment.

“Dean!” Saint cautioned, again.

Dean and Tobias eyes met.

While Dean’s eyes spat flames, Tobias maintained the calmness.

“Everyone else might be fooled by your fake change, but not me! Cos that violence you were so into, it’d take more than five years to wash it away from your body! You’re the same beast who terrorized everyone at Hollow University that year! Students and lecturers feared you! You gave everyone scars!” Dean spat.

Then he let go of Tobias and yanked off his suit. He took off his white undershirt too.

Shirtless, he turned his back to Tobias. There’s a large, long, slanted scar on his back. The scar took the position of a cut—like someone slashed him with a cutlass.

“Here!” Dean shoved his scarred back at Tobias face. “You slashed me with a f+ckin cutlass on the night of our faculty dinner, and I nearly lost my backbone, only because I argued with you, and you want me to believe you changed? To hell with you!”

Jude is still where he stood—far from them, but he’s seeing everything, and his eyes are wide.

“Talk to me, Tobias!” Dean pushed Tobias on the chest. “Come on, cuss me out and get violent like you always did, p+ssyass!”

Tobias said nothing, just staring at Dean like a dummy. And that annoyed Dean so much.

“Fuckin talk to me!” He made to push his chest again, but Saint got in-between them.
