Mommy, Where's Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return

Chapter 115: The Surprise Wedding



Many years had passed since Ethan and Samantha got married. Yet, Samantha's beauty remained remarkable at thirty-three. Her golden hair already grew down to her back, and she did not seem to have aged at all.

She had her hair somewhat straightened, with just enough waves to give life to her still angelic face.

It was thanks to Ethan's pampering that she always had time to take care of herself.

Getting her hair and make-up done in front of a vanity table, she received compliments left and right.

"Mrs. Wright, you are so beautiful. Your husband must really adore you."

"Mr. and Mrs. Wright are perfect for each other."

Samantha smiled as they fixed her up. She said, "I am... confident about that too. We are a great pair."

Still, it was because she was wondering about the dress she was about to wear that she asked, "Although the dress has Sapphire gems on them, does it look to you as a wedding gown?"

"No, no. Mrs. Wright. This dress is personally produced by an Italian designer, famous for her gowns and dresses. It's not a wedding dress," said the stylist who was standing behind Samantha.

With everyone telling her that she was just going to wear an expensive gown, Samantha became fully convinced.

Over two hours passed. Her makeover was complete.

She turned into a beautiful queen with a crown over her head.

Looking at the mirror, she could not help but drop her jaws.

Her dress looked like a Cinderella gown, but it was embellished with sapphire crystals on top. Down to her feet, the skirt flowed like a balloon.

She wore a sapphire necklace and earrings that dangled down to her jawlines. She wore light makeup with a tinge of blue in her eyes.

Her hair was pulled back behind her head, and on top was a sapphire crown.

"Sapphire, what does it symbolize?" She asked herself.

"Ah, sapphire means purity, wisdom, and chastity. Any of which can represent The Second Diamond Hotel." The stylist interrupted her thoughts. "We best get going now, Mrs. Wright. The photoshoot is about to start."

"Wait, is my husband already here?" Samantha asked, recalling how they were supposed to be together in this alleged shoot.

"Yes, I believe Mr. Wright is already in the ballroom where the first pictorial is going to be done. We opted to separate your changing rooms so there are no distractions," added the stylist.

Samantha walked out of her suite in her elegant dress.

With the assistance of the stylist and the hotel staff, she made her way to the ballroom that was said to be where the first photoshoot was going to be.

As soon as she arrived, she frowned.

Not only were there several hotel staff, standing by, holding the huge door, but they were also using the biggest convention room in the hotel. She pouted her lips before muttering, "Did we have to use this ballroom?"

For some odd reasons, Samantha suddenly felt her heart race!

Her hands became sweaty, and she found herself looking around, searching for clues that would address her inkling.

"Please step here, Mrs. Wright," said one hotel staff, whom she already knew.

"Can you tell me what's going on?" Samantha asked. "Somehow, I don't feel this is an ordinary photo shoot."

"Oh, it isn't Mrs. Wright, but if you'll get through the door, you'll know the special arrangement for this pictorial," said the hotel staff.

With her heart drumming against her ribcage, she stopped by the door and as soon as the doors opened; she heard a song played so loud across the ballroom; it was so deafening.

-"Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer"~

It was A Thousand Years by Christina Perri.

The venue was dark with blue lights, highlighting the entire place. Smoke filled the entrance, giving Samantha a vague view of the surroundings.

As Samantha stepped in, her mind began to look back to her day and even the days before.

'No wonder... No wonder Ethan was always on the phone.'

'No wonder we celebrated our anniversary yesterday.'

Tears rolled down her face, recalling how someone from the hotel had taken her measurements, insisting on making new chef uniforms when she already had so many! Slowly, all the lights to the venue came on, and it became clearer to Samantha how she was having a wedding anniversary without her knowledge.

A woman approached, giving her a bouquet to hold.

After gripping on the flowers, she looked up and saw her husband at the very front, putting a hand on his chest.

Only then did Samantha look around. She saw her parents next to Ethan, her children at the near front.

More tears flowed down her face, despite her effort of holding it back. She thought in silence, 'I am the only one who did not know.'

She suddenly recalled their conversation way back, during her parent's renewal of vows. It was then when Samantha realized how Ethan was right. Despite being with her husband for five years, still, he managed to surprise her.

As soon as Samantha reached Ethan, he helped wipe the wetness from her face. He said, "I told you, I'd surprise you."

Ethan, while in his late thirties, still looked divine. It was one thing that Samantha appreciated about her husband; how he also took care of himself.

His handsome face reflected a smile before he took out a velvet box and opened it in front of Samantha and their guests that practically occupied the entire ballroom.

Taking out a sapphire ring, Ethan

Ethan's proposal warranted a laugh from everyone, including his wife.

Sighs of admiration could be heard coming from the crowd, utterly romanticized by Ethan's actions.

"Of course, Etkan, my love. I will

marry you again and again. That is how much love you." When

Ethan just smiled and put the ring on her finger. He leaned over and pecked on Samantha's cheek and swore, "Trust me, honey. I can still find a way to surprise you."

Before five hundred of their visitors, coming from family, friends, and co-workers, Ethan and Samantha renewed their vows from inside the biggest venue of The Second Diamond Hotel on their 5th year anniversary.

It was a blissful and inspiring event, influencing love and affection.

Right after the officiant urged Ethan to kiss his bride, Ethan teased, whispering in Samantha's ears, "You know what follows a wedding, right? Guess where we are going for our honeymoon?"

Samantha flushed while they were being photographed. She muttered, "Hon. We practically have a honeymoon nearly every day."

"Oh, those are just regular days. A honeymoon is different," told Ethan with a nasty grin on his face.
