Dragging her feet to the middle of the dais, Heidi and Warren stood facing each other. Two maids followed them, holding the rings. Taking the silver ring from the maid, she pushed the ring on Warren's finger when he raised it. Hearing the polite claps around them. Readying herself, she raised her hand.
Heidi could feel her heartbeat as seconds seemed to have slowed down, dragging the time like she wanted to since morning had arrived. Everything was happening so fast now that she was hardly able to grasp the situation. Letting her eyes wander at the crowd for the briefest moment, her eyes met the eyes of the man who had stirred trouble in her mind. His stoic expression was in place with a small smile on his handsome face. Except for the silent exchange of gazes from morning, they hadn't spoken to each other. Call it an intuition but something wasn't right. She didn't know why but the thought of the lord enjoying her misery crossed her mind. Behind that sweet smile was a sadist.
