As Ace’s lips left mine, my cheeks burned with a deep shade of red, and my heart pounded loudly in my chest. I was left in a state of utter confusion and disbelief, unsure of what had just transpired between us. My mind was a jumbled mess, racing with a million thoughts, and I struggled to find my voice.
“Get yourself together,” Ace muttered, breaking the awkward silence. His voice was filled with a mixture of authority and care. “I’ll clean up and head to the ballroom soon.”
I nodded, unable to form any coherent words. As he placed a quick, tender kiss on my forehead, my heart fluttered once more, only intensifying my inner turmoil. He then left the bathroom, leaving me standing there, trying to comprehend what had just happened.
With shaky hands, I splashed cold water on my face, hoping it would help me regain some composure. However, the lingering feeling of his lips on mine made it difficult to focus on anything else. I berated myself mentally, questioning my actions and my feelings. “I am so stupid,” I whispered to myself, feeling a mixture of embarrassment and frustration.
After I cleaned up the evidence of my emotional turmoil, I took a deep breath and steadied myself. I couldn’t let this situation ruin Cher’s wedding day. This was her special moment, and I had to be there for her as her best friend. Pushing aside my tumultuous emotions, I decided to focus on the celebration and put the unexpected encounter with Ace behind me for the time being.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
As I stepped out of the bathroom, I saw Ace standing with his back towards me, gazing into the mirror. He seemed lost in thought, and I wondered if he was processing what had just happened as well. My heart skipped a beat, but I reminded myself that now was not the time to confront him again. Cher’s happiness was the priority, and I couldn’t let my own feelings complicate things.
I closed the door to the room quietly, giving myself a moment to collect my thoughts before heading to the ballroom. The sounds of laughter and music drifted down the hallway, reminding me of the joyous occasion unfolding just a few steps away. Taking a deep breath, I resolved to be present for Cher and cherish every moment of her wedding day.
As I entered the ballroom, the sights and sounds enveloped me in a warm embrace.
The ballroom was a breathtaking sight, transformed into a celestial wonderland that fulfilled Cher’s dream of a galaxy-themed wedding. As guests stepped into the room, they were immediately transported to a faraway galaxy, with stars twinkling overhead and a mesmerizing aura of cosmic magic.
The focal point of the decor was the stunning galaxy-themed backdrop that adorned the main stage. A massive mural depicted a breathtaking view of the cosmos, complete with swirling galaxies, distant nebulae, and shimmering stars.
The ceiling was a sight to behold, covered in a canopy of stars that glowed softly. Hundreds of tiny lights were carefully positioned, creating the illusion of a sparkling night sky. The stars seemed to dance and twinkle, enchanting guests with the feeling of being under an open, starlit sky.
Tables were adorned with exquisite black tablecloths that resembled the velvety darkness of space, serving as the perfect canvas for the galaxy-themed decor. Each table featured a centerpiece that embodied the beauty of the cosmos. Crystal vases held cascades of silver-dusted branches, adorned with twinkling LED lights and delicate paper stars. The branches reached out like celestial trees, emanating an otherworldly glow that added to the ethereal atmosphere.
Luminous glass globes, resembling distant planets, were scattered throughout the ballroom. Inside each globe, miniature galaxies seemed to swirl, captivating guests and drawing them into a world of wonder.
The wedding arch was a masterpiece in itself, designed to resemble a grand celestial gate. Metallic arcs of silver and gold intertwined to create an ethereal gateway adorned with glistening crystals and celestial motifs.
As I scanned the ballroom, my eyes settled on Ace standing in a corner, engrossed in conversation with someone I couldn’t quite see. My eyebrows furrowed, and confusion washed over me because I distinctly remembered leaving the bathroom with Ace just moments ago. “What the hell?” I whispered to myself, trying to make sense of the situation.
Ace finally noticed me and made his way over, asking, “Where were you all this time?” I blinked, my confusion growing even deeper. “What are you talking about?” I whispered back, not wanting to cause a scene. “I was with you.”
He looked at me as if I had lost my mind. “With me?” he asked, chuckling softly. “You’ve got jokes, Lily.”
My heart sank as I realized that something was terribly wrong. The pieces of the puzzle weren’t fitting together, and I felt a growing sense of panic inside me. What on earth was happening?
Suddenly, the door of the ballroom swung open with a loud noise, causing everyone’s attention to shift towards the entrance. My breath caught in my throat, and my head spun as I saw who walked in.
No way. This couldn’t be real. It wasn’t possible. Standing there was Alex, Ace’s identical twin brother. My heart raced as the truth hit me like a tidal wave-I hadn’t kissed Ace earlier; I had kissed motherfucking Alex.
