He only married me to show her that he already moved on Chapter 91 - ninety-one: Their most important day

Gabriel's POV:

"Hey bro, relax. You looked so tense."

I felt a tap on my shoulder followed by chuckles from behind. I turned around to see Bryan, my best man holding my shoulder while grinning. We are now standing near the entrance and waiting for my bride to arrive and to start our wedding ceremony. 

"Relax, she will come." he added, with amus.e.m.e.nt dancing in his both eyes. 

"Don't worry Gab, Madi won't leave you this time," Martin said, and it followed again by chuckles from all the boys behind me, including my father. 

"She loves you so much, son. They will soon arrive, so try to relax."

"I can't help it Dad, I'm nervous. It's my first time to feel so nervous like this!" they all laughed at me but I just ignored them. 

I tried to calm my insides but the more I try, the more I feel nervous instead. It's far from the first time I asked her to marry me or even in our first wedding at Mr. Dioson's office. 

And after ten minutes, the longest ten minutes of waiting in my whole life, we heard the sounds of the bell from the church's bell tower. Which is the indication that the ceremony was about to start and that means my bride has finally arrived. 

I turned around because I wanted to see even a glimpse of her, but they already closed the door. And the song 'He has chosen you for me', began to hear in the air. 

"Come on, son. The priest is now waiting for you at the altar." Dad patted my shoulder. 

I took a deep and long breath before I smiled and nodded to him. And by the signal of one of the church's staff, we started walking towards the altar. 

All our family members and those people that served as our greatest companions from the very beginning of our journey, were all present in this ceremony and in this very important day of our lives. 

We both decided to have a simple and private church wedding ceremony, together with our families, closest friends and some business colleagues, but certainly NO media, paparazzi or whatever entertainment press. We only hired some professional photographers and videographers to cover the ceremony. 

When all the wedding entourage members were already at the front of the altar, I felt the loud pounding of my heart inside. All the nervousness were placed by anticipation, happiness and excitement that make my tears to form in my both eyes. 

"She's here."

I gulped and tried to stay calm when I felt my father's hand on my shoulder. I started to hold my breath when they opened the church's door. And I suddenly felt the tears rolled down in my face when I finally see my bride. She's looked so beautiful in her white wedding dress, exactly the message from the song 'Beautiful in white' which is starting to play in the air. 

Yes, she looked beautiful in white, the woman who made me smile again and made me learn the true meaning of love, is now wearing her white wedding dress as she walks slowly and gracefully towards me. And I felt another tears coming from my eyes when she looked at me and smiled. I noticed that she's also in tears like me. 

Madi's POV:

I can't explain what exactly I feel right now. Mixed emotions of nervousness, happiness, love, and feeling thankful. People who were present in our surprised engagement party were also present on this day. 

I was left standing outside while waiting for the door to open when Mom and Dad entered inside. And the moment it opened, a gasp escaped from my throat when I see the motif and arrangements of the aisle and the altar. White and peach roses were on both sides of the aisle and some petals were scattered on the floor. 

I started to step inside and my parents waited for me at the middle of the aisle. But tears formed in my eyes when I saw the man of my life looking devilishly handsome as ever, and waiting for me in front of the altar. When our eyes met, I felt the world stop from its axis as I realized that from this day, I will be officially and forever his, and I can now finally call him as mine. 

He's dumping a white handkerchief on his face, and that made me smile at him. Who would have thought that I could make him cry? The well known 'devil' and the famous Gabriel Wilsons is now in tears while waiting for the queen. The ever beautiful, confident and strong me. 

When we reached the altar, Dad hugged me tightly before he turned to Gabriel. 

"Son, I'll entrust to you my daughter. I hope you could make your promise that you will take care of her. And don't hesitate to call me if you need some advice on how to give us more grandchildren." he winked at him, that caused me to blush. 

"Daddy? You are in front of the altar!" I complained as I glared at my father. 

But they just laughed at me, including my Mom. 

"I will Dad. Thank you." Gabriel said while hugging him. 

"My baby. Finally, I've been waiting for this day to come. To walk and bring you to the altar, and give your hand to the man you loved." my mother hugged me and kissed me on my cheek. "Gabriel, please take care of my baby. She's my one and only baby."

"I will Mom, I'll promise you that."

"Make it sure, because if you try to cheat on her and make her cry like before, I'll be the one to chop your precious jewels!" she playfully warned him and he chuckled while shaking his head. And when he looked at me, I know what he was thinking at that moment.. he knows where did I get the words 'precious jewels'. 

He takes my hand and guided me as we take our seats in our dedicated chairs. I glanced at him and I found him staring at me intently.

"Why?" I asked him in a whisper. 

He smiled and pressed his hold on my hand under the table. 

"You're so beautiful."

He also whispered and we smiled at each other, not noticing that the priest in front of us was just waiting for our little conversation to finish. But since we're both under the spell called 'love' we both forget that we're not in our own world. 

"Aherm.." we're both flinched in shock when the priest used his microphone to catch our attention. "Good morning to the both of you, may I ask if you now want to continue the ceremony or we're going to wait for you to finish your romantic staring competition?" the priest asked the two of us while grinning. 

I bite my lips when I heard the chuckles from all of the people inside the church. When all of them has already stopped from laughing, the priest started the matrimonial ceremony. 

And when it's the time to mention our vows, Gabriel was the one who speaks first. 

Gabriel's POV:

"Madi.."

I looked at her and take her left hand while my other hand is holding the microphone. 

"Three years ago I offered you a deal. A deal to be my wife for my personal reason. But there's one thing I haven't told you yet. The moment I laid my eyes on you inside my office, you already captured my heart by being exactly who you are. The intelligent woman who answered all my questions with confidence, the only woman who has the braveness inside, to roll her eyes and raise her eyebrows on me, when she thinks that I am not looking at her.."

She chuckled, maybe she also remembered those moments. 

"The woman who makes my coffee three times a day, and the woman I offered my stupid deal, was the same woman who I fell in love with, and once dreamed to be in my arms forever. Madielyn Davis, you have been my friend and my advisor three years ago. You have been the reason why I learned to smile again and to get my life back into its normal self. You believed in me when no one else would, you have shown me the real meaning of love and happiness. 

That's why today, in front of you, our family and friends, I promise to spend the rest of my days by your side. To laugh with you when times are good. To cry and struggle with you when they are bad. To wipe your tears with my own hands. To comfort you with my body, to share with you all of my riches and honours, to play with you as much as I can until we grow old, and to never take one second for granted. 

Madielyn Davis, I promise to be the best man I can be, to love you unconditionally, to cherish you in every hour of every day in our lives. And I promise to be your partner, your best friend and your husband now and forever, 'till death do us part."

I wiped her tears before I slid the ring on her ring finger. 

Madi's POV:

"Gabriel, three years ago, before you offered me your 'stupid deal', I became your personal assistant. And yes, I was really brave enough by then to raise my eyebrow and roll my eyes on you. Because by that time, you were the handsome Greek god in my eyes, despite your being cold, distant, and loner. You didn't even know how to smile, that's why I often called you 'zombie' for being cold and lifeless. And 'bipolar' for having mood swings, arrogant, rude, heartless and grumpy most of the times."

I paused as I heard the chuckles around us, including the priest who's standing in front of us. 

"But after three years, you showed me the different side of you, the real you. And I also want to share a secret with you. I've fallen in love with you, the very first day you smiled at me and you showed me your cute dimple. And the real reason why I accepted your offer was because I want you to see me, not just your PA but a woman who can love you and care for you unconditionally. And I took that opportunity, hoping that maybe someday you will notice me and learn to love me. 

But here we are, after my three years of waiting, I finally caught your attention and you're now madly in love with me!" I winked at him and he chuckled, together with all the people that watching us. 

"On this day, in front of all the important people in our lives, in front of the God's representative, I promise to always stay true, to listen and to honor you as your wife, your friend and your partner. I promise to live with you, to laugh, to stand by your side, and sleep in your arms. I promise to always work things out even when we fight, I will take care of you and always have your back. 

I promise to be the joy to your heart and be the food for your soul. To always encourage and inspires you, to do my equal shares and to never give up on you. I'll try to do my best to fulfil your every need, to support your goals in life, to give you honor, trust and respect, to help you succeed, and to build you up when you are low. 

Gabriel Wilsons, I promise that you will always have my deepest love, and my fullest devotion. Today, I give you my hand, my heart, my soul, my love and my fidelity, completely and forever, 'till death do us part."

When I slid the ring on his ring finger, I witnessed the tears the rolled down on his cheeks. And that also made me smile with my own river of tears. 

"Bride and groom, you have heard the words about love and marriage, have exchanged your vows and made your promises, and celebrated your union with the giving and receiving of your rings. It is at this time that I now pronounce you as husband and wife. Those whom God hath joined together, let no one put asunder. 

You may now kiss-----" but before the priest could finish his speech, Gabriel already lifted my veil, cupped my both cheeks and captured my lips into an excited kiss. "-----and you are now kissing the bride! Congratulations!"

I smiled through the kiss when I heard the round of applause and cheers from all of our witnesses on this important day of our lives. 

"Yes! You're now my wife!" he screamed suddenly when he pulled back. 

I chuckled at him. "But I am your wife since three years back!" I also levelled my voice in his excitement. 

"Yes, but today is different. Because before, I can't touch you, I can't even kiss you longer even if I really wanted to." he smirked and I raised my eyebrow. "But now, since you're officially mine, I can now do all your father's suggestions and advises. We're going to make more and more babies!"

I blushed as my eyes widened with what he said. 

"My gosh, Gabriel! You're such an...argh!" I glared at him while controlling myself not to laugh. 

"Don't worry, love. I'll be gentle." he even whispered to my ear. 

"Oh, God!" I muttered lowly and I closed my eyes as I felt the blush crept down on my neck. He just chuckled at me. And a loud gasped escaped from my lips when he bend and scooped me in a bridal style. 

He walked again on the aisle towards the door, while I am in his arms and our family members were cheering and clapping their hands behind us. And right outside the church, his new Maybach Exelero is now waiting for us, to bring us to our reception venue. 

Finally, I am now officially, Mrs. Madielyn Wilsons, the bestfriend, the partner and the wife of the famous Gabriel Wilsons.
