Chapter 33
Callie
After our night together , thing's started speeding up . I was always on the phone or meeting someone , Rachel and her parents were ecstatic . Rachel's pregnancy was Now starting to show and she was over the moon. I had Anthony take her out the night before the wedding just to pacify her. It was here the big day ,I had five special guests showing up. She and her bridesmaids were at Anthony's apartment getting Ready .
I told her I would be busy at the church making sure everything was in order that the limo would pick her up on time and she was happy with that. While Me ,Crystal , Marcy, Anthony's mom and my other friends who were my bridesmaids were over at our Apartment getting our hair ,nails and makeup done. Crystal was my maid of Honour and Jace was the best man. It was time , Crystal and Mrs Collins helped me get dressed. And we headed over to the church.
Anthony
Holy shiittttt I was getting married ,I always thought I would be nervous but I was over the fucking moon. She had asked her brother to walk her down the aisle and That was okay with me and Jace's Father .Mr Jacobs looked so happy.I knew if they ever found out we lied it would ruin everything ,but we swore the doctor to secrecy. We had everyone that was important to us at our wedding . After half an hour Rachel's guest would turn up.
I was standing at the altar with the other groomsmen who were friends of mine and Jace. When I saw her walking down the Aisle my heart skipped a beat . Here she was about to be my wife , something I never thought would happen in a million years. When Jace handed her to me he looked at me.
“Don't screw up or you're dead”
Everyone that heard started laughing. When she turned towards me and smiled , I couldn't believe this was actually happening. She was all I ever wanted and I had it . We decided to keep it short. Thirty minutes later we were officially husband and wife .I pulled her into me and kissed her.
“I love you Mrs Collins , I'll make you the happiest woman on earth”
“I love you too Mr Collins ”
Callie
We both headed to the pastor office. And explained the situation to him ,he only agreed after Anthony made a donation to the church . Crystal was taking care of the Guest for us. Jace and the others were out front waiting for Rachel's Supposed guest . Anthony and I were already married. There was nothing she could do. Jace was calling.
“Callie your special guests are arriving ”
“Great I'll meet them”
“Time to get this over with love”
“Okay wife ”
I just smiled at him as we walked out of the office. I walked to the front and met them.“Mr Samuels, Mr Jameson ,Mr Lawrence. Mr Roberts and Mr Anderson this is my Husband Anthony Collins ”
“Nice to meet you ,but I'm not sure what's going on ”
“You'll find out soon, if you gentlemen can kindly follow me. You'll need to wait in the office until she's up at the Altar”
They all nodded in agreement.We showed them to the office and I went and Changed out of my wedding dress. I'd let her see me in an ordinary dress then Change. I had all my bridesmaids Change their dresses until we would head over to the Reception venue , I didn't want anything tipping her off . Speak of the devil she was calling.
“Rachel please say you're on your way to the Church ? The guests have already started to arrive”
“I am , where is Anthony?”
“He's here with Jace , stop worrying”
“Okay I'll be there in ten minutes”
I ended the call and smiled. Of course you're worried, she should be . I called Jace to make sure the Guests were arriving ,he confirmed that they were all there except about four. That didn't matter. I peeped into the church and saw it packed. This was enough. There were people from our home town also ,the tale of her ruination would be told far and wide. I was waiting at the front of the church for her ,when she showed up I hurried her to a back room.
“Where's Anthony?”
“He's already at the altar, your Parents are out there too. You ladies know what to do right. you'll be walking in with the groomsmen , followed by the Ring bearer then the flower girl. ”
I bent down to set his little bow tie and fix her dress. "When you hear the wedding March the doors will open and you'll walk down the Aisle Rachel ”
“Where will you be ?”
“In the background making sure everything is going smoothly”
“Okay ”
“Alright people let's do this ”
I left her there and went to the other room, Crystal was already there helping me get into my wedding dress. Jace was watching the door.
“ Remember Jace the minute I walk out, she'll stop. Crystal is going to Call you you'll bring the men out through the same door she came in and make sure all the doors are locked, we don't want her running away”
“The boy's have everything set , don't worry”
“Okay let's ruin this bitch”.
Crystal and I headed out. We stood behind the confession box , that way we could see the entire Church , everyone was too busy looking at the bridesmaids and everything else. Her Mother was sitting there looking so proud ,it made me want to throw up. When the first strains of the wedding March started playing and the doors opened she looked so happy, smiling from ear to ear. Time to make it all crash down.
When she was halfway down the Aisle I nodded to Crystal to Call Jace. Then I stepped out from behind the confession box and walked over to Anthony . The minute I was within arm's length he held my hand. She stopped in her tracks. Her face had a whole host of Emotions. That's when the whispers and murmuring started.
“WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING CALLIE ?”
“I am standing next to my husband”
“WHAT , YOU'RE NOT MARRIED”
“Yes we are, about thirty minutes ago ”
“YOU CONNIVING AND EVIL BITCH ,YOU WERE ALWAYS TRYING TO STEAL ANTHONY AWAY FROM ME. I'M PREGNANT WITH HIS CHILD”
The murmuring got louder. I raised my hand up for everyone to be quiet.
“Look who's talking, you should be the last person to talk about conniving Rachel or should I say Elizabeth Lowery”
I saw the flash of panic across her face.
“What's the matter isn't that your name?. You moved to rural Connecticut And changed your name to Rachel Avery . But you're actually Elizabeth Lowery , born in South Texas to Michelle Lowery. Your attitude was so bad that she shipped you off to live with your aunt and uncle. At Least that's the story you concocted, then You introduced them as your parents.”
“SHUT UP”
“NO. Your life with them came at a price. You slept with your own uncle. Disgusting, he's your pimp. You target wealthy men and trap them for money saying you're pregnant . You've even been married three times .”
“THAT'S A LIE , SHE'S LYING DON'T LISTEN TO HER ”
“Really she's lying? so who did I marry Rachel Avery ,we spent a week together then you disappeared with my money. One million dollars then you show up saying you were pregnant that I needed to Marry you”
“Rachel ? She told me her name was Samantha Wilson she married me because she got pregnant ,then she disappeared with my money too after a miscarriage”
“Well to me she's Callie Jacobs ,only I found out a few weeks ago the young lady up there is the real Callie Jacobs. She did the same thing to me too”
“You Didn't even spare my name Rachel”
“I was married she blackmailed me because she was pregnant after she got the money she disappeared”
“She did that with me too ”
“DID YOU ACTUALLY THINK I WOULD LET YOU MARRY ANTHONY? no Rachel you're disgusting and not for only Cheating these men but what else you've done. Your mother never let you leave did she?. No, after digging really hard. You tried your best to hide it, they helped you hide it too ,you killed her . You killed your mother because you wanted freedom , she didn't want you to ruin your life and you didn't like that so you killed her”
“SHE WAS A FUCKING BITCH SHE DESERVED TO DIE ”
“The child you're claiming is Anthony's ,is actually your uncle's Child and that's the truth. You're a disgusting human being, A murderer , that's Incest. you even tried killing me”
That's when everything came crashing down around her. Everyone started pointing at her and whispering.
“WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU POINTING AT , YOU'RE NOT SAINTS NONE OF YOU ARE SAINTS ”
“Ms Jacobs or Should I say Mrs Collins thank you for contacting us , we've Already called the police as it is She needs to return our money,and go to jail for murder”
“I WON'T GO TO JAIL YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS CALLIE”
She tried to run but the doors were blocked. She stood There looking at me .
“I told you Elizabeth or should I say Rachel I told you not to mess with me . You tried to take what's mine and that won't work.”
This shit was done ,she was done.
“Now everyone that's here you're Rachel's Guest so I'm not sure what you intend to do , because Rachel was never going to have a wedding. Let's go Anthony”
