NOT my sister

* Chapter 4 : Thief *

Jasmine gasped. " That is my bracelet "

"I told you sister,she is no good " Jasmine sister spoke up as her face contorted in disgust.

Was she the only one who saw how evil this Lucia was!

George Lawrence who had quiet for a while,waved his dismissively.

" Forget about that nuance.Let me get my real daughter married first then deal with her"

Lucia begged once more instead one of the guards placed tape on her lips. Then carried her downstairs and dropped her on the floor then called the police.

The doors opened this time with silence. They all heard what was going on outside and Lucia had been exposed. The music began and the bride's father accompanied her down the Isle.

However, Jasmine was having mixed feelings. She only stayed to proof Lucia wrong because Lucia had did the same in the past and she found out later but still forgave her.

Jasmine sighed heavily,she was truly a softer in her last life. How did she find it easy to forgive all Lucia's doings in her last life?

Then again in her past life,three years later from now Lucia married Keith. At the time she hated Keith so much that she almost stopped their wedding. Also, because Lucia said he forced her to marry him.

The music stopped bringing Jas back to the present. She stood between the priest and Keith. He looked stern but still incredibly handsome.

What was happening? Why did she get lost anytime she looks at him? Was she doing the right by marrying this man in order to have her revenge on Lucia. She swallowed hard and heard the little sermon by the priest.

" I do "she heard Keith say.

It was now her turn. Jasmine had cold feet's she wanted to run out there. How could she marry him? Was this not the same way it started and she ended up marrying that monster. What if it ended the same way with? The heart in her chest began pounding heavily, thoughts of what to do were scattered everywhere.

Jasmine held the hem of her gown when she saw her mother at the entrance. Everywhere became still like time was frozen.

" Mom! What should I do? " she inquired jerking her shoulders.

Mrs Lawrence smiled the continued " The opposite of what you did in your past life "

She understood, Jasmine nodded. Everything began moving once more.

Then Keith bending a bit whispered in her ear. " If you do not want to push through with this, nothing is stopping you too. I will not force you "

Tears found their way again in her eyes. How could she be so blind?

" Do you Miss Lawrence take Mr Yates in lawful matrimony-- "

" I do" she replied without letting the priest finish his sentence. Slowly she pushed the ring on his finger.

The expression on Keith's face was priceless. Saying he was not shocked? Is a giant lie. He stared at the girl by him who repeated everything the priest said so obediently.

" I now pronounce you man and wife " the congregation stood up and clapped. Petals of flowers fell from the ceiling to the couple.

Jasmine jerked in surprise, lifting her palms so they could fall on it. A smile curled on her lips unintentionally. The crowd whistled throwing them petals of flowers.

One person in the crowd stood. " Kiss "

The priest flicked his head out of his forgetfulness. "You may now kiss your bride "

Jasmine face became red. She stared at Keith.

Using his eyes he asked if he could kiss her and she reluctantly blinked softly. He took a step and raised up her veil, holding the back of her neck he pecked her lips.

Jasmine stood still appalled, Linda who was standing by Jasmine side, pushed Jasmine a bit and the kiss intensified as her lips were on his. The crowd clapped and doves were released.

" Vows " another person from the congregation reminded the priest.

" Oh right " the priest was old so he forgot some things. Anyways he was the priest of the Yates family.

Everyone never expected the great Keith Yates to have a vow ready. He stared at Jasmine with his lips slightly raised up.

" Give me your hand, and I will give you forever. You will never know sadness. Just trust me"

It was so emotional that women took their husbands hands. On the other hand Jasmine stood teared up, those short words could make her so happy. She hugged him unconsciously.

It was now her time. A vow she had wrote for Carl but they ended up signing sheets of papers rather than a real wedding. It made her sad, thankfully she could remember each and every word she began swearing in her heart to give this marriage her all.

"You love me in love and complete me in ways I never knew possible. From this day forth, I promise to listen to you and learn from you, to support you and accept your support. I will celebrate your successes and mourn your losses as though they were my own. I will love you, my husband, and rejoice in your love for me for all of the years of our lives till my death "

Keith gaped at his wife in shock. Did she really say those words?

Was she not the same girl who appeared in his house this morning with a knife and rope asking him to kill her for it made no difference, since she would die after marrying him. Despite all his efforts she slit her wrist, thankfully he stopped or else the cut might be deeper and now she was confessing her love in front of all this people.

Perhaps it was a new plan of hers. He stared at her skeptically but she seem too be lost in thoughts. He had taken noticed of her spacing out now and then.

" Did you two have a fight? Is that why you married me?" she heard him ask.

This did not come as a surprise to Jasmine. She gaped at the extraordinary man whose face enlarged as he came closer. They were now leading the joyous crowd out of the Church.

He looked at her expectantly.

" No. I meant everything I said. I decided to give you a chance because I know you love me. Am I right?" her eyes shone while looking up to him.

Keith took her hand and stared at her deeply. " Ever since that they day you threw paint on my car "

This made Jasmine chuckle as recalled that day.
