The night before the wedding, Melissa remained in the villa with Jessie, caught in a whirlwind of emotions and preparations.
Bright and early, Marcus arranged for the delivery of the invitation letters and went the extra mile by organizing a private plane for their journey.
This thoughtful gesture highlighted his considerate and kind-hearted nature.
Jessieâs engagement situation quickly descended into chaos.
Jessieâs absence left everyone scrambling, ultimately leading to a fallout between the two families.
At noon, the scene was set in a luxurious hotel in Heron.
Albertâs wedding venue was adorned in shades of blue, setting a serene backdrop.
His bride-to-be, a woman in her thirties, radiated a gentle grace and elegance.
During the wedding, Jessie made her entrance at the venue.
Clad in a vibrant dark purple dress, Jessie radiated an energy and youthfulness distinctly at odds with the demure elegance of Mrs.
Waston-to-beâ¦
Despite the Layers of makeup, they were insufficient to mask the signs of exhaustion etched across Jessieâs face.
As Jessie observed the couple making their way down the aisle, she harbored no intentions of disrupting the ceremony.
Instead, she was there merely to witness the man she once deeply loved commit to someone elseâ¦
Three yearsâ¦
After spending three years by this manâs side, it became painfully clear that he harbored no real concern for her.
Listening to his vows, Jessieâs smile was tinged with tears.
âMelissa, I feel so foolish.
All this time, I knew he had someone else in his heart, which was why he wouldnât marry.
I didnât really care because I knew he would never be with that woman in this lifetime, and I was so ready to spend my life with him even not as his legal partner, believing in a future that never was.
But the truth is, itâs not that heâs unable to marry; he simply chose not to marry me.
â
At last, Jessie saw the man for who he truly was.
After the ceremony, Albert spun around with his wifeâs arm looped through his own and then spotted Jessie and Melissa.
Obviously, Jessie had been shedding tears.
Albert fixed his gaze on Jessie.
Wasnât she supposed to be at her own engagement party? What was she doing at his wedding?
Then his eyes shifted to Melissa.
Melissa didnât mince words.
Balancing Jessieâs slumped form with one hand, she flashed a grin at Albert and his wife.
âHappy wedding, Mr.
Watson.
Mrs.
Watson, congrats!â
Albert glanced between Melissa and Jessie.
Jessieâs makeup was a bit smeared but she managed, her lips quivering, to say, âCongrats on your big day.
â
Perplexed, Albertâs new wife Daisy whispered, âAlbert, whoâs she?â
Womenâs intuition was always on point.
Instead of questioning about Melissa, she simply asked about Jessie.
