Chapter seventeen: Love
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“You’re doing what?” Cordelia Mason had never heard of such a thing as two weddings. Charles Mason was pacing back and forth as Christine sat with her mother drinking tea. “Erik and I are getting married again tonight and we want you both to come, it would mean so much to me, Erik as well.” Christine explained, hoping her parents would understand. Charles scoffed. “Why are you doing this Christine? Is forcing you to-” “For the last damn time he NEVER forced me to do anything!” Christine shouted for the first time at her father. Christine rose to her feet and walked swiftly towards the door. “If you don’t want to come to my wedding fine, I don’t want you there!” Christine yelled. She threw open the door and ran down the hotel hall.
Cordelia jumped to her feet and ran after her daughter. Cordelia found Christine sitting in the hallway leaned against the wall crying. Cordelia sat next to her daughter and wrapped her arm around her. “I’m sorry for your father, Christine. If you want…to marry this man again then you have my blessing. Your father and I will be at the church tonight.” Cordelia promised her daughter. Christine smiled and wiped away her tears. Suddenly coming down the hall quickly was Raoul Changy. “Christine, I came as soon as I got your message. What is it you wanted to tell me?” Raoul asked almost excitedly. “Mother can I talk to Raoul alone?” Christine asked. Cordelia nodded her head and went back to her hotel room where Charles was waiting.
Christine took hold of Raoul’s arm and led to a more secluded area of the hall. “Raoul, I care for you and I cherish your friendship deeply,” Christine paused and sighed deeply. “Which is why I want you to come…to my wedding tonight.” Christine finished looking right into Raoul’s eyes. Raoul thought Christine had asked him here to tell him some good news but instead she asked him to come to her wedding! “I thought you already married that…man.” Raoul said, trying hard not unclench his jaw…and fists. “I did, but now I want to get married in front of the people I love. To prove to everyone that Erik isn’t forcing me to marry him. This is my choice.” Christine said. Christine moved her hand to Raoul’s and smiled softly.
Raoul looked into Christine’s eyes and tore his hand away from Christine. “How could you!? I waited years for you and this is how you repay me?!” Raoul suddenly slapped Christine across the face. Christine fell to the ground in shock. Her body was now shaking and becoming racked with sobs. Her best friend had just hit her and Christine felt her heart break. Raoul reached down and grabbed Christine’s wrists and pulled her up to his body and pushed her against the wall, trapping her to him. “I love you, Christine. Can’t you see it?” Raoul demanded. Christine could only weep. “Please…you’re hurting me,” Christine whimpered.
Raoul let go of her wrists and then grasped her head in his hands and looked intently into her eyes. Suddenly Raoul pressed a kiss to her forehead. He had changed from violent to gentle in only moments. Tears fell from both of their eyes. “I am sorry, Christine.” Raoul whispered. Christine closed her eyes and wept with him. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist. “No…I am sorry.” Christine told him gently. Raoul pulled back and looked down at her. Suddenly with out warning Raoul pressed his lips to Christine’s.
Once more Raoul pinned her to the wall holding her there with his body. Christine struggled and finally was able to pull away from him. “Please…stop it!” Christine yelled at him before running away. Raoul just stood there, his heart broken and his soul shattered. Raoul didn’t know how he was supposed to go on living. Christine ran out of the hotel and got into the car where Amar was waiting. They drove back to the hotel where Erik waited for her.
