A Runaway Bride English

Henrietta's POV

By this time tomorrow, I'll be a married woman. It's hard to wrap my head around it.

Three years ago my parents introduced me to Peter, the love of my life.

He was from a very rich home and our families are doing business together.

I never thought I'll fall for him but he was sweet and treated me like a queen, buying me gifts and taking me on trips.

He never once commented on my curviness or my boring brown hair and eyes. He always called me beautiful.

So when my parents said we should get married I immediately said yes because Peter was perfect and I couldn't imagine my life with someone else.

I came from a modest home. We were comfortable and lived in harmony.

I'm the eldest out of three children, my sister Chloe and the last child Jack.

Chloe was my maid of honor in my wedding. We grew up like typical sisters. Fighting one moment, thick as thieves the next moment.

Where I'm voluptuous, Chloe is stick thin. She always attracted attention anywhere we went because she looked like a model.

Our parents also compared us a lot, 'why can't you be like Chloe?'

I had a little low self esteem as a result but Peter helped be realize that I am beautiful and smart regardless of what anybody thinks.

Speaking of Peter, I know the groom isn't supposed to see the bride before the wedding but I just missed him and really wanted to see him.

I snuck into his room in the hotel we are using for the wedding.I might have bribed the receptionist for his key. The things we do for love.

I walked on light feet because I wanted to surprise him. He's always doing nice things for me. I just said let me return the favor.

I heard voices so I slowed down at the hallway to his bedroom hoping I don't disturb his conversation .

I wasn't eaves dropping but my ears stood at attention when I heard my name.

"Henrietta is so stupid. She thinks I love her. I don't know where you guys got your sister from. She's fat and ugly. I can barely even carry her. How will we cope in bed? If she rides me I won't walk again" his chuckles mixed with a feminine voice.

I heard Peter say to who I guessed was Chloe. My suspicions were correct when she said," come on baby she's still my sister"

Baby?

"she's stupid that's just a fact. If not for my father saying I have to marry the first born, I'd have gone for you. You're more my type than that elephant"

His words tore open my heart and silent tears rolled down my face.

My sister giggled and then I heard strange noises like they were kissing.

But that can't be right. My sister would never betray me. Right?

I stuck my head out to see into the room and my heart stuttered to a stop.

She was on his lap wearing only a thong. And he was buck naked.

"can you believe that in three years your sister only allowed me to kiss her? Just kisses. If not for you I'd have died of blue balls long time ago"

"I remember the quickie we had in the bathroom next to her room. The day you first came to the house to sign the papers. Do you remember?"
