Winning Back My Star crossed Lover

Chapter ONE.

Erika's POV.

"The necklace looks so good on you." Raven complimented me with a very huge smile on her face, and immediately she helped me with the necklace on my neck. I touched the diamond necklace that was given to me by my future in-laws.

It looked so good, and it matched with my white long dress. I would be getting married today. It was really a happy day in my life, and words can't express how happy I was.

I stood up from the chair, and admired my body shape that I could see through the mirror. "We should get going now. The guests must be waiting for us at the church." Raven reminded me, while she stared at the wristwatch that was right on her wrists.

I grabbed my crystal purse that was on top of the drawer, while she walked right behind me. We entered the car that was sent to pick us up at his house. My parents must be at the location already.

We were almost at the church. I was still finding it hard to believe that I would be getting married to him after four years of being together with him. Even though it was supposed to be a contract marriage, it happened that we both happened to fall in love, and that was the best part of it.

"Finally!" I muttered under my breath when we got to the church. I came down from my car, while I walked towards the entrance of the door. Raven walked right at my back as my best friend.

I looked right into the church and noticed that he wasn't there yet. I had to look at my wristwatch to confirm if I was not too early.

"The bride is here already." One of the guests announced this while all of them stared at me.

What is happening? I could see his dad walking to the entrance. "We have been trying his number, but it was switched off. It looked like he ran away." His dad informed me, while I squinted my eyes, knowing that it was not true.

"Have you tried calling his friend?" I questioned Charles's father. 

"We tried his number; he told us that he couldn't reach him either." His father answered me. I touched my head in frustration. Why did he have to act this way on the most important day of my life?

"You don't have to ruin your makeup. We will just wait for him." He held my arm while he assisted me into the church.

"You don't have to feel bad." His mother, who was right by my side, told me while she patted my shoulder. They should do something about it. They had the power to find his location right now, and nothing was going to happen.

That was how powerful the family was.

Some of the guests were already complaining, while others were going. Why would he decide to humiliate me this way? After a few minutes of waiting, I heard that familiar voice.

It was that of Charles. He was here already. I looked back, and I was stunned to see him standing with a lady. He was with the popular actress. I squinted my eyes, hoping that I wasn't seeing the wrong thing.

"Why is he this way? Did you two have a fight before now?" His mother questioned me while I nodded my head in disapproval. There was no reason why the both of us would fight.

Anytime we fought, we would make sure to sort things out on that day, or a day before.

"No, mom." I answered her. 

"I am so sorry if I came late." He apologized while he reached the front of the church. I looked at him, and the way he held the lady's wrist. 

It looked as if he was so happy. "I am so sorry for coming late." He apologized again. He then looked at me, and I looked at him.

I was still confused by what was happening. I stood up from where I was sitting, and then walked up to him.

"What do you think you are up to? Why are you with her?" I questioned him. He diverted his gaze towards me.

"I am so sorry, Erika." He told me. He looked at the famous actress, who was right at his side, and then kissed her at my front. It was a very intense kiss.
