My Fierce Rival Crashed My Wedding and Took the Microphone, I Tensed Up \u2013 Story of the Day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was over the moon on my wedding day until my fierce rival crashed the wedding and took the microphone. \u201cHi, everyone. Nobody invited me, but I\u2019m here to talk about something very important,\u201d she said as she began her speech. I tensed up.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wedding was in full swing when my husband\u2019s self-proclaimed lover, Mary, appeared in the festival hall. I became anxious. \u201cWhy did she come here? I told you several times not to invite her!\u201d I told Tom angrily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom gave me an awkward smile. \u201cCalm down, darling. Such a trifle can\u2019t affect our wedding!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut Tom, I asked you!\u201d I retorted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSee, Jessica. I really didn\u2019t invite her! I don\u2019t know why she\u2019s here!\u201d Tom explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t lie, Tom, I know\u2026\u201d Before I could finish, the guests interrupted us. \u201cKISS! KISS! KISS! WE WANT YOU TO KISS EACH OTHER! NOW!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom and I held each other\u2019s hands and kissed passionately until the toastmaster interrupted us. \u201cIt\u2019s time for our bride to throw the bouquet. Let\u2019s see whose wedding will be next!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The girls all stepped out of the festive table and formed a circle. I stood in the center of the circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I positioned myself, I heard some girls talking about how I looked gorgeous in the snow-white dress I had dreamed of a month ago. I blushed. I still couldn\u2019t believe it had finally happened. I had married my boss, a charming and wealthy businessman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon, the girls parted and gathered in one place. Everyone raised their hands and prepared themselves to grab the bouquet and become the next person to get married. I turned my back on the girls and threw the bouquet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I turned back, though, I was surprised to see the bouquet in the hands of my rival, Mary. She looked at me and smiled, but I ignored her and walked away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The toastmaster continued his speech. \u201cThe girl who caught the bouquet, please come up to the microphone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary took a step towards the stage, lifting her purple gown. When she held the microphone in her hands, my heart skipped a beat. I was sure she would say something to ruin our wedding. I should have thrown her out of the hall!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The toastmaster looked at Mary and asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s your name, young lady? Please introduce yourself!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moment I saw Mary standing there to begin her speech, my whole life flashed in front of my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was a little girl running along the river when I met my first love. His name was Micheal, and he was five years older than me. He was limping when I saw him that day. Maybe he\u2019d strained his leg in some way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I came to a halt beside the river and fixed my gaze on him. Suddenly, I saw he slipped and fell in the river. I cried at the top of my voice, and luckily a fisherman saw him and saved his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ran up to Micheal and asked if he was okay. He took my hand in his and said, \u201cThank you for saving me. When I grow up, I\u2019ll marry you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From that moment on, I waited and didn\u2019t move away from Micheal. Even when he went to the army, I waited for him to return. And one day, he finally came back. I was eighteen by then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, look, you haven\u2019t forgotten me.\u201d Michael had said, taking my hand. \u201cSo, will you marry me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, I had to, because I soon realized that I was expecting a baby. We had a low-key wedding, and soon, I moved in with Michael\u2019s parents while our house was being built. They were quite nice to me. However, one day, when I was heavily pregnant, Michael didn\u2019t return home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got up a couple of times during the night and went to the construction site, but he was nowhere to be seen. Worried, I ran over to my mother-in-law. \u201cMichael is not home yet. I\u2019m concerned,\u201d I told her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She patted my head affectionately. \u201cOh, honey. That\u2019s how everyone lives. Do you think my husband didn\u2019t cheat on me? But later, he came to his senses. Tough it up, dear,\u201d she advised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, soon, the whole town was buzzing that Micheal had an affair with Samantha. I couldn\u2019t take it any longer. so when my daughter, Helen, was born, I moved in with my parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Micheal persuaded me to return twice, and each time, I did. But after a while, everything happened again, and this time it was worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Micheal now had multiple ladies in his life, not just one or two. Samantha, Vicky, Melinda \u2026 every time it was a new woman. I was done trying to make the marriage work, so I divorced him and never looked back again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to that experience, I decided to get married out of convenience. But little did I know I\u2019d actually fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I contacted Aunt Catherine who lived in the city. She arranged for me to take office work courses and eventually work as a secretary in Tom\u2019s firm. Because the former secretary got married and went on maternity leave, this happened at the perfect time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contender for this position, though, was Mary. She had already worked as an assistant secretary and was head over heels for her boss. Everyone knew about it, but Tom did not notice it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, it wasn\u2019t easy to win against Mary, but finally, it worked out. And now Tom and I are married. The only thing that worried me was that I didn\u2019t tell Tom I had a daughter and an ex-lover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought I\u2019d talk about it when we had children. However, if Mary revealed everything right now, not only would Tom and my relationship be ruined, but I would also be humiliated in front of the guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary had conducted a background check on me when she learned that Tom and I liked each other. She knew everything that had happened back in my hometown. She never confronted me directly, but I learned that the lady knew everything about me through some people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, as she approached the microphone, my heart sank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood afternoon everyone, my name is Mary. I\u2019d been working for Tom for a long time. Nobody invited me here. But I came. I came to say\u2026\u201d she began her speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I held Tom\u2019s hand tightly in anxiety and squeezed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom looked at me affectionately. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to worry, Jess. I know everything. I know about your past,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was taken aback. \u201cWait a minute, what? But how?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll talk about it later, Jess. And don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ve forgiven you already,\u201d he said. I grasped Tom\u2019s hand hard once more, this time out of love rather than fear of Mary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGo on!\u201d he nodded to Mary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary continued, \u201cI came to say \u2026 words of greeting for you, Tom and Jessica. Be happy! And this is a gift from our team.\u201d With that, she brought a big box into the hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I opened the present, I whispered to Mary, \u201cDid you come just to give us a gift?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes,\u201d Mary answered. \u201cI liked Tom a lot, but I know he loves you. So I really hope you guys stay happy forever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I leaned forward and hugged Mary. \u201cYou know, everyone says that I got married out of convenience. But I love him!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mary<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know, Jessica,\u201d Mary told me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this way, it had a happy ending. Later, I found out that Tom had fallen in love with me at first sight. And of course, he immediately investigated everything he needed to know about me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also had a conversation with my ex-husband when he came to ruin our relationship. But Tom fought for me. He didn\u2019t pay attention to the rumors. He didn\u2019t pay attention to the fact that I kept my past a secret. He wanted to be a loving husband and the father of my children. And he played the role extraordinarily well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had twins, Sam and Aaron, a year after we married, and Tom loved all of the children, Helen, Sam, and Aaron, unconditionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
