Destined Desire
Chapter 1: His Wedding Day
Standing at the alter, he couldn't envision a more beautiful day. Here he was with his long time girlfriend about to venture into that next step of their lives. Which would be a symbol of forever until death should do them part. And for the years that would follow after this day, he could barely wait.
His best men stood besides him at the alter. One of them being that of whom is Philip Kiriakis standing close to his left at the alter awaiting anxiously to get the show on the road.
But none could know his amount of nervousness he felt at the time. Not only would he be marrying forever, but he would be getting a child out of this. A child created out of love and not just any kind, their love. It was special to him.
Then she came, walking slowly in the arms of her father. And for a moment time stopped as he eyed her in her delicious wedding gown. The dress was an ivory color. Trimmed down to her feet and a 10-feet train that followed her. Her bouquet was finely furnished with ivory and yellow roses. Then there was one center red rose. The yellow had been a direct representation of their long friendship that led to their love, the center rose. And it would last through the ages, even if the rose didn't.
Finally making it up to him, her father spoke, "Now I know you'll take care of my princess. You've become like another son to me Shawn. And that goes for you too," he said pointing to the bride.
Once her father left he said in amazement, "You're the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. I'm glad that this day has finally came because now I can shout it out to the whole world how much I love you and our child"
She shuddered at the mention of their child, because when in fact it wasn't. And she couldn't bare another moment of hiding the truth from him, what type of wife would she be entering a marriage based of lies. About to speak up she was hushed when the preacher spoke.
"Today, we, as the friends and family of Shawn-Douglass Brady and Isabella Black are here to come pay honor to their love. And pay attribute as the walk down a new path in the days of their lives…."
The preached drained out to Belle and Shawn. Shawn was in his own world of happiness and Belle was getting nervous. She noticed the apprehensive looks on Philip's face. He was sure to say something. And Shawn wasn't a fool, he would notice Phillip's fidgeting actions in no time.
When all of a sudden it came time for the preacher to say, "If there is any man who sees why these two should not be adjoined, speak now, or forever hold your peace."
Philip couldn't hold it back any further, "Shawn, there's something I need to tell you. I mean I'm sorry for interrupting but I don't think I can carry this secret any further."
Shawn was confused and quite pissed that he had interrupted the ceremony said, "Look, I'm sure it can wait, okay? I won't to have a normal wedding to the woman I love. Is that possible?"
Belle silently placed her head down and let a tear fall. She was glad that she decided to wear a veil. Even if she was suppose to cry on her wedding day, those tears were suppose to be tears of joy not regret.
Philip looked Shawn straight in the eye, "Shawn you need to know this before you proceed. I'm not trying to destroy you, but I was hoping Belle would tell you before it got this far. It isn't right for us to have kept this secret from you so long. But we did because you were so happy and we didn't want to hurt you, Shawn. That's why we kept it so long."
Shawn was beginning to get worried and turned to Belle with tears in his eyes, "What secret Belle? I mean it isn't anything bad is it (smiling nervously)? What could be so serious that Philip here couldn't keep until after the wedding?"
Belle looked up to reveal her scared face. Crying harder she said, "The secret about the baby's paternity. And who's his actual father is…."
Shawn grabbed her hand for her to continue. Was she trying to tell him what he thought she trying to. No, it couldn't be. In order for that child to be anybody else's she would have had to cheated on him. Something he knew his perfect girl was not able to do. Or was she?
"This baby is not yours, Shawn" Belle whimpered out.
Shawn face became hurt not angered as he asked, "You cheated on me Belle? But why? For who?"
Belle looked to the best men that stood past Shawn's shoulder and sighed, "I'm sorry Shawn. Please forgive me."
Shawn saw where she was looking. He read her eyes and her glare fell to one person that completely shocked him. Him of all people, why? Why Belle? Was this the pain that all broken hearts sought after?
