Ch 2

Tavington gripped Anita's hand tightly as he frowned disapprovingly at Bordon.

" What was that? Bordon?" he asked trying to keep his cool.

"Sir, I object to this union." James replied cautiously.

Anita stood silently next to the colonel afraid he was going to do something violent. Her father stood up and glared at Captain Bordon.

" Captain Bordon, I thought I already denied you my daughter's hand. And yet you still pursue it!" General Sullivan snapped.

Bordon felt weak. It was one thing to object at a wedding, but your superior's wedding to the daughter of a general was out of the question.

" I stand firm in my beliefs, sir. I love your daughter and I won't stand here watching her marry a man that will not stay loyal to her." Bordon said.

Tavington glared at Bordon his hand near his sword. He knew Bordon was right; he wouldn't be loyal to Anita. Even if he were, she would be miserable.

" Perhaps we should ask the bride how she feels." Tavington stated.

Anita hated being under pressure; she glanced around nervously and looked up at Tavington. She could marry Bordon, live a happy life, though it would ruin his reputation or she could marry Tavington and live a perfectly miserable life and never see Bordon again. Her mother was inside very ill, the doctors had advised Anita not to disappoint her.

Her father had said any type of shock could kill her mother, who had truly been good to her only child. So taking a deep breath Anita made her heart-breaking decision.

" I will marry Colonel Tavington," she said tearfully.

Bordon looked up horrified that she would ever do such a thing. Anita couldn't bear to meet his eyes. She felt so ashamed forever giving him her heart, only to have to go and break his. The ceremony went on in silence. Anita and Tavington were now married. They walked up to the plantation house for the reception, that wouldn't be much more exciting from the ceremony
