Chapter 6

Nobody noticed the fancy car roll in the church grounds. Nobody noticed the chauffer getting out and opening the door of the presumably rich gentleman who came out rather flustered with a shabby looking man trailing after him. No one even looked when they entered the doors of the church, simply because, they were rejoicing. The wedding has been done, the bride and the groom were now officially married. The guests watched as the groom kissed the bride and posed for pictures, no one noticed Caledon Hockley and the other man stand in the last pew of the church, his mouth open and his hand clutching
his cane tightly. Cal had to sit. The sight of Rose marrying someone not him or even Jack, the filthy man, was absurd. After all, it's only been how many months since the incident and she already got married to this man when she ever so riskily declared her love for the Jack boy.

Cal couldn't even fathom the idea. He imagined that man to be him, would Rose be just as happy, but wait. She didn't look happy. She was just playing the role of a good wife, he had seen that face countless times from her. Obviously, the man didn't know her quite well yet.

"Sir," the other man started. "What are you planning to do? I mean, it's getting late and I think Sara's expecting you?"
"Let her wait, then. That's her duty isn't it?"
"Sir, what are you planning to do? I found her and I brought you here but she's already married, you're already married, can't we just go and you know? You pay me and I'll live happily, you will too and she will."

Cal stepped on the man's toe. The man groaned. "If you want to leave then leave. Here," he shoved an envelope of money in the man's dirty hands. "Dont call me. I'll call you when I need you." The man left, most of the guests did too. The ceremony was done. Cal saw Rose excuse herself and proceeded to the restroom at the left side of the area.

"I'll go with you, dear." Someone said.
"No, no, it's fine, stay with Johnny. I'll be really quick." Cal heard her answer. So the man was Johnny. Cal followed Rose steathily, quietly. When he was sure no one was around, he grabbed Rose who was just turning around the corner and covered her mouth. Rose's eyes bulged and her hands started flapping. She cooled down and Cal removed his hand, holding onto her arms

"How did you find me?" She breathed.
"I told you once I get what I want, Rose. How are you?"
"Shut up, Cal. You're married, I read it in the papers. I'm married as well so can you please just forget you even saw me today?"
"Rose," He said. "Dont you even want to know what happened to your mother? Is that what Jack told you to do? Forget? Forget about your mother, about everything, about him? Where is he anyway?" He faked, looking around. He knew he was long gone of course, the investigator said so.

"He's gone," she answered unaware of his prior knowledge, holding back her tears. "What happened to my mother?" She tried to change the subject.
"She's a seamstress now. Working for Molly Brown, she lost everything, her wealth, her status, her name and her daughter and it all was because of you."
"Stop it Cal. People are looking for me, I have to go." Her voice weakened.
"Wait."
"What?" She glowered.
"Please Rose. Please. Let's talk."
"No, Cal."
"Rose. I promise I won't tell anyone I know you're alive just, please."
She found herself nodding, saying, "Fine then, the beach next week the same time, go home to what's her name again? Oh, Sara. Sara Hockley." She moved quickly inside the church, her husband brightened as he saw her and Cal couldn't help feeling a little bit of jealousy as the man tipped Rose and kissed her again.
