Chapter 11: The Dragon's Wife

Swarms of paparazzi, news reporters, and socialites filtered into the chapel to be seated. They buzzed with excitement, jealousy, and skepticism. Seto Kaiba stood beside the priest, his blue eyes cold and doing a spectacular job of averting the many faces. The priest fumbled with his Bible at the sight of the overwhelming crowd spilling out onto the sidewalk. T.V. cameras were set up around the church leaving no area unseen.

By the time Olivia arrived, the church was so full that people outside tuned into the live broadcast on their phones and iPads. Cameras flashed as Olivia stepped out of the limo. Her face was delicately hidden behind a sheer veil. Her gown glittered in the sun like thousands of stars, flowing behind her like water. The service went quiet as she entered. Organ music rumbled off the beams that announced her entry. All stood and turned to her, their faces in awe. Her chocolate locks were beautifully braided and coiled atop her head. Roses of red and white decorated the crafted plaits.

Seto was blindsided. He watched as she approached him, her gait was calm and regal. The hands that carried the bouquet of spring and summer flowers were set neatly in front of her. She stepped up to him and confidently winked beneath her veil. The CEO, much to his personal surprise, found it difficult to keep from staring at her. His eyes gorged on her dress and the multitude of diamonds and pearls. The gown fit her body wonderfully, emphasizing her shape.

The scent of the roses in her hair wafted over to him. For a moment, Seto Kaiba's heart pounded in his chest.

"We are gathered here today, to celebrate the joining of this man and this woman in holy matrimony-," The priest began her sermon and continued.

By the time he came to the exchanging of rings, he called Mokuba.

"Mr. Kaiba, please repeat after me. With this ring…,"

Seto took the slim band from Mokuba's pillow and took Olivia's hand in his. The CEO stared into Olivia's poos of gold and repeated in a voice that made her flush lightly.

"With this ring, I thee wed."

Deftly, his long fingers slid the band onto her ring finger. The blue diamond sparkling against it. He held her hand for a prolonged time. His cobalt eyes taking in what was happening. When Olivia finally slipped his ring on, her fingers were confident and sure.

"I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may kiss your bride."

The crowd waited on baited breath as Seto slowly leaned down to his new wife. Cameras readied and reporters tensed to jot down the soon to be famous scene. Olivia laughed inside as Seto got closer, his Gucci cologne enclosing her.

"Is the great Seto Kaiba really going to kiss me on national television? Isn't that going against some sort of rule for you?" She teased.

So, now the tell-tale kiss.

Seto smirked at her, his face incredibly close." Screw the rues. Seto Kaiba does what he pleases, whenever he pleases."

Never thought I'd be doing this, but…oh well. Olivia thought and angled her head to meet his.

The church was assaulted with the flickers and shutters of cameras and cheers, and applause. Seto's lips were perfectly placed upon hers. Their warmth and tenderness surprising the bride verily. Olivia felt his hands come around her back, pulling her closer to him. She was unable to figure out whether it was for show, like usual, or if it was a true kiss. But it did not matter. She decided that it was better to go along despite the reason and wrapped her arms around his neck. The CEO felt his heart expand. There was a part of him that had wished for this since the night of the Christmas party.

The CEO held his new bride to him as he continued their kiss. When he pulled away, Olivia's face was pink and amused.

"Succeed and Conquer."
