As we were reaching the back of the garden. We decided that we needed to head back so I could finish getting ready. Just then we heard a man talking.

"Damon, lets head back, I don't wanna intrude in this men's..." I was cut short when I noticed that it was Klaus's voice. "Sorry, I mean Klaus's conversation."

Damon nodded and we turned around. We took one step but then I felt Damon tense up and stop dead in his track. I turned to look at his face and noticed him indicating me with his finger to be quiet and listen. I was going to protest until what Klaus said caught my attention.

"Sweetheart" (Sweetheart! what the hell?!)

"We have had this conversation multiple times already. I am doing this for us, not for me alone."

-Pause, someone speaking on the other line-

"I know, I know, it hurts me too! You know that I wish that it was you I was marrying in a couple of minutes, but this is what has to be done."

(At this point I was frozen in place. This can't be, I'm either asleep and I am having a nightmare or I am hallucinating but this can't be true!)

"Just remember Katherine, one year, its just one year that I will be married to that hermit. Then I will be a member of the directors of the hospital that is divorced and with a great fortune for us!"

(Katherine, the girl he told me he tutored for the brothers and sisters foundation? Hermit? A year? Fortune? For them? What in the world is going on here!)

By the time I came to my senses I was right in front of him, everyone else in the world forgotten, the wedding not even in the vicinity of things that I would be thinking about at that moment.

"You son of a …." As I was going to hit him I felt a pair of strong arms grip me from behind, stopping me from assaulting that ass.

"Let go of me Damon!" I told him, teeth clenched while trying to get free.

"He's not worth it Elena, you'll give him what he wants if you do that." He told me and let me go as I stopped fighting him.

"I'm fine. You're right Damon." I turned around to face Klaus who had ended his call and was looking at me with a horrid look. Yep he knows that I know about his slimy trick!

"You are the worst man I have ever known, and that is a lot to say because I work cases that have to do with some very bad criminals. But with all honesty, none are as bad as you. And don't get me started on that Katherine woman. You really had the face to present me as your fianceé to your girlfriend! That is low, even for a criminal. Oh and just so you know, even if we were going to divorce in a year, you would have gotten not even a cent of my money." I told him as I felt the anger rising in me again.

"You being a lawyer should know that when there is a divorce, after a marriage of one year minimum the money that the pair owns is divided in half. I would come out as if having nothing because all my money goes to an account in Katherine's name so I don't have a penny to my name but I would get half of your fortune." He said with a stupid grin on his face. What I would have given to wipe it off with a punch!

"Well, as you have pointed out, I too did the same." He looked at me confused, as did Damon.

"Well if you must know, about a month ago, I transferred all of my money and my company to Damon, without him knowing it. That meant that if there ever was something gone awry between us, you would have gotten zero dollars from me, since I also don't have a penny to my name." I told him while laughing at the face of pure horror that he had on.

"Yes, since you evaded the prenup arrangement, I decided to take care of matters in another way. You really didn't think I was that stupid, did you? I wouldn't be running Mystic Falls' best law firm if I was." I laughed as I went to stand by Damon and loop my arm through his.

"I have to thank my brother here for being more opened minded than I was. He was the one that was perceptive and noticed that something wasn't quite right with you and let me know. Because of that I had the idea of giving him everything I own. So in reality, if you want any kind of money you would have to marry him and not me. And I don't really think that you are his type, right Damon?" By this time I could see that Damon was trying to hide his laughter behind an apparent cough fit.

"You are right Elena, he is too backstabbing for my liking, besides I am a female only kind of guy." We were laughing at how mad Klaus was getting! Well good, although I do believe that I should be the one that is mad, I was the one that has been betrayed not him.

"Oh just in case you hadn't gotten the message yet, the wedding is off and I don't want to see you near me or anyone I know ever again, do you understand me? Remember that I have a lot of connections and that I can get a restraining order that will obligate you to go back to England or even go to the south pole!" With that I pulled Damon and we started our way back.

After we were away from the scene of deception, Damon cleared his throat and told me:

"Um... Elena, your room is the other way."

"I know" I told him "but I rather deal with the guests sooner rather than later, you know, get this out of the way."

"Ok, but are you sure you are on the right mind to do so? You just went through a very hard experience just a minute ago." He pulled me to a stop and forced me to face him.

"Damon, I know myself, you know me and we both know that I should do this while I feel strong and confident because when I assimilate all of this later I will have a meltdown and I will for sure not be in the right mind to do this." I told him.

"Elena, let me do this for you, you have been through enough to now have to face all the guests with this." He told me with a very concerned look on his face.

"Damon, this is my responsibility and I will be able to face the guests, don't worry. Besides I have you as backup if anything goes awry." He laughed.

"Yeah big brother always here to come to the rescue. I just might need a minute or two to get my superman cape on to be able to fly away with you."

We laughed and joked until we got to the area where the guests were already seated and waiting for the ceremony to begin.

"Here goes nothing." I told Damon as I took a deep breath and, still in my robe, went to the altar and faced the guests.

-MET-

Got you scared for a moment, didn't I? I hope that I have made you happy with the hope for our beloved couple. you agree?
