Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 488

Until Frederick left, he still hadn’t told Marguerite whether he would come to her rescue and take her away from the wedding she dreaded.

Marguerite was crushed with disappointment. She got up in a daze, ready to take off her wedding gown, and just then she caught sight of herself in the full-length mirror.

Her face was pale and her hair, was a tangled mess from the entanglement with Frederick who had left her in such turmoil.

But the gown was truly magnificent-a handcrafted vision of white, adorned with layers of diamonds and pearls, shimmering and captivating. Marguerite could tell; it was one of the wedding dress brands that every girl dreams of. Yet, at that moment, she felt an overwhelming loneliness. She was living a dream that many ordinary girls couldn’t fathom, but it was laced with sorrow because she wasn’t wearing this beautiful dress for the man she truly loved.

If it had been Frederick declaring his intentions to marry her instead of Maurice, she would’ve been blissful even in rags and tatters, without a fancy dress.

But reality was cruel and wouldn’t bend to her desires.

With a heavy sigh, she unzipped the side of the gown and let it fall away from her body.

Outside the villa.

Yuna had just returned from the hospital when everyone had retreated to their rooms for some rest. She was in a hurry to sort things out and without catching her breath, she rushed straight to Hayes’ bedroom.

At that moment, Hayes was leaning on his race car bed, engrossed in “The Matrix” on his tablet.
