Perfect wedding (2)
'Almost,' Simon thought, looking down at Kate who could not hide her excitement. So perfect yet so naive. The moment they say I do, she would be his forever. The perfect woman to play any role. She prepared herself for this very moment well.
The moment Kate would change from Kate Barrett to Kate Farley, he would cut the annoying hold her mother had on her. Katrina was just as interesting as her daughter but he was not ready for her yet. Simon had a plan for Katrina, but first, he wanted to hurt her by taking away the daughter she loved.
"Do you Kate, take Simon to be your husband…"
Simon drowned out the annoying voice of the priest given the job of wedding him. He remembered the priest's name to be Peter. Duke Collins would often visit this priest for unknown reasons. Simon found the priest to be annoying for some reason. Why was Edgar using this priest? He certainly was not going to the priest to be prayed for.
