**The CEO Who Promised Me the World And Then Asked Me to Pay With My Soul by Caden Blake**
**Chapter 489: The Most Tragic Bride**
In the opulent wedding hall, an air of anticipation mingled with anxiety. Guests exchanged hushed whispers, their eyes darting toward the grand entrance, a mix of curiosity and concern evident on their faces.
“What is taking so long? Where are they?” murmured one guest, glancing at another, who shrugged in response.
Had the bride fled in panic? Or was the groom having second thoughts? Speculation swirled like a tempest, and soon, all eyes turned to Adelyn, the mother of the groom, who felt the weight of their scrutiny bearing down on her. Anxiety clawed at her insides. Henry was being utterly ridiculous! Aubrey would need to rein him in; he couldn’t be this spoiled.
Yet, in this moment of chaos, Adelyn knew she had to step up. With a steadying breath, she raised her voice, projecting calmness despite her inner turmoil. “Please, everyone, rest assured… the Alpha will definitely bring the Luna here on time for the wedding! There are only ten minutes left. Just a little patience, please…”
Her heart raced as she thought of her son finally marrying Aubrey. This was a day they had all been waiting for; he would never miss it! With that thought, a flicker of confidence returned to her, and she stood tall, waiting with bated breath. But as the minutes ticked away—ten minutes turned into five, then dwindled down to a mere two—her heart sank further. Henry was still nowhere to be seen!
The whispers escalated into a cacophony of frustration, and Adelyn felt her anger boiling over.
“I hate you! How am I supposed to get married like this? The veil is ruined! And we’re almost out of time!” Aubrey’s voice trembled, tears threatening to spill as she clutched her wedding dress, the once-beautiful veil in tatters.
In that moment, she appeared to be the most tragic bride imaginable. Was there even any point in going through with the ceremony under these circumstances?
Her thoughts spiraled, fueling her frustration. “You go by yourself! When the officiant calls my name, you answer for me. I refuse to take another step!” Aubrey declared, her face a mask of cold determination.
At that moment, Alpha Henry, with a mischievous glint in his eye, flashed a cunning smile. “Oh, that’s simple. Ready? Husband Number One is about to take off!”
Before Aubrey could protest, he scooped her up effortlessly and dashed toward the elevator, her startled cry echoing in the hall.
Aubrey froze, panic rising within her as she suddenly remembered her appearance: her lipstick had been smudged away, her hair bun had come undone, and she wasn’t even wearing her high heels!
“No! I can’t get married like this! If I walk in like this, I’ll be the laughingstock of everyone!” she exclaimed, her heart racing at the thought.
