RISE OF THE DRAGON HEIR: from amnesia to ascension

Chapter 9

The place was boxed with cars that were lined all around the place. The priest stood right before Victoria and Jack Sparrow took their vows..

Staring right into the eyes of the man that stood before her Victoria wanted to punk, her face grew red and puffy.

He felt like she was going to let out the tears that she had gathered in her eyes. But taking multiple sips of self control, she was able to control herself.

"You should smile for your husband at least!" Jack Sparrow noted revealing his golden tooth was again.

Victoria really wanted to throw up, returning his gesture with a thick frown.

'Like it or not, I'm going to have you for myself tonight!' Jack thought with his face beaming with smiles.

"If anyone has anything against this union. Speak now or forever hold your peace!" The priest was barely done with his words when a sudden yell came through the crowd.

Everyone's attention shifted towards the sudden intrusion. Lady Erica stood up from her seat with clenched hands immediately her gaze interlocked with that of Saint's.

"Isn't the bitch supposed to be screaming in hell already?" Her hands tightened further until they popped.

Saint stepped forward towards the priest with a new sense of authority unlike what anyone had seen before.

"She can't get married because she is already married and we are not divorced yet and never will be!" He added.

A cold sensation like a bucket of water coming running down from the sparrow 's head to his toe. He could swear that the car had hit the person before him

"How are you still alive?" He was taken aback in his steps, his face laced with the fright of a little baby like he had seen a ghost.

"If that's what you intended, then you have to do better!"

The crowd of prominent personalities that had gathered around the place had their faces brightening up with multiple sense of astonishment.

"Isn't that Saint? The previous husband of Victoria Zlate? I thought they announced that he was dead already?"

"Who said he's Victoria's husband? I heard that he is some stalker that had been bothering her all these while!"

"But the cert! It states she's married!"

"Even though they are! Just look at him compared to Jack Sparrow. He is just an ordinary man

How dare he try to cause commotion in such a wedding with a lot of nobles!" Added another man from the crowd.

The hall that once was silent was suddenly running with a lot of opinions from the crowd. Patricia's teeth gnashed against each other.

They were so close to what they had always wanted.

Saint's face returned to Victoria with a smile on her face.

She had thought that she had lost her husband. She was taken aback and her eyes suddenly brightened.

However, she paused, as Saint tried to touch her, returning back in her steps.

Saint's eyes darkened, confused by her sudden restraint.

"I'm back Victoria. Just as you have always wanted! This is the time that we celebrate right. Don't worry, I'm not a ghost and I have already made the perfect preparation... I got the place that you have all..." Victoria would not even allow him to finish brewing the words.

She stopped him raising her hands in the air. Tear pricked through her eyes forcing to come out with a full blown force

However with everything that she had in her she was able to control the force of it.

"I should have done this a long time ago, Saint. We can never be together. "

"They are forcing you to get a divorce right? But you don't..."

"Stop Saint. Nobody is forcing me, this is my decision and I am owing up to it. It should have been over between us a long time ago .

The both of us have never been cut out for each other and you knew it. We should separate Saint.

Our relationship is only going to harm the both of us. You should get someone for yourself. That won't draw too much attention. I believe that you will get the right woman out there but it's certainly not me!"

Saint was petrified. Each passing word through her lips stabbed right through his heart.

He closed his eyes, opening them again and hoping that this was all a dream. He never believed that Victoria would say such a word, but the reality before him was true.

Jack Sparrow beamed with smiles. He had finally gotten Victoria in his grip and was never going to let her go.

"You heard her Saint. You should leave this place right this moment!" He said..

A group of guards had already gathered around ready to throw Saint off from the place. However Saint won't move an inch from where he stood as his gaze grew intense.

"You are going to call a few untrained men if you intend to get me out of this place!" Saint returned a replied..

Jack scowled. The crowd remained stunned at the audacity of Saint.

"Maybe he enjoys the Netherlands and seems eager to return there!

At least we know that will be very quick. I heard that Jack's sparrow's guards are one of the best trained in the city!" Another one the crowd added.

"Saint doesn't even have a family name. He is nothing other than a lost cause!" The crowd threw their insults and blame at Saint who remained unfazed staring right into the eyes of Victoria.

Though she seemed calm on the outside, her heart quivered with fright. She wanted to run into the hands of Saint and hug him tightly.

However she had already made her decision and there was no going back for her now. Her breath remained stuck in her chest as she forced herself to mutter.

"Saint, you can't cause trouble here. You have to leave now!

"Not without you Victoria. We are legally married if you have forgotten!"

"You... Why do you have to be so stubborn!"

The guards advanced towards Saint, all four of them grabbing him on both hands but Saint easily threw them off, sending them flying off to the ground.

Everyone was stunned. It didn't even seem like he had put effort into that.

Their eyes bulged out from their sockets and shocks ran like cold waves down their spine.

"Oh is that possible?" Multiple gasp ran right through the hall.

"I thought that the Saint had always been a weakling! How was he able to deal with these men without even raising a finger!" Most members of the crowd were lost in their awe as the pictures played in their head.

"Saint deals with the guards of Jack Sparrow? What a jock! I can assure you that he is even scared of a dog!

There's a way he would have the upper hand even if they have their eyes closed. They were just taken off guard since nobody would have thought that the chicken Saint would dare to resist." Kevin who sat in the midst of the crowd scowled.

"Yes! That's what happened. They certainly misplaced their step and we saw wrong!" They affirmed.

Jack Sparrow kept on scowling, all the hair on his body standing out as he kicked the guard in their stomach making them groan in pain.

"What do you think I pay you for! To be defeated by such a weakling? Get on your feet and chase the dog out of this place. If you feel your life is still of any use to you!" He glared.

The guards stood up from their feets, their faces maddened with rage and sending shivers down the spine of Victoria even though she wasn't ready to show it.

She was afraid that Saint would not be able to take out the men. She had always known him to be a gentle lover and not a lover.

"Stop!" She yelled with shaky hands.

Everyone laid still in their stares, all attention focused on the bride of the event as Jack's face suddenly turned pitiful.

"I thought that it was your earnest wish that I get him out of the hall so that we will get to spend the most blissful night together!"

Victoria shifted her face so that nobody would see her expression that was concocted with disgust.

"Even though I want to get married to you! It's still a valid fact that I am still married to Saint Legally.

Until that marriage is broken, I will be breaking the law!" Added Victoria

"But the law is on our side Vic, especially when we are dealing with someone as pathetic as himself!"

"Law or no law, I still have my dignity jack! The wedding ceremony would be on hold! Saint, we will see in three days time at the family Villa

Until then, I don't want to have anything to do with you!"

Saint wanted to object. He could see in her eyes that she never wanted this. However she stopped him again.

"You said that you were going to do anything that I wanted right? On our wedding night! I don't want to see you Saint, until three days from now.

Now is a good time to make good use of your words!" He was suddenly stuck, unable to speak.

Nodding his head, he turned around to leave.

Victoria suddenly released a bright light from her chest as all the members of the family swarmed towards her.

"That fool! He dared to cause trouble here! I'm going to make sure that he regrets this?" Lady Erica was fuming with anger.

"Mom! I don't want anyone going after Saint. It's already over between us. No one should stretch this further than it should be!"

An exhausted Victoria wanted to leave the place when suddenly a Bugatti, the latest model stormed right into the arena.

Everyone was awestruck and even Jack Sparrow could not help it but get stuck in his stare.

A few men got out of the car, got off and walked over to Victoria with a smile on their faces.

They brought out a little box, made entirely of silver and handed it over to her.

"Congratulations man on your wedding ceremony. We are from doctor Vincent. Hope you put good words to your brother for us!"

Victoria was confused, this gift was worth more than ten million dollars. She wanted to ask more; however, the man was already gone.

Lady Erica quickly snatched the gift off from her hands and her face ran pale at the glow of the gem that was within it.

"Doctor Vincent!" Victoria muttered, still confused.

"It has to be Jack. He is the only one that came to know Doctor Vincent among all of us here!'

Even though most people had heard about the doctor, they didn't dare to claim that they had seen him.

"Is that true?" Victoria inquired.

Jack seemed to have been taken off guard but he quickly recomposed himself, posing an awkward smile.

"Do you have anyone else in mind?" The smile of his face broadened, even though he knew nothing about the gift.
