Chapter 69 What happened?

The ceremony started and they were in front of a pastor who would give them the blessing for their wedding. Theo was holding Stella's hand, "I know this isn't necessary but I want to ask if someone will stop this union?" The pastor joked around, which made Stella look behind her. "No one will stop this wedding, don't worry!" Theo whispered at her when he noticed that Stella was uncomfortable. "I'm just checking!" Stella answered and smiled at him.
"Oh! I guess none. Let's proceed—
The pastor stopped talking when a lady started walking in the aisle. All eyes were on her, and she was carrying a little girl. "Who is that?" Stella asked while looking at the lady while Theo froze in his position. 
Theo let go of Stella's hand, which made Stella look at him. "Do you know her?" Stella asked him right away, "Who are you, lady?" The pastor asked the intruder.
"I'm Jessica and this is my daughter, Tracey!" The lady answered and looked at Stella. "You look so fine and you don't deserve someone like him." She added and pointed out Theo, "What are you talking about?" Stella asked Jessica right away. "Who are you?" Stella added and glared at Jessica.
"Don't listen to her!" Theo told Stella while he was looking at Jessica. "Why are you still denying it, huh?" Brandon stood up from his seat, "Stop, Brandon!" Alpha Raven immediately stopped his youngest son.
"No, Dad! Stella deserves to know the truth!" Brandon said and walked towards Jessica, "What truth?" Stella was confused at what was happening. "What is the truth?" Elder Remus was also mad at what was happening in the ceremony. "Calm down, Elder!" Alpha Raven told him and patted his shoulder.
"I can't do that, Alpha Raven!" Elder Remus said and stood up from his seat. "What is happening right now, Theo? Who is this intruder and has the guts to ruin your wedding?" Elder Remus blurted out and he was pissed off. "Don't call her that!" Theo immediately told him, which made them quiet.
Theo realised what he just said and looked at Stella, "So, you know her?" Stella asked him, and Theo was going to deny it when Brandon interrupted his brother.
"Jessica is my brother's wife and Tracey is their daughter." Brandon said and no one tried to talk. "Wait? Is that true, Theo?" Stella asked and tried not to freak out. Theo glared at his brother and took a deep breath, "How did you know about them?" Theo gave up and walked towards Brandon.
"What are you saying, Theo? You already have a family?" Alpha Raven asked his eldest son, "You hear me right, Dad!" Theo answered but was still looking at Brandon. "You can't hide everything, brother!" Brandon teased him and smirked at Theo. "Really?" Theo was challenging him when Alpha Raven went between them.
"Stop! You, go to your family and I don't want to see you here again!" Alpha Raven said while pointing out Theo, "And you, stay out of this problem!" He added while pointing out Brandon.
"This ceremony will end here!" Alpha Raven told them, and they decided to go home.
Elder Remus couldn't handle watching Stella crying silently while looking at Theo and his family walking away. "Dad!" Daisha appeared beside Elder Remus, "What have I done?" He said while feeling guilty towards Stella. "You don't know everything about them, Dad!" Daisha said while caressing her father's shoulder.
"But the trauma that I gave to your sister!" Elder Remus said while looking at Stella. 
Stella couldn't believe what she just witnessed and ran away. She reached the pond in the middle of woods and the only light she had was the full moon. 
"Where's Mommy?" Bryce asked his Aunt Flora while they were in the living room. "She's just resting!" Flora answered and tried to be brave for Bryce. "You should take a rest now, Bryce!" Tyros said and offered his hand to Bryce.
Daisha showed up at Stella's place and saw Flora in the living room, "She's still out there?" Daisha asked her right away. "I am so hurt for her!" Flora answered and wiped her tears. "Who wouldn't feel that way?" Daisha answered and they got emotional for Stella.
"First, it was Brandon then now, it's Theo!" Flora said while shaking her head in disbelief. "What funny is, Brandon discovered it all while getting the flowers that Stella wanted for her bouquet!" Daisha said, which made Flora amazed. "Really?" Flora asked her, and Daisha nodded her head.
It was almost four in the morning, Daisha and Flora were sleeping in the living room while waiting for Stella to come home. Stella opened the main door and saw them. She walked straight to her room and saw Bryce sleeping with Tyros.
Stella got some of her clothes and took a bath in the common bathroom. After taking a bath, she dries her hair using a clean towel. "Good to see you here!" Daisha showed up in the kitchen, "Where's Darrel?" Stella asked her sister.
"He's in our house." Daisha answered, and Stella just nodded her head. "Did you take a rest?" Daisha asked her once again, "Nope! I can't rest right now." Stella answered and got a bottle of water from the fridge. "Don't worry about Bryce, I will take care of him while I am here." Daisha offered some help to her, "Thank you!" Stella bluntly answered. 
Flora woke up when she heard Stella's voice in the kitchen. She immediately stood up and ran into Stella, "Oh my gosh!" She said and hugged Stella tightly. "I'm so sorry!" She added while hugging Stella. "I will stay in the living room." Daisha told them and gave them some time to spend with each other.
"Why are you crying like hell?" Stella asked her best friend, "Should I kill him?" Flora asked her, which made Stella smile at her. "He has a family so don't do that!" Stella answered and tried to cheer herself up.
Daisha decided to bring Bryce to their father's place, "My Mommy wants to be alone?" Bryce asked Daisha while they were on their way to Elder Remus' house. "Yes, she wants to be alone for now." Daisha answered and patted Bryce's head. "What happened to her?" Bryce asked Daisha again, "Just don't mind your mother for a while." Daisha smiled at him.
Flora was left with Stella in the house, "Do you want to eat something?" Flora asked her, and Stella declined her offer. "You should eat though!" Flora told her best friend, but she didn't get any response from Stella.
Flora tried to be patient towards Stella because she knew that Stella was suffering a heartbreak right now. "I can cook anything!" She said, which made Stella look at her.
"I am fine, Flora! You can go home!" Stella said, and Flora shook her head right away. "No, I will stay with you!" Flora answered, and Stella didn't say anything.
The dark came, and Stella decided to stay in her room. She was wiping her tears when someone knocked on the door, "Who is it?" She asked and stood up from the floor. She went to the door and opened it, "What are you doing here?" Stella asked her father right away.
"I want to apologise, Stella!" Elder Remus said, which made Stella stop. Stella was just looking at her father and took a deep breath, "Apologising for what?" Stella asked him. "I pushed you to them—
"Stop if you are just going to tell me about my supposed marriage." Stella told her father, and Elder Remus looked at his daughter seriously. "I'm really sorry for pushing you to get married to the wrong man." Elder Remus told her, "Really? You are sorry for what you have done to me?" Stella asked her father and started crying.
"You pushed me to someone who didn't like me and chose my sister over me. Then you pushed me again to someone who showed me that he likes but he will just use me." Stella told her father, and Elder Remus accepted her rage towards him. "I gave them my trust and effort but in the end, they broke me. For what? For this freaking family. You use me just like a thing to preserve the legacy of our family." Stella added and wiped her tears.
"I know I will hear that from you but I want you to know that it hurts me whenever I see you crying. You are still my child!" Elder Remus told her, and Stella immediately smirked at her father.
"Nah! Don't spill bullsh*t things here, Dad! You didn't care if it was me. You just care about Daisha! How about me, Dad?" Stella said, and Elder Remus tried to reach his daughter. "Stop! I am dying in pain right now, Dad!" Stella said and couldn't stop herself from crying.
Flora showed up, "Let's give her some time to think, Elder Remus." She told him. "Just call me if anything happens  here." Elder Remus told her, and Flora nodded her head.
