Chapter 111: Best Man

They frequently look at each other then their mouth takes a shape of smile. Their love and affection is visible on the surface. Anyone can tell by one glance.

It's so hard to believe that a playboy like Luke got married for love. It was something that not even his own father would imagine. Love can truly change people.

I don't know why but I feel so pleased to see them smiling.

I always thought that Luke was such a irresponsible guy who would never act like a proper man. He was a spoiled brat. He had no spark of decency.

But he was with me from the very beginning. My arrogance and rude behaviour never stopped him from befriending me.

" We were not thinking about having a proper ceremony but my dad got furious. Since I'm his only daughter, he wanted to throw a grand wedding for me. I had to agree." It's obvious that Regina's dad won't let it slide away. His only daughter got married without any lavish wedding.

How can that be?

I'm surprised that he actually decided to accept Luke as his son-in-law. Maybe he's happy that his daughter finally got married.

Regina has been stuck with the company for a long time. She was a workaholic like me. Regina's dad was always worried about his daughter.

His daughter was an ambitious woman, a hard working woman who was focused with the growth of their company. She has a successful career.

Yet she lacked happiness. Her life was bland. Regina was a loner like me. She doesn't have any good friends except her colleagues or some acquaintances.

" Of course you deserve a grand wedding. I'm dying to see you in a wedding dress." Stella said. Now I know why Regina likes Stella so much. She was the only person who ever understood the true nature of Regina.

" And you'll be my maid of honour."

" Thanks, although I knew it from the beginning." Stella winks at Regina then they laughs joyously.

The girls can efficiently carry on their conversation. Yet I gotta struggle with my dumbass friend.

" Theo will be my best man." Luke stated confidently.

" No thanks, I'll pass." I flatly rejected him. The smile from his face dropped.

" What the hell man!" I know that he will ask me for this. I'm gonna do it anyway but he gotta beg me some more. Honestly in my wedding, he wasn't really doing any proper job by being my best man.

He left me alone to hook up with some girls. It's better if I don't bring up that stuff. Regina is here with us.

The food have been served. We chatted about lots of things. The atmosphere was very delightful. It's been a long time since I had such heartwarming gathering with my two dear friends.

" It may be little weird to bring this up now but I'm kinda relieved. There was a part of me that thought I was responsible for separating you two.

But you found your soulmate and it's all clear by your smile. I always prayed the best for you Regina. You are my dear friend. I'm happy to see you glowing."

Stella's eyes were gently gleaming with elation. It was as if her warm smile holds the hidden malice of past.

" Don't blame yourself Stella." Stretching out her arm, Regina hold her hand.

" On the contrary you saved both of our lives. You made me realised what it means to be loved. Our relationship was just so mechanical. It was lifeless and functional. I can say this proudly that I never loved Theo. It was only my infatuation with my own reflection."

" I agree too. The reason why we were able to drag our relationship for two years, was our personality and preferences. Yet I couldn't decide if I really want to marry her or not.

Even if you never came into our lives, we would have ended up going on separate paths. I mean staying together and loving someone is two different things.

I'm sure that if I had met Stella before our marriage I would definitely fall in love. Because she was meant to be with me." I honestly had no idea that Stella still have some lingering thoughts about my relationship with Regina.

Of course it's obvious for her to think like that. After everything turned out so suddenly and unexpectedly. I don't blame her.

" You literally fixed our lives. Sometimes breakups are good for you. It doesn't have to be hurtful or regrettable. I'm glad that I met Theo and we shared a past. Although we couldn't share our hearts. It is same for both of us. Not for once I blamed you so, don't feel guilty. I care about you more than anyone."

" What the hell? More than me?" Luke yells out like a pitiful child.

" Of course! Sisters before misters." Both the girls grabs each other hand into a fist.

" Yeah whatever. I also got Theo, right? Bros before hoes." I smacked his head to put some senses into his empty brain.

" You idiot! You're not supposed to call your wife hoe. Jesus Christ!" I scolded him. The girls laughed and enjoyed the clown's performance who was sitting opposite me.

The rest of the dinner continued. We finished the our food and it was time for us to leave. We were standing outside the washroom waiting for our ladies.

" Hey Theo."

" What?"

" You will be my best man, right?"

" Ugh! Of course you dumbass. You don't even have to ask. I'll do it anyway."

" You don't hate me, right?" Luke's eyes went round.

" I don't hate you buddy. You're my best pal." Love and affection glowed in his eyes which felt kinda creepy. He was looking at me like a puppy.

" It's kinda surprising that you didn't throw a fit at me. You were very calm and understanding."

" Listen Luke, I know you irritate me a lot. You often get on my nerve, make me waste my money on stupid things and cause me pain in the ȧss. But I truly care about you. Don't mess it up. Okay? I'm not gonna buy a wedding gift for the second time." With a devilish smirk, I replied.

" Do you have to say it in a negative way? Jeez!" Luke huffed angrily.

" By the way, you owe me a bachelor party."

" Huh! I haven't forgotten. But no strippers." Wait a minute, I'm the one who should be saying this.

" You bastard! Do I look like I want strippers ? I'm a married man who's devoted to his wife." Grabbing onto his shoulder I shook it roughly.

" I'm gonna throw an amazing party."

" Don't do anything stupid." My eyes rolled up as I grumbled like a dark cloud.

It's true that everyone needs a person, a friend who can help them shine out in the darkness.

Maybe my life would have been bland and tasteless if I haven't met Luke.

So, I've read many stories where ex becomes toxic. That's why I created Regina. Really guy, breakup's aren't bad always. It means leaving your past & starting a new life. Don't linger to your past. Let it go. Take your time. Heal. Enjoy the life. Find someone who truly cares for you.

Everyone thought that Theo mistreated Regina but that's how their relationship was. Regina did the same. They were both not satisfied. I hope u guys got a better idea now. In Stella's pov you'll have extra info in this topic as well. Until then, wait.
