In the end, she agreed to let them have a wedding to make the older members of the Bush family happy, but she was adamant that they not get a marriage licence.
Sammy attempted to get her to change her mind for a long time, but she wouldn’t. He then used force because he thought that a gentle approach wasn’t working. So, he dragged her into bed and “disciplined” her for a week.
Tonia got up and left happy after having fun. Still, she wouldn’t change her mind.
She even said before she left, “If you keep pushing me to get married, then we’re done here.”
Sammy had to give in and agree to her requirements.
The Bush family, on the other hand, took the wedding quite seriously. They planned a big event that was even more over-the-top than her first marriage to Raph. There were more than 20 different wedding attire.
Tonia was tired from changing into them one after the other. “Do we really have to do this? It’s such a pain.”
Sammy, on the other hand, was all smiles. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event,” he said calmly, “It has to be grand.”
She told him, “It’s my second time.”
Sammy was speechless and could only beg her in a very polite way.
Don’t let Tonia’s nice and kind look mislead you. Her way of thinking has altered a lot after what occurred with Raph. She was still nice, pleasant, and polite to other people, but there was a new strength and resolve below.
She would only say one thing if she was pushed too far: “I don’t agree. If you don’t like it, find someone else to marry you.”
Sammy would always give in in the end.
They went through the ceremonies one by one, and until it was time for the concluding event of the night, which was toasting each table.
Tonia had put on a dress that was off-white and showed off her slim, exquisite body. She appeared like a classic beauty from an ancient painting with her hair loosely curled and put back with a simple hairpin.
Sammy whispered in her ear as they walked around, “I’ll buy you more body-hugging gowns in the future.”
Tonia, who was a little drunk, gazed up at him with a sweet grin. “Do I look good?”
“Very,” he said in a low voice.
She added, “Three or four dresses in different styles should be enough.”
Sammy leaned in even closer and spoke in a low, taunting manner. “That’s not enough for me to rip.”
Tonia’s cheeks turned red when she softly smacked his arm.
Sammy’s heart ached with love and want as he watched her bashful face. He had trouble focussing on toasting their visitors. He would look at her when he could.
Lincoln led the way to the table where his coworkers were sitting. He mocked them, “Guys, we can’t let Sammy stay sober tonight! Come on! Drink up! Let’s make sure he’s completely wasted!”
The gang of young men was excited and crowded around, putting down the glasses and pouring spirits directly from the decanters instead. Everyone ran at Sammy.
Sammy let out a sigh of defeat.
In court, they were sometimes his most dangerous enemies. Sometimes they were friends who would drink with him and make jokes. He was quite close to all of them, so it was hard to say no.
But he had already made a toast with the elders earlier. He had already been to ten tables. He could still drink, but his liver was starting to feel the strain.
Lincoln stepped forward, smiling as he looked at Tonia. He made fun of Sammy by saying, “You’re a lucky guy! Look at you marrying such a young girl!”
Sammy didn’t even try to dispute it. He was five years older than Tonia. He couldn’t dispute with it; she had still been a little girl while he was already an adult.
He took the decanter that Lincoln gave him. It had four ounces of vodka in it, and Sammy drank it all in one go. Lincoln then looked at Tonia. “Ms. Casan, we are kind of related. Your maid of honour is my niece.”
Tonia nodded, but then she immediately stepped forward to stand in front of Jane to protect her.
She wouldn’t have thought twice about it in the past. But after finding out the truth about Lincoln and Jane, she didn’t know what to do. So, she kept acting courteous. “Hi.”
Lincoln laughed out loud. “Sammy is like a brother to me. Are you more like a sister-in-law, or should I think of you as my niece?”
Sammy got in between them. “Stick with niece.”
Lincoln laughed and clicked his tongue. “I’m like an uncle to you, too, if she’s like a niece to me.”
Sammy said, “It’s still better than sister-in-law.”
Most of the people in their tight group knew what had happened between Raph and Tonia. And Sammy had converted his cousin-in-law into his own wife, so the term was now a little bit forbidden for him.
Lincoln laughed. “Okay. You can call me ‘Uncle Lincoln’ from now on, just like Jane does.”
Tonia said, “I’ll just call you Mr. Scot.”
Lincoln looked at Sammy and saw that she didn’t want to talk about it, so he didn’t push the matter. He clinked his glass to hers and remarked, “That’s fine.”
Sammy wouldn’t let Tonia drink from the small glass of wine she was holding. He snatched it from her and drank it all. “I’ll drink for her. If you want to give someone drinks, give them to me. I’m here to drink as much as you want.”
“Good! That’s what we like to hear. Get some sleep, Tonia. Sammy won’t be sober enough for the main event tonight!” someone yelled.
