The Royal Contract

Chapter 340 - A Different Kind Of Makeover

"Wow! This time you look like a princess." Jacky excitedly giggled when she went out of the changing room to look at her friend.

Dani walked to the small stage where three huge mirrors stood around it. Jacky could see how lovely she was in her beautiful white gown. The only missing now was the veil.

"It is not yet done since we are still going to add up a few more details." Abby, the designer, explained to both of them. But she could already see her creation coming to life.

She could not wait to see it completed, worn by one of the most beautiful women in the world, as she walked down the aisle to meet the man of her dreams.

She had done a lot of gowns for different celebrities, wealthy and famous personalities, but she could tell that this would be one of her finest works.

"You also look stunning. You are a perfect maid of honor." Dani checked out her friend, who also tried out the dress she was going to wear.

She looked at them together as they stood in front of the large mirror, enjoying their reflections. She wondered who she would be taking as her date for her wedding.

She certainly would like to see her friend happy with someone, who she could share her life. She witnessed her ups and downs as she went in search of the right one.

"Both of you are beautiful." Abby interrupted them as she and her assistants worked on finding faults in the dress to correct them. "But you are not making my job very easy." She complained as she stuck some needles in the dress to make some adjustments.

It was not easy to make a gown as exquisite as this. Abby knew that it would be one of her masterpieces. The entire world would be criticizing every detail of her work.

But that was not the only problem. The couple had decided to move the wedding to an earlier date. Now, the new schedule had messed up with the timetable.

"You have to forgive my friend. She could not wait to get married to her prince." Jacky winked at Abby, teasing her friend.

Just like everyone else, she was also confused about the reason for the rush. She also wondered why they suddenly changed the date to an earlier date.

"Why should we wait? When we already know what we want," Dani responded, smiling dreamily at her reflection.

She could almost imagine her wedding with him waiting at the other end of the aisle. She slowly walked towards him, with her gown flowing beautifully around her body.

It gently swayed as she moved gracefully, with its long lace sliding smoothly on the floor. Her eyes focused only on the man, who she would be sharing the rest of her life.

"That is my girl. Finally, she knows what she wants and gets it." Jacky proudly announced inside the room, making all of them look at her and smile.

She liked the changes that were happening to her friend. Dani was becoming bolder about love. She could also sense that Dani was genuinely happy with her relationship with Alex.

She supported that marrying Alex was the best decision she ever made. It might have started as a lie, but they managed to make it real. It was one love affair that she could not wait to tell the world.

"Thanks to you. If not for all your support and encouragement, I might never have given Alex a chance." Dani still could remember how many times she rejected Alex\'s advances.

She never wanted anything to do with him. She avoided him like he was a plague. Luckily, Jacky had convinced her to take a risk, giving him a chance.

Now, she could not conceive a life without him. She could only see a future with him on it. She could even imagine the kids that they will have in the future.

"It was nothing. Just make sure that you will make me a godmother to your firstborn." Jacky turned to her and held her hands tightly. "Are you sure that you are not pregnant?" She looked at her suspiciously.

It was a possible explanation for the hasty wedding. Although, presently, having a baby was not reason enough to get married, Jacky believed that Alex was conservative in his tradition.

He might be insisting on tying the knots before the baby was born. She knew it was a farfetched idea, but who could blame her rich imagination.

"Where did you even get that idea? I am not pregnant. We only want to be married as soon as possible. That is all." She reiterated her reason, correcting her friend\'s wild conclusion.

Although she could not blame her friend for coming up with that idea, she did feel like everything about their relationship was happening so fast.

On the other hand, she was not complaining because she wanted it as much as Alex wanted to get married soon. She could not wait to be his wife and for him to be her husband.

"Just saying." Jacky waved her hands in the air in surrender. "Anyway, I am happy either way." She continued as they started walking back to the changing room to return the dress for its finishing touches.

After a few more minutes, they were saying goodbye to Abby. The designer assured them that everything would be ready before the wedding. She would work night and day if she had to finish the job.

"Where to next?" Dani asked her friend as she took control of the car once again.

She looked at her friend, trying to see what she could read on her face. But she only smiled without saying a word, concentrating on the road ahead.

Then, they stopped in one exclusive boutique that Jacky loved so much. They always shopped at this place but always ended up on the opposite side of the room.

"Why are we here?" Dani walked inside, following her friend who was taking the lead.

"I am buying you the things you will need for your honeymoon." Jacky quipped with a wicked smile.. She was about to give her a different kind of makeover.
