I married my sister's husband

"If there is anybody here who objects to this wedding, you speak now or forever hold your peace." The priest announced.

The place was silent for a while. Jordan and I turned to face the crowd. I went to a wedding some months back. It was my co-worker's wedding. The bride fainted when she saw a hand up. The man was just trying to stretch. I was hoping no one would ruin my wedding. Knowingly or unknowingly. But I was wrong.

"I object!" It was my sister's voice, Penelope. I froze for a moment. Not like I was surprised. I expected something like this to happen anyway. But I didn't expect it to come in this manner.

Today is my wedding. It was supposed to be my sister's, Penelope. But it is mine now. Most people expected to see her. They were shocked when they saw me. Most especially, those who knew me and my family. Lovely twist. I knew it was a risk. But life itself is risky. I wondered if Penelope was going to win again by destroying my wedding.

Regret and disappointment were written all over his face. He looked at me with a straight face. I'm sure he was thinking, "Why would Laura do something like this?" Thinking I would feel bad for it. For what I did. For getting married to my sister's husband. I was happy that I disappointed him. I smiled at him to show him my happiness.

Penelope freed her hands from him and began to shout. I didn't even know her voice could be that loud.

"She stole him from me! They're lying. They're not in love! It's my wedding! She's a thief, arrest her!".

My husband turned to look at me. He bowed his head and sighed. I was speechless. I know Penelope is a crazy one but I didn't expect her to lash out like this. Embarrassing herself in public and making a mess of my wedding!

Soon, she started being violent. I was certain she was on drugs. She started scattering the
