Needa's walk down the aisle brought tears down the faces of many people as it was a joyous moment. She had decided to walk solo since she had no family of her own.The vows were said and everyone was ushered to the reception where there was a lot of drinking dancing and eating too. "I love parties" Jeanne said as they sat at their table. The bridesmaid had been given their own table together with the groomsmen, Andrew and Joshua. They had to sit together."Same here" Anette said taking her cup to her mouth.Joshua kept glancing at Aletta as he could not keep her eyes off her. She gave him questioning looks but he shrugged off with a shoulder shrug each time. she was afraid that someone would see him and suspect them."Excuse me, I want to use the ladies and make a quick call" Aletta lied.She did not want to do any of those things but she wanted to peel the lingering gaze of Joshua off from her. She cleared her throat and pushed herself off the chair. she walked to the back of the ha
"There you are what took you so long?" Joshua whispered to Aletta as she walked to their newfound hiding spot."I was at the ladies" she said going to stand beside him." And I did not want anyone to catch us so I came a little later" she added and he nodded."You seem very knowledgeable about hiding to date" he said and her head whipped to him in confusion."What do you mean?" she asked folding her hands across her chest."I mean that you always know what to do to ensure we aren't caught. it's like you have had experience before" "You know what? Now that you mention it I remember that I have experienced such a thing before" she said with a smirk."What?" he stuttered confused."I think it was my first love," she said fondly as if she was reminiscing about it. "What was his name?" she asked stroking her chin."Aletta" he stuttered again and she gained more confidence to tease him."Yeah his name was Sebastian, we had to play hide and seek while we dated. I mean we were high school stu
Aletta tried to match his step but she decided against it as he was fast and not even looking back. If she were to tell the tales of all the sweet things he had done no one would believe her.Now that she thought about it he had never been so difficult to work with in the past aside from the fact that he was a perfectionist and she was also a perfectionist so she did not see anything wrong there.If she asked most girls she was sure that they would be unable to say why they all referred to him as a rude and domineering bachelor. Most of them never met him before and he was quite the opposite of everything they said.He was a true gentleman and seeing him now she was sure that those people just labelled him because of his status in society. Aletta somehow made it just in time for the bouquet throwing and Jeanne hurried to drag her to the front."Ensure you get the bouquet" she whispered to her ears."Why?" Aletta asked with a shocked expression. She never expressed the intent to marry
"Catch that flower okay? I will tell Needa to throw it in your direction" Jeanne said squeezing the hands of Aletta before she walked away.She was not sure if marriage was in the books for her. She had been sure before but with the turn of events, she did not know anymore. At least she was still dating him so there was no way she would allow Anette to propose to him just yet. He could have her chance if they broke up."The bride would throw the bouquet now," the MC said and everyone in the hall cheered.Maybe this was one of the perks and fun parts about coming to a wedding. All the young ladies lined up behind the bride as they were directed by the ushers. Needa threw a wink and a small smile to Aletta and she knew that Jeanne had helped to alert Needa of the bouquet.Anette saw the interaction and quickly knew that they were trying their best to transfer the bouquet between each other. she had noticed that Needa had seemed closer to Jeanne and Aletta all week long. She did not car
"Why is this such a big of a deal?" Xavier asked folding his hand across his chest as he accessed the people sitting with him in the room."Needa is supposed to be closer to Anette. How could she throw Aletta the bouquet instead?" Leslie added.Xavier wondered why they had to gather together to discuss that matter. The newlyweds had made their way to their honeymoon destinations so why was it such a big deal who got the flowers?"My little girl is sad now" Leslie said causing everyone to have compassion on the girl. The youngsters were yet to come back as they were still having a nice time at the venue but Anette had made sure to convey her displeasure about the situation to her mom."Why exactly is this such a big deal" Burke asked. He loved his children but he never understood why Leslie spoiled them so much.Needa did not hand the bouquet to Aletta. She threw it and the girl happened to catch it so they all did not understand what was so special about catching a bouquet. "It's jus
"Why would she say that?" Joshua repeated. Standing behind and beside him were Aletta, Anette, Andrew and Jeanne.Anette felt second-hand embarrassment as she wanted the ground to swallow her whole right there and then. She had asked her mom to convince them so she could have Joshua to herself."Mom!!!" Anette screamed stomping her feet to the ground. "When did I say that?" she asked in a scream. She did not want to be seen as someone dubious in the eyes of the people sitting there."Honey" Leslie said shocked at the reaction from her daughter. She was trying to help her out so why was she overreacting? "I only said I don't think it's serious," Anette said. She knew that her mom was on her side there was no way she could ditch her entirely."Yes, that's what I said," Leslie said in swift response."I just want to let you know that I am in a relationship and it is a serious relationship at that" he told them his jaw tense."You might be in a serious relationship now but that does not
"Get yourself together," Brain said before walking away. He shook his head as he thought of the stunt that his wife and daughter just pulled. He could barely recognize Leslie again after she had begun to raise the twins. She always went out of her way to get things done for them.It was the same way when Anette wanted to go abroad for the first time. she had ridden on the wings of the Delgado and it seemed like she wanted to keep riding them as much as she could.Brian blamed himself. He should have been wiser at that time and stopped her when she was still young. He should not have joined Leslie to make everything so easy for them. He did not know that she would end up as such a brat. Why should Joshua be mandated to marry her? He has his own choices too. Their access to the Delgado was only because of the benefit of the family. He would have naturally been unable to get such access like this."Why did you do that?" Leslie asked shocked her daughter allowed the matter to die down. "
Jeanne paced around the room stubbing her toes and slamming her fist anywhere she could find to do so. She was pissed and Aletta could see that she was pissed."What does she think she is? The queen? Why would Joshua leave his relationship to be with her?" Aletta asked fuming."Calm down or you'll give yourself a heart attack" Aletta said.Jeanne glanced at her. She did not understand why she was so calm when they had tried to claim her boyfriend as a husband just a moment ago."Why are you telling me to calm down? I don't understand how you are calm about the situation" Jeanne said in a cry. "I am sure they only said it because they don't know who the girlfriend is," Aletta said. She wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. They may act that way because of ignorance."Does it matter if they know the girlfriend or not?" Jeanne murmured. "Anyways," she said suddenly in a loud voice. "This is not about the girlfriend but the fact that both of them want to force their way into our
