I’ll have to resign tomorrow.” Raul continued. “There really is no time to waste anymore.”
“I understand but you are not ready to face the priest yet and for that, I have something to tell you,” Tom added.
Coleen and Betty threw each other a weird look and then followed Tom to the garage. There they saw a man in an exquisite suit backing them. They stood a few meters away from him while Tom approached him and called him. the man turned and it was the governor.
The governor smiled at them and especially at Raul who was shocked to see him. He stretched a hand at Raul for a handshake and Raul shook his hands briskly.
“It’s a pleasure, Raul. We meet again.” He smiled at him.
Raul nodded, all smiles and waiting to hear from Tom what was going on.
The governor waved at Betty who smiled at him. she was thinking of what she could tell them to be excused. Then she suddenly thought of something and
Raul successfully resigned from his job and was pursuing his destiny to conquer the mainlands and take on the title of the Prince of the Night after defeating the priest. He started visiting the governor regularly to pave a way for him to meet the mayor of Wizzletown to discuss his plans and probably also seize the opportunity to see Hayley again.Raul had been finding it difficult to sleep at night since he was reminded of Hayley’s wedding to Stan coming soon. He thought of ways to stop the wedding because he could not bear the thought of losing her to another man let alone a human. He was in bed when the governor called his phone for an urgent meeting. He set out of the house immediately to the governor’s office and was surprised to find Virgil and Ella there.He knew that something was not right and his heart began racing. The look on both their faces was discouraging. He felt like burying himself because he could not bear any more betrayals fro
Betty stood in front of Ella’s house for the second time to see her. She knocked and knocked and this time, Ella responded and opened the door. Betty had been trying to get through to Ella for days since their last encounter after the night of the Wedding anniversary of Tom and Heather. Ella had complained of Betty standing her up to be with Raul and accused her of cheating. Since then, she kept away from Betty and focused on other matters. So, Betty had been coming to apologize but Ella had refused to let her but on this day, she decided to hear her out.Betty entered the house and sat on the couch next to her. Ella was silent. She sat on the couch, holding the Tv remote and watching a show on television like nobody was there with her.Then Betty began after long moments of silence; carefully choosing her words. “Hi Ella!” she paused to see Ella’s reaction but she did not react. She just continued with her show like no one was tal
It was the day of the wedding and Hayley seemed like she was neutral about it. Every other person seemed to be more excited than she was. She was getting dressed in her room with the help of the maids that her elder sister had gotten her in preparation for the wedding.“You look so beautiful, ma’am. The most beautiful of all brides. Mr. Stan is a really lucky man to be marrying a woman like you.” A young maid confessed with admiration in her eyes. The other maids just watched with smiling faces and murmured among themselves. Hayley could see them through the huge mirror on the wall she stood in front of. She could see the sincerity in the eyes of the young maid and this made her tear up a little.“Oh what’s wrong, ma’am?” the young maid asked on seeing Hayley tearing up. “You’ll ruin your makeup.” The maid was worried. The others watched in surprise as Hayley reached for a tissue to wipe her tears.
Raul slowly approached Hayley who was practically shaking in confusion and said, “It’s the truth, babe. I love you; I can’t control myself when I’m around you. Don’t you feel it too?” he paused and took her hands in his and pleaded. “Please don’t marry Stan. Marry me.”At this, Hayley’s eyes were wide open in shock. She never saw Raul as the type to want to be married someday for his lack of commitment in any relationship attitude. She stuttered. “You want me to marry you?”Raul went down on his knees and nodded. “I realize now that you’re the one for me. I’ve always had this odd feeling inside of me whenever I am far from you, but now I know that it’s love and I can’t wait to be the one you chose for a life partner. I chose you, Hayley for my mate. So, please be mine.”Hayley was still trying to pull herself together and think of a suitable re
Stan’s friends hesitated for a bit but then thought that it might be a good idea to let him be for a little while; to cry and let it out before they would have the chance to talk to him. So, they left him and went to meet the women who waited in anxiety.“He’ll be fine. He just needs time to get over all this.” One of his friends said with a sad look on his face.“Alright then.” The mayor began. “I’ll come to check up on him tomorrow.”“Yes ma’am. Thank you for bringing him in.” Stan’s friend appreciated her.“It’s no problem at all.” She replied. “So, take care of him and don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything.” She reached for her purse to get her card which she gave to him.He took it and smiled at the mayor. “I definitely will, ma’am.”She nodded in agreement and left.“I definitely will
Kara was silent. She knew it was a waste of time trying to convince Hayley so she exhaled and got on her feet.“If you have decided to stay then, I have nothing else to do here.”“Sister please…” Hayley ran to her. “Don’t hate me for this. I know that you and Raul don’t see eye to eye. I am sure that when you get to know him, you’ll find that he’s not a bad guy. He’s has a good heart and he really loves me which is why I have chosen to be with him. Please support my choice and trust my instincts.” She took her sister’s hands in hers and was suddenly taken aback.She gasped at what she saw. She saw her sister dying in a war and she could not stop it. She also saw the governor in his werewolf form and they were all fighting on Lucas's side with both Lucas and Collen leading the packs.She soon came alive to find Collen calling her.“Hey, babe! Are you alright?&
Raul was kissing her so passionately and Kara was filled with joy on seeing them. His friends also surrounded them to celebrate with them. The witch took her staff and made to leave when Kara approached her and offered her a check she just wrote.“Please take this as compensation for your hard work I am most grateful to you.”“Oh don’t worry about it. I don’t work for pay.” The witch replied. “You on the other hand, and I need to talk.”Kara gazed at her speechless. She wondered why the witch wanted to see her.“It’s important and it concerns your death; the one Hayley saw that has cost her this much pain.” The witch winked at her. “You know where to find me so see you soon.” She concluded and disappeared.Kara exhaled and turned to face the excited young ones. She smiled as her sister hugged her. she caressed her face and kissed her on the forehead. “I’
Ella got on her feet on seeing betty and Stan come out of the room together. She smiled in excitement at the duo feeling much better. She saw the look on Betty’s face and wondered if she had spilled the secret or not.“We’ll be leaving now,” Betty said to Ella who nodded in agreement. She waved at the guys and walked out. Then Betty turned to Stan and smiled.“It was a pleasure talking with you.” He admitted.“Same here.” She replied.“Come back anytime.” He added as she turned to leave.She turned around to gaze at him slowly. She never expected that he would want to see her again.“My home is open to you, anytime.” He concluded with a smile.She smiled at him and nodded in agreement. “I definitely will.” Then she left to meet Ella who was waiting outside for her.Betty was silent all through the ride. Ella was watching her study
