CHAPTER 93M I R A N D AI was the first one to arrive at this restaurant for me to meet the wedding coordinator that Scarlet introduced to us over the phone about a week ago. Hugo is currently out with the boys for tuxedo fitting and I’m here to meet her because Scarlet said she is one of the best wedding coordinators and she's been in demand in her field too.I wore a white v-neck shirt with a Minnie Mouse print on it, a pair of black distressed jeans and some black flat ankle boots. I take a sip from my drink while I waited for Miss Jordins to arrive. I glance at my watch and she's a bit late for ten minutes now and that's what Scarlet warned me about, she's a bit late when it comes to meet-ups with first clients.I didn't want Scarlet to tell Miss Jordins that I was marrying Hugo Saintclare, since I'm sure she'll ask for a huge down payment for it once I'll mention Hugo's name. I don't want to have a very expensive wedding, I just wanted something simple and still romantic."Hi. A
CHAPTER 94M I R A N D AI gaze at my watch, and it's already six in the morning, almost seven.I'm beginning to panic as I kept asking questions where Hugo could have been these days. I sigh inwardly.Hugo still hasn't been back here in New York and I don't know where he is. I'm worried as fuck that he will ditch me today. This is my huge day! This is our huge day today and he can't miss it.Today is our wedding and I couldn't find him. I've tried to call him since the last time but he can't be reached. He's nowhere to be seen too. I've left him tons of messages but he's not responding.Fuck, where is that curly man?I sit here, in front of the huge mirror as I was staring at my own reflection. The make up artist and hairdressers were already busy making me look pretty but I don't even feel happy right now because Hugo is nowehre to be found.They were already getting ready while I don't even know where my soon to be husband is right now. I always take a glance at my phone every seco
CHAPTER 95Seventy-TwoM I R A N D AAh damn I'm nervous.I take a deep breath in before I'm going to walk down the aisle in front of those people. The orchestra begins to play once they saw me on the church's doorway. I exhale heavily once more before I begin to walk. As the music begins to play, I began to take small steps with Hugo's mom and dad, my heart was beating crazily.I do swearThat I’ll always be thereI’d give anything and everythingAnd I will always careThrough weakness and strengthHappiness and sorrowFor better for worseI will love youWith every beat of my heartEvery step I take with Hugo's parents felt like my heart was going to jump from my ribcage. I feel like I'm about to pass out anytime soon. Every time I look at Hugo as he waits for me at the end of the aisle with all the lads, I feel more scared and more excited. But he makes me feel at ease at the same time too. He tries to make my heart feel at ease.I stare at everyone who wore beautiful gowns and sui
CHAPTER 96M I R A N D AI remember how the church looked amazing with all those tons of beautiful roses that filled the entire venue. I remember how happy I was when I married Hugo. I remember how it felt to finally kiss him in front of a real altar with guests witnessing us being married. I remember every single thing and I feel so happy when I try to look back at it.We were all happy that day and even when we got to the wedding reception, everyone congratulated us. I was massively thankful and happy that they accepted the fact that I married Hugo even though I know some people are raising eyebrows at me cos I married him after divorcing Landon.I don't care anymore. All that matters to me is to make my family complete, to make the kids happy and to be with Hugo.I love him so much that I think no words can explain how my heart beats when he's around me and how I love him very dearly. I think even though I hug him as tight as I could, it still wouldn't be enough to show him how muc
EPILOGUE PART 1B E NEver felt like the entire world is on your shoulders? I do.All the time, actually.When your father is the greatest businessman named Hugo Saintclare who owns the biggest conglomerate in England and some parts of the world, you'll definitely be pressured to actually do your best as his eldest son. Everyone is expecting me to be as great as my father but I know I can't be as best as he is.I don't say that my dad is a bad man, because he isn't. He's even the most amazing person that I've ever met aside from my mother. They've been married for twelve years now and I think during that span of time, they've shared so many moments together with us.I'm happy and very thankful that he's my father, but despite being blessed with all we've got, there are still disadvantages of being a child of Hugo Saintclare.One, I've grown up with paps following me since I was a young even until now and it's annoying when cameras are on my face.Two, I always doubt the people around
EPILOGUE PART 2B E N Coral leaves my office. I faced my back to the door as I begin to take my blazer from my chair. I hear the sound of the door opening again, the same time I placed my blazer around me. I fixed my collar as I push my hair off my face."She's here sir." Coral states.I nod.The sound of the door closing."I'm so honored to have this kind of opportunity Mr. Saintclare." A sweet voice speaks and I know it wasn't Coral. "Thank you so much for letting me have this quick interview with you." She adds.I spin myself around to face her, "I actually didn't want--" I stopped with what I was going to say when I finally saw her.I paused.I stare at her longer.Her long hair was strawberry blond, and her eyes... I think they were a pair of light blue. She stood there, squirming and felt uneasy standing before me. I look at her from head to toe and she was simple. She was wearing a dirty coveralls with hand prints on it, a tank top beneath, and a pair of dirty white Converse s
PrologueHe placed the money on top of the table right in front of her. Her eyes were quick enough to land at the bills."That's $3,000." He says.He kept staring at her eagerly while his hands holding onto each other."What's your name?" He asks."Well... You can call me anything you want to, babe." She flirts, trying to hide her real identity.She smiles at him as the music blares loudly through the walls of the club."Why are you doing this?" He asks.She grins at him while she twirls her glass of champagne in little circles."Why not?" She asks back.She slightly pulled her head up to him and just smirked at the man who was wearing a charcoaled black suit and tie with a white dress shirt under it. He sits right across her with his leg over the other as he tries to study this kind of woman that he hasn't met before."You don't have to do this you know? You don't have to be this.... kind of woman that you're not." He adds."You don't know me." She says."But you don't have to be lik
1T H E AI walk my way to Mrs. Victoria's office with my heart thumping hard against my chest. To be honest, I don't like walking inside her office all alone. It's like walking inside a lion's den.Everyone knows that she's very strict and very moody. Bipolar, at some point actually. When she wants you inside her office, it's either she's going to scold you for doing something wrong at work or either she fires you. Either way, it's always negative when she calls an employee inside her den.I'm not saying that she's always moody or angry, but there would be times that she's nice but that's very very seldom to happen. Then there are most times when she's maddening and bossy as hell which happens almost always in every day of the week.Sometimes I questioned myself why did I ever wanted to be an intern here. Maybe because she deceived me. She was nice when she interviewed me, I guess it was all for the show just so she can lure employees in to work for her. Hence the magazine name, Lure
