Inside a beautifully decorated hall, filled with people from the high class mostly from the business world,both from the Davis groups down to the Reynolds Enterprise,all well-wishers of those about to wed, but then something is missing.
The couple's families were nowhere to be seen...
Davis residents
********
Madam and Mister Someone from the Groom family just called, a maid ran with a phone in hand....
" Hello " Mrs Davis said into the phone with a panicking voice, but her attention were all on the tightly shot door before her..
" I don't want to get there before the bride " came a strong dominant voice which was shivering .
"Yes Sir, I understand", she couldn't even finish before she heard pimping sounds from the other side of the phone which indicated that the call had been disconnected...
" What happened?" Mr Davis asked curiously.
"It's the Reynolds they want us to be there before them and the rude bastard couldn't even say a word of greeting. If not for the past relationship we had with them, I would have to personally call off the wedding. They made it seem as if they were the ones doing us a huge favor by marrying our daughter and that Mr Reynold hasn't even called once to know how far we've gotten with the preparation.So annoying." She hissed.
wedding venue..
Clara walked on the red carpet with her hands closely wrapped around her uncle's arms and her white grew flowing elegantly behind her. Even without makeup, she was able to get everyone's attention. The men were all envious of the husband while the ladies were all jealous of the beautiful bride who just walked in...
1minute
30 minutes
1 hour gone
But the Groom or his family are yet to show up , leaving the guest wondering what is going on, but the most anxious person is, of course, the bride to be, even if she is not ready for the wedding, but she never for once thought of being stood up ,on her wedding day, she broke out in Cold sweat... tighten her grib on her uncle's arms , unconsciously bitting down on her soft lower lip until she tasted something sulty inside her mouth .
Outside, the atmosphere was tensed as three sparkling black SUVs and a white limo pulled into the underground parking lot , then six big guys in black suits and sunglasses stepped out and one of them quickly opened the door of the limo. A handsome man stepped out who quickly opened the passenger side with his head bowed, not daring to leave it. His dark hair came out, followed by long legs before the guy finally got out...
" Face mask, and face Cap" he said coldly, and his assistant immediately provided them , before adding
"Boss, today is your wedding , I don't think you should go in like...."he didn't finish his statement when his eyes met with the cold ones of his boss , making him swallow up the remaining statement....
" Sorry Sir, I think I drank too much, what am I even saying? What wedding,ha ha ha I. must be mad" he said, trying his possible best to dismiss his statement...
" Drop your act and give me details of my next meeting "
" Bless you sir, thanks, alot, " he bowed 190 degrees to the Earth, but the Cold Man, just walked past, followed by the six big guys... when he regained his senses he ran to him, following right behind him...
Reading the next meeting like a programmed robot...
" After the wedding we are heading to Heaven for a dinner with some investors and after that we will be going to Reynolds Enterprise to finalize the contract " and that should be all for today....
The hall door opened and the six big guys walked in. Four of them went straight to the front where the priest was while the other two stood by the door bringing their guns out , then came his arrogant voice....
" I can only spare 10 minutes of my time and the time starts now. Proceed with whatever you have to say"
The once noisy hall suddenly became deadly silent, as if the people were scared to even breathe...
"After being an hour and 30 minutes late, this is how you apologise, Boss,, now I know why I never saw you with a lady and if this continues, sorry boss, you will end up being single for the rest of your life " his assistant, Tony Malcolm, mumbled behind him.
"Did you say something ?" He turned towards him.
"You mean me? I have not even taken a breath since we stepped in " he replied innocently.
" Then put on your face mask, if someone should recognize you consider yourself fired okay ? " He hissed.
"Very clear Sir, don't be angry, it's your day ". He just wouldn't stop teasing him.
It came as a shock to him when he announced his marriage, but he knew better why he suddenly made that decision.
" Shut up "
All eyes were on the handsome man. Even with his face covered, one can tell that he is very handsome and definitely not the young master Nelson known by all. This man is a teller and even his aura kept everyone miles away from him....
Even the bride noticed this and she immediately left her uncle's arms and walked to him. Grabbing his hand, she asked with a trembling voice...
" Who are you ? I have seen Master Nelson and you are nothing like him. "
For a second, a hint of surprise came over him but it quickly disappeared without any trace, leaving his cold look and emotionless face....
He stared blankly at the little hand holding his down to the owner. He said with a nonchalant voice ", you must be my bride ? " It came like a question but at the same time, he stated the fact.
He immediately stood facing her, the coldness emanating from him freezing her, making her feel like she is in a cold cell. She was forced to take a step back.
His bride can be said to be beautiful, told from the pictures from his investigation, but the person before him is totally different from the one in the pictures .
He quickly looked away facing the priest, who was already sweating because of the presence of the four harmed men.
" Xavier Reynold " he replied, " and I promise her that she will be alive to witness my happiness. "
After saying this, he dragged her forward. She was beautiful, but that had no effect on him..
The sudden large palm on her small waist made her look at him in surprise, but he only had an evil smirk on.
At that moment, her eyes fell on the picture of a young girl with him. She had a beautiful smile which was also kind of creepy but at the same time cute.
If that girl is alive , she bet that they could pass for age mate or maybe not.
He looked at his assistant who was now the best man and ordered coldly " continue "
Fear got hold of Adam Davis and his wife. This must be the illegitimate son of James Reynold. They were all confused but didn't dare alter a word or do anything because of the six guys. They looked on helplessly until they heard a gentle but firm voice.
" WAIT!!! " Clara said. Fine, she was scared of this big bad guy , but she. She couldn't keep calm and let herself walk into her grave, since no one wanted to talk. At least she should, at least, was her future. She had to fight for herself. She was never informed of this marriage to begin with.
" I was supposed to marry Master Leo, not you mister. You must have been in the wrong hall. How about you going out and checking the other hall? You can even call your bride," Clara tried to reason with the cold-faced guy.
" Not Mr. His name is Xavier. Xavier Reynold is the eldest son of Reynolds and I would advise you to always remember that name because it will forever be imprinted on your life , till you take your last breath. "
Over comed with fear, she subconsciously took few steps back ....
"If we are clear, let's proceed, time is really not on my side." Ignoring her shocked expression, he asked the priest to proceed.
And that was how she became the bride of a strange guy. Her family was there, they had the power. Why didn't they stop the wedding? Why didn't anyone say a word? Even the priest turned a blind eye to her protest. She didn't even take a glance at her husband to find out what he looked like during the wedding and after.
Because immediately after the wedding, he turned to his men and only said one sentence.
"You know what to do "?
Then off he went without looking back , he was so rude and so were his men. They even made the guest return home with gifts or maybe her family would accept them.
" Tony , let's proceed to Heaven."
He pulled off his mask and so did his assistant.
They left the wedding premises , leaving her with the six fierce men. She went into the open limo, sat down and then the guard shut the door and went to the driver's seat .. Clara did not even take a look at her uncle and Aunt. She just accepted her fate.
At a dark corner of the parking park, a young lady stood with disbelief looking at the direction which the SUV had just left in.
Danielle could not believe what just happened. Even if her eyes were closed she could still recognize that person, this was supposed to be her wedding, but because she was madly obsessed with this guy, she begged her parents to replace her with her cousin.
And now she just watched him wed her sister. No!, that should have been her. She should have been his wife, if only she hadn't run off. It was actually a plan she had with her parents and now it fired back.. Hot drops of tears rolled down her cheeks and in no time they started pouring down.
The three limos drove out.... But Clara's mind was in a mess. How did things end up like this? 'This person is clearly not interested in this marriage or could it be that he was also forced to replace his brother like her? If that's the case, then they can talk things over , right ? He doesn't want marriage and the same here. We can continue with our lives peacefully '
But he is too. How can he embarrass me on our wedding day. At least we should have put on an act to fool the public. Now the news will be all over the country.
Having been forced into his room by the elderly housekeeper Leah, she Sat down on the leather seat inside the big chamber, removing her shoes, probably because she had been in her 10 inch heels. Her legs hurt so badly they were all swollen purple. Feeling more relaxed after pulling them, she straightened her long slender legs on the couch because of how comfy it was. She fell asleep while on it.******After a long day at work, the new groom came back home. And, like a normal day, he moved freely in his room, undressing and dumping them on the couch. It was not until one of the clothes suddenly moved that he stopped. He looked at the beautiful lady in his room , he recalled that he was now a married man , he had got married to the daughter of his arc enemy .Looking at her sleeping peacefully, he couldn't help but admire her beauty . '. This must be natural , there's no sign of cosmetic surgery '. Her skin glows like that of a newly born and those small tempting pink lips.."Wha
SHE knows very well, when he enters the room at night, when he wakes up , when he gets dressed for work , before the sun can even rise. She does not take note of all his actions because she's concerned like other wives will towards their husbands , she only afraid , yes, afraid of her husband and not just him even the pictures around the house especially the one on the bedside table. They all give her sleepless nights. This house is creepy, like those haunted houses. But that morning she had given in to reality when she woke up and saw him coldly looking at her with eyes filled with hatred and disgust. She came to the conclusion that he didn't like her and never would. Even the maids here are all cold towards her, just like back home, and now they see her as an abnormal person thanks to her husband. She felt very bored here, at least back home. She had her piano with her and a beautiful garden to distract her .Then an idea came into her head; visiting her parents' home. At lea
She unconsciously lowered her head. After her eyes met his cold ones." I was only helping you change your wallet."She answered gently. "Was the one who brought the new wallet here ? " His voice became even more cold.." I saw your new wallet being delivered while I was on my way to the room,so I thought I should bring it up to you"she quickly explained to herself, her voice softened as she spoke with fear written over her face." So, not only did you act on your own accord, you are being presumptuous, Xavier snorted before picking up his phone and dialing a number, "Do you know what you did wrong Tony? " He demanded." I had someone else carry out my duty. I'll accept any punishment , my Lord, please punish me. Tony's voice came from the phone speaker ,loud enough for Clara to hear.She could hear everything that was being said. Feeling guilty, she squeezed her dress with her cold hand.. Would he have been spared if she hadn't told the truth just now ..Xavier gazed coldly at
Now, it's just the two of them left in the large hall. Maybe because the air conditioner was too high , the hall became so chilling, just too chilling that she felt herself shivering. Slowly he stretched out his hand, lifting her palm_sized face, he said with a soft but hoarse voice " you can , but you will have to exchange it with something special, how about that? " Call her stupid, but right now she's enjoying the warmth his hands are offering to her skin, but when what he said fully registered inside her head.Clara turned Pale ." w_ what ?" ' how can this person not only be shameless but very perverted , oh,no , not that look in his eyes , am not ready for this, oo ' her own voice was screaming loudly in her head.His well- proportioned fingers were busy caressing her lips, ignoring her uneasiness.She trembled right under his touch, fear boldly written all over her small face."Has any man touched you hare? " He asked seductively, pressing her right breast with the fabric of
Holy sh*t what's the madam doing here and that? Good for nothing. Stanley Reynold must be tired of living.." Boss, I will take care of this" he volunteered, but before he could take a step a cold voice stopped him." No need to see Mr Johnson off. " With this, Xavier went after those idiots. Manager Joe, who saw everything, also ran after him..Tony stood there for a while, puzzled that the boss was going to take care of something personally. For the past 10 years he had known this man. This was the first time something like this had happened.' mmmm I smell death.'After seeing him off he went after his boss.In the meantime, her stay in the room was hell. The Idiots were all laughing at her misfortune, and the leader was forcing her to drink from his cup, but she kept struggling with him until he asked two of her followers to hold her down. She became helpless in their mist." So pretty, since you don't want to play, I will just go straight into doing it. After that my men will al
"STOP!!!" He ordered, pulling a chair to sit. He crossed his legs, taking out a cigarette, he lighted it. While he was relaxing doing this, the people in the room with him were all trembling , their fate was in the hands of this guy. Would so no-one dares to make a sound, if a pin were to drop right now everyone present would hear the sound.. " COME HERE!!!" He ordered with an arrogant voice without lifting his head or pointing at a particular person. The people were all puzzled, wondering who he was referring to..Seeing this, Clara started playing with the hem of her dress subconsciously as she took slow steps towards him, not daring to look at him directly."Come here!" he repeated, but this time his voice sounded angry, seeing that Stanley ran forward ."Yes Brother " he had to be polite this time he have been caught in the act..Standing right in front of him and Clara sitting beside him, he threw her a look filled with an unspoken warning." Smash it " he said, more like a stat
" The nails on the middle finger and ring finger have fallen off and there is some damage from being crushed, but thankfully the X-ray shows that there was no serious damage incurred."The doctor respectfully reported the results of the X-ray to the man sitting on the couch beside the bed."Will it affect her playing the piano?" Xavier asked with a cold voice, looking at the unconscious woman's pale face. He had never expected someone as quiet and timid to do something so extreme. 'Did I push her too hard?"No Sir, the fingers will soon regain their flexibility as long as she has a good rest" the doctor already had cold sweat on his forehead. The man in front of him is very terrorizing, making him feel very pressured."Umm , the piano cover is well cushioned. If not, her fingers would have been crippled given the amount of force she used."The doctor was shown his way out by Tony and very soon the Ward was left empty apart from the two people inside, one lying motionless while the o
The elevator was almost shut, when a slender hand came from outside and it was opened again. Standing in front of her was a young lady dressed in a hospital gown. She walked in and pressed the closed button in a hurry.However, just when the door was about to be closed again, another big hand stopped it and Clara saw four men dressed in black suits, thinking that they were coming for her. Her heart started racing just how he had found out what she was up to in such a short amount of time. But she was not given time to think, because her body was harshly pushed into the elevator wall and the strange woman pressed herself on her and her lips became hot. She widened her eyes because of the shock, but the person was not even affected as she continued to suck on her bottom lip, feeling disgust, she tried to push her attacker off, but the person tightened her grip, looking at her with pleading eyes. When the men saw this first class X-rated scene , they quickly apologiz
" Clara" he called again, yet no response, the four babies were still crying. " Don't.. don't call my mummy, you bad a** " little treasure said between snobs, at first he didn't find this Uncle to be a bad person, but why will his aunt that was just fine a moment ago end up in a hospital bed the moment he appeared, now he's calling his Mom by her name, what will become of them if their mommy also ended up like big auntie?.This person must be dangerous since his Mom isn't even replying to him. " Take another step and watch us call the cops on you! "Little cupcake threatened using his small hand to protect his mom and sister by forming a barrel. The young boys look very alarmed but one could see how scared they are. Xavier felt his heart shattered into many pieces, he has indeed failed, what is man if his presence was not even acknowledged by his children.Yes he takes delight in seeing people trembling at his feet but not them, not his own kids, not his family , where will he star
"Why don't I take them to doctor Alex while you go see your doctor?"Lola suggested, since Clara recently complained of some abdominal pain .Clara couldn't be more grateful, she smiled at her, after all her big sister is still the best , she ran into her arms and gave her a tight hug, followed by a kiss ." Lola, you are the best, what would I have done without you by my side." Lola just stood there unable to come up with a better response. " Okay, now that's okay, let go of me now people are watching, it won't be good if these people have a bad idea about us." she whispered this through her teeth, she never likes being in a situation whereby everyone's attention will be on her and this is what Clara's childish behavior was creating .What would those people think seeing two young women with kids hugging and even kissing?. ," Oh sorry!,my bad " Clara apologized feeling awkward, she was too emotional and ended up embarrassing herself, as if she felt glaring eyes around her she turned
Inside the car, Xavier rested his head on the headrest behind him and shut his eyes,as he recalled his conversation with the two rascals he met at the mall." Just like they said , their Mom really has a nice voice ,but not the best I've heard so far. If Clara should go into music again, her voice will be far better than that woman's."Unfortunately he heartlessly shattered that dream of hers, he brought out his phone and smiled at his new wallpaper for the first time after almost four good years he changed his wallpaper . ' she will be surprised if I show this picture to her, this little girl looks just like her , if our baby were to be a girl she would look just like this little girl. ' then he remembered how she called him"daddy" and I sad smile appeared on his face. ' I thought our child would be the first to call me that,Clara, I never knew that I would one day come across such cute little bunnies.' Xavier smiled when he recollected how cute those little brothers were when they
{Love is like thatGives me pain and leavesLove is like thatComes with the wind without a soundCome closer to meWhen loving someoneEverything is similar to himThough it can make me get lostLove is like thatMakes me cry and smileLove me again, even if am scaredI won't run awayEven if it hurts a littleI still love youPlease stand by me and let our love shine bright like the stars.....}**** After performing her second song for tonight, Clara was set to leave, she stepped into her dressing room with her mask still on. "Babe you were really breathe taking this time, just take a look, your audience are still clapping , I really really love your growth babe, that's how life should be, when it throws lemons at your feet pick them up and make a lemonade out of them, you don't let your past pull you down, honey." Lola won't stop chanting until she realizes that the person she was having this conversation with wasn't even responding. " This one you are unusually quiet , hope yo
{. When you, were born There in your mother's womb An angel told me, that you will be A gift of love from her to me When you roll and turn, I be right by your side, when you need me There I will be ,a gift of Love From her to me.}After playing the piano throughout the night, he stood up and walked to the balcony for a smoke, this was a habit he has slowly gotten used to.Sometimes when he has the urge to smoke, he always has this feeling that she's standing in front of him with her hands folded across her chest, glaring at him as if daring him to try smoking in her house.Surprisingly, most of the times he find himself trashing several packs of cigarettes while smiling at the place he saw her image, with the word " alright, you won " written all over his face. But tonight what he felt was different, standing at the balcony, he could see the view from the gate down to the maple tree. Memories of the both of them under that tree was vividly playing in front of hi
On hearing the painful scream coming from the studio, Ms Lola made her way down the stair,"Clara ma'am, Clara ma'am,are you alright?" She questioned as she panicky took two steps at a time, the closer she got to the studio the louder the mournful cry, she kicked the door open only to see Clara using a hand to support her waist and the other hand grab a nearby chair tightly for support." Lola, please call the driver,the baby, my baby is coming, I can feel it down here. " Clara was all sweaty, she has never experienced anything this painful but she knows this is just the tip of an ice block, she's yet to push her baby out. She tried walking to the door but her steps were heavy along with the pain she is now experiencing, her face has turned pale.Lola was inexperienced but that doesn't mean she didn't know what was happening, with trembling hands she punched in a few digits on her phone, calling for help."Hello, get the car prepared, madam is in pain and we need some assistance, pl
That incident made her already popular name became even more popular, from that day onwards, wherever she went with her group of friends,whispers about the incident would follow,it was told in such a way that, students who couldn't make it to school when it happened felt like they didn't miss any part of it." Here comes the queen of all shameless people!" A female student exclaimed, attracting the attention of other students present at the canteen , even though they already know who is coming, they all wanted to watch her walk into the school canteen, and when she does, whispers start flowing from one table to another. " I've actually not seen anyone more shameless than her, she really deserves that title."a blondy concurred."Ladies, have you all heard the latest update on her one sided madness?" At another table a red hair questioned her friends." I don't think I've"" let it out girly, " " What did she do this time?"Her friends couldn't wait to get their hands on this new info
" You should have left Clara out of this, she doesn't even know much about me, not to mention having an idea of what I did in the past, why do you have to drag her into this?,if you must avenge them then do it in the right way and with the right person which is me."Xavier tried talking sense into him with the thought that he is still the little brother who follows him around , but unknown to him the Ezekiel he was once familiar with was only a fake , a role perfectly played by this Mafia boss , a big time drug dealer Ezekiel Weston. "Tsk tsk, this is boring, you are far from being the merciless devil you used to be, I mean look at you now Xavier!, you are no longer the man you used to be, since you got married to that lunat…."" Clara!"Xavier corrected,he has gotten more than enough of Kiel addressing his wife with so much disrespect, even when they are together he keeps addressing her as a lunatic."My bad!, You see that!, this is one of the things I'm trying to point out, from the
Alex was already in the verge of running mad from the moment he read the content of that letter,he still couldn't believe she finally left him. She even wishes to see him happy with someone else if they ever cross paths again, but is that even possible?."Just how am I supposed to be happy, when my source of happiness coldly left my life without a goodbye? , how can I not look for you,my angel m, "He searched, but he couldn't trace her,why did he have to be so unlucky?.Why?!Bang bang bang.The furious bang on his gate drew him back to reality, he immediately got up and ran out.Heading to the gate, irritated by the continues banging on his gate, because he haven't eaten anything since two days now, Alex movement was slow and this got whoever is at his gate more furious because the next bang almost brought down the gate, Alex who is already angry opened the gate ready to give the unfortunate idiot a piece of mind but Immediately he opened the door , he staggered back, almost los
