Billionaire’s Runaway Bride Chapter One- The wedding
It was late afternoon and the day she would officially become a wife.Looking out of the window, Carissa couldn't help but observe the beauty that graced her eyes.At the end of each aisle were balloons, ribbons and scented candles which did well in creating a perfect wedding scenery.From a distance, she caught a glimpse of her mother, who was grinning widely and making gestures to the caterers.“She must be so happy”, Carissa said to herself, with her face becoming downcast.She took in a deep breath as she shifted her gaze away from the window and strolled to the mirror.A sad smile made its way to her beautiful face.“A beautiful day for a beautiful bride!” Her mother, Mrs Williams, said in elation as she entered the room.Carissa responded with a smile, moving closer to her mum and entangling her in a tight hug.“Thank you mum”, she replied in a low voice, lowering her eyes to the floor to prevent her mother from catching a glimpse of her misty eyes.“Your dress is so beautiful!”

Stan laid on his bed, snoring lightly and ruffling his blanket at intervals. For the hundredth time, his phone rang aloud, causing him to let out a groan.“Who the hell is this?” He asked grumpily as he picked up the phone and made to throw it on the couch that laid opposite his bed.The shattering noise that emanated from the phone caused him to jolt up, with every bit of sleep making way out of his eyes.“Oh my God!” He yelped and jumped off his bed, rushing towards the phone and picking it up with regrets written on his face. He had just gotten the phone two weeks ago after they made the announcement of its release. It hadn’t stayed up to a month in his possession and despite how wealthy he was, he felt terrible that he had given the phone a crack.“Thankfully, it’s still working ”, he said as a massive breath of relief escaped his lips.He quickly checked through his call log, silently wondering why someone decided to stand as an obstacle to his Saturday sleep time.During weekd

“Mum”, Carissa suddenly called out to her mother, a few steps away from the door that led to the main entrance of the wedding location.“Yes my dear”, Mrs. Williams replied as she stopped walking to peer into her daughter’s beautiful eyes.“Can we wait a little more? I guess I’m becoming so nervous that my stomach is beginning to ache”, Carissa said and chucked nervously, lowering her eyes to the floor to hide the tears that welled up in them.“Oh my dear!” Mrs. Williams chimed in and placed her hands on Carissa’s forehead; in a bid to check her temperature.“The guests are waiting already. Do you think you would be better in the next ten minutes?” Her mother asked while she nodded her head in affirmation.“The bride would be out in the next ten minutes”, Mrs. Williams informed the man who stood by the door to open it up for the bride.Retracing their steps back, they made their way to the room they had come out from.Once Carissa was back in the room, she let out a considerable sigh

“What’s going on?” Stan asked Jay, who was pulling over aside the road.“We are probably out of gas”, Jay replied with a look of regret.“You’re joking”, Stan replied and broke into hysterical laughter.He returned his gaze to Jay, who stayed still and glared at him with a face that indicated that he was dead serious.“Where’s the nearest gas station?” Stan hurriedly asked as his heartbeat accelerated.“It’s quite far from here. I’m deeply sorry”, Jay apologized and got off the car.Stan stayed perplexed and dazed. He couldn’t ascertain the next thing to do because all his heart told him was how he was at the verge of losing Carissa forever.He jerked up and came off the car, rummaging his hand on his head and pacing around in utmost dilemma.Not only that, but he was unable to pinpoint why out of every other days, the gas chose to get exhausted on this day.“I would quickly send a message to one of your workers. Another car would be brought here”, Jay suggested, while Stan stared at

Stan smirked as he observed how emotional the guests had turned as a result of the sweet words Ethan had just uttered.He clenched his fists in fury and took a step closer, trying so hard to get the attention of Carissa, whose eyes were lowered to the floor.Carissa pondered over what Ethan had said to her. Her heart sank when she noted that she wasn’t moved by his utterance.“You would grow to love him”, she assured herself, even though the reality of that happening remained blurry.“Are you ready to say your vows?” The priest asked Carissa, causing her to jolt off her thoughts.She smiled calmly and nodded her head in affirmation.Taking a closer look at Ethan, she could see how much he anticipated the words that would come off her mouth.This was a beautiful moment. She could tell it was, with the look of admiration on the faces of the guests, along with the way everywhere remained dead silent.She shifted her gaze to the crowd once again, with a fabricated smile on her lips.“This

Stan got back to his apartment, where he threw his coat to the floor. He couldn’t ascertain the exact way he felt currently, but he was certain he felt a considerable chunk of relief.He gulped down hard as he walked to his wardrobe where a small box laid.He picked it up and stared at the ring intently, recalling how he had gotten her the ring with all his savings, about a year ago.“Is everything okay?” He had asked Carissa, who appeared to be gloomy and lost in thoughts.“I’m not certain that I’m okay!” Carissa had replied, causing him to take his hands off the box that laid in his pocket.“What’s wrong, my love?” He had asked a worried looking Carissa.“My mother, she cried all through yesterday”, Carissa had said to Stan, who gulped down hard and lowered his eyes to the floor.“Her debts are due soon, and she has no idea of how to pay them off”, Carissa had said to Stan, who was blank on what to utter.Back to the present, Stan held the ring and let out loud laughter which transi

Carissa finally decided to put an end to her drama. After what ensued during the wedding, she was rushed to the hospital.All those while, she left her eyes closed, totally aware of everything that was taking place around her.She heard Ethan’s worried voice and then that of her mother, who was sobbing quietly.At several points, she made to jerk up and tell her mother that everything was fake and made up.However, she was certain that would only trigger trouble, which she wasn’t ready for.Finally, she heard a doctor entering the room and running some tests on her.After about two hours, she finally opened her eyes, giving them the intuition that she had just gained consciousness.“Mum, what happened?” She asked pretentiously, peering into the worried eyes of her mother.“You passed out earlier”, Mrs. Williams explained as Carissa lowered her head to see that she was still clad in her wedding dress.“Oh my God! During the wedding?” Carissa asked aloud as she looked at her mother, who

Ethan knew that something was wrong with her. She appeared extremely disturbed and avoided his gaze at intervals. “Look at me”, Ethan said, as he cupped her cheeks into his hands, trying to ascertain what was going through her mind.“I’m fine”, Carissa said immediately, moving backwards until his hands dropped from her face.“I would take you home”, Ethan announced as he stood up and strolled to the door, gesturing for Carissa to come over.Carissa was about to jerk off the bed, but remembered that she should still show a glimpse of weakness.At this, she let out a groan as though she struggled to get off the bed.Mrs. Williams rushed towards her and led her to meet Ethan, who stood by the door.“I will handle her from here”, Ethan said to Mrs. Williams, smiling widely at her.He led Carissa out of the hospital room, with his hands wrapped around her waist and her head bent down to his shoulder.They got to the car and settled in, smiling at each other calmly and running out of words

The couple’s fun fair, which Carissa thought would make her and Ethan better in their relationship turned out to be worse than she had thought. Not only did she meet her ex lover, but he was in the hands of another lady.“Why didn’t he tell me that he had a girlfriend?” Carissa asked herself as she tossed uncomfortably on the car seat.“Are you okay?” Ethan’s voice disrupted her thoughts and as usual, she put up a smile that didn’t get to her eyes.“I’m very fine. I had fun today”, Carissa lied, but wasn’t swift enough because Ethan observed it.“Are you sure about that? Your expression contrasts with what you just said”, Ethan pushed further, throwing questioning glares at Carissa who tried to remain aplomb.“I’m sure about that”, Carissa replied and took in a deep breath. “How about you? You appeared so cold and different the moment your eyes landed on Stan”, Carissa said and peered piercingly into his eyes.“You appeared extremely disturbed when you both had a dance together. I sh

Carissa closed her eyes as she took in the soft lyrics of the song that played. With Stan’s hands on her waist, she could swear that she was on top of the world.“Tell me you didn’t miss me”, Stan’s breath on her bare shoulders caused her to jerk back to reality.“Look at me, Carissa”, he ordered, with his hands on her waist trailing towards her bare back as though he were driving towards pulling down her zip.“What do you think you are doing?” A wide-eyed Carissa asked, suddenly freezing in shock.“I’m doing something I’ve missed”, Stan replied, caressing her back with his fingers, just as the dance continued.At this point, Carissa felt extremely uncomfortable as she dreaded getting caught by Ethan.She had known Ethan for a little while, but she could swear that he would never take it lightly with Stan.“You can’t do anything strange here. People are here and Ethan is there as well”, Carissa said as she swallowed hard and darted her eyes towards Ethan, who was lost in the dance se

“What? Me?” Carissa asked in shock the moment she found everyone’s eyes attached to her.“Come forward beautiful lady”, The man on the microphone went further, after which an uproar of applaud rented the air.“Oh God!” Carissa cursed under her breath, timidly making her way to the front of the podium.She was a quiet and simple girl who hardly loved attention. At such, it was quite difficult to walk firmly with the eyes of many people on her.Most times, she wondered how she would be able to cope with Ethan as the wife of the billionaire.The numerous paparazzi and attention from individuals of the society was something she was yet to prepare her heart for.She darted her eyes to the far end of the crowd where Kiara was cheering on to her, clearly in the spirit of excitement.Carissa’s face fell the moment her eyes shifted to Stan, whose hands were wrapped around Kiara’s shoulders.It was obvious that he was uncomfortable. He had beads of sweats on his forehead and with every second t

Stan froze the moment his eyes met that of Ethan and Carissa. The two appeared so admirable as they held hands together and smiled at intervals.He could feel his blood boiling in rage that for a minute, he thought of approaching Ethan to give him the beating of his life.However, despite how much he wished to do that, he knew that it would only mean trouble for him.“I think I know him”, Kiara noted as she pulled Stan, who was trying so hard to resist her grip.“What do you think you’re doing?” “We should go say hi to them. His father is a friend of mine, and we had dinner together some time ago”, Kiara explained as she walked towards them, with Stan strolling beside her.Stan was in a fix and at that point, he couldn’t think of anything else apart from doing as she pleased.“Ethan?” Kiara called out in elation as Ethan quickly lifted his head to stare at her.Carissa did the same almost immediately, clearly curious to know who it was that called Ethan’s name with such excitement.H

“Babe! We are here!” Kiara squealed in excitement the moment the car drove closer to a park that was clearly booming with a series of activities.Stan’s head was tilted to the side of the window, clearly uninterested in what Kiara had just uttered.He was in the worst phase of his life and there didn’t seem to be a way out of it.“Babe!” Kiara’s voice came up again, jolting him out of his thoughts.“Are you okay?”“Yes! Sure”, Stan replied and came off the car, staring at the inscription on the entrance that said-couple’s fun fair”.A deep sigh escaped his lips as he suddenly became exhausted.“We are not a couple yet”.“Of course we are! Aren’t we getting married soon?” Kiara said in elation as she pulled Stan towards the entrance.Stan was extremely pissed, but he knew better than to show that to Kiara. She would get sad and quickly call her father to report him.That was one thing he couldn’t keep up with Kiara, her clingy and unnecessarily childish attitude.He was unable to blame
Billionaire’s Runaway Bride Chapter 33- Couple’s fun fair
Loud chatters and music enveloped the atmosphere, with different couples clinging unto each other and whispering sweet, inaudible words into their ears.Carissa came off the car and smiled at Ethan, who stretched out his hands for her to cling on.“Enjoy the day with your husband to be”, Carissa said to herself as she walked towards Ethan, who appeared to be extremely fulfilled and elated.They slowly trudged into the field, clearly amazed by the number of people that were present.“I had no idea that it was going to be this huge!” Ethan confessed, with a glimpse of pleasure in his eyes.The past few days had been quite rough for him. Trying so hard to live in a house that now had the presence of a stranger was the most difficult thing he could ever think or imagine.“I saw the news about your father having another son”, Carissa noted, peering into his worried eyes and caressing his hands lightly.She was trying so hard to act normal and behave in the way and manner a wife is meant to

“You won’t dare talk to me as though I’m a child! I’m still your father and if you push me to the edge of the wall, you won’t be excited by the outcome!” Mr. Philip bellowed angrily as he took slow steps towards Ethan, who had turned mute.“He is my son, and so many things made me confirm that! He showed me the picture of his mother too”, he yelled and clenched his fist in fury.“You mean the picture of your whore? The bitch you fucked around when you were supposed to be with my mother?” Ethan asked, without a glint of remorse in his expression.“That whore gave me a son and that son is still my blood!” Mr. Philip chimed in.Richard, who had been watching them suddenly, stood up and broke into loud laughter.“This is funny, but then, I didn’t find the part where you called my mum a whore funny. But then, the argument going on between you two is quite interesting!” He said and picked up a glass of wine which he gulped down hurriedly.“Sit down like the bastard you are!” Ethan growled.
Billionaire’s Runaway Bride Chapter 31- The meeting
Ethan slowly walked into the dining room, with a massive scowl on his face, and ignoring the greetings coming from the maid and housekeepers.“You came down late”, Mr. Philip said, with an obvious look of dissatisfaction on his face.Ethan ignored him and shot a dead glare at his brother, who was smirking at him and making funny gestures.“Apologize!” Mr. Philip yelled angrily, causing Ethan to jolt off his thoughts.Ethan shrugged, with his fists clenched and his heart thumping rapidly.He felt totally embarrassed, but knew that he had to succumb to what his father ordered.“I was busy with some things, I apologize for keeping you”, he muttered and took in a deep breath.Almost immediately, he heard the sound of someone munching on something hurriedly and lifting his head up, he saw his brother chewing on a piece of chicken that barely fitted into his mouth.“What the hell! Must you show us that you’ve been starving all these while?” Ethan said, raising his nose in disgust.“Ethan, be

Ethan got back into his room and took his clothes off. He took a quick shower, after which he poured himself a glass of alcohol.Just then, he heard a knock on the door and almost immediately, the door knob turned to reveal a young man who seemed to be younger to Ethan with a year or thereabout.“Who the hell are you?” Ethan asked as he stared at him intently.“Well, that can wait for another time. Actually, I’m here to take a tour at my father’s house”, the young man explained and chuckled calmly.His eyes darted to the bottle of alcohol that Ethan drank from.“I guess they missed out the part of my brother being an alcoholic”, he said with a wide grin, causing Ethan’s face to turn red in rage.“One more word from you and I would send you to your early grave!” Ethan threatened as he stood to his feet and took slow steps towards him.“Easy brother! It is not your intention to hurt me before my official introduction”, the young man said with a wide smile that pierced right into Ethan’s
