"Can we go and grab something to eat?" Rhea inquires and that eams her a glare from me."Are you seriously talking about food right now?" I ask Rhea with shock lacing my voice because there are times that I find it really difficult to wrap my head around how Rhea thinks."come to think of it, we barely had anything to eat in the morning because of your over excitement about the whole engagement more so, you were more concerned about us checking that everything was in place after hiring the best of the best of the best to be in charge of the engagement ceremony and I accompanied you without questions" Rhea states and my irritation flares.Are you seriously doing this right now because you don't like Ember?" I ask her with clenched fists.*I think there is some kind of misunderstanding going on here so why don't we just go about that somewhere away from here?" Adrian says quickly stepping in between Rhea and I to stop the fight before it starts."There is no misunderstanding here, this is just how Rhea feels about Ember and the fact that I am still getting married to Ember despite your disapproval doesn't even make her hate or dislike for Ember lessen"the same goes for you so don't you dare act like a saint" I rebuke disgusted by Adrian act of self-righteousnessI don't really remember Adrian's mom and Embers mom being so close to the point that the first person that she is approaching immediately after seeing the doctor is Adrian's mom instead of either of my parents that will soon become one family with theirs."let's just assume that they probably bonded after Embers twin sister died and now their almost inseparable since embers dead sister and Adrian were madly in love with each other" I mutter as I take my phone out to inform Elliot about what is going on with Ember so that if he wraps up his meeting early, he won't make his way down to the event center thinking the event is on full swing"Soon to be Mrs. Kings collapses at her own engagement ceremony" is the first thing that pop up on my notification bar from my browser and immediately after that, my phone starts to beep with all sorts of notification from different social media platformsIt takes a while for me to wrap my head around why there is so much controversy going on about someone whom the details of her health condition has not been disclosed to the general public as to if she is out of danger or not.I follow the thread of one of the viral twitter posts on my timeline that has a whole lot of engagement and there are so many popular bloggers repeatedly tweeting with the same hashtag #troubleinparadise and the hashtag has over 144 thousand views in less than an hourMy bone of contention right now is that why are these silly people trying to chase clout with something that concerns somebody's health just because they wat to trend.Most importantly, where are all these insensitive comments and unnecessary speculations about the reason why Ember passed out, instead of them to wait for an official statement from her familyI am so going to ask Miss Caleb to get the PR team of KINGS CORP. to conduct a proper investigation on who created the hashtag that is being used to say insensitive things about Ember."I think I agree with you" Rhea says placing her hand on my shoulder, startling me."what are you doing here sneaking up on me like that" I ask her alarmed.*I wasn't sneaking up on you, I have been sitting here with you for a while but you didn't seem to bother with me, instead you have been mumbling to yourself she answers defensively."that is not the answer to my question Rhea.. I just asked you what you are doing here" 1 ask her giving her a frank look."Fineeeee" she says with a shade of disappointment on her face at the unwelcoming tone that I gave her."I came here to explain that I was trying to help earlier, but you misunderstood my intentions and said hurtful things to me" Rhea expresses as I scan her from head to toe, unsure of what to say to her."hello!" Rhea says snapping her well-manicured fingers in front of me."are you okay?" she inquires and I scoff."at these point, I really feel that you guys should stop asking me if I am okay when it is clear to all of you that the woman that I have admired from afar for years is in the hospital fighting for her life, two out of the three closest friends that I have are sparing no effort to prove to me that they are not ready to compromise their strong dislike for Ember for the sake of my happiness, and lastly almost everyone online is using Embers health condition to improve their social media impressions, so no I am not okay" I start zooming into my valley of outburst.*I think I understand the part of people using the plane jane to trend" Rhea expressesand I stare at her with hollow eyes, shell shocked.*I mean, an opportunity presented itself for people to go viral in a matter of seconds just by saying something about the plane jane so do you really think that they will let such a golden opportunity slip through their fingers without milking every part of it?" she inquires and a wave of disappointment strikes me.*I feel so disappointed in myself for believing for a split second that you could really understand what I was going through, but here you are utilizing the leverage that vou have to communicate your strong dislike for Ember" I express, hot with humiliation and disappointment."that's not true" Rhea says in a defensive tone"I was only trying to explain things to you so that you won't allow the insensitive things that people online have to say to get to you" she defends"the people that I call my own friends could only think about food in such a critical situation so what should I have expected from the netizens" | hiss"about that, I didn't ask you to let us go and grab something to eat because I was trying to project my strong dislike foe Ember" she starts and I raise an eyebrow at her*I admit that I don't like Ember, but since you came over to invite me to your engagement I decided to be there for you because I care about you and most importantly, friends look out for each other" she expresses taking my hand in hers"when I suggested that we should go and eat, I wasn't being insensitive because I didn't like Ember, I was only looking out for you because I after I saw both Embers parents walk past us earlier. I wanted to use going out to eat as an excuse so that we can at least find a way to pass time while waiting for Ember parents instead of siting in the awkward silence waiting doing nothing Rhea expresses and I blink back my shock*we have been together since yesterday and you have been so happy about your engagement ceremony that you barely had anything so eat so I just really wanted you to ear something so that you don't end up passing out like the plane jane" she expresses sigh tiredly not knowing what else to say to Rhea, because at this point I don't know what it is going to take for Rhea to stop referring to Ember as 'plane jane'."BREAKING NEWS!!!" the overly dramatic news headline displaying on the hospital television screen catches my attention and I pause"A ONE NIGHT WITH THREE PEOPLE" the journalist whose location looks like that of the entrance of crystal royal care center, the same hospital that Ember is admitted in announces with Embers picture overlaying one side of the screen with a big question mark and that confuses me the more"Ember Weston's pregnancy test surfaces after she collapsed earlier today at her own engagement as she tries to cover up the news by tearing the pregnancy test and disposing after an alleged one night stand with three people" the journalist went ahead to announce"the identity of the three people that Ember Weston slept with includes: her boss, her dead sister's boyfriend, and her fiances best friend in person of Adrian sawyer."I will continue this episode of breaking news in silver city after returning from a five minutes break while I put together concrete evidence to prove to everyone in silver city that this breaking news is 100% legit" she says before going on her proposed break while | stand rotted in my spot completely ignoring the commotion that is going on in the hospital lobby.Related chapters
Brian Kings and His Substitute Bride Can this day get any worse?
I can feel my muscles constricting and time seemed to slow down as I stand frozen in my spot as I try to process everything that I just heard in the news.I continue to stare at the television with wide eyes that I can not shut while waiting for the journalist that dropped such a bomb on me without proper evidence to come back from the commercial break that she went on because at this point, it is feasible that my whole world is crumbling apart.“Wait a minute,the plane Jane is pregnant?” Rhea pronounces in an enquiries tone jolting me out of my state of momentary shock “Brain?” Rhea taps me again when she doesn’t get a reply from me “Are you seeing the same thing that I am seeing on the screen?” She inquires and my face suddenly start to brim with tears because at this point, I just don’t know what to do “Ember? Pregnant?…how?” I try to process, but it doesn’t just seem to add up “Your plane Jane is pregnant for Adrian?” She pronounced like she can’t believe her ears “These peo

I keep my head on the broken steering shaft for a while before suddenly remembering that I was trying to track down Adrian’s location so I take out my phone and launch my snap chat From my Snapchat, I realize that Adrian’s location is around Evergreen resting place, the cemetery that Embers late sister was buried three years ago.I start my car to check impact that my anger issue has on the steering and I realize that the car still drives fine , just that it feels horrible and the horn honks when i turn so everyone thinks i'm honking at them but apart from that , every other thing is fine.I set out for the resting place hoping that the journey there will as smooth as possible and no one will recognize me and put me up on socialMedia because I can’t promise that things won’t get ugly with Adrian .I finally get to the resting place after driving for more than forty five minutes , so I park my car and I head straight to where Embers twin sister was buried three years ago.

/Brian's POV/I storm out of the resting place angrily,heading for my car and driving away while trying to stomach and process the magnitude of Adrian's betrayal only for me to be interrupted by my fathers call so I stop the car to talk to him so that I don’t get myself killed.“Mr kings has been trying to get a hold of you since the scandal broke out but he has not been able to reach you” his assistant, Miss Caleb says on the other side of the phone and I sigh. “What does my father want?” I Ask her so that she goes straight to the point instead of boring me with unnecessary details. “.your father is presently at kings corporation and he wants to have a proper conversation with you concerning everything that is going on “ she informs “ fine…..I will be there as soon as I can” I answer her before hanging up the call.One minute, I was dealing with the shock from the most unexpected news of the year, the next minute, I was dealing with my psycho ex and my back stabbing friend , now I

/Brian’s POV/I flounce out of my father’s study bouncing the door angrily behind me, enraged by the suggestion that he just gave me only to be interrupted by the sound of my phone ringing loudly.I almost fling my phone in anger, but catching a glimpse of the caller ID changes my mind so I decide to pick the call instead.“finally!” Elliot heaves a sigh of relief on the other end of the call as soon as I pick up the call. “where have you been?’ He inquires. “I have been trying to reach you since I got back to silver city and found out about everything that has been going on, but your line has been so busy….” Elliot trails off. “where have you been?” he inquires with concern lacing his voice. “everywhere” I answer him with a deep sigh because at this point, I am way too exhausted to go into the details of my crappy day.“where are you right now?” Elliot inquires“I am in front of our mansion” I inform him“I am also presently at kings’ villa, your mom told me to wait for you in yo

/Brian’s POV/“what was the reason for you guys to come all the way to ruffle my emotions like that” I mumble as I slump on the bed while my mom practically drags my sister out of the room.“hmm, they left quite early” Elliot sighs in relief as he makes his way out of the bathroom with his phone in his hand.“wait a minute…” I pause in shock“you were in there the whole time?” I ask him and he nods with a sly smile playing on his lips.Elliot looks around the room awkwardly before charmingly lifting one eyebrow as he says “I kinda felt that you guys needed a moment so I just excused you”“…….by staying in the bathroom?” I ask looking up and down at him snobbishly.“so the ‘great lengths’ that Elva went to get my location was you?” I ask him intentionally putting air quotes around my words.“ouchhhhhh……………I just exposed myself” Elliot says scratching the back of his head, something that he does when he feels really guilty.“how could you do that to me?” I ask him running my hand throug

/Brian’s POV/“so how did the talk with Eden go?” Elliot inquires as I move toward my bed but I just ignore him as I try to make myself comfortable on the bed.“I noticed that you were quiet majority of the time, and I didn’t hear anything that sounded like a major plan to sabotage your father’s arrangements” he points out making me remember that I was way too engulfed in Eden’s explanation concerning Ember that I completely forgot to bring that up.“so……. what did you guys talk about?” he inquires trotting slowly away from the sitting area and walking towards my bed.“why are you so interested in what we talked about?” I ask dryly barely giving him the attention that he wants.“I am so bored and I will take any form of gossip that comes my way” he says with a smile as he sits at the edge of the king-sized bed.“what about your girlfriend?” I inquire.“she is currently busy” he answers with a sheepish smile.“just because your girlfriend is busy, you want to use me as I rebound” I ask

/Brian’s POV/I go stiff for a moment, with lots of questions bolting in my head but the most obvious and pressing of tem all is ‘what the hell is this double dealer doing in Elliot’s house’. I thought I was the only one shocked to see the betrayer, but after recovering from my state of momentary shock, I realize that he was also more than shocked to see me.Well, who wouldn’t be after I beat him to a pulp to relief my anger the last time we met and I told him that we are now strangers with memories.The thought of leaving Elliot’s house crosses my mind for a moment, but I decide against it because Adrian is the one that is supposed to keep himself miles away from me since he was the one that wronged me.With that consolation, I walked into Elliot’s living and took my seat without saying a word to the double dealer because he doesn’t deserve it.One thing I just find difficult to understand is why Brian will decide to host someone like Adrian in his hose after everything he put me th

After finalizing the issue of the paternity of Embers unborn child with Adrian that was eager to get rid of both Ember and her baby, I dropped Adrian off in front of his hose as thank you for giving his child to me but Elliot refused to ride back with me because he was not in full support of mine and Adrian’s decision, but I know that he just needs time to come around.After making my way out of Adrian’s street, I make my way to silicone valley, my own special spot on the outskirt silver city just to blow off some steam because silicone valley is a place that neither the reporters or any of my family members will think of finding me.Silicone valley is one of the most expensive relaxation spots on the island that has a really reserved atmosphere, and they operate on the basis of membership or extension of an invite by a member to a non-member, provided that the member has made reservations in advance.I actually didn’t really have plans of doing much, the major plan was to just chill,

|Meelah’s POV|I start rounding up the exercise of decluttering my space because this is the first time I am getting back home at the normal closing hour instead of working overtime like I have been doing with Brian, only for my phone to start ringing, so I pause what I am doing to pick up the call.“Hey babes… how are you doing?” Eden says as soon as I pick up the video calls and before I can reply to her, the other girls join the call.“Melanie Caleb… you skipped two girl’s nights without any call nor explanation to justify your actions,” Aurora accuses as soon as she joins the call.“Hmmm,” I sigh deeply.“The past two weeks have been crazy in Kings Corporation, with me trying to stay out of my husband’s ex-girlfriend who tries to sabotage me at any opportunity that she gets, the latest project of Kings Corporation that has been making both Brian and I work overtime because he needs to prove to his father that he can handle the company while I have had to prove to people that I did
Brian Kings and His Substitute Bride Welcome event
|Meelah’s POV|Sunday went by in a blur with my girls showing up at mine and Brian’s house because they were worried sick about me switching off my phone after the incident that happened at the movie premier not only did they just help uplift my mood, but they also mentally prepared me to face the cold world (Kings Corp).It's Monday morning and instead of excitedly walking towards the tall and imposing structure that is standing out against the sky, reaching for the clouds in front of me with the windows arranged in a grid-like pattern in front of me, I am quite nervous but also eager to start work after being away for a while.I park my latest baby (the Tesla that was gifted to me by my father-in-law), then I take out a few of my necessities while clutching my ID badge, my bag, and other necessities, and then head towards the reception desk.I greet the security guard with a friendly smile and I swipe my badge at the entrance turnstile, hearing the satisfying beep that confirms my a
Brian Kings and His Substitute Bride Learning to respect boundaries
|BRIAN’s POV|“Can you stop being difficult and just tell me who the photographer nigga at the movie premier is?” I urge Meelah because her nonchalant attitude is seriously starting to piss me off.“No one important,” she answers, waving the issue like it is nothing important as she focuses on her breakfast.“Photographer nigga is no one important, but you and your sister were fighting over him?” I remark to get a reaction from Meelah, and judging from the way she pauses dramatically from reaching for the baked beans that are a part of the breakfast platter, I know that I must have struck a nerve.“Fighting over him?” she scoffs.“Are you for real right now?” she questions, looking at me dead in the eyes.“How was I minding my business and getting my pictures taken, only for me to get drenched by the torn in my flesh the same things as me fighting over a man?” she expresses painfully and that makes me realize that I must have gone too far.“Fine…. I apologize for my insensitive choice
Brian Kings and His Substitute Bride It's show time
|Meelah’s POV|I should have known that running into RK the previous night was not going to end well or should I say that I should not have unblocked that villain and tried to give him the benefit of doubt by thinking he must have had a valid reason for decamping to the enemies camp, but it was obvious from all indication that RK chose Jayden Conor and Skylar over me because of the money that they offered him, but the question that has been on my mind since yesterday was why RK Is still trying so hard to be in my good graces after everything that happened.To say that I was livid when Skylar tried to mess up my life once again by using RK was an understatement, and even though I had so many unanswered questions for Ryan, I was way too blinded by rage to hear him out, and now that everything ended up blowing out of proportion, I kinda wished that I was patient enough to hear him out so that I can at least get closure and move on with my life.I ended up avoiding Brain after we got home
Brian Kings and His Substitute Bride Sisters clash
|Brian’s POV|After trying to get Meelah familiar with the movie she didn’t look interested in the slightest, probably because this type of movie is not her kind of thing, she stepped out of the cinema to get some fresh air, but she went for a long time.Even though I want to keep enjoying my movie, I have no choice but to step out to check up on Meelah simply because I brought her here and I have to make sure that she has a wonderful experience, or else the aim of bringing her here will be defeated.I stand in front of the event hall, scanning around to see if my eyes can capture Meelah from afar to assure myself that she is fine so that I can return to the movie theater but I see her with a man who is busy taking pictures of her and from the looks of it, I don’t think this is the first time they are meeting because of how he is putting his hands on her to direct each pose he wanted her to strike when he could have just described it tor her or strike the pose instead of touching her
Brian Kings and His Substitute Bride Movie premier saga
MEELAH’S POV|I wasn’t expecting that sly human being to take advantage of the situation by offering to help me if only I agreed to hear him out but I had to agree because I couldn’t let my girl’s efforts be in vain, and instead of sending the driver to get me a random ring, but Brian stepped down from the car himself to get me a ring which made me wonder what he is playing at.Anyway, Brian got me a pretty simple and elegant ring that doesn’t look as complicated as the previous ring and I love it because I think this ring sits my personality more, more so you will barely know that it is a counterfeit ring, so a win is a win for me.We are now at the event venue, and here is Brian stepping out of the car while I am waiting for him to open the door for me because even though I agreed to hear him out, he still has to make up for how miserable and rejected I felt during the week so that I can feel his sincerity.Big Daddy Brian has finally put the gentlemanly teachings he got from his wo
Brian Kings and His Substitute Bride Wedding Ring deal
|Brian’s POV|After racking my brain, thinking of the best way to ask Meelah out to the movie premier, I decided to abandon the responsibility to the butler because I knew for a fact that I was the one whom Meelah had issues with, and she was not the kind of person that will take her anger out on an innocent butler by intentionally making his task difficult for him, and it worked because just when I was driving into kings estate yesterday, I saw Meelah’s driving out.I actually thought of driving out of the estate to block her wherever she was going to have a conversation with her, but for someone who made a conscious effort not to run into me even while we were living under the same roof, I knew better than to try, and thank goodness I decided against it because on getting home, I was informed by the butler that his part of the task was completed.I went about my after-work schedule normally, and while I finally settled down to eat dinner, I got a message from Elva that she had been
Brian Kings and His Substitute Bride First Date
Everyone in this house except for me stayed up all night trying to help with the outfit and everything because my fashion enthusiast friend decided to make an outfit for me from scratch after she found out about the movie premier at the dying minute and she had got her team of designers here as early as 5 am to help with the process of making me an outfit despite my protest that it wasn’t necessary.Brian's sister also showed up with her team of makeup artists, hairstylists, and nail technicians, just to get me dolled up for the event, and I have been sitting here since I took my bath while they dress me up like a doll.“Your bestie wants to talk to you,” Aurora says, handing me her phone hours later after I sat to get my hair, nails, and makeup done without being allowed to check the mirror. “Are you not scared that I will see myself through the camera of the phone?” I question Aurora and that makes Elva block the camera from my view.“I still stand on the existing protocol that I w
Brian Kings and His Substitute Bride Preparation for a red carpet event
\Meelah’s POV\After being made to feel stupid by Brian and like a total failure by my mother-in-law on Wednesday, I needed a way to vent, and the last thing I would have wanted in this life was to put a call through to my girls because I just like me, they had stuff going on in their lives, and it won’t make any sense for me to put everyone in a bad mood just because things were going sideways for me, so I went to mine and Brian’s bedroom to sleep but the more I laid on the bed, everything I could think about was how Brian kickstarted my day by overreacting to the perfume that was supposed to boost my confidence, so I ended up smashing the perfume bottle into the wall hoping it will make feel better but it barely did anything for me.I tried to snap out of the negative emotions that I was feeling so that I could be prepared for the next day’s work, but nothing seemed to be working so I resorted to something that I wouldn’t normally resort to just to escape my problems even if it was t
