/Brian’s POV/I leave the bar for the hotel room because I categorically mentioned to Meelah that she shouldn’t leave the room nor tell anyone about what happened, but leaving Meelah alone in that room is going to really creep her out.I make my way down to Crowne Plaza just to get to Meelah in time, and when I finally make it to the room, I ring the doorbell but she doesn't answer, I also dial her number more than five times but she doesn’t pick up.“It can’t be that Meelah passed out in the creepy room out of fear, right?” I stop to consider, while trying to paint a picture of how creepy the room must look according to the description that she gave me earlier“I need to ask Elva if she knows how I can quickly get a spare key card to Meelah’s room” I mutter as I pick up my phone to call ElvaI pace around the front of Meelah’s room while dialing Elva’s number, but she is not picking up.My father runs a hotel, and I know where and how exactly to get a spare key card, but that will be
/Brian’s POV/ “Shall we?” she inquires and I let out an awkward smile. “shall we?” I ask her confused “shall we be on our way to see your dad like you sister just informed?” she answers with irritation evident in the tone of her voice “when was there a we in the equation” I question her and she stops for a moment to probably process my question. “you agreed to see my father not me so stop trying to impose your decision on me” I caution her.“Are you planning to avoid your father forever” she answers with the look on her face suddenly softening “I don’t plan to ignore the old man forever, I just plan do ignore him for as long as I can” I answer her because I know that my father is literally going to kill me for what I did earlier today because no one goes against Xander kings and comes out unscratched so if I was asked if I regret what I did? My answer will be a resounding NO.“I have successfully gotten myself out of the alliance between the kings and the Weston’s for life.In
/Meelah’s POV/“Since your mother is out of the room, I guess we can have a proper conversation now” Mr. kings speaks up as he gestures to the seat in front of him for us to be seated, but I hesitate because I am not sure if that Is the right thing to do or not but Brian pulls me to the seat, and we are both seated faces to face with Mr. Kings.“it is funny how you had unwavering confidence to noy only substitute your friend as the bride, but you were able to pull through the whole ceremony, so why are you acting like I am going to swallow you alive” Mr. Kings cackles and the twisted feeling in my stomach multiplies knowing“The marriage is done, you guys are married already and there is no need crying over a spilt milk, but I want to ask if you thought this marriage through before going ahead to marry Brian?” Mr. Kings inquires looking into my eyes with an emotion that I can’t place.“Wait a minute,,,,,,,,”“This scenario right here is not following the script that I wrote in my head
/Brian’s POV/I won’t say that I saw the fact that my father was going to accept Meelah with open hands coming, I was just thinking that he wasn’t going to punish her severely because he has a soft spot for her, but in this case, he didn’t only accept her as his daughter in law, but as his own daughter.Also, when my father mentioned that I could move out of Kings villa into one of the houses in the kings estate, I could not believe my ears because I have been begging my father to allow me move out of the house{kings Villa} for three years now but he didn’t heed my request because he claimed he wanted one big and happy family, but today, he broke those rules for Meelah just because he feels that she won’t be comfortable with the idea of living as a live-in daughter in law.I don’t mind that my father is giving Meelah preferential treatment because what she did for her friend today has earned her a lot of respect from me, more so she will go through hell if she had to live under the sa
/Meelah’s POV/I clench my fist in anger as I walk away from Mr. and Mrs. Kings room, silently praying that I won’t be having any major interactions with Mrs. kings because that woman is all shades of scary, then since we won’t be living under the same roof with Brian’s parents, I don’t have to worry myself about wanting to fit into how an ideal daughter in law should behave because I am not cut out for these wifely duties at all.I can’t believe that it has been less than 24 hours that I got married, but I am more than exhausted already. I think the best thing for me to do at this point will be to go to bed and then deal with my problems tomorrow.“Goodness gracious!” I suddenly exclaim.“I got caught up in all the wedding activities that I completely forgot to ask about how my baby is doing” I mentally chastise myself as I take out my phone to talk to Aurora since it was with help of her boyfriend that we were able to send Eden to the hospital without being found out.I dial Aurora'
/Meelah’s POV/I wake up from my deep sleep to the sound of my phone buzzing loudly.Half-conscious, I get my hand out of the comfortable duvet as I started searching the bed side drawer frantically as my phone's persistent ringing delved into my brain.I didn’t want to open my eyes because I was scared that the sleep was going to clear off my face, so I silently hoped that the caller would stop calling as I knocked a few things over, trying to trace my phone.I found the phone and I took it closer to my face to see if the call was worth picking or not despite how blurry my vision is.“G Mama” I pronounce half asleep, almost swiping right on the caller ID to pick the call but on recapitulating who it is, my eyes widened in horror, and the sleep completely cleared off my face.“G mama?” I pronounced as I quickly dump my phone on the bed side as if it burnt me so that I won’t mistakenly pick her call. I sit up on the bed and watch the phone ring, unsure of what to do.I am in a dilemma
\Meelah’s POV\“Melanie Caleb!”“ How could you?” I mentally chastise myself.Staying in the same room with another man is bad enough, how could you forget to lock the door” I scold myself again as I look in the direction of the door and I realize that I still didn’t bolt the door.“You really need to look out for yourself more” I mumble as I walk towards the door to bolt it.After locking the door, I look around the room and I find my box carefully placed in one corner, so I take out the last outfit that Eden prepared to travel back to silver city in, which is an orange sweatpants and a white crop top which I was not going to be such a bad idea since I was going to be travelling back to silver city with my girls.Normally, I am not really the type to wear clothes that will expose too much skin, but according to Eden’s well laid plan, she was going to show up at the airport in crop top and sweatpants to piss her mother-in-law off, and she begged me to travel with mine so that we could
/Brian’s POV/After leaving the room that my own sister kicked me out of, I located the bridal chamber that Elva didn’t want to shut up about.when I got into the room, my things were arranged the same way I arranged them in my previous room, so it was easy for me to freshen up and change into something comfortable.After freshening up, the event of the Bride twist replayed in my mouth and all I could say was “dammmnn!!’’ Because I didn’t see it coming at all, and up on till this present moment, it still doesn’t feel real.While I was still trying to process and reprocess the events that happened during the day, I got a message from Elva that Meelah was in the room that I was kicked out of, insisting to see Eden.I didn’t find it strange that Meelah went over to see her best friend, but for some reason Elva didn’t want her to spend a few moment with the friend that she sacrificed so much for.I told Elva to just leave both Meelah and her Bestie to have their moment, but my sister told
