Emma
The makeup artist wore my wedding gown on me and went behind my back to help with the zipper, I couldn't help the smile on my face"Ma you look so gorgeous in this wedding gown, it hugs your body tightly bringing out all your pretty curves, your body is well set" She complimented
"Thank you" I smiled
I was so happy and excited, finally my strongest wish is about to come to pass, my love for Charles started the first day I set my eyes on him at the Hills company, I told my parents about my feelings for Charles and they said they could fulfill my wish, I was so happy and hoped that Charles would accept my parent's proposal, and finally he did accepted my proposal, Charles parents said that the marriage will help and strengthen the growth of the companies, I was so happy that Charles accepted my marriage proposal, and since then we've been talking and going out together as couples, as the day passes by, my love for Charles continues to grow massively…..he showers me with praise all the time and never fail to tell me how lucky he is to have me
I'm twenty-five, and I can't wait to get married to Charles and be his wife and take care of him, that's just my simple dream, my parents have a multi-million naira company but I don't have interest in any of that, my stepsister has always fought me thinking I came with my mother to take her father's wealth away from her but the truth is, my mother got married to her father five years ago, and their marriage was based on love and not about money.
After waiting for so long I'm finally getting married to my dream man today, but my stepsister is nowhere to be found, even if she hated me, she could have at least been around for her father's sake, I guess I'll finally leave so she can have the peace of mind she has always wanted, but her attitude won't stop me from loving or caring for her.
"Oh my baby you look so gorgeous!" My mother complimented happily as she walked into the room,
"Thank you, Mother," I said with a smiley face, I was already dressed up for the wedding
"How do you feel about today?" My stepfather asked as he walked in with a smile on his face, I looked at his face and was close to tears.
"I'm so happy father, I can't believe I'm finally getting married."
"Shhh…don't cry my darling so you don't ruin your makeup," Mom said patting my face and I nodded
"Father..?" I called.
"Yes dear"
"Hennesy, isn't she coming to my wedding today?" I asked and both my stepfather and my mother exchanged glances before they returned their gaze to me
"Don't worry about Hennesy, the important thing is your happiness, you need to smile okay?" My stepfather said caressing my face
"Hmm" I nodded
"Don't let anything ruin your happiness, my dear"
As I walked down the aisle with my stepfather holding me by my right arm, I couldn't help the butterflies in my tummy. I could literally see my dream coming through right before my eyes. I've always dreamed of getting married to the man of my dreams and having my dream wedding, and now it's happening to me. What could be more special than that?
The hall was filled with influential people of different caliber, slow music was playing, while the choir of singers smoothly played the violin. The whole place was decorated in all white just like I wanted, giving the ambiance a heavenly feeling.
I finally got to Charles and my stepfather handed me over to him. I can't help but notice that Charles' handsome face looked pale. I became worried immediately.
Is he okay?
What if he's sick?
"If anybody has anything to say, please raise your hand or forever hold your peace!" The priest announced, I looked at the crowd but nobody stood up,
"You may now exchange your……" The priest was suddenly interrupted by Charles who raised his hand
"Charles, are you okay?" I asked thinking maybe he was not feeling well, he ignored me and turned to the priest
"I'm sorry but I don't love her and do not want to get married to her"
The crowd started roaring and began to whisper among themselves
I was caught off guard, I wanted to talk but became short of words, I blinked my eyes twice to make sure I wasn't dreaming, I pinched myself but heck! All this is real, how could Charles do this to me in front of all these people? How could he humiliate me this much, what did I do to deserve this?
He suddenly left my side and walked up to my stepsister who stood by the side, I was shocked when he wrapped his hand around her waist,
"I want your sister and not you Emma," He said with no remorse, I staggered on my step and nearly fell, reality hit me so hard, Charles and my stepsister planned this together, they want to see me broken but I won't give them what they want.
I built up the courage and looked through the crowd, I saw a young man standing gorgeously, I didn't care to know who he was, I walked up to him looked at his beautiful gray orbs, I stood on my tiptoes, and whispered in his ear
"Please accept my ring and save my face, we can divorce later"
I thought he would say no, but was surprised when he pulled out his right hand
"The ring?" He smiled, I nervously inserted the ring on his finger, he took mine and inserted it in my finger. I walked up to Charles and my stepsister
"I will make the both of you pay for what you did to me today"
I locked hands with the stranger, as we walked to the priest and took our vows
"I pronounce you two husband and wife you may now kiss your bride" The crowd were all staring with confused look including my parents they had a sad and disappointing look on their faces
I looked at Charles and my stepsister and they were all staring at me with a mockery look, I smiled and pulled the stranger's face down to my height without warning
I kissed him, I thought he would push me away, but was more surprised when he pulled me closer and deepened the kiss
Emma After the kiss, the stranger held me by my right arm as we started walking out of the hall, the crowd were all quiet gazing at us, my parents had a sad and disappointing look on their faces especially my mother, I know she would be so heartbroken right now but hers is nothing compared to mine, we got to where Charles stood with my stepsister, I smiled proudly and gave the both of them the "Fuck you" Sign, making sure my ring is visible for them to see, I felt so proud of myself, even though I was heartbroken at the moment, I was happy I didn't give them the impression they were looking for, I was so fucking proud of myself and all thanks to this stranger We got outside, and I was surprised when up to ten black Limousine pulled up before us with a white Rolls-Royce in the front row, different guards all came down from the cars and stood by the door side, I was confused "What's happening?" I asked looking at the stranger, but instead, he smiled and me "Let's go." He said, walki
Emma After realizing that I just got married to the country's most popular multi-billionaire out of craziness, my mind has been restless, I've not been at peace, I have not even removed my wedding gown, I don't even have any of my belongings here, not even my phone to talk to my parents cause I know they would be worried sick about me right now, but the truth is I don't even want to talk to them at the moment.I'm so devastated and confused that I don't even know what to think, the fact that my step-sister and fiance betrayed me or the fact that I got married to a stranger who turned out to be the most feared man in the country, which one should I be more worried about,I refuse to follow Mr. Valmore to his room, I still can't accept the fact that I got married to him out of the blue and he even wants me to settle in his room, why is he even comfortable with all of this, Standing on the balcony and gazing at the beautiful city of New York, this was not how I expected my wedding nigh
Emma I rubbed my eyes and stretched my body. I've never slept like this in my entire life. This bed feels so soft and comfortable, wait…..where am I? I flashed my eyes open immediately,"Ahhhhhh……!" I screamed in shock and nearly stumbled down from the bed when I saw the number of maids that were lined up in front of me. I tried to remember what happened yesterday but the last thing I remembered was crying on the balcony and the rest was history."What's happening, where am I?" I asked the maids in confusion, they all smiled amongst themselves before one finally spoke up,"My Lady you're in your room""My room?" I asked, pointing at myself and looking around the massive room, which was decorated with diamonds."Yes my Lady, this room belongs to you and Mr Valmore""What...!" I screamed and jumped down from the bed, they all step back in fear, jeez I can't believe that fucking stranger is almost driving me insane "I'm sorry but you have to repeat what you said, do you mean Mr. Valmor
Emma I sat down as my face was getting all glammed up, a golden dress laid perfectly on the bed with the expensive customized jewelry that was by the side. The glittering heels that was made with diamond and the diamond purse I will use is already set aside waiting for me, all of this was specially made by Mr Valmore Italian company making me wonder how wealthy he is, cause all of this that I'm going to wear today can actually buy five mansions, Sometimes I wonder why rich people like spending money like it fell from a tree, cause the truth is I don't mind looking simple, the most important is you look good you actually don't have to wear the most expensive clothes in the world to look expensive.Mr Valmore el-Alfa will be making his first public appearance today at the sunshine lunch which is held by the most prestigious businessmen and women all over the country, and this is the first time that Mr Valmore will be appearing in public, everybody is so anxious to meet the ruthless mu
Emma I couldn't contain the happiness and fulfillment I felt today after giving Charles a taste of his own medicine. I felt so filled if only they knew that this is just the beginning of what I planned to do to them. I still cannot forget the horrified look on their faces, they didn't expect my comeback to be this hot….I mean after dumping me at the altar he must have expected me to cry and wail for his pity, but then….the reverse was the case cause I ended up getting married to the richest billionaire in the country and is backed fully for revenge.I know that the news is all over the headlines, "the wife of the almighty Billionaire Valmore El-Alfa disgraced and claimed access to her ex-lover's company" What a good way to surprise my enemies……How dare Charles think that after he fooled me and caused me pain I'll let him live peacefully, he must be dreaming to think I'm that weak, after having me have several abortions, he thinks he will let him off easily? If only he knows how much
Emma After my argument with Mr Valmore, I haven't gone back to the room since then, it's almost dark in the evening, the weather is windy and calm. I'm sitting on the edge of the pool with my two legs deep into the water, my mind flashed back to the little argument I had with Mr Valmore and how I told him that I would never love him.A lot has really happened today, first it was the sunshine luncheon and then here back at home, it was my argument with Mr Valmore, I didn't plan on getting angry with him is just that whenever I look at him the event that happened years ago keeps flashing to my memory and they make me hate him so much, ever since I came to this mansion I've never slept in the same room with him every night Ieave to sleep in one of the guest room and even though Mr Valmore notices he had never questioned me for that and I like that he respect my decision cause I can not imagine sleeping on the same bed with the man that killed my father.Flashback It all happened eight
Emma It was already close to bedtime by the time I came back from strolling with Lady Alfa, "Goodnight my dear and have a nice sleep""Good night to you Lady Alfa," I said with a smile and watched her walk to her room upstairs. I still can not believe what Lady Alfa told me, she said that Mr Valmore has been through a lot in life but then I'm wondering how a spoilt brat like him who have never known what hard life is has been through a lot, could it be that Lady Alfa is lying to me? If not, what could it be that happened to Mr Valmore?As I climbed upstairs to our room, I can't help but wander in thought. I walked inside the room and was surprised to see Mr Valmore already sleeping. I walked closer to him and sat on the bed, looking at his peaceful face. I can't help but wonder if I was really harsh on him, was he moody as Lady Alfa said? How can he be so handsome even when he's sleeping, if not for my hatred towards him I would have said he is an angel, slowly I brought my hand cl
Emma I never knew the surprise Mr Valmore was talking about was a boat cruise, he booked a whole boat for just the two of us, and this is my first time on a boat and it felt so good, it's relaxing and calming. The soothing wind and the view of the sea, I never knew this was a kind of relaxation, it could serve as a therapy for relieving stress "Here…." Mr Valmore said as he handed me a glass of ain't after which he took a seat opposite mine "Do you like the view?" He asked with a proud look on his face, I smiled and nodded my head, "This place is good""I built it when I discovered I needed a way to relieve my stress""So you own this place?" I asked with raised eyebrows and he nodded sipping from his wine, I can't imagine how much money this man owned "Your family must be so wealthy""Everything comes with a price," He said with a shrug focusing his attention on the sea, what does he mean by everything comes with a price, "Tell me why do you want to take your revenge on Charles
EmmaI opened my eyes but the only thing I could see is darkness, I was lying on something soft, I felt my hand and it was tied but my legs are freed, the last thing I can remember is answering call and then someone blocked my nose from behind, and everything blacked out.I tried to break free from the robe that was tied to my hand but it felt so tight and was almost bruising my hand“Somebody help?” “Anybody here, please help me!” I screamed louder, I can't even see anything, I don't even know where I am, I feel so hungry and tasty.“Please somebody help me!” I yelled almost close to tears, “Stop yelling…..” I heard that familiar voice beside me“Ch…Charles, what have you done to me, why did you take me to”“Fuck….it feels so good to know that you never forgot the sound of my voice”“Charles please take me out of here, ease I don't want to be here”“Stop screaming no one will hear your voice, I conquered death just to be here with you and here you are calling for another person, te
Mr. ValmoreI was on the call with my Emma when suddenly I began to hear struggling and everything went off. I took my car key immediately and began driving home like someone who lost his mind, I don't know why but if anything ever happened to Emma I'm going to lose my mind. I kept cursing in anger when suddenly I got to the busy road and there was so much traffic. I hit the steering in anger and horn the car but the traffic was too jam-packed and if I continued to wait there then I might not be out in an hourI checked my time and the mansion was about two minutes from there, I jumped out of the car immediately and took to my heels as I began to run so fast and the only thing on my mind is Emma and our baby, what could have gone so wrong, I was so exhausted but I wasn't going to stopAfter running for close to fifteen minutes, I finally got to the mansion, I was breathing and panting so hard, I ran inside the mansion but there was no sign of her in the living room, I ran upstairs to
EmmaSince my pregnancy was almost due for delivery, Mr Valmore insisted that I stop going to the office, he said I should stay at home till I give birth for the babies sake and for my protection too, I was all alone in the house with just the maids and the guards, Lady Alfa has been keeping me company these past few days but she recently traveled out for a business meeting and my mother cannot come because she's now working as a CEO in my stepfathers company and she has been keeping a close eye on my father's, cause he tends to think a lot these days, ever since what happened to Hennessy in the prison it was a miracle that my stepfather did not lose his mind, but Hennessy has been missing and no one has seen or heard of her, he's greatly worried about her. I was home alone hungry and craving for someone to talk to but since there's no one, I have no other choice but to keep myself company and be strong for myself. I walk down the stairs to get myself an ice cream I was almost at th
HennessyI woke up today feeling so much energy and happiness, I wanted to know what it's like to go fishing in the river so I woke up early and I plan to follow Damien to the river today. I hurried with my bath as I found something comfortable to throw on. After which I left the room. I got to the mini living room and sat down as I began to wait for him.He normally goes early morning fishing with the neighbors, I want to experience the weather and enjoy the boat, I have been wishing to do that ever since I got here but I didn't have the courage, It took time for me to gather up courage and now I don't want to miss it for anythingI was still sitting and waiting for him while I was slowly falling asleep, as my head dangled in the air but the creaking sound of the door made my eyes flung open immediately, he paused on his steps as soon as he saw me sitting in the living room“Good morning” He greeted scratching the back of his neck “I was waiting for you” I muttered anxiously“For me
HennesyEver since I woke up that day and saw myself beside that man, my life has never been the same. He's the most beautiful man I have ever met in my entire life, he saved me from drawing that day by giving me a mouth-to-mouth reputation and even though I was unconscious I still cannot forget the kiss. I don't know what a fine man like him is doing living in an area like that, it was a small community filled with poor people that lived peacefully and were happy with their lives. This is the most peaceful people I have ever met in my entire life. The amount of happiness and love in this community is driving me crazy even though everybody is not rich, they still live happy lives.The children are always playing beside the river banks, and the parents will be seen fishing in the river, some old grannies are seen outside chatting with each other, while some people bring out their local TV for kids to watch the latest shows, even though everybody here does not have much they still live
EmmaEver since it was reported this morning that Charles was stabbed and died in prison but his corpse has been missing, I can't help but to think that his case was so similar to Hennesy, could it be that Charles did what Hennesy did? I don't know what to think cause with Charles everything is possible, I’ve been more worried cause I have not heard from Hennesy either, it's almost driving me crazy, she's supposed to be careful wherever she is cause I can feel it in my gut that Charles is not dead, people like Charles cannot die so easily, something's off about this whole scenario, the police already placed Charles pictures wanted in all over the country, with Charles out there in the city I can tell that nobody is safe not even my family,After experiencing life in the prison I already know that Charles is going to be ten times more cruel than he was before, I just cannot wait for all of this to be over so we can all have our peaceful life back.I tried so hard to focus on the email
CharlesEver since I made my way out of that prison and woke up amongst the dead I have been hiding in secret waiting for the rumors about my death to die completely before I can start my search for Hennesy, I must say it's all thanks to Henessy for telling me about her plans that was the only way I made it out if the prison, if not for her brilliant plans I would probably be stuck in the prison by now.Just the way she came to find me first as soon as she got out of prison I want to be the first person to find her too, I cannot wait to surprise her and show her that I’m still alive, even with one ear and one eye I still went to jail but all thanks to her graceful plan I made it out of the prison, Fuck! I cannot wait to see her reaction when she realizes that I was never dead. All the pain she made me go through. I promise her to feel the double of it. I'm a very generous person and I know how to keep my promises.Ever since I escaped from the prison I come out every night time just
CharlesI have been in coma for three months, why didn't these damn policemen allow me to die peacefully, who the fuck asked them to have my ass, and now that I woke up the first thing they did is to push me into the prison, they already sentence me to thirty years imprisonment even when I was in coma, why didn't they allow me to just die in peace, it's not surprising that non of my family members even asked of me, I have always promised myself that I rather die than step my feet into the prison wall but now that I already found myself in prison, they should get ready because I promise myself to get out of here within two months all thanks to Hennesy that thought me about the drug she took, that's the worst mistake she made, telling me about her escape, now I cannot wait to find a way to get myself out of this damn prisonI have lost one eye and one ear, but that's a motivation that I have enemies that will pay for what they did to me most especially Hennesy, she was the reason why al
EmmaI opened my eyes and the first thing my eyes met was a white ceiling“Emma?” I heard a familiar voice and turned to my side to see a blurry face, it took seconds before my sight cleared and I can now see the face properly“Mr Valmore?” “Emma thank God you're awake, I was so worried” He hugged me so right that I can barely breathe but I can understand that he's so happy so I let him“What happened to me? How did I end up here?”“You didn't remember?” He asked but I shook my head negatively“You were shot from the back so you passed out” And just like that the memories of everything began to flash into my head, how I took a bullet for Hennesy and told her to run away before I passed out“Is it Hennesy that shot you?” Mr Valmore asked but I shook my head negatively “Charles did”“Oh” He exhaled heavily, but then my mind flashed as something, my eyes traveled down to my tummy immediately as I wrapped my arm around it in a secure manner“My baby, how is my baby?!” I asked in a panic
