Groom For The Day Nobody Wants You
Even the sky wept on the day King George was buried.The heavy clouds opened with a continuous drizzle that started while they were in service by the graveyard.Dressed in black, the people who came to pay their last respects to the well-loved king filled the royal cemetery to the brim and beyond the gate.People tried to hold back their sniffles and cries as the pastor spoke about the eternal home which awaited the righteous.Ayo kept looking at Tanya, who stood rigidly beside her sister-in-law while her bodyguards held umbrellas over them.“I wish she would hold on to me like that,” he thought when he saw the way she held Brianna’s hand tightly.He could see how their shoulders shook occasionally even as they stood strong without making a sound.He wanted to comfort her. He wanted her to turn to him at that time of her life.He wanted to share his grief with her.He had only known George for a little while after all, but still, he couldn’t help but feel the magnitude of the loss.He
Groom For The Day She Chose Him
Just like that, they stayed talking until morning.“I have to go,” she said as the shaft of light brushed the sky.“Okay,” Ayo said even though he had a lot more to say.“Yeah,” she said without disconnecting the call and they both grew quiet again, each listening to the breathing of the other.“I miss you,” Ayo said suddenly. “I wish I could have been there with you. I hope I can help you through this. I want to be there for you.”He heard the catch of her breath before she said in a low tone; “We need to talk. After.”“Okay, but…”“I need to go. The queen… we are having a meeting with the councils of kingsmaker today. They say it's a condolence visit, but I don’t think it is that simple. So, yeah. I need to go. To prepare and stuff.”“Can I come and see you?” Ayo asked hurriedly before she could disconnect the call.“I will be busy,” she said before the call was disconnected.Ayo’s heart grew heavy again as he stared at his phone. At first, it seemed like things were better between t
Groom For The Day A Regent?
“No, I would not.” Five faces turned to look at Tanya in surprise.“Princess, you mean you don’t mind if the title leaves your lineage?” One of the kingsmen asked.“No, she can never say that. My daughter, do you have a fever? I am sure it must be the stress of everything, right?” Dowager Charlotte asked as she gave Tanya a meaningful look.Tanya shook her head and said; “I am fine. My mother is right though. I don’t mean that the title should leave our lineage. What I am saying is that there is another alternative that we are not thinking of.”“What alternative? What other alternative is there, princess?” Another kingmaker asked while Brianna looked at her with interest.“I can’t be queen. I was never meant to rule. George is…was the perfect person for that. Not me.”“But the king is no longer with us, my princess. In the history of our land, we have never had a queen rule before, but time is advancing, and we are willing to allow change too. That is why we wouldn’t mind crowning yo
Groom For The Day Just An Arrangement
“You are Unleashed?” Ayo’s heart leapt as he heard her voice.He turned back with an automatic smile which died immediately as he saw the look on her face while she held his laptop in her hands.He had been buried in his new book throughout the night. He stayed up all night in the study which he had turned into his temporary office, and he just stepped out to clear his head with some fresh air.“You are back,” he said with the excitement he felt about her return still showing in his voice.“Answer my question,” she said in a deadpan tone while looking at him. When he hesitated, she looked at the laptop in her hand and back at him, “When did you even get a laptop? What else are you hiding from me?” she said in a raised voice.Ayo looked away from her.He blamed himself for not closing his laptop before coming out. He didn’t want her to find out like that. He was going to tell her after all.“Answer me!” she shouted at him and that surprised him.Even though her staff were always so q
Groom For The Day When A Lady Says No
“Give me your best,” he said to the bartender as he sat on the stool.“You’ve got it, boss,” said the bartender. In a few seconds, he had slid a drink in front of him.Ayo took the frothy brew without hesitation and downed it immediately.The burn made his eyes water and numbed him a bit. Good.He slid the glass towards the bartender again. “Keep it coming.”“Anything you want, boss,” the bartender said right before he gave him another glass.Ayo downed it again, and he could finally feel his racing heart slowing down. Even better.He slid the glass across again, “More,”The bartender gave him a look even as he filled up the glass again.The glass was halfway to his mouth when he heard, “Hey handsome, fancy meeting you here.”“Get lost,” he said automatically before he downed his drink again.“How rude. You are lucky that I take no offence.”“Yeah, lucky me.” Ayo thought in annoyance as he turned towards the lady who was dragging the next stool closer. “I said…”She turned to him, and
Groom For The Day Wouldn't Forgive Myself
“Guess who I found drowning his sorrow in a bar, princess? Are you a sucker for punishment? Believe me, I could easily cause another scandal for you if that is what you want. You owe me. Again.”Tanya sighed as she looked at the hotel address that Vera had added to that message. She set the phone aside and looked at the light dancing through the wineglass she was twirling in her hand.“I hate this,” she thought with a sigh “I can’t believe I am feeling this way because of a man I have known for less than three months.”She set the glass aside without touching the wine she had been twirling since.She went to the window and threw the blinds aside.The stars in the sky seemed to mock her just as the mesmerising lights of the city twinkled at her from a far distance.Everything reminded her of him.Despite her better judgment, she had watched him leave the house, telling herself that she did not care where he went or what happened to him.If only it had been that simple.Everywhere she
Groom For The Day It Is Her
“Princess, what’s going on?” Meg’s alarmed tone jerked Tanya from the fitful sleep she had fallen into just shy of dawn.She opened her eyes slowly and felt Meg’s mint scent wrap around her just as her worried face showed in front of her.“What’s wrong?” Meg asked in concern.“Nothing. What? Why are you here at this time?” Tanya tried to think with her sluggish mind.“It’s past nine, princess,” Meg answered as her brows furrowed deeper with concern. “Please, get off the floor first.” Meg helped her off the floor to the couch and Tanya sat heavily as her head finally cleared enough for her to remember.“Dios mio. You have been crying? What happened?” Meg said. Then she looked towards the staircase before she lowered her voice, “Is it…your husband?”Tanya shook her head and regretted the action immediately, “He is not here,” she said through clenched teeth.“What? Why?” Meg asked in surprise.“I sent him away.”“But…”“My head is killing me. At least get me some coffee and maybe some m
Groom For The Day What Misunderstanding?
Spending hours in the hotel gym had become Ayo’s routine in the past few days.He needed something to numb his mind from its raging thoughts.His body was in overdrive, and it felt like he would go crazy if he didn’t do something with it.His muscles bulged as he strained under the punishing heavy weights that he had piled on.He could see the looks the gym attendants and the others around gave him when he kept putting on the weights.That was after he finished with kickboxing and the battle ropes.Arms burning and chest heaving, it took him a moment before he realised that the surrounding men had turned their attention elsewhere.He glanced over casually and swore as his arms turned to jelly and the weight almost smashed his toes when they dropped.“Sir, are you alright?!” the attendant asked as he hurried towards him.“Huh?!” Ayo looked blankly at the attendant’s worried face and back at his feet. “Yeah, yeah. I am fine,” he said as he waved his hands at the attendant and reached fo
