What exactly happened

THIRD PERSON’S POV

“Where is Zara? Where is my bride?” Frederick exclaimed in shock, bewildered by the unexpected turn of events. How did this even happen? He wondered, grappling with the surreal situation.

When his supposed bride approached, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss. Initially, the wedding gown caught his attention—when did Zara change the dress? But then he noticed the hairstyle; it was the same style as Zara’s. So he brushed it off as nothing.

His assistant rushed over to him and whispered in a hushed tone, “Sir, your sister just called to inform you that Zara ran away.”

“How is that possible?” Frederick questioned, his voice matching the discreet tone.

“I don’t know about that, but your dad said you should go ahead and kiss your new bride. People shouldn’t notice that something went wrong; it’ll affect the company,” the assistant said, making Frederick sigh. He glanced at Rosaline, who was staring at him. ‘Was she blind not to have seen that he wasn’t her groom,’ he thought in annoyance.

With a touch of frustration, he roughly pulled Rosaline into a brief kiss that barely lasted five seconds. As they parted, Rosaline shot him a glare and mouthed, “Is it like you want another slap?”

“Why on earth did you impersonate my bride?” Frederick asked, irritation lacing his tone as he drove in his car with Rosaline, heading home.

“Impersonate which bride? I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Rosaline replied, her confusion evident.

“If you didn’t impersonate Zara, then why the heck did you marry me? You can’t seriously claim you mistook me for someone else.”

“Weren’t you sent by Mr. Wright?” Rosaline asked, still trying to piece things together.

“I don’t know any Mr. Wright. Will you stop this madness and tell me why you pretended to be my bride? Where did you hide her?”

“I don’t…” Rosaline trailed off when realization dawned on her.

“Wait, if you don’t know Mr. Wright, does that mean he didn’t send you to be his stand-in?” She asked, her eyes widening in surprise.

“Quit the act and tell me where Zara is,” Frederick demanded, but Rosaline seemed lost in her thoughts, deaf to his words.

“Do... does that mean I married the wrong person?” she wondered aloud, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Hey, drop the act; your tears won’t move me. Tell me where my bride is.” But Rosaline wasn’t paying attention to him.

“What’s going to happen to my mum’s company... today is the deadline,” she murmured, tears streaming down her cheeks.

“I failed, I failed you, Mum… I couldn’t protect your most prized possession; I’m so sorry, Mum.” She broke down in tears.

Frederick watched her cry; her earlier confused expression now seemed genuine as tears streamed down her face. ‘Maybe she had truly ended up marrying him by accident,’ his mind speculated.

“Hey, stop crying and tell me how you ended up at my wedding venue.”

Rosaline lifted her head to meet his gaze. ‘He seemed wealthy,’ she thought. Maybe he could help clear her debt. Wiping away her tears, she recounted the story from her stepbrother using the company as collateral to the moment her supposed groom revealed his sudden business trip.

“Please, you have to save my mum’s company. I’ll do anything you ask of me,” she pleaded.

Frederick was lost in thought. If she had accidentally married him, does that mean Zara ran away? But why would she do that?

“What exactly happened between Zara and my sister?” Frederick pondered, curiosity dancing in his eyes as the tangled web of their stories unraveled.

    THIRD PERSON’S POV“Hey, are you even listening to me?” Rosaline asked, growing impatient as Frederick remained lost in thought. He had been calling Zara repeatedly, but her phone seemed permanently switched off. With no response from him, Rosaline decided to take matters into her own hands and pinched his arm to snap him back to reality.“Don’t touch me,” Frederick snapped sternly.“I’ll see what I can do about your so-called company... but first, I need to find out why my Zara ran away.”“But today is the deadline,” she stubbornly insisted, earning a glare of annoyance from Frederick.“Listen, we are not friends, nor are we acquainted, so becoming my wife doesn’t mean you should speak to me anyhow. This marriage is just an accident, and we’ll be divorcing soonest,” he said, making Rosaline clench her fist. Her hands were aching to slap him, but she couldn’t. She didn’t want to jeopardize the chance of reclaiming her mum’s company. Throughout the ride, she kept her mouth shut but occa

Did you do that?” Frederick inquired as soon as the call connected.“Yes sir, I did,” the voice from the other line promptly replied.“So what did you find out?” Frederick queried.After a few seconds of fumbling from the other side, he finally replied:“Her name is Rosaline Robinson; she’s 23. She has jet black hair, an oval face, eyeballs are black, heart-shaped lips, and…”“Isaac,” Frederick interjected, making him trail off.“Ye-yes, sir,” he answered.“I need important details.”“Alright, sir_,” he said. A few seconds later, he began again:“Her wedding was on the same day as yours and the same venue as well. She thought you were sent to represent her groom, so she married you, and now she’s your wife. Soon you’ll have children toge….”“That’s enough, Isaac. Just email e

    MILLS COMPANY "I have been thinking of reasons why Zara disappeared on our wedding day. Honestly, it's slowly eating me up. I feel like I did something wrong. I just don't get it, Victor, I honestly don't," Frederick poured out his emotions to his best friend."You don't have to beat yourself too much over it. You were the best boyfriend to her, so if she decided to leave on your wedding day, I do not think it's your fault. Stop blaming yourself.""But how could she leave without a trace in just one day? I have been trying to find her, but I somehow always end up at a dead end. I might go crazy soon if I don't find her," he said looking vulnerable."What if she does not want to be found?" Victor asked."What do you mean?""The fact that she disappeared without a trace in just a day, is already enough proof that she doesn't want to be found. I think you should move on with your life." Victor encouraged him."I don't know Vic, my heart hurts, I don't think I'll be able to live without h

    Rosaline stormed to her room in anger. First, it was her dad's witch, now it's Yvonne. Why were there a lot of people who are out to torment her life? She wondered. On getting to her room, she fell flat on the bed. Honestly, she was exhausted, this whole stuff is taking a toll on her."I need to have a serious discussion with Frederick when he comes back, my company is now safe, I don't see any reason why we should be together. This marriage was all an accident and I bet he can not wait to divorce me," she told herself as she undressed. After getting rid of her clothes, she wrapped herself in a towel and went off to the bathroom to shower. Rosaline was toweling her body dry after showering when her phone rang. Who could be calling me she wondered. She wasn't expecting any call. She picked up her phone, and on seeing the caller, she smiled widely and then answered the call."Bitch, I thought you'd forgotten about me," the caller said."I'm sorry Sonia, a lot has been going on, I couldn

    Zara sat on the floor inside a dimly lit room, which was filled with the foul stench of cigarettes and alcohol, Anger visible on her face, as she puffed out the cigarette smoke. A creaking sound is heard, as the half-damaged door of the room is opened and a male figure walked in."Took you long enough to get here," Zara said, without bothering to look at him."I had a lot of business to settle, unlike you who does nothing but stay inside a room all day long," a husky voice replied to her.Zara picked up a small pocket knife that was lying beside her and angrily threw it at the man, but he effortlessly dodged it, making her grit her teeth."If only that bitch didn't threaten to reveal my secret I won't have to sit here all day nor will I listen to your nonsense.""Your foolishness made you get caught," he said. Zara turned around and gave him a long hard glare."Easy there Z, I did not come here to fight with you today, I'm here to discuss a way forward. Since you've been caught, we nee

    NEXT MORNING "You really think you can threaten me and go scot-free," Zara asked Hailey over the phone. Hailey had woken up to the call of a private number, and on picking up, she realized that it was Zara. And Zara had threatened her immediately."I don't know what gave you the nerve to call me. When I told you to stay away from my family, your dumb brain couldn't figure out that I'm included", Hailey said, causing Zara to fist her hands in anger."You think you're safe after threatening me?" Zara asked in an intimidating tone, but Hailey wasn't shaken at all."You know I can track down your location with one phone call. It would cost me nothing to put you in your place, but I don't want my brother to get hurt. Make sure you stay hidden forever, if my brother finds you, I'll expose everything to him. And the next time you call me on the phone to threaten me again. I'll make sure to remind you that I'm a Mills. And I assure you that you won't like it.""Do not think you've won Hailey

I mean the company is already in his name, so why don't he take up the role of a CEO," Rosaline's stepmom coaxed her husband. Both had just woken up, and she requested to have a discussion with him."You do realize that Rosaline has sacrificed a lot for the development of that company," he questioned her.Martha rolled her eyes then replied."She's now married, and her new family is a billionaire family, so why should she continue to work in our small company? Ace should take over the company, while She should begin to work for her new family and generate more opportunities to expand our company.""Now that you say it like that, it's quite convincing. However, I will need some time to think about it," he replied. He got off the bed and entered the bathroom to do his morning business.

    Frederick stood beside Rosaline, whose eyes were closed. She appeared to be in a deep sleep. The door to the room clicked open and Ashton entered."I know you hate being around her, you can leave I will watch over her," Ashton told him.Frederick looked at him for a few seconds, before exiting the room. Ashton sat on the space beside Rosaline, his gaze lowered to her face. She looks so beautiful in her sleep, he thought. He moved his hand to her face and began to caress it, his eyes closed, as he did this. Rosaline felt a hand continuously touching her face, she immediately opened her eyes, only to find out that it was Ashton."What the heck of you think you are doing?" She asked.Ashton was startled, his eyes snapped open. He opened his mouth to talk, then closed it. He was speechless. He averted his gaze from her. "Are you…" Rosaline tried to say but paused when she recalled something. She looked at her body, for signs of injury. But there was none. How did I even get here? She ask

    TINA You might say I made the wrong decision, you might say I needed a break from everyone, but I, Tina Mills say I don't. Yes, everyone close to me has hurt me in one way or the other, but getting hurt is one of the things that makes us stronger. I was finally at peace with everyone and held no grudge whatsoever against anyone, my past hurtful memories were forgotten and I no longer had a place to dwell. Oh, I almost forgot to mention. Liam and I were now officially married! Our wedding was tagged as the most expensive wedding in the history of Sydney! We moved into our new house, a house Liam and I jointly built to raise our family in. “Mama!” Blake’s piercing voice echoed, separating me from my straying thoughts. “What's up little man,” I bumped fists with him. “Grandma is calling you,” he pointed in the direction of the kitchen. My entire family and I were on vacation. Dad, Liam, Victor and Ryan were playing video games in the living room, mum, Tiffany and Aunt Hailey were i

    TINA It's been over six months since Lucas’ demise, six long months since everything died down. Lucas had been buried a day after he died. Liam was gloomy for a few days after his passing, which I didn't mind. At this moment, everything had gone back to the way it used to be before all the unfortunate incidents. Only a few things had changed, I was no longer the single spoilt princess of the Mills family, I was a wife and a mother now. “Mama,” Blake’s tiny voice resonated next to me validating what I had just said. “Blakey,” I smiled, pinching his nose. I picked him up from the floor and twirled him around. “Mama!” He giggled loudly. My little boy is now a year and a few months old. He has even started walking and spends half of his day going in and out of every corner of the house, he literally knows the entire house like his palms. “Where have you been Blakey?” I asked, settling down on the bed and placing him on my thigh. “I shall go down with Liar,” he giggled. “You mean yo

    TINA Ever since that day Liam left the house to go find Lucas, I never felt comfortable. I was worried and uneasy. It was so bad that I couldn't even eat. Leah and Riley tried their best to help me calm down but I couldn't, I was just too worried. Each day I cling to Blake crying my eyes out. “Liam is a strong guy, he will definitely come back,” Leah sang these words like a song to me every passing day. Just yesterday, I was seated in the living room watching the door and waiting for the moment Liam would show up when the door was pushed open and Ethan walked in, alone. Seeing him walking towards me alone while he left here with many others filled my heart with uneasiness. “Where are the others?” I had asked. He sat me down and explained everything that transpired while they were out. “And Liam, where is he?” I asked, gazing at the door. “He decided to stay in the hospital with Lucas, he survived the hit.” I didn't know how to feel, It was all too much to take in and process.

    TWO DAYS LATER LIAM It's been two days now since Lucas got out of the Operation theatre, two days since he was put down on this bed, two days since he failed to open his charming blue eyes. I haven't had any sleep since the day everything unfolded, I haven't even gone home yet. Guilt was eating me up, for some reason, I kept blaming myself for letting things get like this. Lucas didn't deserve this, he got deceived. Marcus should be the one lying here in pain. These few days, I regretted pulling the trigger and ending Marcus that way. He had a way too easy death and I blamed myself for it. He deserved to gnash his teeth in anguish and cry out for help which wouldn't ever get to him. But sadly, I gave him an easy death. Sighing, I put my head down on the bed next to Lucas. “I should have tried harder to convince you. You wouldn't have chosen this path if I did that. I'm a terrible brother,” I cried. “Just open your eyes, Lucas,” I pleaded, grabbing his nearly cold hands. “Let go o

    LIAM One moment I was downcast and was about to cry about Lucas’ sudden passing, then the next, someone more shallow minded appeared. It broke my heart that he used poor Lucas this way and discarded him. I wondered if this would have been my fate if I never did a proper investigation into the cause of my father’s death. I stood still watching Marcus utter despicable words and confession of his multiple crimes. Each minute of standing there made me feel like shredding him to pieces but then I was powerless at the moment. When he revealed how he was indeed the one behind my dad’s death and everything thereof, I made a resolution in my heart at that moment. “Marcus’ blood will be spilled by me.” Anger and disgust bubbled inside of me with each passing minute, I watched him send out his men to attack Ryan and me. He stood at a distance watching us, probably to see how his men would rip us apart. In one swift move, I pulled out my gun from under my pants and pointed it at the men w

    LIAM “Do you still want to do it alone?” Ryan asked. His words made me pause in my tracks and turn to him. “I'll do anything to keep my wife and son safe, even if it means teaming up with you. I promised my wife I would get rid of Lucas and I'll go to any lengths to fulfill that promise.” Ryan stayed silent for a while, just gazing at me. “Are we going to capture Lucas or do you want to keep staring like you've suddenly fallen in love with me?” I asked, eying him unpleasantly. He snarled at me, then began walking away. I followed him. “There is no car available,” he muttered. Ethan and the rest of us had visited here prior to today and I knew there was a little garage behind the building, I also knew where the car keys were. We had taken a safety precaution of fleeing, just in case things went haywire. “Wait here, I'll go get a car,” I muttered. Walking into the house, I randomly grabbed a key and headed for the garage, the key turned out to be that of a Maserati MC20. I go

    Ryan I have been tracking my dad’s movement the entire time. My dad is someone who would do anything for the sake of his children. Considering how Tiffany wasn't his, but just my wife, I knew he was okay with using her as bait just to keep my mother and all of us safe. Starting from the moment they all agreed to use Tiffany as bait, I was upset, even mad that my gullible wife agreed to it. I mean, there is a possibility that she will lose her life in the process of being used as bait. I threatened to divorce her, just to make sure she didn't do it, but both she and I knew I wouldn't be able to divorce her. Earlier today, Tiffany suddenly went missing. It scared the hell out of me. I searched the entire house for her but she seemed to have disappeared into thin air and this was on the day I had found out my dad and the others planned to get Lucas. “They took Tiffany with them,” I concluded. Anger coursed through my veins and I rushed into my car. Instantly tracking my dad’s locat

    LIAM Things got all serious the moment we all got into the car. We had chosen one vehicle as it seemed more convenient and allowed us all to communicate easily. “What's up with Lucas, he hasn't made any move yet,” I muttered staring down at the screen that showed Luacs pacing up and down a shabby looking room. “He got a call earlier and is waiting for help to get to him. Help is already on its way to him,” Ethan said. “We have just a problem,” Victor said. “His men.” He fell for the phone call and thinks a rescue vehicle is coming for him. “How about we send the police to him?” Tina’s dad suggested, but Ethan and I were quick to push the suggestion aside. “He gets help from the police,” Ethan muttered. “You should have seen how the police tried to protect his impersonator the night I ended his life.” “That dude has the police backing him up.” “You didn't actually kill the guy, right?” I asked, staring at Ethan “You know, when you have loved ones to protect, you'll be willing

    LIAM I wanted to break the news of my sudden and urgent departure to Tina the moment I got home, but I didn't want to sadden her. The way she clung to my body, how she confessed her Love for me, all made me stall time. Even though I knew leaving was inevitable. I had planned with Ethan and the others on how to deal with Lucas and we came up with a plan to go away from our families while dealing with that Psycho. If we ever succeeded in capturing Lucas and keeping him in our house, it meant danger for our loved ones. Thankfully, Ethan had a hideout where he had hidden himself since the shooting incident to convince everyone that he was at the hospital. The moment Ethan and the others showed up and broke the news of my departure to Tina, her eyes became gloomy but then, she had that look of understanding on her face. The look that read “ I understand you're doing all these for me.” She had followed me into my room to help me pack up without saying a word to me. Facing my closet and
