-----The tunes for Unconditionally by Katy Perry was being played so softly by the DJ and it's lull filled the entire hall.
The room was slightly beginning to get filled up by business associates, family members and even the press.
Clicks from cameras and chatters from people engaged in discussions were prominent in the enclosed space, filling the area with excitement and buzz.
I stood at the entrance and surveyed the black and blue themed hall in awe and gloom. Claudette has really got a top notch style.
I had already handed Louie to Jenny so she could prepare to be the 'flower girl' and now I regret it cause I have no company.
I engaged in a little chat with Guillermo a few minutes ago before I entered the hall but he had to leave so he can go get the priest.
No sign of the bride and groo

Sooooo...... Welcome to bullied series, part 2. Thanks for tapping on this book. With much hope and anticipation, I'm here to say it has officially begun 😁 I wanted to use blues music for this entire book but unfortunately the past was filled with more love than hate 😒😒 so the book goes on music-less but if you feel you have any song that suits the chapter please endeavor to comment. I know I said I'll wait till I have at least nineteen chapters up but I swear I tried!! I was just too impatient... 😔 It's finally completed and if you're reading this, then this book is undergoing editing or has already been edited. Please don't hesitate to point out errors and indicate suggestions. Usual words. Please don't steal my work, blah blah blah.... I love you all for reading.

" For the last time Louisa, if I get up that stairs you're gonna appear down magically!!" This is the second threat this morning and yet she's still up." Coming mummy!" came her tiny voice in a rush." You've been on your way for the past ten minutes, when is your train going to arrive!?" Taking the last sip of my coffee, I walked over to drop my dishes in the dishwasher." And it's arrived " Were her first words as she made her entrance into the kitchen.She sucked in her upper lip and batted her lashes at me like she usually does when she believes I'm angry at her. Looking at her features, she reminds me of the reason why I changed her first name from June to Louisa, because she was a survivor. At the age of five she was a lot smaller in stature than her mates and that caused a lot of worry from me and everyone else who cared, including my boss. S

" You should come see the fountain, it's like..... Awesome!!" I laughed over the phone as I was packing up Louie and I's luggages." I see Cody, your explanation tells it all" Cody was Dylan and Megan's baby cousin. Yeah, I called him Dylan. I decided to because it began to feel odd regarding him with his second name that people hardly knew.Back to Cody.Cody was five or six years, I can't really remember, but all i know is he's related to Megan's mom so now he's related to them. After two months of moving to Bridgewaters, Megan's mom and Dylan's dad sealed the deal and got married so they all went back to Los Alamos, leaving I and Megan's grandma. " But you haven't seen it, did I mention the decorations? Its like they're celebrating something everyday!" W

How did I not connect this before? I had met my parents employer when I was a little kid but ever since then, I bore too much hate to even think of seeing him again. Plus it's not like they'll let me meet their boss, they felt like I'd spill the beans if granted opportunity. And after they resigned, what business did I have with him. He was well known and all but he was never around Los Alamos, he just had workers all over handling the job for him. He and his wife were just, I don't know... Invincible? This explains why my parents seemed indifferent when I told them of my employment. Asking if I was happy with the job and not if it's profitable. But I'm literally the dumbest thing I can think of. The striking resemblance to Louisa? Mr Brooks McConnell? I'm so stupid!

" It says here you have eight years of working experience?" Hunter inquired raising his head from the paper he's spent five minutes observing." Well yes, it's clearly written there" He dropped the paper on the desk and placed his hands on the table to address me. With both palms clasped together, he continues questioning." You were to graduate from the University only a year ago, based on the course you intended to pursue in high school. Entrepreneurship I believe?"" Yes that's true and-" " And it says here eight years?" He piped up to interrupt my relay."Well I left school four years ago.""It doesn't still add up" He perked" Back in school, I used to work part-time at a restaurant " " Thats refutable, So you never graduated?"Yeah, cause of you." Yes, but- " I w

" Louisa.... Baby wake up " I cooed into the sleeping girls ear." No. Pillow. Soft" she moaned softly and adjusted her position to cuddle with a nearby pillow. I really do not have time for this." Okay, here we go " I dragged her off the bed by her feet and she landed with a thump on the ground with her bum." Ouchie" She huffed and rubbed her rear vigorously, while I laughed at her cuteness." Okay baby. Bath, breakfast and then proof to Veronica that you're a World tourist" I cheerfully bribed her, knowing that she will definitely fall for it.And she did.She jumped up on her two feet and began to race to the bathroom." To the bath mobil!" She screeched and disappeared behind the door. This girl would never cease to amaze me._______________________________&nb

Hunter's P.O.V.——————— I was signing the documents for the Ying and Shang meeting when the door of my office creaked open. " Brooks my man, how's ya doing " Chance, a colleague and friend from high school walked into my office." I haven't set eyes on you for a week " I dropped the pen I was holding and gave him my full attention." Of course you haven't, if not you'll be suffering from a Tuesday night hangover " He grinned and took the seat in front of my table. I laughed at his idiocy and finally closed up the file before me.Seems like a chat after all." So tell me, how's everything? And by everything I mean Michelle" He relaxed back and stretched out his legs on my table." Well, all is good" Was all I could say." Good? Alright spill, what's up?"

I was setting out a few things before the close of work by four when a call came into the office line.So much for being a secretary.But I answered the call anyway." Good Afternoon, Brooks and Shields Companies, how may I help you?" " Jules?" " Mr McConnell, it's nice to hear from you again " I took a seat after relaxing because it's not a business call." And from you too. How you doing?" " Well, I'm fine if I may say, what of you?" " I'm good. The office is not as effective without you here but we're surviving "" I could always come back and you'll send someone else here instead " I chirped with a little too much enthusiasm. There was a slight pause between us before he talked again." Someone seems eager to leave, any problem with your boss? I can al

Iris's p.o.v." Mommy am I going to be okay?" Louisa asks as I tuck her in.We had finally arrived home after a brief, suspiciously quiet, tiring drive.Seriously, the silence made the journey longer than it should." Yes baby but the doctor said for you to be okay, all you have to do is sleep, eat, draw and sleep some more" I answered with a smile." Yaaaay" she cheered but it ached my heart when I heard how weak it sounded." Go to sleep cupcake" I whispered and placed a soft kiss on her forehead." Mmmmm" she moaned softly and slowly shut her eyes in an attempt to fall asleep.I noticed her little winks and sighs and unknowingly, a chuckle escaped my lips and I began using my thumb to trace her plump cheek outline." Mommy, what about daddy?" Huh!?

Hunter's p.o.v.It's tomorrow.Finally, the wedding is tomorrow and I've been feeling jiggly since morning.If jiggly is indeed a word.I've gotten a suit picked out with the help of Guillermo and Michelle says she's already got her gown too.The venue was being set up by Claudette and Jenny while Cheryn took charge of the caterers.Edward handling the convoys and my family and friends are flying in today.I'm honestly feeling like a girl who's about to have her first kiss.Fucking excited!.Nothing can honestly dampen my mood right now.I'm on my way home and a little early from work cause I promised Louisa that I'd take her out and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.Because I seriously doubt if Michelle would allow me to hang out with s

Iris's p.o.v.————— After a while of thinking and consideration, Claudette and I decided to make the proposal party a small one. I personally wanted it smaller than that, possibly just two people and a ring but Claudette does know how to throw a fit. So we chose his office as the venue and invited a few people asides from his employees. Edward, Guillermo, Claudette, Mrs Reid and her children ( well except Meredith and of course Michelle ) and some business partners he was particularly fond of. Mrs Reid took it as a point of duty to invite some of Meredith's friends. That also, I saw no use for.Nine o'clock pm sharp. It's time for Michelle to walk into her surprise." Hu

Hunter's p.o.v.-------I've always learnt to detest Monday morning's but today's adrenaline rush and anticipation almost killed me.Right now it's a few minutes passed six pm and I have never been happier with an early close of work.Why?Well here's why. On my way to the office this morning Mr Reid gave me a phone call saying he had important information for me.And the rest seems like history.Currently I was in my car, driving down to the restaurant he'd chosen for the meeting and my heart is pounding so loudly in my ears.Okay, I know I said I'd given up on everything but for some reason I still feel the need to save my life.Survival instincts right?Why the hell is the journey taking so long?I had to

Third person p.o.v.It was a few minutes to three am but she hadn't winked a slumber, she looked to her side to ensure her baby was tucked in safe and sound.She sighed softly and turned to her side to try catching some sleep.After a few minutes of squeezing her eyes to no avail, she had to figure out what was wrong with her.No..She knew exactly what's wrong. Ever since Hunter had come home looking so sad and crestfallen, she hadn't felt so comfortable.Her little thought told her that it had something to do with Mr Reid and the deal, probably Mr Reid hadn't agreed with the terms.If that were to be the case then Hunter is really doomed, he can't get any backing or financial support to pay off the debts.He was left to the fate of some drug Lord's somewhere around the world.But th

He's out the balcony" she smiles briefly before walking away.The event was currently taking place downstairs and after searching for Mr Reid for over an hour I decided to give him a call.He detailed that he was on the second floor, room fifty two C in the hallway.I just realized this building was also a luxury guest inn." Thank goodness" I smiled to myself in apprehension of speaking with Mr Reid and proceeded to locate his room.I've been harboring thoughts about revealing my intentions to Mr Reid and it's high time that I did.Everything else is currently a secondary discussion.

Iris's p.o.v.-----So Hunter has been deathly quiet.And I have been biting my lips to avoid laughing at his nervousness.Edward was driving us to the venue and it seemed like forever to Hunter." Edward, how much longer do we have to complete this journey?" Hunter finally asked after glancing at his watch in every five minutes interval for the past fifteen minutes." Am I hearing a modified adult version of ' are we there yet?' " Edward mocked and I lost it.I laughed out so loudly that I was gasping for air. But when I want to stop, a quick look at Hunter's face sends me reeling in laughter once more." Stop..... Stop... I can't..." I managed to blurt in between my laughter."

Don't listen to her Louie, she's just jealous" Cheryn patted Louisa's head and smirked at Jenny." Nuh-uh...
