Chapter 19 : The Engagement Part 2Lewis' POV "Is everything ready?"I asked the hotel manager and she nodded in affirmation.Victoria would soon be here and I was getting nervous.I planned to propose to Victoria today. I had gotten a wedding ring from the same store that my dad got my mum's ring. It was a diamond ring that didn't have a very big gem. I noticed Victoria never wore rings with big gems because she was scared they were going to fall off one day.I took one last look at the ring and I put it in my pocket when I heard Victoria's footsteps approaching.I told her that we were going to celebrate her getting a new job. I wasn't able to congratulate her well because of my busy schedule, but I had other plans.She came wearing the same dress she wore when we first met.It made me reminisce the time she fell on her butt and cursed under her breath. I smiled at I remember how she looked when I poked her forehead with my finger. She was beautiful and she still was.I was curio
Chapter 20 : The ParentsVicky's POV I looked down at my left hand and smile. The ring was so beautiful and I loved that the diamond wasn't very big. I said yes to the love of my life. I was getting married to him finally. We were over the moon with excitement and couldn't wait to tell our family. I slept so peacefully that night, dreaming about my upcoming wedding day.I woke up to make breakfast for Aysha and I. As we were eating, Aysha let out a loud gasp that scared me."Is that a diamond ring?"She said gesturing to my left hand."Ohh, this?"I said, flaunting my finger."I'm getting married!" "Lewis proposed yesterday!"I squealed at Aysha who squealed back at me."Omg, I'm so happy for you!" "I can't wait to see you walk down the aisle Vic." "I can see how much you both love each other and I'm so glad you're taking this big step", she said as she hugged me."Now we just have to inform your parents and April", she said."Yeah, I don't even know how to get through with it",
Chapter 21 : The Threat Part 1Stephanie's POV It's been 3 months now and I was now showing a little bit. I had a little bump which I tried my best to hide, not that anyone noticed. I was still locked in the house with guards around the house. Mason would come home rarely, so hiding my belly wasn't that much of a big deal. I only had to make sure that the bodyguards didn't notice. I would put on baggy clothes or a hoodie to make sure that I was hidden.Mason came home today and I put on baggy clothes as usual. He was looking a bit on edge and I tried asking him what was wrong."Is something wrong?" I asked carefully."Yes, a lot of things are wrong.""That ex lover of yours is getting married to his secretary", he said angrily.I was really happy for them but I hid my happiness so that Mason wouldn't suspect."And to think I tried to separate them by exposing their relationship." "But instead they're going to tie the knot?"He said as he narrowed his eyes."Guess I'll just have
Chapter 21 : The Threat Part 2Lewis' POV I was about to leave work when I was told I had a visitor. The lobbyist said the man was a childhood friend of mine, but no one came to mind. My only friend was in prison and there was no way he could get out yet.I sat in my office as I waited for this mysterious visitor to come.I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the man before me.HIM."Mason?" "What are you doing here?"I said in shock but he didn't reply, rather he sat down, never taking his eyes off me."Hello Mark, glad to see you're still in one piece", he said as he crossed his legs."What do you want?"I said to him."I know you're hiding Stephanie, you better tell her to come home by the time I get back." "Seems locking her at home wasn't enough, she escaped right under my nose," he said as he looked at me angrily.I was stunned by his words. This meant that Stephanie had been locked in his house all this time.I thought she was on vacation or something, because she never call
Chapter 22 : The Preparations Lewis' POV I couldn't believe my eyes as I saw her. She looked chubbier than when I last saw her. My eyes drifted to her belly and I could see a baby bump."You're pregnant?" Victoria and I both said in unison.My dad wasn't surprised so I guessed he knew about it too."Yes, I found out a month ago", she said as she rubbed her tummy and came to sit with us."There's something important that you all need to know.""I know what Mason meant when he said that he's going to make sure Victoria doesn't become your wife, he's planning on doing something very heinous", she said as she narrated everything she overheard a few days ago.I couldn't believe my ears as she spoke, he was planning on kidnapping Victoria on our wedding day. That would never happen on my watch.Victoria thanked Stephanie for telling us about this but she also asked a question which made Stephanie stiffen."If he was beating you and locking you up, why did you sleep with him?" "Weren't yo
Chapter 22 : The Preparations Part 2Victoria's POV After trying on 5 dresses, I was getting tired. No one was up to my taste and I was getting very tired. Even Aysha had started to doze off because she was tired.I wanted to give up but I decided to try out the final dress for today.I put it on and faced Aysha and her eyes lit up as she said : "This is the dress."I agreed with her because I totally loved this one.It had long sleeves made of net material and it was a mermaid type of gown. It had sequins and looked like a royal wedding dress."Finally", I said as I changed into my clothes""Now let's go get your shoes", she said as we walked into the shoes section and I picked a pair of silver heels that weren't too high. I wouldn't want to risk tripping over my dress while walking on the aisle. We stopped to get food and made our way home.The wedding was in two days and I was getting kinda nervous.I would be having my bridal shower the next day so we made preparations.It wo
Chapter 23 : The Wedding Part 1Mason's POV How dare that bastard punch me.He was going to pay dearly for messing with me. 10 years later and he thinks he's big enough to stand before me. He was wrong. I would make him regret his actions. My plans were going smoothly. On their wedding day, a car would take Victoria to an unknown location. I couldn't care less what would happen to her after then. I only wanted one thing and that was for Lewis to know what it felt to loose someone you loved.Right from the start, I never liked him. When were in high school, he was loved by every female in the school. He acted like he didn't like the attention, but I know very well that he did and he enjoyed it. Because of him, my then crush Gloria stopped talking to me. I was known as the best student before his arrival, but things changed once he came. Girls would line up to talk to me but they stopped after Lewis came. My friends would hang out with him because of the gifts he would usually giv
Chapter 23 : The Wedding Part 2Victoria's POV"Picture time!!"Aysha said as she guided everyone to the photography area.We took pictures with all our guests and took individual ones.Lewis looked so handsome in his suit and I couldn't believe that he was now my husband.I took pictures with Stephanie too and she looked really beautiful in them. Her baby bump was getting bigger now and I couldn't help but rub her tummy."It's all over now," she said as she hugged me."I don't know, Mason fled before the police could get him.""I think he's still gonna try something funny, so we have to be careful,"I said worriedly."You're right, we have to be alert.""But let's not let that good for nothing jerk spoil your big day okay.""We need to head to the reception now, so let's get going.""You're riding with your HUSBAND and we'll follow behind okay?"She said and put emphasis on the husband and I couldn't help but laugh. If not for her, I would be dead by now. Lewis and I already planned
Epilogue 2.We left the building and came back to the hotel. A very worried looking Mason stood outside the hotel with Kaden and Aysha.When we got out of the car, Mason hugged Stephanie and he looked like he was going to cry."I tried to come up with something, but he saw through me", Aysha said in defeat."I'm sorry Mason, I shouldn't have run away", Stephanie said."I understand Steph.""I promise to be the best husband and father, so please don't feel like you're making a mistake", he said and she nodded."Now, shall we go to bed?""We don't want to attend your wedding with dark circles", Kaden said and we all laughed."Let's go", Lewis said."You may now kiss the bride!"The officiator said and Mason kissed Stephanie.It was such a wonderful occasion and we cheered at the new couple.I was reminded of my wedding with Lewis and it brought tears to my eyes when."Why are you crying at someone else's wedding?"Lewis said, handing me a tissue."Shut up, you're so annoying", I said an
Epilogue 1"So, Vic, can you give us tips on how to get a rich man like Lewis?"My co worker, Rose asked.Lewis and I had been married for two and a half years now, and he always came to pick me up after work, despite his busy schedules. Whenever he came by, different women would stop by to stare at him and take pictures of him.He looked like a model, and bringing such a fancy car to my workplace surely didn't help matters."Oh come on, you're making it sound like I'm a professional at that", I said and we laughed.It was our lunch break and I was having lunch with Rose, Sarah and Keira.We had been close ever since I started working there and we formed a friendship circle with Aysha, Stephanie and Ariana.Occasionally, they would visit our home and we would chase away the men whilst we had fun all by ourselves.We made small talk after which I reminded them that we needed to pick up our dresses for Stephanie and Mason's wedding.It was the next day and we were all excited about it.
Chapter 25 : The Reunion Part 3Lewis hugged me before he rubbed my tummy."I can't explain how happy I am, you're pregnant!!" "We're going to get a mini Victoria or Lewis", he said excitedly and I smiled."We're so happy for you kids.""Lily can you believe we're about to have double grandchildren?"Lewis' dad asked his wife."Tell me about it, we have so much planning to do", come now, lets leave the children alone to enjoy their evening", Mrs Lily said as she dragged her husband out of the living room."Can't say I'm not proud of you lil brother, you made me an uncle within a month", Lucas said as he hugged Lewis."I have to say the same about you bro, and Aysha, you'd make a lovely mother", Lewis said and Aysha thanked him."You both will make lovely parents," Aysha said and we all laughed."Yeah, I just hope Lewis doesn't put our child in the washing machine to bathe him one day", I said jokingly and Lewis narrowed his eyes at me and we all laughed.The rest of the evening was p
Chapter 25 : The Reunion Part 2"Now, start speaking", I said to Aysha but she quickly ran into the kitchen to get me a snack."Why don't you have this first before we start discussing best friend", she said, trying to bribe me.I didn't want to give in but I was strangely feeling hungry but I needed to focus."You're dating Lucas?""Really?"I said to her, dropping the snack she brought."Uhh, yeah it happened before the wedding actually, he seemed really sweet and you were busy with preparations so he assisted me during those days and we kinda...you know, fell in love?""You? "In love?""I'll be a monkey's uncle", I said in a sarcastic tone."No I'm serious Vic, I love him and he loves me too." "I'm really serious about him", she said truthfully and I could feel her sincerity."Okay, if you say so.""I support you and I'm sure Lewis will be happy about this too." "He likes you and I'm sure he'd be glad that you're with his brother", I said and she hugged me."Now let's eat okay?"
Chapter 25 : The Reunion Part 1The next morning.I woke up but didn't find Lewis in the bedroom.I could hear sounds coming from the kitchen so I wondered if he was making breakfast.I tried to get up to go and meet him but my legs were wobbly and I couldn't move well.Lewis sure had a lot of stamina because he didn't stop until after the fifth round, which I practically begged him to stop or else I was going to collapse. It was both our first time but it felt like it was going to be my last if he didn't stop. I managed to get into the bathroom to wash up and brush my teeth before going down to meet him. I wasn't stupid enough to go and meet my husband with morning breath. He heard my footsteps and greeted me before placing our plates on the table.He wasn't wearing a shirt, just shorts and he looked damn sexy. I would have pounced on him but I was still sore and wasn't ready for another round.I kissed him on the lips and thanked him before I sat down to eat.I finished eating an
Chapter 24 : The Wedding Night Part 2"Ehehem we'll see you soon April, good bye", I said while pushing her.On our way to the hotel, the car ride was silent before I decided to speak up."Are you okay?" We both asked in unison before laughing."Yeah, I'm just glad that this nightmare is finally over", I said."Me too, I hope Mason reflects on himself more so that he and Stephanie can sort things out", Lewis replied."Yeah, I mean it's gonna be hard to forgive the person who raped you, it must be hard because you're always gonna be reminded of what they did when you look at them", I said and Lewis' mouth dropped from a smile to a firm line."What?" I asked him."Speaking of which, I didn't want to bring it up before the wedding because I didn't want you to feel bad, but Kaden asked me to apologise to you", Lewis said and I looked away.I remembered it like yesterday, Kaden ripping off my dress and attempting to violate me. I didn't think much of it because he was drunk but I was ups
Chapter 24 : The Wedding Night Part 1MASON.His shirt was stained with blood from his injury and we could see the fury in his eyes.He grabbed the mic with his injured arm from the MC and started to speak."So, you all are having fun right?""But first of all, congratulations to the latest couple in town.""Mr and Mrs Lewis Mark.""I was deeply hurt when you guys didn't invite me to the wedding, but I'm so glad that I get to attend the reception to give you both a great wedding gift that you'll love so much.""You really had me there Mark, with that crazy stunt you pulled today, I must say I'm a bit impressed.""Using that cop to deceive me was a really cool idea but too bad I'm too smart.""Mason stop!" Stephanie said as she stood in front of him."Oh Stephanie, I knew I'd see you here", he said as he walked towards here but stopped when he noticed her belly.The mic fell from his hands as he looked at her in shock."You're, you're pregnant?"He asked her as he got close to her but
