SELENA'S POV

"How's the meeting?" I asked. I'm already awake from being passed out, Alexa saw me in the office when she was about to ask Jaxon about the developments.

"Mr. Klein knew that they will just deceive us when I already signed the contract."

I'm not surprised, Tyrone once fooled my boss on the coffee that I'd work before. They said that they're going to help the shop in promoting online, my boss just need to pay them $2000 first, since the shop back then is just newly opened, we really need to promote the shop.

Ms. Dianne paid them $2000 in no time, but one month passed, there are only few customers eating in the shop. I asked one of the customers before how they find our shop, they answered that they're just starving, and they found our shop, they have never seen our shop advertised in any social media platforms.

That's when Ms. Dianne started to panic, she called them several times, but they blocked our number, they also gave a fake address to us.

I looked at Jaxon, "What happened now to Tyrone?"

"In the jail."

My forehead creased and sit up from what I have heard, "What he's doing in the jail?"

"Mr. Klein warned already the police when you told him that I'm with Tyrone, he also knows that Tyrone will come now in the company, but he doesn't know what time exactly."

"How did Mr. Klein know that?"

He shrugged, "That's also my question."

I leaned back while holding my head, it's hurting again. Jaxon gave pills when he noticed that my head is hurting again.

"Why it changed? This is not my medicine for my headache, who gave you this?" I asked while looking the label of the bottle. It really changed.

"I don't know, Haxilla is the one who gave that."

Even if I'm confused, I still drink the pills to lessen my headache.

"By the way, why my family picture is on your hand when you passed out?" he asked while holding my hands.

"Your parents' face is so familiar to me, that's why I looked at it more closely to make sure of it, but random voices and noise suddenly crossed to my ears."

He holds his chin and sighed, "Sleep again, you need more rest."

I nod  my head at him and fixed myself to sleep, he kissed my forehead and pull up my blanket.

BRITANNY'S POV

"So, we will stop our plan here?"

No one answered Wade, I looked around to think properly. We've decided that we'll stop giving that kind of pills to Jaxon and Selena, Haxilla thinks that it can have severe damage to Jaxon and Selena's brain if we use it for another year. 

"Yes, let them know what's the truth on their own," Haxilla finally speak, I just look at Wade that looked so worried about his friend.

My chest tightened when I remember his wedding next month. That would be the most sorrowful wedding that I've ever noticed in my 10 years in this industry.

I looked up to stop my tears from falling. He can't see me crying in his face again, I can't show him how weak I am when he's around me.

"Brittany, are you okay?" Haru asked. I blinked my eyes and smiled at him.

"Yes, I'm fine. Uh, you want some coffee or anything?" I offered, then they nod at me. I stood up to order our foods."Three espresso, one lemon tea and four red velvet cake," I said to the counter lady.

"It's $30."

I paid my order and waiting it to serve my order, while scrolling on my feed, I felt someone standing next to me, so I moved aside to give them way to the counter without looking at them.

"I saw you have a same table as Wade's," the girl next to me said, that made me stop from what I'm doing.

I looked at her, "Samira..."

"Don't act that you're surprised from seeing me here." She looked at and smirked, "Stop dreaming that Wade will come back to you."

I rolled my eyes at her and stopping myself to slap her bitchy face in front of many people.

"Anyway, call me for the updates for our wedding and I want you to be the emcee, okay?" she left as she said it.

I get my orders and my eyes widened when Raven also arrived here.

"Oh, I don't know that you'll come. I should have ordered foods for you."

"No, thank you. I just want to ask you all if are you sure to your plan," he said and sipped to Haxilla's coffee.

"Yes, we've just talked about it earlier," Wade answered.

My forehead creased when Samira is staring at me and Wade from afar. Why she didn't come here to see or talk to Wade?

"Wade," I addressed him. They all looked at me, that made it feel awkward for a moment.

He asked, "What?", when I didn't speak because of the awkwardness earlier.

"Uh, did you expect Samira to be here too?" I asked with hesitation.

His brows furrowed, that automatically answered my question. Maybe Samira following him without letting him know.

He looked around, I looked again where Samira was earlier, she's already hiding on her bag. She's totally obsessed with Wade. I shook my head and sipped my lemon tea and took a bite of my cake.

Haru excused himself when his phone rang, so as Raven when he called by a nurse. Haxilla and I left in the table, since Wade walked over to Samira's place when he finally saw her.

"What did Samira say to you?" Haxilla asked out of nowhere.

"What do you mean?"

"I saw the two of you talking in the counter when I used the bathroom. What did she say?"

I rubbed my lips to each other, thinking if I should tell her everything or not.

"Tell me everything."

Okay, she already read what's going on with my head.

"She said that she wants me to be the emcee in their wedding," I said in a low tone voice.

"I already told you to drop their offer to be their wedding organizer. She just wants to watch you hurting while looking at them in the altar."

I closed my eyes and leaned, "I also told you already that I can't say no to them in the company rate's sake. You know how powerful Samira's family is."

She rolled her eyes and chose to be quiet rather than fighting me over and over about this thing. I do understand her point, but I can't take my personal problems in my work.

Wade and Haru came back to the table at the same time. Now I realized how awkward on this table, we're all ex-lovers here.

"Kassandra is now in the NYC PD. She's going to an investigation later on," Haru said to Wade, that just nod at him as his answer.

"What happened to Kassandra?" I asked.

"She nearly kills Selena because of jealousy."

"What?!" Haxilla and I answered in chorus.

Haxilla worriedly ask, "Why? What happened?"

"She knows that Selena has a phobia in pythons, so she used it to her to scare her to death, she also framed up Selena to catch her wrongdoings." Haru explained.

I leaned and sipped the last drop of my tea. We didn't know that it happened to Selena, she never talked to us about it.

We covered in silence again, no one talked. Haxilla is staring at her coffee like she was thinking something so deep, I'm pretty sure it's about Selena.

My phone rang, I excused myself and stood up to answer my phone.

"Hello?"

[I need you here in the office for the invitations, we need to start it because they invite so many people, gosh!]

"Alright, I'm coming."

I hung up the call and wear my bag.

"Where are you going?" Haxilla asked.

"I require to the office. We will start to design Wade and Samira's wedding invitation. What's your theme again?" I asked Wade.

"Blue and white theme."

"Oh yeah, I forgot. It never changed, huh. I require to go now, bye! Take care of Haxilla."

ONE MONTH LATER

"Well, I'm entirely glad, to the point that I at long last wear my wedding dress, it seems like everlastingly of wauting!" Samira shouted while Lanny putting her make up. 

I murmured, "It's a couple of months passed when you purchased that wedding dress," fixing my note pad for the gathering later on. 

"Did you say something?" 

"I said, that outfit truly fits you." 

She smiled and feigned exacerbation. 

"Obviously, on the grounds that I'm so excellent." 

I opened the entryway of the changing area and said, "No, cause you two has a place with trashbin." 

I can hear her shouting out of resentment however overlooked her and strolled directly to different staffs.

"How's Samira doing in the changing area?" Sanjo asked as I moved toward them. 

"She's fine, Lanny putting her make up." 

He was going to say something however his telephone rang. He put it on speaker since Malina, our head, is the person who called. 

[Where's the bride?] 

"She's on the last little detail. Perhaps a short ways from now, we're there as of now," I replied while really looking at my wristwatch. 

[I see. Pick up the pace, alright? The guests are here currently in the church.] 

"Indeed, we will call in case we're in transit there," Sanjo replied. 

[Take care.] 

"Goodness, there's Samira... her outfit isn't unreasonably acceptable," Paris remarked as she saw Samira strolling towards us. Sanjo hung up the call and aided Samira to her outfit. 

I kidded, "She's clearly squandered her cash on her stilettos that can't be found in the camera." 

Paris and Eva chuckled quietly in light of the fact that Samira is on our front at this point. 

Samira angled her left temple while holding the two sides of her outfit. 

"Give way, I'm going to my wedding now." 

We cleared out to give her direction to the limousine that is hanging tight for her. Paris and Eva in a real sense laughed uncontrollably when Samira's limousine drove away. 

"Cash in a real sense can cause individuals to fly off the handle," Eva said while we're strolling to our van. 

"She doesn't think carefully for right around 10 years, possibly she's actually changing." 

The two of them snickered and pushed me. I perhaps prodding Samira however I'm in a real sense envy on her now. That ought to be me, the one who wears wedding dress, the lady that Wade's holding up in the special raised area.

SELENA'S POV

"Where's Britanny?" I asked to Haxilla when I can't find Britanny anyplace in the church. 

"She let me know the she'll go directly to the banquet room to really look at the stylistic layouts and food sources," she replied while looking on her telephone. 

Jaxon moved toward us and said, "Would you say you are fine here? You can sit toward the front." 

I grinned and shook my head, "No, we're fine here. The front seats are for the family members and exceptional guests." 

"You sound truly unique," Haxilla said out of the blue. 

"Excuse me?" Jaxon said. 

Haxilla checked out him and grinned somewhat, "Nothing, go to your closest companion side at this point. The ceremony will begin any second." 

Jaxon gestures and kissed my temple prior to leaving. 

"They're together once more?" 

"I thought they separated as of now? It's right around 5 years as of now." 

I need to turn my head to the two young ladies who are murmuring in my back, I don't know whether they're discussing us or to Samira and Wade.

"Did you realize that making tattles to others, particularly in the congregation, is a transgression?" Haxilla asked to the two young ladies on our back that made me alarm. 

"Haxilla, let them be." I'm shaking her arms to stop her making a scene here. 

"We're not making story here, we're just interested why Selena and Jaxon are together once more." 

One of the young lady addressed that made my frows wrinkled. What's the significance here? 

"Get out." Haxilla directed serenely... from the get go. 

"For what reason would it be a good idea for us to? It's not you who welcomes us here." the other young lady said. 

I pulled Haxilla's dress to stop her however it's past the point of no return. 

She yelled, "Get out!" that grabbed everybody's eye since her voice reverberated in the entire spot. 

The two young ladies left and I kneel my head in light of disgrace. I shrugged and get ready myself when the ceremony begins.
