Chapter 1

The sounds of two people moaning could be heard and Skyler thought the man sitting on the couch with a woman buried deep on his laps looked familiar. Skyler's eyes were getting welled with tears as she stared at the video playing on the projector that was supposed to show flowers and wedding ring decoration of the man whom she was standing next to at the alter and about to get married too. 

That was Felix, the man who was supposed to be her husband with her workmate Felicia. She was not enemies with Felicia but they were not friends either and she even invited Felicia to her wedding.

Skyler's mother, Kiara stood up from her chair the moment the video began playing, even Felix looked shocked wondering how the tape got leaked on his wedding.

Skyler stared at Felix and a teardrop fell from her eyes.

"Tell me it's edited, that is not real, we are going to get married and someone is just framing you to break us apart" She was hoping he would deny it but that would be her lying to herself.

"The video is not real, it's edited" Felix shamelessly denied it.

"Damn you!" Skyler's hands flew to his cheeks, giving him a resounding slap.

"I loved you Felix, I gave you everything but this is how you repay me?" Her tears didn't stop flowing from her eyes.

"Babe I'm sorry, I was drunk and didn't know when this happened" He tried to plead.

"Oh, so I'm stùpid? I'm Felix!!" Skyler yelled at him with so much exasperation.

Kiara was already crying from where she stood. She knew how much Skyler had planned for this day only to get this.

"I'm sorry" Felix muttered but was inwardly cursing Felicia who was secretly smiling at what was happening. She didn't have the ounce of shame not to show up for the wedding.

"Save your sorry Felix, we are done!" Skyler's eyes carried so much rage before she took off the wedding ring on her finger and threw it on the marble floor.

The glass diamond broke off the ring but she didn't care. The next second, she was raising her dress a bit and running out of the venue with tears in her eyes.

"Skyler!" Kiara, and Skyler's best friend, Ashely and Wendy went after her but she ran so fast, they couldn't find her around the venue.

"My baby" Kiara burst out in tears before going back to the venue to meet Felix while Ashely and Wendy went to look for Felicia who had already run away.

"That bitch" Ashely muttered before they looked at Felix who was already moving backwards.

"Aunt, I promise you it's just a misunderstanding.."

Felix was not done when Kiara took off one of her shoes and threw it on his face.

"Fûck" he cursed silently.

People were already murmuring among themselves while some were leaving the venue already.

"My daughter loved you with everything she had and was even ready to get married at the age of twenty-four, she had a lot of plans for you!!" Kiara shouted.

"I'm sorry aunt, humans make mistakes, please forgive me" he replied, feigning a sorry look.

"Aunt don't talk to this bastard, let's just beat him up" Wendy moved closer to him but he dodged her and took his heels.

"Let's go after him" Wendy wanted to chase him but Ashely held her back and shook her head.

"Just let him go, dìcks will always be dìcks but the most important thing is making sure Skyler is okay," she said.

Kiara was already calling Skyler's number but she wasn't picking up.

AN EMPTY ROAD★

A Bugatti la Voiture Noire was the only car on the road. A man dressed in a dark blue blazer and putting on glasses could be seen driving. Behind him was Mason with a disappointed and angry look on his face as he had his phone on his ears.

The number you are trying to call is not available at this moment. Please check the number and try again later, thank you!

Mason dropped his phone on the space beside him, looking frustrated. Linda had lied to him again, she told him they would get married today but she didn't show up and she was not picking her calls either.

He couldn't take this because he was in desperate need of a wife today. If only heavens can just bring one from no where to him.

"Alvin speed up to the airport and book an immediate flight that would take us to Paris" He said to his personal assistant. He didn't mind flying to Paris and dragging Linda to get married to him today.

"Understood boss" Alvin stepped on the break and brought out his phone. He was looking at the road and the phone at the same time as he dialed a number but failed to notice someone in a wedding dress crossing the road.

That person was Skyler, she had her white heels in her hands, and her tears were black as her mascara was washing off. She wasn't running, she was walking barefoot like a lost person and when Alvin noticed her it was almost too late, thank goodness he was quick to step on the break.

The force he used made both him and Mason jerk forward.

"What the hell Alvin!?" Mason exclaimed angrily.

Skyler didn't care that she was about to get hit, instead, she stopped and faced the car then spread her arms wide open.

"Keep driving, I'm ready to die," she said.

Alvin hit on the horn twice but she didn't move and he came down to meet her.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Are you planning to die!" He yelled but Skyler scoffed, black tears were still rolling her eyes.

"Of course, I want to die, I found out my groom was cheating on me on my wedding day, what do you expect me to do!!" She yelled back.

"You should pull this stunt elsewhere, we have a flight to catch up right now so leave!" Alvin said angrily.

Mason, who had been watching from the back seat, rolled down his glass and calls Alvin over, Alvin goes to him.

"What's happening with her?" He asked calmly.

"She said her groom cheated on her and she wants to die" Alvin rolled his eyes.

"Interesting" Mason muttered to himself before opening the door and stepping down.

He arranged his suit and moved towards her while Alvin watched him from behind.

"Miss I have a proposal for you," he said calmly and Skyler turned to look at him.

"You see we are the same, I was supposed to get married today but my fiancè stood me up and your groom betrayed you" he gave her a calm look.

"What are you trying to say?" She asked, eyeing him head to toe. The black tears should have made her look ridiculous but they didn't.

"Let's get married" he dropped it and she stared at him for a while before bursting out into laughter.
