Amelia looked stunning in her dress and I couldn't help but blush on her behalf. It is a woman's thing to get flattered and I don't know if Amelia was flattered but I was. I wanted to whisper into her ears and tell her how beautiful she looked in her dress.
I prescribed the perfect boutique for her shopping. I gave her about three to four places to shop just in case one of the boutiques is not up to her taste. Amelia thanked me profusely that night and I got irritated, asking her to stop. What woman has such humility? Besides I would be her husband very soon and it is my duty to see to her needs.
She asked if I would like to see what she had bought and I obliged, saying I will, but on the day of the wedding.
I had walked into her room to see the outfit on her bed and I admired the beautiful piece at the moment. She finally got to wear the dress and I saw he

Scarlett's POV*Days agoI woke up that morning to see Luke still laying in bed. I smiled to myself and kissed him on his lips, slightly. He smiled back at me in his sleep and turned to the other side of the bed."How are you?" I asked him, whispering, kissing him again and he dragged me to himself where we stayed for sometime. We finally got entangled and drifted to our sleep again in each other's arms. It was finally dawn and Luke left for work, I was left at home, alone. Mother had called saying she will come over to my house to see me that weekend. I was happy to hear from her and anticipated her arrival and prepared ingredients for her favourite dish.However, things changed when I came across the unbelievable._The same afternoon, I sat on the couch in our living room, watching my favourite television program when the power supply got disconnected. There was l

Amelia's POVI had stayed back at home all these while, doing nothing serious with my life. A part of me would like to work, and another would like to sleep all day. I can say Ethan is the best husband ever, I do not love him yet and yet he treats me so well. Almost like a queen.Our honeymoon was an adventure, a great one at that. We didn't get to do anything under the duvet but yet, I can proudly say I enjoyed every bit of it. The discussions in bed, television programs and outings all through the days of our honeymoon. Ethan had walked back into the house on a Saturday with packs of dresses for me."Why did you do this?" I had questioned him and he smiled at me, calling me a local woman. It sounded very funny and true because I knew almost nothing about being romantic. I always knew something about romance, but not after my experience with my ex fiance, Luke. I thanked him profusely that nigh

Amelia's POVEthan left for work this morning, saying he has a meeting with Mr. Robert and the other men whose names I was not aware of. I woke up just now and I saw that there were plenty of notifications on my phone. Most of the updates are still from the wedding held at the court about a month ago.I checked my inbox to see a text from my sister and I was angry. I was annoyed at her guts and effrontery to still send a text to me after all she has done to me. She had sent me a text and friend request on Facebook about last week and I declined the request, ignoring her text.Now, what? She thinks she can walk into my life again to gain my trust after stabbing me at my back. "Hi, Amy," the content read, the same thing she had sent last week. I was frustrated and I ignored her messages again, walking to the bathroom to empty my bladder. Pamela walked into the room at the noise of the tap running, askin

Carl's POVI watched the news unfold right before my eyes. What does this mean? I ask myself, looking at the screen of Scarlett's phone. Tessa had left for the kitchen sometime ago to get a smoothie for herself and juice for me when I heard a car pull up at my parking lot. I got up to look through the window and know the right move just in case we are being attacked.We still owe a certain amount to the organization we took a loan from and they have threatened that we complete the payment soon before the unspeakable is done. It was a relief seeing Scarlett walk into the house and I came to her for a quick hug when she avoided me, shoving her phone into my right hand."Scarlett," I called her before staring at the phone. Whatever had made her avoid my hug has gotten to be a serious matter. I looked at the screen of her phone, seeing my younger daughter's picture. She is tagged as married and her husban

Carl's POVI called Luke several times because of the rest of our deal. He complained of how broke he was at the moment, asking we give him some time to process the payment. My wife and I were left with no other choice but to visit Amelia at her new place and see if we could talk to her about lending some money to me with the promise to pay back whenever Luke makes the rest of the payment.Tessa finally had her way and has convinced me into taking a drastic decision. We had our bath early this morning, mapping out the address of the great Ethan Blackwood on the internet. We finished in less than four hours since we woke up from sleep and we left the house in our car. I did the driving and Tessa sat at the back of the car. We still have issues to settle, I had refused her to follow me to Amelia's new home, but then she always wants to have her way so I let her.We stopped at the gate leading out of the estat

Carl's POVI looked at the screen of my phone again, ensuring I wasn't imagining things. The statement from the bank stood at the screen of my phone in block letters. I was fazed and speechless.I received the same message three more times showing the money I needed has been provided. I saw my In-law's name as the sender and I didn't have to be told twice, it was Luke's handiwork.Tessa's eyes were already peering into my skin, I said nothing to her and closed my mouth, finally. If only I knew this would happen, I would not have gone to Amelia house to embarrass myself like that."What is it, Carl?" Tessa asked and I looked up to see her face. She looked scared and her eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. "The organization?" She asked and I heard her voice shake."I was credited, Luke credited me," I said and she screamed in excitement. "We

Amelia's POVThe old man opened the gate for someone to walk in, I screamed at the sight of Pamela, rushing down the stairs to go and meet with her. "Pam!" I screamed in excitement, smiling and hugging her briefly."Ma'am," she called, walking before me and I looked at her from behind. We got into the house and I gave her some time to arrange the stuff she had brought with her from her mother's house."How is she?" I asked the minute she walked into my room from dropping her small backpack in her room."She sent her greetings," she said in response. We had a little conversation, moved to the kitchen when I heard a car honk its horn at the gate. I paused, waiting for the gateman to open the gate, but he did not.Instead, he opened the normal gate meant for walking through and I heard tiny voices because I was not close to the gate to know who spoke. I had expec

Luke's POVThe past few weeks have been an hectic one. The huge sum of money that left my account, coupled with the news of Amelia's wedding flying all over the country.I thought Scarlett made a joke about it until I saw for myself on the screen of my own phone. "What is this?" I asked the already shaking woman seated on the bed. She shook almost violently and I was scared she would go mad."It's not over, baby," I pleaded, holding her all through the night.Carl's call came in on my phone all through the week, demanding for the rest of his payment."I was choked," he said to me and I understood what he meant so well. I, on the other hand, had nothing on me as at the time he called. I was on the verge of taking a loan from the man I work for.Tessa played her own role as a wife by calling on behalf of her husband. "Mom, give me some

Ethan's POV I slept soundly that hour, almost dreaming when a hand hit me. At first, I thought it was in my dream, or a mis-thought. The hand butted me again, and I jumped up on the bed. “What is it?” I asked Amelia, she held onto the edge of the bed, gasping for air. “What is it?!” I asked again, holding her hand. “I think the babies are coming.” I thought I didn't hear the words clearly until she repeated them again, Pamela's name filled my mouth the next moment. I was more confused and hurt when Amelia burst out crying, it was in the early hours of the morning and definitely not the right time for this. Whatever it is that she felt must have hurt, deeply. “Pamela!” I screamed the young lady's name again, higher than the former pitch and tone. I heard the door of her room creak, and footsteps were heard. She was on her way. “What is it?” The confused woman asked, rushing to Amelia's side. “I think the babies are coming, uncle.” Of course, I know. The only thing I d
