Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance WORRYING SENTIMENTS
I plant my feet on the floor, plunging my head down to look at my father after giving him his medicines and tucking him under the duvet. It pains me to admit, but the man before me isn't doing well at all. I thought he was okay and strong this morning, but maybe my desire to please him blinded me. Then again, what choice did I have? He wanted the dinner to happen sd quickly as possible, and knowing him, convincing him otherwise would have been all in vain."What's worrying my daughter this much?" He faintly mumbles, his usually cold and strict tone now so worryingly soft and faint. He looks so tired and weak. Everything about him doesn't portray the unshakable Richard Riccaford that I knew before I returned to this castle. This is ailment is deteriorating. It's weakening him dreary and I am getting worried."You I can take anything, but not seeing my daughter worry like this." He sucks some oxygen before adding, taking my hand. "Talk to me dear. Is it about the decision you made? I g
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance FIGHTING OVER RIGHTS
"Morning doctor Lemuel!" I greet the doctor in the hallway after checking on my father.He is still asleep. He must have been so exhausted by the time he retired to bed last night. That was predictable after all that long conversation we had."Good morning, Ellie! How was your night?" Lemuel asks after responding to my greetings.One thing I like about Lemuel is his devotion and outgoing virtue. He is so easy to talk with. His maturity and equilibrium are what crowns his physical glamour. He would be such a great catch, if only..."I slept well, but I'm worried about my father. How far is your consultation about the transplant?" I query."Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that.""Why? Is everything okay? Has the decision been finalized?""Yes. And I have already scheduled a transplant for your father. In two days." Wow! I can't explain the exhilaration I am feeling. Finally, my father will be free from all this agony. He will go through the transplant and everything will go ba
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance SHOCKING WISH AND A SHOCKING FIGHT
It's that time- the turning point where Papa is going due for the surgery. That critical moment that holds our future. After this, our lives are not going to be the same ever, because I am gonna consecrate my entire life to taking care of him. We are going to have the thrill of life from now on and savor every kick of it. I'll show nothing to him from now on other than gratitude, love, care, and affection. That aside for now. Why are the doctors taking so long in there? They said they were just gonna run a few checkups before he goes to theatre but, why are they taking forever? Pardon my terrors, because Lemuel ascertained to me that there is absolutely nothing to worry about, but I can't help it? No one would remain calm in this particular situation, right?I am exhausted from pacing back and forth in this corridor. I have mentally howled numerous pleas to the heavens to make this a success. I have made exertions to make myself loosen up on this couch, but it's damn pricking my arse
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance SOCKING CONFESSION
"You both stop this!" Mrs Riccaforte exclamations, standing between them and gazing at them one after another.She is a burning lioness among the two lions, but her anger is different. It's not because she is angry at someone, but that anger and fear of a woman seeing his family fight, and much worse, in front of her. It's that fear of seeing a hint of your family being torn to shambles- the fear of losing a home, a family that you built for years. I feel sorry for her, especially because neither Damian nor Mr Riccaforte is willing to back down. Not even at her plea."It's been years since we were together like this as a family, and this is what you two can do best? Can't you set your differences aside for once?" She cries, and I mean crying, except that only the tears are not falling. I don't know for how long, though, because her voice is totally broken, and I can see her chest heaving up and down from here.Mr Riccaford takes a step back from Damian, perhaps opting not to stress hi
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance CONFUSING THREATS AND AFFECTION
"You can tell doctor Lemuel that I am ready now!"I heave out a deep sigh to placate my pulse at Papa's words. He can't scare me like this. I almost thought he was dying given how he all of a sudden fell silent. Gosh! My heart virtually exploded into pieces."Do you want to give me a heart attack, Pa? Who will watch over you after the surgery if am not here?" I ask as my heartbeat resumes its normal beating slowly."I'm sorry, my dear. I'm so weary of this bed already so let's get this over and done with. Tell them I'm ready." "Okay. I'll let Lemuel know. I'll be back." I fling to leave, but he still is clasping my hand captive in his. Actually, they, both of them because ostensively, Damian is caging the other one in his too. I glance between them, signalling that I can't leave my hands with them. Damian lets go, and Papa pats the one he is holding, gives it a peck and whispers..."I love you, my dear. Whatever happens, be brave, and always know that you meant the world to me!" Me
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance CIVIL TALK. SOLACE. SHOCKING REACTION.
I gulp down the third glass of water. It's been too long since doctor Lemuel got into the operating room with his team and they haven't come out yet. If I ever said I was nervous before, I take it back. I probably didn't know the real meaning of that but this, this is a real freaking wrecking anxiety. I have tried out all I could in an endeavour to stroke my nervous system, but nothing is working. The terror is stinging so badly. My mind is a catastrophe of a thousand sentiments all discombobulated together. I should probably go and try to peek through the window. Maybe I will see something that will calm me down, or probably an aberrative chat with Damian's parents? Yeah, I guess that will be good. There was no fucking point in staying inside this freaking room because this improbable jerk is keeping his word about not bothering me except by telling me to calm down. Calm down my itchy ass! He can do that for me!"Where are you going?" He racks before me before I could get to the im
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance SUDDEN DEMISE
"I'm sorry, Ellie! We did all we could. I'm sorry." Lemuel finally finds his voice, and I had to glue my eyes in his to search for any sign of jokes in them. But not even a mad person would crack such a joke. He is serious, and I feel a wreking pain goring through my heart slowly, ripping it into pieces, and leaving them floating in blood. I face-palm my face, feeling the painful clear liquid wash my face. I thought I was brave, but when I feel my legs mercilessly giving up on me, I realize I wasn't, or that this is beyond my strength.Damian helps me to the sit on the swivel again, and I slam down on it.My father is gone? Just like that? But, Lemuel told me all will be fine. That's what Damian told me too. So what in God's name went wrong?I brush some of my tears, peeling my palms off my face, and leave Damian to work on the vast surging tears. Everything seems blurry, but I force my sight on doctor Lemuel."What happened?" I softly whisper between sobs."A sudden heart attack." H
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance CONFRONTATIONS
"Thank you." I say to Damian as we saunter inside my room.He has been of so much help today, including going through the trouble of bringing me home."It's nothing. Please lie down and try not to worry." Damian speaks as he guides me to bed.I know what he anticipates. That I will lie down as if nothing happened. But how on earth can I do that?"After what Gracia did back there, and her threats, can you honestly tell me that I have nothing to worry about? That all is well? My dad just died, and they organized his funeral in a flicker?" I retort, curbing my apprehensions and refusing to sit on this bed."Maybe they wanted to intimidate you back there. Maybe...""The charade, maybe. But how did they plan all that in minutes when in fact they weren't even there to know my father passed away?" I ask."Any urge what this could be all about? I noticed that you don't get along with them. I mean, even for Nelly to do what she did, a sister can't do that.""I honestly have no idea, Damian. Al

Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance SECOND BETROTHAL - MARRYING THE BETROTHED
ONE MONTH LATERI park at the parking lot of the jail. I know this seems crazy and you are wondering, what is a bride who is supposed to be getting all dolled up for her wedding ceremony doing in a prison? Well, to settle my peace, and show my enemies that they miserably failed. Great times!"Attorney, I'll go alone. Take care of the necessary and be quick." I state, and she nods her head.I dash inside, clutching the magazine in my hand, hoping to finish as soon as I can. Nobody knows I sneaked out just to come here, and I wouldn't want to visualize their faces if they woke up to a missing bride. I can't worry about them."She will be with you in a minute, Mrs Almenda." The prison Warden says, and I nod my head.I am Mrs Almenda to everyone in the city now. Our story, just like I presumed, has reached almost everyone in the whole nation, and we have even earned an emblem of "THE FATED BETHROTHEDS" from the citizens. Our story has outdone that of Romeo and Juliet, and now we are the t
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance FIRST BETROTHAL. ASCENDING THE THRONE
ONE WEEK LATERI stand in the mirror. Outfit, check! Make-up, check! The hair is perfect! Everything is o.k.a.y!"I could be your mirror, you know." I look at Damian's reflection in the mirror, his face all smiles, beaming and dazzling like always in his custom-made blue suit that is matching with my blue-fitting gown.Two royalties! We are indeed royals!"Mmh. Do I look good?" I ask."You are gorgeous and elegant. I am afraid all the men in the event will fall in love with you." "Really now? I think I am the one who should be weary of women in the event." I respond, caressing his jaw."This guy before you, has eyes for only one woman - Ellie Marrie Riccaford, my betrothed, the love of my life. I wouldn't trade you for anything in the world." He says, melting my heart with his words."And this beauty before you, has her eyes only on one angel, Damian Almenda Riccaforte - my betrothed, the love of my life. It's either you, or no one else. I love you, baby." I whisper."I love you more
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance AWAKE
"God, please wake this man up already." I hum as I jerk my head from Damian's shoulder.I spent the second night yet in here and still, he is in this distressing deep slumber. Honestly, I am getting furious at him. Why doesn't he want to wake up? Doesn't he know how much it's stinging me to see him like this?"Wake up already, love, will you? I miss you. This world doesn't seem a good place for me without you by my side. Please, wake up." I whisper, pecking his lips.I turn away from him, scouring for some wipes from my purse and wiping off the eye logs. Before I turn back to him, a call from my lawyer distracts me."Hello, attorney." I greet, taking a few strides away from the bed."Hello, Ellie! How are you?" He greets back."I... Am fine, attorney." I respond."I just called to let you know that I reviewed the case that you assigned to me and I think we have got several contending grounds." That makes my heart thump with joy."So does that mean..." "Let's not get ahead of oursel
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance GUILT
"Ellie! Maybe you want to at least get some fresh air outside even for a minute?" Rose says as they stand across me on the other side of Damian's bed.Breathe some fresh air? What good will that do to my despondent soul? It's been more than twelve hours since we came to this hospital and Damian hasn't woken up yet. If I am still able to breathe it's because I am doing it for both of us. The bullet in his belly hit him really bad. Fortunately, no vital organs were damaged. But he lost lots of blood, that's why he is undergoing a transfusion right now. How can I crave for a fresh breath of air when he is like this?"I am okay, Rose. I don't have the energy to leave his side until he wakes up." I say, nuzzling his hand."But, Bestie, can we at least get you something? You need to at least eat something, please." Sherry pleads."Until he is up and able to eat, I am full." I respond."Come on, Ellie! You know Damian wouldn't want that." Rose says."I want him to tell me that himself. I wan
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance BATTLE FOR VICTORY
"Where it all started with my mother? What do you mean by that?" I query."This is where I tortured her to my pleasure, and I enjoyed all her howls of anguish and appeals for mercy which I, unfortunately, didn't have! The baseball? Doesn't it remind you of something?" She says with so much elation.Curse you, sick witch! You will pay dearly for that! For everything, and that too, today itself, in this very same house!"I already knew you were behind her mysterious tragedy. But why here?" I ask."There wouldn't have been a satisfactory place for her sufferings other than this - this home, and this exact room that was deemed to be my bedroom with Richard. I bought this house some years back as our supposed rest house with my one great love - your stupid father. But that never got to come true because your mother had invaded his heart. He never saw me as a woman no matter how many times I tried. No matter how low I stoop for him, he just had no fucking chance for me. I was invisible to h
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance THE LION'S DEN
Forty-five minutes later.I reach to this seemingly three-storey house located in a secluded area in the outskirt part of Nairobi. It's a gated area, and it's surrounded by a jungle. No neighbouring houses, not even one. It looks a bit old from afar, but not that old to be termed abandoned. This doesn't look like a house to live through. Maybe it has its purpose.It's the time!I dial Damian's number."Ellie?" He picks on the first ring."I can see it. I am going in now." I say through the microchip.This was his idea. I also have a gun perfectly hidden on my back, and the back is just around. They needed to keep their distance to avoid any risks. We can't afford to screw this up. "Before anything, love, your safety comes first. You remember our deal?" Damian speaks."Yes, love. Don't you worry. I got this." I respond."Okay. How is the scene? Anything you can see? Security?" "No. I can't see anyone and that's so weird. Anyway. I will update you once I get inside.""Okay. Be careful
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance COMPROMISED
It's seven at night, and I have never been this enthusiastically nervous. The inkling of being free from all these dilemmas is giving me goosebumps."Are you really sure we can trust that woman?" Damian asks as he pulls on his hoodie."We can. For some reasons, she was so different today. I don't know what striked her overnight. She looks kinda victimized, and afraid of her mother." I state."If Gracia is capable of all those things, then I doubt even her own daughter is safe around her." Damian responds."It's hard to believe that monsters like Gracia are living amongst us. We dined and whined with her for years. I knew she was capable of a lot of things, but I never thought it would be this much and horrible." I state."Don't worry, love. Tomorrow will be the end of her road, and a new dawn for us. You'll finally be able to live in peace." "I can't wait for that moment I will look her in the eye and tell her that I already know about all her crimes and make her pay for everything."
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance DISCLOSING SECRETS
We get into the car and lock the doors, the curiosity to know about this misery that has been surrounding my family for ages threatening to kill me, and the desire to end it itching me."So what happened? Did papa accept your mother when mom went out of the picture?" I ask."It was worse. Riccaford loathed my mother with so much passion, and even forbade her to even show her face to him."Huh? "Then?""My mother never gave up. So, on this particular day during their last day at a college party, she drugged your father."OMG! So, they had sex? And Nelly? Nelly was the fruit of that act? So, she is..."The alcohol and the drug rendered your father a deadbeat. He blacked out the whole night. My mother had sex with another guy that same night and returned to your father's room, and he made him believe that they had intercourse. I was the fruit of that night "Deep sigh! I feel a bit relieved."So, you are the reason why my father had been sending money to your mother's bank account over
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance NEW ALLY
"So, miss Riccaford, why do you want to buy a dead company?" Omar asks as I go through the documents."Mr Omar, I believe in second chances, and in getting up every time we fall. The fact that the company sunk to the ground under your management doesn't mean that it will do the same under mine." I respond."I love your way of thinking. You sure are really a Riccaford - strong, bold, oriented, and above all, beautiful inside and out.""Thank you, Mr Omar.""However, sometimes common sense is crucial. It still baffles me why a rich tycoon like you who is capable of buying the entire Nairobi city if you want, is interested in a dead company."Ooh, I see he has some brains left."Let's just say that I have the power, and the will to help a person who is in dire need like you, Omar. I know you are facing a lawsuit due to your incurring debts. Your own house is under the mortgage, but that won't cover even a quarter of your debts. The banks are on your neck, as well as hundreds of employees
