I still don't believe what the doctor said, even as Jeanne continues crying and I grip him by his collar as I ask again, "Tell me this is all a joke, and you are just playing with me.""This is a matter of life and death, I can't joke about it, I'm really sorry for your loss. Take heart and be strong man." He says and gently removing my arms from his collar, he pats me slowly on the back and walks away, and that's when it dawns on me.I fall to my knees beside Jeanne and sob uncontrollably like a baby, all the pent up anger, emotions and every other thing I had bottled up, from earlier on trying to be strong enough, comes crashing down."Arggh!" I scream as the door to the operating room opens and some nurses roll up a body wrapped in white clothing, and I know that it is my Cherry in there.I stand up weakly and watch as the nurses brings her to a stop at my side, and hands shaking I open the sheets and see her.She's so cold, in peace and so limp, still looking beautiful as all the
JAYSON'S POV"Doctor, please how is she? What happened? Was the surgery successful?" I ask, my mind beating as I wait to hear his response."She's safe." The doctor says and moves to leave but I stop him with a strong grip on his shoulders."What do you mean she's safe. Talk to me, to us, tell us how my wife is faring?" I ask him frantically."She's safe man, she's lucky to have being brought in on time, if she had being brought in a minute later, she would have bled to death, but not to worry she's fine. We removed the bullet and right now she's currently being transfused with some blood and multivitamins to make up for the one she lost. Congratulations, your wife is fine." The Doctor says and I sigh in relief, as Jeanne who was busy tapping her feets and crying finally stops and starts laughing."Have a good day." That said the Doctor walks away and Jeanne comes and hug me sighing in relief."Oh God, Jayson, I was so scared. I thought we were going to loose her." She says and starts
3 WEEKS LATER(The Wedding Party)CHERRY'S POV"Come on, pick one already." Jeanne says to me, eyes focused on her phone, operating it."I don't know which one. They both look so pretty." I say, "Don't be ridiculous, Cherry, pick something or else you are going to be late. If you can't pick one, then you can make a difference and make your wedding a unique one, by putting on a bikini.” She scoffs."Now you are just being silly. Why would I do that?" I frown playfully, "You look beautiful." She tells me and I just scoff."You are going to do your makeup, hope you know that?" She asks me and I just nod a yes."Good, now that that's settled, let's pick a gown.""Oh gosh, Jeanne, just help me do the picking." I say and I think she finally relents because she shows me one, putting it on my face."This one, looks like the one that would sweep the floor." She says her eyes beaming proudly, "Stop being playful and be serious for once, just choose one for me.""Okay, I think this is the one. L
CHERRY COLLINSI opened my eyes, the reflection of the sun rays, shunned directly into my face. I sat up and rubbed my eyes softly, I took my phone and switched it on to check what time it was, 8:21 am, I sighed! Another frustrating day.Yeah! It is.It's been over ten years now, that I've been searching for my best friend, I've literally turned to something else since his departure.It all started when I was 12, my parents were cooks and owned a massive restaurant empire, everything was going well for me I was the kid every one wished to be.But this all changed when a raging fire outbreak gutted down the building at night, killing my parents who were working late that day, and two staffs. Since then my rosy life, changed for the worse.I was left alone, being the only child of my parents, with no known relatives, or if there was I knew nothing about them.
CHERRY'S POVI come out of the Jacuzzi bathtub and tie my towel around my waist, instead of my chest, putting my stretchy arms on display.I cream my body then put on a black jeans trouser, a black long sleeved top and pack my hair in a simple ponytail after brushing and styling it with some hair gel.I apply a red lip gloss on my rosebud lips, brush my eyelashes with a mascara (eye makeup) and draw my pointy eyebrows. I take a look at myself in the mirror, making sure I look really good. Then I pick my wristwatch, a sparkly glittery gold bangle, designed by me and then lastly I put on my red flat pair of expensive loubotins and head downstairs.There I meet the maids, they all greet me in unison, I nod in reply without uttering a word, maintaining a straight face until I get to the dining.Who thought that I a street girl, someone that slept under bridges would end up being serv

You know for the new hotel grand opening, to give it a new and good looking appearance." Johnson my P.A asks me, "Well yes, and I will also be needing an expensive one that will give me what I want, I want an expensive look." I reply gazing at my phone."Great! and I have a list of them already." He says."Alright, give me your top three." I say sharply."Yes Sir, here." he replies handing me his notepad, "Have a look at these three expensive fashion stores, they do exclusive hotel dressings and decorations and they are all from nearby, they are rated 5 star from top review centers online, and they are all good."I keep scrolling till one particular company catch
CHERRY'S POVI am so exhausted, it's already 6:30 on and I'm yet to close from the office. I should have left a long time ago, but I still want to finish all the designs I have started already.Looking at what I have already done, I smile to myself, Wow!!! It's really unique. I am happy with the results, it's very unique and special, I wanted something different and exquisite to sell out expensively, and what I am doing is more like it.Sighing, I just can't take the tiredness anymore, I need to have some rest. Just as I am parking and arranging my things, I hear a soft knock on the office's oak door, "Come in." I say and Tamara walks in with a bunch of flowers and a red wrapped box of something I think is chocolates.Huh! Who sent this?"Evening ma'am. This delivery is actually for you.", "I can see, it's from who." I ask concerned as my mind spins thinking, "Actually it's from
TAMARA'S POVYou look very beautiful ma'am." I say, with smiles all over my face and she sighs, "Tamara, you don't know the kind of mess you have put me into now." She says calmly."How, ma'am." I ask, rubbing her glossy lips together she replies, "You of all people should know that I am not ready for all this, I only want to have any relationship with any man, I feel nervous Tamara."With the words she says, I feel hurt, I understand how she feels, "Um ma'am." I say meaning to ask a question, "Can I have an informal conversation with you, like a personal talk." I ask shyly."You are free too.” She says and I become stunned.I walk shyly, squats in front of her and holds her cheeks. "Look at me Cherry, I know what you are scared of... Heartbreak right?, well it doesn't mean that life is full of good things alone, everyone experiences heartbreak, although I haven't, have you
