Seeing all those faces while walking down the aisles in my dream wasn't scaring me as much as it had scared me the first time I had the dream. There were just too many things that made me feel like I would enjoy that moment even more when it would finally be happening to me in real life. I felt like most luckiest of all women as I walked up to the altar from the aisle. All the eyes that were on me made me feel like the celebrity that I was. That moment was bound to be all over the net, as I walked gracefully to the altar being clothed in what I had deemed to have been the most flamboyant wedding gown that Dolph had forced on me.Just when I was standing face to face with Dolph for him to unveil me as his wife, I was out of the dream at once. I was feeling quite angry with the phone buzzing beside me which had shaken me out of sleep. It was all the complete opposite of what it used to be the first time when I would feel relieved to be woken from the dream. But then, my anger was p
“Oh my… Dolph could go to these extents to propose to her?” Julia let out as we had been in bed, watching that video like there was nothing else to do with our time. “That was well planned, don't you think?”“Uhm… yeah…” I had been a bit absent-minded for the past couple of moments as I was trying my best not to get too caught up in all that had happened the day before. I had promised Julia that it was all behind us at the moment, and I was going to do everything that I could to keep it that way. There were just too many things that made me feel like I would never forget that moment when she had locked lips with Phil. “Are you all right?” Julia seemed to have noticed me zoning out for a couple of moments. “Oh yeah… I'm doing great.” I said as I was trying to put up a smile to cover up my slip-ups. “I was just wondering how he could have been able to have that car flipped upside down.”“Yeah… right… how did he pull that off?” She asked, not knowing that I had been part of every sing
“Are you all right, Tamika?” I came down the stairs, fully clothed and ready to head out. But then, I wasn't liking the look on her face at that point. It had me quite disturbed and unable to leave her in that state.“Oh… no… I'm fine… just a bit moody. That's all.” She was putting up one of those faces that showed that she was hiding something from me. “I was quite worried from the unsettled things that kept popping up in my head.”“I'm sorry that you're feeling this way,” I said as I tried my best not to feel bad for her. I could only imagine how it felt, having my parents to contend with when it came to my marriage.I sat beside her on the couch and put my hand on hers as I pulled her into my embrace which I believed could make him feel much better than she was at the moment. “So… what are you planning on doing?” She asked as she took a good look at me. “I meant, where are you going? I thought today was meant to be an off day for us in here.”“Of course, it's an off day. I just ha
I just wasn't sure if I was making the right decision at that point as I was trying to get my mind off all of that could go wrong from this meeting. There were a lot of thoughts that made me feel like I was either about to get my hands on something that would make me hate Dolph or run into some bastard who was just too passionate to meet Tamika Fisher. It was either one of the above. There was nothing to fear as I had some of the guards with me and the meeting was happening in quite an open place. I just wanted to make it all quick so Dolph wouldn't return to find out that I hadn't been around. That would simply make him suspicious of it all. The part that made me feel even worse about myself was the part where I had coaxed the two guards who were with me into telling a lie about the whole thing if they were asked where I had been off to. The lie would be to tell him that I had gone to see Julia. Soon enough, the car pulled over in front of a café. I had disguised myself with a sc
“What do you mean?” Tamika’s old man asked as he stared at me with a cynical glance. He seemed like he had just heard me say an absurd phrase in a strange language. The look on his face almost had me a bit discouraged from saying what I was about to say, but I managed to still myself with the fact that I had been in many more unfriendly negotiations like that one. “Well, I'm here to strike a deal.” I was much more direct that time around as I was trying not to waste more time beating around the bush. “Let's not mess around, Mr. Fisher. I'm sure that it's no news to you that I want to marry your daughter.”I paused a little as I saw Tamika's stepmother as she drew closer to the table where we were having the discussion. I was almost fuming as I couldn't recall inviting her to the table and that had me furrowing my brows as she came to the table with such confidence. But then, I was going to pretend that she wasn't there at the table. All I had to do was keep my eyes on Mr. Fisher a
I hated dead air more than any other thing during negotiations. Besides that, I hated the way they were acting like they had too many alternatives to choose from. They would simply be left with nothing if I decided to get up and leave. More than any other thing, I just wished Mr. Fisher would finally choose to be a man and speak. He seemed like he was being remote-controlled by the woman he called his wife. She seemed to be the reason behind every single bad decision he had made in his family and was about to pioneer yet another bad decision. It was too saddening to watch. “Well… I guess you wouldn't be accepting this offer. But I would be marrying Tamika anyway.” I said as I got up from the seat. “We would be able to meet at the wedding.”“Wait…” Mr. Fisher finally spoke up. “It's a deal…”“What?” Sophia let out in utter disbelief. “In that case, I would have the money wired to your account,” I said, feeling victorious and proud of Mr. Fisher for making the right decision. ***T
In the heat of my desperation and mixed feelings, I was still taking yet another look at the video that tensed my heart.“I'm back, Tamika…” Dolph came right through the door with a slight look of excitement which usually meant that he was actually, overly excited at that point. “What did I miss?”“Well, nothing really,” I said as I put my phone away quickly. I had been watching the videos all over again, even after having promised myself that the last time would be the last time I would watch it. But there I was, watching it like it was some sort of movie clip that one would just watch over and over until they couldn't get enough of it.“So… what's the celebration face all about?” I asked as I put up a fake smile so that he wouldn't know that there was a cause for alarm. I concealed it perfectly, as he came walking towards me with his arms sprawled out for a hug. I just wanted to drown myself in his embrace without thinking about anything I had seen in the video. But that was impos
There was absolute silence in the room as I returned from the bathroom. I had washed up pretty well and I was able to regain composure after a few moments. But then, the way Dolph was staring at me had me feeling like I was some sort of specimen that had been placed in a glass for all to see. I didn't like it at all, but then I just endured it as I stepped toward him. The look in his eyes made it look like he desperately wanted to say something but was reserving his comments for peace's sake. “You're pregnant, aren't you?” He didn't sound shocked, nor did he sound excited about it. He seemed to be having mixed feelings about the most probable possibility. “I don't think so… I've just been feeling sick ever since…” I had indeed been feeling sick since that morning and I just didn't want to agree that it could have been a possible pregnancy from my end. I didn't know why I didn't want a pregnancy, but then, I didn't think I was ready in any way to have his baby. “Are you sure abou
