★★THREE DAYS LATER★★
Her mom certainly wasn't joking when she said she wouldn't leave till the wedding day. Well.... Today was the day Lisa was desperately praying for not to come. She was getting married to only God knows who. Her mom didn't even bother to tell who he is.She also hadn't set her eyes own brother too. She wasn't allowed to leave her room. She was only fed by those hefty guards. Her mom didn't visit her neither did Andy nor the maid.Waking up in the morning, Lisa was more than surprised to find to find a wedding dress on her dressing table.She got down from the bed immediately and took the dress astonished at how the dress shone so brightly. Her curtains were open and the sunlight was reflecting on the stones on the dress"Wow" her in-laws definitely wealthy people for them to be able to afford something like this.It would definitely cost her mom a fortune to get it.While she was admiring the wedding dress, her mom walked in with a make-up artist right behind her."Get ready, the car will soon be here to take your to your wedding venue" Lisa heart skipped a beat after hearing what her mom said.Her stomach tied in a knot Making her feel nauseous."Get her ready and make her absolutely gorgeous. So gorgeous that no man will set his eyes on her and look away. Got it? " Her mom asked in an authoritative voice and with a cold face making the make-up artist nod vigorously."Good" her face softened and she sighed in satisfaction. Without sparing a glance at Lisa, she left the room.Lisa face fell sadly."Miss, can you please have your bath so that we can start immediately. Wouldn't want to face your mom's wrath. " The makeup artist said with pleading eyes making Lisa chuckled before nodding.She entered the bathroom and had her bath. Coming out, she had a towel around her waist. The artist helped her to cream her body and dry her hair before helping her into the wedding.......It took a few struggles but finally she was in the dress. She was looking absolutely stunning too. Her makeup and hair was already done. Her makeup was light with smokey eye shadow and eyeliner making her cat eyes visibly. Red lipstick on her lips. A tiara on her beautifully made hair and a matching earrings and necklace.The wedding dress had no sleeves and there was a deep V- cut at the neck and back exposing her her cleavage and beautiful skin. Her body barely had the scars she had gotten from jail.Her beauty was definitely unmatched. She could make any man go blind just by her sight and make any woman feel jealous or insecure"You look absolutely beautiful miss" the makeup artist said admiring her handiwork on Lisa's face."Thank you" Lisa responded softly. She definitely wasn't happy with how she looked.She was too pretty for her liking. She suddenly wished that the makeup artist had done the opposite of what her mom had told her.It was every girl's dream to look forward to her wedding but here she was despising herself for getting married.No matter what her mom had done, Lisa couldn't bring herself to hate her mom for forcing her neither could she blame her. Rather she heaped the blame on herself.A soft knock was heard and the door opened. Andy walked in already dressed in his tuxedo. He looked so matured too like he was well into his twenties meanwhile he was just seventeen. He was looking so handsome in it. He's definitely going to be an eye catching sight for women in future."Lisa" he called out softly. Lisa turned to him. Tears were already rolling down his cheeks. Lisa hugged him trying to hold herself from crying so as not to destroy her makeup.He was taller than Lisa but not too talk so she rested her chin on his shoulder."Why didn't you leave when i told you too?! None of this would have happened" he said sobbing hugging Lisa tighter." Am sorry Andy." Her cracked voice resounded in his ears making him cry more."Stop crying please" Lisa broke the hug and wiped his tears. " Your too big for that. Tears are for weak boys. But you Andy, you are strong. Very strong" Lisa cooed and Andy sniffed." No am not. Mom didn't let me see you. It felt like hell. Now that I can see you, your leaving. Please don't go" he pleaded more tears flowing from his eyes.Lisa was trying so hard to control her tears. Any moment from now and she will also be in tears."I can't Andy. Am sorry. Take care of Mom while am gone okay" she whispered softly." No. " Andy yelled jerking her arm away shocking Lisa. "First it's Lia and now you." Andy half yelled again and Lisa hugged him immediately so tight. She kept on hugging him while stroking his hair till he calmed down."Be strong Andy. For me and mom" she said and he nodded after getting a grip of himself."Thank you "Meanwhile, the makeup artist wiped the tears from her eyes. She was getting emotional watching the two siblings who were emotional too."It's time Miss" she suddenly announced and Lisa nodded slightly.****The car alighted in front of the venue. Lisa was in awe seeing how many car were parked. She was even more surprised at how big her venue was. The decorations and lights and the cars that drove in all screamed one thing. WEALTH!!Whoever she was getting married to was definitely wealthy. No scratch that, they were filthy RICH.Her mouth refused to close as she continued admiring everywhere.The wedding had already started and she was told the groom was inside on the altar waiting for her. The whole congregation were already sitted inside awaiting the arrival of the bride.Andy would be the one to walk her down the aisle. She was in front of the entrance waiting for the right moment. Her hand was interlocked with Andy's own.Her mom came to her side and whispered in her ears. "Remember that they mustn't find out that you aren't Lia. Else the consequences will be dire and you'll face it alone"Lisa gulped hard hearing that. Her hand was shaking as she held her bouquet of flowers. Her legs suddenly felt weak.All the self support and encouragement she has been muttering to herself dwindled over the words she heard.The procession started and Andy gave her a sweet smile and squeezed her hand encouragingly.She nodded in return and they slowly started walking down the aisle .Lisa heart was drumming against her chest. It was so loud in her ears that she was scared people would hear it too.She was too nervous to look at the faces staring at her. She felt like they were boring holes in her body. Apart from that she could feel glares too. Girls were glaring too.Why wouldn't they? She was literally getting married to America's potential bachelor. The most wanted man by many women.Ofcourse Lisa didn't know that yet. She just kept her head up high. If whoever she would be marrying is this wealth, then she would have to behave like a lady from the upper class she was.All she could see of him was his broad back and his shoulders. Lisa could tell that he wasn't just an ordinary man. Her heart kept beating fast as she neared him.Soon she reached him. Andy left her hand making Lisa head to drop nervously till she saw a hand outstretched to her. She slowly raised her head up and her eyes widened in shock.She was getting married to the most exotic bachelor of all times: Alexander Bills.She slowly accepted his hand as she climbed the pulpit. She was too nervous and scared to look at him directly. She kept her gaze at his collar bone admiring it and his jawline.Standing next to him, Lisa could feel the cold air surrounding. It was suppressing and suffocating at the same time making him more domineering.With shaky hand ,she took her ring while he took his and they said their vows even though Lisa sounded unsure and uncertain about those vows ever being fulfilled."Is there anyone who is against the union of these two? Please speak up or forever hold your peace" The priest asked and Lisa held her breath hoping that something will come up to prevent her from marrying his devil in front of her.Even though she didn't know him personally, she at least knew his personality and from the rumours she heard, they weren't good ones. Many people dreaded the man she was getting married to. He was the most feared and respected personality in the world.Plus rumour had it that he w
"wait what?!. What are you doing? Take those nasty stuff off my son's hand. How dare you arrest him?" Alice immediately rushed to the policeman to stop him. She pointed her index finger at Alex hatefully."He should be the one you should be arresting not my son. What are you doing? " She yelled with tears in her eyes." We are arresting him for false accusations and defamation" the policeman replied. He was nervous but he tried not to show it."False accusations... We gave you proof already" Chris yelled angry at how things was backfiring. He turned to Alex and glared at him. He knew he must have done something in the shadows. Seems like he anticipated Chris plan."Your proof are counterfeit Mr Chris. And have been dismissed for being fake. However, Mr Alex ordered your arrest" the policeman explain as he tried to walk Chris out of the hall but he refused to bulge."I won't allow you take my son" Alice said gritting her teeth hard after hearing the proof they brought was claimed to be
Say one more bad thing about Lisa and you'll regret it" a Masculine voice cut Wendy short and she froze.Wendy felt her heart jump out of her ribcage thinking it was Alex who spoke but she calmed down when she turned and found Josh, her crush standing there.Lisa could recognize Josh voice anywhere. She looked up with teary eyes at him. Josh felt his heart ache seeing her tears and his anger against Wendy multiplied.He walked up to her."How dare you call Lisa a slut?" He asked. Rage was clearly heard in his voice. Wendy shivered hearing his voice. He has never been so cold to her before."But that's what she is Josh. You don't know her as I do" Wendy sneered at Lisa.Josh grabbed her arm hatefully. His grip on her hand was tight with his nails piercing her soft skin making her wince in pain"I dare you tall call her a slut one more time" he gritted against her face, his grip not loosening for once from her hand."Your hurting me Josh" Wendy cried out as a tear slipped from the corner
Seeing her on the floor, Mrs Ruth smiled proudly. And so did Mrs Williams.Mrs Williams squatted to her level and brought her lips closer to her ears."Very soon, my son-in-law will discover the truth about you and there will be no one to save you from his claws. Bl**dy whore" she cursed at Lisa before getting up and walking away with Mrs Ruth.The guest also left her crying. No one wanted to help a slut afterall.She was left crying on the floor.The word of the guest calling her a slut and whore kept on ringing in her head driving her crazy. She held her head while crying harder. Soon her cries decreased but the pain she felt in her heart didn't."Ma'am" she heard a male voice call to her. "Please get up and follow me" he said not minding the fact that she was crying.He didn't even bother to help her up . Lisa struggled and got up and looked at him. He was dressed formally. Looking prim and proper."Who-who are you?" Lisa stuttered."Mr Alex sent me to get you and take you home as h
His eyes got redder by the minute as he watched the video of what just happened in the wedding hall to his wife. How her mother and friend maltreated her..Everyone in the room could feel temperature in the room drop to zero degrees. The guards most especially were shaking in fear. They knew how quick to anger their boss is."Where were y'all when this happened?" His deep voice resounded in the room. The room was dark with a dimmed red light which was barely enough as no one could see their boss expression. Even if they could , they wouldn't be able to read his expression because it's always blank."I asked a question" he questioned when no one answered him. His voice sounded calmer than before but everyone knew that was just a faze. They could deduce the tone he had used which made them know that he was far from being calm."We were attending to other matters sir" a guard summoned courage to answer. A smirk left his lips."More important than my wife?" Alex voice had a tone of amusem
Her eyes were filled with tears as she made her way into the house. She didn't even take notice of her surrounding as she followed the guard blindly into the house. They climbed the stairs and soon halted in front of a door."Your room miss. Young master will be back soon to join you" the guard informed and she smiled wryly before nodding.She entered and closed the door forgetting to lock it. She immediately broke down in tears crying her eyes balls out.Why was life so unfair to her? Just why?? Some years ago, she returned back to her mom and sister after spending 5 years of her childhood with her grandparent. Everything was going smoothly. They were fatherless but they were happy. No worries of any sort.Till her and Lia graduation came. Lia was raped. Lisa recalled that night vividly. She had searched for Lia everywhere in the school premises but she was no where to be found. She even asked some dudes if they had seen her.Unknown to her, Lia who was held hostage by two boys watch
"arrgghhhh" Chris kept on hitting the iron bars which held him captive. "Open this damn cell. Do you know who I am?" He yelled.Both he and his mother have been in the cell since morning after they were arrested. They called their lawyer but he hasn't shown up since morning and they doubted he would show up at all.It was obvious that Alex pulled some strings to avoid him getting out of prison soon."Will you quit causing a nuisance here?!!" An officer snapped at Chris which he returned with a glare but the officer didn't care. "One more yell from you and I assure you, you won't like what I'll do to you" he threatened.Chris gritted his teeth. " How dare you threaten me?!!! How dare you!!" He yelled and the officer used his baton and wacked it on his head hard.Chris yelled in pains attracting his mother attention. She rushed to her son and held him while he wince in pain."How dare a lowlife like you hit my son?" She yelled at the guard who rolled his eyes."Yell one more time and w
"who are you?" Lisa gulped hard at his question. Was she finally caught? Did he find out that she is not Lisa? How did he find out so soon?Lisa tried to recall if she had done anything to give him a benefit of doubt but there's none she could remember.She blinked twice before looking away. "I don't understand. Am Lia your wife. We got married yesterday, remember? " She asked hoping that he hasn't figure out the truth yet."Mmm, I remember. That birthmark on your neck. It wasn't there the last time we met" he said tactfully before pushing a strand of hair behind her ears.Lisa shuddered at his touch in nothing but fear. Subconsciously, she placed her hand on the birth mark covering while under Alex hawk eyes watching her every movement and reaction."Oh this" she gave out a nervous laugh while caressing the birthmark. "You know am not really proud I have it. So I usually use makeup to conceal it. That's probably why you haven't noticed it till now" she gave the best excuse she could
