"So by tomorrow I will be a married woman, I don't even know how to feel about it,"

Natalie said as they sat at the balcony their usual talking spot, Natalie's wedding was tomorrow and they decided to have a girl's night before her wedding, Nicole thought that Natalie will spend the night at the hotel where most of their guests were spending the night but she decided to spend the night here at home, even their parents were at the hotel close to the chapel where the wedding will take place. but Natalie had decided that she wanted to go from home, her stylist and makeup artist were all in the house already.

The past couple of weeks have been hectic for Natalie, she had to pick a venue and see that it's one of her likings as Rafael had said he was useless in that aspect, he told her that wherever she choose he will go with it and that has stressed Natalie out a lot.

    “That’s not bad but give people a chance, you might not find anyone if you keep hiding,”Natalie responded.“That’s the thing, I don’t like people,”"Tish, that's why you are still single, just give people a chance and you will discover it's not that hard, aside from me, do you even have any friends?"Natalie asked, shaking her head."Yes, one, her name is Grace,"Nicole revealed. Grace wasn't really all that her friend but at least they chatted a lot and she sometimes just up and called her even though they mostly talk about art."Really? How come I don't know this person?""She works at my favorite art store, the place your fiance bought, she works at Vhrisma, and we talk a lot but she hasn't been to our house,""Oh, and you didn’t invite her to the wedding?""Hmm, she is antisocial like me and wouldn't come even if I tell her to,""Oh, I see,"Natalie responded and they went silent.They spent the rest of the hours talking about anything and everything. The next morning Nicole was

    "What do you mean Natalie? I thought we talked about this? You are getting married in less than three hours, we are supposed to be on our way to the chapel soon, why the sudden change?"Nicole asked, confused as to how to handle this, it was so not what she expected and she hadn't prepared for this. After their discussion yesterday it had crossed her mind but she had shoved it because Natalie had assured her that she won't bailout."I can't do this, I can't get married now,""You said yesterday that you won't bail out, why are you doing this now Natalie? What happened? You were excited until a few minutes ago, I just went to my room and bang, you decided you don't want to be married again, what are you going to do? ""I don't know yet, I just know I don't want to be married,""You should have thought of that since it took two months or more to plan this wedding, you gave out invitations to people, not just any kind of people, big people, our relatives traveled from far, you got the m

    "Hey Ina, what's up, I wanted to check up on how things are going on there,"She asked when Ina picked up."Nothing much yet but people are starting to arrive, where are you guys?""Still at home, the bride is not yet ready,""Oh, but you have to get here before time, I think the groom has arrived,""Alright, thanks,"Nicole said and ended the call, why was everyone arriving so early, the wedding wasn't until ten and it was just past eight, they still have at least two hours, Nicole walked back to Natalie 's room but she was nowhere to be seen, wondering where she went to, she ran downstairs looking for her, she checked their parent's room, the guest room but she wasn't there."Oh, no, this was bad, Natalie come on,"She said running back upstairs into her sister's room, she was there."What the fuck? I just came here and you weren't here and I have been looking for you and now you are here, where did you go to?""To get this,"She said pointing, showing her what she had in her hands

    Nicole paced around the room, looking for a way to get through to Natalie without overdoing it, how could she use their town bond? She loved her sister but sometimes she makes it impossible to love her, and the fact that she had planned on not attending the wedding in the first place and now she was using a promise they made when they were kids against her, so manipulative and inconsiderate of others."Natalie, if that's what you want, then so be it, I can't marry a man I don't care about just to please you, and what's more he doesn't even know I exist and with the way it going to be, I will be married to him as someone else, no thank you,"Nicole said meaning every word, she had done enough for Natalie without expecting anything from her in return, her twin on the other hand have done nothing for her except use her for her own benefits."Nicole, I have the paper here we are both going to sign it, I promise I will be back but please don't say no, Rafael will destroy our family if I

    Rafael checked his watch for the hundredth time, his bride to be was late, over an hour late, he tried her line again but it still wasn't going through, people were already seated, her parents were here too, everyone else was here except her and her sister, what the fuck was going on? He thought, pacing up and down in the room he had rented at the chapel. He just spoke to her parents and they couldn't reach her nor her sister. What kind of game was the bitch playing?"Hey, man any progress? The priest is starting to ask questions, have you been able to reach her?"Caleb who was acting as his best man asked as he entered the room, Rafael bit his lips and shook his head."Nothing, I can't get through to her, her parents sent someone to check the house but they aren't back yet."He explained, hoping this wasn't what he thought it was because if it turned out to be it, he would make her pay for bringing shame to him, he won't stop until she crumble completely, her family and their busines

    Nicole nervously stood next to her dad as the officiating minister or MC she didn't know what he was, announced her entrance, she let out a nervous breath wondering how it would seem like if she just told the truth right now and be done with it, it sure won’t end up good for them and she was sure of it."Why did it take you so long to get here? You kept everyone waiting for hours”Her dad asked in a low but stern voice, Nicole bit hard on her lips to prevent herself from saying anything stupid or insulting, it wasn’t her dad’s fault he was pissed for her being late and rightfully so even though his anger was directed at the wrong person, he didn’t know that."I had to take Nat**, I mean Nicole to the airport,"She said biting her inner lips, she almost said Natalie, well it will take a while to get used to, honestly, right now, all she wants to do is turn and run, but then it was too late to run, she shouldn't have accepted to help, she regretted it, but right now except she wants to

    After the church activities, the ceremony was moved to an event hall that she hadn't known about, she didn't really know much because she didn't bother to ask, all she thought was after the wedding everyone goes home but there was an after-party with even more people, cameras everywhere, various people coming to take photos with her, people she didn't even know, they still haven't had their couples dance so she knew it was far from over."Are you okay?"Her new husband, more like Natalie's new husband asked."Do I look okay? I have been smiling nonstop for photos with different people I don't even give a fuck about, why do I have to do this? Why are there so many cameras around and just how many more photos of me in the same dress are they going to take?"She asked, doing her best not to shout."What's wrong with you acting like you are new to this? You are always in the spotlight so this should be easy, in fact, you are the one that said there should be freedom to take photos,"Rafae

    "Do we really have to go for a honeymoon? We can just stay in Florida, I honestly don’t think there is any need for us to leave the country,”Nicole said as their car left the venue, Rafael had just told a man he greeted a while before he got into the car that they were heading out of town for their honeymoon, she didn't like the idea of leaving Florida, not only did she not want to be left alone with Rafael, she didn’t want them away from where she knew."Why are you asking like you are just hearing about this? You suggested it and picked the location. Honestly, did you hit your head and lose your memory because you have been acting as if you did and I am beginning to worry, do we need to see a doctor?"Rafael asked, he sounded like he meant what he was saying, if only he knew that this was more than a memory loss."No, it's fine, I am just stressed out that's all,""Are you sure? First, you had a problem with the photographers you requested for, then the cake wasn't of your liking

    Three months later...Nicole watched as the reporters made a report that was concerning her."The wedding ceremony of two most talked about couples in the past few months is happening today and we are all living for it, the couple who are expecting their first child soon decided to tie the knot before their baby is born, and the whole country is looking forward to today,"The reporter said, Nicole laughed touching her tummy which has gotten bigger over the last three months, she was currently in her sixth month of pregnancy and everything has been blissful for the past three months, her life has been perfect in every way, she had family and friends and most especially Rafael with her and nothing could beat that."You know you are going to be late if you just sit there watching TV and smiling to yourself,"Natalie announced as she walked into her room, she was ready and looked so pretty in her simple yet so beautiful bridesmaid dress, both she and Grace were her bridesmaid."I can't be

    She walked back towards her ward in a sad mood, she needed to speak with Rafael and hoped he come back soon, instead of going back to the room, she opted for going to the hospital rooftop, she asked for directions and was shown the way up, she saw a few people up there and went to the more quiet side, sat down and brought out her phone from the hospital gown pocket, she had found the phone next to her when she woke up this morning, she thought she had lost it but thankfully not, she played with the phone before dialing his number, it didn't go through, maybe he turned it off, she wished he could just appear in front of her, she needed to talk to him, they have been separated for too long, she wanted him back now."Rafael,"She whispered his name."What are you doing here on your own, I have been looking everywhere for you,"She heard his voice and turned to see him waving at her, she stood up from where she sat, he appeared, she smiled when he did before bursting into tears, he ran t

    Nicole looked around when she woke up again, Rafael wasn't by her side anymore, she looked to where Natalie was seated with Aron by her side, they were talking in whispers, she had told him to go and not return until he has gotten enough rest, he didn't want to leave so she had yelled at him to get out of her presence, it was harsh but she needed him to take care of himself too, she didn't want him to be careless with his health, he had surgery and he wasn't taking care of himself, imagine how scared she had been when all she wanted was to playfully hit him yet she ended up hurting him, the look of pain in his eyes had sent a shiver of fear down her body, she expected to see him again at least before she went to sleep last night but he hadn't shown up, when she woke up this morning, she had looked around for him too, she knew she told him to rest and he needed it but she had things to tell him, it was almost afternoon and he still wasn't back."Nicole, you are awake,"Natalie said as

    "What happened?"The doctor asked looking at his hand."I mistakenly hit it somewhere and it is so fucking painful,"He said as the doctor helped him remove his shirt, he saw that his hand was bleeding again, Nicole didn't even hit hard enough for him to be bleeding this much."This is why I told you to look after yourself but you claimed to be fine, now we have to do a restitch or it might get infected and that's not good,"The doctor said to him as he placed a call across, it happened so fast, one minute he was watching the doctor give out instructions to whoever on the other side of the call, and the next minute, he saw himself falling, his head spinning and he couldn't control himself, he heard the doctor yell for someone and that was all he could remember.When he woke up again, he was back on the bed he had run away from, with the doctor, not the one he was with earlier but another doctor fixing something on the drip near his bed."You are awake, you stubborn man, you nearly kil

    Rafael looked around the room he was in, the pain in his hands finally subsided, he got up and pulled his shirt on just as the door opened."Oh, you are up,"Lance said walking up to him."Yes, were you here throughout the night?""No, I just came in, I had to go to the police station, the other man was arrested this morning, but sadly Leonard died on the way to the hospital last night,"Lance revealed."What about my wife and her sister? Are they awake yet?"He asked standing on fixing his trousers."I don't know yet, I came straight here when I was told you are here, I can go and check for you if you want,"He offered."No, that's fine I will go myself,""I don't think that's advisable seeing that you had surgery a few hours ago,"Lance said trying to block his way."I am fine, don't you have things to do?""Yes, I will be on my way, call me if you need anything,"Lance said as they both walked out of his hospital room, they parted ways as Rafael walked straight to the doctor's offi

    "Nicole?"She heard her name, it wasn't just anyone calling her name it was Rafael, he came, he was here, he came for her."Don't come any closer, don't fucking come closer or she will be dead,"Leonard yelled holding on to Nicole, he pointed the gun at her, Rafael slowed down for a moment, she wanted to run to him, run into his embrace but she knew doing that would be catastrophic, so she stayed still."Rafael,"She cried"Baby, it will be fine I got you,"He said, she couldn't make out his face properly, the room wasn't dark as before but her eyes were blinded by tears and her body tried."Let her go, Leonard, let her go, she didn't do anything to you, fucking let her go,"He told Leonard who pulled her even closer and pressed the gun to her face."You think I am a fool? I should let her go? No way, if I go down, she dies,"He yelled at him pointing the gun at him."Let her go and face me, you moron,""Please don't Rafael don't provoke him, please,"She pleaded, her voice was almost

    After the talk with Rafael, Nicole couldn't fall asleep or do anything else again, she just sat and listened, Rafael said he will come and get them and she didn't want to be asleep when that happened, she told her sister to sleep so that she can be on watch, it seems like the younger guy finally left because she hasn't seen him since after their talk the other day. She silently prayed that Rafael will come for them tonight, she didn't want to spend a third night here, she wanted to go home, go home not to her family's mansion but to the house she shared with Rafael, even if he doesn't want to live in the mansion anymore she would stay with him at his new house, anywhere he was would be her home, she couldn't wait to tell him that she was sorry for everything and that she loves him so much,Nicole heard the noise in the distance, not just any kind of noise, vehicles were entering where they are, she quickly got up and walked to where Natalie lay."Natie? Natie? I think help is here, th

    "Baby? What baby?"He asked."Nicole is pregnant, I know she hadn't told you yet, and she would want to tell you herself but you have to know that my daughter is pregnant with your child and you have to get them back soon, this is not good for the baby,"She replied, he didn't know what to say, he didn't know Nicole was pregnant, she didn't say a word to him, he thought, God, he thought the doctor said she won't be able to get pregnant again, dies that mean. Oh God, he needed to get her back. Aron collected the phone from him and spoke to Nicole's parents while he sat there still in shock.The police, his own team, and even the twins' parents agreed that it would be better if they involved security to avoid any foul play, he reluctantly agreed.Leonard didn't call back, instead, he texted a location where they can meet for the exchange and it was game on.Preparation for the meet up was super easy, it was the easy part of the whole thing, he wanted to go alone, wanted to just give the
