"Oh jeez." Mirabel screamed aloud and then she shuts her mouth with her palm.
"What happened Mira?" A woman asks her. She walked towards her when Mira didn't give a reply.
She kept staring at the phone on her hand, her eyes wide opened in shock.
"What the hell happened?" The woman asked her while dragging the phone from her.
"Aunt, he actually sent her a text, a text!" She screamed again.
Her Aunt shut her up with her palm and they both were staring at the bride who was standing at the alter waiting for her groom. The bride-wearing a ball silverly designed wedding gown, was waiting patiently for her groom.
With her face still covered with a veil, her eyes squinting around in search of a clue. Her belove was supposed to be the one waiting at the alter, but for her it is the other way around.
It's already past 12pm, he still hasn't arrive, she started throwing tantrums, pacing around and yelling at everybody.When she turned to look at the priest with pleading eyes, she senses the inpatient in the priest's eyes, but still he held back his words and keeps waiting patiently for the groom.
The church was overcrowded with guests and the guest was staring at the bride. The bride's eyes couldn't desists the mocking eyes of the inpatient crowd.
"Aunt." She said with a frail voice as she turns to look at her Aunt.
She felt everything is against her, even the universe didn't want her to get married. There is no way in which she could possibly bear to stay there for another minute.
"Relax, we will figure things out. I will talk to Margret she already went over to him to check what the problem is." She says to the bride who was looking distressed.
A lady walked into the church and keeps making gestures at her Aunt. Her Aunt walk away from her when her eyes met with that of lady walking towards the alter from the front door of the church.
"Hey Margret." Her Aunt Silvia calls out to the woman.
"Hey." Margret replies as she drags Silvia over to a corner and showed her a video of the groom getting married to someone else same day in another church.
"Isn't that the..." Silvia asks but was shut by Margret.
"Keep it down, you want her to go crazy?" Magret silently scolded Silvia.
Both kept staring at the bride stunned at what they just watched."He actually sent her a text last night." Silvia said to Margret while staring at the bride.
"Really, what did he say?" Margret asked her whispering.
"He called off the wedding." Silvia responded as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Margret's jaw dropped, she never imagined a wedding could be called off with a text message and overnight.
The bride's eyes keeps drifting around and when she notice Silvia, Margret and her younger sister-Mirabel's eyes fix at her she is certain that they have gotten a clue to as where her fiance-Tom were.
She removed the veil on her head and walks towards her sister-
"Why are you so stunned like you have seen a ghost?" She asks her sister.
Mirabel has no idea what to tell her sister. She keeps looking at her with her heart burning for revenge. All she was doing at that moment was cursing at the groom who was busy getting married to another woman.
The bride walks to where Mirabel were, and drags the phone away from her, she slides the phone and entered the password.
Her heart keeps pounding fast and beating erratically like it was going to explode. She hasn't called him back since last night. He was going to discuss with her.
When the phone opened to her surprise her fiance was getting married to her chief bride's maid-her best friend Sam.
"What's happening?" She asked with a pair of pleading eyes and a quivering voice.
She was watching the live video but she didnt believed what she was seeing.Silvia, Mirabel and her friends was shocked, they didn't know how to explain the situation.
"Kitty" Silvia screamed when she saw her almost falling on the ground. She ran to where kitty were and caught her on her arms.
Kitty was frustrated and felt the whole thing must be a prank, she kept panting her heart trying to convince herself that it was merely a prank.
She tried to restrain the tears prickling her eyes but it was becoming next to impossible to contain them. The pain she was feeling in her heart hounded her. All she needed was a quick escape from there.
She couldn't bare to take the piercing gaze of the guest. She gripped her wedding gown tightly on her hands and ran towards the door. All she wanted to do was to get away from there as soon as it was humanly possible.
As soon as she reached outside the church, the green light on the traffic jam turned red. She missed it and would have to wait for another five minutes.
Just like everyone else, even fate was standing against her, thwarting her free will.She wasn't ready to stay there anymore, she felt she needed to be in the other church where her groom where, she needed to stop the wedding or perhaps the prank.
Cars kept driving fast beating traffic with every minute they got, three minutes passed by and it felt like she had been standing there for three hours. She lost patient and ran into the road.
She stood at the middle of the road, trying to stop a cab. The cab didn't stop but instead drove directly at her on high speed, she quickly jumped to the next lane to avoid being hit by the cab.
She stopped at the front of a 2021 BMW Camry car. Her eyes was tightly covered as she thought she was going to be hit by the car.
The car made a horrible sound from the back tyres, as it tried to take a break to avoid hitting her.
Kitty fell on the ground in the busy highway, a road she never crossed alone even if the traffic light was green and people cross by. She still wouldn't without being accompanied by someone else holding her hands tightly.But there she was, on the ground of the busy highway, the traffic light still red, no cars stopped at her silliness only the one which she was thwarting its way. Other cars behind the BMW took turns and joined the other lane, cursing at the crazy woman on her wedding dress probably trying to commit suicide they thought."Asshole""Bitch."Some drivers kept cursing at her before driving off.Before Kitty got up, the driver side of the car door opened and the driver walked out in fury-"What's wrong with you ma'am, if you want to commit suicide then go jump off the bridge." He yelled at her.Kitty helped herself up and arranged her hair with her hands totally ignoring the driver. She kept looking around for a taxi bu
It was an hectic day for Jason, he had come all the way from Las Vegas down to Cambonian town just to get away from his grandmother.His effort to take a break from all the heart wrenching and counterfeit life he had been living seems like it was going to be a waste as he was still being stalked by his controlling grandmother."Sir the car is ready." A man dressed up in a driver's uniform said to him.He sighed as he took his long coat on the couch and put it on, then he placed his cowboy hat on his head.He looked at the expensive Rolex watch on his hand and it was 10am."Is he gone?" He asked the driver."Yes he is sir. He left about 30mins ago." The driver responded.He walked to the terrace that was covered with curtain. He opened the curtain a bit and looked outside the street analyzing the cars packed opposite the hotel building, when he didn't find anything and anyone suspicious he sighed heavily.Ever si
Jason kept watching his driver struggling to get the woman off him, he didn't know why the woman gripped his driver by his pants, he thought to give them some minutes to finish it up, but within few seconds he ran out of patience, he dropped his phone and the file he was holding behind him and thought he would go and figure out what was happening."What the hell.." Jason groaned. He opened the car door and step out of the car. Just before he could take a step forward he heard his phone ringing.'Beep beep beep' His phone kept on ringing, he looked at the phone and tried to pick it up but it was not within his reach, he had stepped out of the car and the phone was at the other end."Hmm, later please." He groaned again as he slammed the car door.He walked to where his driver and the woman were, he bent his head to take a proper look at her. She looked chaordic in her messy wedding gown. He was quite amazed by the sight of a bride on her wedding gown, knee
She saw how the church was grandly decorated, she couldn't believe that Tom would spend so much on decoration. They planned a simple wedding because he kept complaining he didn't had any money to spend and waste on things that ain't important-and to Tom, decorating the church and the party hall was too much.Gripping her wedding gown, and gulping down her saliva every minute, Kitty walked slowly towards the church front door. Her heart kept pounding fast and her whole body shaking, what if it's actually Tom she thought and gripped her gown even tightly.She slightly opened her mouth audibly breathing heavily. When she got to the front of the church, she beheld the decorative entrance. It was lavishly decorated, hers was plain and they didn't even paid for booking, the priest was a friend of her Aunt.Her gaze travelled straight up to the alter, she espied how beautiful the bride's gown were, hers was cheap and plain, Tom told her he had no money, that they neede
As he watched the pathetic bride walking into the church of another's person's wedding, Jason couldn't resist the sight of her knees quivering. She looked like she was struggling with each step she took."Sir, should I go?" The driver asked.But he was focused on the pathetic bride. Watching her gripped her wedding gown tightly, made him scoffed piteously."Why come here if you don't want to?" He muttered to himself.His attention was suddenly divided when he saw a familiar face. It was the same man at the hotel. The man was holding the five year hold girl, and along side was a pretty blonde, she seemed like she was in her thirties. The man's hand was wrapped around her waist."What is this?" He muttered again to himself as he kept thinking that it was too much of a coincidence."Sorry Sir, I didn't get what you said." The driver said to him turning his head in ninet
JASONHis deep sea blue eyes which always portrays seductiveness and deep affection, admirable eyes that always graced his charismatic look were suddenly intruded by confusion as he stood there groaning silently in excruciating pain.Jason's confusion couldn't be masked as he kept beating himself hard on how he would escape the next bullet.The man's hand held tightly to the trigger and shot again at Jason.Jason ducked at the moment he saw the man released his hand from the trigger. He heard the silent sound of the bullet as it shot at the iron rod beside him.The man's gun had a silencer that made everyone not to notice what was happening.Jason's breath rapidly increased, as he glanced at the shooter. 'Pretty good' he thought of the shooter. The shooter seemed like a professional to him as he was able to shoot at him from such a
His heart ached when his gaze drifted towards the glass at the alter from whilst he could see the reflection of the hitter. Jason's heart started beating erratically, he knew he could escape getting shot, but the pathetic bride in front of him, whom he found charming in her dirty wedding gown would be hit. Flustered with no idea of how he would get over the situation, he gave up and set his gaze on the pathetic whom was glaring at the groom. 'How did I get here' He thought groaning in his soul. 'I should leave, and just get this over with, I will find someone else, I don't need to get married to this one, I will definitely meet someone else' He tried to convince himself, but then his feet refused to move, his heart had embraced the idea of getting married to Kitty. The fact that she would die if he make any move made his countenance ponderously changed
She couldn't stop staring at the stranger, thoughts of why he would want to get married to her overwhelmed her. She felt stuck in the middle of her own decision. Marrying him seems just fine and same time wrong, but if it's just for a week, what then could go wrong she thought.Emersed by his charming eyes and perfectly shape facial bone structure, seriously to her, there couldn't be anyone so perfect.Suddenly she felt his grip on her tighten and his eyes widely opened, he looked liked he'd seen a ghost which made her heart pound very fast."Is he a psycho? Why hold me so tight? why look like he just saw a ghost?" Thoughts run through her mind as she tries to get his hands off her.But in an instance she felt his hand swing her around"What the hell?" She screamed.She fixed her eyes on his, staring at him with so much rage, kitty r

"Kitty said you surprised her with Mira's arrival, so she wanted to do the same to you, " Aunt Silvia said to Jason. "Well, it is indeed a wonderful surprise and fit for the occasion." Jason smiled. "What occasion?" Kitty asked wondering what Jason meant. Her gaze drifted from Jason to Mira thinking that they were up to mischief, but to her surprise, Mira had no idea of what Jason was talking about. "Why don't we have dinner together, as a family, I will get grandma." Jason walked out straight to Madamme Rosa's room. When he got there he meant the caregiver combing her hair, Jason sent Charity away and took the comb from her. "I know a lot has happened, and it's too bad we got here. I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me, I'm finding it hard to forgive you, every day I pray, hoping that one day I will awake and hold no grudge against you, but those prayers haven't been answered."
It's been a month since Lucia's death. Jason buried her right next to his parents. Every day he would visit and place a flower on her grave and that of her parents as well. Most times Kitty followed him, but sometimes he felt like going alone and never pestered her. He was bemoaning, he never left the house except to the grave. He would lock himself up in his study every night and inundate himself in bottles of whiskey, in the morning he always had a hangover but lied to Kitty that he was sick. Luca kept on rescheduling his meeting with the board members at the Alfredo's but Jason missed every one of them.He was shattered, yet he pretended to be okay. ... The night wind was extremely cold that evening, Jason had just finished having dinner with his family. Like his normal routine for a month now, he went from the dining and locked himself up in his study. He opened the fridge in his study and found only one bottle of whiskey le
From the look in his eyes, she realized that he must be dying of regret. She couldn't stop him from leaving. She waited for him to come back but he was taking forever.She was pacing around in the living room anxiously, she prayed for Lucia to be unharmed. When it was late, she tried to call him. But then Luca answered his phone.Kitty asked him about Jason and he told her what had happened. Words left her lips, she didn't know what else to say. She knew that he definitely would not easily recover from such loss. After the call, she waited around in the living room, waiting for him to come.It was already past 9 pm and yet he was still out. She was dizzy but yet couldn't sleep. Her heart was unsettled.She thought to check on Mira to make sure she was alright. As soon as she walked inside Mira's room she switched on the lights."Kitty is that you?" Mira sat on her bed."Hey, don't do that laydown." Kitty rushed to the
Jason walked out of the room down to his study. He emptied a bottle of whiskey. Then it crossed his mind that his grandmother was still locked up. He rushed to his room to get the keys from the pants he wore earlier.When he entered the room, it was stuffy. He found his grandmother all dressed up with makeup on. He wondered why she had worn makeup. Jason scoffed as he walked closer to her."Why would an old wan wear makeup?" He mocked her.Madamme Rosa ignored him as though he wanted there. She was placing her earrings on her ears, when she was done she looked at Jason who was standing by her mirror."How do I look?" She asked Jason."Ugly." He scoffed at her. "No makeup will be good enough to cover your wicked heart. Kitty an unborn baby, and your son, and you think that by wearing makeup you would be able to hide that darkness inside of you?" Jason walked closer to her."Maybe not. If I were as wicked as you say, why didn't I
Jason couldn't believe what was happening, he kept screaming and wanted to go into the fire. But he was held back by the police there. He fell to his knees wailing bitterly. All that was in his head was Lucia's voice promising him that she was going to be at the mansion that morning. He wished he had realized she wouldn't be coming, he wished he didn't allow her to leave him at the hotel.Regrets were all that engulfed him. He wanted to turn back the hands of time, for one last chance to treat her better. But it was impossible, and that made him even more depressed. He kept beating his chest severally. On his knees, he remained there, with his head bent on the ground.The police were shocked at the sight, even the bodyguards that escaped the fire as well as the employees, no one knew that Jason was Lucia's brother.With the hope to figure out why he was affected, one of the police officers decided to approach Jason. But Jason pushed him to the
"You still have the guts to tell at me, better start respecting yourself or your favorite daughter will go boom" Lucia pressed on the lighter to lite and placed it close to Camilla's hair."Now behave, you have to be a good boy Daddy." Lucia laughed.I Alfredo was glaring at her, wishing he could just slap her and kill her himself."After everything I did for you, you have the guts to pour gasoline on my daughter. You are an animal." He yelled at her."After everything you've done for me?" Lucia raised her brows in shock, and paddled slowly towards him "What exactly did you do for me, Alfredo?" She yelled at him."Was it the constant hitting? or being yelled at? What exactly have you done for me? Because I remember nothing, absolutely nothing, that's how horrific my childhood was because of you." She slapped Mr. Alfredo."What did you expect from me, a fatherly love, when you were a child I never fathered, and from a monster of a family, you don
BEFORE THE FIRE AT THE ALFREDO'S MANSION 16 HOURS AGO Lucia wasn't certain how she would escape, but all she wanted was for Kitty and Jason to be able to leave the hotel without any harm. After finding out Jason was indeed her brother, she was frustrated but then, she felt somewhat lucky. Since staying at the hotel, Lucia was busy going through every photo she has of Jason, she found it interesting that he was indeed her brother. She wished she knew earlier, and despite the feud between their families, she and Jason never really had any personal fights until Kitty came along. ... At the hotel, after Kitty killed Carlos, Lucia took it upon herself to distract her father's men so Kitty and Jason could flee. When she got to the lobby, she was surrounded by fifty of her father's men. She surrendered and so did Philip. They apprehended her and handcuffed her in one of the vans they came with, both her and Philip. "Take her to th
When he walked inside the ICU, he saw that Mira was already awake. It had been such a long day. He had dark circles around his eyes. "You are awake." Jason walked up to Mira. "Yes, I am. Kitty is so worried, why did you leave her here alone?" Mira questioned Jason. "I went out for work. I couldn't delay it." He sat close to Kitty and whispered in her ears"Why make her worried about you?" "Shut up," Kitty whispered back. They joked and laughed. Jason ordered breakfast as it was already past 6 am. After eating, Kitty told Jason that it will be best they take Mira home and a doctor to tend to her. Jason understood pretty well, that Kitty still felt threatened by Alfredo and didn't know when they see will attack. Jason hired a doctor from the same hospital Mira was receiving treatment from. They discharge Mira and they all went back home. She was laid on the bed and the equipment needed for her treatment like the oxygen just in c
