"Marrying you would definitely be the worst mistake I would have made. We are over!""You lie! Not when I got the ring already." She wriggled her fingers at him."It's okay Diane. What the hell is going on, Connor? people are watching!""Tell her to apologize to Nancy or this wedding is over!""Why will you do that to her?" She asked her son, referring to Diane"I was engaging in a polite conversation with Nancy when she badged in and ridiculed her. You want me to marry a woman that has no respect for people because they are not of the same status as we are?""I know I'm a terrible person with terrible behavior but I don't need a terrible partner to compliment me.""It's fine, She doesn't have to. I'm not angry. I have no right to b...." She was saying but Connor cut her off by glaring at her."Just apologize baby. So we can enjoy the party." Lilian pleaded to Diane."Apologize to a maid? I did nothing wrong, Mom. Look, tonight's our night and he's holding hands with her, tell me why
"Like I care about you or what you think. And I won't fall for your dirty threats.""Oh really? I can't wait to see the look in these evil eyes of yours when you find out my words aren't a mere threat.""I can't waste my time dealing with you." She excused herself. Nadia didn't block her way this time around."Just as you should. Before I do something that I'm not going to regret to you."The moment she went away with her troubles, Nadia sighed. Her eyes met with Nancy and her heart went out to her.She approached Nancy who already had Galdino by her side. He was trying to dry the water on her body with a dried cloth.Knowing he was struggling with it, especially with Nancy's face since the makeup was starting to smear, She collected the handy towel from Galdino."Please let me have it. You can go. I'll take care of this""Are you sure about this Ma'am? I can stay and help.""It's cool, I've got this."He nodded, handing over the clothe."Are your quarters open?""No, ma'am.""I thoug
"Where's your Best friend?" Connor asked, approaching Bessie and Ivan who had their tongues in each other's mouths.The duo pulled away."Were you guys not together just now?""Did you really have to interrupt us?"Bessie and Ivan said respectively, making Connor glare at them."She could be anywhere! She's your babe, go find her." Ivan replied, wanting to go back to his intimate position with Bessie."Were you not just hitting on a blondie?""What blondie?" Bessie asked."Ignore him, Babe. He's just cranky and wants to cause trouble for us."Ivan circled a hand around her waist."Whatever makes you sleep at night! Where's Diane?""Dude, maybe you should tie her to you. That way, you won't get to lose her."Connor rolled his eyes, looking around to see if he could sight her anywhere."It's good to see you worrying about her. That's very sweet. But I'm sure she's doing okay.""She's been anticipating tonight for a while and it would be so dumb of her to ghost her engagement party.""Oh,
Nancy was literally frozen where she stood. She had no idea what the cause of her increased heart rate was. The fact that he was standing too close to her enough to make her forget everything else? The fact that his sister saw them in this position and assumed she had feelings for him when all she wanted was for him to let her be or the fact that he just said something which made her doubt if she heard him well.Connor held her hands, staring deep into her eyes, with the hope that she was going to give him the response he wanted to hear."Say something!""What?" She snapped out of her fearful thoughts"Tell me to call off the wedding.""Why?" Her voice came out hoarse."Because you want me to.""Why?" She said again since that was the only thing she could think of."Stop beating about the bush, Nancy. I know you heard me well.""I just wanted to be sure I heard you well. Why would you want me to say something like that?""Because only you have the power to stop this wedding.""How? I
"Where have you been?" Lilian asked her daughter the moment Nadia approached her at the reception."I'm good. You're enjoying the party?"Lilian frowned. "Where have you been?""Come on, Mom. You worry too much.""Oh please!' Lilian rolled her eyes. "One second you were with Maliya and the next minute, She came asking me for you.""My cousin is a pain in the ass. You know how clingy she can be. So I took some time off. I was in the kitchen."Lilian chuckled, "I know Maliya is a talkative but really? You only get to see your extended family once in a while and you avoid them?""Lenora's keeping them company so it's all good.""Yeah, sure! My grandbaby is the star of the night. I can't wait for her to have little cousins so they will start running around the mansion together.""Good thoughts," Nadia mumbled, nodding."But Mom, are you happy?"She frowned. "What do you mean?""About the whole thing?""What's with the question? Of course, I am. This is really a dream come true for your Da
Four weeks later"Stop being lazy, Ivan. It can't be that bad. Just check out a few more stores. I'm sure you will find something that matches my taste." Connor sighed, plopping down on the chair behind his desk with his phone glued to his ear."I'm going to curse you if you keep telling me what to do.""Isn't this your duty?""Oh, now you know it's my duty. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't do last-minute, errands, runs, or favors.""Come on dude," Connor groaned."No. I'm not going to let you manipulate me. Not this time. It's high time you started facing the consequences of your rude decisions.""You've literally shut me out since your engagement party. You ignore me every fucking time I reached out to you. Dior sent four freaking staff to come over to take your measurements since you wouldn't show up for your scheduled appointments, you literally told your security to chase them away, and here you are, bugging me for an emergency outfit?!""Dude, I don't care if I look like
"Why are you furious? Not that you are a saint or whatever!""Right?! My fault for having a fling with you in the first place.""Come on, Connor. I saw how you were stealing glances at me this morning at the meeting. Being a married man doesn't mean we can't be a thing and have our own fun.""You need help, Alicia.""No. I know what I'm doing and I feel you should commend me for being sincere.""Why would you even think I would sign these papers?""You find it hard to come close to me again so I felt having a prenup like this would put your mind at ease. That way we can have our fun while you stay married and wouldn't have to bother about anything.""It's okay if you need more time to go through the agreement. I made it really flexible but you are free to suggest any changes as far as it benefits the two of us."Connor picked up the few pages document on the table along with the envelope and tore them into two pieces."What the heck, Connor?" She rose to her feet."Do you know how muc
"Whatttt?" Nancy stared in shock at Rita with her heart rate brutally going up and down."Oh please, spare me that crap and stop behaving all innocent!" Lilian's voice came through."Sis," Rita tried to caution Lilian upon seeing how scared Nancy was."What? Let's call a spade a spade, Rita. What the hell is all of these? I can't believe I have to deal with all this bullshit right now!!!""Stop panicking, we still have to take the test to know the way forward.""Come on, what fucking test? You know your onions well enough for me to start doubting you.""Just calm down. And please stop walking up and down." Rita turned her attention to Nancy, still holding her hands, she could see the terrified look on Nancy's face and apart from that, she could see unshed tears in her eyes which made her give her hand a light squeeze."How.....www come?" She found herself whispering, finding it very hard to wrap her mind around what Rita told her."Dear God, please save me from murdering someone today
