Connor stood still as he watched Nancy walk out of his room as fast as her legs could carry her. He felt a pang in his chest the moment she slammed the door, but he didn't move an inch from where he stood for a few minutes as he kept on wondering what went wrong.He was brought out of his thoughts by his ringtone. Connor sighed, then headed over to his bed where he placed his phone earlier.As much as he wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, he still wanted to know who it was.He rolled his eyes in exhaustion when he picked up his phone and saw that it was Diane calling.He reluctantly picked up."Hey babe," Her cheerful voice came through."Hi.""Is anything the matter? You sound disturbed."I'm fine, why did you call?""Oh, I just wanted to thank you for the gifts. They are so beautiful! I love them so much. Thank you."Connor frowned, "The flowers? Cynthia brought them already?""Yes, the flowers are so beautiful. But I'm not just talking about the flowers. The other gifts too. The
"Definitely! A party filled with men without sexy chicks is like a gay party.""Whatever! Don't forget to text me the address.""Of course! There will be no party without the celebrant.""Is that all? I've got work to do.""Maybe! See you tonight.""Tonight? Not sure I'll be coming to the club. I'm attending dinner at Diane's parents' place.""Yeah, that's what I meant. See you there.""You were invited? I thought it was a close family thing?""Diane's best friend was invited so she invited me as her date. I couldn't say NO to a free home-cooked meal.""Do you mean free meal or free pussy?""Stop being a hater, Dude!""Whatever! I'm a bit relieved you are going to be there though!"Ivan chuckled."From what I know, Diane's parents are really chilled. They've got the same vibes as their daughter. I wouldn't worry a bit if I were you.""Whatever! See you tonight."Ending the call with his best friend, Connor went back to his desk where he occupied himself with work for a couple of hours
Diane chuckled. "You all were so engrossed in yourselves that you forgot that there are cameras everywhere."Bessie blushed while Ivan smiled."Just look, don't I have the most handsome son-in-law ever?"Connor put on a polite smile. Diane's mom was as energetic as her daughter, filled with the same bright energy, and reminded him so much of his mother.Despite their age, they were still looking so radiant and classy, and good-looking."Hi, Trisha." He wanted to offer a handshake but she beat him to it by pulling him into a hug."I'm glad you came, dear. Been wanting to see you so we can discuss proper about the wedding."Connor had no idea what to say so he kept smiling."Let's go in. Charles is waiting." Trisha commanded as she led the way into the house which was similar to Connor's parents' mansion in terms of space and amazing furniture as well as modern technologies.Trisha led them to the main living room where Diane's father, Charles was. They all exchanged pleasantries, settl
Lilian literally didn't have any sleep last night. She was way too excited about today being her only Son's engagement party. She had worked hand in hand with the event planner to make sure everything turned out as the beautiful image she had in her head.They eventually settled to use the Martin's mansion for the outdoor event because of security as well as privacy as Connor had instructed."I wouldn't do too much if I were you, Mama." Nadia graced the dressing room with her presence along with her 5-year-old daughter."Grandma!!!!!" Lenora ran as fast as her legs could carry her towards Lilian who was seated by the vanity table. She was all dressed up and the make-up artist just finished working on her face."Hi, my love." She eventually picked her granddaughter up and pulled her into a warm hug.As the little girl got acquainted with her Grandmother, Nadia exchanged greetings with the makeup artist, as well as Nancy."You look so pretty, Grandma.""Thank you, my love, and so do you
"It's good to see you after a very long time of you avoiding me." Aaron said."I'm not avoiding you," Connor mumbled, looking away from his father as he approached him and Ivan."Good day, sir."Aaron smiled, giving Ivan a side hug."I hope to get an invitation from you soon for the same gathering like this.""Oh, I don't think so, Sir.""You have no idea how much of a lucky bastard you are," Connor mumbled."Why, my Son?" Aaron asked Ivan."Does he need to have a reason?" Connor spilled before he could stop himself.Ivan chuckled, seeing Aaron throw a glare at his son."I don't know. I just think marriage is not for me.""Who told you that?"Ivan shrugged, his eyes meeting with that of a blondie in red dress. He instantly smiled at her."Don't shut your mind against it because it's a beautiful thing. Especially with the right person.""Excuse me, Sir but this is important too." Without waiting for Aaron to give consent or permission, Ivan made his way to where the blondie was standin
"Is.....is this me?" She was finally able to speak after a couple of seconds of staring at her reflection in the mirror."Now you know why we are both stunned." Gloria approached her, standing to her right, and Nikky approached her, standing to her left."Oh my, are those tears I see in your eyes?""Girl, you better don't let them fall. You're a masterpiece and I don't want you to ruin what I just did." Nikky said sternly, making Gloria chuckle."Cheer up, honey. So this is the beauty you've been hiding behind your work clothes? This dress looks perfect on you. You look so much like a goddess.""I..." She sniffled, trying to shift back the tears that were forming in her eyes."I...don't know what to say.""You don't have to say anything, Darling and if you must know, you're one of the best clients I've had to work with. Your skin is really good so I didn't have to break a bone to do too much. This is all YOU girl! You're a natural beauty and you need to be proud of it.""I agree with
As the Celebrity of the night, it was normal for all attention to be on him and he had already prepared his mind ahead for it. But this was different. At that moment Connor excused himself from his lover and business partner, he had no idea what was controlling him as he made steps toward her.One thing was certain; the fact that he needed to be with her right now without giving a fuck if people were staring.Seeing that She was soon going to escape from him, he took longer strides so he could reach her on time.He grabbed her hand, then put himself in front of her, blocking her way."Let go of me, Connor."She stylishly tried to wriggle her hand away from him, not looking into his eyes. She wanted to do it forcefully but knowing people might be watching, She didn't want to create a show.""Look at me.""Let go of me.""I want to see those eyes, look at me.""Please Connor, let me go." She still didn't look at him. Her voice was as though she wanted to cry."You should know me by now
"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
