He lost his eyesight…. He thought she was his Vanessa and tried to love her but her conscience continued to prick her and she had no choice than to tell him the truth. Nathan was angry, Nathan was upset. He planned to revenge on her for the lies she told. He hurt her in the most inhumane ways possible and made her life a nightmare. Audrey had no choice but to endure it all because apparently they were married but until when? Nathan Hernandez, the owner of the biggest clothing brand in America was involved in an accident that claimed his eyesight which left his family devastated. His parents planned his wedding with the girl he loved but who would have thought that Vanessa would run away on her wedding day and her sister would take her place at the altar?…. When Nathan finally regained his eyesight, he held her hand and threw her out of the Hernandez mansion but who would have known that she was already with child? But that was not the end… how could it end like that? fate was not done with them yet, fate was not done messing around with them…
View MoreAudrey stood in front of the mirror as she looked over herself for the umpteenth time which made tears well up in her eyes. This was not what she planned or even wanted but here she was, dressed in a wedding gown and getting ready to walk down the aisle.
This was the most insane moment of her life, how did she become the bride instead of the chief bride’s maid?A knock on the door called her attention and she hastily cleaned her eyes before the door pushed open and a woman in her early fifties sauntered into the room looking all dressed up. A bright smile was lingering on her face.“You look so beautiful my dear”“Thank you Mrs Henandez” Audrey answered.The woman moved closer to her ane envelope her in a hug, “i know this is hard for you Audrey but this is the only way out”Audrey was silent for a while, a lot was going on in her mind.“Maybe Vanessa will be back, we can’t rush into things like this ma’am” she wanted this wedding to be called off, Audrey didn’t want to get married especially to a man she has never met.The only thing she knew about him was the fact that he dated her twin sister and they were about to get engaged but she was not too close to her family for such details but today her father asked and begged her to become the bride. How Insane was this?Mrs Henandez slowly disengaged from her but her hands still held onto her shoulders softly,“You don’t have to be scared Audrey, I will not allow any injustice to be done to you okay?”“But..”She tried to talk but the old lady interrupted her, “I can hear the bells already. We shouldn’t be late” and like that, she sauntered out of the room again leaving the devastated Audrey to herself.She wished this was a dream and she would wake up from it soon.This was a conspiracy to her and she didn’t want to be a part of it, the groom was sure to know that she was not his bride. The stunt everyone was pulling was bound to backfire.Another knock on the door claimed her attention again and this time it was her father who entered. He looked superb in his black tux and gray hair while the smile on his lips would not go away. His daughter was getting married after all.“Are you ready?”“Dad, this is madness. How can we deceive him like this?”“This is the only way we have sweetheart, Vanessa left without a trace and we can not embarrass the Hernandez family like this, once she is back you both can switch places. Remember we are not in this alone”Audrey threw her hands in the air helplessly, “but…”“No ifs or buts” her father interrupted, “you have always said you wanted to make it up to me right?”This was what he used to hold her on a leash and she couldn’t do anything about it.When the twins were fifteen years old, Audrey had gone out with her mum to get something and a car was coming fast at them. Her mother pushed her out of the way and she in return was crushed into pieces. Since then Audrey blamed herself for the death of her mother and promised to make it up to her father. Now she found it hard that he was using this card against her.“Just get married princess and moreover, he is a very rich man”Audrey rolled her eyes and turned to the mirror before filling her lungs with air again, it seems she was getting married then.“Ready?”“Ready” came her reply.This was all because of Vanessa who ran away on her wedding day, what the hell was her twin sister even thinking?*****Wedding bells were ringing as Audrey made her way down the aisle, her hand neatly tucked away under her father’s and her veil hiding how nervous she felt. This was it, she was getting married at the age of twenty four. This wasn’t a dream she had.“Smile honey” her father’s voice filtered into her ears, “everyone is watching”“Hmm” she nodded and plastered a fake smile across her lips, she didn’t have a choice by the way.The man she saw standing by the altar was a little less than what she was expecting and she almost gagged. Was this the man Vanessa was in love with?He was of average height and fat, he looked more like Rickcross but thankfully he had a handsome face.“Is this him?” she whispered to her father who didn’t say anything but just smiled and continued to walk.Audrey began to wish something would happen and the wedding would be called off, how could she marry a man like him? He looked so….so fat and not even her type.As they got to the man, her father gently placed her hand in his before walking away and Audrey almost went mad with uncertainty. How could he be like this? From the way Vanessa always talked about him, she felt like his handsomeness would be out of this world but here he was. Looking all fat and stupid in his black suit.“We are gathered here today to witness the holy matrimony between Nathan Hernandez and Vanessa Baxter and we pray the Lord blesses this union…..”And just like that she was married to the fat man.Now she understood why Vanessa ran away, she could not face the humiliation of being his wife.Nathan Hernandez was America’s richest man from what she heard, he owned the famous clothing brand of Avanti but Audrey had never had the luxury of seeing him and he always kept his face out of public view but who would have imagined that he was fat and stupid?“Hey” her train of reverie was cut short when she heard a voice beside her and she turned to see it was her so called husband, “we should probably leave”“Leave?” Now this was getting creepy, they just got out of the church and had not even gone for their reception yet and he was talking about leaving. Was he a social nerd?“Why do we have to leave?” Audrey asked again, “it is our wedding and we are just going to run away?”The man scoffed, “we should leave, we don’t have time”“What time?”“My lovely daughter in law” Mrs Henandez walked up to the two of them and she had the most beautiful smile on her face. Well who wouldn’t be? Her son just got married, right?“Congratulations baby” she hugged Audrey again.“Thank you ma’am”Audrey was waiting for her to also hug Nathan but she completely ignored his existence like was not there, what was actually happening?“Is everything ready?” Mrs Henandez finally asked the fat man who nodded.“I think you should get ready my dear, your flight is in an hour”Now Audrey had to believe that these people were nuts. How the hell is her flight in an hour? Why was she even traveling?“What is actually going on?”“Don’t worry honey, I will explain everything to you in the plans okay? You should say your goodbyes and we leave”Without waiting for her response, the old lady walked away as her heels clicked on the marble floor.Audrey had an inkling that something was wrong but she couldn’t pinpoint it. Everyone was acting suspicious and the fat man beside her didn’t even look like he cared.……and that was how Audrey found herself on the plane to God knows where. It was not like she had any friends to say goodbyes to and her father was more interested in the party than even listening to her. For the first time since her mother died, she regretted it.The door to his office pushed open and she gently sauntered into the room. Xavier, who was busy with a document, immediately turned his attention to her and stood up. He didn’t flash her any smile as usual but part of him was happy to have her back.“Hey, you”“Aren’t you excited to see me?” Bianca asked him, her face also expressionless.“You are finally here” Xavier forced himself to say, “i actually thought you might not come back but here you are”“Are you upset?” Bianca couldn’t help but ask him as he came face to face with her, “why…“Why?” Xavier flared up while raking his hand through his hair, “how can you casually walk into my office and ask if I am upset B? Of course I am” he paused for a moment, his eyes not leaving hers for even a second,“ I am upset and it's all your fault. How could you just discard me after being with Nathan? Do I mean nothing to you at all?“I said we were going to talk about it when I get back, right?” She inquired, “and I am sorry okay? I was just v
Audrey was all set and ready to leave, she was just giving the finishing touches to her hair when her door pushed open and her aunt sauntered into the room with a smile on her face.“I can see you are all ready to leave?” She asked Bianca while lowering herself on the bed.“Yes aunt” she replied, “fashion week starts next week, I have to put the finishing touches to things”“Well” aunt Aurora shrugged, “your flight leaves in an hour, I was hoping you could spare me a few minutes. I want to discuss something with you, child”A small frown appeared on Bianca’s forehead, now she was wondering what her aunt wanted to talk about.“Of course aunt” she walked over to the bed and gently perched on it, “I am all ears”Aunt Aurora heaved a sigh before turning her full attention to Bianca, a look of pain and sadness looming in her eyes.“My dear” she began almost immediately, “don’t you think it is high time you forgive Nathan for what he did to you?”The frown on Bianca’s face intensified and s
The moment Nathan’s car came to a halt in front of the building, he immediately unbuttoned his suit before making his way towards the reception.This was one of the biggest hotels in New York and he was wondering why his blackmailer asked him to be here. Wasn’t this too exquisite?“Hello sir” the receptionist flashed him a smile, “welcome to sugar”“I am here to see Mr Stefan,” he answered.“One second” the lady muttered and began to type away on her system. After a few seconds, she looked up at him again with a smile on her lips.“Yes, he is expecting you. He is by the poolside”With one last nod, he made his way towards the pool and only one man was seated under a nice shade. Nathan knew he was the caller and didn’t waste time in walking toward him but he was immediately stopped by his guards, a gesture that made his forehead crease into a frown.“Let him go,” Stefan said from where he was seated.Rolling his eyes, the big boss walked up to him and he didn’t even bother to hide the
Dressed in a pair of blue tailored suit, Nathan pulled his hair into a neat bun before making his way out of the room. It was a weekend and everyone was at home, including audrey. It was already an hour to his flight, he didn’t want to miss it. As much as he wanted to stay with Paige, he knew Esperanza also needed him.So with that at the back of his head, he heaved a sigh before walking up to Paige who looked like she was about to cry.“Are you really leaving?” Even if she was just a child, Paige had come to love Nathan more than anything in the world. She was not aware of her relationship with him yet but despite that, she loved him more than the world,“I thought you said you wanted to stay with me”Nathan gently cupped her tiny hands in his own hands and pressed a kiss on her forehead, he felt like a groom leaving his wife behind at the wedding alter,“I have to leave, princess” he said after a while, “something urgent came up and I have to go okay?”“But can I come with you?” Tea
It was already past eight in the night when a soft knock resonated on the door of the room and Bianca gently opened her eyes before making her way to the door and when she saw who it was, her countenance changed. What the heck was he doing so late at night? Wasn’t he tired? Her head was throbbing and she just wanted to go back to bed.“Why are you here, Nathan?” She asked him from the door, not bothering to even invite him into the room, “it is already so late and you are here?”“Can we talk?” The big boss questioned, his voice bland and without any emotions, “I can not sleep and I think we should talk”Bianca rolled her eyes to the back of her head and glanced into the room. Her daughter was sleeping peacefully on the bed and she didn’t want to wake her up.“What exactly do you want to talk about Nathan?” She akdes again, “we have been talking without any new words, I am really not In the mood to talk to you”“We can either talk here in our daughter’s presence or away from her hearin
Xavier gulped at her question and he raked his hand through his hair. He was definitely not expecting what she had just said.He raked his hand through his hair as he stood up from his reclining chair and walked up to the large window that served as a wall in his office.“What are you saying, Bianca?” He was completely lost for words.“You like me, don’t you?” She asked from the other end, “I think we should get married, what do you think?“Why are you suddenly saying all this, B?” He couldn’t help but ask, “did Nathan do something? Are you okay? Should I come over?” She heaved a sigh from the other end and he realized she was just stressed out. His heart broke for a split second, he actually thought she meant it but she wanted to use him to get away from Nathan again. The mere thought of him annoyed me to the core of my being.“You know what?” Bianca began to talk again, “it was a mistake” not bothering to wait for his response, she ended the call while Xavier balled his hand into a
Dressed in a pair of black flay pants and a crisp white shirt neatly tucked into her pants, Louisa made her way into the vip room and she was not surprised to see him standing near the window looking as dashing as always.This was the first man she ever fell in love with and even if she knew that nothing was ever going to happen between them again, she was quite aware that Stefan was always ready to do anything for her. Anything at all.With that at the back of her head, she pressed towards him with an expressionless look hovering over her face.When Stefan heard her walk into the room, he immediately turned to her and for a moment he was tongue tied. This was the woman he had not seen face to face for years and she still looked stunning, how he wished.“I thought you were not going to come” he said while taking slow steps towards her“And here I am”Louisa answered, “we should get straight to business”After talking, she slowly lowered herself on the chair in the room while crossing o
A tall looking man was seated on a reclining chair, a cigarette protruding from his mouth while a glass of whiskey is seated beside him.He is well built with his muscles peeking out of his crisp white shirt while his bare chest had a lot of visible tattoos.His door pushed open and another man sauntered into the room before bowing lightly.“Boss” he greeted, “you sent for me”“I have a job for you, Augusto” he turned his attention to the man who had just entered the room.“I am at your service boss” Augusto answered, “just give the order”“Louisa called,” the man announced again and Augusto's forehead creased into a slight frown when he heard the name. This was a name he had not heard for years and suddenly she was back into their lives? How was that even possible! How did she even get Stefan’s number again?“You are surprised right?” Stefan inquired, “I can see the look on your face” he puffed smoke out of his mouth again.“I have not heard her name for years now boss” Augusto respo
It was already past seven in the evening when Nathan made his way downstairs from his daughter’s room. After having an argument with Bianca, he decided to book a hotel for the night and moreover he didn’t want to stay in a house full of women.“Where are you going?” Aunt Aurora, who was seated in the living room, asked him, “I cleaned up the guest room for you,” she added.“Thank you aunty but I have already booked a hotel, I will come back tomorrow to check on her”“Did you tell Bianca you were leaving?”He shrugged as a painful smile appeared on his face,“She wouldn’t care, thank you so much for taking care of my daughter. I really appreciate”“I am doing it for my niece and not you, Nathan” she told him and he nodded at her.“I will take my leave now”Aunt Aurora didn’t bother to stop him, she knew he was going through a lot too. It was not easy for him just as it was not easy for Bianca.“Wait” a voice called out to him and he halted, Bianca was coming down from the stairs and s
