All Chapters of Brian Kings and His Substitute Bride : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

/Brian’s POV/The rest of the drive after Elliot’s motivational speech was quiet because instead of overthinking my situation, my mind kept on drawing me back to what Elliot said about me being one of the strongest people that he knows and that one day I will look back on everything that happened and smile.I don’t think that I am as strong as he said, but at the same time, I can’t help but wonder if he actually meant what he said or he was just trying to make me feel better, but either way, I really needed to hear those words, so let’s just say that he said the right words to me at the right time, so I am going to take his word for it.The driver finally dropped us in front of Emerald bay hotel, so I checked into hotel but I think Elliot went to Crowne Plaza, I am not sure if I got the name correctly because my brain wasn’t settled enough to absorb the hotel name, all I just know is that he went to the hotel where his girlfriend was logged to see if he was going to get a room there.

/Brian’s POV/Isn’t it very strange that my father’s assistant of all people, came to knock on the door of Elliot’s room and asked to talk to me after she legit insulted me at the airport for being a coward that couldn’t stand up to his father.I could read the uneasiness on her face with Elliot’s presence in the room, an expression that I have never seen before, so I asked Elliot to go on with the preparations for the bachelor’s eve that he was rambling about before Meelah walked in.Elliot has been engrossed with planning my wedding despite the fact that I didn’t want the wedding to happen and he isn’t such a big fan of weddings because of how his parents turned out, but falling in love with Dianne has changed his mentality about everything concerning love and marriage, so it was expected that anything marriage related will get him out of the room without questions.After getting Elliot out of the room so that I could concentrate on what Meelah had to say, but she had nothing to say

/Brian’s POV/After Elliot explained his plans about how we were going to spend the rest of our day, I got a call from Elva that her team were already waiting for Elliot and I in front of my room to help us get ready, and I tried to discourage her that I am not like a lady that needs help with getting dressed, but my sister is really stubborn so she refused and told me that I should get myself and my best man to my room in Emerald bay otherwise she was going to track down my location to come over to where I am to fetch me herself.First of all, Elva is the main stylist in charge of the event and because of how impromptu the whole wedding is, her team is short of staffs so ember has to take care of the star of the show that includes my mom, the two brides and their mom, all by herself so that she can be rest assured that there won’t be any major slip ups that will cause the wedding to be delayed.Secondly, she has to supervise the hair and make-up of the brides’ friends before going ah

/Meelah’s POV/“Hey….” Eden says tapping me lightly and drawing me out of my wandering thoughts.“What are you thinking about?” She inquired with her slender brows taking a worried curve.“It’s nothing” I answer almost immediately, making her send me a dissatisfied look.“Heyyyyy…. talk to me” she coos talking my face in her hands“Don’t lie” she emphasizes with her hazel eyes boring into my soul as if she could read me like an open book.“Fine….” I sigh as I surrender “I was hoping that a miracle happens tomorrow because it pains me to see you sacrificing so much for your family” I answer her and she just smiles lightly instead of saying anything in reply to me “Wait a minute…” it suddenly occurs to me, making me pause dramatically “What if we elope?” I suggest only for Eden to start laughing hysterically.“Can you stop laughing and consider my suggestion seriously?”“Wait a minute….” She suddenly stops laughing “You we’re not joking?” She asks in a serious voice “Of course, not

/Meelah’s POV/I stare at my best friend on the ground with wide eyes that I cannot shut, with the feeling of the room spinning around me “She was fine an hour ago” I mutter as I force myself to move from my frozen spot. “Eden please open your eyes” I beg her desperately, but all my plea seem to land on deaf earI notice the knife that she used in spitting her own wrist next to her and a bottle of pain killers that I packed when we were traveling.I intentionally bought a bottle of pain killer for the trip because of the stress I knew that I was going to go through but instead of the full bottle that I traveled with, the bottle next to Eden is empty.“Eden please don’t do this” I plead again, and this time around I notice her clutching a piece of paper so I take it from her to check the content.“Dear Meelah, I am really sorry that it had to get to this, but there is just no way I can go through with this wedding. I thought I was going to be able to do it at first because my fat
