All Chapters of Groom For The Day: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“You look beautiful. Just so… beautiful,” Ayodele found that he was short of words and he had to swallow to ease the lump in his throat.Magdalene raised her brow at him. “Beautiful? Just beautiful? She looks amazing! Spectacular! Fanta…..” Her phone rang“Excuse me, that must be Morgan,” she said as she hurriedly slipped her phone from her waist. “Morgan, what’s up? Oh? That is okay, he is? Cool. We will be there soon,” She disconnected the call and looked back at them. “They are ready for you. The minister has arrived and…your supposed fiance is waiting for you at the altar as we speak, all smiles and confidence as he waved from time to time to his fans while ensuring that the camera got his good side. That man is vain till the end. Oh, I can’t wait to see the humiliation on his pretty powdered face today” Magdalene says gleefully.“You are getting bloodthirsty, Mag. One would think you are the one he hurt and you don’t even know what he did to me yet,” She caught a look in her manag

“She is good,“ Ayodele muttered to Tanya who nodded her eyes with tears in her eyes.“Yes, I am so lucky to have her”“Are you okay?”“I am fine, I just …what she said the other time made me realise just how much I have overlooked things. Did you hear what she said he did?”Ayodele nodded.“I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if he had done more damage than he did”“It wasn’t your fault”They both turned their head towards the door as Magdalene’s voice raised.“So ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the incomparable Tanya Darlington!”“That is our cue!” she said and pulled him towards the entrance.“What am I doing?” Ayodele thought fleetingly, but the next moment all thoughts were out of his head as he saw the crowd waiting for them.Flashes after flashes go off in his face and he wondered how Tanya was not blinded by now from all these flashes whenever she had to be out.“We love you, Tanya!”“You and Martinez are the very best couple in Nollywood and beyond!”“We do. Wait, who is th

“Tanya, what is this?” Martinez mouthed to her as he glanced briefly at Susan, who stood with that fake concerned look on her face. Tanya rolled her eyes in disgust as Martinez looked around at their audience. He blanched when he saw the determined look on Tanya’s face, and she thought he had finally gotten the gist and would leave. Instead, he took a step forward, then stopped suddenly before raising his voice.“Tanya darling. I never knew your unknown brother would be the one walking you down the aisle. How sweet.”Ayo’s chuckle beside her did nothing to reduce her increasing anger. As they got to the raised platform, where the confused minister looked between the two men with identical attire, Tanya smiled and said just as loudly.“Aww darling, how sweet of you to think that. But then would I kiss my brother like this?”Shocked gasps swept through the audience as Tanya turned to face Ayo, gave him a beseeching look, and promptly kissed him. He slid smoothly into the kiss as if he h

The opulence surrounding him was much more than Ayo had ever dreamed of.The room he was led into was more than three of the rooms where he was squatting with his friend.Leon!The thought of his friend reminded him that he had not even said anything to him about all this yet.But then, as he flopped onto the cool sheets of the gigantic bed, he figured he could make the call later.His friend was not in town at the moment anyway.He had just got a job as a tanker driver, and they travelled interstate occasionally.His travel this time was going to take a while.Ayo knew he would need to find a way to tell his friend how he lost the house key.The key was with him when he went to Mr. Tomori’s house.As he patted his clothes when he was changing in the car, he couldn’t feel the key in his pocket at all.He must have lost it somewhere, and he had no intention of telling his friend what happened exactly.It was enough that Tanya knew about the matter already.Ayo didn’t want to bring someo

“Let me get this straight,” he asked carefully as he sat up. “You are sorry that we can’t divorce yet?”“I mean, yeah. Separate. Divorce. Go our separate ways. We can’t do that yet.” she answered jerkily.“Why?” he said as he folded his arms and tried to keep down the smile that wanted to creep onto his face.He couldn’t see what the problem was, but it looked like there was one, so he indulged her.“She…the press. My manager informed me earlier about the danger this might cause for me. To…”“To your career,” he stated matter-of-factly.She spread her hands out like she wanted to deny it, and then dropped them.“Yes, to my career. It is going to be a disaster.”The initial anxiety he was feeling began to leave, and he decided to toy with her a bit.He stood up and held his jaw as if thinking deeply.He frowned and said “So, let me get this straight. Not only did you use me to get back at your ex-fiance, but now you want to use me to save your career.”Her face fell as she sighed, “Don
