Find my Bride

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-04 18:40:24

Carolyn stared at her reflection in the full-length mirror. The makeup artist had done a great job; she looked stunning in her white wedding dress. She was nervous about this whole thing, but if this was what would take away her pains and heal her, then she was ready to try.

“Have you seen my aunt?” She asked, staring at her makeup artist through the mirror.

“I last saw her in the room down the hall.” The makeup artist said.

“Okay,” Carolyn said. Wondering what could be taking her so long to return, she made her way out of the room. She walked through a series of doors before she finally stopped at the front of the room her makeup artist told her her aunt was in. Her hands reached for the doorknob to pull it open, but she stopped when she heard a familiar voice.

“Umm, make sure everything goes as planned, I don't want any mistakes.”

“Your job is just to impregnate her as soon as you can after the wedding, and nothing more.”

“Yes, don't worry about the rest. I will handle it myself. Just do a proper job, and I'll send you your balance once the wedding ends. Okay, bye. We will be on our way soon.”

Carolyn's heart erupted, and she began to shiver. She pulled her hand away from the doorknob and took a step, wanting to run away, but she decided to peek at the door's keyhole to confirm if it was truly her. Her mouth fell open as she saw Diana. Standing behind her were her assistant and bodyguard.

So, you know, Carolyn's father willed all his wealth to her before he died. The will stated that Carolyn could only pass on the wealth to her child if she wasn't interested, and if she didn't have a child, then the properties should be given to orphanage homes.

“What's the plan boss," Randy Diana's assistant asked.

"The plan is for the idiot to get her pregnant she bears the child, and she dies right in the hospital to make it seem like she died after childbirth, and as the only surviving family, I will take the child, he will grow up to know me as his mother and all the wealth will automatically be mine.” 

“I only wanted Marcus to die in that incident so that it would break Carolyn, she would be vulnerable and she would be under my custody, but I don't know how she lost the baby. Nevertheless, it is still a win-win situation, at least she is here with me now, and this time around I don't want any failures, make sure of that Randy.

 

Carolyn paced backward, unable to comprehend what she had just heard. Immediately, she came to sense. It was as if Diana had cast a spell on her, making her lose her senses. She had known Diana to be a cunning woman ever since she came to stay with them after divorcing her husband. Letting Diana get into her head was something she couldn't even understand.

She immediately took off her heels with shaking hands and one fell, notifying Diana and the rest inside the room. She hurriedly picked it up and hid by the turning of the corridor.

The door opened and Dante, Diana's bodyguard, came out,” What did you see?" Diana asked from the inside, “Nothing boss, all cleared." 

" Let's go check on her, she should be ready by now,” Diana said, stepping out with her assistant following behind her.

Immediately they left, Carolyn ran out of the house using the back door. She had nowhere else to go, but she just wanted to save her life at that moment. Thanks to no guards being around since her father died, they only came around when it was an emergency, which made it easy for her to get out of the compound.

“Hey darling, aren't you done dressing up,” Diana said smiling while entering the room, but her face turned cold immediately after she noticed Carolyn wasn't inside the room.

“Where is she?”. She asked the makeup artist who was still arranging her makeup box.

“She left saying she was coming to meet you.” The makeup artist replied, and Diana exchanged glances with her assistant and bodyguard.

“Let's go check her room.” Her assistant suggested, leading the way to her room. Their eyes widened when they opened the door, but Carolyn wasn't in the room.

“Did she overhear my discussion when I was on the phone”. Diana thought and her mouth fell open.

“Find her.” She screamed as if she had gone mad.

Immediately her bodyguard pulled out his phone and called on the rest of the team to come over.

Diana sat on the bed dejectedly. “No, her perfect plan can't be ruined like that, that little witch.” She screamed like a mad woman clenching her first.

Keith Davis was to marry Lilian Barton today. She's from a wealthy and well-known family in the city. They've never met, and he doesn't know how she looks, and he never cared to know.

Rex came running into his dressing room with a worried look, but his frown drew into a bright smile when he saw how handsome Keith was looking. He was simply gorgeous if a man could be called that.

“Damn bro, I feel like getting married to you instead.” Keith frowned and said, “You must be insane for saying that.”

“It seems you're jobless, why don't you go and assist in arranging the wedding venue with the decorators. By the way, why are you here?”. 

“Ah, bro we're fucked I just got a call that your bride was involved in a car accident on her way here,” Rex said, and Keith stood up abruptly.

“What! He yelled.

“Who else has heard about this?”

“No one, just me.”

“Good, by no means should grandma hear about this as it will only worsen her sickness, I want you to go find her, and go alone don't let anyone go with you, I don't want the news getting out,” Keith said with a cold tone.

“Don’t tell me you are actually serious right now. C'mon man, how on earth do I find someone I've not met nor seen? Don't forget you never let me see her. Now you want me to magically turn into a sorceress or Superman to find someone that I haven't met!” Rex said angrily.

“Shut it Rex, you know the reason why I never let you meet her is that your mouth doesn't have a cover if you've met her you would have gone about singing praises of how sweet and how caring of a man I was and I might have ended up putting a bullet through your skull,” Keith said, running his hand through his hair frustratingly.

“Alright, Alright whatever you say, but I still can't find her alone. Let's involve aunty since she's the only one who knows her.” Rex said, waving his hand in the air.

“Are you that dumb to not know that she will be coming with grandma, must I spell everything out to you? Just do as I say. We barely have an hour before the wedding starts, so go straight to the scene of the incident. She should be there dressed in a white wedding dress or whatever.” Keith said feeling agitated.

“This is unbelievable,” Rex murmured storming out of the room.

Carolyn roamed the streets helplessly with her left hand holding her heavy gown up while holding her heels in her left hand. She looked pathetic with her makeup smudge face.

She looked for a shield and sat down, taking deep breaths to calm herself down, she thought back to what she heard her aunt say over the phone and hot tears began to stream down her eyes. She could only pray now that her aunt wouldn't find her and dragged her back to the so-called wedding. How can her aunt who promised to take away her pains be causing her more pain, even plotting for her death?

A car drove past her but reversed back, immediately Carolyn took to her heels again as she thought it was her aunt or her bodyguard Randy.

Rex wondered for a moment why she was running, he stepped out of the car and ran after her, calling for her to stop.

Carolyn heard the voice but it didn't sound deep like Randy's, she turned to look, and she stopped when she noticed it wasn't her aunt's bodyguard.

Rex caught up with her panting heavily, he bent with both hands on his knees as he tried catching his breath. 

Carolyn looked with knitted brows at the strange man in front.

Rex's eyes caught the bruises on her knees and he concluded she was Lilian, but why was she running?

“Sorry for bothering you, Miss, but I'd like to steal a few minutes of your time, I'd like to ask you a few questions, am I permitted?” Rex asked and Carolyn gave a nod indicating yes.

“My name is Rex, and are you Lilian Barton, the one who is getting married to Keith Davis, today? He asked, staring at her keenly.

Carolyn thought for a while about the name Keith Davis, the name sounded familiar and suddenly a light popped up in her head. She remembers the name to be the name of the most powerful billionaire in the city, but come to think of it if she accepted to be Lilian Barton and marries him that might help save her from this situation and also protect her from her aunt for a while until she gets back herself.” Carolyn was in a daze.

“Hmm, Miss,” Rex said, and Carolyn jolted back from her daze.

“Yes, yes I am, I. I am Lilian Barton the bride to Mr Keith Davis.” Carolyn stammered.

“Oh…Okay.” Rex stared at her skeptically, he wanted to ask her why she was running, but then kicked against it and thought maybe she was running due to the trauma the incident might have caused her.

“Hope those don't hurt too much? He asked, pointing at the bruises, "Can you still walk with those bruises on your knees, because Keith doesn't want anyone to know about your incident.” He asked with concern.

Really, he must be very caring for him to care about the wellbeing of his bride-to-be. Carolyn thought, and said,” Of course I can walk, it's just a minor injury.

“Okay, that's good, but you were supposed to be with your guards, but I can't see any of them, where are they?” Rex asked, and Carolyn was taken aback, she tried to come up with a lie, but with the way Rex was staring at her intently, she couldn't think much then said.

“They died in the incident.”

“What! Rex yelled, and immediately Carolyn faked a sob.

“Oh! I’m so sorry, I know it must be really hard for you, pardon the way I exclaimed I was just surprised. Rex said, trying to soothe her.

“Is okay, let's go, we barely have thirty minutes left before the wedding starts.” He opened the car door for her to get in and then turned to the driver's side and drove off.

Immediately they left Randy and his men drove in, they rushed out of the car and searched the surroundings, but couldn't find her, “An infomart told me she was here, so, where could she be hiding?” Randy was furious, how could one little woman be messing with him?

He asked around and was told she just left, they rushed into the car and sped toward the direction Carolyn and Rex had taken.
