Yay!! Finally, they are married. What do you think will happen further? Waiting to hear your thoughts.
Anita saw a tall, well-built guy in his early fifties with blond hair standing in the middle to officiate the wedding. He smiled as she looked at him, confused. Dearly beloved, we have come together in the presence of God to witness and bless the joining of Alexander King and Anita Lewis in Holy Matrimony. Life sometimes throws things at you, you don’t want, but they turn out to be exactly what you need. Many a time, the wrong decision you made at the right time is better than the right decision you made at the wrong time. There is always something to lose. But maybe more to gain. Home isn’t where you are from. It’s from where you find light when all goes dark. I pray you both find the light in each other. Don’t ignore your blessings. Simply it’s not packed the way you expect them to be. Not everything comes gift-wrapped and with a bow. And so, in the presence of the Church, I ask you to state your intentions. Mr. King and Anita looked into each other’s eyes. Anita leaned in and whis
She needed to recuperate from Mr. King’s surprising devotion. He had played his part well, too well. She brushed her fingers across her lips moments before Mr. King had planted his most passionate kiss yet. He had ignited a charge in her that began slowly and increased with the pressure of his lips. By the time he pulled away, her body wanted to explode. Her head swirled, and his friend shouted for more. She did not know Mr. King kissed that well, not that she had much experience. The kiss wasn’t part of the deal. She wanted a moment to herself; she needed to regroup. She ran to her room. She put her elbows on the table to rest her pounding head. This wasn’t how her life was supposed to pan out. But, the shock of her now-husband demanding to marry him, his callousness and devil-may-care attitude, was slowly seeping into her. All it took was one poor decision. Now her life is in shambles. It was all because of Ken; if only he showed up at the wedding? She picked up her phone and wonder
"I can't believe you are defending them. Our sorry your parent's actions have left me no choice. Sometimes suffering is just suffering. It doesn't make you stronger. It doesn't build character. The only thing that hurts is. I will get changed." She changed into a white dress belted in with a broad blue ribbon. The dress came down to below her knees to her mid-calf. Sleeves were trimmed with a light beige. Her hair into a French twist with wispy tendrils hanging down her neck. She refused any makeup and just applied lip gloss on her dry lips. "You look beautiful." Lee smiled as if she had won the lottery. "I will miss you." Anita hugged Lee as they both fought tears. They pulled back when they heard a knock on the door. It was the minister who officiated their wedding. Before she could reply, she heard her husband's voice."Ani, this is Daniel, my bodyguard, driver, confidante, and my second father." Anita felt her nostrils flare. "My name is Anita, not Ani. And no offense, Sir, yo
“Honey, did it ever occur to you that some people just don’t care about money? Fine, you can make whatever you want to happen with the snap of a finger, but you can’t give someone the ability to love you, can you?”He remained silent as we sat in eerie silence for a few moments. He still didn’t know what to say to my last stab.“Daniel, please pull over.” It was about time, and she will put a full stop to this marriage drama.“No” was my only husband’s response. “Listen, why don’t you go home and re-evaluate your unreasonable expectations? Where you’ll inevitably do nothing because the minute you figure out how the wedding happens in the real world works, you will tap out.” “No” “Please don’t be silly. We are talking seriously. You don’t want to end up in a loveless marriage, do you?”“I’m married. We-Are-Married.” He repeated, enunciating each word as if talking to a young child.“I spent my entire life making other people happy. It’s time I find happiness the only way I see possi
Anita leaned forward and whispered to Daniel, "May I ask you a question, Daniel?" The older man gave an encouraging nod through the mirror. "Of course, sweetheart." "Promise me you won't answer the question with a question?" Daniel watched Alex in the rearview mirror, trying to control his laughter. "Sweetheart, there is an answer to every question." She frowned. "I apologize; They led me to believe the other way round. An answer to a question is a question. And if your back is against the wall, then twist the question as an answer to your question. Maybe this is the rich people's language that I will never understand."Daniel smiled and, again, nodded. "Some questions, the answers to which everyone knows, but no one knows differently, are better left unanswered.""That answer is not mysterious at all. You and the stranger are cut from the same cloth. No wonder he introduced you as his second father. But as a father, didn't you think it was wrong of him to force a girl to marry him
Alex shook his head, exasperated. Without giving it a second thought, he held her wrist and pulled her closer; bending down, he picked her up in his arms in bridal style. Anita was shocked as she kicked, screamed, shouted profanities, and hit him. “Put me down, you bastard.” Alex put her down gently and shut the car door behind him. Anita quickly adjusted her dress. “That’s an endearment you will never hear from a newly wedded bride. You’re a lucky man, Alex.” Michael patted his hand on Alex’s shoulder.Alex was losing his patience with his wife. “Get out, Michael. Go to your home.” Alex snapped. “Oh, dear! And miss this wonderful wedding drama. Didn’t I tell you I’m going to stay with you to watch the movie ‘Alex’s Hellish Wedding Life’ and I can’t wait to get to the climax? Will the bride kill the groom, or the groom finally loses his patience and kill her?” Alex opened his mouth, but Michael stopped him. “Spoiler alert! Spoiler alert! Don’t ruin the ending for me.” “Well, sor
“Let’s go,” like an icy wind. Alex’s words went through her flesh, and she nodded. Like a lost puppy, she followed him into the house.Relax, Anita; they won’t kill you. What’s the worst that could happen? His family might not like you, but that’s his problem, not yours. Maybe he will let you go if his family disapproves of you. She kept repeating this as a mantra as she walked through the doors.As they entered through the front door, there was a grand hallway. The wallpaper was some Roman and Greek themes in the frieze on the ceilings and walls. She entered the foyer and gazed around at the beauty displayed before her. White walls, golden chandeliers, and antique furniture graced her, making her wonder if her feet were clean enough to walk on the shiny floor and carpets, undoubtedly made from the finest materials. The house looked like a cut-out from Architectural Digest magazine.Everything seemed to be the color white, the floors, sofas, and house interiors. The hallway flowed int
“Oh, you were so busy?” His Grandmother Mocked Alex. “Of course, he was busy as he had to convince, threaten and finally blackmail this poor girl into being his wife” Michael tossed in a grenade and sat back to watch the drama unfold while everyone in the room gasped in shock.“You forced her?” His Grandfather asked through clenched teeth.“No, I helped her with a family from shame and humiliation, saved them from society’s impunity, and got their pride back.” “That’s some top performance bullshit, Sir. Let me proudly inform you that your Grandson is ruthless, heartless, arrogant, and evil as a demon.” She then turned to her husband and jabbed a finger at his chest. “You didn’t save my life but successfully ruined it, you selfish bastard.” Anita’s face turned red with wrath, and his little eyes blazed with fury.A heavy silence fell upon the room. It sucked every molecule of air out of the room as if everyone had stopped breathing. Anita breathed heavily as the winner of the fight c
