OLIVER'S POV
I was standing at the altar, directly opposite the officiating priest. I had been standing for close to 45 minutes, and the bride was not forthcoming.
Different imaginations played through my mind. I just hoped what I was thinking wasn't the case. She couldn't have ditched me at the altar.
No no no.... It's just 45 minutes. Be calm Oliver. She wouldn't do that. She wouldn't drag our families' name to the mud. I tried so hard convincing myself.

Popular Billionaire Bachelor Oliver Grants, jilted at the altar.......
No no no, I would be totally and completely done for. I definitely wouldn't hear the end of it from Eva. I would be the talk of town!!!
She wouldn't do that to me, would she? She hates me. She's still mad at me? It's been two weeks since I last saw her, and that was when I dropped her off at home. I didn't even see her a day to the wedding.
Did i make a mistake by accepting this marriage deal? Fuck!!!. I could have simply refused this shit from the start.
Was i stupid or what? Lois clearly has no love interest in me, talk more of being able to Co exist with me under one roof for just a whole day.
What the hell!!! Breath Oliver breath.
A familiar face caught my eye from the side, as I turned to see her. It was Harrieth.
She walked gently towards where Mum and Aunt Debbie sat. Then she bent and whispered something to them.She looked a little bit worried. I hope it's not what I'm thinking. Mum and Aunt Debbie looked at each other, and then smiled at Harrieth.
Pheeew. I let out a shaky breath. They smiled. That's a good sign. I knew Lois wouldn’t jilt me. I just knew it. Keep fooling yourself. My subconscious mocked me.
Aunt Debbie stood up and walked out with Harrieth, trailing behind. After five minutes, I heard the Piano.
That all too familiar sound was being played. It sounded much more wonderful in my ears today, because it felt like a miracle to me, at that point in time.
I turned around again just to see a really beautiful Lois walking gracefully towards me, hand in hand with her father and her veil covered her face. I heaved a low sigh, as I quickly took note of her so very white gown. It made her look so.... so Pure and.... Innocent.
Yes! Pure was the right word. I really didn't know much about women's fashion, but I knew for a fact that the dress she was putting on was a killer. As she drew closer, I noticed her hand which firmly held her bouquet, was shaking.
It wasn't quite obvious, but I noticed it. She was nervous. But she was still going ahead with this.
She didn't jilt me at the altar and I was really grateful for that. But that was the moment I realized one thing. That today, I would be signing away my entire life to this woman in front of me. It dawned heavily on me.*************************
Lois' pov
He was standing right there at the altar. He had been waiting for me. I had imagined walking down the aisle to meet nobody.
But he was there.
I felt a sudden pang of guilt in my heart, for even having the slightest thought of ditching him. He didn't deserve to be humiliated that way.He would never forgive me, had I disrespected him that way. I'm glad I didn't, and also sad that I didn't. It took mum's comforting and encouraging words to get me out of the car, when we reached the church.
The minute Harrieth noticed my hesitation, she quickly went in to get mum. I was scared. I feared Oliver wouldn't turn up. Even after I was reassured that Oliver was present, I was still unsure.
Seeing him at the altar brought great relief to my mind. When I finally arrived the Altar, Dad kissed my sweaty palms and squeezed my hand supportively, before giving my hand to Oliver, who took my tiny hand in his.
He smiled with a look in his eyes. It was relief and something else. Appreciation. Why was he thankful?
"You showed up" he whispered. I immediately eyed him, which caused a chuckle from him."Of course, I would. It's my damn wedding!" I whisper yelled."Well....well, I thought you would jilt me at the altar" he said with a sombre look on his face. Explains the appreciative look. I wasn't the only one who was scared, He was too.
"And I thought I would too. Almost did. But I didn't. And I'm here now" I whispered, with my head bowed in an apologetic manner.
He smiled now. "You look gorgeous by the way" I smiled my thanks."Brethren!" The priest's voice interrupted. "We are all here present, for the joining in holy matrimony of............."
"Do you Oliver Grants take thee Lois MacDonalds, as your lawfully wedded wife, to respect and to hold. To love and to cherish. In sickness and in health. For richer and for Poorer, till death do you part?""Yes, I do" Came his immediate reply which after he slipped the ring on my finger.
"Do you Lois MacDonalds take thee Oliver Grants as your lawfully wedded husband. To respect and to hold. To love and to Cherish. In sickness and in health. For richer and for poorer, till death do you part?"
'Till death do you part'.
It replayed faster in my heart. It sounded Louder in head. And then it became clearer in my mind.I had anticipated this moment for two weeks now. But it never felt so real. I was completely giving away my whole life to this Man.
I looked towards the congregation, I saw the faces of everyone. They were all waiting to hear an 'I do' from me.
My palms were clammy with sweat and I could swear that my heart was beating louder than a bass drum. I had never been so nervous. I was fidgeting as I swallowed the huge lump in my throat.
It had never been so real. Now I realize the fact that I'm stuck with this man for the rest of my life.
I'm Stuck with Oliver.

Lois's pov "At this point, I really wish I could just say it out loud and be like 'Yes I do! Of course I doooo! Oliver I dooo!!' My thoughts were interrupted when I heard sounds of laughter. What happened? Why was everyone laughing. I opened my eyes which I didn't notice were closed until now. Oliver's face was something else as he was trying his best not to laugh and I really didn't think his endurance could last longer, but why on earth was everyone laughing? It seemed like they were all laughing at me because everyone was looking at me while laughing. I was the center of amusement but what happened? Oh my God. It just dawned on me. Did I just shout it out loud? I wasn't just thinking about saying an 'I do', I was actually thinking out loud. Lawd! I have never been more embarrassed in my life. I looked towards the congregation and Aunt Ashley winked at me. JESUS!! I forced a shy smile at her. Harrieth came forward with the wedding ba
LOIS' POV I would be a big liar if I said I wasn't tired at the moment. We were all sitted at a large table at the wedding reception. Mom and Aunt Ashley next to me by my right hand and left hand side respectively, while Oliver sat directly opposite me. After the kiss at the church, he's been oddly quiet, not that he was talkactive on a normal day. I frowned my face due to the ache I felt on my ankles. My foot were as sore as hell. How did I ever come across this Loboutins? God!!! "Hey Lois, are you alright?" Aunt Ashley asked."Yeah I'm fine. It's just that my ankles ache alot" "Oh? Sorry, You must be so stressed out" she said sympathetically. I quickly caught a look on Harrieth's face that disappeared almost immediately. Was that a look of hurt I jus
Oliver's POV My heart beat accelerated when I laid my eyes on Eva. I really didn't want to see her, but thanks to Lois who got carried away in her victory and invited Eva to the wedding. Sincerely, I was still hurt from what Eva did. I was already so into her and all she could was to cheat on me with none other than Nathan Black. I really detested that guy. He took everything I ever wanted. He's the reason behind this whole mess. Because of him, I lost all I wanted, which made me start dating Eva for the wrong reasons. Along the line, I fell for Eva. She was just so similar to what I wanted, which was until she cheated on me with Nathan. I really did feel bad for dating her out of spite, anger and jealousy. But then I began to compare her to what I ac
LOIS' POV. It's been two weeks since the incident, two weeks since my only companion in this big mansion has been Becca and her daughterPaige, two weeks since I slapped Oliver. I really didn't mean to slap him, but I just couldn't contain my anger. It was the second time I slapped him in just a span of 24 hours. I could still recall the misunderstanding we had. I was given a leave period at work for our wedding and I was seriously bored there in the big mansion all alone because Oliver had already left for work, not like I would have had a chit chat with him after our quarrel the previous night tho. I decided to have a sight view of the mansion. I met Jason the Gardener who took it upon himself to show me around. He was a very good looking guy around th
Oliver's POV I was deep in thoughts as I drove. How on earth was I tell Lois that I needed her to come to Mr Olsen's party with me. We've not particularly spoken to each other for the past 2 weeks. I got a call while at work from a very important client, Gabriel Olsen and he asked if we could meet and discuss about the business deal. I immediately gave a positive answer. But then he invited me to his wife's birthday party, as an avenue to have that meeting and I agreed to it, but what came next, I was expecting. He asked me to come with my wife as a date to the party as he would love to see her since he missed the wedding. I tried to make excuses but he insisted that I brought Lois with me.Now I have to think of how to approach her and ask her to come with me
"Oh God!!! Lois! It hurts so much. Badly!" Davina screamed, as mixture of sweat and tears flowed down her face and cheeks."Calm down Davina, take a deep breath. Inhale...." I breathed in "and exhale" I breathed out demonstrating the action which she already knew, to her."Arggggh!!" She clutched her stomach in pains once more, screaming louder this time.I put my hand on her stomach, trying to know the situation at hand. Her stomach was as hard as ever."will she be okay Lois?" a worried Mr olsen asked. He ran to the gazebo, immediately he heard Davina’s screams, accompanied by an also worried Oliver."She will be, she's just having major contractions” I replied calmly as possible. We couldn't get him more agitated now, he had to be strong for Davina. 
OLIVER'S POVThe ride back home was very quiet, but unsettling. My thoughts went back to the moment we stepped out of Gabriel and Davina's room. Lois immediately loosened her hand from my hold."Lois can we talk?" I asked as I turned on the engine of the car."Not now Oliver, I'm stressed out” She replied with a yawn."Alright" I replied feeling very disappointed.I began to see Lois in a different light today. She was a nice person, and always ready to help. I was suprised when she agreed to accompany me to the party. Especially the way she selflessly helped Davina during her delivery without any complaints.I let my emotions cloud my judgement about Lois. I forgot to see the way she cared for everyone, except me. I don't know why, but I feel
So I have practically been trying to persuade Oliver to tell me where the hell we were going since we entered his private jet. We were sitted next to each other on the plane and he had done nothing more than locking his eyes to his tabloid screen. I knew he was using that as an avenue to avoid my non stop questions. As I tried to while away time without feeling bored, my mind went back to last night when Oliver told me about this trip. "we are going for our honeymoon!!" "what did you just say?" "Tha.....t we are going for our honeymoon" he said rather too calmly this time. He suddenly gave me that look of profound guilt. "Oh God! Oliver I'm just suprised, that's all. Stop looking guilty for God's sake" "Lois, I know that this is rather
