"It's time!" Cynthia screamed and entered the room
I sighed and looked at Judith who was smiling at me. She became my parents involuntarily when our parents died some years back and I wondered what my mom would say if she was here today
"Judith" I called and my sister looked at me "I missed our parents" her mood changed instantly "I'm thinking about how everything might have been different if our parents are still alive" I said and tried not to cry
"I missed them too. Everyday" Judith confession came as a shock to me. Judith have never talked about how she felt about our parents before, at least, not in my presence
"I'm not supporting this" Cynthia who was watching both of us said "Today is an happy day and I'm sure that your parents are happy for you. Get up it's time to go in"
Judith came back to herself after Cynthia's words and got up "Let's go"
I handed Maxwell to Judith and got up
"There is the bride!" One of the paparazzi screamed when he saw me coming with my maid of honor, who was Cynthia, flower girl and my bridesmaids.
The paparazzi faced us and started taking pictures of us as we were walking to the hall and for some unknown reasons, I felt as if I was flying in the sky. Some months back, I didn't know that I was going to get married into one of the richest family on Earth but without knowing when or how it happened, this billionaire man came from nowhere, fell for me and he couldn't get enough.
I watched as my bridesmaids went inside one after the other and when it was Cynthia's turn, she turned back and looked at me "Congratulations Lexi"
"Thank you sweetheart" I said and she went in
My flower girl smiled at me when it was her turn and went inside, she also came from one of richest families on Earth.
With my white beautiful flowers in my hand I slowly walked into the hall. People started clapping when they saw me coming in and I waved at them.
When I looked forward, I saw Jason smiling at me and I felt like crying because I knew how much he loved me. I smiled back at him without holding back and the whole congregetion dissolved into the background.
Jason robbed his hands together and licked his lips, my soon-to-be husband. Without knowing how many minutes had passed by, I was finally standing in the front, beside Jason who was looking at me as he was just seeing me for the first time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We were passed our vows card by the best man and the maid of honor respectively and I looked at Jason as he started reading his
"The first time I met you, I never knew that I was going to fall in love with you. You were just this girl with little to no experience but that night changed my life" he looked up from his card and I shyly smiled at him because I remembered and will always remember the night "and I'm always grateful that I didn't miss my missing half that I've been searching for for years when I came across it. You're my shinning bomb and you blew my heart away.
I love the fact that we fought for our love and I promise to keep loving you in good times and in the bad times. I promise to respect you as my darling wife. I promise to support you in all your endeavors. I promise to be faithful to you. I promise to protect you with my life without thinking twice.
You and Maxwell are my world and I promise to be the best husband and father respectively to both of you. All that is mine is now yours.
And today, I, Jason Stokes ask you, Lexi Tyler to be my wife, my lover, my best friend, my adviser, the mother of my unborn children, my..."
"Secretary" someone said from the crowd and everybody laughed
"My everything" Jason added
I opened our vows card and started reading mine
"I fell in love with you the first time that I met you even though I didn't know who you were and I had no clue that we would meet again.
But you showed up again in my life few days later: at first as Mr CEO and later as Mr Love. I love everything about you but I love your cockiness more"
Everybody laughed
"I promise to never disappoint you. I promise to love you forever. I promise to trust you. I promise to cherish you. I promise to respect you as my husband and as the father of Maxwell and our unborn children. I promise to stand by you no matter the situation. I promise to be faithful to you.
So today, I, Lexi Tyler give you, Jason Stokes my heart, my hand and my love from this moment till death do us part"
The priest who have been smiling since morning joined our hands together and asked Jason "Do you take Lexi Tyler as your lawful wife, to have to hold, from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"
I and Jason's eyes met and he sighed heavily "Yes I do" he answered and everybody clapped
The priest faced me and asked me the same question "Do you take Jason Stokes as your lawful husband, to have to hold, from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"
I looked at Jason, he was a little bit scared
"Yes, I do" I replied
Jason sighed heavily and the whole congregetion clapped and 'woah' at us
Jason's friend, John who was his best man passed the ring to the priest who blessed it before passing it to Jason. I gave Jason my left hand and he placed the beautiful diamond ring which he bought for $1,000,000 on it
Cynthia passed the second ring to the priest, who gave it to me after blessing it. Jason gave me his left hand and I placed the ring on it
"You may kiss the bride" the priest said and the next second, Jason crashed his mouth on mine as if it was his first time
The wedding ended towards the evening and I and Jason flew out of the country with his personal jet for our honeymoon
Two months laterI resumed at the office on Jada's last day at the office.Jason wasn't happy with the fact that Jada was resigning but he could do nothing to stop her. Jada's mind was made up"We will miss you" I said to her as I hugged her"I will miss you too. Make sure to watch out for Jason because he is one of a kind""Of course, I will" I released her"I will bring the files that I'm working on here before I leave""Okay" she walked out of my office and I headed to Jason's office.The main reason why I resumed today was because Jason wanted me to talk Jada out of resigning but I didn't.Jason was on a call when I stepped in, so, I decided to come back later"I will talk to you later" Jason said to the person he was speaking to and hung up the phone "So, what did she say?""Her mind is made up Jason. Let her go. I didn't talk to her about it"Jason sighed and looked at me worriedly "She's
The next morning, I walked into Jason office and said "Jason, the candidates are here""Okay" he replied nonchalantly and continued with what he was working on on his laptop"Jason?""Give me thirty minutes. I'm working on something very important right now""Okay" I said and went back to my officeTwenty five minutes later, my office phone rang and I picked it up"They can start coming in""Okay" I said"And Lexi...""Yes?""Let them in through my door""Okay" I replied and got out of my seatI walked to the waiting room where the candidates were seated and wondered how Jason was going to interview all of them in a day"Mrs Stokes nice meeting you" a young lady said and reached out her hand for an handshake"Nice meeting you too" I said as I shook her handI had became quite famous since the day I married Jason and to some extent, I loved itBefore the other ladies could
I just left Jason office after our usual early morning sex which always happened on his office table when Daniella Huggins walked into my office"Good morning Mrs Stokes""Good morning Daniella""You can just call me Ella""And you can just call me Lexi""I'm here for the boxes you talked about yesterday""Oh! There" I pointed at the corner where Jada had placed the boxes"Okay" she carried them and left while I started my job for the dayTowards lunch break, my phone vibrated, it was a text message from Cynthia"Let's go out tonight. I'm lonely. I missed my old friend"I and Cynthia's friendship had been declining since the day I married Jason and even though I have a loving husband and an handsome son, I still misses her sometimes"Okay. Where should we go to?" I texted"Our usual place""I will be there before eight" I texted herI went inside Jason's office after the texting a
I walked into the bar and saw Cynthia at our usual seat. She waved at me when she saw me and I waved back"I thought you wouldn't come" she said sadly and ordered Bailey's matini"And you?" The barman asked me"Tom Collins""It's nice to finally have you all to myself" she said "how are you doing?""I'm doing great and you?""I don't know" she said, shook her head and took a sip out of her drink"What's going on Cynthia? You don't seem happy""I don't know. I don't know if I should tell you this is not""Are we keeping secrets from each other now?" I asked and raised an eyebrow"You don't get it Lexi. It's wrong. I don't know what is wrong with me""What are friends for if not to bear each other's pain. I'm here for you"She gulped down are drink and said "I'm falling in love for a man that is wrong for him. I don't want to become a bad person but I can't help my feelings towards hi
Jason rushed at me and got hold of my hand before it could make contact with Cynthia's face"What is going on here Lexi?" He asked and I gave him the evil eye"I think I should be asking both of you that question"I went to my table and picked up Jason's phone"Explain this" I said as I handed him his phone with Cynthia's naked picture on the screen"What the f..?" Jason said and instant looked away from his phone "What is this?""What you asked for. The messages are simple and straight forward""What do you mean? What messages?""Screw you both" I said angrily, picked up my bag and walked out of the office"Lexi!" Jason called and started running after me"Go to hell!""I still don't understand what is going on" he said and put his hand on me"Take your hand off me before I bite it off. I'm going home now and I'm taking the car. The car key?""Lexi""Give me the car key!"
I and Jason woke up late the next morning and even though we later slept together in the same room last night, something wasn't right this morning. There was something like an invisible wall between us and we treated ourselves like strangers.Jason opened the car door for me as usual but there was nothing like the usual smooching and teasing.I sat down like a robot and picked up my phone which I had forgotten inside the car yesternoonThere were several calls and messages on it, most of it from Cynthia. And when I went through Cynthia messages, all of them meant the same thing 'I didn't do it".I put down my phone as Jason started the car and headed to the office.Later in the day, someone walked into my office and I looked up from the file that I was going through, it was Cynthia. Her eyes were red and she didn't use her usual makeover"Lexi" she called slowly as she stood in front of my table"You can see that I'm busy"
Two weeks laterMy phone ringing tone woke me up on Sunday morning and I sluggishly picked it up without checking the caller. I thought it was Jason."Hello" Judith said alarmedly"Hey Judith" I said sleepily"Have you seen this morning news?"I opened my eyes and slowly sat up on the bed "No" I yawned "I'm just waking up. What is it about?""I will send you a link now. Go and check it out""Okay"She sent me a link about two seconds later and I wondered what was going on. I clicked on the link and saw Jason, my own Jason kissing a woman ferociously on my screen."Aaah" I gasped and covered my mouth with my hand. "Jason" I cried "Why!?"The fifteen seconds video was titled "Caught on camera: Three months after Jason's Stokes multi-million wedding to his secretary, Lexi Tyler, he was caught cheating on his wife with an unknown girl" I clicked on the video again and watched it for the second time with a shaky
We slept in separate rooms that night and on the next day which was a Monday, I decided not to go to work because the paparazzi were lurking around our buildingJason headed to his home office when he got back home and I sat in front of the TV to see if any new information was going to come out but none did.Later that night, I was reading through people's comments about our relationship when I came across another information. I clicked the link and saw The unknown girl's identity has been revealed: Her name is Lexi Ryan, who was one of the candidates that was interviewed for the position of Mr Stokes personal assistant about a month ago. Lexi Stokes and Lexi Ryan had fought on that day but no one knew that it was personal."Lexi Ryan!" I growled, got out of my bed and ran to the sitting room where Jason was sleeping. He sat up when he saw me coming and wondered what was going on"You said that you didn't know who the girl is! That was a lie!""Lexi, I'm alr
