"Is.....is this me?" She was finally able to speak after a couple of seconds of staring at her reflection in the mirror."Now you know why we are both stunned." Gloria approached her, standing to her right, and Nikky approached her, standing to her left."Oh my, are those tears I see in your eyes?""Girl, you better don't let them fall. You're a masterpiece and I don't want you to ruin what I just did." Nikky said sternly, making Gloria chuckle."Cheer up, honey. So this is the beauty you've been hiding behind your work clothes? This dress looks perfect on you. You look so much like a goddess.""I..." She sniffled, trying to shift back the tears that were forming in her eyes."I...don't know what to say.""You don't have to say anything, Darling and if you must know, you're one of the best clients I've had to work with. Your skin is really good so I didn't have to break a bone to do too much. This is all YOU girl! You're a natural beauty and you need to be proud of it.""I agree with

"Marrying you would definitely be the worst mistake I would have made. We are over!""You lie! Not when I got the ring already." She wriggled her fingers at him."It's okay Diane. What the hell is going on, Connor? people are watching!""Tell her to apologize to Nancy or this wedding is over!""Why will you do that to her?" She asked her son, referring to Diane"I was engaging in a polite conversation with Nancy when she badged in and ridiculed her. You want me to marry a woman that has no respect for people because they are not of the same status as we are?""I know I'm a terrible person with terrible behavior but I don't need a terrible partner to compliment me.""It's fine, She doesn't have to. I'm not angry. I have no right to b...." She was saying but Connor cut her off by glaring at her."Just apologize baby. So we can enjoy the party." Lilian pleaded to Diane."Apologize to a maid? I did nothing wrong, Mom. Look, tonight's our night and he's holding hands with her, tell me why

"Where's your Best friend?" Connor asked, approaching Bessie and Ivan who had their tongues in each other's mouths.The duo pulled away."Were you guys not together just now?""Did you really have to interrupt us?"Bessie and Ivan said respectively, making Connor glare at them."She could be anywhere! She's your babe, go find her." Ivan replied, wanting to go back to his intimate position with Bessie."Were you not just hitting on a blondie?""What blondie?" Bessie asked."Ignore him, Babe. He's just cranky and wants to cause trouble for us."Ivan circled a hand around her waist."Whatever makes you sleep at night! Where's Diane?""Dude, maybe you should tie her to you. That way, you won't get to lose her."Connor rolled his eyes, looking around to see if he could sight her anywhere."It's good to see you worrying about her. That's very sweet. But I'm sure she's doing okay.""She's been anticipating tonight for a while and it would be so dumb of her to ghost her engagement party.""Oh,

"Where have you been?" Lilian asked her daughter the moment Nadia approached her at the reception."I'm good. You're enjoying the party?"Lilian frowned. "Where have you been?""Come on, Mom. You worry too much.""Oh please!' Lilian rolled her eyes. "One second you were with Maliya and the next minute, She came asking me for you.""My cousin is a pain in the ass. You know how clingy she can be. So I took some time off. I was in the kitchen."Lilian chuckled, "I know Maliya is a talkative but really? You only get to see your extended family once in a while and you avoid them?""Lenora's keeping them company so it's all good.""Yeah, sure! My grandbaby is the star of the night. I can't wait for her to have little cousins so they will start running around the mansion together.""Good thoughts," Nadia mumbled, nodding."But Mom, are you happy?"She frowned. "What do you mean?""About the whole thing?""What's with the question? Of course, I am. This is really a dream come true for your Da

"Why are you furious? Not that you are a saint or whatever!""Right?! My fault for having a fling with you in the first place.""Come on, Connor. I saw how you were stealing glances at me this morning at the meeting. Being a married man doesn't mean we can't be a thing and have our own fun.""You need help, Alicia.""No. I know what I'm doing and I feel you should commend me for being sincere.""Why would you even think I would sign these papers?""You find it hard to come close to me again so I felt having a prenup like this would put your mind at ease. That way we can have our fun while you stay married and wouldn't have to bother about anything.""It's okay if you need more time to go through the agreement. I made it really flexible but you are free to suggest any changes as far as it benefits the two of us."Connor picked up the few pages document on the table along with the envelope and tore them into two pieces."What the heck, Connor?" She rose to her feet."Do you know how muc
