"Hello? Hello, lady? Are you okay?" I could hear the faint voices from my phone, coming from the guy from the other side of the phone. He must have heard me scream and was probably worried about me, but I was too shocked to pick up the phone and reply to him."Oh my God, oh my God," I kept on saying to myself as I recalled what the guy had just told me. Where was she traveling to that time of the night anyway? She was not actually leaving the house because I said she should, was she?My door went ajar and Susie and the lady maid rushed in, followed by Zach. As I turned on my bed to look at them, I wondered why they all came into my room without knocking. Only then did I recall how loud I had shouted some minutes back."What happened, ma'am?" The lady maid asked as she rushed to meet me. She was the first of them to speak."Why did you scream, Hailey? Is everything okay?" Zach followed, as he walked to the front of my bed, a look of sincere concern on his face.Susie on the other hand

I was expecting an uproar from them all, and I was not surprised when I got it."Are you nuts?" Brenda asked immediately. Sometimes, I wonder if this woman has no human feelings, because ever since I got to their house, she has never been nice to me aside from the time she was to appear in front of the media and she faked it all. "Today is your wedding, Hailey, and you want to go see your grandma?""Is the wedding more important than her grandmother? The woman that brought her up to what she is today?" Susie asked and scoffed. "Many times you act like you have no human feelings, and I am not surprised as to why your son is not any different from you. That is why he carries women here and there and plays them too.""What the fuck, Susie?" Xavier asked, as he dropped the fork he was using to eat on his plate and turned to face her. "What is your problem with me, young lady?""Everything is my problem with you, young man. You and your mother treat my best friend like dirt! And she is her

"Language, Duncan.""Your grandma is dead? What the hell happened?! And how did you know? Are you back here?" He asked on and on."Just quit with the questions and let me speak.""Okay?""I received a call earlier this morning, and I was told she was involved in a car accident while travelling to a nearby town. Since no one is around to claim her body, this is where you come in. I need your help." I finished and sighed."Uhm, okay?""Could you please go to the hospital for me and just let them know she is your relation or something. And whatever procedure they tell you to do, just do it and when I'm back, I'll take it from there." I said, which sounded more like I was pleading with him.And yes, I was."Alright."I was not expecting that. I did not expect him to agree that easily, but I was not going to tell him that, so he would not change his mind."Thank you." I simply said. "Oh, and yes," I started as I remembered something else. "I will ask the person that called me to inform me

I kissed him back. I wanted this so badly at the time, and even though it was not from the right person, I let him do it anyway, and I enjoyed it while it lasted.He then traced his hands on my face as he pushed my hair behind my face. Then, I looked him in the eyes and almost immediately, he locked lips with me again. It came as a shock to me at first, so I immediately pulled out of the kiss to stare at him."What?" He asked. "Are you—" And without waiting for him to finish his sentence, I locked my lips on his again as we began to devour each other.We both immediately shut our eyes as we felt the softness of each other's lips. We pressed our foreheads against each other as our lips moved in sync, our tongues taking action in the process.Xavier gave out a soft moan with his hoarse voice as I raised my hand to the back of his neck, then sliding it slowly into his hair.He bit my upper lip and I moaned out his name. Then, his lips travelled down my neck from my lips and his height di

"Hailey!" That was the umpteenth time I zoned out today at this particular spot, and here again I was, with someone calling me back to life.I blinked angrily, as I widened my eyes in panic mode, taking in my surroundings once again. I had been pulled out of my thoughts by my groom, Xavier.He was the one that shouted my name earlier. My eyes stared at the man dressed in a white tuxedo and I swallowed, taking my eyes off him again to look around.We were in the church already, and standing in front of the altar before us—me and my handsome groom—was a priest. There was a crowd in the audience, and many of them were staring at me. I could have sworn that some were glaring at me with murder in their eyes.Why? I was getting married to the man of their dreams. I was sure if they were given guns or daggers, they would not hesitate to have me dead at any opportunity possible. But little did they know that even I was not happy about this thing we were doing, calling it a wedding."Hailey, a

The after party was held at a different venue. But before that, I was to go back to the hotel they rented for us, and get changed from the white floral wedding dress to the one they prepared for the after party.Xavier has also left the church, but in another car. Susie was the only one with me since she was my best lady for that day and she was to be with me all through to assist and for other reasons.The maid lady was at the hotel already, so she would be the one helping me get dressed and prepare for the after-party.The limousine that drove us was quiet as the driver drove it. Just Susie and I were inside, together with the driver in the front, who was minding his business as he drove. Susie on the other hand was with her phone, her earphones in her ears.No one needed to tell me that this was the right time to speak to her and apologize if I was going to. But I thought of all possible ways to start the conversation, and I just could not figure out the best way to. I just sat the

Again, Susie and I couldn't finish our discussion before we had to hurriedly dress up and prepare for the after party.The ride back was also quiet, because this time, she had her earphones on and was listening to music with them. I just sat there thinking of how much my life was falling apart. When we arrived there, Xavier was already waiting for us outside."And why did you not go in?" I asked him after he complained of us arriving late. He went further to tell me that he regretted not having the phone numbers of either of us, so he had to wait and keep watching the gates till he sighted the limousine."Weddings after parties don't work like that, dummy!" He snapped and dragged my hand, which came to me unexpectedly and we rushed to the front of the hall."Could you hold me more gently!" I snapped, but did tried as much to make sure he was the only one that heard that.The media and several reporters were present at the venue, and the clicks of their cameras at us showed they were

The next morning was no different from every other day before the wedding. The only difference was that I woke up with a ring on my finger and a banging headache. I sighed as I clutched my head tightly to my hands and laid on my bed. The lady maid had come in earlier to inform me that dinner was ready and we were all expected downstairs, but the headache I was feeling did not let me know what I was going to do next.Knock knock.Who was there again? I thought I told the lady maid that I'll be down in some minutes. If they can't wait any longer, they should just continue without me.Knock knock."Who's there?" I asked."I." I heard Susie's voice say. I was taken aback to know that it was Susie at the door. On a normal day when we were good, she could never knock before coming into my room. And here she was knocking, taking me by surprise. "Are you going to tell me to come in or not?""Oh, come in. Come in." I said and she opened the door and walked in, closing the door behind her. Stil
