The next morning, Paige drove her parents to the airport with Lina sitting beside her in front of the car, while her parents sat at the back. Once they arrived at the airport, Vanessa hugged Paige, and said, "I wish I didn't have to go. I feel so sad because we only just found each other again.""C'mon, Mom, what are you saying? Go have all the fun in the world. It's just one week. If I were in your shoes though, I'd have taken a month or even a year." Paige said smiling.Vanessa chuckled, "No, I cannot do that. How can I leave you to be all alone?""You keep forgetting I'm a big girl now, and besides, I have someone special in my life.""Yeah," Melvin chimed in. "That's why I'm not worried. I understand why your mom is worried, but, honey, Paige is going to be fine. She can take care of herself. Besides, it's just for a week, and like Paige said, I wish it could be longer."Lina stood by the side, staring at both of them. When Melvin turned to leave, she said, "Dad, Mom, you both sho
Paige drove to Zach's villa, but when she arrived, she noticed that his favorite car wasn't parked outside. However, she still went in. When the butler saw her, he welcomed her warmly and offered her a seat in the living room."What about Mr. Zach?" she asked."He's not back yet," the butler replied.She looked at her watch; it was a few minutes past 4 o'clock, and Zach had told her that he would be at home. She took out her phone and called his number. It rang, but there was no answer. She called him again and left him a message, but there was still no answer. So, she decided to give him some time and assumed that he probably still had work to do at the office. While she was waiting, Susan came in and saw her sitting in the living room; she snorted and rolled her eyes."Hey, Susan," Paige said.Susan ignored her and walked away without saying a word in reply. Paige shook her head and also rolled her eyes, "What a snob." She waited for Zach for a few hours, and no one offered her an
"Yes!" Paige exclaimed. "Oh my God! Yes, Darling. Yes, I will marry you."Zach chuckled, seeing her enthusiasm while she looked at him as she panted for breath because her heart was racing. She looked at her left hand and pulled out the promise ring Zach had given to her, which was sitting on her engagement finger.She wore the ring on her right engagement finger and extended her hand to Zach. Taking it, he slid the gold ring onto her engagement finger, afterwards, he kissed it and got up."I promise that I'll always give you a reason to be happy like this," Zach told her. "I will make you proud, I will cherish you and I will never give you a reason to regret being with me.""I believe you," Paige replied. "I also will never give you a reason to regret choosing me. I love you so much.""I love you too," Zach said and crashed his lips on hers. Afterward, he held her in his arms, hugging her tightly.When he let go of her hand, he said, "Come with me to the garden, I have a little somet
"What are you talking about?" Zach asked Hailey."Please, Zach, you cannot do this to me. You cannot break my heart in this way.""Break your heart? You're not making any sense. What... Wait... I should... Hold on. You have feelings for me?" Zach asked her.Hailey moved closer to him again and clutched his shirt, "Yes, Zach, I love you so much. I have always been in love with you. How could you not see it? For years, I did everything just so you could see me.I did everything to be by your side, and you promised me. You told me back then that you were never going to get married, you were never going to get involved with any woman in your life, and I believed you. I was content just being by your side because I thought there would be no one else. I thought you'd keep your promise, and now you want to get married to her?You can't do this to me, Zach. Tell me this is all not happening."Zach stared at her in surprise, "What? You have been in love with me all these years? Why did you nev
When Paige woke up in the morning, she stretched her body and looked all over the room, but Zach wasn't there. She went into the bathroom and freshened up.When she came out, she noticed that Zach had brought her luggage, which she had left in her car, into the room. She quickly got dressed.While dressing up, she recalled what had happened last night and how Zach had proposed to her. She smiled and quickly went online to see what was happening.She saw that not only had her followers increased drastically to millions of people, but her post of last night had garnered millions of reactions from people and thousands of shares. She smiled and left her phone on the bed as she went out of the room to look for Zach.When she got to the living room, she gasped in surprise. There were different boxes of wrapped gifts, and she counted more than a hundred. She began to wonder where they came from.She didn't think they were from her fans because they couldn't have known that she spent the nigh
The next two weeks turned out to be extremely busy for both Zach and Paige. They attended meetings, photoshoots, and interviews, as Paige prepared to release her album. She also had to shop a lot, and Barbie was by her side all through.Paige had gone back home after her parents returned, and after she did, Lina met her and said, "Paige, since both of us are now in a good place and you're my sister, can I be your maid of honor?"Paige stared at her in surprise, "Why?"Lina smiled, "Well, as I said, we're sisters. Besides you're getting married to one of the most influential billionaires in the world. There'll be so many top people at your wedding. It's an opportunity for me to get people to see me. You know you're such a big celebrity. Everyone would realize I'm really your sister, and they would want to associate with me too."Paige shook her head, "I'm so sorry, Lina, but that is not possible.""Please, it would mean a lot to me," Lina begged.Paige said, "I already have a best frie
The day of Zach and Paige's wedding finally came. Paige had barely gotten any sleep the previous night because she wanted to die from excitement.Zach arranged for the wedding to take place in the biggest hotel in London, and they both lodged in the hotel.Their rooms were on the same floor, but Zach's was on a different wing. He had wanted to get a room opposite hers, but he was reminded time and again that he couldn't see the bride in her dress before the right time.While in her room, different people attended to Paige as they got her ready. She was all smiles as she kept on imagining how the wedding scene was going to play out; the words Zach would say to her, and how she'd say her vows to him in front of everyone.About three thousand people had been invited, including those from the media to cover the event. Paige knew that it was going to be one of the biggest weddings she had ever attended, and the best part was that she was going to be the center of attention.Barbie, who had
Zach stared at his phone, which had fallen on the ground, as his heart raced. Without waiting to pick it up, he ran out of his hotel room and headed for Paige's room while Luke picked up his phone and ran after him.The moment Zach arrived at Paige's room, he saw her bodyguard who was very anxious, and asked, "Where is she and what exactly happened?"He was surprised to see Lina and Barbie on the floor, unconscious."What happened to them?" Luke asked.The bodyguard began to explain everything that happened. Mentioning all the people who entered the room, ranging from Paige's parents to Lina, and eventually the photographers who came and made him realize that Paige had been abducted.He showed Zach the balcony and the rope that was tied to it, explaining that she must have been taken out through the balcony.Zack gritted his teeth. He stared at Lina and wanted to ask the bodyguard why Lina was allowed into the room, but then he concluded that it wasn't necessary at the moment. He didn
