Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance PLAN BACKFIRING
We saunter back into the castle, to the smiley faces of our parents around the table. Their loud hums as Damian and I take our respective seats beside each other as reserved for us halts. From the look on their faces, they ought to have debated a lot in our absence, and I hope it's nothing as insane as this - the marriage agreement. If they were crazy enough before to come up with something as absurd as this marriage arrangement, I don't even want to speculate what else they can come up with. Perhaps the number of grandchildren they want to have? Beh!I throw a quick glance at Papa. His expression doesn't look so optimistic. It's nearly flat, and I understand why. He probably thinks I chose the choice he gave me. Makes me wonder though. If he was okay health-wise, and if Damian came clean on time, this would be such a beautiful gathering, right? We conceivably would be slipping the engagement rings on our fingers right now. It would have been a blissful event - with everyone happy. I
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance WORRYING SENTIMENTS
I plant my feet on the floor, plunging my head down to look at my father after giving him his medicines and tucking him under the duvet. It pains me to admit, but the man before me isn't doing well at all. I thought he was okay and strong this morning, but maybe my desire to please him blinded me. Then again, what choice did I have? He wanted the dinner to happen sd quickly as possible, and knowing him, convincing him otherwise would have been all in vain."What's worrying my daughter this much?" He faintly mumbles, his usually cold and strict tone now so worryingly soft and faint. He looks so tired and weak. Everything about him doesn't portray the unshakable Richard Riccaford that I knew before I returned to this castle. This is ailment is deteriorating. It's weakening him dreary and I am getting worried."You I can take anything, but not seeing my daughter worry like this." He sucks some oxygen before adding, taking my hand. "Talk to me dear. Is it about the decision you made? I g
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance FIGHTING OVER RIGHTS
"Morning doctor Lemuel!" I greet the doctor in the hallway after checking on my father.He is still asleep. He must have been so exhausted by the time he retired to bed last night. That was predictable after all that long conversation we had."Good morning, Ellie! How was your night?" Lemuel asks after responding to my greetings.One thing I like about Lemuel is his devotion and outgoing virtue. He is so easy to talk with. His maturity and equilibrium are what crowns his physical glamour. He would be such a great catch, if only..."I slept well, but I'm worried about my father. How far is your consultation about the transplant?" I query."Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that.""Why? Is everything okay? Has the decision been finalized?""Yes. And I have already scheduled a transplant for your father. In two days." Wow! I can't explain the exhilaration I am feeling. Finally, my father will be free from all this agony. He will go through the transplant and everything will go ba
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance SHOCKING WISH AND A SHOCKING FIGHT
It's that time- the turning point where Papa is going due for the surgery. That critical moment that holds our future. After this, our lives are not going to be the same ever, because I am gonna consecrate my entire life to taking care of him. We are going to have the thrill of life from now on and savor every kick of it. I'll show nothing to him from now on other than gratitude, love, care, and affection. That aside for now. Why are the doctors taking so long in there? They said they were just gonna run a few checkups before he goes to theatre but, why are they taking forever? Pardon my terrors, because Lemuel ascertained to me that there is absolutely nothing to worry about, but I can't help it? No one would remain calm in this particular situation, right?I am exhausted from pacing back and forth in this corridor. I have mentally howled numerous pleas to the heavens to make this a success. I have made exertions to make myself loosen up on this couch, but it's damn pricking my arse
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance SOCKING CONFESSION
"You both stop this!" Mrs Riccaforte exclamations, standing between them and gazing at them one after another.She is a burning lioness among the two lions, but her anger is different. It's not because she is angry at someone, but that anger and fear of a woman seeing his family fight, and much worse, in front of her. It's that fear of seeing a hint of your family being torn to shambles- the fear of losing a home, a family that you built for years. I feel sorry for her, especially because neither Damian nor Mr Riccaforte is willing to back down. Not even at her plea."It's been years since we were together like this as a family, and this is what you two can do best? Can't you set your differences aside for once?" She cries, and I mean crying, except that only the tears are not falling. I don't know for how long, though, because her voice is totally broken, and I can see her chest heaving up and down from here.Mr Riccaford takes a step back from Damian, perhaps opting not to stress hi
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance CONFUSING THREATS AND AFFECTION
"You can tell doctor Lemuel that I am ready now!"I heave out a deep sigh to placate my pulse at Papa's words. He can't scare me like this. I almost thought he was dying given how he all of a sudden fell silent. Gosh! My heart virtually exploded into pieces."Do you want to give me a heart attack, Pa? Who will watch over you after the surgery if am not here?" I ask as my heartbeat resumes its normal beating slowly."I'm sorry, my dear. I'm so weary of this bed already so let's get this over and done with. Tell them I'm ready." "Okay. I'll let Lemuel know. I'll be back." I fling to leave, but he still is clasping my hand captive in his. Actually, they, both of them because ostensively, Damian is caging the other one in his too. I glance between them, signalling that I can't leave my hands with them. Damian lets go, and Papa pats the one he is holding, gives it a peck and whispers..."I love you, my dear. Whatever happens, be brave, and always know that you meant the world to me!" Me
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance CIVIL TALK. SOLACE. SHOCKING REACTION.
I gulp down the third glass of water. It's been too long since doctor Lemuel got into the operating room with his team and they haven't come out yet. If I ever said I was nervous before, I take it back. I probably didn't know the real meaning of that but this, this is a real freaking wrecking anxiety. I have tried out all I could in an endeavour to stroke my nervous system, but nothing is working. The terror is stinging so badly. My mind is a catastrophe of a thousand sentiments all discombobulated together. I should probably go and try to peek through the window. Maybe I will see something that will calm me down, or probably an aberrative chat with Damian's parents? Yeah, I guess that will be good. There was no fucking point in staying inside this freaking room because this improbable jerk is keeping his word about not bothering me except by telling me to calm down. Calm down my itchy ass! He can do that for me!"Where are you going?" He racks before me before I could get to the im
Now I Do- Marrying My Fiance SUDDEN DEMISE
"I'm sorry, Ellie! We did all we could. I'm sorry." Lemuel finally finds his voice, and I had to glue my eyes in his to search for any sign of jokes in them. But not even a mad person would crack such a joke. He is serious, and I feel a wreking pain goring through my heart slowly, ripping it into pieces, and leaving them floating in blood. I face-palm my face, feeling the painful clear liquid wash my face. I thought I was brave, but when I feel my legs mercilessly giving up on me, I realize I wasn't, or that this is beyond my strength.Damian helps me to the sit on the swivel again, and I slam down on it.My father is gone? Just like that? But, Lemuel told me all will be fine. That's what Damian told me too. So what in God's name went wrong?I brush some of my tears, peeling my palms off my face, and leave Damian to work on the vast surging tears. Everything seems blurry, but I force my sight on doctor Lemuel."What happened?" I softly whisper between sobs."A sudden heart attack." H
