Kevin was super excited. He had never been overwhelmed with emotions all his life until now- the day he'd always dreamt of. The day he'll finally get married to the woman he loves. Last night, he made sure not to drink too much at his bachelor's party. He was going crazy because he was kept away from Selene. But he wasn't mad about it anymore as he checked his watch, he'd see her in the church in an hour.Ian came up beside him, "Looking good, are you nervous?""I am," "Don't be," Ian advised "Everything's gonna go as planned. Didn't your father send Elliot away so there wouldn't be disruptions?"Kevin chuckled, "I don't trust my father, one bit Ian. Plus it doesn't matter if Elliot's not around. He could always pay henchmen to create troubles""Either way, let's keep our fingers crossed. The church will be heavily guarded during the wedding. I will also look out for any sign of trouble.""Thanks, Ian." Kevin paused and added "You should get married too.""Don't lecture me."....At

While Karen, disguised as Selene walked into the bridal car along with Mrs Kord, the henchman assigned to abduct Selene phoned Elliot."It's done, I took the exit you explained and I'm driving towards the warehouse. I will keep her there till you want me to release her.""Good," satisfied, Elliot smiled "Keep an eye on her, don't you let her escape!""Of course,"Elliot ended the call and slipped his phone back into his pant. Staring at Willow-ridge through the French Window of the hotel he imagined himself in power. He imagined being called the CEO and legitimate son of the Kord's in a few hours from now.Deep in thoughts, he didn't hear her step out of the bathroom. Walking towards him in nothing but a towel, she ran her hands through his broad shoulders."Avery," her name was soft on his lips "We have to celebrate," he jerked her over his waist and began to kiss her hungrily. Her towel trampled to the ground as he carried her over to the bed.She giggled as she watched him pull off

She decided to turn around the church and check for an opening, a place she could scream for help. ...Meanwhile, Mrs Kord was getting restless. She finally calmed down when the priest declared the time for the exchange of vows. Stepping up on the pulpit, he gave Kevin the ring and led him in saying his vows, after which, Kevin slipped the ring into Karen's finger causing the crowd to clap and scream happily.Karen did the same and slipped the ring into Kevin's finger after saying her vows.Holding the holy book, the Priest announced, "I now declare you, husband and wife.

34-On one condition
"Dad," Elliot gasped as he immediately got up from the bed where he was asleep with Avery. He grabbed the sheets to cover his nakedness."Congratulations to you, you have lost the position of the CEO along with the inheritance!" Mr Kord barked in the background."W-what? D-dad!" he screamed but Mr Kord disconnected the line. Tossing his phone aside, Elliot rushed into the shower and was out of it in two minutes. He gathered his trousers and shirts and put them on quickly.Half-awake, Avery bit her lower lips as she admired Elliot's structured body, from his muscles to his abs and hairy chest. His wet hair added a domineering aura to him."Darling.." Avery pouted "Why are you leaving?""Something important came up," he lowered and kissed her forehead, ready to leave but she held him back and claimed his lips trying to lure him into another session but Elliot smacked her hands away."I said something important came up!" he huffed, grabbed his jacket and slammed the door shut. Avery wond

35-Where is she?
"You'll be my girlfriend for one month," Ian said with an emotionless face. Deep down he was hoping she would really agree to it."Your date? For a month?!" Sam huffed, opened the car door and jumped in, surprising Ian."Why are you looking at me?" she asked as she turned to him "Your time starts now! I know you're a pervert, and you wanted my attention now you got it!""Is that a yes?"Sam sent him a sharp look, "It is, or do you have another condition?"Ian shook his head and smiled to himself. "Take me to the mansion, babe" Sam said, shocking Ian with her choice of word "I need to change out of this and find Karen. Kevin didn't hurt her right?"Ian shrugged as he began to drive, "I've no idea. Mrs Kord sent me here amidst the drama.""Hmm," ...Kevin disappeared into thin air. Even when the reception began, Mrs Kord tried his line severally but got no response.Karen was seating alone on the glittering stand and was now wearing a red slit gown that enhanced her features. Her gold

Elliot looked fierce and furious. He began to destroy the decorations as he yelled for Karen to step out. The guest ran helter-skelter and those who could find the exit in the midst of Elliot's madness left the mansion.He brought down the decor, smashed Karen and Kevin's pictures all over the palace and threw down the exquisite wine that stood on each and every table.Upon getting to the huge cake that stood in front of the couple's stand, he swayed his hand and the cake came tumbling down. Karen was hurt at the state of the mansion. Soon enough, Elliot approached her and grabbed her arm."Are you really that brave to go against me?!" he groaned."Let go!" Karen returned in the same fierce manner which only aggravated Elliot the more.

37-Living my dreams
"My new life has begun, Mr Kord" Karen stopped him from leaving "As for my dreams, I'm already living it. I didn't marry you for your money so you can have it back."Kevin's jaw twitched. What kind of a woman is she?"If you don't want money what do you want? Anything, name it and I'll give it just so you can get out of my life!" his voice was high-pitched but Karen was not scared."I don't want anything," "Then you'll suffer the consequences!" was his reply "We cannot share the same bed, you can have the couch. Do not touch any of my belongings! I will not involve myself in whatever issue that springs up between my dad, my brother and you! You don't deserve my help so don't you dare ask for it! Don't talk to me except it is necessary and most of all, you will never have my love or my trust."He paused and added, "It is either these or you take the money and leave,""I'm not taking the money," Karen replied rather quickly "I'll abide by the rules, Mr Kord now can I have some rest?" s

38-Get us divorced
Despite setting her alarm, Karen woke up later than usual. She looked around but didn't find Kevin in the room. She gasped when she remembered that she had to go to work. Quickly, she raced into the bathroom and showered. She had fresh clothes in her closet and she knew that Mrs Kord had done this for her. Smiling, she picked a blue satin dress and a jacket with a heel to match before walking out of the room.She was greeted by the maids and guards. The breakfast table was empty."Strange," she muttered before leaving. On arrival at Daniel Corporations she was summoned in no time."I'm sorry, sir" she apologized to him but he did not even look at her. He picked up a business file and tossed it to her still stuck on his phone."We'll be signing a partnership agreement later today. You should-" as he spoke Karen noticed that he was trying hard not to meet her gaze."That's all for today," he finished "You're dismissed"But Karen remained where she stood. Without looking up, Daniel said

"Fine," Mr Kord immediately agreed and pulled out his phone "I'll call my lawyer now,"Kevin sat relaxed on his chair, happiness like no other surging through him. He imagined getting married to Selene now.However, his thoughts was interrupted when the door to his office barged open. "It's Elliot," he heard his father say. Kevin was up on his feet that moment. And the last person he expected said, "I dropped the charges against him,"He recognized the voice anytime, anywhere. "Selene??" he couldn't believe it "Why? Why did you do that? Elliot is the reason why our marriage was stalled.""No, Karen is the reason!" she replied "She should be the one arrested and jailed!"Kevin stepped forward, "Selene, please believe me. I would have had her arrested if all evidences pointed towards her but it all points at Elliot.""Elliot was not around that day, Kevin. I know you hate your brother but does that mean playing games with me?""Playing games with you?""I think you and that leech pla

40-A Partnership Agreement
The truck driver pressed the brake just in time, however Karen was injured. Daniel was by her side almost immediately.He held her arm where a gash laid and yelled at her, "What were you thinking?! Have you gone crazy? If he hadn't stopped on time, he'd have crushed you to death!" On realizing the near accident, Kevin turned back. Rather than call for help, he looked down at Karen."What are you doing here?" he asked coldly "I didn't ask you to get in the way for me!""You're a bastard, you know that?" Daniel returned "She just saved your life and all you can do is act arrogant? Is that the way to treat your wife?""She's not my wife," Kevin uttered coldly "She knows that,"Karen knew that if she does not interfere, the two men might end up fighting and so she got up on her feet and winced. It seemed that she must have also sprained her ankle from the hit."It's fine," she said to both men "Let's get to business, Mr Daniel." without a glance at Kevin she turned and leaped her way bac
