38.

Macy was left with a lot of thoughts.

Yes, she understood that Angela was after her life but she loved that it wasn't anything she couldn't handle.

She was ready ever since she decided to leave for home from China. She was ready to handle her so-called family and all.

What she hadn't banked on was meeting Richard. The first young master to the Armstrong empire.

At first, Macy didn't even know who he was and she had to do her research after meeting him at the hospital for the first time after seeing him with Asher and seeing how Asher worshipped him.

Asher was a very well known figure in DC for he was in the entertainment industry and headed one of the entertainment industries in the state.

Thus, when Macy found out who he was and saw how mysterious he was, she didn't know how to behave.

She thus did what she could do in such a situation: hide and make sure never to meet with him again.

    "Did yours get lost?" Macy asked her as she followed the manger who was walking towards the cashier to swipe the card. "Excuse me miss. Everyone holding the black platinum card is our VIP and I won't allow any disrespect to any of our customers. Please choose what you want to buy or walk out and let the others shop in peace," the manager said and Macy was both smiling and crying from the inside. Happy because she had put Angela at her place and crying because she had just used Richard's card. She had even forgotten about it until Angela mocked her and everyone had their pride.

It's not that he doubted her capability but he wanted to make sure that every member of the Four Ninjas mafia organisation had been taken care of.The elders of the organisation knew why and they didn't complain. They were lucky that Richard didn't touch their bank accounts. That would be a lasting example to those who thought that he had lost his touch. When he came back home, there was an additional suit in his closet. He noticed it right away because it looked like a misplaced colour in the sea of black and white. It was royal blue. He went to see what it was and his face looked shocked when he saw a second one: maroon. He wondered whether someone had made a mistake and he walked towards the back of the mansion where he had been told Melvin and Macy were. He saw them talking seriously and he walked slowly without making any noise to see what they were so engrossed in. "So, you do it

    42.Macy sat with Melvin at a corner as Melvin trembled and cried."It's okay baby. We'll be okay. Shh! Don't cry. It will be okay," Macy soothed the young girl and all that time, Cassy was looking at them. "Who are you?" She asked Macy because she could tell that these two had a close relationship. "Oh, me? No one. I am just an employee of the Armstrong family and I have been taking care of the little miss here," Macy answered. What Cassandra realised was that this girl didn't have any fear in her eyes. "Then, why risk your life for her? Do they pay you enough?" Cassy continued asking. "It's not about pay ma'am. It's about the relationship I have with Melvin," Macy answered as she continued soothing the young girl. "Hey you, come here," Cassandra called to Melvin. Melvin either did not hear her or she ignored her. "Melvin, your mother is calling you. Come here,"Cassy repeated again and again, the young girl ignored her. "How dare you! My life is a living hell because of you.

    The end

    128. By the time Richard and Macy were done with entertaining the guests, time was far much spent.They thus decided to retire to their room and then leave for their honeymoon the next morning. Richard carried Macy across the threshold as was traditionally unacceptable for a groom to let his wife to enter the door walking in her first day as a wedded wife.Macy was so happy that she felt as if whatever she had going through was being compensated. By the time Richard was placing her on the bed that had been decorated with red roses, her ribs were tired from all the laughing.She was happy.She had two children and a man who adored her. She could not ask for more. “Do you want to take a bath first?” Richard asked her after helping her take off the high heeled shoes she had been wearing.“Yes. I will go first,” she told him.“Okay. I will help you prepare the bathtub," he offered."No. That's okay. I want to have a shower because I am tired. I just want to lay down,” she said and he n

    127. The moment was intimate and all Richard could see was Macy. He didn't want to think of everyone gathered in the hall because he hated crowds and the reason why he did all this was for her.Another reason he held this wedding on an island was to make sure that not many people attended.The air was charged with excitement as those gathered waited to hear what Richard would say. Some wondered if it would be as heart touching as Macy's or if it would be blunt. As Richard took a deep breath, the crowd fell silent, anticipation hanging in the air. He turned to Macey, her eyes sparkling with joy, and began to speak the words he had carefully crafted in his heart. “Macy,” he started, his voice steady yet brimming with emotion, “from the moment I met you, I knew you were the one I wanted to spend my life with. You are my rock, my confidante, and my greatest adventure. With you, I have found a love that I never knew existed.”Tears glimmered in Macey’s eyes as Richard continued, recountin

Please find it in your heart to forgive us," Mrs Phillips said and Macy just stood there both embarrassed and angry.She wondered why they had to make a scene even though she had allowed them in.“We are also thankful that you allowed us to your wedding. Thank you so much darling," her father added.“Just sit and let us continue," Macy said feeling all embarrassed because there were other people in the hall who weren't family and although it wasn't a secret now after the live broadcast of Angela washing her dirty linen in public that these people had neglected their own daughter and nurtured the one who had killed their own son, she wasn't ready to deal with them.This was supposed to be her day and not theirs.“No, darling. We won't sit unless you say that you have forgiven us," her mother, Mrs Phillips, said and she sighed.“You do realise that today is supposed to be about me and not you, right?" Macy asked the two wh

All her life ever since she found out that she had slept with a stranger and got pregnant, she never thought that she would ever get a man to love her but here she was.Not only did this man love her but was also the father of her child-ren.She followed Richard's footsteps until they came to the raised dais where her brother, Asher, May, Mel and Jared were standing.For the first time ever, Macy got to see May in a flowing dress.She had always seen May with leather pants or jeans pants and leather jackets. But now, she really looked like a girl.Macy stood on the left side of Richard where she was directed and they faced the people.She hadn't gotten the time to look at this place since they obviously had got there at night and she hadn't gone around since, well, she was getting ready for this.The hall wasn't as big and she even didn't know that they were on an island but she felt the waves hit rocks and she, at first, thought that

    124. Life is a blessing and we only have one of it. In this life, we have plenty of challenges and heartbreaking events that we at times feel like we won't be able to move on from but as long as we have theones we love right beside us it makes it all worth it.One of life's gifts is finding someone you can share the rest of your life with, someone who will be there for you through thick and thin and love you for who you arenot what you have.Richard had found such a person who was currently lying in his arms. He wanted nothing more but to spend the rest of his life with this woman and no one else. As he lay on the bed his gaze lingered on Macy with a hard to describe smile on his face. He couldn't believe that he had been this lucky.He also smiled when he remembered when he was drugged by his brother. He almost killed his brother but now, he was happy and he would even reward Asher with the latest Tesla that he had been asking for.They had arrived at his uncle's villa on the Indi

    123. “Mom, hurry up, we have to leave," Mel hurried her mother who was still getting ready. It wasn't that Macy wasn't ready it was just that she had just been informed by her man that they were leaving in an hour's time and they were going for a vacation. “What should I carry? Why didn't you tell me at least yesterday and I would have gotten ready!" She had complained wondering where to start. “Don't worry about that. It was a surprise and we already packed for you. All we want is for you to go with us," he has said and the children had beamed. “Yes ma, just wear something and let's leave. This will be my first vacation with my real family," Jared had urged and that was how Macy had found herself getting ready and now, she was wondering what to wear because she had even forgotten to ask where they were going. “Where are we going again? What do I wear?" She shouted from her bedroom and Richard shouted back, “just wear anything. One of those cute dresses of yours.” "Yes mama. The

    "A wedding?" Ash asked, low-set ginger brows furrowing even deeper."Why so fast?" He shouted this time."A wedding," Richard said with a slow grin,and a collective set of gasps filled theair. "I'm gonna marry her on the thirtyfirst this month. I want to belong to her, legally. I want to say those vows you see in movies, to give her not just my mind and body and heart, but the very essence of my soul. I want to give it all since I'm in this relationship for the forever haul.""Er, a-a-actually, uh," Kyle stammered, looking flustered, "well, um... y-yeah,we could do that. But don't you think that we could give my sister some time to prepare?
