"What nonsense are you sprouting? My husband is in there." Briella growled gazing at the lady who pointed towards an instruction board that she seemed to have ignored while trying to get to her husband.

"Read the sign over there, I hope that gives you an answer." The lady took a step back gesturing for her to leave but Briella wasn't about to go empty-handed, she still needed to know what both of them were doing inside.

"You should see your face right now.""You psycho!""Well then, why didn't I invite a very special guest huh?" He whispered into Chris' ear.Chris couldn't help but wonder who it could be an

"So you're telling me because of a little incident you caused this chaos?"The ringing of Alex's erupted the room and he turned around walking out of the room without any more words.

Sorry, I forgot no one would be burying you." Chris chuckled amidst the intense pain he was feeling."You haven't changed have you?""You know it's bad manners not to introduce yourself."
