It was just the dream of a wedding that Louis thought he was going to have with his girlfriend, Jessica.
And to crown his joy, they would be having a child together soon enough. Even though he worked round the clock, and the dark eyes of his finely cut face gradually sloped into dark circles, his joy remained.
"After everything! My hard work is going to pay and we will have the perfect ceremony together! Just like this one." The navigation remained on Louis's lips as he navigated through the halls.
Even though Louis was trying to focus on his job, the sweet sound from the bride yelling I do with so much joy could not keep his ears from hearing it.
"But why does that voice sound so familiar?" Louis thought.
His curiosity forced his head around to see who this person was and immediately his eyes laid on the couples? The cup in his hands dropped in an instant.
"Young Man! Do you have anything against this marriage?" The priest that had already gotten to that part of the process inquired.
"Is this really a wedding ceremony?"
Louis was taken aback, his jaws still handing in the air and his heart dropping to his legs as he stared at the two people that were supposed to matter most in his heart.
The hot stab of their recognition running through his heart. His best friend, Raul, and his girlfriend Jessica bond in holy matrimony. How ironic.
The revelation was a low blow struck down his guts, snapping him off of the air that he could barely breathe.
This was not how he thought that his reunion with Raul was going to be after he searched the length and breath of the earth for him..
His breath continued to sink down his lungs, barely able to contain the emotions that were welling up through every stream of his body.
Memories of a few months back when Raul had come begging for an investment, assured that it was going to yield an income.
Louis, sure that his friend knew what he was doing, made a seventy percent investment into this new company with his life savings, with the hopes that it was going to yield income.
But the last time that he saw Raul before this pleasant surprise of his Betrayal was to inform him that the investment was a failure, after which he vanished.
His anger mixed with his confusion as Louis flared angry at the both of them.
"Why don't you tell me Jessica! Should I have something against this marriage? Why don't you tell everyone that's gathered here today? How just three days ago you told me that you were going to be attending a wedding ceremony of your best friend? But it turns out that you are the one that is getting married instead" Louis's anger was gradually beginning to sip through and he clutched his already aching hands to control it.
Jessica stared at him. Her face was completely blank of emotion. Not even the slightest linen of emotions. She scoffed, the hatred lined on her face.
"Should I owe you an explanation?" Her extremely cold words cut right through Louis's heart.
"Don't make me look like I'm the dark villain here Louis. You should have seen this coming!" She spat the words, growing like thick spikes only with the intention to rip his heart.
"A cleaner in the same company that I work as a supervisor. You thought that keeping our mistake from the public ears was just because of work policy."
"Sorry to disappoint you. But it wasn't. I was disgusted by you Louis. With your ever sweaty Palms and shirts. Always working so hard while you remain skin soaked in poverty. I have a great future ahead of me and ain't allowing some scumbag to ruin my life. That's why I chose Raul here. The perfect choice. With his blooming company and my intellectual capacities, we would make just the perfect couple." Jessica's evil smirk shined through as she kissed her groom even before the priest said so.
Louis' heart ached at the reason that was thrown at his face. Did she really think that he didn't even have a future ahead of him? She saw that he was hard working and Louis already knew that it was more than this..
He looked at Raul who replied with a sinister smile on his face laced with the proud ego that a victorious person would have over any other person.
"And you decided to choose Raul over me? After everything that we have gone through together Jessica?" He flared, his heart breaking into smaller ripples with every single word that he spoke after.
"I think that you should be more inclined to the word used. I used to be wretched. How do you think that a poverty ridden me was able to pull out all of this? The designs? Do you even realize that I here can feed you for the rest of your life?" he smacked.
"And before I forget! I have not had to give you a proper thank you for helping me reach the heights that I have gotten to at the moment! You know, for the seventy percent investment that you made, it really paid off!" He added once again.
Louis was taken aback with the shock that welled up throughout his body. The stunt that he had pulled off about the investment crashing, it was all a lie.
His heart ached together with his pains, the thoughts about how he had helped this person a lot of times in very different situations.
Times were he was sick. It was hard to believe that he would be betrayed to this extent when the only crime that he had ever committed was caring.
The sinister smile that was on the face of Jessica said it all. She knew about everything that was happening and she didn't even tell him. When she had confessed her love for him quite a couple of times.
"Oh! I see! You are stunned? Too bad that there is nothing that you can do about it! I really feel bad for you. You know! I am not the monster that you think that I am in that pathetic head of yours.
You were the one that was so trusting that you didn't even try to get any document signed and now, there is nothing that you can do about it because everything is in my name while for the Central Co Enterprise, nobody knows that you even exist!".
His cold words didn't hold the slightest element of remorse. Louis wanted to go over and give him a firm slap on the face but the guards stopped him from doing this..
He was still smiling like he had worn a trophy. And like he wasn't feeling bad enough already, Jessica pulled Raul over to herself.
For the first time, he was brought into the picture of their perfect marriage, her eyes suddenly switched to one that was filled with so much Love and passion.
One that she had always used to look at him. She stared at the priest only with the intention of breaking Louis's heart even more.
"After this part is supposed to be the you may now kiss the bride part isn't it?" She shot a smack at the priest that was forced to nod.
She looked at Raul passionately until their lips dug into each other in a steaming passion.
Louis was forced to watch until every single thread in his body broke. It was just like he had imagined their day was going to be.
After what seemed like an everlasting moment of torture for Louis, they finally decided to bring their irritating act to a stop.
Jessica was huffing and panting, clearly out of breath at the moment as she stared at Louis's pained face, boiling over with joy in the inside of her.
"How did we do?" She inquired, still trying to catch her breath.
The love that Louis had once used to look at her had suddenly modeled into irritation and disgust. Still in denial that this was the woman that he had once loved.
Disgusting and every word that could be used to describe irritating Louis said.
"I paid for your maternity bills Jessica! I have spent all my savings to make sure that I take care of you and my child. If you have refused to think about me, have you even thought about our child for a moment?"
The sudden outburst of laughter from Jessica got Louis confused. After she was done with her act, she spat on the floor.
"Don't be a fool! I would rather raise a toad than have your child she suddenly replied.

“A different name?” she forced out a laugh“Yes, a different name,” Louis replied with certainty; in fact, he had never been more sure of anything in his life than this. He could sense her obvious doubt in his decision which she tried to cloak with a faint smile.“Do you have any problem with what I just said?” He stared at her blankly, giving her room to express herself a little bit.She jumped at the opportunity to spit out all her questions without wasting time. “How would others know we entered the game? This would be a first in history, if we do this, keep in mind that we definitely will be sabotaged and picked on?”She kept on asking without pausing for breath or answers. It seemed new to her and she worried that Louis might end up being the helpless boy they'd pick on without demanding respect.“Easy with the questions, I can only answer the most important, and trust me, I know what I'm doing,” Louis assured, using his hands to gesture that she should take a breath.She apologi

Louis' eyes almost bulged out of his eye sockets, his hands tweaked In disgust as his feet vibrated to move away from his position. “Nobody told me Greg was this insensible,” Louis muttered to himself. He couldn't believe the words that just slipped out of his mouth; they were shards of glasses that were waiting to be stepped upon.“Greg,” Louis called out confidently “Please, I want you to understand that I am not forcing anybody to work with me,” he stared intently at him.“What I simply said is, as a new team I thought we would do the collaboration between ourselves. You know, to avoid indecision and make it easier for us as a team,”His words were like darts that launched straight into the scoreboard. It corrected Greg's notion but it wasn't sharp enough to make him utter an apology.“Okay, I've noted it,” Greg uttered, prompting more response from Louis.“This isn't what you should be knowing now, we are supposed to grasp this already,” Silence filled their atmosphere as shame

“I'm guessing you are the third person of this group,” Mrs Kimberly continued “I am whatever you want me to be in this group. The second man, the third member,” Greg leaned close to her ears, but fixing his eyes on Louis “I can even be the master of this team,”She chuckled lightly, flashing her eyes at Louis “Can you call me when it's time for the ultimate showdown,”They kept laughing; Mrs Kimberly appeared to be having a good time with Greg while Greg enjoyed being close to her. Louis got tired of seeing them whisper words to each other. He furrowed his eyebrows and pretended to cough while pointing at the empty seats.“Kimberly, welcome.” Louis voiced “It's good to see you. I don't want to keep you both standing, so can we take a seat,”She exchanged glances at Greg and Louis before walking towards one of the chairs. Greg appeared to be displeased by Louis who sat between them. He signalled to Louis to scoot over to the left chair but the purpose of Louis forming the alliance was

“So when can I get to meet my fellow ally,” she winked at him.“We will be having a meeting tomorrow. I don't know if you'd be available, but it is our first meeting, and it is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 10 am."Mrs Kimberly's eyes lit up with excitement as she nodded slowly. "I'll be there," she said. "Where are we going to have it?"Louis smiled confidently at her. "I have booked a room at the Drickons Hotel just a few blocks away.”Mrs Kimberly nodded. Her mind raced with the thoughts of who the last person was, but she stopped herself from asking Louis. Instead, she resolved to wait for an official introduction.Moreover, she already decided to look her best when the day comes."I will make sure I arrive before any of you,” she quipped, but her voice lingered with a hint of determination.Louis finished his conversation with her and waited for Mrs Kimberly to ask him any questions that bothered her but she had none for the moment.It was time Louis took his leave after comp

“No, trust me. It is not because of that,” he revealed “Then what? I told you I would like to join, so why are you rejecting me?”“I'm not rejecting you. I just don't want to force you into anything,”“How is that forcing me? Did you plan to hold a gun against my head?” She asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm.Kimberly, with a blur of desperation in her eyes, leaned forward to Louis “I know you must have heard everything that came out of my mouth, but I am willing to make my first try with you,”He raised a brow at her, skeptical of her forced statement “Why would you do that? I told you already, you don't have to because I'm not forcing you,”Mrs Kimberly inhaled deeply and raised her shoulders “I have seen the huge things you can do as a CEO of a little company like yours. How you raised it to compete at this level, and I can boldly ask you how many of your peers can claim to reach the success you have in such a short time,”“You helped me get my treasured buildings back from th

“She came begging me to collaborate with her,” Mrs Kimberly revealed “Just imagine the imp’s audacity,”Louis couldn't bring himself to tell her that he was here for the same reason. He could not believe that the person whom he had spent hours finding reasons not to add to his alliance hated them. And now it seems Louis needed her to control Greg's mouth.“What human being in their right mind would beg someone they tried to attack in the past? I could have smacked her teeth out but was busy pretending to be cool with her,”Mrs Kimberly rolled her eyes and pointed to the middle of the hall“There's more?” Louis asked, surprised at her decline. She hated alliances with all her bones in her body and she made sure to show Louis.“That man in a white suit,” she said.”Forget about his angelic act. That man is a demon and a lapdog to Chris,” She walked closer to Louis like she was about to whisper, “He came to me and pleaded I work with him, but I declined. I hope he fails this round of the

“So what do you say, Greg?” Louis interrupted his fantasy. “Are you ready to join my alliance?”Greg's eyes burned with desire, he shone his eyes at Louis, nodding his head in quick motion.“Yeah, I will,” he smiled “You gotta introduce me to Mrs Kimberly,” Louis shrugged at his statement. “I hope you know she's married and living happily,” Louis interjected. “Why are you interested in meeting her?” “It's nothing, I just liked her since the day she caught my eye,” Greg said “Those eyes of yours shouldn't be catching anything that has already been claimed,” Louis warned for his good.“These eyes can catch whatever they want, as long as I can afford it,” Greg replied Louis cracked up at his statement, his laughter echoed through the restaurant. He found it amusing that Greg thought he could charm Mrs Kimberly, yet more thinking she couldn't take care of herself. If she demanded a price, Louis could confidently bet a million that Greg would not be able to meet up.“Whatever you say,

Was Mrs Kimberly a good person to associate with? He wondered. Was she worth any trouble? And if he turned out she was actually devious, would he be able to protect her?It also puzzled Louis why he never thought of this; maybe it was his instincts.“Desperate times call for desperate measures,” Louis stated. He decided to add Mrs Kimberly as part of his future alliance. He hoped they would work in his favor and never backstab him.The day went by without Louis making up his mind about his pick for the designs, but he was resolved to decide who would form his alliance.The next day, Louis went to a location to meet up with Greg. It marked the second time he waited for him. Louis subtly prayed for Greg to put any thought of wearing disguises aside. He wasn't in a mood to attract attention, especially when people knew who Greg was.However, to Louis' dismay, there was Greg dressed in casual wear at a five-star restaurant. The address was sent to him an hour after their last call, making

“I told you I need to see our record sale,” Louis stated before she walked out.That was the documents she came to compile early in the morning before she got distracted by the works of their guards. She gnashed her teeth in fear and cooked up an excuse in her head.“Yes, master. I'm on it, I just need to extract the file before sending them to you,”She rushed out before he could reply. She did not want to give him a chance to fish out the threads from her lie.“Extraction!” Louis muttered, wondering if he heard her right. He left her to whatever excuse she gave him and busied himself with a portfolio of designs that was on his table. His company, Twin Tower, recently won an innovation award and was one step ahead of crossing another milestone. Due to this, they planned to do a new branding of their products and they needed his final decision. Those designs had slept on his table for more than three weeks, but he still didn't feel like picking a choice at all.He stared at the diff

She begged for Louis to take her words seriously, to trust her when she said she had handled it to a certain extent.“I can feel the temptation to add this to your cart but you must consider yourself,”Louis stared at Queen, giving her words a thought. Everything sounded like facts to him but he couldn't hold himself from handling his problem. His fingers itched to get busy and his conscience wanted a dismissal of her pleas. However, deep down in his heart, he wanted to see if Queen had what it took to hold true to her words. With a grudge filled heart and a reply that felt like the weight of the world, crumpled upon it, muffling the volume of his voice.“Okay, thank you very much,” Louis uttered.Queen gaped at him, thinking Louis gave her a response to another question. She asked again if Louis would fuss over the situation but Louis gave her the same half-hearted response.“Gosh!” She exclaimed, brushing her hair to the side. “I didn't know you'd agree so easily,”Louis kept silen
