Walls glittering with the sprinkles of designs littered all around them, perfect red carpets and the most beautiful lights dropping down from the sky.
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.

He loved the vibes he was getting just from the short while he had been there. The low-tempo sound that filled his ears felt comforting and almost washed away the eerie feeling he had from the awful experience of the first building he entered.The faces of the six people sitting were not very visible and some appeared to be conversing in discreet tones. He wanted to identify who he was meeting with before he sat, so he texted a message to the number because his calls were not going through. A minute went by, and he still stood quietly for a signal from the real investigator; there seemed to be no response of any sort until his phone rang, and fortunately, it was the investigator's number. He hurriedly answered the call and spoke in a low tone.“Hello, this is your client speaking. Where are you?

Most people only realize when she's miles away with their money in Nevada” A man echoed, which made Louis turn his neck after a loud sigh.It was the tattered-looking man who kept peering his neck in Louis' direction. He spoke at the top of his voice like he was merry for seeing Louis and he had a wide grin on his face.

“I want information on my family,” Louis revealed in a low and uncertain voice. Her attitude toward him made his senses tingle, but he assumed it was a natural feeling around private investigators.

Most of my clients always have an issue with their family or their wives. It's pretty common” “Mine's different. I need to know what they are hiding” Louis replied. He placed his arms on the table and reduced his voice to a whisper.“I don't think you want to know the shady part of your family. That is the advice I always tell the curious clients I always encounter” She sounded like she was trying to scare him off, a feeble attempt by the woman for Louis to validate her method. The austere expression on her face felt forced, and for some reason, she kept fixing her eyes in his shoes.“If I don't, then why the hell would I want to meet

Even his face was covered in dust.“Damn it! They did not have to go so hard on me. The way they pounced on me felt very painful” the man complained. It was futile dusting the sand away from his body because of how soaked he was, he could only hiss in disappointment and grumble out words. The man gestured to Louis to stop trying to dust the dirt off because he was only going to spread it. Louis obeyed and felt willing to thank him for avoiding commotion even if it meant losing his job.“Nah, it's okay. I was getting sick of the inhumane treatment already.

He left with only one bodyguard, and somehow, the three he left found their way to him.“How did you guys meet up with me,” he asked the guard on his right-hand side.“We stood by your car, but the umbrellas were just not strong enough to shield us from the rain.

The bodyguard salivated nervously because that wasn't his job, and he looked scared to pick a fight with Louis, who exuded a deadly aura from his stare alone.“I'm sorry ma'am, I can't…”The slap on his face stopped him from completing his statement. He remained stunned for at least three seconds from the burning sensation of the slap.“Will you obey me now?” she thundered. “What are you still waiting for?”The man had not fully recovered from the first hit on his face before she launched two successive slaps to his face, panting speedily at him. She pointed at Louis and yelled for her guard to spring into action. The man exhaled angrily, he looked at Gavin and turned to Louis, huffing loudly as their eyes met his.

The situation was getting heated and she was getting ready to lose her cool.“Ohh, I'm not getting on anyone's nerves. I'm just not used to the pretense I'm seeing.
