2024-10-29 19:42:56It's my wedding day…Sean thought, standing in a daze. Having anxiously waited for this day for months, Sean didn't think ahead about how the day would go, and standing here now makes it a bit surreal.
The wedding march started, the audience lifting to their feet to allow the bride to walk in.
The little flower boys and girls were throwing flower petals on her feet as she walked past.
Her father finally handed her over with a nod, and he took his soon-to-be wife's arm, facing the priest.
Sean zoned out for most of it, making sure to say the right words when needed but most of the time, he was distracted by her beauty…and the exotic way she smelled.
That must be why he didn't hear the announcement in the first place.
“Sean!” Amelia hissed under her breath, jabbing him with her elbow.
“Ow!” He exclaimed, looking up. “What is it?”
Amelia's face was frozen into a weird expression of a half smile and half frown. “The priest asked you something.”
Sean faced the man officiating the ceremony, cursing his absentmindedness.
“I'm sorry sir, could you please repeat that?”
The priest glanced at a piece of paper before speaking. “I asked if you brought along the $1 million?”
His eyes widened, wondering what money had to do with getting married. “What?” He looked around. “What $1 million?”
“The Cruz family demands such an amount from you, I thought you were aware.” The priest answers.
Sean’s hands which were joined together with Amelia's fell apart as he turned to face Amelia in shock.
“ Was this some sick joke?
“Of course not!” he faced her. “Why would you ask me to bring another money after considering all that I've done?!”
It was like looking at another person, Amelia's eyes had hardened. “Oh, please. Paying for a couple of things doesn't mean you've done the best.
Besides, I thought $1 million was too small, but here you are ranting over it.” She snorted.
Sean's jaw dropped to the floor upon hearing these things. Was this a test, because he wasn't so sure of what was happening right now.
Why would she act like she didn't know the sacrifices that he had made for her?
In the past year, they met and started dating, Sean helped pay for her brother's wedding, and then after much pressure, he gave in and bought the house of her dreams as a wedding present…and it was crazy expensive.
The only way he could afford it was through loans, making him entrenched in several feet of debt.
“Amelia,” he called out slowly through clenched teeth. “If this is some sort of sick joke, you better stop it! People are watching.”
She snorts, her eyes hardening even more. It was like another persona had crept up revealing another person. “You're the only one here who thinks this is a joke, Sean. If you don't want to pay the money, then I'll walk right back through that door…only it'll be out of your life, permanently.”
Was she threatening to break up with me on our wedding day if I didn't pay?
The look in her eyes was scary, leaving him with no doubt that Amelia planned to carry out her threats.
He couldn't envision life without her, so he did the only thing he could.
Fell to his knees to beg.
Wrapping his arms around the back of her legs, he pleaded out ignoring the murmurings of the crowd. “Amelia please I'm begging you, if it's about the money I can raise that later and give it to you. We love each other so much, and that's why we should get married not for money.”
Amelia angrily pushed him away. “I loved you…because I thought you had money. Do you know how many rich guys I had to turn down to marry you?” She eyes him with disdain. “I regret dating you honestly, but I thought you were the better option. Although, what's the point of marrying you if you can't keep me and my family happy?”
“She's right, you know?” Amelia's mother Rose stepped in. “You would be lucky to get married to someone as beautiful, classy, and poised as my daughter.” Her smile then turned downright cruel. “She was kind enough to love you and agree to your proposal…not that anyone would want to marry someone like you.” She spat out that last word with disdain.
Sean couldn't take the insults anymore, watching them ridicule his efforts over the years. “You guys think you're so smart huh? Drain me of my hard-earned money, and then toss me to the curb when I'm unable to give in to your demands?” The more he talked about it, the larger his anger grew.
“Over the past years that I've known your daughter, I've spent over a million dollars taking care of your family's debts and needs…if you want to kick me to the curb, then I'm going to have to demand that you remit every single penny.” He announced , taking delight in watching their faces fall into shock.

For the first time in a while, Sean stunned both Amelia and her mother speechless, as they couldn't speak for a good two minutes.The audacity that they both had to talk to him that way, demanding that he spend more money after all he had done for them.“How can you say that?!” Amelia yelled the momentary speechlessness had faded off.“It's not fair now that it's on the other show, is it?” He smirked.Moving his hand a bit, the glint of the wedding ring that Amelia placed on his hand caught the sun. The reminder of his impending nuptials with her sparked more anger, and he tore the ring off his finger tossing it as far away as he might would allow.Sean thought that he had found his soulmate, the woman who completed him but clearly, he was wrong.Amelia didn't have the same objective as he did, only concerned with her happiness in the end irrespective of how it may come about.“I'm done.” He told her. “Clearly, we were wrong for each other. I thought you loved me, I just…” he trailed

Sean stood rooted to the spot, still in shock as he tried to make sense of what he was seeing.While he was still contemplating his decisions, a long black limousine pulled over to the curb where he was standing.Everything was happening so fast, which made him scared.He moved back several feet, staring at the car door while waiting for it to open.A minute later, the back door opened and a long, lean leg came down encased in black heels.It was everything that stood still at that money, eagerly waiting for whoever it was to reveal herself.Amelia and his marriage was forgotten at that moment.She unfolded herself from the car seat, and her long blond hair flowed like liquid behind her.She has dark sunglasses perched on her dainty nose, a Rolex in her left hand, and a string of expensive beads along her neck.She was the epitome of wealth, every swish of fabric screaming expensive.When she saw Sean, she smiled walking towards him with her arm outstretched but before their skin coul

Chloe stood in front of Mr Lester, shaking like a leaf.She had always hated the man, realising that something was off about him. The lingering stares, how he practically stripped her naked when he looked at her.All in all, Lester rubbed her the wrong way and she did everything possible in her power to steer clear from him, except when it was unavoidable…like now.“I asked you a question, girl!” He growled, slamming his hand on the table.“S-sir, I-I…” Chloe stuttered, not sure what to say.“You're dragging us back, Chloe. Both this month and the last, you failed to meet your target.” Lester said, walking around her in a predatory manner. “If you continue like this, it won't bode well for the company.”She started to panic, reading between the lines. Ever since Chloe started working in this company, Lester had been looking for an excuse to fire her.Tears welled up in her eyes, and she folded her hands in prayer. “Sir, please…don't do this. I promise I'll work harder and be better!”

Lester's mouth dropped open in disbelief. He thought Sean was bluffing as he certainly couldn't buy that type of villa, especially with the money he had- if he had any at all.“You want to buy it?” He asked once again to be sure he heard properly.Lester felt Sean was bluffing and wanted to call his bluff, embarrassing him in front of everyone.Sean shrugged. “Bring it. If you get it, then I'll pay.”Lester turned his back to them pretending as though he was looking for something. He smiled mischievously before he reached for the intercom, pressing a button that would patch him to his secretary.“Jane darling, why don't you step into the office for a little bit?” He says, waiting for her confirmation before he tacks on something. “Oh, and bring the Marques file along with you.”He rubbed his hands in anticipation, ready to humiliate Sean. “My secretary is coming up with the necessary documents and contracts. Although I have to warn you, this particular villa is not less than $50 mill

Lester looked confused, his head whipping around so fast it made his vision spin.“Wh-What are y-you talking about?” He stuttered, sweating bullets. “I didn't do anything wrong!”Mr Jones face was stoic, not an ounce of pity on his face.That only made Lester more worried, and he jumped around rummaging through his desk looking for something. Once he got the piece of paper, he held it up triumphantly. “Look, this is it! Duke here was the one who bought the house, not me!”Lester was so obsessed with himself that he didn't notice the sneer on Jones' face. “You should be thanking me, and Sean here should be kicked out! He doesn't have the money it takes to buy such a property like that.” He laughed suddenly. “I mean, look at him…confidently whipping out his card to pay! Such a joke.”No one was smiling though.Jones finally spoke up after allowing Lester to rant. “You must have made a mistake then. Saying that Duke bought the house instead of Sean is…a bit off.”“What are you saying the

Chloe waited for the men to leave first, and just as Sean was about to walk out the door, she stopped him with a hand on his arm. “Hey, hold on.”Sean turned back with curiosity, waiting. “What is it?”Chloe couldn't be sure if there were people listening in, and she didn't want anyone to over their conversation.Pulling him away from the door, she stepped in front of him staring him down.“Look, I'm just in shock as anyone else, okay?” She blew out a breath. “How did you do it? Able to afford that kind of house? I thought you said you didn't have that kind of money.”Sean was caught between the rock and a hard place. He stared back at Chloe, the truth sitting in the tip of his tongue but something held him back from telling her.He wasn't sure if he could trust her yet, despite how innocent looking she seemed.Telling her about his sudden inheritance would only warrant more questions and for her to poke harder…so it was best he didn't.“Promise you won't say anything to anyone?”“Who

Ray pointed at him, ordering the guards. “Arrest him!”Sean just stood there in bemusement, wondering who they were trying to order. “What are you waiting for?”The guards had their orders and much to Ray's surprise instead of hauling Sean away, they matched towards Ray and Amelia.“Sir, Ma'am. You need to come with me.” The guard in front took the lead, his hand resting on his baton.Ray looked around in bewilderment, moving back a bit. “This is some sick joke, right?”The guard's face remained blank but he flexed his hands, the threat clear. “Sir, unfortunately you're trespassing and you need to leave or you will be taken out.”Amelia gasped, placing a hand on her chest as she hid behind her brother. “You can't mean that! Are you threatening us?”“I wouldn't want to be crude but this house belongs to Mr Sean, and it's obvious that he doesn't want you here.”“I don't bloody care what that church rat says!” Ray blows hot. “This is ours!”Sir, I'm trying to be respectful and not apply

The beep from the EKG monitor was the only sound present in the room. Sean had sat just as he was seated throughout the night, holding Chloe’s hands as she received the treatment, the doctors had done a mini surgery and removed the bullet. He also cleaned up the injury and she was still unconscious, Chloe’s eyes had only fluttered open once in the night and the only thing she had said was “Sean” and she went back to sleep.“Are you sure I shouldn’t switch with you? You’ve been keeping watch throughout the night.” Maeve asked him her concern was clear in her eyes. Sean scoffed and shook his head.“No. This is my fault, all of it is my fault and now she is probably fighting for her life.” Maeve sighed. “She's not fighting for her life. The doctor said she’s safe, all that’s left is for her to receive proper treatment.

A few seconds before her head snapped up and she looked at him.“No, I won’t be doing that, I'd rather die than let you go scot free and I mean that in every possible way.” She snapped at him and immediately he pulled out a knife again and wrapped his left hand around her neck, he placed the knife on her neck and led them downstairs, Chloe groaned in his hands, acting up to hide this year that she felt when he pressed the knife a

Camille wanted to say something but he pressed his hand over her lips firmly. “If this goes wrong because of you, trust me I will invent ten thousand ways to slowly kill you, so shut up!” He hissed.“If you don’t have something reasonable to say then I swear I will shoot you right here right now” Clement growled as he walked over to where Drake stood with Chloe, he bent toward her and held her chin. “Hello Chloe, I trust they’ve been treating you poorly.” “You don't need to worry about me, it seems you have bigger problems,” she said to him, and he chuckle

The gun remained on Drake's head and the knife remained on Chloe’s neck as the three of them walked into the building again. If Ivan knew better he would have taken the risk and fought her out of Drake's hands, but who was going to believe a man hardened by life’s many struggles would hesitate to cut his prisoner's neck wide open.

They settled in a corner of the pub, Ivan and Sean on one side and Camille sat pretty opposite, she had the air of someone who felt in charge and her cockiness was enraging Sean.Ivan noticed and patted him on his arms, urging him to remain calm. Ivan leaned forward and pushed one of the beer bottles Fatima had brought, towards her. It was her third bottle.“So, you are here to see your former captor, get a closer look?” Camille asked as she took a large gulp of the lukewarm drink, Sean had taken a bottle and decided he had enough but she was still going at three. It definitely pointed to some kind of celebratory mood.“No actually, we need your help on something,” Ivan told her and Sean watched as his friend delved into an Oscar award-winning act, his face twisting into a concerned one.“Recently, one of our friends went missing, we didn’t know if it was a voluntary ghosting or an actual case so we are being more on the low profile side. She was last seen in this area, I was hoping s
