While Ray went off to take his call, Ella as well was having a call with someone, though it doesn’t seem like a pleasant one. The call had ended pretty quickly and Ella couldn’t help but sigh wearingly. “Well, news nowadays travels faster, thanks to the internet. Now how do I tell everyone that I was rejected.” Right after saying this, she could see Ray approaching her. “Alright, let’s go.” Ray said as he opened the door of the car. “Where.. are we going?” Ella was dumbfounded. “I thought we’re meant to see your parents. You know,… after the big announcement you made.” He replied. “Wait, you’re not rejecting me?!” Ella exclaimed. “Why will I reject you? You know, you seem kind of odd around me lately, I thought you were going to threaten me to marry you. But your actions to me so far,… it doesn’t seem like the lady from this morning who kept on calling me a scum.” “Ahah, that morning, I was a little bit frightened and shocked. So I must have lashed out at you harshly. I’m usu
The big announcement from Ella had came as a shock to everyone, including the Monroe’s family. And Simon, upon hearing the news had tried to persuade Ella from changing her mind.He had immediately walked over to approach her. “Miss Queen, I think you might have made a mistake.” He said.“What do you mean?” Ella asked.“This guy here is just a country bum. How would you decide to wed to him? How did you even know him in the first place? We are quite influential in our family and our youths are very successful, they can help you financially with multiple business ideas. You shouldn’t waste your time on a trash like him.” Of course, Simon was talking about himself. He was the only successful person in their family. He was hoping Ella would decide to marry into their family, and if possible, cancel the wedding with the Monroe’s family. So he was trying to badmouth Ray so Ella would decide against marrying him.“Mr Simon, when I came here, did I say I came for the Grayson family, or to
About forty people had gathered before Ella to greet her, among which are Simon and Grace, the groom and bride. But among them, Ella couldn’t find the person she was here for. She tried looking around the hall for him, but because of those that surrounded her, she was finding it hard to spot that specific person. And the person was none other than Ray. Out of desperation, she decided to ask Bruce about him. “Where’s your new son-in-law?” “See, I told you she’s here for the Grayson’s family.” “Well, the Grayson’s family are quite influential, so it’s reasonable for her to be here to honour their wedding.” The guests kept on discussing amongst each other. And Simon who had heard that Ella was seeking for his presence, had started making his way to the front. “Hi, Miss Queen. I’m Simon Grayson.” Simon said, attempting to shake hands with Ella. Taking a look at who the groom was, Ella was expecting to see Ray but instead she had seen someone else. “Is he the groom?” She asked, and
“You… you disgust me, prepare to die!” Simon yelled as he prepared to fight Ray. However, he was stopped in his action when a specific person appeared in front of him. It was his Father; Luca Grayson. He‘s an old man in his late sixties whose appearance doesn’t seem to match his age. Honestly, he looked more like a middle aged person considering that he had no grey hair. Or perhaps he must have dyed it. “Son, I want you to stop this immediately. Today’s your wedding day, and many of our guests have come here to celebrate you. It won’t be good to turn such a grand place into a bloody one. This is not a battlefield.” Luca stated, and after a bit of hesitation, Simon had decided to stop. His anger had subsidised a little, but he still wanted to embarrass Ray in front of everyone. Even if he couldn’t do it now, he had so many other times when he could do it. Ray himself wasn’t willing to fight, he wondered what will happen if he was to beat Simon in front of everyone. Sure he could
“Grace Munroe, I’ll ask you once. Do you love and wish to marry me. It doesn’t matter whatever you want, I will provide you with everything.” Ray asked, hoping what Bruce said to him was a joke. Removing the veil that was over her face, Grace sneered disgustingly at Ray. “What are you doing here?” She asked. “Answer my question Grace! Do you love and wish to marry me?” Ray said again, his blood boiling slowly. From hind sight he could see that Grace was no longer fond of him. But he needed to ask this just in case. “No!” She exclaimed, drawing the attention of everyone, including the groom’s family. “Why on earth will I marry someone as useless as you? You look so shabby and disgusting that I want to puke.” “Love? Far from it. I’ve never loved you! And did you just say you will provide me with anything? Are you rich enough to buy me a Rolls Royce car?” She replied bluntly, not caring that she was hurting his feelings. At that moment, a young man had walked towards the tw
Due to the shabby clothes and ruffled hairstyle on Ray’s head, not so many would recognise him as the war god. Since nowadays, many people find it hard to read the newspaper or watch the news, so many do not know what the war god looks like. They only hear the news and tales of his impressive feat in the concluded civil war. He’s not the type of celebrity people would want to learn about, unlike superstar musicians, artists and football players. At the moment, Ray had just arrived at the Munroe’s apartment. Before they got here, he had stopped at a boutique store where he bought a pair of black suit for his wedding. Due to the rush to catch up with the wedding, they had just selected a random black suit. Ray’s stuff was still being shipped to his hometown, it will take like two days before it arrives, all along with his cars and properties. Since Grace was his first love, and it has been a very long time since he’d last seen her, he was so keen to meet her. Although, the Munro
“If you don't want my money, then what do you want?” Ella asked as she proceeded to sit at the edge of the bed. “I really don't want your money, but I could receive something else instead.” Ray moved from his spot as he went towards Ella, pinning her down on the bed. She was too slow to react, as Ray was now on top of her. It was so sudden and unexpected that she hadn't attempt to struggle at all. While in this position though, she could feel her heart beating at a very fast rate. For a minute, the two exchanged glances, until suddenly, Ray stood from his position and then clicked his tongue. “Nah, I'll be cheating on my fiancé if I was to do this. Yesterday’s incident wasn't intentional. So I'll let it slide.” Ella was flustered by this domineering act. She let out a few disgruntled sounds before sitting up to recompose herself. “What was that for? Are you planning to blackmail me after this? Remember I offered you money, but you refused!” She said, challenging Ray.
Letting out a yawn as he stretched, Ray found himself in a strange but beautiful looking apartment. He was lying on a wide large bed which appeared to be soft and comfy, unlike the wooden bed he had been sleeping in for the past few months during war. Thankfully, the war was over and he had not just gotten a promotion but was also allowed to go on a holiday till the next mission. This individual was none other than Ray Gibson, a skillful soldier who had just gotten the rank of a general in the army. He was nicknamed the god of war due to his successful achievements in numerous wars, and his fame had risen even further after the last war between their country and another country. However, despite the comfort he was feeling, he felt like something was incredible wrong. At that moment, he heard a woman's moan beside him. A sound that had caused him to pull away the blanket, revealing a naked but beautiful lady sleeping beside him. He jumped up immediately. “What the hell is g
