Secretly the god of war

006

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 everyone knowingly had answered yes. “I guess it’s true then. It’s not just a rumour.”

“What is a rumour, dear miss?” Simon dared to ask. He had withdrawn his hands back as Ella refused to shake him.

“I thought Ray was meant to be wedding the daughter of the Monroe’s family today?” Ella said.

Everyone was confused as they wondered why Ella was asking for the loser of a man called Ray.

“Dear Miss, if I may ask, how do you know Ray Smith?” Bruce asked.

“He’s a friend, I came here because he invited me. And I also came to give him a gift.”

As soon as she said this, she spotted someone at the far end of the hall, attempting to leave through the back door. So she opted to chase after them before they leave.

However her words had left everyone confused as they wondered what affiliation Ray had with Ella to have warrant such closeness.

Just how could it be?

Ella was from a different class, a level above every other levels. While Ray was just a poor worthless scum who almost destroyed a perfect marriage between two families.

They were clearly from different worlds, so how could the two have known each other?

The guests were even more confused as they realised that Ella hadn’t come for the Grayson’s family nor the Monroe’s family, and instead had came to seek for the loser, Ray.

Simon was the most embarrassed among the others and his fists won’t stop tensing with anger.

Despite his pleasantries, Ella hadn’t even taken a glance at him. Neither did she took his hands when he offered for an handshake. It was as if he didn’t exist at all to her.

He didn’t imagine she would be here for someone else, and Ray to be precise.

“That bastard.” Simon grinned his teeth together. “You’ll pay for all the humiliations I went through today.”

Luckily, Ella had managed to caught up with the individual before they left through the back door.

Though Ray had already seen her approaching, he would have avoided if only the back door had been accessible.

“It’s you, isn’t it?”

The person she was referring to was none other than Ray, who stared wearingly at her.

“Are you here to accuse me of yesterday’s accident? Well, you can go on with it, I’ve already been so humiliated today. Adding one more to it won’t hurt.”

Ray’s thought was that Ella was here to have revenge on him or something. However, her next move had surprised him greatly.

Walking closer to Ray, Ella had leaned towards him as she planted a kiss on his lips. This was the first time she would voluntarily kiss a man. And it felt so good to her.

She didn’t even care if the people were watching, she kissed him so passionately that it lasted for about two minutes.

Many of the guests had started taking pictures as they captured the scene of the moment, in doing so, they had started uploading the videos and photos to the internet.

The beauty goddess of the Queen family openly kissing a man in public? To the guests that already knew who Ray was, they were so shocked and surprised by this.

Why would a beauty goddess like Ella kiss a loser like Ray. It felt so embarrassing to them.

The situation in the room had turned a little bit awkward. They couldn’t believe that Ella was acquainted to the Ray they just despised.

Could it be that they were lovers? If Ray was to inform Ella of their crude act towards him, they wondered what will happen to them.

Ella was the head of all CEOs in Slough City, if she was to stop supporting their company or gives a bad review about it, majority of the customers will stop patronising them. They couldn’t imagine getting on her bad side.

The kissing had stopped, and Ray, out of shock had asked what it was all about. Why Ella had kissed him all of a sudden.

“Are you trying to expose our secret from yesterday to everyone here?” He whispered.

Ella smiled as she heard this, and then she replied. “Nope, I have something else in mind. I’m here to pay back a debt to you for saving my life.”

After saying this, she turned to face the crowd who had immediately went silent upon seeing her. Those who were taking pictures had immediately hid their devices, though it was still being secretly used by some.

“I came here to announce to you all that this man here, Ray Smith will be married to me.” Ella announced.

Hearing this, the crowd had let out a gasp, mostly out of disbelief and astonishment. They couldn’t believe the beauty goddess will be marrying someone like Ray.

And Ray himself couldn’t believe what he just heard. His mouth were open wide in shock as he glanced surprisingly at Ella.

“Are you serious??” Ray questioned.
