Chapter Two

“With all legalities checked and confirmed, this court declares Elara Shauna Wilde and Alistair Bane now husband and wife”

“Finally”, Elara said under her breath. Elara turned, her flowing sky blue dress hugging all her endowed features nicely. She walked with some difficulty and she had to stop as neither of her attempts to free herself somewhat were working.

“Do I have to ask you to help me Alistair? Urghhh!”

Elara began pulling the dress up, trying to get some of it off under her feet.

“Help her Alistair, would you?”, Mrs. Wilde said to Alistair, a plastic expression on her face.

“Don't just stand there moron”, his mother-in-law said in a lower tone, as she came close to him.

“Oh… ummm… sorry”, Alistair apologized, getting down on one leg to take up the tail of her dress. He didn't know why but the face of one of the lawyers at the court had such a striking resemblance yet he couldn't place a finger on where he knew the man from exactly. He held the tail of the dress so Elara could walk properly. He followed closely so she wouldn't be too far from him, lest the light material could rip apart. They got outside the court and Elara began walking faster than normal towards the flowered hedges.

“I want to take a picture here”, she said, giving her phone to Alistair.

“It better be good”, she said, a sudden cold expression. Alistair arranged the tail of her gown before stepping back to take her picture. Her mother soon joined as well and Alistair took a lot of pictures of them together.

“Not bad”, Elara said when she saw the picture. “Can we go now? I can't spend another second in this dress”, she said, walking short restrained steps towards the car.

Alistair helped her into the Mercedes, sweeping her tail gown off the grass. He got the door and went back round to the other door. Apparently, it wouldn't open and he soon came to find out why.

The window rolled down and Mrs. Wilde's disgusted face eyed him down.

“What exactly are you trying to do?”, She asked him.

“Can we go mum?”, Elara whined. “What the **** are you doing standing there? Are you dumb? Get a cab or something. You can't come in the car”

“Exactly”, Mrs. Wilde added. “Driver please, move the car”

The driver drove off immediately and Alistair was left at the court. Alistair had to walk up to where he could get a cab to the house. But he didn't go there immediately. Wanting to pay a visit to his old nanny, he directed the cab to their apartment.

Meanwhile, Elara celebrated at home as her father gifted her a second car - a G-wagon

“Oh my God Daddy!”, She cried happily as she jumped on him.

“I love it! And in a customised colour to!”, She squealed, touching the pink handle of the car.

“Thank you so much”

“It's nothing my dear. I'm glad you like it”

“I love it!”, she said, getting into the car. She revved the engine, screaming inside the car. When she'd finally calmed down, she got her phone out to take pictures.

“I just got a G-wagon!”, she screamed into her selfie. She cropped the picture and uploaded to her page with a couple other pictures. Just then, a call came in.

“Hey boo”, Elara said, as she walked happily on the steep stairs leading up to her own side of the house. Her parents had decided to also gift her one wing of the house connected to theirs so she could have some privacy. She adjusted the phone as she plunged in the keys into the keyhole.

“What's up?”

It was Ethan Sterling.

“I'm good babe. How are you?”

“Well, stressed but happy. You have got to guess what”

“What?”

“Just guess”, she said in an excited tone.

“Alright.”, He said, plopping onto his couch. “You finally got rid of the bastard?”

“What? No”, she replied, laughing. “Not yet at least”

Ethan smirked, not because of the call but because of the display in front of him.

“So what's the surprise?”

“My dad got me a G-wagon!”, She said excitedly. “Yeah, the exact one I've always wanted”

“Nice”, Ethan said. “You deserve it”

“I know right”, she said, walking into her bedroom as she dropped the keys of her new car on the desk table.

“So you haven't still gotten rid of the bastard have you?”

“No… well not yet and … not any time soon either. I told you. I'm betrothed”

“Right. Back to that story”

“Yeah .. plus today was the court wedding.”

“Oh that was today?”, Ethan said in mild surprise as he'd forgotten but wasn't really sorry for it. He'd already planned not to attend anyways.

“Yes Ethan. You promised me you'd come”

“I know babe. I'm sorry”, he said, smiling as he walked to one of the stripper ladies in front of him. He brought her close, slipping his hand to her backside.

“I really am”

“Well, apology not accepted. You have to come over to make it up to him”

The lady moaned softly as he grabbed her and placed his finger on his lips to keep shut.

“But you know I don't feel comfortable around your parents”

“No it's gonna be my wing of the house. My own private wing. My parents won't be a problem and they have an event today anyway so they'll probably be out when you get here”

“Okay. If you say so then. What time do you want me to be there?”

“Two”, she said, looking up at her task bar. It was 1.19 p.m

“Ok baby. I'll be there. I have to go now”

“Byee”

The call ended before she even finished saying goodbye. Ethan threw his phone on the side table near, pinning the lady to the wall. Pressing his lips against hers, his hands went up to her small bosom, cupping them each in his hand while the other grabbed aggressively. Pulling away suddenly, he licked his lips, looking hungrily at her almost naked body.

“I'll have you for dinner”, he said, as he took his keys from the holder.

He went into his room, taking the shirt off the hanger.

“Sir…?”

“Send the rest away and groom the other till I come”, Ethan instructed as he buttoned up his shirt. “I'll be back in two hours time”

He walked out, letting the elevator door slide open on their own. The elevator hit the ground floor and Ethan walked out of his office apartment building. His driver got into into the Rolls Royce as soon as he sighted his boss. The doorman got the door and Ethan got in, his pair of Ray Ban glasses handed over to him before the door was shut.

“The Wilde's estate please”
