It didn’t take long before Vincent and Jane arrived at The Crimson Candles Residential Area.
That was the name of the wedding’s location.They finally made it to the venue after a long distance drive.The decor was everything and even more, just like Vincent had demanded.Vincent parked the car in the parking lot where the other cars were parked.Earlier on, Vincent had invited elite guests to the wedding.Even without entering the hall, he knew that most of them were already seated in the hall seeing the numerous luxurious cars that were lined up in the parking lot .Affluent men and women with connections worth keeping.Afterall, all the budget that went into this luxury wedding wasn’t for nothing.It was also an opportunity for people to make more connections.Mr. Issac was not excluded.Vincent invited him because he thought that Mr. Issac needed something to take his mind off ofTequila time during wedding receptions was regarded as a cherished tradition that gives off an extra dose of merriment and excitement during celebrations as the evening gradually unfolds itself.The sun began its descent, casting a ray of warm golden glow over the venue of the wedding reception.Giving an overview of the transition as the sun went down, replacing the serenity of the vicinity with the enchanting allure of the evening.The air was filled with chatter and laughter as the guests mingled and merry with one another.The bride had gone to change into something more befitting of an after party of such occasion while the groom was busy with the other guests in the garden.Elizabeth walked into the garden wearing a stunning blue evening dress that captivated the attention of many.Afterall, she was the bride.The gown had a one shoulder design with a high slit which went almost all the way up.She adorned this look with gold jewellery.A gold necklace and a gold bangle on her
Jane used her eyes to scan Elizabeth from head to toe making sure that she noticed, which she eventually did.Seeing this, Elizabeth drew out a seat and sat down exactly opposite Jane.All of a sudden, she instantly felt uncomfortable and immediately stopped one of the waiters around to bring her a drink.“Since Elizabeth really wanted to play such a game on this day…….Then let it be!”“What was that?!”“With a slight smile on her face, Jane shrugged and picked up her glass of wine to take a sip from it ”Nothing much”Almost immediately the man in a plain black suit returned to their table “There you go Ma’am”The waiter dropped Elizabeth’s wine like she requested, as he gave a slight bow before leaving their table.Their table went silent for a moment as tension rose between the both of them.“I see that you have quite an enthusiasm for colours in gold” Jane said as she continued staring at Elizabeth.“I love how you so easily pointed that out”“You see…….I’m just trying to develop a
Jane’s blood boiled with rage hearing what Elizabeth had just uttered with a mere shrug.“How dare she!”This wasn’t funny at the slightest.It didn’t even come out as a joke to her.She should’ve just completely ignored Elizabeth and let her go the very minute she walked up to her table that evening.Jane was so pissed at Elizabeth's words.She just wanted to throw her that punch that she was explaining to Vincent a few weeks ago.“How could she have said that?!”That was such an unruly thing to say.With the Look on Jane’s face, it was crystal clear to Elizabeth that she had hit the right spot.She had finally hit the hammer on the head of the nail.Now Jane knew exactly how she felt whenever she referred to her as a gold digger.Watching this brought a smile upon Elizabeth’s face.Jane knew that she couldn’t be mad at neither Elizabeth nor Vincent, it was in the past and they were actually dating back then.But she didn’t have to bring that into the present.“Watch your mouth Eliza
Right before they left the parking lot of the wedding venue, someone had been watching the supposed conversation between Vincent and Jane the entire time.She wanted that to happen and that was exactly what she got.This gave Elizabeth a great feeling of satisfaction on her special day.I was like the icing on a cake…..The ice cubes in her milkshake!At least, this previous conversation between them would take a long while for Jane to digest. Now who had the upper hand in this situation?As the black range rover pulled up into Ms. Anna’s residence, it drove straight into the garage.The moment Vincent stopped the engine, Jane immediately helped herself out of the car and proceeded quickly towards the building without saying a single word to Vincent.It was already very late and Jane just wanted to sleep on the entire incident that had transpired that day.She didn’t even want to attend the wedding in the very first place, talkless of speaking to Elizabeth.She had plans to avoid Eli
Vincent got out of the room and went down the stairs to look for a phone charger in the main parlour.He would just borrow it for the night and then return it the very next morning to the exact same spot he found it.Like a scavenger in the night, he continued to walk around the house quietly, with light footsteps.Searching for a charger at every switch he could lay his eyes on.After a while of searching, he finally found one but unfortunately, it wasn’t the same type as his.The model of his phone was completely different from that of the charger and its port couldn't fit the one in his phone.He then decided to go check his car for a chord since the head of the charger was fine.Vincent went back to his room, picked his keys, hurried through the stairs and went straight to where he had parked his car in the garage earlier.He opened it and searched the entire place to find no charger at all.He always had one or two spare chargers in the car, what happened to them?Or did Samuel t
The night he got in from the wedding, Vincent totally forgot that the last thing he had was food from the wedding and a few glasses of wine.The inviting smell of breakfast along with the loud rumbling of his stomach reminded him about that.With a wide smile on his face, Vincent hurried down the stairs as he followed the smell of breakfast while slowly walking down to the kitchen.Suddenly, the smile on his face vanished the moment he stepped foot into the kitchen.He had totally forgotten that the place was not his house, the chef was not Ms. Marie and he wasn’t the only one living there at the moment.Vincent stopped in his tracks the moment he entered the kitchen to see a familiarly curvaceous figure in a short black romper which complimented her pale skin perfectly.“She’s around?!”She had on a pair of grey coloured crocs and tied up her hair in a messy bun.Apparently, Jane didn’t go to church that morning, she was too tired to.And besides, she woke up thirty minutes later tha
“He was probably just having his revenge by ignoring me the way I did to him yesterday……” Jane thought inwardly to herself as she keenly watched him chew every single bit of muffin.She felt guilty and she probably deserved whatever she was getting and the rest that was to come.She just couldn’t wait to show Elizabeth…….She was so looking forward to the day that she would finally get to deal with that witch using her own two bare hands.Elizabeth was the least of Jane’s problems at the moment but she was still the root cause.She knew that Vincent was childish and had a childlike nature but she didn’t think that he was petty.In the past, he had always been quick to apologise even when she was wrong by putting aside his ego and their differences and asking her what the problem was, trying to sort out things between them.It was her turn.Afterall, there is a saying that goes thus, ‘everyday for the thief, but one day for the owner’That Sunday was the one day she had to swallow her e
“Are you lying?” Vincent questioned Jane with both eyes squinted as though he was struggling to peek at something.The place fell silent for a short moment.Jane couldn’t say yes and she also couldn’t say no at the same time.Elizabeth wasn’t exactly the cause of her anger but at the same time she was.Jane shook her head indicating to Vincent that she was not lying but in fact speaking the truth.“Okay then, if you say so” He agreed, still having a sting of doubt in his mind.This made Vincent more eager and curious to find out what went on between Jane and Elizabeth in his absence at the wedding reception.Jane heaved a sigh of relief the moment she finished tidying up her baking space.She had done the dishes and put them away where each and every single one of them belonged.At least she had gotten one thing off of her chest, two more to go.The first one was the apology she had just made to Vincent while the other two were breakfast and of course…... .Elizabeth.Elizabeth and Sam
