21st Century Bride EIGHTY EIGHT
After having two shots of tequila, Vida switched to a glass of low-content alcohol; as much as she wanted alcohol in her system, she did not want to have to make a fool of herself. Especially with Cynthia in the room, it would only give the older woman a reason to be mean to her and act like she was a nuisance.She was all by herself when a man approached her. She did not want to talk to him, but then something clicked in her mind: if Axel could entertain that woman who was obviously trying to be coy, then why couldn't she do the same? Tit for Tat."Why is such a pretty woman sitting all by herself?" the man asked, and she almost jumped at the cringy way of talking."Who said pretty women can't sit by themselves?" Vida asked, and he laughed, sitting beside her."Well, just in case it's a crime, I am going to keep you company for the night," he said, stretching his hand to her. She giggled, trying to act shy as she took his hand. They had a brief handshake before they pulled away."Her

Axel was a bit worried about how good Vida was looking; he feared that when people saw her, they would be unable to take their eyes off her. He wished he had a little more power to beg her not to wear something that made her look like a goddess. He felt jealousy seeping into his veins as they walked in, and the eyes of men lingered. He, however, felt proud at the same time. He loved how well she looked and how well she complimented him. He could hear people call them a 'Power Couple', and he had to admit that he liked it.Axel led her to the table where the top executives sat, and they sat as well. Axe took his time to do a proper introduction in a way that she would not forget. Her fears soon went away when they barely spoke about business and talked about luxury life and how their children were treating them.All Vida had to do was laugh and chime in whenever necessary; her night was going well until one of the assistants sat at their table."Mr. Manchester, I never thought you'd ma

The last time Vida felt this nervous was when she had to present her portfolio to a board for funding, and even then, once she got up on stage, she felt all of her fears go away. She was a bit afraid right now; it was the first public appearance she was making with Axel since they got back, and she feared something would go wrong that might blow their secret to the entire world. They were supposed to be a happy couple, but what if they ended up blowing their secret before the end of the night?She began to think of all the people she was going to meet at the event; they would want to know who Van Allen's daughter is and if she is up for business. They would want to talk about business jargon, and to date, Vida was barely able to hold onto a piece of thread in business school. Everything seemed to be flying over her head when she was seated in class, and anytime she tried to study on her own, it was almost a waste of time. She dressed in a red dress, as she wanted her clothes to assert

Vida never thought that she would be glad to hear that Axel was not making it home; she was not sure if she would be able to bear sitting there while this pretty girl tried to flirt with him. Axel knew that he was going to be late and by the time he got back home she would be in bed so he decided to call and inform her."Axel wouldn't be making it home tonight," she lied, wanting to see the reaction from Kyra and surely enough, the girl seemed pissed."Well, I guess we should be on our way," Kyra said at once, getting up ready to leave."Why don't you stay for dinner?" Vida did not want to have her for dinner but was trying to push her buttons as much as she could."I have a prior engagement." it was a lie and it was glaring, but none of the girls dared call her out on the lie.Vida saw them off and was glad to get Kyra out of her house at once and hoped that Anna never brought her back here. She went to take off her clothes before she came down for dinner.The dinner was silent as sh

Vida and Axel's relationship got better as they decided to call a truce. Whenever they were both at home, they hung out together. Maria was happy to see the relationship between them. They seemed more like friends, and she hoped that as time went on, they would get closer and probably start acting like a real couple.Axel had invited her out on a jog one morning, and since then, they had been going out on jogs every morning. Vida was glad that she at least got the chance to exercise, and she could not lie that doing it with Axel was more fun than she had anticipated. They would have breakfast together and even as much as they grew closer, Vida was sure that Axel was still keeping things from her, so she could justify her reason for hiding the fact that she had enrolled in a business school from him.She would sneak out whenever he was away for work and only get back home before he came over, so he did not even suspect a thing. Maria was still in the dark about Lila's whereabouts. When

Vida's reaction was a shock to Axel. He expected something dramatic from her; maybe she would take a step back and scrunch up her face in disgust and then, with a questioning expression, demand to know why he had thought that was okay or, worse still, land a slap across his face for trying to kiss her wihtiyt consent but she was more gracious than he thought.She pulled away and looked down. He could swear that he saw a blush climb up her cheeks as she tried to evade his eyes. "I need to..." She did not complete her statement as she excused herself and left him standing there alone.Axel felt his heart explode with happiness. He did not know what pushed him to try, but he was glad he did. Maybe he was finally warming his way into her heart. He needed to do better, so he took out his phone to search for a way to woo a woman. He found that one of the ways to do this was to go to the movies.The room was dark, and the ambience was romantic. Surely if they did this, there might be some pr
