All of them dig into their food and started eating except Bill and Nelly who were just picking at their food. After their meal, Bill demanded to have a word with Michael in private, so they went to his home office to discuss.“Dad, is that lady downstairs the person you want me to marry?

Chapter Sixchapter sixThe auditorium became so quiet that if a pin drop the sound will be heard from miles away. Bill delayed a little in answering the question which made everybody wait in anticipation. He looked in the direction of his father and his father was glaring dangerously at him, the glares were speaking volumes that only Bill could decode. It was as if his father was saying, if you try anything funny then you are dead. Bill knew better than to do anything contrary to what is supposed to be done. After a moment of silence, he finally said, “I do" in a low tone and there was an uproar in the whole auditorium.“By the power vested in me, I now declare you husband and wife, you may now kiss your bride," the priest said with enthusiasm.Bill looked at Nelly with disgust written all over his face, he went to her and bent towards her making their lips just inches apart. Nelly's heart started thumping in her chest, she was thinking he will kiss her. “Welcome to hell" he whisper
Chapter Seven"Where do you guys want to go? he questioned them again.“I don't think that will be necessary" Nelly responded.“But why? Michael asked staring at the both of them.“We have companies to run, we can't just leave it for weeks all in the name of honeymoon, we can have our honeymoon here," Nelly said praying silently for them to leave the honeymoon issue.“What about you Bill, are you okay with spending your honeymoon here? Roddy asked Bill to the irritation of Nelly. She just hoped that Bill will not counter what she has already said.“I think Nelly is right, we have companies to run so it will be better if we stay here and oversee our company, besides we can always travel for our honeymoon anytime," Bill said to Roddy.“It is alright, if you guys insist that you don't want to travel, who am I to coax you, just know that the offer is still open anytime you guys want it," Roddy said to them and Nelly nodded in response while Bill just looked on without saying anything.“I
