Love, Lies and Billionaires Chapter 64
"Good choice for a bribe," Maren said as she held a glass to her lips, looking at the houses in view. The night was pitch black, with only the full moon to brighten the sky. There wasn't so much wind, which was just perfect as they'd considered a roof top as their choice of location. There was not too bright lighting around them, which not only served as their source of illumination but also as a source of warmth. Alexander scoffed inwardly and waited till the server poured each of them a glass of the almost yellow coloured champagne. Maren stared at the rooftops of the glasshouses, trying to free her mind during this once in a lifetime chance to not work. “Shall we make a toast?” Maren turned to face him. “Alright." She picked up her own glass carefully. "A toast to life, new beginnings, and…" “Forgotten pasts?" A small smile appeared on Maren's face. “Too soon soldier." She clinked her glass on his even if he wasn't ready, then took a sip. “So sorry I couldn't make

The organ music swelled, as the procession began, led by a bishop, followed by Alexander's uncle's both the one she'd met at Alexander's hand over party and the old frail one who had escorted Maren to the altar on their wedding day. Behind them was Alexander and then Maren, who now had on shades again staring at the ground trying to avoid an unwanted angle from showing on the cameras of the press. The following behind was a sea of guests of notable figures from various fields who bothered to join in the procession into the church. The air was thick with emotion as they got to the altar and began dispersing to their various seats. On the other hand, Maren decided not to overthink it and simply walked over to where Nella was seated, making herself comfortable. It was when she had sat that she realised how packed to capacity the cathedral was with dignitaries, celebrities, and ordinary citizens all gathered to pay their respects. When all had settled in their places, the bis

The car came to a smooth halt at the parking lot of the cathedral, taking its place in the midst of many other cars. Maren's gaze fell on her reflection in the rearview mirror. The black eyeliner which she had used under her eyes made her look more moody than she already was. She silently thanked God that she hadn't thought of bringing Nathan to witness what she felt was coming, though he had begged to come along. Maren?” she heard Nella call, peering hopelessly through the tinted glass of the car. Maren turned to her reflection again and took a deep breath before getting her things together and getting out of the car. As soon as she got out, she put on her dark shades and bounced alongside Nella towards the main building. “Damn, I can't believe I'm doing this,” Maren remarked, looking away from everyone who stared at her longer than they should, knowing the shades were as good as useless in hiding her face. “What's there not to believe? You're here to honour your ex fat

Alexander rushed through the white hall, knocking into one or two nurses as he did, but he didn't seem to notice. His eyes were forward and focused on his destination. The guard who followed behind, though supposed to keep a reasonable distance, was now unable to catch up with him, as he was approximately flying. “Oh, my god!” an elderly lady who looked like a ward cleaner screamed as Alexander's sprinting startled her, making her run into her own waste trolley. He just dashed past her and ran to a door. He turned the handle, but it did not budge. He tried again while trying to hit it with his shoulder, trying to break it down. “The fuck?” He yelled and moved to the large transparent window. "Hey, get your filthy hands off him” he banged on the window and screamed at the men in white coats who stood around his dad's bed. “If I get through this door, I promise I'll have your heads." He went back to the door and tried again, hopelessly. “I'm warning you,” he raged, banging mor

“Mr Harding has been looking all over the place for you,” Louise attacked as soon as she saw Maren walk into the main grounds of the hall. She sped up her walking pace as Maren angrily marched towards the where Kendrick stood with some men. Louise turned to look at her boss and noticed her demeanour while keeping up the pace. “Is everything alright?” Maren just kept her eyes forward, and just as she was about reaching where he stood, she fixed her face. “I’m fine. Let just wrap this up and get the hell out of here” “Where have you been, Maren?” On normal terms, Maren’s heart would have skipped a beat hearing him pronounce her name for the first time, but she’d bottled up too much anger that the beat wouldn’t skip. “I got caught up in some shit. I’m sorry.” She explained, her face completely relaxed. She wasn’t going to let Alexander ruin this night. “What am I needed for?” Kendrick studied her for a while, his hands clasped behind him. “Nothing much,

“With that, I'd like to say thank you to all of you who took your time to be here tonight to congratulate me” another round of clapping rented the air. “Goodnight!" Maren climbed briskly down the stage and walked up to Louise, who held out a glass of wine to her. She grabbed the glass and downed it in one gulp, and handed the glass back to her. “You did great, ma’am," she heard Louise compliment behind as she made her way towards the end of the hall and turned a corner, which led to two doors. She pushed in a door which was labelled ladies. She walked in and went straight for the large toilet mirror which hung majestically on the wall, its expansive glass surface reflecting the room with crystal clarity. Standing in front of the mirror, she winced, suddenly feeling the tinge of the wine she had gulped down without thinking. When she was done with her session, she gently placed her purse on a side of the sink below the glass and gazed at her reflection. Slowly, her lips

"Russia'' the name rang in her ears and she gazed at Mr Harding on the stage. Her suspicions were beginning to rise. ‘Who exactly is he?’ Mr Harding, still staring in her direction, beckoned to her to come up onto the stage with a slight furrow on his brow. She quickly snapped out of her thoughts, took a deep breath, and mounted the stage. She flashed her brightest smile and the clapping and flashing of cameras increased. “It's all yours,” he whispered and stepped away from the cockpit. Maren's gut sank, as she hadn't been informed that she was going to give a speech. I mean, was it necessary? She finally fixed her face after watching him move away from the area and through one door at the side. ‘This was just a way he could get away from all this and go do some other shit,’ she realised. The entire hall fell silent, and the only sound that could be heard was the clicking of the cameras’ flashes. Maren stared at the mic in front of her and then at the expectant faces of

Mr Harding kept his eyes on her, even at the information he'd just heard. His face was expressionless and didn't look like he was going to exit the room soon. He took a step closer, making Maren take one back, keeping her eyes on him like she didn't dare look away. He suddenly leaned forward, leaving only a breath of space between them. “Fix your face, we're going to meet the crowd and the press” he turned to the door and left. ‘Weirdo’, Maren thought. How the hell does she keep getting herself into shit like these? She asked herself. She really didn't want to hate this one because if she did, it might affect her teaming up with him. And what the hell was he trying to do? Intimidate her? She scoffed. Deep down, though, age knew that if it had lasted, her leg would be shaken by now. She took a deep breath but regretted it as the air which went up her nostrils was mixed with the sickly smell of blood which the room smelt of. She just braced herself and steadily made

The night was pitch black when the car began to slow down in front of a massive building and made a halt behind the other cars, whose occupants were taking their time to get out. Cameras flashed as the occupant alighted one after the other and walked on the red carpet which led into the hall. ‘Of course Mr Harding has made it public, possibly to clear the rumours about both of them,’ she thought Maren watched all these people walk into the building after striking one or two poses for the cameras. People she only has the privilege to see on tv or on the net were now going to be in the same room as her. As the cars moved forward, so did Maren's till they came to a final halt at the mouth of the carpet and it was her turn to walk the carpet. She looked out the window and back at her hands, which were slightly vibrating because of excitement. “Ma’am, we've arrived," the chauffeur announced, though she couldn't quite see him through the partition in the vehicle. “I know," M
