"Good morning, Miss Miller." Seeing Irene come out of the kitchen, Luxury greeted her. Irene put down the plate of fruits as she saw her. Noticing the file in her hand, Irene asked, "Good morning, why are you here? Is something wrong at work?""Ahh, no. I came here because Mr..." Just when she was about to answer her, Conall appeared there. "I have told Miss Martin to come, I've something important to talk to her." Conall added, walking to the ladies.Hearing him, Irene looked at him in confusion. She knew Conall didn't know Luxury so there was no way they were working together on something or maybe they did but she didn't know? But if that really happened then he would have told her about this, in fact Luxury wouldn't hide things from her, right?But that was not the thing which concerned her though, rather the file Luxury was carrying pulled all her attention."Wait, what's wrong? Did you find a solution for Mr. Desmond's case?" Irene questioned, sounding a little excited."It's n
• A week later •"There's only an hour left till the wedding starts. Mr. Hudson." Conall tossed his phone on the seat and sped up the car. If not for the sudden business urgency, he would have been in the wedding venue by now but... Ring!As his phone, Conall took a look at the front way then he leaned to get his phone. Boom! There, Irene moved back and forth anxiously. In a princess wedding dress, and with all the makeup and hairstyle, she looked like a princess.Checking the timing in her phone, she bit her lips then dialled Conall's phone number for the 16th time but she couldn't contact him at all.'It has been so long since the last time I talked to Conall, he said he would be here before the wedding starts but only fifteen minutes left till the wedding starts, he is nowhere to be seen. Far more, I can't contact him.'"Miss Miller." Luxury hung up the phone and hurriedly ran to her. "Did you contact Conall? Where is he?""Uhmm..."Seeing her pale reaction, Irene touched her
"1, 2 and... 3."As Irene threw the flower bouquet towards the crowd, all the men and women ran to grab it. Surprisingly, Luxury picked it up and the crowd cheered for her.In the happy moment, Irene was watching how everyone was so happy. Her dream to have a fulfilled family finally became true.Irene was about to walk to Conall who was talking to his friends when suddenly a familiar face came to her view. Upon seeing her, the person quickly ran away."Babe, where are you going?""I'll be back soon.""Is everything alright?""Yes."Irene ran after the person, the faster the person ran the more Irene wanted to see who it was. For a moment, she thought she was hallucinating. Why would the person who hated her would attend her wedding?"Mrs. Thompson." Stopping at a point, Irene called out loudly and the person with a mark stopped. "If you came to see the bride's face, you should give her the blessings as well. Don't you know the traditions?"Hearing her, Alora turned to her direction.
"Stop right there, Miss. You better stop running!" A pair of bald masculine bodyguards who were as tall as a tree called out loudly from a close distance, causing the girl in a one shoulder long satin prom to pause on her track. She had her stiletto in one hand while her purse on the other. Between her heavy breaths, she looked at the men with a tint of fear in her almond shaped brown eyes. Her sunkissed balayage hair covered her high cheekbones as her eyes scanned the whole place quickly, her small delicate face turned into a pale one now.Running bare footedly for a while, Irene Miller was so exhausted yet she couldn't just get caught.'I need to find the room... As soon as possible or else...'Suddenly she felt her head start spinning, some voices becoming distant yet near. Dropping her shoes on the floor unmindfully Irene grabbed her dress as she began running again.Holding the key card in her hand firmly, Irene looked in both directions in confusion. Not because she was uncert
The Next MorningThe melodious chirping of the birds outside announced the arrival of the morning when two naked bodies were still lying on the soft bed in the room. Clothes thrown at here and there on the floor were the proof of their passionate last night.Irene slightly moved to her side of the bed. As she heard the sweet tweeting of the birds her lips curled into a bright smile."It's morning... a new day." Sitting on the bed, she yawned. Irene felt sore all over her body for some reason, as if someone had tortured her last night.Slowly opening her eyes as she reached to grab her phone from the side table like she usually does, fear and shock washed over her.Irene covered her mouth with her hands in utter disbelief as she mumbled, "This is... Sh!t! Where the heck am I?"Looking around, all she could see was clothes cast here and there on the floor. Then her eyes caught on the figure sleeping next to her on the bed soundlessly.Like seeing a ghost, Irene quickly jumped from the b
"My beautiful Rena, you look so gorgeous today. Alvin won't be able to take his eyes off of you when he sees you haha."Seated on the chair, Irene stared at the mirror when Leila was laughing out loud while helping her with her shoes. Dressed up in her wedding gown, Irene was supposed to be happy like every bride would be but all she felt was the uneasiness in her heart that kept growing deeper as the clock was ticking by.Noticing the bride was so lost in her imagination, Leila snapped her finger before her eyes. "Babe are you even listening to me?"Instead of answering her Irene pulled her hands in anxiety. "Everything will be ok right? What if something goes wrong and..."Leila patted her shoulder, giving her a cheerful smile. "Of course, it will be. Don't worry too much, it's not like you slept with him on your own accord. You were just drunk. It was a mistake. Far more, Alvin is not a saint ei..." Leila cleared her throat, trying to change the topic.After coming from the hospita
While running in a hurry Irene unexpectedly collided with Alora. She took a step back as she noticed how furious Alora looked."Mom..."Slap!A sharp smack across her face surprised Irene completely, putting her in a daze. Alora stared at her with so much hatred and through gritted teeth she uttered fiercely, "How could you do something so shameless? How dare you!""I...""I know you grew up in an orphanage, you've learnt no manners nor any ethics but we are different. Because of you, we've lost our face in society." Alora burst out angrily. Touching her burning cheeks, Irene bit her lips. Tears were threatening to come out of her eyes yet she was trying her best not to cry."From now on, we don't have anything to do with you. You are no longer a part of our family." David declared.To be a part of the Thompson family? She never considered herself as one but she knew what David meant by those words he spat. "What? Then what will happen to my brother?""Your brother huh? Do you have
"I will wear this dress on our wedding day. And you will wear this one, don't they look cute together? I'm sure we both will be looking so beautiful on the special day."A 26 years old woman seated on the fine wooden chair in Oorgan cafe frustratedly ran her slender fingers through her cherry red hair as the handsome man seated in her opposite uttered not even a single word.The woman let out a sigh and blurted out more cheerfully this time, "Should we set the wedding this month or maybe at the end of next month? That way we will have more time to prepare for our... Wedding."Again the tall man built like a Greek God said nothing except scrolling through his phone. Since he arrived, his concentration was only on his phone as if the woman in front of him didn't even exist.This time she really lost it."Mr Hudson, are you even listening to me? It's only me who's talki..." "Let's break up.""Wha-what?"Knowing that it was to happen sooner or later she still hoped he would treat her dif
