"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
The faint music with the accompaniment of the not-so-chaotic crowd combined quite well, people were dancing with their partners when Irene was more concentrated on someone else. She calmly watched the man whom most women felt lucky to get a glimpse of.As she extended her hand for another glass absentmindedly, suddenly Maria snapped her fingers right before her eyes while snatching away the wine glass from her hand."Iri, how long are you gonna look at him? You might dig a hole if you keep staring at him like that." Maria teased."Oh, you are finally here. Bid goodbye to your charming boy already?""Don't change the topic. I've been calling you for a while now but you didn't even give me an eye. Are you that smitten by the Greek God?"Irene paused, looking around and she mumbled lowly, "What smitten? Don't be funny.""That man you are looking at. The way you were staring at him said it all." Maria pointed her fingers at the man at whom all the women were drooling. He stole the spotlig
For a while, Conall kept his gaze fixated on the suit that was kept on the settee. It was the one that he wore in yesterday's party, strangely the woman he met in the party was stuck in his mind. Though the news was taken down, he still remembered her face clearly.No human being ever showed him such disrespect like Irene did."President, there is a bad news." Owen sucked in a breath as he entered the CEO's office with a worried look on his face all of a sudden.Conall cleared his throat, walking towards the settee casually, "What happened?""You need to go to the City Hospital right now. Old lady Zoe...""What happened to her?" Conall's facial reaction changed as soon as he heard Owen. Though Conall didn't show he cared much but the truth was, he cared about Zoe. Seated in the car Conall was too focused on his tab, he couldn't wait to reach the hospital. In the Hudson family, Conall had only his grandmother who loved him though he had uncle and aunt and also his cousin but they all
