Twice To The Altar

Drake Harris adjusted in his seat, it looked like a scene from his favourite soap opera was being displayed, all other guests too were baffled by Amelia`s declaration. Amelia didn’t waste more time trying to rethink her steps she gave in to her impulsiveness, she detached her ball skirt from the outfit leaving the strapless skimpy gown which perfectly hugged her curvy hips, there were gasps from the audience and her groom was about to lose his mind. She collected the microphone from the priest ."That was quite uncomfortable, I mean the dress", she laughed at her own silly joke and continued. "Good day ladies and gentlemen, all protocols duly observed, I am annulling my wedding today because my groom turned out to be sleeping with my bridesmaid and she is carrying his child". Drake scoffed practically out of amusement, so was diverse reactions from the guests"I am sorry we had to put you through the trouble of showing up as I had my worst nightmare last night in reality," her voic

Leonard Lane had found himself the best disguise to move around undetected, he had a straggly moustache and beards attached to his plain face which made him look a decade older.He had to find Amelia despite trying to avoid the reporters, he knew he couldn’t face her parents yet but he had to make her realize his love for her supersedes his lust for Jennifer`s voluptuous body.Tracking her phone wouldn’t work so he had to visit all her favourite malls, restaurants, and. salons. He reached out to Maya who was nettled by his betrayal but more worried for her sister`s safety. Her parents were already losing their minds desperately searching for their fragile daughter, despite the text she dropped about needing some time alone. They were afraid she might hurt herself so they had to find her as soon as possible.Drake Harris was afraid, he considered the implication of the precarious situation he had gotten himself into, Graham Dinkins could have him arrested for kidnapping his precious dau

Drake paced endlessly agitated by the reality of what he had done, he waited desperately for Amelia’s call but it never came through.“I can't overlook this”.He whispered to himself and got out of the office.He was certain it was his child but he was still confused on how to handle the overwhelming situation.He got into the elevator and it felt like it was taking forever to reach the ground floor.When he finally got there, it was as he assumed,the rumor of Amelia being a pretentious slut had filled the air.Some of his staff sank back into their serious work mode when they saw him but the customers couldn't care less,they kept dissecting the issue further and somehow—-it hurts him.Drake zoomed off the office premises without an actual clear destination in mind.Was it supposed to be the hospital? Or her home?The only clear thought is that he had to see Amelia.A thought occurred to him,he picked up his phone and dialed Maya’s number but unfortunately,she kept dropping the call.He

Graham stretched his neck forward through the transparent barricade to the VIP section of the exquisite lounge. He adjusted his sunglasses as his eyes met with the very ones he was trying to see.He walked in confidently with his head up high and raised a defiant chin as the Harris couple stood up to acknowledge his presence.Amelia followed him closely behind but unfortunately she couldn't mirror her father's confidence because she knew she had more reasons to be worried.“Mr Dinkins,it is a pleasure you honored our invitation”.Pamela Harris said with a pleasant smile that eludes her eyes,the revelation had destabilized her system that she had to rush out in the middle of a pedicure.“Thank you”.Graham responded curtly disregarding her pleasant approach.He sat on the sofa opposite the Harris couple and Amelia sat beside him still burying her head staring intently at her swollen legs.Dickson Harris got the message clearly,his son had made a huge mistake,one that could destroy the co

Amelia was right,her misery began that day.The tension in the air grew by the moment when she alighted at the mansion.Even Drake was perplexed,he didn't know how to handle the consequence of his rash decision.“Congratulations brother.”Cole’s annoying enthusiasm cut through the air and Drake couldn't help but scoff.The sarcasm behind his friendliness towards him that day was enough evidence of his happiness at the expected misery hole he just got buried in.“Miss Dinkins….oh! My bad..Mrs Harris,”“Welcome to our family.”He greeted Amelia enthusiastically but she responded to him with a curt nod and forced smile, obviously reading through his deceitful personality.Prior to the wedding,she had done her research on the Harris brothers and parents to have a brief idea of what she was getting herself into.And from her research,she found out that she was definitely in for a fierce competition.They walked into the living room where Pamela Harris sat with her designer taking off the lay
