“Okay, I will Marry him.”
Lydia was extremely happy, when those words slipped through Mia’s lips, she never wanted her daughter to marry the illegitimate son of the Edward’s Family, but her Husband was so hell bent on fulfilling his promise to Edward family because he had his so-called prestige to keep.
And now that her daughter was so smart to come up with such a brilliant idea, she felt so satisfied. She didn’t mind her daughter getting pregnant for Mark, he was the eldest son of the Grey family which made him the heir to the Family Company, Her daughter will not suffer instead she would have a really bright future.
Instead of her daughter marrying that broke and jobless man, she preferred that her daughter gets pregnant for Greg.
She wanted so much for her daughter and this marriage had been the biggest obstacle to her daughter’s future.
Now that the obstacles were out of the picture, She felt so glad and happy that Mia had agreed to Marry the Illegitimate son of the Edward family, she always had it in mind that the two fitted perfectly, They were both outcast of both families.
………………..,,..,,,,,,,,,,
A few days later Mia arrived at a church, wearing a simple white dress.
She was getting married today.
She didn’t bother renting a wedding dress, because she didn’t want to pay for it. She had a lot of things to do with money.
She bought some white baby's-breath in the flower shop and asked the seller to give her a white ribbon to braid her hair making Mia look pure and innocent.
It was time for the wedding and the Groom and his Family were nowhere to be seen. The wedding venue was very empty; only a few people had arrived.
“Don’t worry, maybe he's stuck in the traffic. Let’s wait a little longer,” Frank comforted Mia.
Mia’s breathing faltered.
She had heard something about the man she was going to marry. His name was Darren Edward. The man didn’t have a decent job and was an idler who wasted his time hanging around with punks from the street all the time.
The thought of marrying someone like that made Mia’s stomach churn with anxiety but she had no choice. She had not even met the Groom or seen a picture of him, so it all made her slightly nervous.
“Why hasn't the Groom or his family arrived yet?” Lydia frowned and looked at the handful of people in church. She was dressed in a very beautiful purple colour dress. Her makeup accentuated her features.
It seemed like the Edward Family did not Value the Marriage. However Mia was unbothered. She only cared about finding her Family, and she knew this marriage was the only source that could give her such a huge amount to pay the investigator.
Mia leaned in and whispered to Lydia “I hope you keep to your side of this bargain by giving me the money after the wedding is over!”
She had promised her adoptive parents to trade her marriage for Money to find her family.
“We are family, why do you keep talking about money? We will give you the money as promised! So you better stop asking about it” Regardless of how Lydia tried to sound gentle, impatience was evident in her voice.
Meanwhile, Eva and Mark also Arrived.
She walked into the church in an Expensive outfit that was screaming luxury, while holding her boyfriend's hand.
She strutted towards her parents with a smug smile. She had stolen Mia’s wealthy boyfriend, leaving her to marry a worthless man, who was also an illegitimate son of the Edward’s family.
Mark's brows furrowed as he saw Mia in that wedding dress, because of his stupid desires he had lost his love. A ball of guilt settled in the pit of his stomach, He began to remember the sweet moments they had together.
It was all his fault. A moment of passion had ended his relationship with the love of his life. Mia was going to marry someone else, he felt so pained at the moment but could not show his Emotions and he knew it was too late now because Eva was expecting his child.
He didn’t intend to come to the wedding, but Eva practically dragged him to the church. However he couldn’t refuse after learning that Eva is pregnant with his child.
Mark's eyes have been fixed on Mia ever since they arrived at the church Eva couldn’t bear to see him admire the woman she despised so much.
Mia was always perfect and Nothing had changed even after all these years. Mia always managed to capture everyone's hearts with her charms, without even doing much.
Jealousy reared its ugly head, Eva grew furious and began yelling at Mark, “ believe it or not, I will blind your eyes if you don’t stop looking at her, what’s your problem? What’s so good about her?”
Then she turned and sneered “why Hasn’t the Groom arrived yet? The man is late for his own wedding. How could he be reliable? His family hasn’t even bothered to come either. It looks like they don’t even care about him.”
All eyes turned to face her.
Eva was a princess at home, so no one could blame her for saying those rude comments. However they were in a public place and she was the bride's sister.
Mia gently lifted her hemline and stepped forward. Mia had tolerated Eva regardless of how Arrogant and heartless she had been in the past.
However she couldn’t put up with her nonsense anymore. “Eva watch your tone, and mind your manners you are in a church now! Don’t you have basic manners?”
Eva was taken aback. She had never seen Mia like that, the woman had always been tolerant, no matter how hard she tried to start an argument with Mia, she would either leave or stay calm and receive the insults quietly. But after she caught her boyfriend having an affair, she completely changed from that moment.
Hearing that, the church fell silent and just then the gate creaked open.
A tall man stepped inside, the dazzling sunlight seemed to outline his slender frame.
As the church gate closed again, the man looked up. His deep eyes swept across the crowd, his lips pursed into a thin line. He buttoned up his suit and smoothed his coat as if he had come here in a hurry.
The sunlight flowed on his handsome face. It looked like God had put in all effort to create him. All eyes were on him, his charm had cast a spell on everyone in the church.
The man stood there like a Greek God, observing the scenario in front of him.
All eyes were on him, he seemed to exude an effortless charm. Eva’s eyes lit up, she guessed the handsome man, she guessed the handsome man would be somehow related to Darren. The Edward’s family were one of the most powerful families in the city. After all Darren was an illegitimate son. Eva felt that Darren would never be able to meet up with the nobles of the Edward’s family. The man before her looked so charming and regal so she thought he most certainly had a connection to the Edward’s family, he might even be the legal heir of the family. She totally forgot about the man she came to the wedding with, immediately she sets her eyes on Darren. His good looks and charms both excited her and surprised her. She thought Mark was a handsome man but compared with the man in front of her, Mark undeniably became the button of the barrel type. Eva walked forward and greeted the man “ Are you Darren’s brother or relative?” Merely looking him in the eyes, made her blush. She felt, if s
Seeing the frown on Mia’s face, Darren followed her gaze and saw his watch. Moments later he realised what she was thinking. “ this is a fake, I got it from a friend” he whispered beside her ears “but I usually wear it to look cool , I didn’t expect you would notice it”Darren removed the watch and put it inside his pocket. “It looks real tho” Mia smiled and stepped back covering her flaming ears. Darren was leaning closer and she could feel his breath blowing in her ear as he spoke. As Mia thought about it she realised it’s normal for Darren to have a street friend who sells fake things. She breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment Mia had freaked out, thinking Darren had done something illegal to make money. She knew nothing about the man she was getting married to, except he was a poor man who was jobless. Darren knitted his brows. He had heard the daughter of the Thompson family had several boyfriends and hung out with different men all the time. The girl before him shyness s
“You better take your bath first, I can wait” Mia subconsciously took some steps back as if trying to protect herself from an enemy. She looked like a trapped little bird, struggling hard to hide her panic. Darren stood upright and looked at Janet She looked like a deer caught in a headlight. Darren looked at her and chuckled “don’t be a nervous kitten, I won’t eat you also I need to discuss something with you.” Mia crossed her hands over her chest and hesitantly walked over to him, she didn’t want to be associated with this man in any way. Everything was happening too fast, she was married to a man she just met at the wedding. She wondered what would be of her now that she was married? she didn’t know anything about marriage, she never had a Mother or Father that would teach her those aspects. These were the reasons she needed to find her family, she always wanted a parental relationship but she got none.She was determined to find her parents and she always prayed deep down th
Mia was startled, “if I’m not Eva Thompson who else can I be? It’s such a lame question” she said jokingly Mia had married Darren as Eva Thompson, if she messed up the plan Lydia would not give her the money she needed to pay the private investigator who would help her look for her parents. So she had to pretend to be her little sister Eva, once she got the money from the Thompson she would still keep her end of the deal because on No situation could Darren ever find out she’s not Eva but the adoptive daughter. Darren still had a frown placed on his face. The situation looked confusing. He wondered if Mia could be pretending to be nice at first and later show her true colours, but he also knew when a person was pretending to be nice and he most definitely knew Mia was not pretending but he knew something was not right here also. “It was a casual question, just forget about it.” Darren picked up his suit jacket and stepped back “I have finished saying what I want to say. Do you have
It was rare for Mia to have a pleasant dream lately. In this particular one, she found her parents, though she could not see the faces clearly but she had this family feeling with them. They went home together and life seemed all bright and peaceful. However, the blaring sound of the ringtone interrupted her dream. Mia sat up on the bed and stared at the strange environment in a daze. It took a while for her to finally remember she was married, she couldn’t adapt to the change yet. As soon as she opened the door of the bedroom, her gaze fell on Darren curling up on the sofa, hugging a pillow. The sofa was too small for his huge body. His legs were dangling out, and a grey blanket was wrapped around him. The sunlight cast a glow on his flawless features, making him look like a Greek God. Mia was glad to know that Darren didn’t make a move on her last night, so she relaxed her guard around him. Mia smiled to herself and walked into the kitchen. There were eggs, bacon and bread in t
The taxi stopped outside the Thompson family’s villa. Mia hurried out and rang the doorbell. Now that she was married to Darren as promised, she decided to ask her adoptive parents for the money they had promised her, After all she did all this so she could find her real parents. Lydia was sitting in the parlour sipping a glass of juice. She looked up at Mia and smiled faintly, “how are you getting along with Darren? You just got married yesterday. So what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at your new house? Or hold up, Did something happen? Tell me now!” She didn’t utter the word of money and acted like they didn’t talk about money, which pissed Mia off. Mia looked at her sternly, “I’m here to get the money, that you promised me that you would give me the money as soon as I marry Darren.” Lydia placed the glass of juice on the table. She didn’t plan on giving Mia the money. It was a tactic to persuade Mia. Mia and Darren are married now. Mia wouldn’t even be Anne to do anyt
“Something came up, that’s why I’m late,” Darren stood outside the door exuding a powerful aura, making it impossible for Mia to step forward. “Why are you here? I want to go back so just get out of my way.” Mia said broken with anger and sadness. Seeing her red teary eyes, Darren looked at everyone in the living room. Then he gently grasped her wrist. “There’s no hurry.” He took Mia back into the living room. James put the bags on the table and opened them one after the other. After displaying everything on the table, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and retreated behind Darren. James was tired of exerting all his physical strength to do his job. Mia’s eyes widened in shock when she looked at all the expensive gifts. Expensive jewelry, watch,wine and other rare antiques dazzled under the light’s. She wondered if these gifts were also knock offs, like Darren’s expensive watch and suit he had gotten from his friend. Although the Thompson family wasn’t the most powerful fam
“Darren, you must have misunderstood things here, " I scolded my daughter in a fit of anger. It doesn’t mean anything,” Lydia flashed a sweet smile, her eyes still fixed on the expensive gift placed on the table. “I don’t want to hear any explanation.” Darren looked at them indifferently. He was in no mood to listen to their stupid justification. Seeing that, James ran over and quickly packed everything and took the bags away. Darren didn’t say anything more. He held Mia’s hand and left Thomason's family villa. Lydia and Eva could not do anything but watch as the couple left them in the dust. Darren finally let go of Mia’s hand when they got outside. His face softened as he looked at her. “Why didn’t you tell me that you were going to see your parents?”Mia wanted to ask her adoptive parents for the money they had promised her, so she couldn’t take Darren with her. “I didn’t plan on visiting them in the first place” she lied. “ I happened to take this route, so I decided to drop
