“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.
“You’re just so impossible, how can you get jealous so easily?” Suddenly Mia’s face turned red, she lowered her gaze unable to look at Darren’s face. She tried to push him away and pleaded, “please step back, you are too close.” She was trapped, being pressed by Darren’s body and the kitchen sink behind her. “I have a question!” Darren’s deep voice came from above her head, his breath rusty her hair slightly. Clenching his fist, the man cleared his throat and asked in a gruff voice. “Between me and him, who has a better figure?” Immediately as the words left Darren’s lips he felt incredibly embarrassed. He knew it was a stupid question, but he just wanted to hear Mia praise him to his face. Standing there and thinking for a long time, Mia stole a glance from the corner of her eyes. For a second, it seemed that broad figure matched that of the man in the elevator. “ Actually, you have similar builds.” Darren frowned, with pursed lips he said “ we can’t exactly be the same!” “
Mia got back home, and found the apartment empty. Hours ticked by and yet there was still no sign of Darren. Finally at eleven, Mia heard the sound of the door unlocking, she walked to the door subconsciously. When the door swung open, she met Darren’s gaze. The man looked exhausted, he put away the key and said curiously. “I thought you were exhausted from working overtime. Why aren’t you in bed yet?” “I got to take things easy today, anyways I cooked fish and sour sauce. Have you had dinner yet?” She should have been in bed by now. For some unknown reasons though, Mia had decided to wait for him or maybe the excitement of what she wanted to say to him. After a moments of silence, she asked hesitantly, “why are you so late today?” She had been working overtime, these past few days, so she was out of the apartment early and back late at night. She hasn’t seen Darren in almost three days.“Fish with sweet and sour sauce? That’s great, I haven’t eaten dinner yet.” Darren shrugge
The following Monday, Mia showed up at the office with dark circles around her eyes. “Did you spend the weekend in prison? You look terrible!” Brenda commented as she pulled out her chair and sat down, munching on a hot dog. “The cooperation project I am hardling is moving so fast, I needed to work overtime for two consecutive days,” Mia drawled and yawned. She was so tired that she felt she would doze off the next second. “Were you able to finish?” Leaning on her table, Mia nodded weakly. “It was finished this morning.” As the two of them chatted idly, Tiffany’s voice rang out from behind them. “Thompson, please see me in my office.” In a daze, Mia raised her head. Brenda shot her a sympathetic look then stuck out her tongue like a little child. “Sounds like you will need to review your drawings, good luck!” Barely holding herself together, Mia trudges into Tiffany’s office. “You look exhausted. I never thought anyone here would work harder than me” Tiffany sipped her coffee.
In a daze, Mia trudged back to her desk. “Brenda, Mr. Micheal wouldn’t make a huge fuss out of us employees, would he?” Mia whispered to her colleague, her voice riddled with anxiety. “Nahhh, I don’t think so. After all a boss should be be open minded. But maybe his capable of making mountains out of molehills. Who knows I can’t read minds” Brenda’s cryptic answers only served to make Mia even more uneasy. What if she had offended Micheal? The next day, when Mia rushed to work, she ran into Micheal at the gate of the company. Eyes darting around nervously, she managed to pluck up the courage to approach him anf apologize “Mr Micheal, excuse me. About what happened yesterday……” But before she could finish her sentence, when Micheal saw her approaching, he immediately turned around and rushed back inside the car. He shouted at the driver anxiously, “go get me out of here, hurry!” Mia’s steps faltered as she watched the car zoom off. She was speechless.When she sat down at her d
“What?” Micheal was scared out of his wits. His hands trembled and the teacup fell to the floor. He sprang up from the sofa and peeked out of the room to see if Darren was outside. Then, he looked at Mia and shook his head vehemently, “no I absolutely donot have a crush on you. Don’t talk rubbish, I did everything for the company and Mr Preston”. “Well…… Mr Micheal it was just casual question, I…….” Starled by his reaction, Mia quickly stood up too, “ are you okay Mr Micheal?” I’m fine don’t come near me, stay away from me. Although only the two of us are here in this room, there’s a third party watching us.” With that he opened the door and stormed out of the room. He didn’t dare to stay in the same room with Mia anymore. Micheal completely forget that this was his own room. Mia frowned, her eyes still fixed on the door, dumbfounded by his reaction. She had thought about it a lot and didn’t expect Micheal to react this way. Even if her guess was wrong, he could have at least
The next day, as soon as Mia walked into the company, Tiffany called her into the office. Mia swallowed nervously, she couldn’t tell if Tiffany believed what Eva had said yesterday. “Lind, your design was approved by the brown company. Go ahead and prepare for the project with them.” Tiffany spoke briskly, not even glancing up at Mia when she entered the office. “What? But they rejected and criticized my work yesterday. How could they change their mind overnight?” Mia’s jaw nearly dropped to the ground. Plus, what with the arrogant way Eva acted yesterday. Mia was under the impression that Tiffany had called inside her office to fire her. “Why are you so surprised? They’re not blind, anyone could see your design was way better than the second proposal. It’s obvious that the representative from the brown company didn’t know what they were talking about and only rejected your designs because she holds grudge against you. Anyways Mr Micheal contacted their chairman and now, Their CE
