Lijie's car was already there shortly Akarui's car also pulled over to the side. "Is that Akarui's car?" Natasha leaned against the window. "Ohh my God..." She "Tell me that's not Akarui?" Fleur also pushed back. Akarui stood tall, shoulders back in he's blue Sherwani suit. He's hair was neatly combed giving he's face a clear dimpled smile he possessed. Not forgetting he's •duppata that matched he's shoes.He really looked like the guy next door. "This man should've been a worshipping Idol in he's previous life I swear," Fluer pointed looking at Cadeau.She was suddenly embarrassed about their last encounter

"The couple may now sit for the final orisons." the priest ordered. He chanted some words to them and instructed. "The groom may now tie the wedding chain and apply the vermilion."Natasha and fleur moved closer  presenting the salver with the chain and bow of vermilion.Akarui took the chain first and tied it around Cadeau's neck then applied vermilion on her forehead beneath the mandapatti, "Only you have the right to touch her to apply it and only in your absence will she apply it to herself as a symbol of your commitment," he told Akarui. He faced the audience with a smile and stated, "No one argues or fights with what the Almighty has said and chosen. And so with all the rights and duties implicated in me, I now officially declare you husband and wife,"At once all the lights went on, there was a drum beater, followed by outside fireworks and crackers that were let off,everybody trumped on the gazebo, pausing for hugs and

If they're all happy and still friends then I think we should forgive them," Mr Lï spoke."I also don't see any wrong with that." One of the guys said, and everybody started raising votes one by one.. "Alright, alright," Mrs Wang Lei intervened. "Just like Lijie has said, they hid it from us because they feared rejection. But now it's our duty as parents to support them. Therefore, my husband and I accept," she clapped twice and concluded, "guess let's all forget and get back to the party," and the music resumed. Mrs Lï glared at Cadeau and then said angrily to Lijie, "from now on don't bother coming home or calling me mom, the same way you got married without saying is the same way you should live your life." She grabbed her purse and stormed out of the place.Mr Lï congratulated them and teased Cadeau, "Immediately your honeymoon is over, am still your boss and I want you back in the office," he walked to Lijie."your mum will come around, wh

After staying in the bathroom crying and feeling much better Cadeau retouched her makeup and walked out the door. precipitously a girl of Cadeau's age in a baby pink soft evening gown stood in front of her with carriage and dignity of an iceberg. Her thin, sharp features never showing the slightest emotion.Cadeau fidgeted, "what do you want Ōjo." The girl looked down her nose at Cadeau."Look who we have here the one and only Barbie or should I call you Mrs Lijie?" She coldly spoke, not backing down.Cadeau looked on the side, avoiding any eye contact. She knew that old sarcasm way to much to be intimidated. The girls head thrust forward like a weapon. "Let me tell you something fake-princess," she inched forward. "In life they're people who'll always hate you, the way you breath, the way you talk, how you laugh, or even just so because it's you. And I happen to be those people." "So guess what, I was home sipping my wine

To Lijie and Cadeau (15)
-After a long moment of introductions and praises Cadeau was finally alone.She quickly walked past her mother pretending she didn't see her and went to look for Natasha. They never kept secrets from each other and so the least she thought Tasha deserved was to know what was happening. But Tasha was nowhere in sight, Cadeau turned every leaf then she saw Akarui talking to someone and an idea struck . However before she could tap him on the shoulders, she espied Akarui pulling he's father by the neck. She couldn't see Akarui's face but she could feel he's white knuckles from clenching he's fists too hard. "I've understood Dad," she heard Akarui root he's jaw. "And you better keep your word cause what I'll do to you will be suicidal I mean it," the anger in Akarui's tightened back showed no remorse like a cramp and quiet rage building inside. But it's like he sensed her cause immediately he relaxed and with a hoaxed smile he turned,

Jhene walked in with a prescription from the doctor and handed it to Natasha. "She's perfectly fine and has been discharged. But in case of any headaches or further nosebleed he has prescribed some medicines," she walked to the bedside and sat on the chair.  ""Guess it's just you and these lonely walls," Cadeau told herself and stood to leave at the same time Akarui walked through the door.The box in Akarui's hands immediately fell from fright like someone crushed in to him.He squinted he's eyes to the light coming through the staircase and couldn't believe he's eyes. He fidgeted, feeling at a loss of words. He looked at Cadeau and looked at the wall clock. It was five past the hour four in the morning. Had Cadeau been crying all this time, he wondered.Cadeau stood motionless.A normal person would have run but Akarui could hardly force himself to walk. He inched he's way to her, foot by foot, scared that she mi

*   *  *Cadeau opened her eyes and squinted in the sunshine coming through the blinds. She stretched, feeling more tired than she had since.She sat up and looked at the vase of freshly cut flowers placed near the window and smirked.So he had been to her room after all. She flipped the overs back and stood, She slipped her feet into the fluffy house shoes next to her bed, God knows who they belonged to, and snatched the robe on the chair.She stepped toward the window and slid it up, she sent the vase of flowers flying down and pressed back for the curtains then walked to the door and stepped out.It was four past eleven in the morning, she looked at the wall clock ticking.The sent of strong coffee and bacon hit her nostrils, but not enough for her disappeared appetite either way, she followed the trail stopping at apex of the stairs. Her stomach rolled remembering Akarui's fist in the dust. He must have been hurt sh

Akarui sat back and forth in he's office chair, eagerness crippled him as the time arrived for doctor Qiang to video call him. He stared at he's arm on he's Rolex wrist watch it was exactly twenty eight  minutes past the hour nine. Two more minutes he told himself. He never got nervous. But after sending the man a thousand emails explaining he's situation with Cadeau and her behavior starting from the night of the ceremony. He feared the worst.He'd read enough about him to know he was forty, two children, silent millionaire, and most of all, a  professional physiatrist and psychologist, with a diploma in therapy.He had hoped the doctor requested for a one on one meeting, but doctor Qiang insisted he video calls him for their first encounter.Akarui connected he's laptop and showed he's face, as the waved."Good morning doctor," he smiled, "Such an honor to be in your greatness,"" the pleasure is all m

*   *The following morning Akarui pulled out he's phone and typed a few messages. The piercing strength of the sun coming through the glass wall of he's office hit him like a fool he felt.He leaned back in he's chair, he's stomach tightening in anticipation of being late, throwing up the whole evening and above all, missing the early meeting with the investors.He had been folly enough to believe those energy drinks were anything good, but sleep in disguise. And to think that he had been taking them for a while made everything seem blur.He leaped forward and waited for a few seconds before reconnecting again to the server.Shortly, Amanda Lijie's supposedly wife appeared with a baby in her arms.He pressed for the loud speaker button as he spoke."How's the mother of the year and the little Champ doing?" he waved gawping.Even though Lijie had lied to him about the baby's delivery date, Akarui could

Five minutes Akarui walked back with the serving cart. He trotted to the closet and pulled out a bedsheet and spread it on the floor at the center of the room. He reached for the tray and offloaded,  the plates first, the soup, wine glasses already filled, and then the two bowls of vegetable rice and chicken kadai, her favorite. Just then, Cadeau came out with her robe and attitude tied up like she was going for jitsu classes. She approached Akarui and stopped right in front of the cloth, their gaze locked.She fell to her knees, and sulked. "Let's get this done over with," She pulled a pillow.Akarui's eyes fell to the length of her clivage the moist of her pale skin, the rise and fall of her tiny breasts as she breathed, he's just  mind ran wild. She grabbed the bowl of rice. She was too close, Akarui's heart was pounding too hard. This was a bad idea, he shouldn't have done this. He shrugged.Akarui took a deep breath and tr
