“Clay honey tell me what you said was a joke?” “What are you doing here? Who told you about this?” I asked her angrily, “and what the hell are you wearing.” “I know about your grandmother’s fatal accident and death I am sorry.” “Girl who died?” Grandmother says angrily, I didn’t know if it was because she hated Hailee or because she hated being seen as a grave, but her voice had almost reminded me of all that scolding I got when I was a kid. “Oh... you are alive,” she said in shock, but the disappointment was certainly there in her voice, “I am happy grandmother is okay.” “You, follow me” I shout at Hailee, as I leave, I sense a bit of disappointment in Kaleah, she avoids my eyes. I halt in front of her before giving her a kiss on the forehead, let us make the right choices like father said, never give your wife a reason to feel jealous or inferior. Kaleah’s cute eyes with the gesture makes me happy, she seems to be the beautiful light at the murky world I have basked myself in.

[Kaleah POV] “Good morning welcome to Bistro Bazaar, table for two?” A short, sweet lady welcomes us as we step inside the restaurant. “Yes, please,” Clayton replies, before we are shown to our table. As always for Beckets we get the exclusive table, I don’t complain anymore, Cyan didn’t go to expensive tables since I had always complained about money, when I sold paintings, all my money went to my father’s account, wait, I never even saw the money I got from my paintings, what did that man do with my money? “Are you okay?” “Oh…” Clayton brings me back to reality, but I now feel dazed. I had let my father keep all the money for all my paintings from when I was still a child, mother never saw this money as well, nor did he even use the money on anything as we still lived in a rundown apartment and had trouble paying for mother’s medical fees when she was pregnant. “It is nothing just reminiscing of the past,” I say, not entirely a lie. “Penny for your thoughts?” “It is just s

[Kaleah POV] I cannot understand why that man came back to my life, just a few weeks ago he snorted at my very existence and now he claims to love and care for us. ‘Knock-knock-knock’ “Who is it?” I shout softly, the Becketts must be really tired of my problems by now. “Your fiancé,” “Oh…” wait Clayton visiting my room? Why, “come in,” I say with a low tone. After father left last time, I stormed to my room and locked it. I cried my eyes out the whole night, Cyan took care of Zoey for me. “Hey…” he said softly, walking in. “Hi.” “Are you okay?” wow he came to my room this early to ask if I was, okay? “I am fine Clayton I was just overwhelmed last night that is all. You are getting ready for work?” I ask, he was dressed in his usual formal attire. “Not really, there is an urgent matter you and I have to sort out.” I can feel my mouth dry up, oh what, is he cancelling the marriage? Of course, this is the only way to clear his dirtied reputation. “Oh…” “This might be a bit

[Third person POV] Hailee had been pacing since she saw the news of Clayton getting married, it was unheard of, they said they would marry in a month. “Love I think it is time you give up, she is his wife now and you cannot do anything to her.” her father says, but Hailee’s reaction altogether made him nervous. “Are you insane, the is always divorce okay, ugh…..., I will have to crash that gathering they have tomorrow, then I would deal with her decisively.” Though she was warned enough times, for some reason she still felt like Clayton was still in love with her, thus she didn’t believe his retaliation would be that extreme. [Kaleah POV] Again, I have locked myself in the room after that embarrassing fall, I think I should stay here for a while. It seems to be busy outside since I woke up, it has been noisy. “Unlock this door Leah, we need to get your dress ready,” I hear Cyan outside the door, “open this door or I will talk to insane Conan to knock this door down.” I sigh be

[Clayton POV] I cannot believe this witch is testing me yet again, how dare she do this, but before they could even say a thing Joshua the best lawyer and friend had already nip it in the butt. “Seems no one objects you may continue father,” the priest seems to not want to continue with the wedding, ugh, must be someone Hailee hired. “Listen here fool, if you do not continue with this ceremony this will be the last ceremony you do, I can promise you that.” I warned him. Kaleah’s hands had gotten sweaty with anxiety, and I could feel how she was now second guessing this, ugh, I sure need to clean out those roaches, they seem to not know how devious I could be. “Um… if he doesn’t…...” “Oh, he will officiate the wedding Leah, don’t stress yourself.” I reassure her, glaring at the dumb priest. He sighs before continuing with the ceremony, Kaleah seems to have a lot on her mind, she keeps looking around the guest and not me, it makes me a bit jealous and mad. When the dumb priest f
