Lahat ng Kabanata ng Groom For The Day: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Heart thumping and badly shaken, Tanya’s hand shook violently as she tried to unbuckle her seatbelt.“Oh my God. Are you okay?”His voice sounded like it was coming from a far distance.Tanya could not trust herself to speak as she jerkily pulled at the seatbelt.Why was nothing working?!“Here,” she felt him brush her hand aside as he unbuckled it for her.She hurriedly opened the door and her legs almost folded under her as she stepped out into the cool air and the sound of distant traffic.A car whizzed by just as she stepped out, and its headlights shone on the electricity pole just a few inches from the front of the car.“What if he hadn’t managed to stop the car?”Tanya’s weakened legs couldn’t carry her as she thought of how horribly they could have met their end.She sank to the floor in a crouch, lay her head on her knees and wrapped her arms around herself.She could have died again tonight. She had gone all her life barely having any near-to-death scare and now she had alm

The man sat in a darkened room with a land phone to his ear.His eyes were fixed on Ayo and Tanya’s video even as he nodded.In a chilling tone, he asked the person on the phone.“Are you sure?”He waited for an answer from the other end and said, “No mistakes this time.” He disconnected the call, placed the phone on its holder, and reached for the smouldering cigar above the ashtray.The cigar glowed in the dark as he puffed on it.The hand he had to his side was raised swiftly and a silent pinging sound echoed in the room as he shot the target on the other side of the study.Pinned to the target was the face of Mr Tomori.“Fucking bastard,” he said, then emptied five more bullets into the electronic target.***********The next few weeks after Ayo’s live video was filled with lots of activities for the couple.Most brands who had shunned Tanya because of the scandal began to call back and many new ones started to send her offer upon offer too.Not only was she back on the chart as

“What?”“What?”“Why would Martinez hit his girlfriend for…?”Tanya gaped in shock as she saw Susan remove her hand from her face.The imprint of Martinez’s hand on her face was clear for all to see.“Mart…”“Don’t you dare talk to Tanya like that! You are nothing compared to her, you hear me?! This is between me and her. Go away!”What?Tanya was as surprised as the whisperers around them exclaiming in shock while taking videos.Martinez ignored Susan’s teary face and tried to hold Tanya’s hand again. Tanya didn’t hesitate to smack his hand away.Despite that, he desperately said “It is you I love, Tan. I am so sorry. It was this bitch. She seduced me and I let her confuse me for a moment. I am back for you now, baby. We can go back to…”“Are you not ashamed of saying that shit to another man’s wife?” Tanya was so relieved by Ayo’s voice that she smiled automatically.He hit Martinez out of the way with his shoulder as he came to put his arm around Tanya, “I am sorry that you can’t e

She stood up while still holding his hand and placed the wine glass on the table. “You are right. We should get some sleep. Also, Ruffs is right. You should get an assistant. You would be surprised at how much an assistant could save a day. You have a one-month shoot with Laureve and trust me when I say it can be draining.”“Ughh,” he said with a mock shudder. “Now, I am getting a bit scared. Do you think I can still unsign that contract now?”“Yeah, just be ready to pay a lot for the damages,” she said simply as they got into bed.“Hey, what damages? I could say I backed out based on health issues. That is a valid reason.”“You look healthy as a horse to me and Laureve knows it too,” she sighed as she laid her head on his chest. “You are going to be fine. I can ask Meg to help you interview some assistants before we leave tomorrow.”“No, no, she has enough to handle already, with your travels and everything. Between me and Ruffs, we will handle it. Just take good care of yourself on

Nancy saw that she had caught her attention and quickly added, “That is the only explanation for this, my queen, and as a mother, I made sure I didn’t sit about it too. Once I knew, I started praying and even asked many priests to pray too. You won’t believe how much I had to spend on it. But it is the sacrifice of love that I did not just for my son but also for the princess as well. For our long-lasting union, you know. Have you heard that my son has already left that shameless girl? It was because of my efforts, my queen. The moment my son’s eyes opened like this, he left her immediately.”“Hmmm,” Charlotte said in thought as she nodded to herself.Nancy gave her a sly look, then she made her voice pitiful as she said, “Now, he finally realised the damage he had caused, but as you can see, the princess wouldn’t accept him back. He had been thinking so much now that it had affected his career. He could barely eat or drink. He has even cancelled many of the shows that should fetch mon
