“ I'm sorry Miss but you can't go in there. Mr. Wilson is having a very important meeting” The maid called out as a silhouette walked past ignoring her completely with a straight face.Layla Jones was very upset about the news she heard this morning. Her stepmom had told her she was getting married to Damian Wilson in a few days and although Layla did not have a boyfriend she was not ready to get married at nineteen.Damian is the only son of her late dad’s friend Mr. Wilson. Layla has known Damian since she was a kid, Damian was older than her by six years and back then anytime Layla came around to play with Kendra, Damian’s sister, He usually hides in his room because of his body. Most kids in his school back then do call him “ fatty” Damian was a plus size back then and was always ashamed to associate with others but it all came to a halt when he traveled abroad to further his education. Damian came back looking like a hot celebrity and his physical features were like that of a mo

“ Go upstairs and pack your belongings, we don't have much time left,” Her stepmom said not sparing her daughter a glance.“What's going on Mom,” Layla asked with tear-filled eyes, she didn't know where they were going.“ My dear, our company, or better still your late father's company which will soon be yours in a couple of days is bankrupt and we tried to ask the Wilsons to help us again. Mr. Wilson agreed to help us out but gave a condition before his death that you marry his only son, Damian, at first the Wilson had no problem with this arrangement but Karen called me this afternoon to cancel the plans, I don't know why she said that but we do not have much time. Go get your things, we are leaving” Isabella replied, and Layla was lost but grateful that Damian had not told Isabella what transpired earlier today.“ If the company has been going through some challenges why didn't I know before now,” Layla askedIsabella walked close to her and held her hands “ Layla darling, You have

“ How dare you, Damian!!, how dare you go back on our agreement?” A churlish voice yelled immediately after he picked up the call.Damian rolled his eyes and wiped the sweat on his forehead off. Ava’s dad, Mr Grey was the last person he wanted to talk to today.He summoned courage and replied,“ Mr. Grey?, how may I be of help to you” Damian was trying to divert from the topic and it got Mr Grey irritated.“ Don’t you dare play games with me Damian, you know exactly what I am talking about little boy.Why did you go back on our agreement” Mr Grey asked and Damian could sense the anger in his voice.“ I did not go back on my word Mr. Grey. We had an agreement. I kept my word on my part, you and your daughter didn’t keep yours.” Damian replied, trying his best to sound confident.On the other end of the phone was an angry man pacing to and fro in his study.He was furious and had worry lines All over his face.“ Don’t test me you little brat.You will regret this Damian” he threatened.

I WILL SEND YOUR MOM OVER.“ Is anything the matter? Don't you want to see your mom?” Karen asked worriedly since Layla didn’t show any excitement.Layla lowered her head and asked, “ Is Damian downstairs too?”“ Yes sweetheart, he is here with Kelvin, his best friend,” Karen answered.“ He said we shouldn’t cross paths until we met at the altar” Layla explained her fears to Karen.She didn’t see anything wrong with telling Karen. She was like a mother to her and she was also soft-hearted.Karen became upset instantly. Damian was crossing the line and she didn’t like it at all. It felt like emotional abuse.She squinted and asked,“ Damian said that?”“ yes”, Layla answered not knowing if it was the right thing to do.Karen exhaled and said,“ Alright, I will get rid of him, or better still, let me send your mom over” Since she wasn’t allowed to see Damian before the wedding it was perfect to send Isabella upstairs to her.“ Thank you, Aunt Karen,” Layla smiled and said.“ It's fine La

Layla was shocked to see Damian standing behind her.She was not expecting him to since Kendra told her he won’t be coming back home.Trying not to look suspicious, she tried to answer him even though she was finding it hard to put her words together.“ Nowhere. I couldn’t sleep and wanted fresh air.” She lay with her head lowered to the ground.Damian didn’t think she was up to anything bad but then, his eyes caught something and immediately, he grew suspicious.‘ Why will she be all dressed up and wearing trainers if it was just for fresh air“ You could have stood at your balcony if that was the case” his tone was impassive and his voice lowered. He didn’t want to draw the attention of his mom and sister.Layla was relieved that he believed her but she felt bad because her plans were ruined.“ I’m sorry. You know this is not my house and I was only going to take a stroll in the garden” she explained.Within a few days, she had turned into a liar and if only Damian hadn’t put her in
