Patricia and her son Justin had paid them a surprise visit.Patricia Smith is Karen’s childhood friend and Kendra’s Godmother. She and her son Justin, who is also Layla’s classmate from college, came to visit and help Karen out with the wedding preparations Immediately Karen told her Damian was getting married.Damian was chatting with his favorite aunt Patricia while Karen hugged her Godson Justin affectionately. Damian got jealous.“ Didn’t you see me?” He asked, annoyed. He was hoping his mom would hug him first but rather, Justin got all the attention.“ Did we not wake up in the same house? and didn’t you just walk past me a few minutes ago” Karen asked jokingly and turned back to Justin, she hugged him again and asked,“ Why didn’t you call to inform me you were coming? I would have prepared something special for you”Justin, who had grown so mature and looked so handsome, was beaming with smiles. “ How can I miss my brother’s wedding”“ I’m not your brother,” Damian growled. Da

“ Wait!!” Kelvin said and the congregation started murmuring.“Is everything alright, Mr Kelvin?” The priest asked and turned his attention to Kelvin who interrupted him.“ Do you mind, the groom has a few words for the bride,” Kelvin said in a polite but deep commanding tone before moving close to Damian and whispering something in his ears. Damian flashed a light smile on his face and looked at the priest.It was unexpected but the priest understood.“ The groom has special words for his bride” the priest announced.Astonished murmurs were heard with great expectation. Damian raised Layla’s hand and her lowered head was lifted instantly, meeting his dark blue gaze while he said,“ Layla Jones, you have no idea how much happiness you have brought me. You came into my life and filled it with so much happiness, you have not only been a blessing to me but even to my Mom and sister. I may not be the man your heart desires but I promise to be the man you want.You are God's perfect gift

Layla was chatting with Kendra when she saw a familiar figure. Kendra was facing her and hadn’t seen the person so when Layla excused herself, she didn’t suspect anything.Layla signaled to Ava and walked away after telling Damian she wanted to make use of the restroom. Damian looked at Ava and noticed her attention was not toward Layla so he allowed her to go.Layla walked away to the restroom and didn’t stop, a few minutes later, Ava left her table with her clutch and followed Layla. No one saw them walking together and no one suspected they were going to meet somewhere.When Ava got close to the restroom, she noticed a few people around and she spotted Kendra talking to a handsome fellow. She quickly dragged Layla out of the restroom to a fountain situated at the back of the hall where the reception was taking place.From the hedges decorated with lights, they weren’t easily seen. Layla walked fast and in a short while, the two ladies were standing in front of a black Mercedes Be

Damian led his mother to a less crowded area and said seriously, “It’s revengeMom” Karen was baffled, above all her imaginations, revenge was not one among them, but then, certain things did not just make sense to her, “ How are Justin and Kendra connected to this?”Damian did not want his mom to know about what Justin did to Kendra but there was no way he could bypass or outsmart his mom on this so he decided to tell his mom the truth, “ Justin and Kendra dated some time ago and Justin broke Kendra’s heart, since then I’ve always held a grudge against him. Today he was asking me to let go of Layla because she didn’t love me, which I refused to and challenged him to a bet, "he explained.Susan was distressed after the understanding sank in. No wonder Kendra always hid and brought up excuses anytime Justin came over to the house. “ I hope you are not going to hurt Layla. Maybe I should cancel my trip and move in with both of you. I have to protect Layla” She couldn’t annul the marr

“ Why did you marry me?” Layla looked him in the eyes and asked. “ You will find out another day but not now. Do you have any other questions?” He asked herLayla couldn’t accept the sudden changes in him.“ Why are you being nice and sweet all of a sudden?” Damian inched closer to her so that she could feel his breath, “ Because you are my wife, and only my wife deserves my sweetness”. Layla was so flattered that she couldn’t hold back the smile on her face. Suddenly she regained herself. Perhaps, Damian was just pretending. What if he was just doing it to get into her pants? No way. She’d rather die than let him have his way.“ Let’s go”, he instructed the driver. As much as Layla hated it, everything he said kept playing in her mind, and even as the car moved, she could feel her past being left behind.“ We shall rest in a hotel tonight and tomorrow we will go to our honeymoon venue,” Damian said in a deep sensual tone.Layla shivered and the realization was swallowing her gr
