Kenzie shut her eyes tightly, trying to stem the tears that threatened to spill. A sudden realization washed over her - not once had Ezekiel ever referred to her as his wife or alluded to anything of the sort. Still, she clung to the hope that with a bit more time, her conversation with him would take root in his heart and he would come to see her in a different light."Let's go out to the nearby eatery for some ice cream," Ezekiel suggested. "But there's icecream in the freezer" she reminded."Oh darling, Let's take a light stroll," he said with the most reassuring smile he could muster at that moment. As Ezekiel spoke, Kenzie felt a weight lifted from her shoulders, and his efforts to alleviate her stress warmed her heart. A small smile tugged at her lips, and with renewed hope, she pushed her worries aside, confident that he would come to see her worth in due time. ******Elena opened her eyes early in the morning and quickly had her bath in preparat

Kenzie remembered her conversation with Ezekiel about his plans for her. If he had ever thought of marrying her even once before, it would be evident and he would not be so unsure as to such a matter. It seemed she had placed too much hope on him changing his mind."No, he could want to surprise me. After all, I don't think he sleeps around with other women so he must have thought of me in that light. I know he'll eventually come around" Kenzie clenched her fists under the soft rain of water from the shower nozzles.A knock came on the door of the living room while Kenzie was upstairs, checking out her dress. She rushed downstairs and it was the gate keeper informing her that someone came asking after her."Common let her in" she said to the gate keeper."Yes!" He moved swiftly to make way for Kenzie's friend.As soon as Leyla came down from her car, she smiled seeing Kenzie at the door of the tall building."What is this, a castle?" Leyla walked slowly towards Kenzie who did the same

Kenzie moved a bit further from everyone and sat down. The caterers moved to serve everyone with wine and different juices.Kenzie went for the wine when a man approached her."Can I seat with you?" He asked with a smile."Of course!" Kenzie agreed touching the round table.The man before her looked familiar, she remembered him as one of the two men that caught her attention earlier. ______________________________________A whirlwind of musings swirled within Kenzie, prompting her to indulge in another sip of her wine. "I beseech you, fair maiden, forgive my impatience. If you would grant me the pleasure of this dance, it would be a privilege," the gentleman spoke graciously, his voice a mellifluous symphony. "I couldn't help but notice the radiant smile that graced your countenance when you escorted Leyla to the podium earlier," he gently remarked."Um yes, you made me smile," she replied immediately but she felt shy for telling him straight up that he was the reason she was smiling

Kenzie thought that Leyla and Drey would be too exhausted to get out of bed even if they were awake but it seemed that Leyla already made breakfast. "Congratulations!" Kenzie greeted Drey as soon as she got to the dinning."Thank you Kenzie. Thanks for helping us through the past week, I am very grateful. I hope to repay the kind favour soon, " Drey expression full of mirth. "Awwww" Leyla commented."It's nothing Drey. I hope you guys are like this forever. I wish you guys a blissful marriage" "Awwwn, thanks buddy," Leyla rushed to kenzie and hugged her."It's okay, married woman," Kenzie said, trying to push her away. "Someone sounds jealous,"Ahem, it seems Ezekiel is back," Kenzie said looking at Leyla's direction."Woah, when?" "Just yesterday, I wlll be leaving this afternoon. You two need some space and I need some drillin…ahem nothing," she almost completed her statement.Leyla and Drey glanced at each other and pretended like they didn't know what she was trying to say.

Trisha looked at Elena and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Sorry for your loss," she was referring to the drink. "Damn it, let go of my drunk Bella. Trish only has one of those left" Elena pouted. "Not my concern, this is pay back" she smiled, sipping the drunk as she now turned over to face Elena's direction. "Payback doesn't affect me, haha" Trisha whispered to Elena. "Leave my drink alone and I'll help you get payback on Trisha" Elena smiled. "How? It's not so easy to get to that bitch, Even if it's you," Bella tried passing Trisha off but she didn't care. "Don't conclude m yet, you dummy" Elena glanced at Trisha and moved over to Bella. Bella shifted the drink away from Elena's reach. "Don't get too close" Trisha became curious and interested in whatever idea Elena had. "As long as I know of your plan, it won't work. Do you dare to let me hear it too?" Trisha said. "Of course, you have to know of the plan before it works," Elena answered. "Okay, now I'm curious" Bella st
