Minutes passed by and the groom was nowhere to be found.Lois covered her face in shame and cursed inwardly.‘Rieka isn’t a lucky child. Just imagine the dignitaries present at this wedding and yet the groom is not present.’‘Could it be someone is trying to humiliate my daughter?”The guests were tired and a voice rang out coldly.“Is this a scene in a movie?”Soon whispers filled the air.“We’ve been waiting for long, let’s just leave.”“The groom must have eloped.”Only the soldiers present in the hall remained calm.Just ten, they heard a blaring siren approaching.Soon, silence filled the air again.Tears were already welling in Rieka’s eyes. She bowed her head slightly in shame.A man cladded in his soldier uniform with many stars on it approached the podium and whispered to the clergyman.The man was the Grand Commander.At this point, the Grand Commander held the microphone, and happily, he said.“Today, we have two celebrations. Permit me to welcome the new Chief of Army Staf

Noah smiled, “Sincerely, she owns a dear place in my heart.” With a serious expression, Noah asked. “Do you think getting hitched with her again is a good idea?”Andy nodded. “Of course, she’s the only woman you’ve ever loved.”“Okay! Let’s have a quiet walk then.”Meanwhile, at the Fullams’ residence.“Can’t you talk sense to your daughter? Is this how she wants to end her life?”Lois uttered coldly as she looked at Jack.Jack tilted his head.“It is her life; her choice and I cannot influence her decision because you want me to.”Lois widened her lips and asked. “Are you serious?”Coldly, Rieka said. “Mom, I have a lot to deal with. What is all this about?”“If you wait from now till infinity, Noah will not welcome you into his life. Beauty fades, you have to give another man a chance. I’ve spoken to some rich folks and they all agreed to get married to you not minding that you are a divorcee.”After saying that, Lois angrily left.Rieka stared at the space. Thoughts of Noah grippe

“What?”Santos expressed and gave a mocking laugh. “Who do you think you are?”Just then, he pulled out a gun and pointed it at Noah.Andy and Giddy also pulled out their guns and pointed at Santos.“I have nothing against you. I can see your greed and selfish interest is what is making you want the position of the Chief of Army staff at all cost.”Slowly, Noah approached Santos.“One more step and I’ll pull the trigger.” Santos roared.Noah sighed and he took another step. Bang!Santos pulled the trigger.Swiftly, Noah dodged it.Thank goodness no one was standing behind him.“All that happened here has been recorded. It would be used against you. You are not even worthy to be called a soldier.”Noah uttered with a frown.“Against me? We’ll see about that.”Santos said confidently.“No matter what, being soldiers, we are one,” Noah said as his eyes scanned through everyone present. For no just cause, Santos Junek wants to get rid of me. From his action, you all can see that he is n

At that moment, Santos picked up his phone and placed a call.“Hi Santos, is anything the matter? You hardly call me.”“Jacob, I can see you know me well. We need to meet tonight, it's urgent.”Jacob was a high-ranked soldier and he was a member of the military council.All along, Jacob has been the one giving information to Santos about all that was happening because Santos handsomely rewarded him. Jacob was also a close friend of the former Chief of Army Staff.Now, he felt something was happening and he couldn’t figure it out. He had to hear from Jacob.Nevertheless, Jacob had assured him that he would become the next Chief of Army staff.Meanwhile, at the Supreme Ruler’s residence in the military base.Noah, Andy, and Giddy were standing.Noah rubbed his forehead and said, “This is more complicated than I had imagined. I don’t want to get rid of anyone but I can’t help but defend myself.”“I have a suggestion.” Giddy paused. Then he continued, “Let us visit Santos. Not to harm him

Noah glanced at the Grand Commander. The news about who will become the next Chief of Army was yet to be announced publicly.“I have an urgent assignment to do here and it has to be kept a secret. Apart from all of us here, who witnessed my arrival, no one must know that I have returned.”Noah was led to a large room. It was the Supreme Ruler’s room in Fristico.Ever since Noah left, no one had dwelled in the room. However, the maids always kept it tidied daily.Noah freshened up and sat on the couch as he stared at the space.Knock, Knock, Knock.Some knocked on the door.Noah had already made it clear that he wanted to be left alone till he said otherwise.Who then was knocking on the door?With a frown, Noah went to open the door.Noah welcomed a man and a woman in.“You, so you had plans of coming too. Why didn’t you just say it? Did you have to make it a surprise?”Noah said with a smile beaming on his face.“I had to come along with her. We can’t just leave you. You need us mor

“Santos Junek?” Lois replied with a smile.“I have never heard of that name before. Why will he take interest in me without approaching me for once?” Rieka said with an arched brow.Lois sighed, “It’s possible you’ve not been paying attention to other men because of Noah. He gave me his card so anytime you are ready to see him, it is just a call away. I also heard he is a military man. From the convoy I saw accompanying him, I can confidently say he is far richer than Noah. Getting hitched with him will make Noah regret ever treating you in this manner.”“Hmm!” Rieka reasoned with what Lois said. A thought of revenge crept into her heart.Why was Rieka having such thoughts? Having a relationship with someone wasn’t by force.“Give me his card, I’ll call him. I want to get some information from him.”Rieka asked politely.Lois picked a card that was on the table and handed it to Rieka.So fast, Rieka picked up her phone and called the number which was on the card.“Hi, It’s Rieka. My

At the Carl's residence.Jacelyn was sleeping on a couch while some family members gathered around her.Just then Francis, who had changed into his son-in-law's identity, returned home.“Francis, where on earth have you been?” Clara questioned.“I went in search of Jacelyn but couldn't find her.” Francis uttered.“Of course, you won't find her. You are just useless.” Clara screamed.“Let me go! Let me go!”Jacelyn screamed as she jolted back to consciousness.“You are home now,” Paul uttered calmly.Slowly, Jacelyn opened her eyes. Her mother had given her some medication to relieve her of stress.“What happened? I remembered Justin closed my nose with a towel which made me pass out. How did I escape his evil plan?” Jacelyn spoke softly.Raymond went on to tell her everything that happened at the ceremony and who brought her home.“What do you mean by the couple, Grandma Kimberly and Justin are dead?” Jacelyn asked, managing to sit up.“He is right. The Crimson Dragon saved you. How d

Inside a room at Elite Event centre.Justin came out of the rest room, holding a towel which he had soaked in a cleaning agent. “Let me go, I don't want to have anything to do with you?” Jacelyn said with a shaky voice.Justin giggled, “Are you sure about that? I want to make you feel like a woman. Your brother told me you and your husband haven't done the needful as husband and wife. You should be grateful to me.”“Somebody help!” Jacelyn screamed at the top of her voice but no one could hear her because the room was soundproof.“Not even your husband can save you from me. Keeping wasting your time.” Justin uttered.He forcefully covered Jacelyn mouth with the towel, the choking smell made her dizzy; then she fainted.“You'll remain here and when I am done with your husband, I'll enjoy you to the fullest.” Justin uttered as he pulled her dress off, exposing just her undies.He went on to tie her hands to the bed.All this while, Justin didn't know about the death of his loved ones.

The next day. Raymond pouted. “Jacelyn, hurry up. We are running late,” Raymond said, as he adjusted his tie. “I don't want us to sit at the back.” “I'm ready.” Jacelyn said, walking out of her room dressed in a white gown. “The Kimberlys’ are celebrating a wedding and a birthday today. I hope to connect with those who can invest in Carlton.” Jacelyn said to Francis who was coming out of the kitchen. “Enjoy yourself and stay safe, Jace.” Francis smiled. “Yeah, I will.” After they left, Francis also left the house. Wedding bells are ringing! The Kimberlys were all seated in a hall located at Elite Event centre. Sharon Kimberly was getting married to the son of a well known politician in the town. Grandma Kimberly was excited that she had turned eighty. A lot of people were present at the Elite Event centre including Jacelyn and Raymond. “This is a great day. I will sponsor your honeymoon to Maldives. To grandma, here is a necklace worth five million dollars.”

After leaving Celestial Brand, Francis and Jacelyn returned home.“Why is the house so quiet?” Francis asked.Jacelyn smiled. “They must have gone out for their daily activities.”“Don't you think we should have some time together? Just you and I where we talk and have fun?” Francis asked.Jacelyn laughed, “I know where you are heading to but let's not talk about that now.”She assumed he was after them getting intimate with one another but such thing didn't cross Francis' mind.Jacelyn sat on the couch, staring at her ring in admiration.“When will you stop admiring this ring?” Francis teased her. “You owe me a thank you for suggesting that we should get a wedding ring.”“Thank you sir.” Jacelyn laughed. “It's so beautiful to behold, it's mine and I can admire it for as long as I want, don't be jealous.”Francis giggled. “Jealous? I also have my wedding ring. For it to be so attractive and shiny, it should just be made of pure gold.”“What is made of pure gold?” A voice rang out as s

“Are you insane? Get out of my sight.” Jacelyn flared up.Justin was speechless. He was used to ladies throwing themselves at him because he was from a rich family but to his shock today, he met a lady who didn’t regard him.He swore to get Jacelyn by all means.As Justin approached his car, Francis blocked his path.“You have a death wish, right?”“What?! Who the hell are you?” Justin said coldly.“Well, you don’t have to know who I am but the next time you get my wife angry, I will ruin you and your household. Have a good day.” Francis uttered and returned to his initial position.Justin gazed at Francis and laughed. He downgraded Francis from his appearance and concluded he was a nobody.“If Jacelyn is truly your wife, you will watch her scream my name in ecstasy and there is nothing you can do about it.” Justin mumbled and zoomed off.On the other hand, Silas left the door to his office open so as to quickly welcome Jacelyn.Jacelyn went to Tehilla’s office and she was welcomed wi

Meanwhile at the Crimson Villa.Jacelyn narrated the phone conversation to Francis and insisted that they should return home immediately.Francis had no choice but to obey and this left Henry mesmerised.A few hours later, Jacelyn and Francis returned home.“Grandpa has agreed to all your conditions. Here are the documents of you being promoted to the position of the vice chairman of Carlton, your father as a board of directors and the shares allocated to him. Please we have incurred a lot of losses, call Silas Anthony.” Thompson uttered the moment Jacelyn walked in.“Oh my sweet girl. I am proud of you,” said Clara.Jacelyn gazed at Francis before shaking her head. Her mother had just sent them out because she felt they were useless. Now that she has heard a deal that has to do with money, she is acting nice and calm.Jacelyn went through the documents carefully, signed where necessary and gave her father to also do the same.“This is happening because of you Jacelyn.” Paul uttered,
