“Didn’t Roman boldly claim he would hold a wedding grander than yours?” Leo said angrily, her voice sharp with resentment. “Tell the Max family to reserve the Walter Hotel in its entirety! If they find it too costly, the Henderson family will cover the remaining expenses!”Her eyes burned with determination. “I want every influential figure in Westwegia City present at your wedding. Let’s see how Roman plans to surpass that!” She said to her Adrian but man, Adrian Max.Jenny’s eyes lit up immediately. “That’s brilliant, grandpa! I’ll contact Richard right now and ask the Max family to send out even more invitations!”Initially, Jenny had only intended to exaggerate Lena’s so-called arrogance. She hadn’t expected her complaints to escalate into such an aggressive strategy.To her delight, she now didn’t even have to shoulder the wedding expenses alone.Leo wasn't finished yet.“Didn’t Roman say that if his wedding failed to outshine yours, he would divorce Lena?” she continued coldly. “

CHAPTER 43At exactly 6:30 AM, Lena's alarm rang loudly, waking her up to the lonely bed. She hadn't seen Roman for two days. She hasn't been able to communicate or know anything about him because he was always unreachable. The first thing she did when she woke up was take her phone and call his number. “Please pick up, please pick up!” She prayed deep down as dialed his number. As sadly expected, three deeps and “... unreachable” followed. Now, she dropped her phone, almost shedding tears. She had no plans for the day, no reasoning as to how things would go. She was stuck in the bed, replaying all the worst ways things would end up for her. She however remembered his words to her, that even at the last minute, he would turn up. That gave her little courage. As she thought deeply about it, almost drawing herself in the process, then came a knock on the door. “Could it be him?!” She didn't even mind asking who it was, but ran to it and opened it at once. “Good morning ma'am.

Good thing luck was on his side. The air strikes didn't damage his parachute and he landed safely in an enclosed space. He was displaced into an island, a place he was unfamiliar with. Breathing heavily, he tries to relax with Alex, who was still unconscious. He touched Alex's pulses to make sure Alex was still breathing before sitting back, finally taking the deep sign of relief. He was already very dirty and damaged. That whole experience had ruined him. He didn't know where to go from there or how to even leave that scene without being tracked by whatever it was that was firing at him. He also suspected that whoever it was that was firing at him, would be on their way. “Carson!” Roman jumped as he remembered. He took his phone out to call Carson and ask him how close the police patrol was. When he took the phone out and tried using it, it wasn't responding. The phone was dead, damaged from the series of violent events. “No!” Roman yelled out as he couldn't access the phon

Adrian and Jenny did as they planned. They moved their time up and were petty enough to reach out to guests from Lena's wedding. “Lena and Roman and not getting married today or ever, so it's best you make your way to our wedding.” They sent secret messages like that. Only about a hundred people had accepted the invitation to their wedding, compared to over 500 who were going to Lena and Roman's. People were definitely more interested in the mysterious love of Lena and Roman, compared to their stale, cruel love and it showed very clearly. To Jenny and Adrian, this was the best time to win the audience back to their favour. It however did not work as they planned. “We'd rather wait till night to watch Roman and Lena get married, than come to your wedding.” One of the guests told them. This was a very embarrassing feat. They knew the things Adrian and Jenny did to Roman especially and sympathised with him. When they didn't know who Roman really was, they took every opportunity to

A bridal flower dropped from one of the helicopters scattering the field, supposedly paid for landing. “What was that?” Leo asked. No one understood what was happening at the get go. “It's probably a prank.” One of her family members said, causing the rest to mock her. Lena was equally confused as to the reason for the random occurrence of events, but she knew something was definitely happening. Soon enough, it would be clear to her. “How can a helicopter just drop off a flower for you?” The mocked. She stayed quiet, waiting for the next surprise. It turns out Roman had changed plans of the helicopter trend, but his new plan still had helicopters. It was going to be a step by step grand gesture.That would keep people guessing what would come next, while keeping them in awe, anytime it did. Leo really thought so much more would happen, but when nothing happened as they returned downstairs, Lena with her new set of expensive flowers, he couldn't help but begin degrading her all
