Lena took a pause to assess the situation.“Every gesture Roman was making at you was from Phoenix. I told you that guy was a fraud. Look at it now.” Leo told her.Lena requested to see the documents. As she assessed them, she could see her credibility in it. At the same time however, it was her grandfather she was talking about. He could do anything!“I can see…” she said.Leo's face began to brighten up. To him, she was finally seeing from his side, which was always what he wanted.“I can see that you both are really determined to see me lose Roman!” She said loudly, throwing the papers at Phoenix.The documents hit his face and flew in different directions. He was too ashamed to even pick them up from the floor.“Why don't you rest?” She told her grandad. “You have tried and tried and tried. You have done everything you can, but it's still not working. When will you realize that you can never make me leave him?” She added.Leo, who was boiling already, gave her the evil stare, whic

“It's not about who is who, nor what is what. It's about having an invitation.” He explained to them.The problem now was that none of the family members had an invitation card. Lena was more than willing to give one to each of them, but they all refused to accept it. They mocked her that it would be a disaster and wanted no part in it.Events changed however and they, more than anyone else, wanted to experience the event, but there was nowhere to get it.“But we are family. Why do we need an invitation to be at our child's event?” Leo asked Carlos, trying to gaslight Carlos.“If you were good family, you would have been the first to get the invitation.” He told them. “Please go back to the line.” He added.Leo and the rest of them were taken aback by this reply from Carlos. It told everything about their character.Carlos was not the one to mince words or give into emotions. That was why Roman loved to work with him the most.“Please move to the back so we can attend to the important

Leo, seeing that, tried to intercept and cut the shame from his preferred daughter and her supposed husband. He moved to the glass barrier where Jenny and Adrian were and began talking to the crowd.“We are not here to cause any issues.” He said loudly, to make sure everyone had heard him…”Leo wanted to take the spotlight of the moment. He also wanted to make sure he berated Roman at any chance he got because Roman stopped him from walking his hand daughter down the aisle. He kept on talking and talking, even going on to hype Jenny and Adrian up, telling people that their wedding would still go on and it would be great.At some point, the people down in the main hall began to laugh. Seeing them laugh, Leo thought he was winning and joined in the laughter as well.But what confused him was when the laughter didn’t stop, and all eyes were on him while they laughed.“I am sorry, but everything you’ve said for the past ten minutes could not reach us,” Roman said to him. “The glass is s

That was no ordinary maid. It was Camille, Roman’s sister. She was in charge of the reception. She dressed like that so she could blend in with the rest of the maids and not draw too much attention to herself.“Is this for real?” Lena thought to herself. She was so thrilled to find Camille in the wedding hall, especially to know that she was Roman’s sister.“I do not know why these people are here. They have no invitation cards. It could be a threat to our lives and the lives of our guests,” Camille told Roman.“What is with this invitation card thing? We are family,” Leo replied to her.“Well, I guess you’re only remembering that now that things are going well. Have you forgotten how you disposed of your own granddaughter, choosing one over the other, because you thought she was with a nobody?” Camille asked Leo.It turned out that everything Leo and the other members of his family were doing to Nina and Roman, Camille knew about, and this made her despise him.Seeing the commotion

Jenny took a minute to prepare herself for the humiliation. When she was done, she followed Amelia and the rest of the maids toward the food area.“Make sure you watch her,” Camille said to one of the ushers in a discreet manner. She was rude, but she was wise enough to know that if Jenny could find any way to hurt her brother and his new bride, she would take it.Jenny was then shown the food she would serve the bride on her knees with.Tears rolled down her eyes. Every step felt heavier than the last as she walked down the reception aisle to the couple who were the center of attention. Camera flashes sparked across the scene. The paparazzi could not stop recording and taking pictures of Jenny.It quickly went online; the bride who became the maid.Jenny was a proud online activist, so a lot of people knew her and everything she was up to. Posting this would not hurt if she was not well known, but the fact that she was made everyone judge her.After thirty seconds of walking, which f

Back at the main event, the family members had been taken. Adrian was already scared to the bone, almost peeing his pants.“They tried to escape,” Carlos said to Roman when he took them forward.“That means they have a secret. They have something to do with the poisoning and wanted to avoid being caught,” Roman assumed.“No, no, no, we do not know anything,” Adrian said quickly in defense.“Do you think your sister would want to poison you?” Paul asked Lena.“I’m sorry, Dad,” Lena replied. “Maybe a moment ago, I wouldn’t think so,” she told her father.As much as Lena wanted to lie to herself that her sister did not have any hand in it, nor her family, the fact that they tried to run away in a well-coordinated escape said a lot about the whole thing.They tried to defend themselves and talk their way out of the situation, but Camille was hell-bent on making them pay.“You are all under arrest as prime suspects of an attempted murder.” Camille said to them. Adrian and Jenny were shive

As the interrogation proceeded, they had no choice but to leave Jenny. She obviously wasn’t the one who caused it. She was merely a pawn. The next best person was Leo.“Look, I have nothing against my daughter. Okay, yes, I do, but not enough for me to want her dead,” Leo cried out as he was dragged to be cuffed. “Lena, tell them, tell them I have nothing to do with this. I am your grandfather, and I have only always wanted the best for you. I definitely could not do this to you,” he cried out to Lena.Lena looked the other way. As much as loved her family, she had passed the stage of trusting them.“All right, old man,” Camilla said to Leo after he had been cuffed to the wall. “You know it’s not going to be difficult to make you crack,” she mocked. “You better talk now and avoid unnecessary pain,” she added.“Please, please, I have no knowledge about who tried to poison them, I swear.”“Then tell us how you knew how to escape and when to do it. Everything you did seemed carefully pl

Eventually, the wedding was over, and despite all the problems, the event was as grand as Roman wanted. It met and even surpassed Lena’s expectations. In fact, to her, the suspense, curiosity, and cries at the beginning, followed by such a satisfying ending, made her feel like she was in a movie.“Maybe I will take my story to one of those big Hollywood screenwriters to turn it into a movie,” she joked about it in the car with Roman.“Well, I cannot show you that my own side of the story would be more captivating,” Roman jokingly said.This was a joke that has deep meaning to Roman, especially when he remembered how he has to leave her to fight the people after him, get crashed and almost kidnapped by bandits. He just wanted to say it out in a lighter note. Roman said it as a joke, but Lena added more meaning to it, as expected. “Tell me… what really happened between you and the terrorists?” she asked him.Roman turned to her, his face immediately turning sour.“I am not calling yo

Chapter 59Three days later, the beautiful honeymoon came to an end. “I will definitely miss this place so much.” Lena sobbed when it was time to leave. “This is my home, remember? We can always come here every time we're free.” Roman reminded her. “Now, that's a relief.” “So… babe, are we going to your own mansion?” Lena asked Roman. “We would, but we can't because the building is still under construction.” Roman revealed to her. Lena grew a little sad. “You had been constructing for a long time now. Why haven't you finished yet?” She asked him. “Well, I didn't know I was going to marry so soon.” He replied. His words caused Lena to raise her eyes at him. “No, no, no….” He quickly told her. “Marrying you is still the best thing that has ever happened to me. I just didn't know it would come so soon. If I did, the building would be done by now.” He explained. This cracked Lena up so bad, she laughed out loud. “Of course, I know what you meant.” She said as she kept laughing.
Chapter 60
Before leaving, Roman introduced a couple to Lena; Pete and Belle.“These are the couple who will now take care of you and Dad,” Roman told Lena.They already had enough help at home, and Lena wondered why Roman brought more.“This one’s different,” he explained. “They’re to handle your personal needs. The woman handles the light, inside stuff, while the man acts as the heavyweight while I’m on my trip,” he added.Lena was still not sure about it because, in her opinion, the ones at home were very much okay.Roman wasn’t the type to waste resources or bring new people into his life without a deeper meaning attached to it. At the same time, she knew anything Roman did was for their best interests, so she was able to look past it.“I will take them on a walk around the compound,” Roman said to Lena.“That’s all?” Lena asked him.“Yes,” he replied to her. “That’s all.”“That can be done by any of the men in the house. Why do you want to handle it yourself?” she asked him.“Well, it might
