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

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 so

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

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

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.
