CHAPTER ELEVENElias remained on the floor, panting while more blood oozed from his nostrils and the injuries on his face.Chloe was frozen. She couldn’t say a word and wasn’t sure of how to handle the situation.“No! Don’t leave! The wedding has not yet started!” Her panic increased as she watched all the guests leave one after the other. Even the minister realized that he was in the wrong place.No one wanted to be part of the calamity that had befallen her.“What have you done, Kelvin?! You just ruined my wedding!” Tears fell from her eyes, and the only person who was there with her apart from Elias was her mother.“I always knew that you were bad luck for my daughter! Why don’t you just let her be?!” Laila Oakwood was furious at that moment, she could no longer remain calm after watching from a corner.“Mrs. Oakwood? I almost didn’t see you.” Kelvin sniggered at the middle-aged lady, the memories of how bad she treated him were still intact.“You were never good for my daughter! S

CHAPTER THIRTEENNothing was so pitiful than the tears that trickled down Daisy’s face.Kelvin could see the pain in her eyes, an evidence that she had suffered greatly in the hands of her family.He wondered why they treated her so badly, but then he decided that he was going to help her.“I will help you. Don’t worry.” He promised with a soothing voice which was accompanied by a reassuring smile.He turned to face Dexter and his wife, and then he said audibly;“I have one condition before I agree to help your daughter.”The smile on Dexter’s face vanished at once, and he realized that something really didn’t seem right.“Is there a problem? Is anything wrong?”“Not at all, Mr. Buffet. I will cure her, but on one condition.”“What condition?” Dexter asked, not certain that he was ready for the answer to the question.“That you will let me marry her. It seems no one wants her, but I think I want to marry her.”“Why? Look at her, she looks like a monster! Why would a handsome man like

CHAPTER FIFTEENPedro looked like he had seen a ghost, but it wasn’t long before he managed to get a hold on himself.“How are you cured, Daisy?! You are meant to be on a wheelchair!” Pedro was still stunned, he looked at Daisy’s healed body, there was no scar to indicate that she had a terrible fire accident.“I am here to reclaim my company, Pedro. I need you to step aside.” Daisy was direct with her demand. She didn’t have time to exchange words with Pedro who was obviously part of her family’s negligence.“What?! No way!” Pedro refused at once, he was enjoying so much power and wealth as the CEO of the company, and he wasn’t ready to let go.“Father asked me to take over when you got yourself burned in that fire. There is no way I am disobeying his instruction.”“This company belongs to me, Pedro! It’s either you leave or I will be forced to throw you out!” Daisy was gradually losing her patience, but Pedro was too blind to see it.“You have lost this company, Daisy! Did you ever

CHAPTER SEVENTEENKelvin couldn’t stop his legs from taking two steps.He didn’t need anyone to tell him that the woman he was staring at was his Mother.Flashes of memories filled his head as he stared in disbelief.Over two decades of being apart from the woman that birthed him caused him instant pain.Morganat saw two men who looked alike, but she knew which one of them was her lost son.Tears freely tricked down her face as she looked at Kelvin, wishing she could get on her feet and run to him.She turned to one of the bodyguards. “Move faster.” She ordered, and the young man didn’t waste any time in adding more force to the wheel.Kelvin knelt in front of his Mother, sniffling as he grabbed her hands. “I never thought I was going to see you again. Mother!” The last word made him gasp; a new reality was setting in.Morganat leaned forward and embraced him, and he didn’t mind the tears that dropped on his suit.While Mother and son were still engrossed in the euphoria of the moment

CHAPTER NINETEENThe night looked like it was the best moment to witness as guests all over the city trooped into the Ashwood Estate in their numbers.Even though the premises of the Greenland Villa didn’t look like it was not going to be able to contain the sleek cars that were lined up like metallic snakes inside the parking lots, anyone who saw the luxurious cars was going to think that they had walked into an automobile company.Inside the hall were guests in their numbers, brandishing their expensive outfits that matched the color of the day- white.The chandeliers hanging above them scintillated their glitters into the champagne flutes that the sommeliers were serving the guests.Whispers, laughter, and exchange of pleasantries filled the air, but it didn’t sound like they were going to be able to overshadow the live performance of the best orchestra giving their best by the corner of the large hall.Everyone anticipated the arrival of the long awaited celebrant, but Kelvin seem
