First Heir: Hunter Dmitri

4

    Hunter spent the whole week planning for their wedding; there are a few things left to do since Master Pritt ensured everything would be done smoothly. 

Olivia refused to speak with Hunter. She still felt hostile, as always; she was staying in her friend’s condo, which he let; if this was her way to accept the situation, he let her do it; she had a week to prepare herself. He may sound nonchalant, but his heart feels empty, knowing that he have to deal with this feeling for the rest of my life.

“Hey, you, okay?” Liana, Hunter’s best friend, pat him that pushed him out from his reverie, “You look awful, dude, come on, try this; I saw a cute petite girl down there; I’ll just drop my hi,”

Hunter scoff, “Oh come on, Lia, don’t rush, and just insert those five on her; I’ll be patiently waiting for you here, no pressure,”

He heard her laugh before exiting the boutique; she’s a lesbian, and when she said she would drop her hi, it meant she’s going to fuck that woman; it’s always a target lock.

She usually goes back three to four hours after saying she’ll drop; well, at least she’s enjoying her life right now. 

Liana accompanied Hunter to choose his shoes since Olivia went to work today; she said she had a lot of paper works to do since she’ll be taking a wedding leave; she just texted Hunter that today was supposed to be their schedule fitting of the clothes, but she said, she’ll do hers on the other day. 

A phone call stopped him from thinking, it was from an unknown number, although, it hasn’t had a name on it, Hunter knew who was calling him, after three rings, he finally answered the phone, “Hello,” he said in a flat tone.  

“Boss, we need you right now,” a familiar voice, spoke on the other line, “The Silva crane has been keeping their eyes on us, and wants to claim us, as his servant, can you please meet him, for once?”  

Hunter’s brow furrowed, “Alfred, you know I’m getting married, I can’t let anyone ruin my plans,”

“Please boss,” a long pause on the other line, until Hunter heard a sigh, “Please boss, just this once, show as the mafia boss we’ve been serving for years,”  

Hunter sighed heavy, “Call me tomorrow,” he said, after a long pause, and he ended the call. Hunter came back from choosing, but his mind were long gone, thinking about his people, waiting for him. 

“Hi, Mr. Dimitri, have you chosen your shoes?” Amelia, one of the co-owner, approached me; I’ve been here for a couple of hours; I shyly looked at her, and she chuckled, realizing my answer, “May I recommend some designs that will perfectly suit your motif?”

I immediately nod, “Yes, please, thank you. Ms. Amelia,”

“Please come with me,” she guided me to the next room, where I stayed; inside, there were different sets and designs of shoes, “This is our limited-edition pairs; I have these three pairs, you can choose from,” she said, and get the three black shoes with different cuts, and designs, A Diciannoveventitre Derby Shoe, dark burgundy, horse leather, this cost a hundred and seventy thousand sol,” 

Hunter looked at it, it’s been a while since he held a luxurious item, “This must be second or third model for this year,” Hunter halt, “This is a good choice,”

She smiled at me, “Mr. Pritt reminded us to go with whatever you choose, and don’t worry about the amount, so you have the freedom to choose,” 

“I’ll probably be wearing that at the wedding; then it will live and die on the cabinet,” the manager laugh with his snide remark. 

In the end, He chose plain yet elegant brown leather shoes; After the fitting, he went to the hotel where their wedding will hold; Hunter had a long, tiring, yet fulfilling day; he just hoped Olivia was with him in the process. 

THIS is the day Hunter has been waiting for, their wedding day. Three days before the wedding, Olivia spoke with Hunter, asking for forgiveness for her rude behavior, and even asked him to see her wedding dress, to which he immediately agreed. He wanted to make everything works out. 

God must have heard my prayers and decided to give me a happy ending. He thought. Guests, bride’s maids, and groomsmen were happily chatting with each other, they still had fifteen minutes before the ceremony started, and Hunter is started to feel heavy. 

Some of his friends, we’re here; Liana kept on smirking and winking at him; she knows how to annoy his friend Hunter don’t have many guests because he chose not to invite them; he don’t want to cause any trouble on his wedding day, and because of his decision to make a life from scratch, he didn’t have the time to actually make friends, not on his real self.  

“Mr. Dimitri, the ceremony is about to start. Would you please stand at the end of the aisle? The wedding car is about to arrive,” Hunter sigh in relief, He was thinking all night that Olivia might have a cold-feet and decide not to appear at their wedding, however, Hunter thought that he won her heart this time, “The bride is arriving!” this time, A voice echoed through the whole hall. 

The wide door opens, and light fills the whole room; Mr. Johnson wants their wedding to be like Olivia’s late mom, flowery, like a fairytale, surrounded by people who are genuinely happy about their wedding, 

But Hunter’s happiness comes with great heartbreak, for it wasn’t Olivia who entered; it was the crying Nadia—her maid of honor while holding a letter. 

“I’m sorry, she was long gone when I saw her letter,”

The whole place was filled with crowds different opinions, about Olivia, not showing to their wedding. Brokenhearted Hunter, was staring blankly, so, this is why I feel odd? My instinct never fail me. He thought to himself. 

Hunter’s phone rang, Exasperation starts to fill Hunter’s chest, he did everything he can, to make them work, but this is how Olivia give back, he scoop his phone on his inside pocket, and answer the call. 

“Boss,” Hunter heard one of his loyal people, “We are all gathered, and is been waiting for you, are you coming?”  

Hunter’s bitterly chuckled, “Looks like, destiny keeps on playing with my life, Alfred,”

“Boss..” Alfred didn’t know what to say, Hunter as a boss don’t usually show his fragile side, he is best known for being nonchalant. 

“Pick me now, I think I have to go back home,”
