Elena is fully dressed up in the latest channel red dress, limited edition Gucci shoes, a million dollars silver neckpiece and the best make up artist to make her look irresistible.

For her dad, it was the day of a powerful business union; for Damien, it was the day he would get married to the sexiest sex toy in the world while for others it was a day to take good pictures, drink, and make new friends but for Elena, it was the worst day she had seen so far.

“Elena, they are ready for you,” her friend said as she walked up to Elena.

“I will come down soon, Lydia” Elena said, she knitted her brows, anxious about what was next.

“Frowning would ruin your make up, it is not that bad my girl, you might end up loving him” Lydia said with a concerned face then left.

Elena thought about the chances of falling in love with Damien, who knows every club in the US for parties of all kinds. He knows nothing about business and has been spoon-fed his entire life, just like they’re spoon-feeding him a wife.

“Without this arranged marriage, I doubt any girl in her right senses would want to marry him!” A tear escaped her eyes, “My dad made me settle for less” she said but wiped the tear.

“Elena, just try to be positive, maybe see the better side, the fame, business, power, do it for your dad” Lydia said even though she knew Damien was no green light.

Lydia knew that all Elena had ever talked about was how Nathan, her ex spoiled her, loved her to the brim even as a busy soldier. Now she is jumping into an arranged marriage for the business name.

Elena nodded and went down the stairs slowly, she saw Damien already waiting for her at the stage. All he talked to her about for these past few days they tried to know each other was how he could do pleasurable things to her in bed.

Nate was the only one who had seen her body and he took care of her like she was an egg, gentle and loving but today she was getting married to a sex addict in minutes. She wished deep in her mind that Nate would come back to her life.

As she got very close to people, she forced a smile out of her plump cheeks. 

“Attention everyone” the MC started. “Tonight Washington witnesses history, the union of the Pearsons’ family and Uyors’ legacy. Let us all stand to raise our glasses to Damien Uyors and Elena Pearson”

Damien smiles happily, snaked his hand around her sexy waist, and gave her a quick kiss.

Applause and congratulations were all over the place with tons of flowers.

Elena’s dad and Uyors also waved to them smiling at the PDA they just displayed.

“I am so fucking glad to get married to you soon” Damien whispered in her ears as the cameras click.

“At least one of us is happy,” Elena said as she rolled her eyes and fake-smiled.

The doors sway open harshly as an announcement distracted the camera crew.

“The NFT Chairman is here!” a random person yelled from the crowd.

All cameras turn on Nathan and Kelvin with their masks smiling, which everyone finds weird. Murmurs ripple as stern-faced escorts in tailored suits enter, forming a path at the center for Nate and Kel.

“Why did the Chairman send masked clowns to steal attention on an important occasion like this one?” Damien scoffed.

“I knew they weren't actually the CEO of NFT,” Mr Pearson said and everywhere went silent.

“That isn't how to welcome your chairman, besides you invited me,” Nathan said with his computerized voice through the mask.

“I invited the Chairman of the NFT, not a clown. A clown that wears expensive Suits but cannot show his face” Damien said and some people laughed.

He walked closer to Nathan intending to pull the masks but Nate’s security pushed him away before he got any closer.

“You cannot come to my engagement and embarrass me, Father get the soldiers! And I want a restraining order” Damien screamed from the floor and General Uyors called his soldiers to get rid of Nate.

‘What a crybaby!’ Elena thought to herself as Damien wailed from the floors. 

Uyors soldiers matched towards Nathan but his security quickly noticed the soldiers wore comms so they hacked them immediately and their comms screeched loudly in their ears, halting them and bringing them to their knees holding their eyes in pain.

“You love trouble and I have more from where that came from because I am untouchable,” Nathan said and smiled.

People were shocked, not many people in America could use such technology. Uyors brows furrowed with rage. Some were streaming live and calling him a masked monster that wouldn't remove his mask, some preferred wedding crashers.

“But I will save you the trouble of trying to touch me” Nathan said as he removed his mask, giving it to his bodyguard. Kel followed too.

He ran his fingers through his hair strands and smiled, as Elena froze, Mr Pearson went pale and General Uyors stiffened.

And besides I hurt him a lot that I have given up on his forgiveness” Elena said as her mood changed gradually.“You might be surprised, American. Come here” she gestured Lena to come for a hug.

    “It was an injection, I saw Uyors asking another guy, Tim, to give her a lethal injection at night so she doesn't wake up,” Adam said, they were both so sober. The thought of losing their mum was horrible as they planned to elope with her if they survived this last work from Uyors but it's unfortunate“He called one doctor to forge the autopsy results of a peaceful death with slowing of the heartbeat” Adrien said, as he wiped his eyes.“Also, one of the boys who died last year told us how Uyors personally shot your parents, before that boy, Luca, died, he said his biggest sin was beating the old man and woman to a pulp. He asked God to forgive him as he bled to death. Uyors stabbed him for asking a question I guess” Adam added.“The same doctor I believe did their autopsy and forged the result to be suicide” Adam concluded as he looked at his brother who gave him a nod that meant ‘you did the right thing’. Since the one person they loved was gone, there was absolutely no need to be

    “Why did you do that? General Uyors will end us” the other culprit yelled.“We are dead anyway man! As long as we do not execute the assassin, the General will kill us! Both ways we die” the one that confessed said.“What is your name?” Mr. Romano asked the man who confessed. “It’s Adrien sir,” Adrien said.“And you?” He asked the other, who was more stubborn, to talk.“Do whatever suits you, maybe I should send you back to your General to die. I see you've not had a change of heart yet” Mr. Romano said.“There is no stopping him! He will find us and kill us wherever we are! So if you want to help us then make our death easier, do it already!” The stubborn guy said.“His name is Adam,” Adrien said.“He obviously doesn't pay you guys, your behavior shows that you're living below average.
