“Come outside, I’ve sent my driver to take you to the wedding venue.” He said through the phone as she picked up.
She didn’t reply before he hung up the call. Hearing the beep sound of the call being ended, she stood up from where she was sitting and ran outside.
Seeing the black luxurious black car parked outside her house, she was amazed by this scene. Even though her family can be said to be wealthy, her father doesn’t have this type of car.
Although she doesn’t follow car updates, seeing the black shiny car before her, she knew it would cost a fortune.
Her mobile phone rang amidst her thoughts. She jolted out of her thoughts as she checked her phone for the person calling her.
Seeing that the caller still doesn’t have a name, she picked up immediately.
“Have you seen the car I sent to you?” Raymond asks her through the phone. “Yes I saw it, but this car is too eye-catching. I don’t think I can go to the wedding venue in this car.” Lina hesitates.
That’s the least expensive car in my garage. If you know you are not late, don’t get in the car then. He said as he hung up on her.
Lina frowned as she kept staring at her phone, seeing that she didn’t have much time left, she packed her bulky wedding gown in her hands and got into the car. Since she doesn’t have any options right now. Her priority was to get to the wedding venue before the wedding started.
*****
Kings Hotel.
In one of their suites.
A man and a woman could be seen pacing back and forth as they kept calling a particular number.
“Daniel, why is that bitch not picking up our calls? Had she found out about what we did and ran away before the wedding?. No, that is not possible, we have been in a relationship behind her back for two years now, and she isn’t aware of it. She is so foolish that she would not even know what is going on around her.” Mira said as she walked around the room.
Hearing this also put Daniel on the edge. “I hope she doesn’t find out anything about our plan. I have to get her mother’s legacy from her before she finds out about anything. I must get married to her today.” He said in his mind.
As they were both debating on the possibility of why they can’t find Lina in the hotel, someone knocked on the door.
“Come in,” Mira said as she stared at the door to know who the intruder was.
Seeing that the person that came in was one of her trusted maids in Robert’s mansion, she asked hurriedly, “any information on my sister’s whereabouts.”
The maid bowed her head as she said to Mira, “the eldest Miss has been found. She came back to the hotel not long ago, dressed in her wedding gown.”
Hearing this makes Daniel’s beating heart calm down. “Finally all my hard work of three years is about to be rewarded.” He said within himself.
Even though he has a plan with Robert’s family ( Mira and her parents), about how Lina’s mother’s legacy will be divided among themselves, he has other plans of his own.
Not knowing that her sudden disappearance has caused a commotion in the hotel, as she alighted from the car that picked her up from her apartment not long ago, Lina makes her way to the elevator on the first floor, to get back to her hotel room.
On reaching the floor of the room she should have spent the night, she stopped in front of the door as she checked for any movement in the room.
On hearing her sister’s and fiance’s voice, she smiled as she pushed the door knob. She did not even care about eavesdropping on what they might be saying inside. She already knows their plans and she is well prepared for anything coming her way..
As the door was opened, Mira knew it would be Lina and no one else. As if she isn’t aware that it was Lina that came in, she started sobbing while saying to Daniel,
“Brother in-law, how can my sister be so careless and leave the hotel before the wedding? Does she not want to get married to you anymore and run away before the wedding? No, this can’t be, my sister won’t do that. She loves you so much, she can’t do something like this. She has been daydreaming about this day since she fell in love with you.”
Mira said as she came to stand in front of Daniel. “Trust me brother in-law, my sister is not someone that would run away from her responsibilities.” She said this while she placed her hands palms together in front of her face as she begged Daniel with tears in her eyes.
Looking at the woman he loves crying and begging him, even though he knew it was an act, he was not happy. But for the bigger plan, he has to endure and also go along with the flow of her acting.
Saying this was a pain to Mira, but in order to portray the feeling of a caring sister, she has to say this at this moment.
“Continue acting, I want to see how far you can go with this facade, dear sister.” Lina said within herself.
“Daniel!” Lina called out as she walked closer to them. On hearing her calling his name, Daniel took his gaze away from Mira as he stared at Lina.
Seeing the girl entering the room with elegance as she held her wedding gown in her hands, Daniel was stunned. Even though he knew that Lina was a beautiful girl, she always dressed in an old fashioned way which doesn’t compliment her beauty.
But seeing her small round face which is complimented with a little makeup powder, it even makes her prettier.
The Lina he knew was someone that doesn’t like to dress sexily, but seeing her wedding gown that wrapped around her slim waist which brings out her curves, makes his mouth water. He started imagining how it would feel to wrap himself around her as her perfectly shaped slim legs wrapped around his waist.
