“Georgina paced around the room thinking of what next to do she has never been in such a tight situation before “How was she going to face the press after the show Mrs. Hales and Chace just put up” she hit her hand forcefully on the table and gritted. The door yanked open and Keith dashed in followed by Thalia. “Why did you leave?, Who did you leave the mess you and Lindsey created for?” Keith growled, Georgina walked towards him and gave him a resounding slap
“Mother” Thaila tried Stopping her but she flashed her a fierce glance which sent chills down her body, she kept quiet giving the mother and son time for themselves. Keith held his cheeks staring deeply at his mother ” If you had found a better woman to be your wife, I wouldn’t have tried finding one for you, instead you choose that gold digger” Georgina yelled.
“And who said Audrey isn’t a better wife, for all I know she’s a million times better than Sofia and Lindsey and she would always_” Georgina landed another slap on Keith’s face before he could finish his sentence “shut it” she exhaled deeply staring at him. The room became quiet, just then Tiana walked in closing the door almost immediately “The guests are waiting, Grandfather asked we take Lindsey back to the bridal waiting room so she’s there at the moment” Tiana said.
“What are we going to do mother?,” Thalia asked staring at Georgina who just stared at her without saying anything, she gradually shifted her gaze to the window inhaling deeply. “We should probably call off the wedding,” Keith suggested sounding happy.
“No one is calling off any wedding” Chairman Winslow said walking into the room. “Grandfather, but you saw what happened there, you don’t expect me to go back and marry a woman who clearly has a boyfriend, everyone is going to take our family as a joke,” Keith said “An ex-boyfriend, she clearly stated she broke up with him and don’t even ask the reason why, we all have an ex whom we felt isn’t compatible with us, All I see is a bitter ex who doesn’t want her happiness, Lindsey is your wife and this wedding is going to continue, it must continue, the public can think whatever they want to think,” Chairman Winslow said with so much authority.
Aside from Georgina, he was the ultimate authority and no one dares go against his order. Keith gritted his teeth, staring at his grandfather, he loved the old man and has always respected him since he could remember but this time around he was asking for just too much. “How was he going to walk back to the wedding hall and marry Lindsey after everything that just happened,” Keith thought Clenching his fist.
“But how were they able to enter, the young man doesn’t look familiar at all so I didn’t invite him and Lindsey wouldn’t be foolish enough to invite her ex who still loves her to her wedding and Mrs. Hales, how did she?” Georgina asked confused. “I will talk to the security department, both of them have been arrested so we can question them later but right now we need to do as grandfather said, Lindsey, is waiting so is the guests,” Thaila said, Keith scoffed sparing her a glance, what was he expecting Thaila was obviously the younger version of Georgina always trying to be Superior to everyone else
Georgina Inhaled gently and turned to Keith, She looked at him for a while before going to adjust his tie “I will speak to the guests first before I call you and Lindsey to enter the hall again, Go and find her and I seriously hope you or your slut has nothing to do with what just happened if so I will deal with her” Georgina said before she left alongside Thaila. Keith stared at his grandfather giving from a pleading eye but the old man shook his head negatively and then walked out of the room leaving him and Tiana.
“I will take you to Lindsey,” Tiana said immediately after the door slammed shut. Keith hit his hand forcefully at the table mumbling in between his stiff breath.
“Unbelievable, I can’t believe her son snatched someone’s girlfriend?” “They have no shame at all, no wonder they had security everywhere but karma is a bitch, she dealt with them big time” “I never liked this family, they try so hard to display a perfect family in the eyes of the public yet they are monsters inside” those were the words Georgina heard when she entered the hall, everyone seemed busy chit chatting and they didn’t even notice her presence. She touched the megaphone lightly allowing it to echo in the hall.
The guests turned towards her and the paparazzi all rushed towards her. “Please ma’am, do you know the two intruders?”. “Will the wedding still hold or are you here to call it off?” “Is what they said about your son and Ms. Lindsey true?” Georgina smiled lightly trying to hold herself firmly, she closed her eyes and opened them almost immediately.
“I sincerely apologize for the drama, we already involved the police and the two intruders would be thoroughly investigated and charged duly” She paused then continued almost immediately “The wedding would continue and we would communicate the outcome of the investigation in a press conference” Georgina concluded.
“Charged but the bride happens to know the young man,” One of the reporters said making Audrey chuckle, the guest all began to murmur supporting what the reporter said. “Just like I said earlier, We would hold a press conference and communicate the outcome of the investigation,” Georgina said signalling the reverend.
The reporters made to ask more questions but the security didn’t allow them to do so as they were shown to their seats. In a few minutes, the hall became quiet again allowing the wedding to continue.
Keith and Lindsey walked back into the wedding hall, holding each other’s hands. “Ms. Lindsey Roach, do you take Mr. Keith Winslow as your lawfully wedded husband?” The reverend asked. “Yes, I do,” Lindsey said. “And you Mr. Keith Winslow, do you take Ms. Lindsey Roach as your lawfully wedded Wife?” He asked facing Keith. “Yes, I do,” Keith said. The reverend gave them their wedding band which they exchange before he pronounced them husband and wife.
“You may now kiss your bride” Keith gave him a sharp glance, throwing daggers at him with his eyes, if stares could kill, the reverend was long dead. The hall became quiet as everyone stared at the new couple waiting for them to exchange their first kiss as a couple. “Don’t be shy, she’s now your wife” The reverend joked and everyone laughed. He must have thought Keith and Lindsey were two lovebirds, that was what Georgina portrayed them to be. A perfect couple.
Keith shifted his gaze at the guests and his eyes meet Audrey’s, her face looked sad and she was waiting eagerly to know what Keith would do. Lindsey clenched her fist inhaling deeply, she released her fist while exhaling and then grabbed Keith by the collar dragging him towards her, she placed her lips on his, closing her eyes she kissed him softly.
The whole guest mouthed an ooh, some found what Lindsey did lovely and funny, Georgina and Angela were among those who found that funny, Angela smiled and began to clap and then the other guests joined her in clapping including the surprised ones but none was as surprised as Keith and Audrey. Keith kept his eyes open trying to break out from the kiss but Lindsey held him tightly not allowing him to do so.
After about five minutes, Lindsey gently ended the kiss, her face flushed and she was a bit shy to look at Keith or the guest but when she finally stared into Keith’s eyes but all she saw was a look of disgust and hatred in his eyes. Her face turned pale and she forced a smile trying not to think about what she saw. She had made the first move because she thought Keith might decide not to kiss her there by embracing her in front of everyone, she had already faced one big embarrassment thanks to Chace and she couldn’t imagine facing another.
Keith shifted his gaze from her to the guests only for him to see Audrey wiping the tears in her eyes, he watched her stand up and walked towards the door. He made to run towards her but the paparazzi were already over him and Lindsey taking pictures of them.
Even if he force his way out, he would just be creating another scandal for himself and his family, he inhaled grabbing Lindsey by the waist. He bent her over in a Cinderella-style and kissed her making the whole guests gasp and the paparazzi began to click pictures of them. “
