CHAPTER 42: I GOT MARRIED
I stared at the certificate in my hand and I knew it was already a done deal. I have been officially MARRIED but how did newlyweds feel about their wedding? I looked at the man beside me and he looked pleased like he just won the lottery. I think this is the first time I am seeing that kind of expression on his face but I am not having any of those emotions because I had tons of emotions throughout my head.
After all, I just got married to one of the most influential men in the country and I don’t know what to do. That’s not new though because I always don’t know what to do.
“So, did you want to go home, or did you not want to go to meet up with your friends?
“Friends?”.
“Yes, your friends and mine we should celebrate our wedding since we are not having the ceremony now,” he says and I wonder if he hits his head because I didn’t even believe him when he say we are going to register our marriage even when I listed so many rules for him he still went along with the marriage how could he make so much effort for someone he doesn’t love and the thought of him not loving me makes me sad.
“Yeah, I won’t, want to spend a Saturday locked up in my room, “I say moodily entering our parked car.
“Why are we even getting married,” I asked Bradley after he entered the car and I saw that his chauffeur raised the car partition not wanting to eavesdrop on our conversation.
“Because I need a wife to get my family off my back “he answers briefly, showing that he doesn’t want to discuss the matter any longer.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
I also decided not to ask anything anymore because I don’t know exactly what I am going to ask haven’t met his family yet so I don’t know what to feel about them and I know this is not how married people auction their wedding day and this is not how I dreamed about my wedding day but I still decided to chill because to me this is a marriage of convenience.
Bradley asked me to call my friends to ask them out and I did but a message suddenly entered my phone.
“How have you been Georgina?”I read the message another came in immediately.”Did you miss me?” That’s when I started getting suspicious about the messages and when I tried to call the number it kept saying the number I am dialing is unavailable.
“It’s nice seeing you. I hope when we meet again you will be able to recognize me, “the message says and that thought creeped me out because the person sending me all these unwanted messages might be someone I have met.
“Is something wrong Gina?” Bradley asked.
“I am fine,” I answered hurriedly because I don’t want to bombard him with my problems. This message may be from one of my stalkers and I can deal with it because this is not the first time I am dealing with this type of case.
“We are here,” Bradley announced, jolting me out of my thoughts.
“Ohhhh,” I say.
“I might not have been the best man you wished for but I am going to be the best man you have ever been with so please give me a chance, “Bradley says out of the blue, and before I could say anything already opened the door for me”What a gentleman and also weird at the same time”, I thought.
“Gina, congratulations on your marriage” I heard Olivia screams and I got surprised because how did they get here before us Bradley informed me that he asked them last night after making preparations and I wondered what was going was going on in the cold man’s head because why did he ask me to call them if he has already done so.
After my friends congratulated me on my marriage we all went into the restaurant and Bradley’s friends were already seated inside the private room. They also exchanged pleasantries and they also took turns in congratulating me.
“Wow, this food is so tasty, and I think it’s even tastier because we are eating in one of the most expensive restaurants in the country,”Olivia started complimenting the food with food stuffed in her mouth and I can say the chef gives a lot of thought to the food.
“Wow, Mr. Hale you shouldn’t be a wife slave yet you don’t have to be pampering your wife in front of us I don’t want to be eating dog food with the delicious food I am already eating”Olivia complained when they saw Bradley putting food into my plate and Douglas also joined in teasing me.
“So, let’s use this medium to make a toast to the newlyweds, more happy and fun years together, “Olivia says raising her glass.
“More happy years, “Frederick says, raising his glass. I could sense that something is wrong with him but the artist of his company got married when she just signed a contract, it was understandable.
“More loveable years”Victoria cheers, raising her glass.
“More godchildren for me, “Douglas says and his words make me choke on nothing. Everyone just laughed over it and that’s how we all went back to our food after making toast.
“Thank you so much Mr . Hale for the hearty treat. I so much appreciate it” Olivia thanked Bradley and Victoria followed suit.
“If he ever treats you badly I am coming to hijack you and elope with you”Olivia whispered to my ears while hugging me.
“But are you strong enough to go against the richest man in the country?”I teased and we both burst into laughter.
“So, let me take you, ladies home since it’s already dark”Douglasas offered and I was thankful for him being a gentleman.
“Thanks for the offer but we are here with our car, “Victoria says, turning around dragging Olivia who has another thought with her after beaming a smile and I know we need to talk because my friend is not okay at all.
“Why is your friend so cold?”Douglas says, holding his chest and I can’t help but laugh at how dramatic he is.
“We will be going, “Bradley says, taking my hands and we walk to the car.

Inside the Twilight bar in a private room, a young man is seen drinking himself to a stupor but his mood doesn’t seem better
“Who the fuck does he thinks he is!!” Jayden yelled.
“How dare he tell me what to do,” he says, throwing his drinking glass across the room that hits the floor making a shattering sound and the escorts in the room curled up in fear of Jayden’s wrath.
When the girls were debating if they should leave or stay since the man is not welcoming but a man enters the room with a majestic aura that you will even be on your knees without being told to.
“You can all go out” the new intruder ordered the girls quickly rush out and Jayden got furious.
“Who the hell are you to tell them to leave!!!” he yelled.
“I am the only one that can take down Bradley Hale, the man you hate,” the man says.
“I AM YOUR MESSIAH”…
