chapter 5

Drake and his boys were searching for Rida, while she was hiding right in front of the wedding hall in the car watching them run all over the place. Drake was screaming her name telling her to come out before he kills her parents.

Rida was all calm, Drake was screaming her name asking her to come out before he kills her parents, she was sure her parents were not there, and the threats wouldn't work on her. Zeus looked at her, studying her, she stayed calm until she heard her mother scream her name.

"Rida!" A voice echoed. "Mom!" Rida looks at Zeus, worried "that's my mom! How did he find her?" she says, trying to open the door to run to her.

Zeus pulls her arms to stop her from leaving "wait!" he says, taking his phone out and calling "Steve what's happening?!"

"the bride ran away Master"

"and?"

"and he has the mother at gunpoint"

Rida was done waiting; she couldn't just sit in the car waiting for her mother to die "I have to go back!"

"you don't, just say the word! I will help you get rid of him and this marriage!"

"I can't do that! I can't risk your life just to save mine! I must go" she says pulling the door and running inside the venue. Zeus couldn't understand the reasons for her fearing him and walked out of the car watching her as she ran inside the venue.

Rida reached inside and saw Drake with her mother, pointing his gun at her "well see mother, your daughter is here, didn't I tell you?!"

"let her go; I am here do whatever you want!" Rida says walking closer to him and planning to give herself to him "oh love" Drake walks closer to her leaving her mother for the guards to deal with "you seriously thought I wouldn't have thought of this?" he says getting closer to her "you will pay for this with your body tonight" he whispers against her ears, Rida looks away, loathing as he speaks "Let the wedding begin!"

Drake screams and Rida tries to get to her mother, but she couldn't get any closer to her and soon the guards brought her father back to the venue. Aaira stood there looking at the disaster, hoping for some help to arrive on time but nothing was happening, she kept calling but no one received her call.

Rida walked closer to the altar, being pushed. Bill got closer to his daughter "Rida why did you come back?" he says almost whispering, Rida looks at him tears escaping her eyes "I'm sorry daughter, I can't do anything to save you from the monster" he says looking at her tears. Rida quickly wipes her tears "I'm fine Dad, we tried that's what matters" she says forcing a smile on her face. Bill walked side by side with his daughter to the aisle watching Drake waiting for her eagerly.

Drake stretched his hands out for Rida to grab onto it, but little did he know, "DIE!" Bill screams pulling a dragger out of his blazer striking at him, but Drake dodged the strike with his hand and pushed him away, the guards take him down beating him "NO!!!!!" Rida screams but they did not stop kicking him "this old tart really thought he could kill me!" Drake says, pulling Rida closer to him.

Rida looks at him "please let my father go, Drake, I am willing to do anything you want but please let him go!" Drake looked at Rida, the worried eyes, and grabbed her chin biting her lips "if you want them to stop, complete the wedding!"

Rida stared at Drake and every part of her body was saying no but she couldn't say no "yes let's do it!" she says walking to the priest. Drake was enjoying every moment of it, getting a strike wasn't bad, and vulnerable Rida was agreeing to every demand he had.

The Priest stared at them, reluctant to continue with the wedding but if he says anything he would be on the ground getting beaten up by the guards.

"Drake Grimm, do you take Rida Williams as your wedded wife?" Drake glances at Rida one last time, as in a minute she will be his "yes I do" he says grinning.

The Priest looks at Rida, even though he wanted to save her he couldn't risk his life over it "Rida Williams do you take Drake Grimm as your wedded husband?" Rida looks at her father on the ground, her mother and friend taken hostage by the guards pointing their guns at them.

"yes -"

Bang!

A sudden gun firing caught everyone's attention and people looked at the entrance to see the source of it and in no time the venue filled with guards holding guns in their hands.

Drake looks at his guards and one of the guards runs to him" who are these people? "

"Boss, I don't know, but they have a jaguar on the guns, they definitely are-"

"how did he know about the wedding?" Drake asks, looking at Steve walking inside the wedding "Hello Drake!"

"what are you doing here Steve!"

"I was invited!" he says showing him the invitation card in his hands "how did you get that?" he says looking at his guards "why is that a concern? worry about yourself! you were marrying someone you shouldn't, what were you expecting?"

"what do you mean?" he asks looking back at Rida "the girl you are clutching on, do you even know who she is?" Drake looks at her and then at Steve "she is my bride!"

"she's not your bride!" A voice came from behind the guards.

"Who the fuck are you?" Zeus shakes his head "ignorant" he murmured walking closer to him "someone who can kill you without a reason!" he says standing in between, surrounded by the guards.

"You-" one of the men says marching towards Zeus but before he could do anything he was shot down by Zeus's guard.

Drake looks at him in shock, "who are you!?" Steve looks at him "you know him, you always wished to meet him" Drake stares at Zeus trying to study and recognize him. He looked at him attentively, the Italian handmade suit, the watch, and the hair slicked back neatly.

"no!"

"yes, Drake!" Steve says standing behind Zeus. Drake leaves Rida, and takes steps closer to Zeus and a smile formed on his face "Master, I always wished to meet you, and can't believe you came to my wedding" Zeus looks at him and scoffs "wedding? do you call this a wedding? you are forcing my fiancé into marrying you"

Rida stares at Zeus blankly 'what is he talking about?' she thinks, Drake couldn't believe what he just heard, confused he looks back at Rida and then at Zeus trying to process what he just heard, and goes back to Rida

"what the fuck is he talking about!?" he asks, pulling her arms in front of Zeus.

"Steve!" Zeus stares Steve "yes, Master!"

"what do we do with people like him?"

"we do not let them live another second Master!"

Zeus looks at Drake "then what are we waiting for?!" he asks the guards. The guards started firing, Drake gets shot on his shoulder and drags Rida to his side using her as his human shield trying to not get killed.

Zeus glares at Drake "don't Drake!" Steve says knowing, this will make things more complicated. "Master, I had no idea she is the one you love, if I had any knowledge about it, I would have protected her instead of marrying her" Zeus stares at Drake, clenching his jaws and trying to control his anger "Marrying?"

"I mean forcing her"

Zeus glares at Drake "your negligence will kill you now" he says grabbing one of the guns from the guard "master please let me go, I promise you I will not show myself before you or Rida- I mean ma'am" Drake looks at Rida "please help me out Rida" he whispers "I'm sure you wouldn't want me dead"

"No Drake every part of me wants you dead" she murmurs glaring at him. Drake was not letting it go "you know your parents go to the same college every day and accidents can happen any time anywhere!"

"You!"

"tell him" Zeus knew he was trying to threaten her, and she will give in to him and, he didn't mean to kill him.

Rida glances at Zeus "let him go" she says trying to get rid of Drake who was clinging to her, Zeus looks at her "come here" he says holding his hand out for her. Rida looks at Drake who did not want her to leave, as once she leaves the guards will start firing and he will die.

"They will not hurt him just come here!" Zeus says walking closer to her and holding his hand for her.

Drake pushed Rida to Zeus and ran for his life and didn't even turn back. Rida was shocked to see how miserable he became seeing him, but why did he say Rida was his fiancé, who exactly was he?

Rida almost tripped on her dress but before she fell on the ground Zeus held her "I asked you to be by my side, but you don't listen, see what you got yourself into" he says pulling her up

Drake ran for his life and so did his goons, Stella ran to Bill and Aaira looked at him with uncertainty as he was not the one, she called.

Aaira walks closer to him looking attentively "who are you?" she says slowly, pulling Rida closer to her.
