"No" he pouted as he crossed his arms

"Anita you can leave now, I will bath him myself and please get me his clothes from his room" Gold said to the nanny.

"Ok. Ma... I mean Gold" The nanny corrected herself and Gold

chuckled silently. 

"You can leave now" Gold said as she watched the nanny walk out of her room and Mike came dragging her hand.

"Mummy, come on Let's go into the bathroom" Mike said to Gold then she laughed and followed him into the bathroom.  Gold turned on the shower and bathed him properly and after bathing him she cleaned his body with a towel after which she wore him his black tuxedo suit.

"How do I look?" Mike asked giggling as he turned around for Gold to check him out.

"Breathtaking" Gold complimented with a smile.

"Really? but I still feel sad" Mike said

"Why is that?" Gold asked surprised

"Because you don't want to be my mother"

"Mike..." Gold called but he didn't give her the chance to finish what it was she wanted saying

"Will be my mummy?" Mike asked and Gold was about answering his question when someone interrupted them.

"Gold, you are still not dressed?" Esther said walking into the room.

"No, I should go bath now"Gold said as she rushed into the bathroom.

"Come on Mike. I'll take you to Anita so just allow Gold bath" Esther said as she took Mike with her out of the room and Gold didn't hear any more voices so she assumed they've left. 

When he finished bathing, she walked into her mother's room and saw that she was almost done with dressing and of course, Esther and Ella were in the room with her including two beautiful make up artist then Gold smiled at her mom and greeted.

"Miss Gold, we've been waiting for you. Come have your make up done"  

"Ok" Gold said as she sat down on the dressing chair and the make up artist worked wonders on her face.

"Wow, Gold you look so beautiful that Fredrick might end up eating you raw at the church" Esther gaped and Gold chuckled because hearing his name made her remember how much she has missed him.

"No one is eating my daughter raw" Irene rolled her eyes and chuckled softly.

"About eating someone raw, it looks like someone was eaten raw yesterday night" Esther added

"Uhmm and who could that be?"

"So Ella how was your night" Gold asked with a wink but Ella

blushed. 

"Fuck you Gold, I can't believe you actually set me up" Ella said.

"It wasn't a bad set up you know, so I heard you both had sex" Esther said with a grin and Ella blushed slightly.

"Fuck you girls" Ella referring to the both of them

"Actually, that was what you and Ethan did last night" Esther said and they all burst out laughing

"Argh, I hate both of you" Ella said and Gold laughed again at her facial expression.

"So what's up are you guys like dating now?" Gold asked

"I'm not answering that" Ella blushed again. 

"Wow, you should get an award for blushing"

"Shut up" Ella said as she rolled her eyes.

"Come on Ella, give us the gist"

"Fine, we are dating now" Ella squealed.

"Awwwwn you guys suit each other two crazy people" 

"Gold"

"OK girls enough with the jokes. We should head to the church now" Irene said

"But mum, what about dad?" Gold asked 

"He left for the church already"

"I can't wait to get married" Gold muttered.

"Actually, that's going to happen pretty soon" Ella winked.

"How do you know that?" Gold asked her suspiciously.

"You'll see" 

"What are you hiding come on spill it out" Gold said pleasingly

"Not happening" Ella giggled.

"Maybe Fredrick is planning to pop the question " Ella whispered and Gold blushed because she has been waiting for him to do that ever since. 

"Wait a minute, is he going to do it today?" Gold wondered because Ella did say maybe and Esther looks like she knows something. 

"Geez, I hate been kept in dying suspense" Gold complained inwardly untill Mike came running to her.

"Mummy" Mike ran towards her

"I thought you left already. You were supposed to leave with Esther and Ella" Gold asked in amazement because they had both left earlier in another car.

"No, I wanna ride with you" Mike insisted..

"Get in the car then"

"Yippee" Mike giggled happily and got into the car with Gold then he sat on her lap still giggling. 

"Come on Mike there is enough space in the car"

"But I want to sit on your lap" Mike pouted.

"OK" Gold smiled softly and he rested his head on her shoulders.

"Mama, have you thought about what I told you yesterday?" Irene asked her daughter and Gold nodded positively.

"So What's your decision?" Irene asked Gold 

"I will adopt him with Fredrick's permission of course" Gold said and she felt Mike giggle when she told her mum .

"You made the right decision Mama Thank you" Irene smiled through her veil.

"You don't need to thank me mom. I owe it to his parents" Gold replied stroking Mike's hair softly as they continued the drive to the church.

When they arrived the church premises, Irene alighted from the car in her A line High low ruffle wedding dress that was moderately long so Gold doesn't have to hold her dress. 

She also had on a ballet length polka dot wedding veil and her thin gold high heels wedding pump clicked at every step she took and she also had a beautiful presentation bouquet of flowers on her hands.

Gold also came down from the car with Mike putting on a pink chiffon halter V neck short bridesmaid dress and silver rhinestone stiletto heels then on her head was a pink rose crown and on her hands was a posy flower boutique.

"Finally" Esther giggled. 

"Welcome ma'am" the event planner smiled. 

"Good day to you Miss Jael" Irene greeted with a smile

"Uhmm, the doors will open soon and before I forget Esther, where is the wedding sign?" Gold asked.

"Right here" Esther handed the white on black printed wedding sign to her which had an inscription here comes the bride on it.

"There you go" Gold said as she wore it on Mike's neck because he's actually the pageboy.

"Where is Vick?" Gold asked.  

Vick is the flower girl and her mother is actually the elder sister to Vicks mum but Gold probably haven't seen since she was born because she lives in Delta and according to her mum, her aunt's husband is a very strict man who barely allows her leave the house so she's actually like a prisoner locked up in a big mansion. 

"There she is, It's a miracle that she is even here, maybe they sorted out their differences already" Gold thought

"Sister" Irene hugged her sister and smiled.

"I'm sorry, we are late" Tina apologized.

"It's okay Tina" Irene said.

"Wow, Gold you've grown so big now. The last time I saw you, you were actually a baby so I guess you don't remember me" 

"Yeah I don't but it's nice to meet you" Gold replied with a smile.

"Awwn, Vick looks so cute" Gold pouted holding her cheeks and she giggled. 

"She should probably be around five years of age" Gold thought but Mike interrupted her 

"She is not as cute as I am" Mike huffed.

"Come on, don't tell me you are jealous?" Gold giggled tickling him slightly.

"I'm not" Mike said trying to maintain a frown but ended up laughing.

"You got me. I'm... jealous" he said laughing.

"Wow Gold, you make a great mother" Esther said.

"She sure does" Irene said with a smile

"Ok everyone, the doors will open soon" Gold smiled trying to change the conversation and thankfully she did.

"Yeah. That's right" Ella concurred and Mike was made to hold Vivks hand and Irene also held her sister's hand since she was the one to walk her down the aisle. 

Gold stood behind Irene with Esther and Ella behind her as bridesmaids as well. The doors soon flung open and wedding songs emanated from the church and Collins was on a black suit with smiles plastered on his face.

His best man was right behind him, Mr Samuel. 

"I've seen him a couple of times, he actually resides in Canada.

You know how brides walk, too slow but I finally got to see Fredrick, he was dressed in a black tuxedo suit and damn, he looked so cute.

He actually sat at the front seat with Ethan and his eyes were on me which made me nervous. I bite my lips and stared at him then he winked at me and I blushed wishing he could kiss me right now because I missed him so much" Gold muttered inwardly.

"Nice eye raping session" Ella whispered.

"Shut up" Gold whispered and she giggled while they approached the altar.

When they got to the altar, Irene was made to face Collins.

"We are all gathered here today to witness the solemnization of holy matrimony of Mr Collins Macbeth and Ms Irene Johnson I declare the ceremony open in the name of the father, son and the holy spirit” The priest announced.

"Now to the groom; Mr Collins Macbeth, do you take Ms Irene Johnson as your lawfully wedded wife to love and to cherish her in sickness and in health; in riches and penury, till death do you part?" The priest asked and Collins noded with a smile as he answered.

"Yes I do"

"Now to the bride Ms Irene Johnson, do you take Mr Collins Macbeth  to be your lawfully wedded husband to love and to cherish him; in sickness and in health, in riches and penury till death do you part?"

"Yes I do"

Irene replied happily and Gold smiled inwardly as her

 mom and dad are finally a couple again.

"By the power vested in me as the priest of the most high, I hereby pronouce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride" The priest announced then Collins walked closer to Irene in smiles and lifted her veil up to reveal her face and Irene was seriously grinning, I mean who wouldn't be?

"I love you Irene" Collins muttered and planted a kiss on her lips. 

"Awwwn" Gold squealed happily and they soon signed their marriage certificate after which they departed in the same car to the reception.

Gold wrapped her hands around Fredrick's shoulders and kissed him passionately. His hand encircled around her waist and he kissed her back roughly and desperately.

They kissed like two horny couples who haven't seen themselves in years.

"I've missed you darling" Fredrick muttered staring at her eyes as they tried to catch their breath.

"Me too" Gold replied but suddenly Mike walked in.

"Mummy, who is he?" Mike asked and Fredrick gave her a confused look.

"How about we talk about this at home?" Gold said to Fredrick

"Fine, by me" Fredrick accepted.

"Hey I thought that kiss wouldn't end. We are off Gold" Esther winked as the car engine started.

"Enjoy yourself brother" Ethan grinned with his hands wrapped around Ella.

"Wow, they look cute together" Gold said to Fredrick

"Fuck you" Fredrick muttered then Gold spanked his shoulders.

"Ouch, what was that for?" Fredrick asked

"Freddie, there is a kid right here" Gold complained

"Oh" he muttered.

"Mummy, what's the meaning of Fuck you?" Mike asked Gold.

"Oh God" Gold muttered.

"What's his name again?" Fredrick asked

"Mike"

"Zach, that word is a very bad word and you should never mention it" Fredrick told Mike

"Why then did you mention it if it's bad?"

"This kid is smart" Fredrick muttered 

"Because you are a kid and I'm an adult" Fredrick responded and Gold chuckled. 

"Seriously? Come on Mike let's get into the car" Gold said

"Mummy is he your husband? Does that make him my daddy?" Mike asked Gold 

"Come on Mike, we are running late" Gold tried to change the conversation.

"Mummy loves to change conversations a lot" Mike said as he crossed his arm and they both stared at him in awe.

"I think, I like him already" Fredrick said to Gold

"Really?"

"Yeah, he's smart"

They were seated at the reception hall at the round table in the front. Fredrick sat beside Gold with Mike in the center and Ella beside Ella. Caleb and Esther were actually seated on a different table and he had earlier told Gold that he could only make it to the reception likewise Queen was also seated on the table.

"Amongst our special guest, let us make welcome; Mr Austin  for his enormous contribution to this wedding, please move to the front seat" The MC said.

"Wait a minute, are my ears deceiving me?" Gold asked

"No, they are not" Ethan muttered. 

"What the hell is Austin doing here?" Gold was forced to ask when she saw the look on his face.

 

"Bastard" Fredrick muttered under his breath obviously angry. "Who invited him here?" Gold asked and they both turn to  look at Ethan. 

"I didn't" Ethan raised both hands in the air.

"Actually, Gold I think you did" Ethan said

"Me" Gold asked shockingly until Ethan showed her the photos she posted on Instagram  

"So you mean I indirectly invited the devil to my mom's wedding?"

"I think you did"

"That's why I hate social media" Fredrick muttered.

"Are you still going to do it?" Gold heard Ethan whisper to his brother Fredrick.

"Why not? It will be even better if he's here"

"What are you guys planning?" Gold was forced to ask

"You'll see" Ethan said to her with a some on his face. 

"Wait a minute, are they planning to sell me?" Gold thought inwardly untill Austin approached them.

"Hey Cousin, I see you have a child that no one knows about. Gold, how about you opt for me now? My offer still stands" Austin said arrogantly revealing those rotten teeth of his.

"What a surprise Austin, I hear that your company is almost bankrupt yet you have money to lavish on weddings that do not concern you. You are not a good business man and I won't be surprised if your company falls soon" Fredrick smirked.

"How did Austin's company get bankrupt? Obviously Fredrick has a hand in it" Gold thought

"Is that a threat?" Austin asked a bit scared

"No cousin, it's an advice and stay away away from Gold and you won't get burnt" Fredrick warned.

"Let's watch and see Fredrick, the party just started" Austin smirked and walked to his table. 

"Oh oh, Austin's coming here will not be good" Ethan muttered.

"Mummy, who is that man? He looks like a bad man and I don't like him" Mike said to Gold

"That's right Mike, he is a bad man so don't talk to him" Fredrick warmed

"Fredrick" Gold called him a bit harsh

"What, he needs to know the truth"
