Becoming Mrs Langston

In the box was a car key, and a note. 

The note reads, I bought your favorite color. Let me know if you love it. It's packed outside. 

Amy could not help but scream. Like a flash, she stormed out of the room to the reception and finally out of the hotel.

She saw a beautiful red Roll-Royce culinary.

"What! Amy exclaimed, she moved closer to the car and touched it. It is beautiful. 

Do you like your new car? A voice asked from behind. The voice startled Amy, she quickly turned around and saw Ragnar.

Trying to compose herself, she replied sharply, Yes, yes, I love it, Mr Ragnar, thank you very much sir.

Ragnar smiled lightly," I don't want you hopping in a cab henceforth, consider it your first pay for the contract.

Thank you, but… Amy paused.

Ragnar became curious. But, what?

Amy hesitated at first and whispered," I can't drive.

"You can't drive," Ragnar asked surprisingly.

Yes, I mean I once bought a small car, but Dan drove it most of the time, and I later had to sell it because of the boutique. 

Spare me the details. I am not interested. 

With this, he turned and walked away.

Seeing that he had gone back to the hotel, Amy jumped into the car excitedly. She admired every part of the car. Indeed, life does have a way of putting a smile on one's face.

Amy didn't understand how to describe Ragnar yet, he is both cold and nice to her.

Finally, it's Saturday, the civil wedding day.

Amy stood behind her bed admiring the boxes of gifts that had just arrived, her new dress, jewels, jewelry and bag for the occasion.

She couldn't believe she was getting married to a stranger on the same day she was supposed to get married to the love of her life while her boyfriend was getting married to her best friend. 

She felt the depth of betrayal down to her bone. 

Tears welled up in her eyes, it was a mixture of sadness and happiness.

There was a knock on the door.

Amy opened and was shocked to see Ragnar at her doorstep. He had never come visited since they both lodged in the suite.

"Hello, Ragnar.

Ragnar, who was still trying to understand the look on Amy's face, responded, Good morning Amy.

Good morning. Amy responded coldly and surprisingly.

We will be going to the courthouse very soon. Please make sure you are ready in one hour. Since you can't drive, we would both go in my car. 

Amy nodded. Alright.

Ragnar turned to leave but stopped. Curiosity made him ask, Have you been crying?

Amy wondered if there were still tears in her eyes, so she quickly cleaned her face. Not at all, I haven't been crying, I will be ready soon.

Ragnar wasn't convinced, but he nodded and left.

Amy got back to her suite, got dressed into her gorgeous white gown. The gown was designed with sparkling diamonds, coupled with a golden shoe and bag.

She gently wore her necklace and earrings, she slightly applied some makeup and picked up her bag.

As she was about to leave the room, she remembered something important she had to do.

She took out her cell phone and sent a text message to the old woman she had been to see the other day.

Hey, Granny, I wanted to know how everyone is doing. Please take good care of yourself.

With that, she felt relieved and left the room. 

Regnar was outside, he was discussing with John his driver when Amy stepped out graciously. She looked very beautiful.

Greg, who stood beside Ragnar, admired her, Wow! She is really beautiful. 

Ragnar raised his brows to see what Greg was talking about. He was impressed but pretended not to. He scoffed," Greg, you sure don't have eyes for good things."

Greg frowned his face slightly, he was very sure Amy's beauty was exceptional, Ragnar wouldn't just admit it.

"You won't be going to the venue with us, I will drive," Ragnar said to John, his driver.

Amy stopped in front of Ragnar, "Shall we?

Ragnar nodded, and he led the way to where the car was packed.

Surprised and curious, Amy asked, Why are we going in this car? It looks cheap, we can go in my car or, better still, your other car.

Ragnar chuckled, Are you going to get in the car or stand there and complain?

Amy knew she had little or no say. She got into the front seat and Ragnar started the engine.

Just to feed your curiosity, I don't want unnecessary attention. That is why I chose to drive a cheap car, satisfied now.

Amy nodded, and the rest of the journey was silent.

At the courthouse, the wedding was held by an official. They took the wedding vows and signed the marriage certificate. 

Once the wedding was done, Amy and Ragnar stepped out of the room, holding hands like real couples.

They walked graciously out of the house.

Just as they both stepped out, Amy was startled by the sight of Dan and Katherine, her worst nightmare.

They were obviously going to get married as well.

She wished she could avoid coming in contact with them or even have enough time to warn Ragnar about them, but it was too late, they were already in front of them.

See who we have here, I can see you survived" Dan said mockingly. 

Amy remained silent while Ragnar was curious. What's going on? Amy, who are these people?

Amy reluctantly said," This is Dan, my ex-boyfriend, and Katherine, his new girlfriend.

"Oh! I see.

Katherine laughed sarcastically, Hello Amy, I can see you are so desperate to get married today that you had to hire a man to pretend to be your husband. How shameless can you be?

Regnar smirked, he could not believe his ears. Young lady, I would advise you to watch your tongue," he turned to Amy. Amy, do your boyfriend and his new girlfriend know that your new husband is Ragnar Longston, the CEO of the Lewtana group of companies and several multi-billion companies in the country and abroad? 

Hearing that, Amy widened her eyes. She was more than shocked, she hadn't even found out the true identity of her new husband till that moment.

Dan and Katherine laughed very hard and Katherine managed to speak, Oh! Young man, stop the lies and pretense, you could be sued for impersonation. You know how on earth would you be Ragnar Langston? Like you said, Ragnar Langston is a multi-billionaire and not some errand boy like you.

Ragnar became furious. He couldn't believe Katherine had just insulted him.

Dan held Katherine's hand, "Let's go sweetheart.

"Not yet! Ragnar exclaimed, he held Amy's left hand and showcased the diamond ring on her finger. How can you both explain this?

Dan and Katherine could not believe their eyes, they were so shocked and surprised that they could not speak.

Seeing their reaction, Amy smiled, and she and Ragnar walked away, leaving the two of them to put the pieces together.

When they left, Katherine turned to Dan and asked, surprisingly, was that a real diamond ring I just saw or was I just hallucinating?

Dan tried to compose himself: Hell no! Amy can't possibly be married to Ragnar Langston, the CEO, trust me, it's just some sick game she is trying to play, it's either the ring is fake or it was rented. 

Dan, are you sure, because I am beginning to regret that I didn't kill that scumbag that day.

It's okay, let's just go in and get married. Remember today is our wedding day and everyone is waiting for us at the reception. 

Dan lifted his eyes and saw Amy and Ragnar entering their car.

You see what I was saying, see the car they brought.

Amy turned to see the car before Dan continued. If he was truly Ragnar Langston as he claimed, would he be driving this kind of car around?

Katherine was relieved, and she nodded. I almost believed their outrageous lie.

They both held hands and went into the courthouse.

Amy was very happy at the turn of events. She couldn't forget the shock look she saw on Dan and Katherine's faces, she was so pleased that she couldn't stop smiling. 

What is with the sheepish smile? Ragnar asked, having noticed the smile and happiness on Amy's face.

"What? 

I mean, you have been smiling since we left the courtroom. Care to share?

Amy laughed. Did you see the look on their faces? Oh my goodness, I am so excited, but, hold on, Ragnar, what is the bluf about you being the CEO of Lewtana group and companies? You don't have to lie to make them respect you, you are wealthy. That alone is enough.

Ragnar scoffed," So you also don't believe me?

"Common, such lies are hard to believe.

OK, then, we will see about that. 

When they got to the suite, Greg and John were already waiting for their return.

Welcome back Mr Ragnar Longston and Mrs Amy Longston. They greeted as soon as Amy and Ragnar stepped down from the car.

"Woo! I like the sound of that, Mrs Amy Longston, Amy whispered to herself as she walked side by side with Ragnar.

Ragnar heard her speak, but didn't hear what she said." I didn't get that?

"Oh! I wasn't talking to you, Mr Ragnar Longston. 

Ragnar headed to the suite that had been prepared for him while Amy went back to her suite.

As Amy opened the door to her suite, she couldn't believe what she had just seen.

"What! She exclaimed as her eyes scanned through the room.
