Chapter 30

☆☆✭✭✭✭✭✭★

"We are sorry for the inconveniences! But the plane won't be taking off at the schedule

time anymore"

I hope y'all forgive me for this, but I'm a little too soft hearted" the pilot's voice came through the already silent speakers.

The crowd cheered in approval. Why won't they? Each of them are glad they're going to save someone's love life and the incident of today will go down in history then they would proudly tell everyone till their grand and great grandchildren how they had saved the famous jayden Maxwell love life.

I sat in the arrival terminal, waiting for a miracle.

I tapped my back pocket, feeling the golden box there. I had bought a ring on my way here just in case she comes back.

"Hi" someone said awkwardly.

I raised my head up in surprise at the voice. I stood up on impulse and pulled her into a hug.

Hugging her felt like home, I didn't want to release her.

"Do you really mean those things you said?" She whispered

I smiled happily, ready to tease her but when I saw her serious and hopeful expression, I decided against it. Instead, I went down on both knees and produced the ring box from my pocket.

I opened the box and stretched it forward to her "This shows I meant everything I said, word for word. Will marry me, my fresh river?"

Her hands flew to her mouth in shock and her eyes glittered.

RIVERA'S 🎸

I stared at him with mixed feelings as he went down on both knees, think of what he was up to next.

He reached into his back pocket and produced a ring box.

My heart hammered in my chest, almost deafening me.

"This shows I meant everything I said, word for word. Will marry me, my fresh river?" He asked

My hands flew to my mouth and I nodded continuously, not trusting myself to talk.

I gave him my left hand to slide the ring into my finger.

"My love" I thought and looked at the ring with shining eyes then pulled him up from the floor.

I could hear the cheers and class from all the corners of the airport.

As several rose petals came falling on us..

We peered sweetly and were lovely at each other.

Damn he was fvcking handsome.

He pulled me into a passionate hug.

"Thanks so much Vera" He whispered lovely in my ears as his hot breath accumulated my ears.

I deepen the hug.. It felt good I never wanna pull out from the hug.

I wish we could remain in this position forever

It's time to let go of the hatred and tell him about how I feel.

****

"I love you master jay, I sincerely love you if not I would be long gone even before today." I admit sincerely and kissed his eyes almost bursted with how wide they were.

"Rivera…. Please repeat what you just said right now." He said gobsmacked by my

words.

"I said I love you." I said squeezing him so tight, feeling his breath on my lips.

"Oh my God, you just said you love me she said she loves." He said excited by my words which seems funny.

Making the crowd to roar more In merriment.

"Jayden I love you!!!!" I called out louder and he looked at me stunned and more surprised.

"You love me?" He asked again and I nodded in agreement. "Oh my God, she loves me." He shouted again and carried me rolling us around.

"You are so happy?" I asked him taunting.

"Am I the happiest man on Earth today or is this a dream? Am I in my dreams." I can't believe I actually fell for him too, despite all his cruelty towards me I learned something from this sometimes love and joy comes with both pains and sufferings it's now left for us to choose and decide.

And have decided to be with him forever, I choose him to be my love.

I love him and that's all that matters now.

MIDNIGHT 🌙 JAYDEN'S MANSION.

I cooed into his arms and cuddled him tight, as I breathed in his beautiful smell.

He touched my skin and rubbed it with teasing strokes, being in his arms makes me feel comfortable and safe.

Am happy that I actually love him.

"Rivera, can I ask a question." He said and I stared into his eyes.

"Of course you can go ahead." I replied and touched his Beard.

"Why didn't you tell me you love me sooner." He dropped the question and my heart leaped in joy.

It's an answer which you all know

"Well… If I should think about it, I was pretending." I said and giggled.

"When you said pretending do you mean…"

"Yes, I pretended as if I didn't like you, I lied to myself, and it's because of everything you did to me, I don't want to believe that I will love the man who maltreated me." I responded and he sighed.

"To be honest, if I was you I would have done much worse, am sorry for everything I did, I think I have loved you right from the day I met you, the Sex just clouded my mind." He replied trailing my skin with his fingers.

"It's all right I understand now." I replied and rubbed his chest.

"You do?" He asked.

"I do, and I love you." I responded and kissed him.

He smiled back and got on me, we both na.ked as our body collided in massive feelings.

He covered us with the blanket and am sure you know what happened next.

Sweet Sex.

*A week later*

JAYDEN'S 💜

Seated in a chair in one of the fanciest restaurants in town, I held Rivera's hand and she smiled as her eyes brightened with joy.

"So this is the date you talked about." She said and I smiled.

"Yes, do you like it?" I asked and she nodded in agreement.

"It's cool." She replied.

"The waiter will be here soon, I just want us to have all the fun you want." I said and she smiled brightly.

"It's alright." She replied.

"Excuse me please… Are you not that pretty girl, I saw at that party." A guy with a familiar face intruded us.

"Hmm… I think I have met you somewhere before." She gazed into space trying to remember something and suddenly she snapped her fingers, indicating she remembered something.

"yes you are that guy at the party." She added.

"How are you doing?" He stretched an open hand with a smile and it kinda pissed me off.

"Am fine." She replied smiling.

My, why am I suddenly infuriated by what's going on now.

I took a closer look at him and it was the guy from that party some months back, the night I decided to attend a ball function with Vera.

"If you don't mind can we talk outside." He asked ignoring me, he's quite rude.

"Hmm…. As you can see my man is right here with me and he wouldn't want that."

Vera replied which made my heart leap with joy.

She gave him exactly the words he needed.

"Ohh…. Am sorry." He said and left.

"I love you Vera." I said and she leaned in to kissed me.

"I love you more." She replied.

DAMON'S 💜

I sat at an extreme end of the restaurant,as the colourful multipurpose light flashes on me.

I puff on my cigarettes annoyingly, while continuously choking on it. Watching how happy Rivera seems happy.

She looks so elegant and more curvy and beautiful than the Vera I used to know.

I regretted ever letting her go.

I lost a diamond while chasing after a stone called Lana.

#Hiss

I peeked more at them,, feeling more jealous and envious of Maxwell..

I have lost the game for Life

3 months later

. JAYDEN'S

The church was filled with beautiful people in different attires.

Beautiful notes being played from the keyboard.

I stood at the altar with my heart racing in anxiety.

It's today, it's finally today.

I looked across the church and I saw Rivera walking towards the altar beautiful like a queen in her wedding gown.

while Betty was ahead of her throwing some rose petals.

Today actually marks the happiest day of my life.

She took her final steps on the alter facing me.

I can't wait any more.

Every eye was on us as the pastor called out the oaths.

"Do you Jayden's Maxwell consider taking Rivera GUNGU as your legally wedded wife and promise to do right by her till the rest of your lives." He said awaiting my reply.

I smiled broadly and said….

"I do." I replied.

"And do you Rivera GUNGU promise to do the same." He asked but no response came from Gloria as she remained in silence.

I looked at her anticipating her reply but none came.

"Do you Rivera GUNGU promise to do the same." He asked again and this time Gloria smirked at me.

"I…." She said and stopped for a while.

What is she going to say.

I do or I don't.

VERA'S 💃

slowly smirked at Jayden, my heart skipped a thousand beats, the joy was too much and I can't believe I am actually getting married.

Once again the pastor called the oath and I kept my silence trying to get my thoughts into reality it felt as if I was in my dreams.

"I… Do." I said in absolute joy.

"If so, I pronounce your husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." The pastor said and they all applauded us.

Jayden pulled me closer to him and we both kissed affectionately.

. ONE WEEK LATER🍭

BETTY'S

I sat at the little playing ground, just beside our mansion as I played the skipping ropes with my friends.

Wow! Am super excited this days.

I'm now a happy child.

Not the old Betty with sore dad

But a happy unicorn with two lovely and caring parents.

I thrilled that aunt Vera forgive and accept dad.

"Hand off Karen, and stand off you failed already." Cheery {my playmate} yelled loudly breaking my thoughts.

"Betty it's your turn to skip." She said while Karen hand me the ropes sitting on the bench.

"You go, while we do the counting,, and mind ya, we got our eyes on yah any little fault you will hand off." Cheery said seriously.

"Stop being so bossy cherry, it's just a game." Karen hissed.

"Don't talk to me you loser." Cheery barked angrily.

"Oh please, can you both stop it already." I yelled.

"Fine." Karen said with an eye roll. While Cherry cast her a disdain look.

UNKNOWN

I driver parked across the street as I watch many kids playing in a little playing ground.

Including my main target..

I looked at my skin feeling pity for myself.

My face was burnt beyond recognition.

Even tho I undergo several surgery I still look horrible. Even a gorilla is more finer than me.

I can't be alive,, leaving in agony while I watch Jayden leaves the best of life.

I think I will start with Betty.
