Chapter 1

DUMBSTRUCK

The scene before her suck out all breath out of her .

Watching the scene of two of most important people in her life sucking on each other's throats was enough to make her shell shocked .

Cerina had just returned from her six months internship from an international fashion industry in Manchester and also because it was her Fiancee's birthday so she decided to surprise him with her visit .

She had slept off in her room which was in his house by mistake during the process of waiting up for him but woke up due to the noise she was hearing ,she hastly walked to the room door and opened it but quickly closed it before opening it a little .

She thought it was a dream when she saw her fiancee Jake and Best friend Diana Making out on the couch in the living room without a care in the world .

She felt her body go numb because even saying she was Dumbstruck at this was an understatement .

Even tears refused to drop because of how pained she felt expecially as after hearing their conversation .

" When did you say Cerina was coming back ? Diana asked still straddling him ,they broke their kiss to catch their breaths .

" That would be next week or so , I'm not even bothered about that " Jake replied and Cerina eyes widened in shock , wait he didn't read her message earlier .

" Then when are you going to make her give up her Shares at SKYLAKE , it can't wait anymore we have to make you a shareholder too so you can also have a ground there " Diana whined while kissing all over his face .

" Don't worry that idiot loves and trusts me too much and I've decided to ask for it when she comes back I'm sure she'll trust it with me " he replied her proudly and Cerina felt like she had just being poured cold water .

So he had always been with her because of her shares in her own father's company ? What a joke !

" You have to break up with her quickly okay , I can't wait anymore our Two years of secret affair isn't going well with me , let's make it officially ,hmm? Diana told him and he nodded before they continued their make out session .

Cerina bit on her hand in other not to make any noise and she closed the door then dropped to the floor resting her back on the door .

" It's all good , at least I got to catch them before they made use of me completely , f*ck I've been fooled all these while " Cerina tried consoling herself before reaching out in her pocket to take out her phone and in the next moment she placed a call which went through immediately as though the other person has been waiting for the call .

" Tori , you were right all along " she told the person on the line who was confused at first .

" Uhn ? What do you mean? The lady at the other end asked .

" Jake and Diana ... They were in a relationship all along " she told her then took a deep breath as though calming herself which was actually what she was doing .

" What the f*ck !!! CeCe are you alright ? Where are you now I'll come to pick you up , don't think too much about it before I get there, okay ? Tori told her soothingly .

" I'm actually in his house ,I think they didn't know about my return , tell me when you get here I'll find a way to leave " she replied Tori and the call ended .

She remembered four years ago when Jake first approached her , he spent a whole year and half before finally getting her attention, then she was first year in college while he was third year . .

She had originally thought he was not serious about her until she discovered he was quite serious since he continued going after her even when he graduated from college .

She had originally accepted him because of his seriousness with her but later grew to love him but as for what she saw today ,she finally knew why he approached her in the first place or unless it was after he heard she had a large share in SKYLAKE from her .

The sound of her phone broke her from her thoughts as she saw a message from Tori , saying she was around .

Cerina stood up then opened the door slightly but didn't see anyone there but to be on the safer side ,she decided to pass the window instead ,well it's not the first time she'll do that .

Opening the window then looking out ,she saw her ladder which had been there since two years now . She glanced back in the room making sure she left nothing of herself ,even her Blue box containing her dresses had been packed .

A beautiful young lady with a deep long black hair with brown eyes was just below when she looked out the window .

" I knew you would come out from here , okay throw whatever you have with you I'll catch it " Tori told her and she nodded okay before throwing her Box ,then leaped out of the window slowly climbing the ladder before landing gracefully on the ground .

" Let's go quickly " Tori dragged her and her box and they headed for the gate where the security man was .

He knew both of them relationship with the master so he didn't stop them instead he greet them .

" Don't tell Jake about our visit today ,Mister it's a secret okay " Tori told the man who simply nodded okay . Even if he found them odd he had no reason to suspect them since the women in front of him were His Boss's fiancee and her best friend .

" Thank you sir ,have a great night rest " Cerina told him and they both got out then headed for Tori's car .

The moment they got to the car ,Tori turned to Her then started the car engine .

" So where are we headed ? She asked noticing Cerina was looking at the house they just left ,she felt angry just remembering how her friend was betrayed but she had Cerina to console so she had to swallow her anger .

" Star block club " She replied then turned to Tori with a smile .

" Let's go celebrate my freedom okay "

Chapter 2

WHAT IS SHE ? A SUPER WOMAN ?

" KYLE MIGUEL AUSTIN !!! A woman screamed angrily the moment he picked the call and he immediately took it away from his ear to avoid damage .

"Mom come on ,other people's Mothers call their children's names lovely ,what exactly happened by the way ? He frowned as he replied her .

" Did you dare to ditch the date I arranged for you today ,you literally stood her up for the whole day ,are you crázy !!!!! She screamed again and he scoffed .

" Oh , it's because of that ? I thought I made myself clear that I'm not going on any date ? He told her and could hear her scream again .

" Don't tell me you are still hung up on that b*tch that left you because I see no reason for you not to go on any date ? She asked ,her tone became a bit suspicious as she waited for his reply .

The moment he heard his Mom's word it was like a cold water was poured on him , was it because of her ? Of course not ,he just wasn't ready yet but His Mom wouldn't understand that .

" Cat got your tongue ? Can't you talk ? She asked concurrently .

" I'm busy right now ,I'll call you later " he hung up the call before she even replied ,then he took a deep breath .

His phone rang again ,he picked it up to see who it was then he picked it .

" Dude ,wanna hang out ? The whole Bunch is here ,even the wife slave Ryan is here ,ah ah ah " Leo ,the one who had call him asked . Then he heard someone else's voice in the background.

" So what if I'm a Wife slave ,am I the one who made you a forever single dog ?Ryan replied then followed by laughters in the background .

" Sure I'm on my way " Kyle replied before hanging up then he drove to the club .

~

On getting to the popular night club ' Star Block ' which was own by the Collin family ,one of the Top 5 Richest families in The country and Currently Managed by The family's youngest Son ' Leonard Collin ' The NO.1 Playboy in the country .

Kyle drove his car to the underground park before going in to their usual spot , he could hear their voices already .

The moment he pushed the door open ,the noises stopped as they all turned to look at him .

" Oh the Hunk is here " Leonard usually called Leo by his friends exclaimed while putting down the glass of wine in his hand , his hair which was scattered all over his face was dyed Blonde , he had a black botton earring on his left ear giving him a kinda girlie look ,he was probably more beautiful than most females . He was the Managing Director or rather the president of the Club .

" President Austin, fancy seeing you in months " Ryan greeted him ,a guy dressed in suit but had taken off his tie ,he was also handsome and A Surgeon ,he was the only one of the five that didn't went to the Military ,his family own the biggest private hospital and other businesses too in the country making them one of the top 5 richest in the country .

" You too , I never knew you all would be here though especially you , Kiara ,I thought you were getting engaged or something ? Kyle said to the only female among them ,she was a beautiful lady of 25 who was also a Military Doctor ,her family were into real estates ,also one of the Top 5 richest family in the country .

" Let's leave that to that and party the night away " Kiara ignored his questions and successfully diverted it to another way ,as the other three quickly brought up their glasses .

" Kiara ,want more cakes ? Dylan asked ,he was probably the closest to Kyle in terms of their secrets and all . He possessed the most aloof behavior among them and often called ' iceberg ' by his friends , The only Son of the former president ,who was now a successful business man .

" I'm not into cakes anymore ,I need to keep my figure you know " she told him with a smirk while he scoffed then shoved the cakes down his throat .

" Pftt ah ah ah ah .... Figure my butt ..ah ah ah " Leo laughed mockingly at her words and she frowned .

" Comrade Collins ,are you seeking for death ? She spat and he stopped laughing .

" What's with your sudden anger ,I was joking okay " Leo replied before standing up .

" I feel like going out ,who is in ? He asked and Kyle who had been silent all the while stood up .

" Then I'll go too, bye fellas " Ryan said then followed them out remaining Dylan and Kiara who were still having their wine .

" You should head home already it's late " Dylan told her and she turned to him .

" I'm not a kid dude okay ,I know when to go home" she replied while he simply continued with his wine pleasurely .

~

The three got out and sat at one corner quietly observing people in the club .

" It's nice seeing people have fun here , don't you think ? Leo advertised his work .

" Yeah yeah , whatever " Ryan replied him and when they turned to Kyle ,they found out he was focused on what was in front of him ,not only that but the fact that it was a lady he was staring at made Ryan and Leo turn to him again as if in disbelief.

.

" She was hurt ..... " He muttered with a mocking scoffed . " Just like I was " he concluded while the other two widened their eyes at who Kyle was talking about.

The lady was in a white long sleeved blouse and a jean trouser then a white and black Snickers adored her legs .

" Wow .... Who had the audacity to hurt a beautiful lady like her" Leo commented looking at her in adoration .

They were still on their sit watching the girl ramble on to her friend who was dressed in all blacks ,until her friend left to do something and she was alone .

Then suddenly a drunk man went to touch her shoulder and she turned to see who it was then as though concluding the person was of no importance ,she shrugged his hands away but he gripped her harder than before .

" Do I know you ? She asked and the man smiled devilishly .

" Well you don't know me but since you are pretty I know you " he said again reaching to touch her , the guys were ready to save her when they witness something that shocked them .

The girl had already flung the man down then started throwing punches on his face .

" How dare you bast*rd " she cursed and continued beating him , everyone focused on the commotion and were surprised ,she didn't stop until her friend came to pull her away from the man and the Man's friends came also to help him up .

" What is she ? A Superwoman? Or how could she beat up such a bulky man herself " Leo said in awe while Kyle had an amused smile on his face .

"Hmmm , interesting "

Chapter 3

THEY ARE MOTHERF*CKERS INDEED ...

On getting to the Club , Cerina and Tori went to their regular space after ordering drinks ,the Two girls settled down and Cerina began explaining her dismay .

" So they said all these ? Tori asked in shock and Cerina nodded yes .

" I should have known when she went to work in his company all of a sudden when we all had decided to create our own company when I'm back from my six months internship " Cerina added and Tori sighed .

They all had been surprised then when Diana had told them she wanted to work in Jake's company as a designer,she left with the excuse of monitoring Jake for Cerina . And now thinking about it ,it seems she was the actual one they should have been monitoring .

They were still discussing when Tori's phone rang and she checked the caller .

" Oh it's Jeanne , she must almost be here ,I'll pick this up okay ? She said and left to pick the call while Cerina continued her wine peacefully .

Whenever she remembers the scene she witnessed today , she'll gulp the entire cup at once before pouring another one .

She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned and saw a man with a creepy smile she shrugged him off until the person grappped her shoulder and she was forced to look at him again , she was drunk and angry at the same time .

" Do I know you ? She asked icily looking the man all over .

" You don't but since you are pretty I know you " the man replied with a sinister smile trying to hold her once more .

The angry Cerina got infuriated once more and flip him and he hit his back on the floor then she began raining punches on him .

" How dare you bast*rd " the continued punching and kicking at the same time ,not minding the ruckus she was causing , she felt kinda relief because she was seeing Jake and Diana's face , not until Tori pulled her from the man did she stop , the man's friends were there too .

" You b*tch ,how dare you.... " The man was fuming as he faced Cerina who was back to her drink nonchalantly listening to him .

" Miss , you have no right to beat someone to this extent " one of his friends confronted and she turned coldly to whoever had spoken .

" Ohhhhh , didn't you see when he was touching me like I'm a call girl ? Did I call him over here ? He got what he deserves " she said then smirked ,she looked at the man she just beat then suddenly laughed .

Tori was having a terrible headache already .

" Don't hope for my apology because I won't give one , you think I'll love to spend the night with you ? She asked ,the man was kinda handsome though ,he looks in his early thirties .

" No sorry ,I don't f*ck dudes with pie sized d*ck " she said and everyone gasped .

" CeCe language ! Tori cautioned but the lady in question continued drinking as though she never said anything .

The man couldn't stand on his own so his friends him still ,he wanted to hit her when she suddenly turned to him with her icy eyes .

" You need an amputation ? She suddenly asked and he quickly retreated .

" Let's go quickly ,she's a psycho " he told his friends and they left .

The moment they left ,she sighed in relief ,she knew what she did was wrong but she didn't feel the bit sorry because he deserves beating .

" Babe you were cool just now , don't tell me you passed your aggression onto the man ? Tori said laughing ,then suddenly someone sat beside them .

" What's fun did I miss ? Jeanne asked and they turned to her .

She was a lady identical to Cerina ,one look and you'll get confused which is which but if you look closely , you'll know their difference .

Cerina had black eyes and Jeanne had Hazel ones . And their hair colors were different , except these their body shape is another factor ,Cerina has a very curvy structure unlike Jeanne ,she's curvy but not very .

" CeCe beat some guy up " Tori replied and Jeanne looked at her sister in Surprise ,they all knew her reputation of being the softest human on Earth which she tries to maintain at all cost but since she's broken at the moment ,she had no restraint .

" Pftt ,ah ah ah , the guy is rather unfortunate " Jeanne laughed so hardly that tears were already brimming in her eyes .

" Did you tell brother yet ? Cerina suddenly asked Jeanne who went silent immediately , she went gloomy .

" No I didn't , let's tell him tomorrow ,I'm sure he's busy tonight ,if we tell him now he might charge into That bast*rd's house this very night and he must be tired , that's what I thought " Jeanne explained and Cerina nodded in agreement .

" I can't believe Diana of all people would do that ,I mean we've been friends for almost fifteen years and this is how we end ? Let's not talk about Jake ,I never liked him you know " Tori complained .

" I guess from here we say life goes on , I'll get over it someday" Cerina added .

" Yes bes, there are thousands of guys in the world who are responsible let's not stick to the motherf*ckers " Tori affirmed .

" They are Motherf*ckers indeed ,we are here with you sis and you know that " Jeanne told her and Cerina nodded positively .

" Come on let's get you home we'll sneak in since we don't want anyone to find out this night " Jeanne suggested and the girls agreed , they got up and started leaving .

Since Jeanne came in her car ,She and Cerina left in it while Tori left in her own car .

***

It was early next day ,Mrs Wyatt had just finished preparing breakfast and she called into her children ,Jeanne who was just coming from her room was the first one to hear her .

" Anne call your brother and sister , breakfast is ready " she told the girl who left for her Brother's room first .

On the first knock there was a reply and she entered .

A guy in his late Twenties was busy on his Tablet when he heard footsteps and looked up ,his handsome face broke into a smile on seeing his sister .

He had the kind of face which could easily sweep ladies off their feets but his sisters were already immune to it .

" Come and have your breakfast ,I'll go get Cerina " she told him and he nodded okay .

" I'll be down in few minutes " he replied and she went out ,on getting to Cerina's room ,she didn't bother knocking but entered directly .

Cerina was sitting by the window staring into space when Jeanne entered her room .

" Let's go have breakfast , We'll tell brother at the table " Jeanne suggested , seeing ever cheerful sister in a broken state made her feel like tearing Those betrayals into bits .

" Sure " She replied forcing a smile and they both went out together ,they met their brother Ace just as they opened the door .

At first glance at his sisters expecially Cerina ,he knew something was wrong .

" Ce what's wrong ? He asked with a frown .

" Ace you have to tear Jake and Diana into pieces for our Cerina ,they hurt her " Jeanne quickly explained before Cerina could stop her .

Ace looked at them in confusion before it finally ring a bell in his head what they meant .

Chapter 4

NO ONE HURTS MY SISTER AND LIVES

Ace was momentarily shocked before he digested what Jeanne had told him . Cerina only lowered her head while biting onto her lips in other to stop herself from breaking into tears .

She had thought it was alright yesterday ,not until she woke up earlier in the morning to remember what she saw last night ,she promised herself never to cry but she couldn't help it , she loved Jake with her everything and there is Diana ,her supposed best friend too , everything seemed surreal .

" I swear I'll tear him to shreds , No one hurts my sister and lives " Ace said already walking away angrily but was held back .

He glanced at the hand holding him and seeing Cerina he paused his lips .

" Can you let me handle them myself ? She asked now looking up at him with her already Misty eyes .

" How do you want to do that ? He asked and suddenly she had a mocking smile on her face .

" I'll think about it "

He sighed and nodded okay and Cerina smiled ,Jeanne who was watching from the side started walking down the stairs .

" First of all we have to call off your engagement " she said as she walked away .

The two remaining also agreed with that then they walked to where their parents were .

The Wyatt family are one of the richest families in the country , although they were not part of the top 10 richest but certainly they were part of the top 20.

The Wyatt co operation which was famous for mostly producing Electronics was created by Cerina's Father Barrett Wyatt who died alongside his wife Serenity Wyatt in a car accident 15 years ago , leaving their only daughter Cerina in the care of his Twin Brother Garrett Wyatt .

Cerina and Jeanne were born on the same day but different time ,in the same room of the same hospital which was the major reason people call them Twins and they even looked alike since their fathers were twins they took after their facial features . To the outside world ,she was the Twin sister of Jeanne and Daughter of Garrett and Paulina ,not many knew her real parent.

When the three got to the dinning area they saw their parent there already having their breakfast .

" Good morning Mom and Dad " the three said in unison while taking their sits .

" Morning kids " Mrs Wyatt said then on noticing Cerina's odd expression she furrowed her eyes .

" Nana what's wrong ? She asked worriedly ,she knew her daughter's behaviors the most so she concluded something wrong must have happened .

Jeanne who couldn't keep her mouth shut was the first to speak .

" Mum everything is wrong actually because we need to cut of CeCe's engagement with that b*stard Jake " she spat angrily , she lost her appetite already .

Garrett and his wife were confused but seeing their kid's behaviors they believe it was something very terrible .

" He cheated on her ? Paulina asked ,she was the first to comprehend what Jeanne said .

" It would have been better if it was only that ,but the lady he was cheating on her with was no one other than that b*tch Diana , they were snakes all these while trying to take advantage of Cerina because she was too innocent " She added again in fury .

Ace and Cerina ate in silence while Jeanne did the talking but we're forced to stop when Paulina slammed her hand on the table .

" How dare they !!!! Don't worry we would help you teach them a lesson " Paulina told her and Cerina looked up at them .

" I wasn't planning on getting revenge on them though " she replied and everyone looked at her in confusion .

" Sis , don't tell me you'll leave them be ? Jeanne asked ,she of all people couldn't accept that , naturally she was a violent person .

" Umm, I just have to break our relationship and pretend as though we never knew one another , honestly I don't think revenge would solve anything ,so everyone would you leave this to me " she explained looking at them one by one finally settling on Jeanne who was boiling .

" Expecially you sis " she added but Jeanne gritted her teeth then stood up .

" I didn't promise you anything I'll get my revenge expecially on that b*tch ,she cheated us even after over 15 years of friendship " she said and stormed out .

Cerina smiled slightly then turned to her brother who was Currently drinking water .

" I support whatever you do ,but know that you have to move on ,we are here for you " he told her while patting her shoulder before leaving ,she simply nodded in response .

" Don't worry about calling your engagement off , only one call is needed and you'll be free from him " Garrett told her with a reassuring smile .

" Thanks Dad " she replied .

Jeanne and her Mom Paulina had same bad temper while Ace and Garrett were same ,they were always calm .

Paulina wasn't happy with the outcome but she didn't want to make things difficult for her so she just smiled .

" Don't worry trashes like him are much nowadays , you'll certainly meet someone way better " She told Cerina who smiled in response .

Well that was true ,Jake wasn't the only man on Earth .

~

Cerina was in her room reading a book when she had a call and looking at it it was Tori so she picked up .

" Hey Bes ,do you have time on Thursday? She asked the moment Cerina picked the call .

" Yeah I have time throughout this week , why ?" she replied.

" Stella is coming back and I've told her what happened , and certainly you know her well she's coming back in state of fury so we should all gather at the base and have good time together " she explained .

" Sure nice and please can you help me investigate Jake and Diana's matter ,I need evidence " she asked Tori who laughed in response .

" What do you have this ' better than paparazzi ' bestie for ,of course give me an hour I'll send it to you " she replied and Cerina smiled then hung up .

Cerina ,Tori ,Jeanne ,Diana and Stella had been friends since they were 8 , that was when Cerina's parents died and she had to come live with her Uncle and together they moved to a new city where they met Tori ,Diana and Stella when they started a new school and the girls had been friends since then .

Chapter 5

I WISH YOU GUYS MANY MORE YEARS OF JOY

Each of the girls had hidden backgrounds which none of them ever tried to pry unless the party involved is ready to tell and as of now ,Stella is the only one with the hidden background because subsequently the girls revealed who they truly were to one another .

Tori at first was disguised as an orphan but later they found out that her father was The Chairman of the Famous ' Starlight Entertainment ' The biggest entertainment company in the country. She was only hidden because of an attempt on her life .

Jeanne had no issue with her background ,she was the first to reveal who she was ,then Cerina who they thought was actually her Twin sister was her cousin.

Diana's family were the least among them in terms of social status and riches ,her parents were wealthy but not up to the others .

And Stella the mysterious one was agreed to be the richest because of her aura and what they've seen so far . She fitted the title of a Stubborn and mischievous Princess . She was the most childish actually and Tori was the most matured of them .

An hour later ,Cerina who was watching a movie heard her phone beep and she checked it ,it was a message from Tori . She clicked it and saw disgusting photos and videos of The two making out and other stuffs like them on dates .

Under the photos was a message ' Diana is actually vicious , I never knew it was up to this '

Cerina took a deep breath then texted ' Thanks a lot ' to Tori before heading for the bathroom . She took a bath and got dressed in her usual dress style . A Turtled neck Cream blouse , Black Jean trouser and Black Snickers then making her hair in a messy bun ,grabbing a Brown leather jacket , She flagged her Black handbag on her shoulder before heading out .

She wasn't actually looking like someone whom her fiance cheated on ,instead looking like one who was going on a date .

She drove directly to Jake's Company but actually it should be called their company because she invested a lot in it but now she's not interested in anything he was associated with .

The moment she got in, the security and everyone around greeted her cheerfully because they knew she was a board member and the Fiancee of their boss and on top she was very friendly to them .

Then they noticed something else ,she wasn't the usual cheerful self of hers ,she seemed unusually calm ,simply smiling to them and walked directly to the CEO's private elevator which took her directly to his office .

The moment the Elevator got to the 15th floor she alighted and the secretary outside greeted her .

" Is your boss in ? She asked immediately Making the Secretary frown ,she realized something was wrong immediately . She usually called her boss ' My Jake ' so what's with ' your boss ?

Cerina faced the printer so she could print out the photos that was sent to her .

" Ye... I mean no , he's in a meeting " the secretary immediately corrected because the Boss was actually in with Another woman who she knew was her best friend .

She actually felt pity for her because she was just being used .

Cerina sneered in her heart listening to the secretary's response .

She Already knew the reason he was always in a meeting whenever she came to his company ,he was in a meeting with her best friend .

She felt hurt remembering how stupid she had been but quickly recovered and glanced at the secretary .

" You should stop covering for your boss in the future it wouldn't help anyone " she replied and walked away entering the office directly .

The secretary was stunned , She already found out ? No wonder she changed the way of addressing him .

The moment the door opened the two in the office looked towards it thinking it was the secretary .

" Mara , didn't I tell you not to come in whenever Diana is here ? He asked angrily without looking at who it was .

Diana on the other hand didn't stop what she was doing as her hand explored his body .

" Which was why I came in instead " Cerina replied finally appearing in front of them and on hearing that voice ,Diana stopped what she was doing immediately and looked at her in horror ,Jake was frozen .

Cerina smiled mockingly while looking at them both .

" Why ? Surprised ? She asked taking a seat on the couch in front of the table the two were making out .

" Wh...why are you here ? When did you come back ? Jake asked after composing himself ,Diana was already off him and they both stood behind the table looking at Cerina who had a nonchalant look staring at them also .

She smiled at his question before replying .

" Why can't I come ? Even though I'm not your Fiancee anymore ,I'm still one of the board of directors here and also a major shareholder which means I can come anytime " she replied with a shrug .

" What do you mean you are no more my Fiancee ,Cerina let me explain it's not what you think it is " he said and she looked up at him coldly .

" Oh, you mean you still need me for the shares in my Dad's company " she asked placing a hand on her chin as though thinking then suddenly she clapped seeming to remember something .

" What was that word again ? ' That stupid girl Trust me too much that she can give it to me the moment I ask' was that the word ? She asked no one on particular and the Two others were frozen . How did she know that ?

" Well let me tell you a secret , on your birthday I was there before you guys came in and started displaying your viciousness , but don't worry I have no plan for revenge , I wish you guys many more years of joy and happiness and I hope when next you see me you pretend we never knew one another " she said with a smile ,but deep down only she knew what she was saying was doing to her .

" And you " she said facing Diana whom she had ignored .

" At least you successful did one thing in your life , I hope I would never come across you ever and if we do pretend you don't know me " she said , placing the printed out Photos of both of them on the table . Then looked at it as if admiring the photos .

" The photos are actually well taken " she commented before walking away.

She stopped at the door and faced them " Goodbye " she walked out .

On getting to her car she drove straight to a lake side , it was where she met Stella for the first time ,the latter had said it was her Family's property so they often go there to relax themselves .

She parked her car and ran towards the lake then dropping in front of it crying her heart out .

" This is the last time I promise " she muttered to herself like a matra ,she was never going to cry for them again .

She poured out all her sadness hoping the lake would wash them away .

" Crying wouldn't actually solve anything ,I believe they don't deserve your tears " she heard a deep voice behind her and glanced up a little but all she saw was a stretched handkerchief which she took with a ' thank you ' .

" You took that without confirming it contained poison to make you sleep off ? The voice asked amused and she had to look up at the person talking .

" Well a killer wouldn't try to console someone " she replied with a shrug , getting up ,she seems to have gotten better .

She turned to the voice and saw a guy staring down at her with a smile ,he was a very ,no , extremely good looking guy . His face alone is enough to make someone imagine how Angels look like .

His starry black eyes twitched when he saw who it was ,he remembered the lady he saw in the club days ago ,she looked more beautiful during the day .

Chapter 6

WELL LIFE GOES ON!

" How do you know I'm crying because of an heartbreak ? She asked him and he smiled a little .

" Well " he said sitting on the floor beside her and she did the same.

" You wouldn't be here if someone died " he replied with a chuckle then looked at the lake in front .

" Actually it's because I can relate " he added and she turned to him .

" 6 months ago I was in your shoes , My ex girlfriend cheated on me with my cousin , I was actually coming to propose marriage to her that day but what I saw shattered me and I came here to let it out " he said suddenly laughing as he remembered that day even though it wasn't funny .

Cerina knew his laugh wasn't an happy one because it didn't seem like one . He must be hurting like her even after all these while .

" Well life goes on " he told her and she agreed .

" He was actually my fiancee though , I think the reason I'm hurting more is because One is my best friend , we've been that for over ten years almost fifteen years now and the other was supposed to be my fiancee and worst of it all they were planning to steal my inheritance " Cerina explained , she knew he was a stranger but nevertheless she felt safe telling him about herself .

At least he was someone who understood her better than others ,since they were same .

" I think we are almost alike because she left me thinking I was poor and wouldn't be able to take care of her and went for my rich cousin " he said with a ridiculing laugh .

" I think it's all for the best ,even God knows she wasn't the best for you which was why he took her off your tail " she told him and he nodded in agreement .

" I'm Kyle and you ? He introduced .

" Cerina " she replied .

" You have a lovely name " he commented .

" Well everyone say that " she replied laughing then suddenly her phone vibrate in her pocket , she took it out and it was Jeanne ,she picked up immediately .

" Sis ,where are you ? She asked worriedly ,they have been searching for her everywhere no one knew where she went .

" oh I'm sorry my phone was on vibration and I didn't notice " she replied noticing the various missed calls .

" I'll be home soon , don't worry I didn't drown myself or something " she added with a laugh before hanging up .

Then she looked towards Kyle who was already walked away .

" Nice chatting with you Kyle ,I hope we meet again ,I gotta go " she told him and he smiled then she got to her car and drove off .

~

It was The day the girls were to go pick Stella up at the airport.

Since her arrival was 9:00 am the girls went 8:30 so they wouldn't be late .

At exactly 9:00am ,the plane arrived and the girls looked out for her .

A lady dressed in a Pink knitted blouse ,black Jean trouser , black eye glasses dragging a blue travel bag walked towards them .

She was a blonde and very beautiful ,her hair was packed in a neat bun as she wore a smile walking towards her friends .

" Hi ladies " she smiled before hugging them each then stopping at Cerina she smirked .

" So you are now single and available for my brother to pick" she said with a laugh and the others joined in the laughter since it's not the first time she'll say it .

She had never liked Jake and Cerina together since she believed only her brother deserves her , although none of the girls knew who her so called brother was ,they figured he must be one successful person.

" Let's go " She added ,dragging Cerina with her while the others followed behind .

They got to the car they brought and they all boarded while Tori took the Driver seat with Jeanne beside her and the other two at the back .

" So we are going to Epicure Hotel right ? Tori asked before igniting the engine and the others agreed .

It was where they often gather together for discussions , Celebrate their Anniversaries or any special occurrences , it was own by Cerina and Jeanne's Aunt ,that is their fathers younger sister ,Aunt Emily ,which is currently controlled by her Only Son and child ,David . He also got sister complex like Ace , since Jeanne and Cerina were the only females in their family the males were very protective of them .

They drove into the underground park and entered the hotel through the VIP elevator . The girls went to their usual room , exclusive for them alone and ordered their meals .

" We'll order same as usual but add Chocolate chip walnut to mine " Jeanne told the waiter .

" Green tea matcha latte ,add that to mine too " Stella said and the Waiter nodded okay before leaving .

" So according to what I heard ,you caught them in the action two times? Stella asked and suddenly bursted to laughter .

" Babe I told you Jake wasn't the guy for you but you didn't listen " Stella added sipping the Apple juice in front of her .

" We all said it, well except the betrayer Diana ,she was the only one who supported you guys " Tori added and the girls signed .

" We all never saw that coming " Cerina said with a nonchalant attitude.

" It's almost fifteen years since we've been together and she could do that because of a man , who knows what else she has been doing behind us and to think they wanted your inheritance too is actually a blow on the matter " Stella said puffing her cheeks in anger .

The door opened revealing the waiter who brought their orders and the girls began eating .

" Let's forget about them , So CeCe you and Jeannette are the only single ladies in our group " Tori said laughingly .

" I remember she always says that to us " Jeanne added and they all laughed .

" You guys should stop it , I'm heart broken doesn't mean I'll lock my heart from others " Cerina told them and they all turned to her simultaneously .

" Don't tell me there's another guy ? Stella furrowed her eyes . But Cerina didn't reply but continue stuffing the Cheesecake in her mouth .

" Uhn uhn ,is it the guy you met at the lake ? Jeanne asked with an eyebrow raised and an amused smile curled her lips .

What she said piqued the other's interest as they sat well to listen to the rest of the story .

" She said she met a guy at the lake whom she Could relate with herself ,she said he was extremely good looking " Jeanne the Reporter of the day explained .

" No way , was it love at first sight ? Tori asked with a smirk but Cerina smiled instead .

Chapter 7

DID MY BROTHER JUST LOST AGAIN

The girls stared at Cerina's smiling face and all bursted to laughter .

" Are you blushing? Stella asked and Cerina glared at her .

" Oh wow ,she just got an heartbreak but fell for another guy two days later , ah ah ah ah " Tori added laughing .

" Why am I not happy ? Stella said wiping her fake tears ,the girls laughed again .

" Because he's not your brother " Jeanne replied and Stella fake sobbed more .

"Did my brother just lost Again ? She murmured wiping her fake tears .

" Tell your brother he still has chance, it's just a crush who knows if the guy is not interested " Tori said .

The girls continued discussing until it was getting late and time to leave .

" Tell me how far is your relationship with Theo , I bet the poor guy doesn't know you are back ? Jeanne asked Stella who laughed in reply .

" I'm going to hide for a few days unless he caught me I'll show myself next week " she replied and the girls shook their heads at her and silently piting the poor guy who was unfortunate to have a Fiancee like her .

" I'll go use the washroom " Stella told them on their way out and Jeanne followed her while Tori and Cerina continued walking .

" So Cerina what's ... ? Tori wanted to asked the name of her new crush when she saw her looking ahead and she followed her gaze then it settled on Jake and Diana who were exiting an elevator in the hotel heading out .

" What a pleasant life they are living " Tori said mockingly and Cerina smiled , the two from afar seemed to have seen them ,they also stopped and started walking towards them .

" Hi " Jake said to the two of them and Cerina raised an eyebrow at them ,she thought she told them to ignore her when they see her but it seems they don't listen .

" So why are you here ,to gloat about your relationship or are you trying to see if she'll cry because of you both , it's totally impossible so you both better get your dirty selves out of here ,infact you are polluting the air " Tori spat at them angrily .

Diana forced a smile and said to them .

" We used to be friends for a very long time ,yes we are sorry but do you have to curse out loud " She said and Cerina suddenly started laughing as though she had heard the most impossible thing in the world .

" Maybe you don't know but being friends with you has been the worst thing I've ever done in my life and knowing you guys is .... What was it again ? She turned to Tori who completed it for her .

" The most disgusting thing ever ,you guys are worst than shit"

" Cerina , I know you are still angry with me but ..." He was still talking when he was interrupted .

" Cerina ? A voice called from behind and she turned ,her eyes lit up at who she saw , it was that face she had been seeing in her head for the past three days . She didn't know why but he left a great impact on her after that day .

" Kyle " She exclaimed smiling ,even Tori was shocked , she hasn't seen her smile like these in a week and suddenly she's smiling to this godlike guy , don't tell me ..... She suddenly figured who he might be .

" We met again " he said with a smile and looked around her .

" Oh this is my Friend Tori ,Tori this is Kyle " she introduced them . Tori who was in a daze staring at his impeccable face came back to her senses and smiled at him .

" You must be the lake guy ? She asked and Kyle glanced at Cerina then back at Tori ,confused at first .

" Oh yeah that's me " he replied awkwardly then glanced at the two in front of him ,he knew who they were but he decided to ask her with his eyes though .

" Oh those at the front aren't important ,i don't know them actually " she replied and Diana and Jake gasped at what she just said ,Tori was trying her best not to laugh .

" Well I saw you from afar and wanted to confirm if you were the one ,nice seeing you again ,if we meet the third time then we are fated " he said whispering into her ears and chuckled but Tori heard it. He dug his hand in his pant pocket then smiled walking away and Cerina watched him as he did so , completely forgetting her surroundings .

" Bes ,no wonder you were over him ,even I myself is crushing already " Tori said and Cerina glared at her .

" I'll tell Ace when I get home that his Fiancee is crushing on an handsome guy " she said and Tori smiled slyly .

" Is that why you are angry or you don't want my eyes on your man to be? She asked wiggling her eyebrows and Cerina laughed .

They had totally forgotten about the two in front of them ,Jeanne and Stella who went to the rest room returned but when they looked in front of them ,Diana and Jake were gone . Guess they were afraid of Goddess Stella famously known as Stella the Terrible . The name people call her in school ,she was a big bully herself .

" So why were you guys giggling expecially Tori ,did Ace give you a call or something ? Stella asked and Tori turned to them with a wide smile .

" Cerina's crush just left, the guy is sooooooooooooooo hottt " she explained giggling and Jeanne laughed .

" One would think he was your crush " Jeanne said .

" If Cerina wasn't eyeing him and I didn't have a Fiancee ,I would have been into him , he's very handsome and seems like a good person " she added and Stella gasped .

" Detective Tori actually said he's a good person that means he is then ,what a pity I didn't see him , doesn't that make my brother fail totally " Stella said faking tears again .

" Last but not the end he said before leaving ' if we meet the third time then we are fated ' oh my he was so manly with that husky voice " Tori fangirl the more while Cerina was Frowning already .

" Wait that means he likes her too ,uh uh uh ,our girl has another admirer a better one at that " Jeanne said pulling Cerina's cheeks while the later slapped her hands away .

" Let's go home , it's late already " She said walking away hurriedly leaving the others .

" Wait for us " they screamed after her and they ran following her out .

Chapter 8

BLIND DATE

At the highest building of Mallory Corporation ,sat a young man , the Ray of sun peeping through the window shone on his well crafted heavenly face , his hands propped on his chin as he stared at the tablet on the desk reading the mails on it .

The door creaked open but he didn't lift up his head but continued what he was doing .

His Assistant, Alan ,walked up to his desk then stopped before stating why he came . He took a deep breath to calm himself for whatever the outcome of his message would bring ,he knew his boss was like fire and ice ,some times hell would break and another time he'll just be calm as though nothing happened .

" Your Mom wants you to come home immediately after work , also adding that if you don't come as she said she'll go to your house and drag you with her " he stated looking at his boss through his lashes waiting for him to either get angry or dismiss him .

Kyle looked up from the tablet and frowned at Alan .

" It's like you don't want your job anymore , I told you not to pick her calls didn't I ? He spat angrily and Alan flinched .

' what was I supposed to do when she kept calling ? He sobbed in his mind .

Kyle took a deep breath then faced Alan again who had his head bowed .

" If she calls next time tell her I....." He was still speaking when Alan's phone rang ,he looked at the name and faced his boss .

" It's Madam " he said and stretched it to him .

Kyle took the phone and picked up immediately .

" Alan have you told your boss my message ? She asked and Kyle scoffed .

" You are too desperate for this ,so tell me what I'm coming to do at your house ? He asked narrowing his eyes as though she was in front of him .

" Oh my wonderful son it's you " she said excitedly and Kyle chuckled , his Mum could be dramatic at times .

" So this is It , You know my best friend's daughter ,the one I used to talk to you about then , I want you both to go on a blind date , he he he he , I'll be so happy if you'll go on this one ,even her late mum wanted you as her son in law so please son would you do this for me , don't worry she's different from the other girls ,she's very beautiful and well mannered " his mother explained and he sighed .

" I thought you said she was engaged ? He asked confused .

" Oh it turned out that b*stard wasn't serious with her so baby fulfill Mummy's wish " she said and he knew he couldn't refuse because he knew how precious that so called Best friend's daughter was to his Mom .

Guess he'll just attend and tell her he wasn't interested .

" Okay sure " he replied and his Mom jumped excitedly that even the Maids were looking at her strangely .

" I love you baby , the date is tomorrow ,bye bye " She said and hung up .

Kyle heaved a sigh then returned the phone to Alan .

" Clear my schedule for tomorrow I wouldn't be around " he said and without waiting for a reply he strodded out .

' wait ,what ?Boss listened to his Mom for once ' he exclaimed in his mind though .

~

" Do you think I should have collected his contact number ? Cerina asked Jeanne who was tired of her asking questions .

" Well you should have ? Jeanne replied nonchalantly as she continued operating her phone .

Cerina pouted while hugging her pillow closer , she laid beside Jeanne poking her by the side .

Jeanne was about complaining when they heard a knock on the door .

" Anne ,Nana are you in ? It was their Mum's voice .

" Yes " they replied in unison and the door was pushed open .

" Your Dad asks for you both " she said and the girls stood up from the bed and headed out .

Their Dad was sitting on the couch sipping his coffee when the girls arrived and they sat beside him .

" Dad, Mom said you were looking for us ? Jeanne asked and he nodded in assent .

" Actually the call is for Cerina but I want you here too " he replied and the girl nodded okay .

" Cerina ,your Mom had a best friend ,I'm not sure if you'll remember her , she goes by the name Chloe , yesterday she called me and told me she'll love you to go on a blind date with her Son , actually your Mom and her have always wanted you both to get married but since you both choose different partners before so she cancelled it but now you both are single so would you like to try it out " he explained and Cerina looked down sadly .

Since she was quiet Jeanne decided to help her because she knew what she was thinking .

" Dad ,Cerina has a guy she's interested in " she told him and he was surprised.

" Really ? He asked and she nodded yes ,he sighed .

" You don't have to marry him , you can just go and explain it to him then , because I heard it was hard for his mother to convince him too so it's better if you explain it to him yourself okay " Paulina told her and she agreed .

" Sure I'll do that , thanks Mum and Dad " Cerina smiled .

" You should bring the guy you are interested in home someday " Garrett told her and she nodded okay .

" Someone she doesn't even know his contact number " Jeanne teased and Cerina frowned at her .

" So it's a one sided thing ? Paulina asked interested .

" I'm not sure it is but she isn't even sure she'll see him again ,ha ha ha ha it's been Two weeks since she saw him and she still remembers him ,I guess he's my future brother in law afterall " Jeanne said already walking back to the room .

" Continue making fun of me ,no wonder you are still single " Cerina fired back and Jeanne frowned .

" I would also find someone who would be interested in me Soon ,you just wait " Jeanne resorted and stormed away angrily .

Her parent bursted to laughter , Cerina did too .

" Hope she finds someone soon " Her mother prayed .

" So when is the Date ? Cerina asked remembering she had forgotten to ask the day .

" Tomorrow at 10am " He replied and she started walking to her room .

" Wear nice dress even if you don't like him " Paulina said to her and she agreed .

Chapter 9

SEEMS WE ARE FATED AFTERALL

Kyle was still sleeping when a call woke him up ,he took his phone and checked the caller seeing " Don't pick " which he used to save his Mum's number he groaned in frustration but picked up .

" Baby ,are you already dressing up , don't tell me you are still sleeping , I've booked a room for you at Newark Hotel so go there " she said excitedly .

" Mum it's 10am okay ,this is just 8:45 " he complained .

" Get up quickly , you'll be late " she chided and he stood up angrily and hang up the call .

He went to the bathroom and had his bath before going to his dress room .

He got dressed in a Black Shirt then a black jeans ,Black Snickers then combed his hair before waxing it then took his phone and car keys before heading out .

He entered the kitchen grabbing a loaf of bread then brew his tea .

After breakfast ,he went out ,his guards were already out waiting for him .

" You don't need to follow me ,I'll go alone " he told them and they obeyed but as his guards they knew better than anyone else to follow him secretly as they always do .

He got to the Hotel 30 minutes later and headed to the room that was booked , it was annoying to him that he had to arrive earlier because if he didn't ,his Mum would continue calling him until he left the house .

" You are running late " Paulina Scolded when She saw Cerina searching for cloths to wear .

Jeanne stared at her uninterested before bursting to laughter which attracted the attention of The other two .

Cerina frowned and asked " why are you laughing ?

Jeanne who was choked with laughter coughed before replying " I thought you were going there to reject him ? Why are you then trying to put on a good impression of yourself ? She asked with an eyebrow raised.

" Well I'm not dressing for him ,I don't know if I'll meet Kyle while I'm out so I have to dress nice " She explained and Jeanne gasped .

" Oh it was for brother in law ? She asked and got up heading for Cerina's wardrobe before pulling out a Sky blue dress which had lace at the chest area and silver trimmings all over it .

" This would do " she said and Cerina's eyes beamed before collecting it .

" Why didn't I think of this before ? She said before heading for her dress room .

Jeanne and her Mum shook their head as they watch her go .

" Tch Tch , it's already 9:45 and she has not left ,poor guy would be waiting for her " Paulina said as she walked out .

Cerina came out minutes later in her dress which was a little below her knees then a nude colored heel ,her hair was brought down then she grabbed a black handbag before waving bye to Jeanne then went out .

" Mum ,Dad I'm leaving " she said and ran out .

She Boarded her favourite Black Bentley then rode out of the mansion.

At 10:10 she got to the hotel then ran inside after asking the receptionist which room number it was.

She opened the door to the room breathing heavily ,she was 12 minutes late so she had to run.

" I'm sorry I'm late " she apologized the moment she entered then headed to the sit in front of the guy in black .

Kyle who was operating his phone already tired of waiting lifted up his head the moment he heard the voice and he was shocked.

' it's her ?

" It's nothing I don't mind waiting more if it's you " he replied with a smile .

Cerina who was catching her breath after drinking the available water on the table heard that voice and lifted her head in shock .

' it's him '

" How come it's you ? She Twitched her eyes in case she was imagining him .

" Why can't it be me ? He asked and she bursted to laughter .

" I was hoping to reject my blind date but who would have thought it would be you " she said sincerely .

" This is our third accidental meeting ,seems we are fated afterall " he said before grabbing the menu book , trying to order something for both of them ,the waiter came in when he rang the bell .

" I'm ordering Maditerranean Gem salad ,French dip sandwich so what are you adding ? He asked and she thought for a while .

" I'll have what you are having , just add Edible Espresso cup and that's it " she said and the waiter left .

" So your Mum and My Mum were best friends , that means I might have met you when I was younger " She said then started thinking if she had met him before .

" Is your Mum's name Serenity ? He asked and she looked up at him then nodded .

Suddenly he bursted to laughter Making her confused .

"I remember a little girl telling me that if I marry another girl except her she'll break my leg and tie me to the tree at the back of their house " he said and Cerina gasped covering her mouth .

Then suddenly stood up and ran to his side before pouncing in his embrace ,Kyle was shocked at first but later calm down .

Cerina realized the position they were in and released him looking at his eyes shyly before looking away .

" AHEM * I was just excited " she replied before going back to her sit .

And at that moment the waiter came inside then after placing their orders on the table he left .

" Let's eat and we would talk later " he said and she agreed .

Few minutes later they were done eating and the Waiter came to take the dishes away and Cerina ordered for ice cream which he brought shortly .

" So are you willing to marry me ? Kyle suddenly asked ,he wasn't sure if she'll marry him but he was damn sure he was willing to marry her .

" Yes of course" Cerina said immediately then she discovered she sounded like a desperate idíót she covered her mouth embarrassed .

She looked at his smiley face and looked down biting her lips .

' what if he thinks I'm desperate to marry him ? She thought then lifted her head .

" What I mean is , sure let's do that " she replied after composing herself .

" Let's just collect Marriage certificate ,that would do " she added looking at him from under her brows .

He agreed " sure ,so shall we do that today ? He asked and she gasped.

" Isn't it too early ? She asked .

" Then when are we going to do that ? He asked and she thought for a while .

" Tomorrow ? She asked and he agreed .

The both of them left the Hotel shortly then after exchanging contacts they left separately to go inform their parents of their decisions .

Cerina couldn't wait to tell her friends what just happened .

Chapter 10

CRUSH IS FUTURE HUBBY

" WHAT!!!!! You mean your Mr crush was Your Date " Tori Screamed when Cerina broke the news to them .

They were now at the Wyatt's Mansion .

" So you are collecting the Marriage Certificate Tommorow ? Stella asked with a smile and Cerina nodded yes .

Jeanne and Tori hugged themselves tightly .

" Awwn ,this is so romantic ,who knows maybe our virgin bestie wouldn't be one after tomorrow " Stella said laughing cheekily Making Cerina's cheeks turn red .

" What was his name again? Tori asked searching her memory for his name .

" It's Kyle " Cerina replied and Stella widened her eyes in shock.

" KYLE!!!!!!!!! She exclaimed making the others look at her in Surprise .

" What about his surname ? She asked but Cerina shook her head " I didn't ask " She replied then Stella fumbled with her bag searching for her phone . Then after she found it she searched for something under the curious gaze of her friends .

Then she found what she was looking for ,she passed her phone to Cerina ,it was the photo of a guy .

" Is that him ? She asked with excitement filled eyes .

Then Tori gasped when she saw the photo .

" It's him ,how come you have his photo ? Tori asked suspiciously .

Stella jumped up excited while the others looked at her in confusion .

" No wonder you were all over him ,he's so hot " Jeanne said with her eyes stuck on the photo Totally ignoring the dramatic Stella .

" Sister in law " Stella said before hugging Cerina tightly and they all frowned at what she said then Tori was the first to reason what she said .

" Uhn , he's your brother ? She asked and Stella cleaned the tears in her eyes .

" He is my precious older brother , you guys don't know who he is at all ? She asked and they all shook their heads .

Stella sighed when she saw they were clueless .

" Well I guess I would have to tell you about my family eventually " she said propping her head with her hand .

" In this country there are these five families regarded as the top richest in the country,The Austin ,Collins ,Conrad ,Jacob and Lois families , and I'm sure you know what each families does ,but that's not the point the point here is that each families has heirs to the business ,The Lois is the only one with a female as the first child ,name is Kiara and Thus the heir would be her husband or younger brother, The Collins has Leo ,The Jacob has Ryan ,The Conrad has Dylan and The Austin has Kyle " she explained and smirks.

" So guess which family I'm from ? She asked and the girls had their mouth opened widely in shock.

" The Austin !!! Jeanne screamed and Stella nodded yes .

" The Austin is at the top of everyone in this country and you are saying that the guy Cerina is getting married to.is the Heir, who happens to be your brother ? Tori asked and Stella nodded yes .

" Isn't this what Koreans say ' Daebak ' to " Cerina added .

" Uh uh uh , my best friend is the heir's wife*sobs* " Tori dramatically cried .

" So why did you hide your background ? Cerina asked .

" Actually I ran away from home ,he he he , that was when I met you and I didn't want to scare you guys so I hide it ,I was going to tell you sooner anyway " she shrugged .

" Well I think telling us now is the best , but that's not the most important thing here ,our best friend is getting married tomorrow and we have shoppings to do ,from dresses to lingeries to making over ,we are doing everything " Tori said and the girls stood up immediately except Cerina who was looking at them .

" Why aren't you standing ? Stella asked her when she wasn't getting up .

"Come on " Jeanne dragged her and the girls went out .

Garrett and his wife were in the living room when the girls got there ,they were surprised to see Stella and Tori with them .

" Hello Aunt Paulina and Uncle " Stella and Tori greeted before going to hug both of them .

" It's nice seeing you girls here ,you should have told me ,I would have prepared lunch for you " Paulina said and the girls smiled .

" Actually we are going on a shopping for our friend who is getting married " Tori replied and Paulina was confused .

" Who is getting married ? she asked in confusion.

" Cerina of course " Stella excitedly replied and Paulina gasped .

" I thought you had someone you liked ,you don't have to force yourself you know " she told her but Cerina shook her head .

" The one she likes was actually her date so they are getting their marriage certificate tomorrow so Mum pardon us but we have shoppings to do " Jeanne said and dragged Cerina with her .

" Bye bye " Cerina waved at them as they went out .

The girls got into Jeanne's car which was driven by Jeanne as they headed to the largest shopping mall in the country owned by the Austin family ' Real Beauty Shopping Mall '.

They first headed for the Dresses section and Stella was the one in charge of picking dresses , she was picking shorter dresses than usual when Cerina stopped her .

" I'm not gonna wear those " she said returning some but Stella frowned .

" You have to dress up that my brother would feel his head blow up and he'll forget his ex immediately and remember you forever " she said twirling excitedly .

" You don't know what you are in for " she added laughingly .

" Just leave her , let's go look at those jeans " Tori dragged her to the pants store and they picked to their heart content and they met up with Stella who held up to 20 dresses in her hand to pick .

" We still need to shop for lingeries , expecially those see throughs , he he he , you don't know how happy I am that you are marrying my brother " she said then suddenly shedding tears shocking the others .

" It's okay , let's go shop don't start crying " Cerina consoled her .

" You know that year my brother told me he found someone he loved ,I was very sad and never accepted her not until she broke his heart and I was happy at least he was going to leave her and you with Jake I was waiting for your break up , I'm not a bad person but I never like you and Jake together because I wanted you with my brother ,I believe you guys would make the best couple and when I knew you were actually marrying him I was so excited ,I believe it's fate " she said finally cleaning her tears .

" Yeah she's gonna be happy with him and if he hurts her we'll bury him alive " Jeanne said and the others laughed .

" Come on don't ruin the atmosphere ,we have lingeries to pick expecially transparent and disposable ones " Tori told them , they all laughed before going into the store.

Chapter 11

YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED????

Kyle was with his friends with the exemption of Kiara at Star block club ,they were confused as to the reason he called them there but they went there anyway.

" So I decided to have my bachelor's night with you guys " he said sipping the wine that was ordered earlier .

They were confused at his words that even Leo bursted to laughter when he heard him but Kyle frowned .

" I'm getting married tomorrow " he told them and they all widened their eyes in shock ,even the unfeeling Dylan did .

" You are getting married??? This is not done ,who is the lady? How did you meet ?don't tell me you decided to marry one of those ladies your Mum set for you ? Ryan asked concurrently ,he was too shocked to reason well .

" Well she was arranged with me on a blind date

...." He was cut short by Leo .

" Come on man , you shouldn't do that because of the bitch that left you , is it because you heard she's getting married to Chris so you decided to get married first to show her you are getting over her or something?

Kyle was surprised at the new information " she's getting married ? He asked in confusion .

" Wait you don't know ? So why did you hasten your marriage then ? Leo asked him .

" When are they getting married ? Kyle asked .

" Three weeks from now " Dylan was the one that replied .

" Why are you asking, don't tell me you are trying to crash the wedding ? Ryan asked suspiciously .

" Hell no ,I'm not stupid ,I have a beautiful wife to be with I wouldn't want her anymore " he replied and Leo and Ryan raised their eyebrows in amusement at what he just said .

" A beautiful wife uhn ? Leo asked ,his interest suddenly piqued .

" We were friends when we were kids and we kinda met few times and when I found out she was my date I decided to marry her ,I kinda like her " he explained and Ryan choke on the wine he was drinking .

" What you like her !!!!

" You moved on ? Dylan asked unsure and Kyle chuckled .

" You guys don't want me to ? He asked them .

" Well that's good ,so do we know our prospective sister in law ? Leo asked .

Kyle smiled then brought out his phone showing it to them .

" I'm not sure if you remember her but she was that girl that night " he replied them and Leo and Ryan squinted their eyes trying to remember where they've seen her before .

" Isn't this Superwoman ? Leo asked covering his mouth shocked .

" Uhn? That lady that beat up that man ? Ryan asked and laughed .

Dylan was the only clueless one .

" So I'm the only one who doesn't know who she is ? He asked and they turned to him .

" You'll meet her after he's married dude" Ryan replied him .

" Kyle you better don't offend her ,what if she suddenly flip and beat you to a pulp " Leo said laughing and Ryan joined in .

" Anyway I need your help , I need a wedding ring but I don't know how to choose " he told them and Leo suddenly smiled .

" Don't worry I'll take care of this ,just enjoy your day tomorrow " He said with a smirk .

~~~

The girls were in Cerina's room all sprawling on her bed ,they were tired after spending all day at the shopping mall .

There was plates of cheese and bottles of Grape juice on the table by the side ,the girls were having a sleepover .

All the shopping bags were laying on the couch by the side of the bed unattended .

" It's four hours more before morning" Stella said after checking the time for the umpteenth time .

" You are more excited than the bride to be " Tori said with a frown .

" Can't I be ? I'm giving out my bestie and Brother at the same time " she said squealing and the girls sighed .

" I see " Jeanne said uninterested .

" Girls I'm so nervous ,you know " Cerina said hugging her pillow tighter .

" What if I don't do well as his wife , what if I disgrace him , goodness he's not just any guy ,he's Kyle Austin " she added pulling her hair .

" Of course you would do well ,you are Cerina Cecilia Wyatt for goodness sake ,if you can't do it who would then " Tori told her hugging her.

" You can be the badass kinda wife ,the one everyone would fear but respect and mostly you have to be strong to be able to chase away flies around your man ,you know he's a delicious piece of meat and there would be flies around him so you need to be strong for him " Stella told her and the others agreed .

" Don't just trust anyone easily , you know life is not as easy as it seems ,you never know people's mind , example is Diana ,after years of knowing one another she still betrayed us so you never know " Jeanne added and they agreed again .

" Thanks guys ,you are the best anyone would have " she told them and they all hugged her .

" Say something else we aren't " they said at the same time and chuckled .

" Miss bride ,you have to sleep if you don't want dark circles on your day " Tori told her and they agreed as they all laid on the bed to sleep .

It was early next day , it was Paulina who came to wake them up .

" Wakey wakey " she said as she tapped them one by one .

" Good morning " they said in unison as they woke up .

" I thought you guys were following her to the Marriage Bureau ,why are you still sleeping ? She asked them and they all dashed away from the bed.

Cerina entered her bathroom to wash up ,Jeanne went to her room and Tori went to Ace's room while Stella waited for Cerina to be done before she used the bathroom .

When Tori got to Ace's room ,he was just coming out of his bathroom with a bathrobe on ,he smiled when he saw her .

" You didn't even come for me yesterday " he said with a pout as he moved closer to embrace her .

" You know we had a girls night so I couldn't come out ,I'll make it up to you okay but now I have a marriage to attend " she told him before she tip toed to kiss him .

He wrapped his arms around her waist to deepen the kiss .

" AHEM * Victoria ,I thought you were late but here you are making out with your fiancee ? Paulina said with an eyebrow raised but a smile on her lips .

The two released one another immediately then awkwardly Ace scratched his hair before frowning .

" You should have knocked " he told her and she smiled .

" Well I did ,five times but you guys didn't hear that " she said and Tori coughed before walking away shyly ,her face was over red ,being caught by her mother in law so early in the morning was embarrassing .

" Why did you come ? Ace asked his Mum after she left .

" Well I just wanted to come check you guys ,bye bye " she said chuckling as she left .

Chapter 12

NEW WEDDED COUPLE

The girls were ready to move and they all gathered at the dining table eating breakfast .

" Visit us often , don't say because you are getting married you wouldn't come anymore " Paulina said after they were done eating breakfast .

" Sure Mum ,why would I not visit " she said hugging her ,her eyes was Misty .

" Your Mr husband would be here soon " Tori said checking her watch . Kyle called earlier to tell Cerina the time he was coming .

" It's just Ten minutes more " She added .

They were now in the living room waiting for him .

" Don't worry you'll be fine " Paulina told Cerina and she nodded in agreement .

" Don't worry I'll take care of my sister in law " Stella said Paulina ,Garrett and Ace turned to her looking at her in confusion . When Stella realized they didn't know her identity ,she scratched her head then looked at her friends .

" Well her husband to be is my older brother so she's in safe hands ,he he " she explained laughing a little at the end .

" You are Chloe's daughter ? Garrett asked and Stella nodded yes .

" That's nice at least you are there to look after her " Paulina said in relieve ,she was afraid Cerina would be uncomfortable with her new family but with Stella she could rest assured .

" Not me persay because my brother is someone who spoils whomever he holds dear so I assure you ,you wouldn't regret marrying her to him " she said proudly .

Just then a maid came to them .

" A young man named Kyle Austin asks for young Miss Cerina " she said and Garrett told her to let him in and the maid left then shortly ,Three men entered ,they were Kyle ,Dylan and Ryan .

The Elders didn't know who the groom was but they waited for them to do their introduction .

Until the one in an all black attire spoke .

" Hello ,Aunt and Uncle , I'm Kyle ,nice meeting you " he said with a smile .

Jeanne ,Tori and Cerina were blinded by his smile while stella was immune to it

When Ace saw Kyle he frowned a little ,his sister would have a hard time chasing away flies from him .

Paulina stood up delighted as she went to hug him .

" So you are my son in law , you are so good looking no wonder my daughter was so into you " she said smiling brightly that her husband had to take her away from him since he was getting jealous of the young man.

" I'm Dylan Conrad ,his friend " Dylan introduced after him .

" I'm Ryan Jacob ,nice to meet you all " Ryan introduced next ,he moved to hug Paulina smiling .

" Aren't you that famous doctor ? She asked him and he nodded in agreement .

" Who would have thought big shots like you guys would come to our tiny home to ask for a bride ,I'm so happy ,treat my baby well ,she's the apple of our eyes here " She turned to Kyle who was staring at Cerina ,she was blushing .

" Sure Aunt I would " he assured her

" What Aunt? Call me Mum " she corrected him and he smiled then called her ' Mum' .

" Kyle Miguel Austin , you didn't tell me, your precious little sister you are getting married " Stella said angrily and Kyle who had his eyes only on Cerina since he came in was forced to turn to the familiar voice and he frowned .

" Why are you here ? When did you come back ? He asked and she pouted at him .

" So you were never planning to tell me ? She asked furrowing her eyes .

" Well I wasn't planning to " he replied with a shrug and the others laughed .

" You guys should settle your matter later ,we have a Marriage to attend " Tori said getting up then grabbing Cerina .

Ace went to Kyle and shook his hands .

" My eyes on you " he told Kyle who chuckled .

" I know you ,the sister complex guy " he said still laughing while Ace frowned .

" Well everyone in the country knows the famous son of the Wyatt family that keeps his sister's identities hidden so no one would take them away from him but unfortunately your sister is mine " he whispered in his ears .

" Anyway I'm watching you ,hurt her and I'll do whatever it takes to get my revenge " Ace said walking back to his room but not before giving Tori a peck on her cheeks .

" See you later " he told her and walked away .

" Cerina and I would ride in a car and you girls can ride with Ryan and Dylan " Kyle told them grabbing Cerina's hand and walked out .

They got to the Marriage Bureau and the two entered while their friends waited ,and soon the two came out holding their marriage certificate in their hands .

" Happy Marriage Mrs Austin " Kyle told her and she smiled before embracing him shyly .

" What are you guys doing ,we are waiting for you and you are hugging one another there " Ryan shouted at them and they laughed .

" Didn't you kiss your wife on your own day ? Dylan asked him with an eyebrow raised .

" You are married ? Tori asked him surprised.

" Yeah ,last year " he replied with a huge grin .

" So you are married too ? Jeanne asked Dylan and he shook his head .

" I'm not " he replied .

" Nah nah ,Dylan and Leo are the single dogs " Ryan mocked and Dylan scowled at him .

" Who are you calling a single dog , let me tell you the girls that wanna marry me would line up from here till my house " they heard Leo's voice and the girls turned to see an handsome man in blonde walking up to them .

Jeanne who saw him was shocked to the bones , HER CRUSH WAS HERE !!!!

" Uhn, I missed the main course , well I got what I went for anyway " he said handing a silver box to Kyle .

" Sister in law " he smiled at Cerina who smiled back at him .

" You are so beautiful " he told her but he could sense a deathly glare directed at him then on seeing the frown on Kyle's face he chuckled .

" No need to glare ,she's yours anyway " he replied then turned away and faced Ryan who had called him a single dog earlier .

" If you call me a single d.... " He was still talking when his eyes landed on Jeanne and he squinted his eyes at her .

" How come there are two sister in laws ? He asked in confusion .

Chapter 13

LIVING TOGETHER...

Jeanne who was just coming out of her daze laughed at his question but he was still staring at her then back at Cerina ,he then noticed their eye colors .

" Oh you are her Twin sister ? He asked and Jeanne nodded shyly ,she still couldn't believe he was in front of her .

" Kinda ,but we are cousins " she replied and he gasped then moved closer to Jeanne .

" You both are really beautiful " he complimented before facing the newlyweds .

" I wish you both an happy married life " he was very happy his friend moved on from his bitchy ex . If anyone had told said Kyle would get married ,he would have been the first to argue because he knew how much he loved his ex .

" Make sure you let loose Tonight , don't worry ,no one would complain if there's a baby in two months time " Stella added giggling and Cerina covered her face with her palm blushing . She threw a side glare to the mischievous Stella .

" Well guys ,Me and my wife would go first you guys can spend the whole day here " Kyle said then turned to Cerina who blushed because he called her his wife .

" Yeah sure ,go ahead " Leo told him then turned to the others .

" Let's all go to Star block and leave the couples alone ,I'll treat you all to drinks , It's My best friend's happy day so I shall make today free for everyone " he said and they all left leaving the couples alone .

Kyle faced her smiling " Shall we missus " he said and she placed her hand in his and they both walked towards the car .

" We would visit my parents home tomorrow ,is that okay with you ? He asked and she agreed .

They got into the car and he drove off .

They both had things going on their minds as the drive was silent until he drove into the famous " Greenville Estate ' owned by the Austin family precisely owned by him .

There were about six Mansions in the Estate and four of it were owned by the four friends and the remaining two was vacant .

He drove into the largest Mansion which was he's . There were several men in blacks in the mansion that even Cerina was shocked .

" They are all your Securities ? She asked and he smiled .

" Kinda , that are yours too " he replied and got out of the car and went to open the door for her and she stepped out .

The guards saw their boss and were about to go greet him when they saw a beautiful woman stepping out of his car . They were shocked ,their Boss never told them he was bringing a woman home !

Kyle saw their reactions and smiled .

" She's Cerina my wife " he told them and they all had astonished looks on their faces.

The leader of the guards , Caleb moved closer to her and bowed .

" Madam I'm Caleb the head of Boss's Securities " he told her and she smiled .

" I'm Cerina ,nice meeting you " she stretched her hand to him which he shook .

" Madam I'm Abel " A young handsome man came to her ,he was smiling widely at her ,he was so happy his boss moved on from that scary ex of he's .

Kyle frowned on seeing him smiling at his wife but he knew he had no bad intention to her .

" He'll be your personal guard " he told her and she was happy since he seemed the most friendly to her ,the rest were like ice blocks .

Abel eyes were twinkling in excitement " Boss you mean I'll serve Madam from now on ,you don't know how happy I am , I wouldn't be with these loads of blocks " he said and Caleb frowned at him .

" Thomas and Chad would go to her house and bring her belongings here " he told them and the guys got into a car and drive out immediately without even asking the location ,they had their way of finding out .

" Let's go in , it's cold outside " he told her while holding her hand and they went in together .

The interior was very beautiful and the walls were made of glass , she could see a pool from where she stood in the living room and the stairs leading to the upper part of the house were glass too .

" Your house is beautiful " she said unconsciously and he smiled .

" Our house " he corrected and she turned to him .

" Yeah our house " she said and saw him walking towards the stairs .

" Let me show you around " he told her and she followed him .

He showed her every part of the house and she discovered the house had , four bedrooms ,a Gym ,A piano room , game room, Theatre ,a kitchen ,a study , a library and the large living room.

" You don't have a Butler or maids ? She asked when she didn't notice one .

" Well I don't ,I'm used to doing things on my own but if you want them I'll hire " he told her but she shook her head.

" I don't like people doing things for me too " she replied smiling then heading to the room he said was their room .

She was at first nervous after knowing they would share same room but since he told her he would be patient with her she wasn't anymore .

She got changed into a simple shirt and Jean trouser then a pink flop before heading out to join him . Her belongings were brought in earlier when they were touring the house ,his guards were very effective .

On getting to the living room ,she didn't find him and was about calling him when she heard sounds from the kitchen and headed there .

The kitchen was extremely neat and beautiful and there he was in a white apron cutting meat and she stood by the door watching him .

" I never knew you could cook " she said and he turned to her .

" Well I can " he replied then she walked closer to him trying to figure what he was cooking .

" How do you know how to ? She asked .

" My Mom ,she often says a man that could cook is more attractive in the kitchen than a woman cooking" he replied smiling .

" Then I won't starve " she said laughing .

" Of course you wouldn't " he replied then took the food to the dining table ,she helped him with it .

After they were done with their meal they both went to their room .

Kyle went to wash up in another room while She used the one in their room .

After she was done she laid on the bed ready to sleep when the door opened ,she clutched into the blanket nervously while he went to the other side and laid beside her .

He knew she was nervous then he smiled and pulled her closer to him making her gasp .

He hugged her then kissed her forehead .

" Go to sleep and stop fidgeting " he told her and she calmed down before hugging him back and slowly they drifted to sleep .

Chapter 14

MEETING IN LAWS

It was early next day, Kyle was the first to wake up and on seeing the little woman in his embrace he smiled and kissed her forehead but didn't make an effort to stand up .

Cerina found a comfortable position and snuggled closer thinking it was her pillow but never the less she felt very comfortable.

Kyle smiled while playing with her hair ,she looks like a cat when snuggled closer to him .

He was silently watching her when his phone rang and he picked up ,it was Leo and he frowned.

" Hi dude , happy marriage life so how was your first night with your wifey ? He asked trying to get first hand news early morning .

" Is that all ? Kyle asked then hung up immediately .

Leo ,on the other side was speechless at his friend's behavior .

" Is this how all new couples behave ? His question was directed to Ryan , who was sitting beside him .

It seemed they spent the night at the club .

" It depends " Ryan replied , throwing a tablet into his mouth then gulping it down with water . He seemed very drink .

...

When Kyle looked back at the woman sleeping in his embrace she had opened her eyes probably due to the noise .

" Good morning " he told her and she covered her eyes with the pillow shyly ,she didn't know it was him she turned to her pillow .

" Morning " she replied and he chuckled hoarsely.

" If you still want to sleep you can continue but if you are awake let's get ready to visit Mom and Dad " he told her before kissing her forehead again then got out of bed before heading for the bathroom .

She went through her dresses while he was having his bath and picked a White off the shoulder dress with black trimmings on the chest area .

She picked a Black jacket,White shirt and black pants for him also . She was smiling widely when she picked matching dresses for them and by the time she picked a black heels for herself ,he was out of the washroom in a bathrobe .

He walked up to her when he saw her holding his clothes .

" Wear this " she told him and he smiled before collecting it from her .

" Thanks wifey " he said then kisses her cheeks softly and she turned crismon red ,first he called her wifey then kissed her .

She held her cheeks and ran into the bathroom ,he laughed watching her ran away like a rabbit .

After dressing ,he went to prepare breakfast for them and at that time she came into the room and get dressed before walking down to join him in the kitchen .

" We are going to have just pizza , Mom cooked breakfast for us too " he told her when she came in the kitchen.

He handed her the made Pizza and a glass of milk .

" Thanks hubby " she replied while blushing ,she decided to call him same way he called her earlier but she ended up blushing .

Kyle's heart skipped a beat when he heard her soft voice call him hubby and he grinned widely like an idîot.

He took out the box Leo gave him yesterday and grabbed her hand much to her surprise.

He opened the box which housed a pair of beautiful wedding rings ,he took one out and slid it into her fingers and he waited for her to do same for him and she did .

" It's beautiful " she exclaimed smiling widely.

" It suits you better " he replied staring at her smiling too .

Shortly,they were done with their breakfast and headed out where their guards were waiting for them .

" Good morning Boss and Madam " They greeted ,Kyle just nodded and walked away while Cerina made cutsy to them then walked after Kyle .

Abel walked after his Mistress and whispered to her " Are you going to visit Boss's Family ?

" Umm" she replied him and he smiled still sticking to her .

" Don't worry they aren't difficult people they are very friendly expecially His mother and grandmother " he told her and that kinda calmed her down because she was very nervous , although she knew his Mum picked her she didn't know about other members except Stella of course .

" Thanks that helped a lot " she told him .

" Of course you are my boss your problem is mine too " he replied but before she could say anything Kyle pulled her away from him .

" Even if she's now your Boss you shouldn't stick to her like glue " he replied with a frown making Cerina chuckled ,who would have thought her husband was the jealous type .

" Why are you laughing ? He asked her .

" Nothing , let's go hubby " she told him and he smiled when she called him that .

" Sure let's go " he said grinning .

Abel almost laughed out loud when he saw his boss .

' Boss is hopeless ' he thought then shook his head until his eyes met with Caleb's .

" What ? He asked when he saw the latter Frowning at him .

" Don't you know you are supposed to drive them ? Caleb asked him and Abel gasped before quickly getting into the car .

Two other cars followed them as they left the compound.

An hour later they drove into the Austin Ancestral Mansion ,it was Two times the size of Kyle's house .

The door was opened and they stepped out ,while Cerina was appreciating the Mansion She heard someone call her .

" sister in law " it was Stella and she rolled her eyes at her .

" Come on don't be dramatic " she told her and Stella hugged her .

" You are my sister in law though " she replied and she was pulled away from her forcefully .

" Tch , possessive much " Stella told her brother who was glaring at her .

" She didn't come here to see you " he replied and took Cerina's hand before heading inside where the Elders were waiting .

" Welcome " A middle aged woman dressed in a green dress emerged and pulled her in her embrace then released her then checked her out .

" You looked just like Barrett and a bit of Serenity " she said with a huge smile on her face and Cerina smiled back .

" Nice you meet you Aunt " she greeted and the woman frowned ,Cerina was scared when she saw her frown ,what did she do wrong ? She thought .

" You are supposed to call me Mum ,how am I your Aunt ? She asked with a frown and Cerina was relieved .

" Yes Mum " she corrected .

" Chloe let the girl enter ,you are scaring her already " a middle aged man said ,he was the older version of Kyle , he must have swept thousands of girls off their feets when he was younger .

They moved to the living room and they took their sits ,she sat beside Kyle .

" You must the legendary Cerina " he said to her teasingly .

She was confused about what he meant but he cleared her confusion .

" My wife and Daughter are always talking about you , you know you've been a legend in our family four fourteen years now " he replied with a chuckle but his wife frowned at him.

" Whatever she's now my daughter in law " She told him .

" Is she Barrett's daughter ,she looks just like him " A voice was heard and Cerina looked up to see an older woman ,she wasn't looking that old but she was older compared with the two in the living room .

" Hello Grandma " she went to the woman before she got to where they are .

" You are a sweet kid ,have your sit " the Woman told her and she sat .

" So you and Stella have been friends for fourteen years ? Grandma Ella asked .

" Yes it's almost fifteen " she replied and Stella barged in .

" Grandma ,you see I brought you the best grand daughter in law in the world , now you see I'm trustworthy " she told the woman who laughed at her word .

" Yes you did "

" Let's go eat breakfast and talk more " Chloe told them and they all went to the table .
