Manuela
"I think this will be fine, Chioma please take the rest back" Manuela said fitting her dress, the one she chose was actually the one her mother wore on her wedding, she liked it more
"are you sure you are going to wear that, I mean that's your special day my friend, I think this one will fit better" she showed her the one that actually fit her
"but friend my mother would be disappointed, I heard her telling aunt that she'd be very happy to see me in her dress, imagine how sad she'll be if I dont" Manuela explained
"this is your day, choose your dress, she had hers and chose her dress, it's not fair of her to want you to wear this outdated dress, look at you, no man get out of that sack and take this dress, it fits you better" chioma said
"okay, thanks for being here for me princess Chioma, I really appreciate this" Manuela said
"babe I wouldn't have missed your wedding for anything, this was our dream remember?" chioma said holding her Manuelas wet cheeks.
"and it's a reality now, so you and Prince ..." she wanted to call prince's name but chioma cut her.
"don't call that loosers name here, he used me and left me, his parents allowed him to date a commoner, to say I was angry is understatement my friend but I have moved on and I too is dating a commoner but this is our secret, he's cool, educated and rich, what more do I need, plus the Vitamin D is game" they burst out of laughter
"listen I too had a boyfriend thay I just broke up with, he's from USA, I met him there, shame we shared something special but my dream was to rule the kingdom one day, he's still here in South Africa and we just had the hottest sessions of them all" they laughed
"so you mean you just had sex with your boyfriend on your wedding preparations weeks ?" chioma asked laughing, it was more of a rhetorical question
Kofi was at the door listening, she only knocked when they were done talking about that silly stuff
"my princess, the queen sent me to give you this" she handed her beads
"you can leave now" Manuela scolded Kofi
"your mother though" chioma said frowning at the beads
"why do I get the feeling that my mother is determined to ruin my special day, why these ugly beads?" Manuela was angry
"hey don't let her get to you, she think this is the 60s when she got married" chioma said
.....
Yildiz
"you lie, so she has been having sex with someone else except her husband to be, wow and you'd swear she was holly" yildiz obviously surprised by what Kofi told her
"I wish the prince could find out, but how, I mean I don't think she's ever going to go back to that man, he's going back to the states soon from what I have heard" Kofi told yildiz everything she heard
"where do you say that man is again, maybe I can score myself an American hunk" yildiz joked
Kofi being herself told yildiz where that guy is who his name is ...
yidiz left her apartment and went to where Jeremy is, she stood by the gate since the security guard was still calling Jeremy.
after a while he came to the gate and allowed to take yildiz in with him, yildiz couldn't stop drooling
"take a picture" Jeremy said
"what?" yildiz snapping out of the drool nation
"I said take a picture, it lasts longer" he was now posing
"gosh aren't you full of yourself" yildiz said and they both laughed, Jeremy opened his door, offered yildiz a drink.
"so what beings you here?" he asked
"I'm here to talk about Manuela, dude are you seriously letting her go just like that, I mean you're here for her aren't you?" she asked straight away
"listen her little girl, Manuela is a grown ass that can decide what's best for her, I will not stop her, yes here for her, and believe I will not let her get away with what she did to me, but everything in due time, who are you anyway?" he asked
"it doesn't matter, your girlfriend is standing on my way, I should be the one getting ready to walk down the isle, not her" yildiz was angry making Jeremy chuckle
"that's Manuela for you, she gets what she wants, she's driven, so I suggest you too fight for what's yours, if you truly love the dude as you claim you do then I think he's worth fighting for, but yildiz I must warn you, no body has to fight to be loved, Manuela is not the only problem here, your guy too is, if he loves you as much as you love him then he'd not be getting married to anyone but you, if you want to fight for him then that's on you, but my advice is to let him go, find a better man out there and be loved the way you deserve" Jeremy said
"thank you Dr Phil" yildiz didn't want to bore him with the details
"so what's with your name?" Jeremy asked
"it's a Turkish name, it means star" she explained
"it's a beautiful name, since you're here, would you mind going out for lunch with me, I mean it would be great to have some company plus they offer delicious food, there's sea food also" Jeremy asked
."I'm hungry so yeah let's go, but I don't want sea food" she said making Jeremy laugh
"I'm definitely getting sea food, you're missing out, have you tasted octopus though, I mean you'd never eat anything else" Jeremy had a wide smile on his face
"disgusting, I would never eat a mare crab, going to octopus would be very adventurous of me" she had a disgusted expression making Jeremy laugh even more.
they had lunch, they were actually getting along like they knew each other for a longest time, Jeremy was funny, plus having to spend a day with someone as refreshing as yildiz was what he needed given his current state of mind, he felt very fresh and happy.
"how about a movie?" he asked desperately
"why do I get a feeling you don't want me to leave?" yildiz asked
"because I don't want you to leave, you're refreshing yildiz, u have never had anyone like you my whole life, your boyfriend is a fool to let a woman like you go, some of us would die to have you" he said
"oh really, that's nice to hear, okay let's do the movie but you will have to drive me to my place afterwards" she agreed
Nathan spotted them having lunch, now they're watching a movie and being cozy, he followed them and to make matters worse, yildiz didn't go to her place, she slept over Jeremy's place or so did Nathan think.
.....
Randy
"you can't be serious man" he was defeated to hear what yildiz was busy doing
"what do you expect, she's a free woman, aren't you getting married tomorrow?" Nathan asked
"but she knows how I feel about her, why would she do that?" Randy was hurt
"and yet you who claim to love her is the very same one getting married to another woman, and you expect her to believe the shit you say, my friend I don't understand how you royalties do stuff but what you're doing now is really cruel, you used that girl, she deserves happiness " Nathan said
"Nathan man come on, you know how much I love that girl, and I told you that I'm going to marry her my second wife, it's better than nothing" he tried to convince himself
"Randy man yildiz deserves the best, not being your second option, you should have stood your ground with your father, your firm is going fine, your father has nothing on you, why let him rule your life like that?" Nathan asked annoyed by Randy's decision to marry Manuela
"I'll explain everything to you when you get here tomorrow" Randy said
"oh I thought only royalties attend royal weddings" he joked but clearly the joke wasn't funny to Randy
"Nathan don't do that, please man don't make me beg you to come to my wedding bruh, don't do that please" he was pleading
"ey I'll be there, it was supposed to be a joke" Nathan said laughing
"not funny, I'll see you tomorrow" Randy hung up.
"I can't believe yildiz would do that to me" he said to himself, he had tears on his cheeks
"son what's wrong?" his father walked in at him crying
"nothing, I'd like to be alone dad" Randy said.
"listen you can talk to me, I'm your father, I hate seeing you cry" the king was sincere
"really, tell me if I'm not your only benifactor who else is?" Randy randomly asked
"I have only one son" his father proudly answered
"then you'd deprive me of my inheritance because I choose love over everything?" he asked
"son, we had an agreement, I don't want to talk about this anymore, your wedding is tomorrow, you should be happy" the king said.
"well I'm not, I'm far from being happy, I'm sad, I'm depressed, the woman I love is about to get into a relationship with someone else, I'm not coping" he was shouting
"let her be, you're getting married to a very beautiful and smart lady, a princess" his father said
"it's not about love to you, it's wealth, isn't it father, you have one great master plan to make your kingdom more wealthy, this wedding is your ticket, am I wrong?" Randy shouted
"you're not wrong, and all that wealth will be yours when I die, so technically I'm doing this for you" his father walked out leaving him surprised
