Princess Maya turns to Rex, " what is your fiancée doing here?" Rex confuses on how to respond, "She may have followed him here", said Ella. "I'm i the only one who doesn't find this funny?" Princess Maya replied. Rex turns to the Driver, " Go and derail her, so we can leave the hotel without being seen" said Rex. Princess Maya, " What if she recognizes my driver and smells something filtering, I can't take that chance with my driver. More to that, you don't expect us to drive ourselves to the court right". "I will drive you people", said Rex. Princess Maya said, "you are the groom and where is your witness?" Ask Princess Maya. "I thought you had arranged for s witness too" said Rex. "Let ague that went we are out of here" said Ella. Princess Maya turns to Rex, take Ella here with you and use the back door out of the hotel, let me face Julia alone" said Princess Maya. Rex staring at her strangely, and Ella gets up to leaves. "Please allow me to talk to her" said Rex. " To explain what, Rex? I don't appreciate Ella entering in to trouble because you were not careful enough to notice the present of your fiancée while you finding your way here. Now if you don't mind, I have to walk out of here through the front door" said Princess Maya. Ella drawing the hands of Rex, "let leave this place. Is fruitless to ague with Princess Maya" Ella takes Rex out of the door, walking down the corridor and finds themselves behind the hotel. 

Ella standing beside Rex car "i can't believe I have to sneak you out of a hotel room through the back door just so you can help me. Not once did I ever hid my face when you needed me. I was there to and fro and at most times harming my other friends" said Ella entering the car. Rex enters and without a word, he drives away.

 Princess Maya opens the hotel room to walk out, only to meet Julia standing at the door, with a smile on her face, "Who do we have here?" Said Princess Maya. Julia struggling to stares into the suit to see if Rex is in there. "What are you searching for Julia" said Princess Maya. "I saw Rex driving in here and I know it has something to do with you or Ella" said Julia, still struggling to look into the room. Princess Maya shift from the door," you can come and get him if you can, unfortunately he isn't here", said Princess Maya. Julia enters the room, "If he is not here it's means he with Ella", said Julia. "Where is he?" Demands Julia. Princess Maya turns to the driver, " Can you imagine Julia demanding the where about of her fiancée from me". Walking towards Julia, "do I look like the keeper of Rex?". Julia scrutinizing Princess Maya, " how did you know I am his fiancée? If you haven't been concocting another scheme to reunited him with Ella" said Julia.

"As I said, I'm still Princess Maya and I get to know everything about those who had made it their mission to be my eternal enemy". Turns to the driver "Please let go" to Julia "Before your uninvited visits, we were on our way out. If you don't mine, can you evacuate this instant so, I can lock my room". Julia is getting angry by the tune of Princess Maya. "I'm not leaving until you tell me the location of Rex. Because I know you saw him, and he is here somewhere" shouting "Rex" looking at the room door "Rex". Princess Maya holds Julia's arm, "don't make me give a reason to the bloggers to get busy with scandals". Drawing her out of the room, "You have no right to batch in here and demands for something that doesn't concern me. I'm not Ella who tolerates your tantrums". Push Julia out of the room and close the door. "How dare she come here and demand for Rex, call his phone if you need to see him". Walking towards the room of the suit. What effrontery? The driver is silence and confuse on how to react. Princess Maya staring at the mirror in the suit. "I can't be woken up over her and ruin the reasons why I came here, " said Princess Maya. She breathe in three times and breathe out, turns and walks out of the room. She meets the driver, waiting for her commands. "Meet me with the car at the exit door and make sure she is not following you" said Princess Maya. The driver leaves the hotel without a word but just shake his head in acceptance. 

Rex and Ella arrives the court and Rex packs the car at the packing lots and both are silence. Rex is thinking" I don't know how to make her understand I don't have any evil intentions towards her, but Julia held me in a tight Conner to put the engagement ring on her finger. I shouldn't have done that until I was certain of whom I really need ". Rex's phone starts ringing and Ella staring at him who is engulfing in his thoughts without hearing the ringing of the phone. Ella picks up the phone and Julia is the one calling. "Rex Julia is calling" said Ella. Rex jumps out of his thoughts, "what did you say?" Ask Rex. The phone is still ringing and Ella hand over the phone to him. Rex opens the door of the car, walks out before answering the call. Ella watching from the car and can only see him talking but can't hear what he is saying. 

Rex comes back to the car and sits down, Ella knows better to demands what is going on and since Rex is not in the mode for explanations, she just needs to get over with all this and thank God. The car of Princess Maya emerge not far from them. She walks out of the car with her driver. Ella walks out too with Rex, Princess Maya, on seeing the looks on Rex's face "who died", ask Princess Maya. Ella said, "Julia called and if my assumptions are right, she may have blackmailed him on something". Rex is silence and didn't want to give and explanations of the call

Princess Maya walking away, "the Mayor is there waiting for us and I don't want to engorge myself with anything call Julia" said Princess Maya. Ella and Rex follow her into the building, while the driver is the last person to enter the building.

The Mayor talks to them about the legality of marriage and demands for the rings. Princess Maya provide the rings for them and hand over to the Mayor. He collects them and is talking about the meaning of the rings. Rex admiring Ella, who is standing in front of him. Ella, notices the intensity of Rex's eyes on her, and he is not paying attention to the Mayor or anything but her. "Can this be real? Is Rex really in love with me, or am I dreaming of seeing love in his eyes? " While these thoughts are going through Ella's mind, she did not realize when Rex holds her hand up and is about repeating the verse and to slut the ring. Rex repeated what the Mayor told him and slut the ring on the finger of Ella. Ella did the same, repeated what the Mayor said, and slut the ring on Rex's finger. "You may now kiss the bride" said the Mayor. Rex staring into the lovely eyes of Ella and gradually bent his head, placing a kiss on her lips. Princess Maya and the rest clapping for them. Rex deepening the kiss and holding Ella close until Ella had to stop him from going further. The mayor smiling at them, "I now pronounce you Husband and wife". The word sounds in the ears of Ella like is a dream, but not this time. She has dream of getting marry to Rex countless times and was waiting for the day he will define their relationship to talk less of getting married, but Today when the Mayor said it. It is not exactly what she had pictured, but "I can do with this for now", said Ella. Princess Maya embraces Ella and talks to her ear, "welcome to the world of marriage, my dear one". Ella smiles and Rex embraces the driver and turns again holds Ella's hand. "Let go, my wife". Ella following him, and they had to take pictures in the other room. When they enter the room, no one is present, "where is the photographer" asked Ella. Rex doesn't care whether he is there or not, but he bends his head and holding Ella into his arms," may I have this kiss with you please". Before Ella can reply, Rex draws her closer and staring at her eyes not to defy him, or he will use force. He placed his hands on her waist, drawing her closer and staring at her to say no. Ella said, "Rex is a fake marriage". "I know", said Rex, but not stopping from drawing her closer and going down to kiss her on her lips. The moment Rex touched her lips, Ella melts into his arms. All the hatred, anger, and guilt she used to feel disappeared. She is with the man she loves, and she intends to enjoy it while it lasts.
