Ryan was glad about his fiancee's decision, they will cross the sea to a very faraway country and start a new life there.
They are going using a ship, According to Ryan, there won't be able to trace them if they use the sea not taking a flight.

"Baby you're good?" Ryan asked worriedly, Liya had been quiet since their journey which he couldn't understand why.
Liya stood staring at Ryan, the boat everything around her. Ryan got off the boat to Liya's, he kissed her head.
"what's wrong?, let's go" He said.
Liya didn't say anything, instead tears drop from her eyes. She burst into tears, Ryan wasn't expecting that.
"Baby, it's okay, we will come back soon after some years"
"Liya cleans her tears" I'm sorry, Ryan I'm. I'm sorry I can't "She said.
"You can't what? "Ryan knew what was coming and he would go insane if Liya actually do it.
"I can't, I can't leave my family for my selfish interest, "She said crying.
"What?, They are the ones being selfish not you "
"My mum, she will be so worried, I can't leave my parents, they are my family "
"Liya stop, please stop '
"I'm sorry,"Liya said hugging him.
"No, after all, I went through? After all, I spent for us to run away? you can't just back out, please I love you." Ryan holds Liya's hands tightly.
"Baby please, you are the only woman I ever loved, I can't bear to see you marrying another," He said crying.
"Omg, are you crying? I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you, bye"Liya free her hands from his grip and disappeared into the darkness.
"No, no, nooooooooooooooooooo"Ryan fell on his knees crying.
"Please my love, don't go, please"He wept hitting his chest.

Back in Andrew's house, The search for Liya is still on, Liya had reported to the police but the police said it was not 24 hours yet, so she isn't missing. Octavia and some people like their neighbors joined the search but the result was futile. Mrs. Andrew was worried, she cried and refused to eat or do anything.
At dawn, Liya came home.Everyone rushed to the door to witness what was about to happen.
Liya's clothes were drenched from the rain, she was feeling tired and weary.
Andrew was angry, he look at his daughter in disgust.
"Papa, mama," Liya said trying to hug her parents but Andrew slapped her hard on the face. Everyone in the room exclaimed, Liya was surprised she held to her cheeks.
"How dare you, you this ungrateful girl!"Andrew shouted.
"We did this for ourselves, for our business as well as for yourself. You are so selfish that you didn't bother thinking about how your loved ones will feel with your stupid decision" He yelled at her.
"I'm sorry Dad,"Liya said crying.
"Save your crocodile tears, you ingrate! Look at the humiliation you caused us yesterday, you have no idea of what you did"
"Even that little fool insulted me by calling me my name, all because of you!"Andrew raises his hands to hit her but Mrs.Andrew came in between them.
"Please, she is drenched, let's take care of her before she fell ill, at least she is here. Our in-laws won't be pleased if she is sick" She pleaded with her husband.
"Mmm, get out of my sight and I don't want to see that foolish Ryan of yours here again!" He said and left.
Liya was taken in, where she was taken care of.
"Why did you do that?" her mum asked.
"I'm so disappointed in you"
"Mum, I'm..."
"say no more, Dress up and come downstairs your mother-in-law is here"
"what? So soon?"Liya asked, she barely spent an hour.
"Yes, your dad called her"
"Why? I'm not ready"Liya said sadly.
"No one is ever ready, let's go," Mrs.Andrew said leading Liya downstairs.
In the sitting room, Madelyn is seated awaiting her bride, she rushed here when she got the call that Liya has been found. Liya knelt in front of her mother-in-law as a courtesy demanded.
"So you found her?" Madelyn asked in mockery.
"And you, the runaway bride, why did you come back? Huh!"
"She is here, I think we should proceed with the ceremony, let's pick a date for the wedding and..."
"No need for that, they are getting married today"
"Huh!" There was murmuring in the room.
"Mmm Madelyn I mean their wedding"
"yes, it's today I already call my event planner, pick a place. I want them to get married today at 6 pm"
"Isn't it too soon? And Liya isn't ready" Mrs
Andrew protested.
"She doesn't need to be ready, listen I already transferred the money so you keep your side of the deal, "Madelyn said annoyed.
"We will be having the wedding on a yacht at 5 pm, my driver will pick Liya up at 3 pm to get her ready.
She is my son's wife and I don't want her wearing those cheap and rag wedding gowns, I'm getting her the best of the best, so be ready" Madelyn smiled and left.
Liya was despairing"This is it".

"Well I'm your husband now, you should get used to me. I own you" Jude said kissing her neck.
