Chapter Two

MARRIAGE GONE WRONG.

GAEL'S POV CONTINUED.

" S sir" Donald stuttered, and I turned around slowly to look at him, with a heartbroken expression.

" I cannot believe, she would do this to me" I muttered slowly, remembering, what I read earlier.

" Hey guy, I am leaving the country right now, with Carlos. Yeah, Carlos, your best friend. I am in love with him, not you, and we have been dating for a while now. I have no interest in marrying you Gael, you are a workaholic, and unromantic. I doubt you would even be good in bed. Carlos, on the other hand, is everything, a lady dreams to have. I hope I did not break your heart too much when you saw this message. So long".

P.S: DO NOT COME LOOKING FOR ME, FOR YOU WILL NEVER FIND US.

" My fiancee and best friend were screwing behind my back, and I never had an idea" I commented, before giving a painful laughter. 'This was so great, I just prepared for a wedding, which is never going to hold, because the bride is missing' I thought sadly, heartbroken and frustrated.

" What are we going to do sir?" Donald asked, and I knew instantly, I had to get myself and think for a solution right now. Yes, I am hurt, but I am not going to give Ashely, the chance, to turn me into a broken-hearted idiot.

'My reputation and image, in front of the media, mattered, more than anything else, I would not let her soil it, nor disgrace my family and my name' I thought.

" A bride is what is missing for this wedding to commence right?" I turned to ask Donald, and he nodded, throwing me a confused look, and probably wondering, where I was heading to.

" Then get me a bride, anyone would be fine," I told him, and he widened his eyes out at me.

" How, Mr. Robert?" He asked.

" Ms. Ashely, is nowhere to be found" He reminded me, probably thinking I had forgotten.

" I know Robert, just go outside, and get me any lady, to replace her, even if it's a random lady," I told him.

" I do not think, that would work sir," Robert said, with hesitation.

" Why not?" I asked impatiently.

" The press knows, it is Ms, Ashely, you are getting married to, imagine their shock, when they see, an unknown lady" He explained, and I knew, he had a point, but I had no choice. Better to be interrogated, than be embarrassed.

" We will handle that later, do as I say, for now," I told him while turning my back on him. He sighed, before proceeding to leave the room. I collapsed on a nearby chair wearily, trying to calm myself, and not dwell too much, on this betrayal, my fiancee and best friend, served to me on a platter.


DONALD'S POV.

" Mr. Robert, can be both easy and frustrating, at the same time" I muttered to myself, as I hurriedly dashed out of the hall, to look for any lady, to replace Ms. Ashely. ' I could not just pick, any random lady, like he said, for, what if she turned to be a gold digger, and start to blackmail Mr. Robert' I wondered.

I have to pick, a well-to-do lady, who looks responsible. Just then, I saw a beautiful, black-haired lady, surprisingly dressed in a white wedding dress, coming in my direction. I was startled at first, until she got to my front, and spoke.

" Hello!" She greeted me, and I nodded at her, trying to be calm. " Please is this the way to shooting hall?" She asked and I got confused.

" Shooting hall?" I asked, and she gave a shy smile. " I meant, where the shooting of the movie, was supposed to take place" She added, and I gasped inward, remembering a popular movie, was going to be shot, in the next hall, just a few meters away from here.

' But, it looks like, she lost her way' I thought. I was about to tell her, she was in the wrong place, when I remembered, Sir, needed a bride, ASAP. ( As soon as possible).

' I am sorry miss, but I am going to lie to you and trick you, please forgive me in advance' I thought, before throwing her a smile, which she returned.

' She looked like a sweet, gentle soul, and not a gold digger' I thought.

" It is this way miss, you are almost late," I told her, and she gasped.

" Please can you lead me?" She asked, and I nodded, stepping aside, for her to get front, while I followed behind, with a guilty expression, hoping I was doing the right thing, and not ruining the young lady's life.


ASTRAL'S POV.

I was almost late for my shooting, but thankfully, I met one of the crew members, who was kind enough, to lead me, to where the shooting was going to take place. I followed him, inside the building, and was surprised, by the decorations, and how beautiful, everywhere looked. One would actually think, a real wedding was taking place.

'Well, it does have to look realistic, so our viewers can live in it' I thought. I kept following the crew member and then decided to ask him, where we were going exactly.

" Kind sir, where exactly are you taking me?" I asked politely.

" hm, hm" He stuttered, and I turned to look at him, stopping.

" To?" I asked in confusion.

" To meet the male lead, so you guys can arrive at the wedding scene together" He blurted out in a hurry, before throwing me, a nervous smile.

' What was up with him?' I wondered. He was acting nervous, and suspicious.

" The male lead has been waiting for your arrival, when we did not see you, we thought you lost your way, so I was sent to find you and luckily met you on your way here" He explained, and I felt guilty.

" I am sorry, please take me to him, so we can commence" I pleaded, and he smiled at me, and began nudging me forward.
