It was a few minutes to noon but the land was covered with darkness, dark clouds hanged dangerously on the sky threatening to rain at any moment. Savannah stood infront of a huge chapel with a bouquet of flowers in her hands. She glanced up at the building emotionless, that was where all her life's dream would be shattered , but what could she do.
" Please Savannah, let's go inside, it's about to rain," Gerald pleaded.
"But dad, you know that I don't want this, how could you my father let me marry someone even older than you. I'm just eighteen years dad," Savannah said with tears threatening to fall out.
" We have already talked about this dear, this isn't the end, you can always file for a divorce when our company is finally up and running. I hate to do this to you but there isn't any other way. My child, I'm begging you, don't let our company go to waste," Gerald pleaded.
" Alright dad, if this is what you want from me I can't possibly deny it, you gave me life, and I owe everything to you," Savannah said as tears flowed freely from her eyes, her make up was all ruined but she cared less. Ever since her mother died three years ago, her dad suddenly changed, they moved into a new home where she realized that her father had another family. Whatever company her dad talked about she wasn't part of, she had been reduced to a maid.
Gerald wiped off his daughter's tears, though his heart broke , he had to do this, he had to make this sacrifice so that the company he had built with all his might would not go to waste.
Savannah made her way up the stairs which had been decorated beautifully, soft music playing on the background. Savannah felt as though she was walking to her grave, but it seemed better than living in hell for the rest of her life. It was then that a glint crossed her eyes, Savannah made a resolution, whatever life threw at her, she would welcome it and use it to her advantage. She wiped off all her tears and raised her head high, this wasn't the end of life. With determination she made her way graciously into the chapel.
At the same time inside the chapel Mallon had been waiting for almost an hour for the arrival of his bride, he was beginning to feel restless when his best man whispered to his ears and shown him something on his mobile. His aura changed suddenly that the room became chilly. The veins on his forehead were already popping out and he breathed fire. Those who witnessed this held their breaths, afraid of what might happen next.
Mallon was about to make a step aside when his guard rushed to him at the altar and whispered to his ears. He suddenly maintained his cool, straightened up his suit and held his hands forward like the calm and collected gentleman he was. He glanced towards the entrance awaiting his bride.
The chapel door opened and Savannah let out a long sign as she made her way inside, she didn't want to look at her groom otherwise she might just turn back. Almost all eyes were on her but she never bothered, no one truly cared, it was just her and the hell that awaited her.
A few blocks away from the chapel at a hotel room, Reena was getting dressed up after having her dose before she could go to her wedding.
" Please baby, just one more, I can't help it, I'll miss you for a long time, you know I won't be able to bare that," Adrian said.
" Adrian please, let me get going, I'm already an hour late as it is," Reena said trying to tidy up her hair. Adrian came from behind her and hugged her tightly.
" I'm letting you go, but promise you will come back to me," Adrian said.
" I promise dear, you know that it's you I love. My parents can never decide for me who I give my heart to. So please hold on a little longer, we'll be together in the end," Reena said and kissed him on the lips, bidding him goodbye.
Reena rushed to the next room where her maids had been waiting for her, they had to do her makeup once more. In a minute they were done and the team rushed to the elevator to the ground floor. It was raining heavily by the time they arrived at the parking lot. Reena searched for the limousine that was to take her to the chapel but it was nowhere to be seen. She began panicking and called the driver but the number was locked.
Quickly Reena scanned the area but there wasn't anyone around at the car pack, no taxi's were available either. With no other choice Reena made a call to Mallon but his phone too was off. Reena knew that she would not make it to the wedding, though it was just a few metres ahead, it was raining heavily with dangerous thunderstorms and lighting. Reena slumbered to the floor, she had messed up everything.
