After sometime Raymond entered the hall wearing a sky blue designers suit that matched Marianne's dress. His hair was neatly cut in a 3:1 haircut and his extremely perfect face and jaw line made him look more handsome.
All the women in the hall nearly fainted at the sight if seeing Raymond.
The reporters were scared of his cold and aloof temperament that they didn't dare to surround him.
Raymond quickly walked past them and walked towards the stage.
Picking up the microphone he said. It is a pleasure to have you all here.
The whole willson family welcome's you all to this banquet. As you all know what the main purpose of this banquet is.
So without further a-do let me introduce my wife to everyone.
After Raymond finished his speech ,the door of the banquet hall opened and an elegant beautiful lady walked in.
Every man in the hall was drooling at her sight.
Marianne slowly walked inside the hall with her head held high in a very delicate manner.
Raymond quickly went forward and escorted his wife to the stage.
I guess I don't have to tell you all het name ,she is Marianne Griffin daughter of Monica Harrison My wife.
There was an explode of claps ,everyone was very happy for them.
Indeed they are a good match look how beautiful they look together . May they have a happy marriage. Said the speaker.
Cassidy and Olivia's face didn't look good . What Raymond did was to say that they were lying ,he was even ashamed of calling the father of Marianne.
Olivia signaled Cassidy and quickly walked to the stage.
Anne mum is so happy for you ,she went forward to hug Marianne . But Marianne dodged and hugged Raymond instead. Making Olivia about to fall but was caught by Cassidy.
Anne why are you like this I was just congratulating you. Mum is happy that you have finally settled down. Olivia said putting on a fake smile.
Marianne looked up at Raymond and said. Honey do I need her blessings.
Raymond shook his head expressionlessly.
Marianne smiled and turned to Olivia and said.yiu heard my husband ,I do whatever my husband tells me ,now leave she said and pulled Raymond to the other side of the stage.
Olivia was still about to say more but a guard approached her and said. Madam you heard our boss lady now please leave the stage or we will force you to.
Olivia to avoid being disgraced clenched her fist and returned to Cassidy's side.
You see ,this bitch***called is here to disgrace us ,but guess what she won't leave here happy. Cassidy said with a cunning smile on her face.
This is how I want Anne to be ,strong and independent ,not always wake ,Julia whispered to Jashwill.
Jashwill nodded and smiled he pulled her closer so that she could lean on him.
.....
Marianne was about to turn to Raymond to tell him something but the lights suddenly became dim.
She turned and was about to call out Raymond's name.
When a bright light suddenly fell upon her.
She then saw Raymond standing before her holding a ring box in his hand.
He opened the ting box and a couple ring appeared before Marianne.
Taking a step forward he said. This ring is not in comparison to the love I have for you. Every single day my love for you increases and I have the zeal to do more things for you. I promise to always love you , I promise to always keep you safe ,I promise to always put you first in every thing I am doing.You are and will always be the woman in my heart. After saying this Raymond placed the ting on her Ring finger s d planted a kiss on it.
Marianne couldn't help but tear up, she didn't even think of this and he went ahead to get a couple ring for them.
She wondered how someone would love her like this.
Raymond saw her crying he wiped her tears and said. Hey , don't cry you will ruin your makeup. Now all you have to do now is to take this ring and then put it on my finger.
Marianne wiped her tears ,she picked up the ring and said. I consider myself very lucky that I found you.
If not for you that night I wouldn't have known where I would have been. I promise Thay I will always stay by your side ,you will be the only man In my heart. Afternoon saying this Marianne placed the ring on Raymond's finger.
Everyone clapped and cheered for them . Everyone in the hall felt extremely moved and touched by the couple.
Everyone in the hall could say and vouch that they are deeply In love.
Oceania on the other hand who had walked in after much difficulty saw this scene and was fuming with anger. She was supposed to be the one on that stage. She promised to make this party turn to hell for Marianne.
