Damian grant sat at the window of the exclusive suit. He was wearing a million dollar suit but was completely devoid of the normal cheerfulness of a groom.
Turns out yesterday, Damian found out that the Vanessa who he had been betrothed to had a lover.
FLASHBACK TO YESTERDAY
Damian who had fallen slightly in love with the beautiful and calm Vanessa decided to go surprise her in her hotel suite since they were getting married the next day.Though he didn't know much about Vanessa, he just liked her personality.
"I can't , my parents want me to marry him". Damian heard a weeping voice say as he leaned against the door.
" its okay Vanessa, I have to go now before anyone sees me" Damian heard the voice of a man from the room.
"I love you ,bye" Vanessa said wounding Damian heart slightly.
In that instant Damian had a slight seizure revealing his rebirth and his past life.
Damian dropped the gift at the doormat and walked back to his hotel.
Damian a twenty seven year old young man with a strikingly handsome face was the son of the king if the elite circle in the capital.
Damian unlike other spoiled brats was always obedient, too nice, too gentle
Damian had died and was reborn to the same day where he made the most fatal mistake of his life. He remembers clearly that he had gotten married to Vanessa and they had lived together for 4years, though their marriage was devoid of love.
Vanessa would always leave the house for weeks, sometimes a month but Damian as the obedient loyal dog didn't stop her nor asked her why.
Damian soon fell sick and Vanessa gave birth to a baby boy for him. Damian was happy he had fallen madly in love with Vanessa over the past few years and he easily put all his properties in his son's name.
Damian had no hope of recovering from this strange sickiness. Days passed ,then weeks and months. The sick Damian soon realised that he had been decieved by Vanessa when he saw news of her cozying up with other high officials. On February 19th Damian who had seen the news that Vanessa was getting engage to the duke of dormhill drove headed to dormhill. In a beat to find her, he drove himself into a fatal accident where he lost his life and was instantly brought back to this time.
Immediately Damian woke up he went straight to Vanessa's hotel to confront her, then it dawn in him that he had been reborn and that Vanessa never truely loved him even before their marriage.
Damain knew that this time , this life was going to be different .
He wasn't going to be the good old Damian Grant everyone use to admire, that was what cost him his whole life but this time, he was determined to rewrite history.
Damian started by going straight to Vanessa's hotel.
After packing his car he went inside .
"Hi sir Damian, what brings you here". She said adjusting her hair.
"The wedding us off, you can go to your lover" Damian said trying not to getting angry.
"But Damian, why this all of a sudden, you know our parents won't agree to this. pls let's just get married and not create a scene" she said coming closer to where I was standing.
Damian instantly grabbed her by her hair making her scream in pain.
"If I said it's called if, then it's called off, understood " Damian said and walked out of the hotel room back to his hotel.
On his way up he met an unusually familiar face, a young lady caring a bowl of crimson who wasn't looking looking into him.
"Can't you watch where you are going " i said with a frustrated grunt .
Damian furrowed his brow, 'she had a sharp tounge'.
"Are you aware you just ruined my suit" Damian said a but annoyed at her feisty attitude.
"Well, who cares, go get a new one. All I can think about is what the grooms mother will do to me if I don't get this to her in time" I said panicking.
"Well ,you don't need to bother, the wedding has been called of " Damian said.
"Called off" my expression twisted with sorrow "then how do I get the money to pay for my . . . ".
" well first you have to think about how to pay for this expensive suit you just ruined " I said coldly .
"And who the heck do you think you are to force me to pay, just watch, once I go tell the groom that your are making trouble at his marriage, even telling lies that it has been cancelled then you'll see what ye will do to you " I said sharply.
"Well if you had know any better you would have realised I'm the groom " Damian said boldly.
My face instantly twisted to that of realisation and regret. Grandma always told me that my mouth would get me in trouble someday.
"Well I'm not asking for much " he stretched out a recite.
"As you can see, its worth millions so either you pay back or you give in to my demand".
My face instantly darkened, what kinda of trouble had I gotten myself into.
" please ,I promise to buy it back just give me time" I pleaded.
"What time would be enough for you to get such a large amount of money" he smirked.
And it was true ,even if I sold myself I couldn't get that much money especially not now that I had to pay for grandma's surgery.
"Well, what would it be. Would you rather die trying to get the money or just give in to my condition?" he said in a mocking tone.
"What's the condition" I had to brace my self for whatever was coming.
He stared at me a if trying to ascertain my thought. Leaning closer with his every breath falling on my ear, he said "you must follow me and do exactly as you are told without questions or complaint".
Panic instantly settled in, I knew i had just walked into a trap that I wouldn't be able to come out from.
" okay" I muttered, my voice coming out small.
"Oh ,so you know how to talk calmly?". He squeezed my left hand tightly and led me up to his hotel room.
"why are we here . . pls, i can't accept this condition . . I'm not that kind of girl" I said almost weeping .
I ran for the door twisting it's handle but it was shut.
Damian approached me with an evil grin. I clutched my hands to my chest shuting my eyes tightly.
Damian rested one hand in the door behind me observing my reaction with a smirk.
How could I have been so stupid to follow him here. "Then what kind of girl are you ?" He said raising my face up with his right hand.
"Pls ,don't. ,pls don't do this ,I swear I will pay back the money " I pleaded
" I'm not asking for much, just one night wouldn't kill you, would it" he asked with a weird expression.
I was already crying profusely ,the thought of being raped by a stranger was terrifying.
"No ,pls don't, I promise to repay you.
He stared at me for some time, then walked back to where he was standing and made a phone call. Within minutes, wedding planners filled the room.
" get her ready for the wedding, she should look amazing" he said.
"When she done, get her to the wedding hall" he instructed and they left.
I was still standing in confusion about what was going on. I soon realised that the man intention was to use me to replace his bride, but why.
Damian went straight to the wedding hall, it was already 12:00 and Vanessa was there.
Seeing him outside his father went to him angrily attempting to slap him but Damian caught his hand mid air.
"What is this Vanessa is telling us Damian , why did you call off the wedding?" Damian's mother asked in tears.
"Mum, why I decided not to get married is my choice " he said fuming.
Mrs. Grant looked at him in shock. The Damian they know would never talk back at them.
"What's gotten into you Damian" his mother looked drenched , why the sudden change of heart".
Damian walked to where his dad was looking fazed at his sons sudden rebellion. "Dad ,I know this wedding was only to benefit yourself and Mr Jerold" Damian said .
"What do you think people will say ,' the king of the elite circle took us for a ride, making us come to a wedding that wouldn't take place" immediately Mr. grants fave twisted with a mixture of fear and anger but he said nothing.
" you know most of your best investors and partner are here already, just think about what they would do if they get offended" Damian said .
"Damian!!" Mrs Grant roared and Damian chuckled.
"Calm down father, shouting won't fix anything, all you need to do now is to be a good boy and walk the bride I've picked down the aisle" he said patting his father's shoulder.
"Damian ,what has gotten into you, you were never like this" His father said worried.
" . . and that's why you all took advantage of me " Damian said his expression calm.
"Well if you won't walk her down the aisle, then I guess kalian will do it " Damian smirked and went to where the old but strong old man was greeting some guests.
"Damian, the man of the days has arrived" he said with a warm smile .
Though old, grandpa kalian was still as handsome and vibrant as ever.
"Old pal, I need you to do something for me , but pls don't ask me why" Damian said .
The old pals face instantly twisted with worry.
"What is it Damian, hope you aren't in any trouble ".
"Not at all, I just need you to walk my bride down the aisle " Damian said calmly.
Grandpa kalian frowned slightly " I've always told you, I don't like that girl so why do you want me to walk her down the aisle".
"No grandfather, its not Vanessa . . I've . .I've chosen another bride."
"What do you mean, another bride" he looked truely confused.
"I'll explain to you later old pal" Damian gave him a reassuring pat and walked towards the alter where the priest was waiting.
"Damian pls, if I did anything wrong , pls forgive me. Pls don't call off the wedding" Vanessa said crying.
Damian shuved Vanessa away and gave her an evil smirk .
"No darling, I'm marrying someone else" he patted her cheek with a mischievous grin.
"What . . what . . do you mean " she said shocked.
Damian smirked and walked up to the alter.
"Pls everyone take your sits, the Union is about to begin".
Damian at the alter looked up at the left were his parents looking as devastated and disappointed as ever, a look that he was enjoying. He remembered in his past life that his parents had only used him and they had never checked on him when he was at the verge of dying. He wasn't even sure if they buried his corpses.
All eyes were on him as old pal kalian walked me down to the alter. Some in the crowd who knew Vanessa looked confused. He was a bit proud as the alternative bride he chose was more beautiful and elegant than Vanessa. He needed something that would hurt her.
The sermon went by quickly as I stood obliging to every vow. I was at the verge of crying, I only came with the wedding planning team to raise some money but now I was the bride because of mtyown foolishness. I had always dreamt of a grand wedding such as this, but with someone I loved not a total stranger who i now so despised.
" You may now kiss the bride " the priest finally said ending the wedding.
I gave Mr. arrogance a death glare as he leaned forward and pecked me on the lip.
I cursed underneath my breath regretting every thing brought me to him.
As the priest concluded the sermon, Mr grumpy picked me up and carried me, bridal style out of the wedding hall.
