Stanley stared at Savy in surprise, "what nonsense are you talking about?" "I know what I am saying Stanley," she replied. "You are someone who doesn't even speak to other girls and suddenly you bring a young and beautiful girl into our home and claim she is your maid.Is it because she is younger than me? Do you consider me old or have you gotten tired of me?"Stanley stared at Savy with a helpless expression on his face and sighed, "my heart moved me to help her because she was forcefully taken to the black market and auctioned off. I couldn't turn a blind eye and let those old disgusting men get their hands on her. I was just being a good human so please don't insult me.And why would you think I am tired of you? For me, you are the most beautiful and you are not old.Don't worry about things that don't make sense, okay."Stanley saw that Savy had calmed down and moved much closer to her. He cupped her cheeks and said, "I love you and in a short while I am going to make you Mrs.
Gerald began to tear off Lana's clothes. She wore a peach-colored gown that Stanley had gotten for her the day before.Gerald tore off the top of her gown, revealing her white bra top which she wore inside.Lana bit his hand and when he took it off her mouth, she screamed again and began to cry. He held the lower part of her gown and was about to tear it apart when someone pulled him from behind.He turned and was shocked to see Stanley who usually came back very late from work. Stanley punched him hard in the face, causing Gerald to stagger backward.Before he could find his balance, Stanley pulled him by his shirt and punched him again. He punched him the third time and Gerald fell on his back.Savy ran into the room and tried to control Stanley who was livid at this point. She stared at Lana who had retreated to a corner of the bed. She had curled herself into a ball and was shaking and crying, her gown was torn and her hair was disheveled. As she saw Gerald on the floor with blo
Lana's heart was beating heavily and her forehead was covered in sweat. She decided to run to her room but her foot accidentally struck one of the flower pots beside Savy's room door.Savy quickly left her bed and ran out of the room to see who the intruder was. She saw Lana run into her room and closed the door.She stared at Gerald and said, "I think Lana must have caught us. I'm scared of what she would tell Stanley."Gerald pulled her back to the bed and said, "let's finish what we were doing as I'm yet to find my release. As for Lana, I will tell you what to do. It's not a problem."Savy went back to the bed and they continued having sex while Lana sat inside her room in a daze. She still could not believe what she had discovered.Stanley was such a good and faithful man and he loved Savy so much. How could she bear to betray him in such a way? She understood that Gerald was handsome but he was good for nothing and couldn't be compared to Stanley. How could Savy choose him?She h
Lana sighed, "sir, right now, Miss Savy and Mr. Gerald are in your bedroom and they are....they are both....naked."Stanley stared at Lana and chuckled, "are you sure that's what you wanted to tell me?"Lana crossed her fingers as she feared that Stanley would call her a liar and drive off. Stanley saw that Lana was not smiling and suddenly realized that she could be telling the truth.He got down from his car and said, "wait here," before walking towards the house.As he walked into the house, he hoped that Lana was mistaken. Savy was someone he loved so much and he had done so much for her.When he found her almost two years ago, she had lost her only sister and mother in an accident. He had almost run her over.She was crossing the road, lifelessly and wasn't aware of her surroundings. When he took her to the hospital, he learned that she had lost everyone in her life and was suffering from depression.He became her friend, her shoulder to lean on, and everything else.Because of ho
Stanley drove his car to a park and sat inside it watching the people who were coming out and going in. He thought back to the times he had brought Savy to the park when she was still suffering from depression. Everyone around him had betrayed him, including Lana whom he expected would be loyal to him after everything he had done for her.If he had gone ahead and traveled, Lana would have kept silent and he would have ended up marrying Savy, that bitch. What did she see in his brother?What did Gerald give to her that he did not? Was it because Gerald was younger? She preferred a younger jobless loafer to him who was ready to place the world at her feet?Stanley thought back to all the times he had traveled and left the both of them at home. Sometimes he would travel for days and there were times when he traveled for a week.He always felt worried that Savy was lonely in his absence but now he realized that he was a complete joke in their eyes. How they would have laughed at him each
Terry tapped Stanley on his back, "calm down my friend. I wasn't asking you to do either of those things. I want you to think about your reputation. It's going to take a big blow and you might become a laughing stock if word of this gets out.My suggestion is that you get someone else to stand in as your bride. Make an agreement with her and after six months or one year, you pay her off. Most of the people you invited know you and not your bride so people won't notice that the bride has been changed. Think about it, both Savy and Gerald will be jubilating wherever they are when all the people you invited end up going back disappointed.Remember that you invited the media so they would also spread the news that your bride to be cheated on you which led to the cancellation of your wedding.If however, your wedding proceeds as planned, those who have cheated you will be shamed and your reputation will be intact. No one will know about what happened and when you secretly send your new wi
Lana stood frozen in place as she found it difficult to believe what she had heard. Even though Stanley had said she was going to be his pretend wife for six months, she did not find herself worthy of such a position.Why her? She understood that his wedding was meant to take place the next day and being such a wealthy man, he must have already invited prominent people to the wedding but he could have surely picked someone else for the job.He had the money to afford it and there were professionals who were well-trained for things like that. She knew nothing about what was expected of her or how to act the part in public.She was still in the same position thinking when she heard a knock on the door. She snapped out of her thoughts and quickly went to open the door. Standing in front of her was a tall and beautiful woman.She smiled and stretched her hand out for a handshake, "My name is Sol and I am the wedding planner hired by Mr. Grey. I presume you are his bride-to-be, Miss Lana,
Lana nodded her head and quickly ran away to her room. From what she had been told, the wedding was to take place tomorrow. But, if Mr. Stanley was being so strict, how was she supposed to stand at the altar with him?When Lana ran away, Stanley shut his door and went back into his room.Back in her room, Lana kept turning on her bed as she felt restless. She knew that Stanley had said he was going into a contract marriage with her. He didn't ask for her opinion though so she practically did not have a say in the wedding.Despite this, Lana's heart wouldn't stop beating. Each time she tried to imagine herself at the altar with Stanley, it would seem like something impossible and she would end up doubting it.After struggling for a long time, she finally convinced herself that whatever would happen tomorrow, she would not have a say in it just like she didn't have a say in most of the things that happened in her life.She closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep, leaving everything
