Ellen’s POV??
I watched the proud idiot hold the mic.. “What does that peacock have to say?”. I asked myself… Nothing but rubbish.??
“I’m getting married to Miss Ellen Quentin”. He said and I blinked. “Who’s Ellen Quentin?” I asked Cindy.

“The future CEO of Quentin’s corporate industries”. Cindy replied.

“He didn’t ask for my consent, is that how it is done, he didn’t even propose to me?”. I almost screamed at the party.
“Congratulations dear….

Mrs Ellen Horace”. People started coming to congratulate me and I tried to force a smile that refused to show.

In my heart…. I was fuming with anger…. How dare he?… No… Wait….?

“You’re happy right”.. Rita said and poured her red wine on red gown. “Oh, you’ve stained your dress”. Rita laughed and left quickly.

“That girl, I’m so gonna kill her”. Cindy said as I pulled her back.

“Thank God, I wore a red gown, it’s not noticeable”. I replied.
“I would have dealt with that bch”. Cindy said.

As I tried to go outside to take fresh air outside, I slipped and was falling down when someone held my hand… It was no other person than the devil…. MYLES…

He had caught my hand and our lips were few inches apart from each other. … His face shone brightly and I pushed him.
“Sorry I held you”. He apologized slowly.
I didn’t bother to reply.. I left …

End of Ellen’s POV

Rita’s POV
“Change of plans Brody”. I said over the phone.
“I don’t understand”. He said.
“I need you to undertake a secret job for me”. I said.
“What job?”. He asked.

“I need you to kidnap Ellen before her wedding, that marriage must not hold”. I said and he chuckled.
“The usual payment right?”. He asked.

“I’ll double it”. I replied desperately.
“Leave no traces behind, do a clean job”. I added and cut the line…

As I tried to open the door of the restroom, I felt the urge to vomit, what was happening to me?… I quickly turned to the toilet sink and vomited… Why was I vomiting??. Perhaps, it was a reaction of Myles getting married to Ellen…. That man snatcher ??

..
..
I thought they hated each other before.
Why did they have to marry?
And that Cindy!… I’ll get rid of her soon.

It was time for me to read the second announcement to the public, I didn’t even know what was there… Myles just said I should read the paper he gave me.

I quickly went out of the restroom and went to the hall…. After the director of sales came down from the podium

I climbed and they clapped for me.
I’ll kill Myles and take over his company… That was for sure…

“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m Rita Taylor with the second announcement this evening”. I said and they stopped clapping.

“It is now to your knowledge that the Horace international company has decided to……”
I paused

Why did I pause?
My mouth was sealed.

Why would he merge the two companies together.
“Has decided to merge with Quentin’s corporate industries”. I read and they clapped.
Now he’s made my plan hard….

As I left the podium… I began to feel dizzy like I would faint … I quickly went to my car and drove to the nearest hospital to request for a test.

After ten minutes, the doctor called me into his office with a pleased expression….??
“What did he want to say?”. I asked myself.
“Congratulations, you’re………

End of Rita’s POV

Ellen’s POV.
“Ellen, you’re probably wondering why I said I would marry you but I wouldn’t if not for my dad’s condition”. He said

“I know and I also hate to marry you”. I replied
“You know you’re not a wife material”. He said.
“And you’ll never be a loving husband”. I replied.

“And you’ll be frustrated all your life”. He reminded
“I’ll just poison you”. I replied and he chuckled.
“If pride was a human, it would be you”. He replied and went out.??
