BILLIONAIRE CINDERELLA : CHAPTER 1 – 10
Chapter 8
By Gbemi Writes
She was almost at the door when someone took hold of her hand, she turned to see that it was Romeo.
“You aren’t going anywhere” he told her softly.
“Haven’t you been listening to me at all. Am not the real Develene” she told him.
“And? The real Develene isn’t here and you are here and therefore you will stay and keep on being Develene until we find her” he said harshly.
“I can’t stay here. I have my own life to live and…..”
“You should have thought of that before taking someone else identity”He cut into her words roughly.
“You can’t make me stay” she told him fiercely
“Really? Watch me then” he said as he moved away from her to dial Willow number.
“Bring some of your men to my fiancee house. The reason is that there is someone here I need you to guard” he said starring at Marie.
Knowing that if Willow arrives with the guard there would be no way for her to leave, she thought of an escape.
She saw his car keys on the table where he left it earlier moving towards it, she picked it up and dashed out of the house not bothering to take her suitcase.
Her bag had all she needed and it was right on her arm, she could hear them calling after her and immediately she got into the car, she saw Romeo running out of the house but she quickly drove off.
She was still driving when she got busy with her thoughts, If she made it to the airport on time, she would be able to leave without them stopping her.
She was still driving fast when the rain began to pour and getting side tracked, she found herself driving straight into the front of a lorry and then it was darkness.

~BACK TO THE PRESENT MOMENT~
On hearing the things Romeo told her, Marie still in her wedding gown sighed out softly.
“The rest you know. You woke up and I don’t know if it’s luck on your side cause you forget the whole thing or you might probably be lying like you did” Romeo said also dressed in his suit and all ready for their wedding which would be taking place that day.
“Am not lying. I can’t remember a thing and even when you’ve explained now, I still don’t remember but am sorry, on behalf of Develene and myself, am sorry” she apologised.
“Your apology won’t fix a thing. Its your action that will do” he told her suddenly.
“What do you mean by my action?”
“For now you are Develene cause the real Develene is still no where to be found, you have to play her role and continue to act like her. So our wedding will be taking place today” he said harshly.
“What? Even after everything you still want to marry me?” Marie asked looking stricken.
“I do and don’t think that it’s because I love you or all that sht! Its because you owe me. You and Develene lied to me and one thing I hate most is lies. You will be the one taking Develene blame and that is through marriage to me” she told him.
“This is crazy! I don’t want to marry you” she said as she pulled off her veil.
“You will be marrying me Marie. I won’t let you make a fool of me and stand me up on the altar, my mother and grand mother are out there waiting.
Even though my marriage to you is a bit of a secret, I won’t let you make me look like a fool” he replied as he moved towards her putting the veil back on her hair.
The two of them stood gazing at each other.
“Don’t worry! I told you once that I desire you right? Well I don’t anymore and you are quite safe after the wedding. I wouldn’t want to sleep with someone who lie” he told her as he moved away from her.
“Make yourself look good, Develene father will come take you to the altar where I will be waiting for you.
Don’t try to act smart cause I won’t take it from you” he told her before walking out of the room.
Marie sat down back still reeling from everything Romeo told her.
She can’t believe everything he told her and though she’s been trying to remember, she just can’t remember.
The door opened and Develene father walked into the room.
“Are you ready?” He asked softly and she nodded.
“Am really sorry. If I had my way, you wouldn’t be marrying him” he told her softly.
“Its okay. This was destined to happen ever since I decided to help your daughter” she thought as she forced a smile on her face.
Of all the things that happened. Develene father have been a true father to her, he made her feel safe and also getting to know Romeo mother and grandmother have been the best time of her life.
They’ve been nothing but kind to her and she just couldn’t let them down by deciding to leave and even though she tries to leave, Romeo wouldn’t allow that to happen,she thought.
She’s made her decision, she will marry Romeo.
