(Rude and grumpy)
Episode 17
By: Faith Lucky.
Bethel’s Pov:
The reception party was held outside the Winthrop mansion and trust me when I say this – 80% of the country’s superstars were present. I even saw some celebrities from outside the world.
“Happy married life bad” Lady K walked upto me and said as I stood next to Nicole.
She was putting on a long red gown that exposed her thighs and a little part of her bre@st.
But she looked really sweet and pink.
“Thank you” I replied and she smiled and walked away.
“Wow! Looks like you’re becoming a celebrity Bethel” Nicole said and nudged me and I scoffed.
I looked around for Ryan and found him sitting and drinking with some other celebrities. Shouldn’t he be around me?
Mum and Ryan’s mum were busy with the guests. The whole place was just buzzing with life and that was when it dawned on me that I was really a married lady now.
I wondered where Ryan’s step mothers were. I saw alot of women there and couldn’t tell which was which.
I also saw two of his step sisters but couldn’t find his jerk of a brother.
“Excuse me Bethel. Need to make use of the restroom” Nicole said and left.
I sighed and sipped from my glass.
“Hello sister” I heard someone say behind me and I turned to see the jerk.
I scoffed and crossed my hand as he stood in front of me, putting on a proud look.
I can’t believe he even had the guts to face me.
He took a glass of wine from the table and sipped from it.
“So…how’re you enjoying your party?” He asked.
“Well, I just feel itd have been better without you” I replied and he laughed.
“I’ve been wondering…do you even recognize me at all?” I asked.
“Of course. How Can I ever forget the big a$s girl?”
“Oh, really? And you still have the guts to show your face to me?”
“Well, of course. I mean, we’re jnlaws from now on. So, I guess we need to be in good terms.”
“Oh! Please, I don’t have any plans of being in good terms with a criminal”.
“If you don’t watch your tongue, I might have to cut it out for you”.
“Please be my guest”.
He smirked and bent his head.
“You’re lucky the police came to save you that day” he said.
“Else, I guess you wouldn’t be so bold to talk to me right now.”
“And I guess you wouldn’t be so bold to breath right now” I replied and he smiled and drank from his glass again.
“Well, I guess it’s never too late to finish what has been started” he said and I scoffed.
Hold on; is he trying to say…
“Darling” a young pretty lady Called as she scuttled towards us.
I didn’t know her.
She Came to where we were and hugged Royce.
Huh?
“Hey love” the Royce guy replied and gave her a peck.
Okay; what’s going on?
“I’ve been looking for you. I didn’t know you were here” the lady said and looked at me.
“Oh! Its the latest bride! Hello” she beamed.
“H-Hi” I gave a perfunctory reply.
I was still confused.
“You’re so petty dear. Nice having you into the family” she said.
“You..Are you also a relative?” I asked and she laughed.
“No dear. I’m Royce’s fiancee” she replied and I rose my brows.
Woah.
Hold on;
Seriously?
I looked at Royce and he was smiling and staring at me.
“Wow!” I mouthed.
“So…you do have a fiancee?” I asked, referring to him.
“Of course he does. And actually, I do live here in the mansion with him. Besides, we’ll be getting married in a short time” she replied happily, leaning her head on his shoulders.
“Wow. Congrats” I said, looking at him.
So, he’s actually engaged? Yet he’s such a fl!rt.
Oh! If only the poor girl knows what she’s getting into.
“By the way, im Lana” she said and brought out her hand for a handshake.
“I’m Bethel” I said with a foax smile as I received the Handshake.
“Come on baby. Let’s go” she said to Royce and her sighed and dropped his glass on the table.
“See you later Bethel”, he said with an eye wink and left with the Lady.
Geez! Disgusting.
I really Can’t believe this.
The party finally came to an end after a very long time as all the guests started dispersing.
I also became tired and decided to get some rest since Nicole had left as well.
“Come on Bethel. I’ll show you to your room” Ryan’s mum said as I was about entering the sitting room.
I smiled and followed her.
“I hope you enjoy your stay here Bethel. Perhaps, very soon, Ryan might decide to take you to one of his mansions so you two can have alone time” she said and I felt like puking.
Oh, please!
She was so excited – same as mum who left a while ago.
I climbed the stairs with her went a long way until she finally stopped walking.
“Your husband’s waiting for you” she said with a smile and looked at the room in front of us.
Oh! Was that my room?
Sorry; our room?
I stared at the door and stared back at her.
“Come on. Go in” she said and I swallowed hard and opened the door.
A sweet scent filled my nose immediately and the room wasn’t too bright; so, I couldn’t see clearly immediately.
I went fully into the room, closing the door behind me and slowly, my eyes adjusted to the dimness of the room.
Oh, my! Ryan was on the bed!
I mean, he was sitting on the bed.
I swallowed hard and suddenly, he turned to look at me.
Our eyes met and that was the moment I wished I could just disappear.
He looked away and continued with what he was doing – operating his phone.
I bit my lips and looked down at the floor.
Am I really going to share the room with Ryan?
Mr Popular.
Mr S3x freak.
Oh, geez!
How do we share the bed?
Am I really going to sleep on it?
Oh, heavens.
I can’t believe I’m married to this guy.
I walked few steps further into the room.
Then a thought suddenly niggled at me.
Oh, God!
My dress.
How do I unzip it?
My hand wouldn’t be able to reach the zipper.
Who’s gonna help me with it?
