Chapter 19 Destroy the bride’s dress
I returned back to woke after having lunch with George.
As I walked inside my office and sitting down, Diana barged in.
“OMG. You’re damn right!.. oh my God, Janelle. I saw him – George. Gosh, he was damn so cute with his small round and sexy pink lips.”she drooled.
“Careful, Diana. That’s my husband you are talking about.”I frowned.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
“Oh, I’m sorry, lover – girl. But, no one can resist an handsome man like him.”she smiled.
I scoffed and picked up my pen.
“Anyway, did your mom knows about this?. Your wedding, I mean.”she asked.
That was when it hit me.
Mama mercy!.
I gasped and covered my mouth with my palm.
“You didn’t?. C’mon, Janelle. You’re more than a prodigal daughter!.”she yelled.
Oh. How did I managed to forget, huh?.
“No matter what, girl. She’s still your mother. You should go visit her after work.”she said and I nodded.
God. I’m really a bad daughter.
Though, what she did annoyed me, but, not till the point of not telling her about my wedding.

I headed to the convenience store after closing from work.
The bell jingled as I opened the door and I saw mom attending to a customer.
“Welcome.”she greeted without looking as she was busy ringing what the customer bought.
She told her the amount of the money for the goods and she brought out her wallet and paid for it.
Mom packed her goods up for her and she left..
“Hey.”I said as I moved close to the counter.
“Huh?, Janelle?. Oh, my God, where I’ve you been, baby. You literally shut me out of her life.”she said as she ran and pulled me in a hug.
I smiled and unlocked the hug.
Mom and her over – exaggerations.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”I replied and kiss her cheeks softly.
“I’m happy you came back, baby.”she said almost at the brink of tears.
“I miss you mom. I might be a big head to admit it but I really miss you.”I smiled.
“Jane, we’ve run out of milk and..”
I turned to the voice only to see Beck.
What?.
What’s she doing here?.
“Oh, look who we have here.„”she winked.
I chuckled and greeted her.
“Does this means you know about my wedding?.”I threw a suspicious look at her.
“From the get – go. Remember I told you the other time you will be getting married in two weeks time.”mom grinned.
“Come on, Janelle. Give me a hand in the storage.”Beck said while working away and I smiled before dropping my bag on the counter and followed her behind.

*… The next day….*
I went to work and came back to the mansion at noon with Diana.
She said we should both go for the bride maids dress.
She has managed to convinced the women at work to pose at my maids on the wedding day and they had agreed.
She kept gushing out in admiration all the way from outside.
She sat on the couch and smiled.
I told her to feel at home and I went to the kitchen and grab two boxes of orange juice and walked back to the room.
I gave her one box of juice and she accepted it with gratitude.
I took the remote and put on the TV.
“Geez.. this felt so good. You’re living in riches , girl!.”she smiled as she glanced around.
I only smiled…
Then, the door opened and Ren stepped in with a nylon bag.
He paused when his eyes landed on Diana.
And, it seems like, they both stopped.
Huh?.
“Ren?.”I called and snapped my finger.
“You’re… you’re the bar girl.”he said and I furrowed my brows.
Bar girl?.
“And… you’re the one that saved me the other day.. you’re…”Diana stuttered and I turned to her.
What’s happening?.
Did they know each other?
….
“What?, are you guys.. like, acquaintance?.”I asked Diana, befuddled.
“God. He’s the guy u said I met back at the bar, the one that saved me from getting raped.”Diana explained and my brows shot up.
Oh.
He’s her bar – guy, and, she’s his bar – girl.
Woah.
They keep staring at themselves and I scoffed.
“So?, are just going to keep doing that?. Come on, Ren, be a man and take my friend outside and…”I winked at him and he smiled.
“Thanks, ma’am. Shall… shall we?.”he asked Diana nervously.
She stood up shyly and walked to him and they both walked out.
I shook my head and smiled.
How fate works!.
George came in afterwards and stared at me in confusion.
“Who is that?.”he asked.
“My friend.”I smiled.
“Your friend?, so, why is she with Ren?. Like, Ren was leading
her…”
“Oh, leave the latest couples. Remember when Ren was ranting about a girl he met in the bar?, well, turns out the girl is my friend!.”I giggled happily.
Then, he smiled, which I found strange.
“You talk just like a kid!.”he said and I chuckled.
Well… I shrugged.
He came to sit down beside me.
“But, can your friend handle him?.”he suddenly asked.
Huh?.
“What do you mean, George.”
“Ren is player, you know. He’s a very bad playboy.. he breaks out every minutes and..”
“Well, that won’t happen with my friend. He’s already fallen deeply for her so, he couldn’t probably break her heart up and if at all he does, then, I will kill him!.”I threatened.
“Oh.”George mouthed.
“You sounded so confident.”he smiled.

Unknown Pov.
I walked stealthily out of the house.
I keep glancing back in fear.
I prayed silently in my head that nobody will see me.
I saw the car parked at a side and I scurried towards it.
I knocked on the window glass and it was whined down.
She opened the door and I got in.
“Hey.”she said.
“Hey… please, I don’t have much time. What’s it you have to tell me?.”I asked.
“Well,”she started and handed a brown carton to me.
I accepted it and peeped inside.
My eyes beamed immediately I saw what was inside.
“I believe that will help in your sister’s school fees.”she said.
Oh, my God.
I covered my mouth with my palm and still couldn’t believe my eyes.
Oh!.
“What do you want, I will do anything for you.”I said in excitement.
“It’s quite simple, anyway. I want you to destroy the bride’s dress and on the wedding day.”
