Debby’s pov
Anna’s ap@rtment….!
I gaze at myself admiringly in the mirror… I swear I could ha-rd ly recognize myself.
My make-up is perfectly done, my hair beautifully styled and my white off shoulder go-wn is to die for.
I run my f!ngersthrou-gh the pearls in the go-wn… the silk used in ma-king this go-wn is of t©p quality…so smooth and soft…which makes me wonder how much the designer is gonna sell it.
“Wow!” Anna and Laura exclaimed as they walk into the room.
“I didn’t know you could be this beautiful” Anna said.
“No, gorgeous!” Laura corrects her.
I rolled my eyes… Laura runs her f!ngersthrou-gh the pearls.
“I bet this go-wn cost a fortune!” She said.
“Yeah…$150,500,000!” Anna said.
Laura quic-kly lets go of it and dust her hands.
“I better let go of it before I tear and will have to pay for it!”
I stare at her with my mouth wi-de open.
“I should be the one being careful…I mean, I can’t afford to pay if I tear it”
Anna and Laura rolls their eyes and shake their heads.
“As if your b©yfri£ndisn’t a freaking multi-billionaire!” They both said at once as if they planned it.
“Ex-b©yfri£nd!” I correct them.
“Whatever!” They said.
I frown..why are they saying the same thing at the same time?
Anna helps me up and leads me towards the living room… Laura gathers the go-wn in her hands so I wouldn’t step on it.
“Ok, Debs.. you’re modelling a wedding go-wn, you should behave like a bride…do whatever you’re asked to!”
I frown…her words are a bit confusing.
“Huh?”
“I mean, go with the flow… we’re getting a hvge pay for this, don’t spoil anything!”
“How much are we talking?” I asked….I wanna be sure how much I’m dealing with.
“About $70,000,000!”
My eyes grew wi-de and my mouth hang open…no sound coming out.
“Don’t scream, don’t scream!” Laura said and helped me calm down.
Just then the door open and Lucas rushed in…he st©ps abruptly and stared at me like he’s lost.
Well, I can’t blame him…I couldn’t recognize myself too!
“Debs, you are the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen… except my future wife though!” He said.
We all laughed at his last comment.
“What are you doing here?” Anna asked.
“You text me to come drive you to the show, remember?”
I catches him pas-s a pointed look at Anna…like he’s pas-sing a secret message.
What are they tryna do?
Anna seems to receive the message…she nods and smiles.
“Yeah, yeah.. I almost forgot!”
Laura also seem to un-derstand what they are doing, she’s being chuckling all along.
I wave their weird glances as nothing…all I wanna do now is finish this job and hear my phone beep to notify me that $70,000,000 has been transferred into my account.
“Guys, when are we leaving?” I asked.
“Right now!” Lucas said and sweeps me off my feet.
He carried me in his arms and head outside…I’m sure we’re heading toward his car.

Writer’s pov
Wedding hall….!
Everyone is at the wedding hall… Andre is alre-ady at the altar waiting for his bride…though the wedding isn’t held in the church or chapel.
Just an event hall.
Mr and Mrs Knight sat the front line with ma Doris… Martha, Diego and Mrs che-sterfield sits in the first line of the next roll.
Mrs Knight glaring daggers at Andre in the altar.. Andre tries by all means to avoid her burning gaze.
Sean…his best man..stands next to him, he leans closer to Andre’s ear and clears his throat.
“Why do I feel like your Mom is alre-ady killing you in her mind?”
“I’m alre-ady a dead man in her mind!” Andre replies and they chuckles lightly.
Andre checks his wrist watch and closes his eyes briefly.
“Why are they not here yet?” He complains silently.
“Calm down man, they’ll be here soon!” Sean encourages him.
Andre simply nods and adjust his suit…he look around and the congregation is filled… paparazzi everywhere.
He sm-irks…*what a great day!* He thought.
***
Meanwhile, Anna and co, have arrived… Lucas opens the door and helped Debby out.
Debby looked at the decorations outside and awed.
“Anna, tell me how much was put into this show!” She said rhetorically.
Her eyes zeroed on the inscription on the entrance.
*A&D*
She turns to Anna with a small frown.
“What’s the meaning of A&D?”
“Oh, that’s your initial..A for the male model and D for you!”
Debby doesn’t seem to get her but nod anyway.
“Debs, I don’t know if Anna told you this but there’s gonna be a little acting..you and the male model will act like you’re actually having a wedding”
She nods slowly.
“So, I’ll be like your father and walk you down the isle… Debs, whatever happens in there, just go with the flow!”
“Yeah, before you take any action plea-se think about the $70,000,000!” Anna said.
Debby smiled and taps Anna’s shoulder gently.
“Don’t worry, I’ll finish this show and get that money in our account!”
Lucas offered his arm and Debby took it…she smiles at Lucas and nod.
“Ok, here we go!” Lucas said and head in.
*****
The theme song pla-ys as Lucas walks in with Debby…all eyes turns towards them and Debby begin to feel nervous.
She leans closer to Lucas.
“Why do I feel like this is a real wedding?!” She whispers.
Lucas sm-irks.
“Because it’s a real wedding!”
She st©ps walking but Lucas stylishly drags her along.
“Why didn’t you tell me this before? I don’t even know who I’m getting married to!”
“Oh, you’re getting married to your baby daddy!”
“What?!” She st©ps walking again but Lucas stylishly drags her again.
“There’s no turning back now… remember you said you’d finish this show!”
“But he’s supposed to get married to Olivia!”
Lucas scoffs.
“Just pl@yalong and watch the drama!”

Debby’s pov
I feel like turning back right now.. I can’t believe they tricked me.
What if this is one of Andre’s trick to make me feel like a fool?
Before I knew it we’re alre-ady at the altar, Lucas hands me to Andre and walks back to the congregation.
I tries to snatch my hand from Andre’s but he didn’t let me, he held it in a ti-ght grip.
I briefly glance around the congregation… Mrs Knight has a shocked expression on…some security men are holding Mrs che-sterfield down.
While my Mom and Diego are smiling.. I frown, what is going on?
“Angel, we’re about to start!” Andre whisper to me.
I turned to him.
“Why am I your bride? Where is Olivia?”
“I don’t know…I just know I’m getting married to you today!”
The priest’s words catches my attention…
*Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in accordance with the almighty……..*
I tone him off and try to figure out what actually is going on?
Where is Olivia? If she’s here she wouldn’t let me stand up here with Andre!
I looked at Andre’s grandmother…she stands up and glares at us…me in p@rticular.
I quic-kly look away from her.
“I do!” I heard Andre say.
He nudge me gently and I frown in confusion. He stares at me like he’s waiting for me to say something…the congregation too are waiting for my response.
*Miss Ryan, do you take this man, Mr Andre Knight, as your lawfully wedded husband? In sickness and in health, for richer and poorer, come rain and sunshine…till death do you p@rt?*
I looked at Andre, he’s silently begging me with his eyes to say yes.
But how can I say yes when I don’t know what is going on? But then again, I should think about my baby…I can’t let my child be an illegitimate child.
“Angel? Say something!” Andre whisper.
I turned to the priest. “I do!”
*Is there an objection to the union between these two?*
Oh no! I look around fearing that Mrs che-sterfield or Olivia or even Andre’s grandmother will object.
But thankfully, some security men are refraining the two old haha and Olivia is not in sight.
*If none… plea-se change your rings!*
Sean rushed forward and gives Andre a ring… Anna also comes forward and hands me a ring.
I frown… that’s when I noticed her dressing, she’s my maid of honor!
I grit my teeth…they have a lot of explaining to do later. I glared at her and scoffs, turning back to Andre.
He holds my hand tenderly and sli-ps the ring in my f!nger….and I also did the same to his f!nger.
*By the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife….you may now k!ssyour bride!*
Andre held my face and crashes hisl-ips on mine….just then we heard a loud scream.
“Noooooo!”
I break the k!ssand turns to the direction the screaming c@m£ from…. it’s Olivia.
She took off her shoes and ran towards us…she pushes me away from Andre. I lost my balance and almost fell but Sean catches me before I could hit the ground.
“I’m the real bride! She’s an imposter!” She screams.
She gr-abs Andre’s hand and link their arms…then turns to the priest.
“Wed us! I’m the real bride not her!”
Andre re-moves his arm from hers and pushed her away…. Olivia falls down. Andre comes to my side and wra-p his arm around my w@!st.
“What is happening, Andre?” She asked.
By now both family members are gathered at the altar…. Olivia gets up and stares at Andre with tears brimming in her eyes.
“Andre, what is happening? I’m the one you wanted to marry…what is she doing here?”
Andre move his gaze to her legs.
“I thought you’re crippled and can’t walk….why are you suddenly standing on your feet?” He asked.
Olivia looked down at her legs and quic-kly falls down and starts gro-an ing in pain.
“That was a reflex action!” She said.
Andre chuckles and reached for something in his pocket…he takes out a paper and opens it.
“This is the real CT scan results!”
Sean snatches it from Andre and re-ads it out to everyone’s hearing.
“Summary of translated CT examination: all areas of the scan were within normal limits, no abnormalities!”
g@sps were heard…so, her legs have been healed all these while and she was just lying.
Or maybe she wasn’t injured at all…she really did took advantage of my kindness.
“You lied to my wife that we have a child together!”
His wife? I smiled at that.
“You even paid a doctor to lie to my wife that she’s gonna go blind, so she can leave and you’ll marry me!”
What? That was just a lie? The doctor lied to me?
Olivia got up and glares at me.
“Yes, I lied about my legs injuries but I didn’t lie about us having a child together!” She defends herself.
“Oh, really!” Andre laughed. “Lucas bring them in!” He yells.
Right then Lucas comes in with the matron we met at the orphanage and two other men..with doctor Wang.
Olivia’s expression right now is so funny…she look scared yet tried to stay strong.
“Do you know these people?” Andre asked.
“I..I..no!”
Mrs che-sterfield pushes Olivia behind her and stand in front of her in a protective stance.
“What are you tryna do, Andre?”
“Oh, I forgot…your sin is even greater!” Andre said.
“What sin?”
Lucas steps forward and glares at Mrs che-sterfield.
“Do you recognize me?” Lucas asked.
Mrs che-sterfield frowns and stares at him trying to recall but shakes her head after a while.
“Mr and mrs Craig… does it sound familiar to you?”
Mrs che-sterfield staggers back in shock…her mouth slightly open as she gaps like a fish un-der water.
“You killed my father and made my mom lost her mind..then took over my family’s wealth!”
“No! You don’t have evidence..you can’t accuse me!”
Lucas laughs.
“I have everything I nee-d to sue you!” Lucas said and throws some record tapes and files on the floor.
Mrs che-sterfield stares at them and shakes her head.
“No! No! No!”
“Yes! The police are alre-ady here… there’s no where for you to run to.. you’ve done enough running!”
Andre turns to Olivia and smiled….he looks her in the eyes and crashes hisl-ips on mine.
He k!$$£d me briefly. The breaks the k!ssand pu-ll-ed me closer.
“Olivia, you alre-ady lost me long ago…since you cheat on me and told the media I’m a five minutes man! I alre-ady hates you long ago before Debby c@m£….she has nothing to do with my hatred for you!”
Diego cl@ps his hands and c@m£ forward… He stands in front of Olivia.
“I told you before… forcing a man to marry you is just trying to turn black to white…. You’ve long lost your mind”
She raised her hand to sl@p him but Diego catches her hand.
“Don’t even try it!” He pushed her.
“If I’m going down, your bit-chy mother is coming with me!” Olivia said and points at Martha. “She’s my accomplice… we made all these plans together!’
What? My mom? I know she doesn’t want me but I didn’t know she hated me to this extent!
“Oh, I forgot to tell you… Martha is working for me!” Andre said.
Everyone turned to him with a surprise expression… She’s working for him?
“Martha c@m£ to my office three weeks ago and told me everything Olivia and Mrs che-sterfield are planning…. She also told me she’s my Angel’s birth mother…. She told me the reason she married into the thompson’s family is to find out the real her husband’s company went bankrupt and that’s because Mrs che-sterfield bought all the shares in his company….”
Wait.. so that means, my mom didn’t abandon me! She didn’t leave because my dad was poor… I never knew the real story behind her leaving.
I have been blaming her wrongly.
“…. The only way she could get her revenge is by ex-posing Mrs che-sterfield evil deeds. She told me to pl@yalong with her and that’s why we’re able to expo-se Mrs che-sterfield and Olivia today!” Andre explain.
Olivia glares at my mom.. she rushed to her dad and tug his shi-t.
“Dad, you see.. that woman is evil, she sold us out!”
Mr Thompson re-moves her hand and move closer to my mom, he wra-ps his arm around her w@!st and pu-ll-ed her closer.
“She did the right thing… She alre-ady told me the truth before I married her. Everyone should be responsible for their actions!” He said.
Olivia staggers back and falls down.. she pas-sed out.
“Officers! Take them away!” Andre said.
The police men comes forward and carries them out.. Mrs che-sterfield bowed her head in shame.
“Phew! The bad guys are gone!” Anna cl@ps.
Diego st©ps in front of me.
“So, you’re my sister after all”
I smiled and raffles his hair. I though I was an only child, I never knew I’d have a kid brother someday.
My mom comes to me with tears in her eyes… I couldn’t control the tears in my eyes… I let them flow down.
“My child….”
“Mom!”
She opens her arms and I quic-kly rushed in… we hvg each other ti-ghtly and cry in each other’s arms.
“I shouldn’t have left you, Debby.. I’m sorry.. I’m so sorry.. I c@m£ back to look for you but you moved out and I heard your dad was dead.. I didn’t know where to search for you… I’m sorry.. my child… Forgive me…”
I laugh between tears.
“Mom, don’t blame yourself.. you’re the best mom ever!”
She continue crying until we couldn’t no more… We pu-ll away, she wipes my tears and I wipe hers.
“Don’t cry or my grandbaby will be ugly!” She said.
I nod and smile.
“Mom, I wish you could cry for me too!” Diego said.
“Don’t worry, Diego.. I’m gonna cry for you if mom doesn’t!” I told him.
But he shakes his head.
“No! I don’t want my nephew or niece to be ugly!”
I laughed. Mr Thompson wipes my tears and smile at me.
“I’m your mother’s husband.. can I have the honor of being your dad?” He asked.
Mr Thompson doesn’t seem like a bad man, in fact looking at my mom I can tell he’s being very good to her.
I nod. “Yes…. dad!”
Just then I heard a resounding sl@p… I turned and found out Andre was the receiver.
“Mom, what was that for?” Andre grumbles.
“That was for almost giving me a heart attack!” Mrs Knight said and turns to me. “Debby dear, welcome to the family!”
Andre glares at her and grumbles un-der his breath.. he crossed his arms across his che-st.
I chuckled lightly… He’s just a big crying baby right now.
“Thank you, Mrs Knight”
She pinches my cheek softly. “It’s Mom now!”
“Oh!”
“Say it!” She said.
“Mom!” I repeats…she smiles and pinches my cheek.
“That’s a good girl!”
Ma Doris takes slow steps towards me…she reached for my hand.
“My dear, I have greatly offended you, can you forgive me…I didn’t know Mrs che-sterfield is such a despicable person…I would have made a great mistake had Andre got married to Olivia!”
I smiled…I can’t blame her. She doesn’t know me and she thought Olivia is an ideal wife material.
“Grandma, you don’t have to apologise…you should be giving us your blessings instead!”
She laughs…she pu-lls me down as I’m a bit taller than her. She k!$$£d my forehead.
“Be happy, dear!”
“Thanks grandma”
“All I nee-d from you and Andre is just 12 great-grandchildren!”
“Grandma!” I exclaimed.
She laughs and wi-nk at me…ok, I never knew grandma have this side in her… cheerful and pla-yful.
“What? I have only one chil and one grandchild…why can’t I have more great-grandchildren?”
“Debby, your grandma is right!” My Mom said.
I inhale de-eply. “Then I’ll nee-d a lot of strength!”
Arms encircle my w@!st from behind…I know it’s him. He’s the only one that have full right to hold me without answering to anyone… he’s the one whom I thought I could hide my problems from.
But he’s very wise, I’m the foolish one…he saw throu-gh me and helped me out!
“My wife!” He said.
I blu-shed and tries to pu-ll away from him but he didn’t let me.
“I’m sorry..so sorry for breaking your heart and ma-king you feel like I don’t nee-d you…I was a fool….”
I turn in his arms and crash myl-ips on his.. cutting him off. I break the k!ssand smile
“I should be the one saying sorry… I shouldn’t have hide things from you… I’m sorry!”
He smiles. “Let forget about the past… We are now husband and wife.. and we’re also expecting a baby.. let’s think of our future together, how to make it better!”
I nod and rest my head on his che-st. Anna clears her throat and pu-lls me away from Andre.
“What about your br@ve best friends? Don’t you think you are forgetting something?” She asked…. pu-lling my cheeks.
“Ouch! Ouch!” I slowly re-moves her hand. “I’m sorry!”
“I don’t wanna hear sorry!” She huffed.
I pu-ll-ed her into a hvg.
“Thanks Anna..for being there for me!”
“Not thanks…. you’ll take me shopping and bring your credit card to comfort me!”
“Huh? I’m poor, remember!”
She rolls her eyes.
“Your parents rich, your in-laws are rich and your husband is a fv¢king multi-billionaire…how are you poor?”
I sighed.
“Fine! I’ll take you shopping!”
She smiles.
“That’s more like it!”
Everyone laughs… Andre takes my hand.
“Now let’s get the p@rty started!”
“Aren’t you gonna go for honeymoon?” My mother-in-law asked.
Honeymoon? We didn’t discuss about having a wedding.. so, we didn’t make any plans for honeymoon!
“Angel, where do you want us to go for our honeymoon?”
“India!” I said without thinking.
I love india… I wanna experience their colorful culture and taste some of their food.
“We’ll go there after we rock this p@rty!”
“Yay!” Anna, Lucas, Sean, Michael, Laura and Diego cheers.
I shake my head.
Life!
I never knew I’d see my mom someday… I never knew I’d end up marrying an educated man who would love me, come rain and sunshine!
In fact, I never knew I’d end up having a family as big as this… I also got to make new friends.
Thank God for bringing Andre into my life and ma-king me achieve all these throu-gh him!
The
End.
Wow. We finally at the end. You guys are amazing
