章 23: Wedding: Blood, guns and deaths part I

All night planning, thinking, drinking the pain away and partying hard.

Everyone was doing their own thing for the big day.

But Demar and Zora weren't the only ones planning a plan to escape the wedding. . .

*Ring, ring*

He tosses and turns in bed before actually picking up the ringing phone that has rung around 10 times already.

"Hello?"

"I have got a plan. . ." the mysterious stern voice said.

"A plan? What exactly?"

"Just remember to bring your strap. . ." the mysterious stern voice said, then hang up.

In the darkest time of the night, the sleeping voice said so boldly, "Shit's about to go down."

***

As I said before, everyone had their plans. We'll just have to wait to hear the alarm clock go off.

*Beep, beep, beep*

"Click!" that's the sound of a gun ready for war.

"Remember your position. Things will get messy real fathering fast. Rules are simple, don't drop your mask, get Zora to safety and no brother left behind. Is that understood!"?

"YES, BOSS!"

"LET'S MOVE OUT!"

***

A wedding is about love, joy and happiness, but have you ever heard about a wedding being blood, guns and deaths?

Many innocent lives will be lost today, many guns will be on scene and blood will flow just like a river.

Now let the day begins. . .

"O my God, you look like a goddess!" Rebecca fake a smile as she runs into Zora's dressing room.

Zora, who was in a beautiful white dress with her hair dye in black and curled with make-up on, was smiling and means it went to hug her step-sister.

"Rebecca, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for being a loyal person to me when I had no one else. Now that I am leaving, I hope you won't miss me too much," Zora said happily as she went in for another hug.

"Why does it feel like you are telling me goodbye?" Rebecca asked in a sad tone, but deep down she has been praying to get rid of her.

This is her plan too; how to walk all over Zora and the truth shall set her free, but for something to break free, it has to break something.

"Go and sit down. I will be out soon," Zora politely refuses to answer her step-sister's question since she knew she was leaving because after the wedding Zora's taking the higher road.

"It's time. . ." they all say as they have been waiting 48 hours for this to come.

As the church door was open welcoming the most beautiful girl in the world dressed in her full white, everyone stands and welcome her.

As she slowly walks to the beat of the song Still don't know my name, smile and scan the crowd, tears drop slowly came to her eyes, but not because of being married—being sold in marriage.

But the fact this day was to be special. Be about two souls coming together to be one, but as realistic as life gets, bad things happen to good people.

As she stands at the altar with a man, she never loves or cares about, she fakes a smile.

"We are gathered here to celebrate two souls coming together as one. We all wish for you both to have a wonderful life together. For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish, and to obey, till death do their part. Please exchange vows."

"Let's skip that part and head to the good part!" Mr Bins quickly said.

"Okay! If there are no objections to this marriage, let them be husband—" the pastor was interrupted as Josh objected.

"I object!"

"You can't marry him! I love you since I first laid eyes on you! Please refuse and be mine!" Josh said as he went down on one knee.

But sadly, while Josh was confessing his love for her, Zora had spotted someone familiar in the coward that her heart skip a beat as the person got up and walk out of the church.

Tears drop slowly fall from her eyes as she was heartbroken, knowing that today did not go as she plans.

Completely ignoring Josh confessing his love for her, she felt someone come behind her and push her down.

*BANG*

"O my gosh! The famous Rebecca has pushed her sister down straight to the floor!" A news reporter said who was videoing the entire inside and outside of the church.

Zora took the fall and said nothing, then runs her hand over her tummy.

"I see you found out that you are pregnant! You bitch, I was aiming for that child!" Rebecca shouts as she points her hands in Zora's face.

Everyone heard what Rebecca said, and everyone was shocked, including Zora.

Zora had no clue that she's pregnant. Yes, she has been taking medicines, but she thought it was that she's getting older and can't manage her abusive father's rage.

Zora only rubs her tummy because she remembers that Doctor Lin told her to avoid falling on her belly and if she has, she should ensure to rub her tummy and feel if she is feeling pain anywhere in her belly.

Yes, she questions why she was to do that, but Doctor Lin lies while protecting her and himself.

"Could this baby be for the mafia lord that kiss me so much?" Zora wonders to herself because she believes she had seen him leaving a couple of minutes ago.

"This bitch right here, she took every fathering thing from me! My men's, my popularity and my fathering life!" Rebecca continue to curse at Zora, who was just worried about her child and the father of her child.

Josh rush over to help Zora up but as he was Rebecca shouts, "BITCH! I am not the only one being FAKE to you! That BITCH beside you has FATHERED me before more than once and he's as FAKE as I am to you!"

"That's enough!" Josh shouts as he left Zora's side and grab Rebecca by the throat.

*POW! POW! POW!*
