Chapter 19 - Wedding gift

It's time for Emmanuel Anderson's dream to become a reality. His desires to become a passion .

It's his wedding day,his joyful day.

The entire cathedral is well decorated , it's more beautiful than the chambers.

It shines like the rising sunshine in the cool morning.

All people sitted quietly like they are waiting to see the new crowned king.

Slow melodic tunes playing from every corner of the cathedral.

Claire Anderson looks just perfect and great as a queendom.

She quite awesome in her sleeveless golden dress with a medium slit on her left leg.

Her face is somehow grumpy but trying her level best to hide it Infront of the people.

Marcus Anderson in his black suit and white shirt with a red and green flowers in the coat pockets looks amazing and cheerful.

With less smile on his wrinkled face.

The groom of the day is marvelous and cheerful with a deep smile on his face, standing between his parents.

Everything is so far perfect and promising.

In a meanwhile, the bride got into the church , walking slowly towards the alter where the groom is.

Her beauty is more extreme than before, she looks more like the angel of life.

Her white wedding gown with diamond crystals make her shine like a little growing star among the many in the galaxy.

The red lipstick applied on her lips made them look more attractive and sexier.

Her curled hair fall in her back.

Back to business.

After reaching the alter , Emmanuel who has long waited gave his hand , she slowly hand her right hand to him.

The holy father who has been waiting started to do his job.

Before they could proceed with the the rituals, the church has to approve the qualification of the two lover- birds to start a holy relationship.

No one seems to disagree with their relationship.

And now, it's time to make the vows , Emmanuel Anderson goes fast.

" Mr Anderson, do you accept Miss Ricky to be your wedded wife until death separates you ?"

" Yes , father ".

" Miss Ricky , do take Mr Anderson as your wedded wife until death separates you".

" I do , father".

" Now it's time to exchange rings ". The father says as one of the alter servers bring the rings.

Emmanuel Anderson picks up the first ring and he slowly put it on Anita's fourth finger.

Anita also picks up the ring, she almost put the ring on his finger before the screens displayed her pictures kissing Josh Rocky.

Followed by her video confessing her love to him.

What's happening now?

This family is full of secrets.

Is this girl a golddigger or something else.

Perhaps the people are saying such words or maybe asking different questions in their minds.

Let's find out.

The Andersons look so surprised and embarrassed.

Anita Ricky can't put her face towards the audience , she is beyond the degree of shame.

The father is standing quiet holding on Emmanuel's shoulder.

People whispering and muttering, others pointing fingers towards Anita and the Andersons.

Claire can no longer bare the shame , she makes her way to Anita Ricky.

She angrily slap her face.

" You witch , you seriously want to destroy my son's life.

Why don't you leave our family in good peace .....?"

" Madam, all of this is not real , it's forged work. Someone is trying to play on our minds and that is none than Josh Rocky...." Anita defends herself.

" Quiet. We've had enough already , Anita.

Do you've proof that this is forged ". Marcus interferes.

" Do you love my love my son or that jerk Jo....?" He adds.

" She love me, dad. And I believe her.

I don't need any proof for that". Emmanuel says.

" I don't care what people say , I don't care about those stupid pictures and videos.

Or even what the two of you think of her, all I know is that I love her". Emmanuel adds.

Anita's eyes filled with tears, perhaps tears of guiltiness or shame.

" My love , don't say much. These people are not willing to listen to you". Anita says as she gets out of the church.

Emmanuel followed as well.

At the Rocky jewelries.

Josh is hitting a tennis ball on the wall Infront of him as he observes the CCTV cameras.

The footage show Emmanuel Anderson fighting with the security guards outside.

" Fighting and struggling is just part of my life but not yours , my dear brother".

Soon enough , you will quit this game".

Josh says as he makes a wry laughter.

Back to Anita Ricky , she is sitted on her bed.

She is thinking about the pictures and the videos that were displayed on the screens.

How the people where whispering and pointing fingers towards her.

" He didn't just humiliated me but also killed my reputation as a woman.

I won't let him go with it ..., he has to pay for what he have done".

Anita says as she gets off the bed.

Outside her door , Emmanuel is lying with a face filled with bruises.

Anita reaches her door and she opens.

Her eyes landed on Emmanuel lying unconsciously.

She quickly carry him inside the house. " Gosh! What has happened to you now?" Anita says as he apply medicine on his wounds.

" Ouch". Emmanuel says in pain.

" Did you fall in the bad gang's?" Anita asks him.

" No. Josh Rocky's guards are the one's who made me look this way.

I wanted to talk to him about what he did but I didn't get that chance".

" Why on earth did you go to that heartless jerk?

He is of no good...."

"I only wanted him to clear your name. I went there to talk to him in a good heart"

" Listen, this is my war and I will deal with him by myself.

Thank you for caring about me but I don't want you to be hurt because of me". Anita says as she walks away.

" Where are you going now?"

" Am going to finish what I started....".

At the Rocky house.

Josh Rocky is sitted in his bedroom, holding his mum's photo and alcohol bottles surrounding him.

His face is so paled and his eyes are red with tears inside them.

Outside the compound, Anita is snicking inside the house.
