Imma's pov;
" Ms Imma wake up,you have guests." I heard the maid calling.
I uncovered my face and stared at her annoyed. " What's going on?" I asked then checked the time on my phone. It was 6 o'clock. " This early?" I asked again.
"Just come downstairs it's important." She said then left without even closing the door.
Jennie then woke up besides me,and pushed the eye mask off her face,to her forehead.
" What's going on Imma?" She asked.
" I don't know either, let's go downstairs and check it out." I told her.
Still in our pj's we climbed down the stairs and arrived at the living room,where I saw a lady in red suit and black louboutin heels. Her brunnet hair was wavy and she had make up on. There were other ladies behind her all dressed nicely.
She then walked towards us and greeted us. " Hello I'm Martha, I'm your designer, Mr. Miller sent me here." She introduced.
It's about the wedding, this early?
" You're Immaculate right?" She asked staring at me. I just nodded.
" So you're going to dress her up for the wedding?" Jennie asked looking surprised and excited at the same time.
" So shall we start?" She asked.
" Um_
" Here's your green tea Martha." Uncle C said after he joined us in the room. Martha took the tea while thanking him.
" Uncle did you know about this?" I asked him.
"Yeah, Mr. Miller called me last night and he explained everything, the wedding starts at 9:00,so you be ready now." He told me then pat my head.
"Are you ready Imma?" Jennie asked me.
I couldn't overthink it, I couldn't resist this marriage,and I couldn't ran, because my uncle will be dead. So I just accepted and followed Martha.
She sipped her tea then placed it on a nearby table. Her assistants, brought a wardrobe with wheels and opened it. There were clothes in clear plastic bags hanged.
" Great, Immaculate, I want you to choose according to what makes you happy." She said then made way for me to pass.
The gowns were all beautiful,she told me she made them herself. I just traced my fingers on them,the fabric were actually the original and they were awesome. Then one caught my eye, Martha saw my reaction and gestured to her assistant to help me get it out. It was a white ball gown, decorated with diamond crystals, the gown was sleeveless and at the behind was quite open but didn't seem to reveal a lot.
"Try it on." Martha said. I just nodded.
Later after taking a bath and Jennie helped with my makeup, Martha helped me get in to the gown, it wasn't easy since she had to pull the strings of the corset to ensure it fits perfectly around my small waist. When I approached the mirror, I couldn't recognize the image before me.
" You remind me of your mother's wedding day, she was as gorgeous." Uncle C said as he held my shoulders while standing behind me.
The dress fit me perfectly,and it was so long that it covered the white heels I had. My hair fell,on my back,and was accessorised with golden hair clips.
After everything was ready it was 8 already. A black rolls Royce,parked at our lot, waiting.
" You two take the rolls Royce, Luke and I will take my Mercedes together with my men." Uncle C said.
Jaden then got inside the house and led us out into the vehicle.
" You look nervous Imma." She told me then applied more lipgloss on her lips using the rearview mirror.
" I have to be, I mean I'm getting married, to someone who I am not even in love with." I told her.
She closed her lipgloss,placed it in her purse and turned to me." Call me a bad friend, but you accepted this marriage,why? To save uncle C, because you love and care about him." She said.
"In short you would have back down,but you still stayed because there is a place in your heart that wants to give him a chance...so I don't think there is room for you to bail, you're getting married to Mr. Miller and there's nothing you will do about it Imma ... it's fate." She added.
I couldn't hate her for telling me the truth, and I still need her by my side as always.
I held her hands, just promise me,that you will always be my best friend." I told her. She smiled then pulled me in for a hug. " Always Imma,I'm always here." She said.
I felt tears coming out of my eyes. She pulled back." You will spoil the makeup." She said then got the tissue and helped me wipe my eyes. " Sorry it's just that I got too emotional." I said sniffing. She drew my eyeliner again, powdered my cheeks and nose,then applied more lipstick.
" Just promise me,if he ever hurts you,tell me and I will get you out of there." She told me. I just nodded,then Jaden entered and he started the engine.
" Are you ok ladies?" He asked.
" We're fine, thank you, Jaden." Jennie replied.
Later on we arrived at the reception, it was at a preserved area in the hotel. I've been inside Damian's hotel but noth this side. When the vehicle stopped, Jaden opened the door for us and we climbed down. Jennie helped me to let my veil fall before my face.
Uncle approached us smiling. " Are you ready, I heard he's complaining you took too long Sweetheart." He said.
" Brides are known for taking their time during weddings." Jennie said making me to smile.
"Shall we?" He offered his arm, and I hooked mine with his after nodding. Luke also walked Jennie inside the building.
There were so many men in black, one could say it was funeral, they looked rich and once they noticed me,they stared at me with curiosity. I heard some whispering that we are poor I'm just my family's way to richness, but deep we're not,but I couldn't lose my shit now. " I heard his uncle just raised her so that he could marry her off so he could be paid and get rich...talk about using his own blood for wealth."
I got angry and tried to make a move,but my uncle pulled me to stop me. " It will make things worse, these are people not to mess with." He warned.
" But they are speaking I'll if you uncle C." I argued.
" It's okay, they'll shut up." He said,
I decided to listen and continued walking towards the front. Then that's when I saw him. Damian was in a black suit as always,his top buttons on the shirt were open, revealing his neckline. His silver eyes always cold,but looking at me they softened,then glared again. His black hair was well maintained, some fell to his right eye, making him look dangerously hot and his pale pink lips in a straight line. He really was serious about this wedding!
