THE CAFÉ
"Boss, I'll go ahead, I just served the last customer" Ruby said while in the changing room...loud enough for her boss outside to hear her.
"Ruby, you have one more customer..." Her boss replied.
"Oh Lord, will I ever get a break!" Ruby complained to herself as she went out of the changing room.
Only for her evening to be more upseting.
"You?" She snapped at Erick.
"Pretty lady, ofcourse it's me" Erick replied.
"Get out of here!" She yelled.
"I don't think your boss will like it if he finds out you're rude to his VIP customer" Erick replied.
"The hell!! Fine...what do you want?" Ruby calmed herself down.
If her boss found her lashing out at him, she'd never hear the end of it.
"Ruby, let's date... I really like you"Erick said.
"No! Never" Ruby blankly replied.
"Come on, why do you have to treat me like this..." Erick said sadly.
"I'm not ready to date you, you're just not my type" Ruby replied with confidence.
"Why are you women so hard to understand...okay forget that, did you know your friend's getting married..... tomorrow" Erick said.
"Tomorrow? Emma didn't tell me anything about that"Ruby replied.
"Well, she is..... she'll tell you about it, it was a surprise to us too, but everything's been set now"Erick said.
"Atleast will you be my date tomorrow, if you don't agree...I'll tell your boss how you treat his VIP customers"Erick continued to say.
"If I go with you tomorrow, will you stop bothering me?" Ruby asked.
"I swear, I'll stop" Erick replied.
"Fine, I'll go with you" Ruby gave in.
"Let me drive you home too, its late" Erick used the opportunity before him.
"Whatever"Ruby replied before she grabbed her things from the changing room and went out with Erick.
DRAKEN AND EMMA'S HOME
Draken and Emma lay beside each other in their room.
After they came from the hospital, they had dinner at their favorite restaurant and came straight home.
"Your dad likes me....I can't believe that he was my mom's best friend" Emma said.
"At least someone really cared about her" she continued to say.
"I never heard about that story, dad never told me about it...and you, you're my little bird.." Draken replied.
Little bird was the name she gave herself when they were kids.... Draken loved calling her that.
"Mom left, but I got something better...you" Emma said before he kissed her forehead.
She was already sleepy and tired from the things they'd done together for their wedding tomorrow.
"Emma sleep tight, tomorrow's going to be a long day...." Draken whispered, closing his eyes as well.
THE NEXT DAY...
LD CITY GARDENS...
BREAKING NEWS!!
"We're here live at the LD City gardens, where the wedding of one of the city's tycoons...David Hunt, and Samantha Dave, an heiress to the Dave fortune will be held.....as you can see, the decorations have been well set and everything stands out... please stay tuned to our channel for more updates"
Every TV channel was broadcasting the wedding....it was the trending news allover the city. This was Draken's plan...he wanted everyone to watch.
Invited guests had started to arrive, including the executives from both Ouracle and Dave Corp, the two biggest companies in the city.
They weren't going to miss this for the world.... the union they'd long been waiting for, between the two companies...
Everyone thought that it'd be David and Samantha getting married...but Draken was going to change everything...and give them a surprise wedding....
EMMA'S CHANGING ROOM...
"I don't know Ruby, I'm so nervous...and Draken's not here with me"Emma said while staring at her reflection in the mirror.
Her make up was already done and her hair was also styled...the only thing that was remaining was for her to put on her wedding dress....and wait for the official hour.
Her changing room was hidden...no one could find out that she was even there.
"It's normal for you to be nervous Emma....it's your big day...you look so pretty"Ruby replied.
She was her bridesmaid for the day.
"I feel like I'm the only one nervous here, Draken's not even here yet, I wonder where he is" Emma said..
As soon as he dropped her....he left, promising to be back in time...but Emma was worried about him.
"You know your husband is a busy man, even Erick....my so called date isn't here yet" Ruby replied.
The thought of Erick holding her hand later irritated her.
"Wait, what is going on between you and Erick?" Emma asked after noticing her facial expression.
"Nothing, he's just so clingy... I don't know how to get rid of him" Ruby replied....but Emma just laughed.
"It's not funny, why are you laughing?"Ruby asked... clearly annoyed.
"You know, that's how Draken was when I first met him, very clingy and I didn't like him at first....but look at us now, getting married the second time"Emma replied.
"If someone like your husband clinged to me I would be very lucky, Erick is not my type" Ruby said.
"It's not about having a type, love is something that you don't joke with, if it hits you... there's no way you can resist it" Emma replied.
"Oh wow, you're such a love therapist now!" Ruby exclaimed....while Emma continued to laugh at her.
Meanwhile
"Boss, Shaun and I have already tested it, this sedative will knock the both of them out until our work's done"Erick said, handing Draken a small bottle.
He had a plan.... and the three of them were already setting it in motion.
"I could just kill them both instead of toying around with them....but, I want Emma to see the expression on their faces after my surprise for her"Draken coldly replied.
Draken was fed up of seeing David's face...he wouldn't think twice about killing him...or Sam, or anyone else who threatened Emma's life.
He despised David...and his patience for him was running out.
"Where is David?" He asked... putting on his black gloves..
"Shaun's tailing him, he's not at the venue yet....but Samantha is"Erick replied.
"I'll have to put down David first..you can handle Sam, we have to be quick...I can't make my wife wait for so long"Draken said... hoping into his bike..and Erick hoped onto his as well..
"Erick, head back to the venue and take care of things there... just follow the plan"Draken added, putting on his helmet.
"Sure boss....I won't let you down" Erick replied before they both parted their ways.
Draken rode his bike towards Shaun's location... because where he was currently, was where David would be...
Shaun had caught up to the car that David was in, and knocked him out...
By the time Draken arrived, he was slowly starting to regain his consciousness.
"Nice work, Shaun...you can leave it to me now, go ahead to the venue and also follow the plan" Draken ordered him...
"Ok boss" Shaun replied before he hoped onto his bike and left.
"Hi, you're finally awake!" Draken squatted down to David's level since he was lying on the ground.
"Y... you" David replied...his vision was still blurry but he could hear Draken's voice....even though he couldn't see his face properly.
"What a shame!! You disgrace us all the grooms to be....look at yourself" Draken said... trying to control his anger.
"Y..you w..want to stop my wedding to S..Sam!"David still struggled to speak.
"Me? Why would I?, I wouldn't care if you two tied the knot...the only problem is that I chose to also get married on this day, and only one of us can"Draken said.
"W..what are you talking about?" David asked.
"You don't need to know" Draken replied before he mercilessly pressed the handkerchief with the sedative on his face....and only removed it when he couldn't move at all.
"Now you'll feel all the pain you put me through" Draken said to himself.
WEDDING VENUE...
LD CITY GARDENS...
Erick had done what Draken had told him to, knock out Sam and hide her where no one could find her....
The official hour was approaching....more and more guests had arrived... including the two families...
Draken's parents, Sam's mom, Alex...the heartbroken cousin and other close friends to both the families.
The wedding officiant had also already arrived...
"Where were you Erick? Do you know I was worried you wouldn't even show up!"Ruby snapped at Erick the moment she saw him in Emma's changing room.
"I still had to get ready and look good enough for a beautiful lady like you" Erick replied.
"Oh please....."Ruby almost lashed out at him but Emma stopped her.
"Erick where's Draken, he's still not here yet"Emma sadly said..
She was scared he wouldn't show up and break his promise to her..
She'd already finished dressing up in her wedding gown.
"Boss ma'am, you don't have to worry...he promised he'd be here in time...all you have to do is wait for him here... he'll take you out of here himself"Erick replied.
He reassured her.
"We'll be going to prepare the altar..."Erick added, grabbing Ruby's hand and dragging her out.
They left Emma alone in her changing room..
Just when she was about to cry, Draken showed up in front of her...
"Why's my wife so sad on her wedding day?"Draken asked, after he pulled her closer to himself.
"It's you, you're the reason..I thought you wouldn't show up and break your promise" Emma pouted like a little girl..
It only made her look cute.
"Honey, I'll never break any of my promises I make to you...I just got caught up with something, but everything's okay now" Draken spoke gently with her.
With the kind of love he showed Emma, and the look he had now, completely different from the one he had while tormenting David.
"Are you sure? You won't be leaving abruptly anymore?"Emma asked..and he nodded in agreement..
He leaned in and kissed her lightly.
"Let's get this wedding over with, this gown is too heavy for me" Emma complained.
The gown was made of pure diamonds, ofcourse it'd be heavy.
"Whatever you say...my wife's the boss" Draken simply replied...before they set themselves to go out.
The official hour had arrived...
Their wedding was so unique, both them weren't walked down the aisle by any of their parents...they did it themselves..
Since it was a surprise wedding, Draken wore a black mask over his eyes, while Emma wore a veil...Ruby and Erick following closely behind them.
Emma's dress became the topic, she was dressed in diamonds worth millions...
"My daughter looks so pretty" Sam's mom thought it was her daughter..
Draken and Emma reached the altar and the ceremony begun...she was so happy, this was the kind of wedding she always dreamed of...
One with the man she loved...
They both said their vows....and Draken put the diamond wedding ring he'd designed and made, specifically for her...
Now that's when the real fun begun...after the vows..
"Do you Draken Hunt, take Emma Dave to be your lawfully wedded wife...in sickness and in health, for better or for worse...until death do you part?" The officiant asked.
"I do" Draken wholeheartedly replied.
"And do you Emma Dave, take Draken Hunt to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, for better of for worse, until death do you part?" He asked.
"I do" Emma happily replied.
"With the power invested in me by the law and the heavens....I declare you both...husband and wife, you may now kiss your bride" the officiant concluded...
Draken gladly removed his mask and then Emma's veil and kissed his bride.
The audience was still confused, wasn't the wedding supposed to be for David Hunt and Samantha Dave!
Draken's dad who knew all about this was the first to congratulate them while they were even still at the altar.
The executives from Ouracle who never knew about Emma's existence as a daughter of the Daves were also surprised...but the fact that their president had married someone from good family background...they didn't hesitate to be happy and congratulate them...
Sam's mom still couldn't believe it, Alex didn't expect to see his love get married right in front of him.
Erick kept looking at his watch every now and then, the time was almost up... wherever David and Sam were, they'd soon regain consciousness.
Draken Hunt's surprise wedding....and Emma's true identity reveal were the trending topics on the news...
They'd been two couples.....one surprise wedding.
