LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

Is it ok to be anxious and scared?” Smiles asked, turning to Grandma Shiley.

She had been feeling a type ever since the step into the car and it scares her. She knows she should be happy, it’s her wedding with Keane, the person she loves the most but… this weird feeling seems to want to take the bitter part of her.

Grandma Shiley saw the fright look on Smiles’s face, she reached out for her hands and pressed on it.

“It’s very ok to feel this way, child, I felt it all and more when I was getting married to Grandpa Jimmy” Grandma Shiley chuckles, remembering how young and naive she was back thenAll rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Everything will be fine, believe it” she gave her a smile of encouragement.

Smiles felt grateful for her, at least, she had someone to lean on apart from Keane.

With a deep breath, she turns to the side and stares at the window hoping to keep her mind distracted from these weird feelings of hers.

Their car pulled up in front of the large white building on the church premises.

“If you weren’t my sister, I swear I wouldn’t have let Keane get away with you” Derrick teases, helping her out of the car.

Grandpa Jimmy helped Grandma Shiley out, leading her to where smiles were.

Smiles and chuckles at Derrick’s joke, “I can’t be any less happy you are my brother” She hugs him

Derrick was pleased, he let her stay as long as she wanted in his arms.

“If only I was younger!” Grandpa Jimmy exclaims.

Smiles turns to him with a big smile, she hasn’t seen him since she woke up and it feels so good seeing him now, “Grandpa!” She exclaimed excitedly, taking him for a tight hug.

“You look so beautiful that I somehow wish I was younger” Grandpa Jimmy pats her hair, smiles giggles.

Grandma Shiley on the other hand wasn’t happy with Grandpa Jimmy’s joke.

Grandpa Jimmy attempts to hug Grandma Shiley but she pushes him away.

“What have I done this time?” Grandpa Jimmy asked, perplexed about what he did to deserve such a cold shoulder. “Wasn’t she happy just a minute ago?” He thought

“So you actually wish to be younger so you will leave me huh? I’ve seen your plans now” Grandma Shiley pouts, faking an angry face.

“Oh no, I can never do that. It was only a joke, a compliment for our beautiful daughter” Grandpa Jimmy tried explaining, but she was in no way giving in any time soon.

“But the way you said it, you made it sound so true. I feel like you are actually going to leave me” Grandma Shiley faked a sob.

“No, I swear I was only joking. See, I will confess my love for you before everyone” Grandpa Jimmy said and went down on one knee, “Shiley J, I’ve never loved anyone compared to the way I have loved you. You complete me in every way possible, though we are old, I can’t stop myself from loving and wanting you, to stay by my side till I sniff my last breath. I love you, more than anything in this life. Even more than that brat of a grandson” he jokes,

Grandma Shiley was smiling, she couldn’t help. Her husband is indeed a sweet talker. She takes him by the hands and helps him up.

Smiles, Derrick and the few people around couldn’t help but clap. The duo is the true definition of love, even in the little things they do, their love never stops dominating the atmosphere.

This got Smiles wishing her love would blossom like theirs or even more. Talking about it, she hasn’t seen Keane and neither has she heard anyone talk about him.

She was about to ask Derrick when a voice pulled her from behind, she turned and was met by her dad’s smiley face.

“Dad!” She calls, throwing herself into his arms. She wasn’t angry, not anymore.

She’s decided to spend the remaining days of her life loving all those she never got the chance to love. And seeing her dad right now got her into tears.

“You look so beautiful, just like your mom in her white” Wright complimented, and kissed her forehead.

“Thanks, Dad” She hugs him again.”You’ll walk me down the aisle right?” She asked with hopeful eyes, begging him to say yes.

“There’s no need to ask. I am your father and that’s my responsibility,” Smile was happy. Tears were threatening to fall, but she stopped them from coming out.

She heard Derrick and Grandpa Jimmy murmuring something, the look on their faces showed something was wrong.

Wright walked up to them, they all discussed making sure they kept their voices at bay, but Smile’s ears were very sensitive. She heard them right, they made mention of Keane.

Her heart was pounding again, only this time, it didn’t stop even after she took a deep breath to calm down her nervousness.

She was shaking, the reason unknown. She was about to go to them when Grandma Shiley stopped her.

“What’s going on grandma?” Smiles asked, unable to hold on to the weird feelings she was having right now

“What’s the problem child?” Grandma Shiley asked, pretending to know nothing about what she was asking.

“Don’t lie to me grandma, is Keane inside?” Smiles asked again, tears streaming down her face.

She knows that Keane is supposed to arrive before her, he ought to. He is the groom.

Grandma Shiley didn’t say anything, there was nothing she could say. She couldn’t bring herself to lie to her.

Her silence only meant one thing, that her doubts were true.

Smiles stagger, almost falling but thank God for Derrick’s excellent reflex.

“He will come for me, right? He won’t let me wait for him right?” Smiles asked, begging for an answer.

“He will come for you. I’m just talking with him, he’s on his way, and he will be here in a minute. Even before you know it” Derrick tries calming her down.

“I can take lies from anyone, but not you Derrick. Tell me the truth, where is Keane?” Smiles cries, begging him to say something.

Derrick couldn’t lie anymore, so much as he wanted to, his heart didn’t let him

” I don’t know,” he answered honestly.

The tears rolling down my smiley face increased a thousandfold. Her fears were coming to pass, those weird feelings, they were trying to warn her but she didn’t listen.

She takes a deep breath, and laughs out loud.” Keane will never do this to me, I know so. He said he loved me, he promised to stay by my side, to always lie on me till we grow older with gray hairs and wrinkles, and even when we die, he will still hold on to me”

She turns to Grandma Shiley,” You once told me to believe in my love for him right, I do now Grandma. I know he will come for me, my love will bring him to me” she cries, but the confident look on her face was enough to bring everyone to tears.
