Chapter 59 - Elope
Keira felt a little envy toward Sophia and Adamson. Adamson didn't just prepare a little but it's a hella~grand although it's an intimate wedding. There's only them as his friends and there's also James Mondragon. He also bought her a sapphire ring as an engagement. Sophia thought that he was joking but Adamson promised to have her always although Keira knew that Sophia became his bed slave. It's just an over-reaction word, but the couple was so into each other.
Then, they partied at Adamson's villa. The one that he recently purchased that he and his close friends know. They were dancing, drinking and eating fruits. Keira wanted such a wedding, but Alessandro said that she wanted a grand wedding and it'll take a few months for the preparation. Although he scammed her for marriage, she's happy that she's married to Alessandro. The man whom she knows as her first love and first on everything.
"I want a wedding too." She smacked her husband. Alessandro winced and rubbed his arm.
"Love, our wedding is next year." He told her.
"Let's get married like this." She pouted at him.
He sighed and shook his head.
"Next week. Let's settle that."
"It's nice to elope, isn't it?" Travis asked while he had his wife in his arms.
"It is," Alessandro answered. "But I was hesitant since she wanted a grand wedding back then." He told him. Keira's brows creased. She didn't remember any wedding planning.
"Look at her, she's happy," Arianna told them as they all looked at Sophia who was smiling beautifully at her husband. "Well, Adamson was quite harsh on her back then for forcing her to love him. But look, love is very much unexpected."
"Wow, you should write that down!" Keira told her. Arianna grinned and nodded.
"Love is stupid," Andy added as she sipped on her wine. Zachary hugged her from behind, being a big cuddle.
"It's stupid yet we still fall from it," Zachary added and kissed her cheeks. They hold each other's hands while leaning at each other.
Keira didn't know about their past but it seemed to be something deep. She looked at the golden rings on their left fingers and the beautiful engagement ring. Zachary mumbled something to Andromeda and somehow, it's easy to read the lips with those three words.
Everyone was happy. She smiled seeing her mother dancing with Alessandro's dad like little kids.
"I'm going to sing a song for these lovebirds," Arianna said. "Keira, can you accompany me?" She grinned.
Keira wouldn't say no to the number idol that she had. The two hold each other's hand as they went to the little stage and practiced the song that they are going to sing for the couple. For a very long time, she never had such a friend. Sure that Holly is a musician but they never interact like this. They were just there for each other's pain and little happiness. Maybe, Holly wasn't the best friend that she had after all.
The girls sang for the couple as everyone danced well, except for the husbands who couldn't dance since their wives are singing. There are garlands and flowers in the main hall of the villa that the staff prepared just for this simple event. They only order food from Asian Season, which was one of the food chains that the Mondragon Empire owns. It will be cooked live in front of everyone with two chefs from the Asian Season.
"I wouldn't wonder again if her parents aren't here," Karmina told Alex since he already explained to her the situation. "But the couple looked lovely."
Alex pulled a chair for her. Her heart wouldn't take the tiredness from dancing.
"They love each other and both of their families are an ass." He said.
"Well, I agree to that. I already met Adam's mother."
"And not to mention that they arranged a wife for Adam." Alex chuckled as he shook his head. "Well, I heard from Andromeda that she had sex videos of the girl having a boy toy in Hyatt Regency which Adamson managed."
"Oh, that's bad. A big bad reputation for the girl's family."
"I know." Alex nodded and watched everyone sit down while the chefs are preparing for the foods that they are going to cook live.
"And what's with the girl that your wife set up for Ales?" She asked as the maids set up water and juices on their table.
"Uh~the spoiled brat? Nah, I don't want their family to taint mine. There is just lots of dark stuff with them."
"Like orgy?" Karmina teased.
"Oh, please don't remind me of it." Alex shook his head. "Let's just watch these oozing hot chefs from the Asian Season."
"And I wonder why the boys ordered those sexy chefs. Looked at their wives, drooling over them." Karmina shook her head.
Andromeda cheered up on the boys as the girls followed them. They are wearing a sleeveless shirt and a white apron as they cook and dance at the same time.
"Strip!" Keira shouted. Then, the girls followed. Zachary covered his wife's mouth and the other boys did the same and scolded their wives for cheering up on the crazy hot chefs.
"So, I am the only one that doesn't have a partner?" James said as he sat on Karmina and Alex's table. He reached the juice and sipped on it.
"Well, my dear. You'll find someone soon." Karmina said to him.
"I wish, Mommy Mina." He chuckled and watched the girls cheered upon the chefs.
"Just strip!" Andromeda shouted. Zachary pulled his wife and covered her mouth.
James laughed at his wild sister as Zachary was trying hard to control his wife not to make a crazy scene. But it seemed like even the other girls were cheering for it.
"Keira stop." Alessandro hissed at his wife and took her to her seat. "Behave."
"How can I behave when there are these sexy chefs?"
"Do you want me to strip in front of you?" Alessandro grinned.
"No. I want them," She pointed at the chefs.
James laughed louder.
The crazy night ended well and Adamson spoke to his secretary as he took a few days off.
"Babe, you signed the papers, you aren't going to work. Alright?" Keira heard Adamson speak to her. Did she also scam his wife for that?
"But~"
"Babe, I don't want to see you working in the reception area again and smiling at those men," Adamson told his wife as he caressed her cheeks. "How about I'll give you something else to do so you won't get bored? Like shopping."
"Oh, please. Shopping is the last thing I want." Sophia told her husband.
"Let's go," Alessandro murmured to Keira as he held both of her arms. "The couple needs to have their honeymoon." He spoke softly as he took her back to their car.
"Can we have a fun wedding like that?" She asked him.
"Yes, of course."
Their car drove off from the villa before the rain fell. It wasn't a cozy afternoon after all. The clouds were dark and the rain hasn't poured yet. She cuddled with her husband and mumbled about her honeymoon. It's good to have a honeymoon on rainy days and stay in the bedroom.
"Love, why didn't Adam want his wife to work?"
"Well," he caressed her hair. "That's because she's working in the Hyatt Regency as a receptionist, the one that Adam owns and managed. He doesn't want to see her suffer for unfair treatment and Adam's supposed to be fiancée already make a scene and once hurt her."
"Oh, too bad." She shrugged.
"And he wants to pamper her and I think she'll become pregnant soon. That's what Adam is worried about."
"So, he's going to keep his wife away from his family."
"Maybe, for a while." He shrugged and kissed her temple. "You are tired, baby. Why won't you nap a bit? We still have work to do by tomorrow."
"And lovemaking?" She asked and pouted at him.
"Maybe later?" He grinned and he checked the car ahead of them.
Suddenly, the car in front of them stopped. The rain poured, making loud sand at the roof of the car and on the ground.
"What's going on?" He asked the driver as the bodyguard on the passenger seat contacted the person on the other car through radio.
"This is Alpha. State the situation." The Head Guard said over the radio.
"A person is lying in front. Over." One of the bodyguards responded.
"Person?" Alessandro asked.
Alessandro checked Andromeda's car as they didn't come out. He held his wife as one of the guards came out to check on the person.
"What's going on?" She asked. Alessandro checked the surroundings. Their window shields aren't fog-resistant and it's cold in their location. It's hard to see anyone outside.
Alessandro picked up Andromeda's call.
"What's this?"
"I think just a random girl who collapsed in the middle of the road. I didn't see anything wrong around." Andromeda told.
"Then, I shall check on it," Alessandro said.
"Let them check on it," Andy told him. "Stay with your wife."
Keira was curious on why they were very much careful with such a thing.
"What is it?" She asked him as he hung up.
"Sir, she's breathing. She had a tag on her wrist."
"Tag?" Alessandro frowned. "What tag?"
"It seemed like she escaped from a mental hospital." They confirmed.
Alessandro became more aware and he held her.
"Call the police right now." He ordered them.
