10 Wedding Banquet 1

He waited for a call to arrive & his phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

"My grandson, haven't you told her yet?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, bring her along tonight."

"Okay, meeting you tonight."

By the time he went back, he saw the girl curled up in her bed & sweating profusely. He,then gently held the girl in his arms while the girl grabbed onto his tee subconsciously. She shivered under the daylight. Suddenly a tear rolled down her left eye, "Ashton..."

The man froze when he heard his name called by her for the 1st time. His emotions were warm but complicated. Suddenly the girl woke up in a daze & curled in his embrace. She continued sobbing while he gently caressed her hair, "What's wrong?"

"A...bad...dream", She sobbed, "I saw that something bad happened...to you."

"Nothing bad happens to me when I'm with you",he continued in a whisper. Suddenly, Fiona wrapped her arms around his neck & hugged him gently but tightly, while burying her face in his shoulder. The man froze with the sudden fond gesture. But then he hugged back the girl in his arms. Then he gently whispered,"Grandpa Nigel wanted to meet you."

Fiona's arms were still wrapped around Ashton's back but she lifted her head. Her face had a hint of smile, "Really? But why?"

"You've to mentally prepare yourself for what I'll be telling you?"

"I'm ready."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Grandpa's health has been deteriorating for the past few months",he paused & looked at her bright eyes,"He wants us to handle the throne now."

"Which means we've to present ourselves as the ultimate couple, right?"

"Yes", his eyes darkened with negative emotions.

"I agree to that", Fiona smiled happily.

"You agree?", His voice trembled.

"Yes", she smile got brighter.

"Are you sure?"

Without answering, Fiona pushed 'her man' on the bed & kissed him tenderly on his lips. His eyes grew wide with shock but recovered quickly & flipped her body under his. Then began a long session of passionate kisses. They stopped when their breaths became ragged & they smiled at each other.

"When are we gonna meet Grandpa?", Fiona asked after tidying her clothes.

"He has organised a banquet today in our honor. We'd be heading now."

"Then let's dress up", Fiona smiled. Ash smiled back. Both of them got down from the bed & stood facing each other. Then they lifted their arms in the air & waved them gently. The next moment, the room was washed in a flood of white light. Two beautiful creatures were seen in the light.

One was wearing a white sleeveless mesh gown with a veil covering the lower half of her face. The gown complimented the beautiful curves of her body, especially her slim waist. The eyes sparkled like the brightest of diamonds while her slick black hair flowed down to her waist like a waterfall. The other was wearing a white tuxedo suit with a red rose peeking out of his chest pocket. The suit complimented his chiseled body along with the chiseled facial features. His hair matched the girl's hair & was brushed behind his head. Both appeared to have walked out of an ancient painting. The next moment a door opened amidst the pool of light & both of them walked towards it. The door closed behind them & consumed the light with it. What was left behind them were the replicas of Fiona & Fin!

--Miracle Palace, Witch Colony--

The door opened to another giant room & Fiona walked hand-in-hand with Ashton. In the center of the dimly lit room, was a huge revolving leather chair-like throne whose face was turned back. An aged man was seated on it.

"Grandpa?", Fiona called softly. This was another person whom she trusted the most after her family.
