The wedding
Coconut realized Remi was taking a long time in the room; he got up, leaving Baldie and Mango, that are still chatting and drinking.
He overheard the conversation between Rachel and Remi; it was hardly snooping when Rachel's voice was heard loudly leading for Remi. The tears that both of the sisters shed and the regret and sorrow painted on Remi's face.
Seeing her pocketing her cellphone into her pocket, Coconut approached and hugged her from the back, placing his chin on top of her head.
"I'm sorry.." Remi broke the silence.
He spun her to look at him and wiped her tears. These are their protectors, who once received lashes after Father Ferguson's death to protect him.
"Don't be; come have a seat, sissy" He patted the bed.
"We knew you hated the rich more than it is to help the kids, we saw it, but we do not mind it. I understand Rachel's concern, and I won't deny I am sometimes worried for you too. But sissy, we wanted to do this; you don't force or drag us in this matter. Sissy Rach got that all wrong. Let's get this matter to settle and then we will move away and build our life somewhere where no one knows us."
Coconut's words touched Remi. She hugged him deeply, and for a few moments, she felt Mango and Baldie come to join their family hug as well.

The next day, the entire city of Arlington was busy; it was Saturday morning and the day of Logan Kent and Natalie Nguyen's wedding. Even before the start of the ceremony, journalists and reporters were seen camping outside the Nguyen and kent residences. Some of my colleagues were placed in Hotel Mayflower, a 7 Stars hotel.
The wedding itself does not allow any news outlet or media people. However, they are not passing up the opportunity to glimpse and catch the bride and groom's pictures for the public to see.
Since Arlington does not have royalties in the country, it can be considered The Knights, The Kent, and the Hale as the replacement royalties.
Climbing the wealth ladder fast, Nguyen; calculated that Nguyen would be able to surpass Kent in 30 years. For commoners, 30 years seems like generations away, but for the rich, it's the equivalent of 3hours or three days.
Logan and Natalie had signed their marriage certificate in front of the minister.
Happy tears are seen among the ladies in the family. They can unite the holy union between the two.
Despite Logan's massive pounding headache, he tried his best to put up the best face he could, he knew so many were watching him, and Roman was right. He needed to get his shit together.
Roman and Pamela are seated on the first row of the union, and she keeps whispering to Roman how she will manifest this occasion for him.
He just smiled and shook his head, letting his mom conjure whatever thoughts she wanted, for he knew no one would be able to steal his heart.
He is no saint; he is a man with a need; he does not sugarcoat any woman he beds particularly for his needs. There is no foreplay. No sweet words will be whispered. He will shower them with money, but no one is allowed to bear his child. He does not change a woman like clothes, however, recently, she wanted more, and he can't give them to her. So she left, signing NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS, and went to Dunker as a rich woman.
They agreed, and she told him she loved him, but her feelings were not reciprocated. Therefore, she chose to be rich to compensate for herself. Roman does not judge her, she is a beautiful woman, but there is no future with her. His heart does not favor her.
The reason he did not tell his mother of his bed companion is that she would plot to make her pregnant, just for the sake of having him settle down.
The signing ceremony ended gracefully, and the groom and bride were officially married. They chose to do the signing in Kent Residence for its privacy, and it's part of the Kent tradition as well.
Happiness can be seen in both of their parents, expecting their grandchild soon, and what else can they ask for?
They are now officially able to leech off the Nguyen. Roman foresaw this would happen; when Arthur had brought him the expenses and accounts from any of the Kent failed businesses, they were in outstanding debt. He also sees that the two families will unite in the future to surpass the Knights.
They thought wrong; the Knight has every family member capable and does not fight for power. Keeping the stability of that is not a tiny and straightforward matter. His grandfather was the cycle breaker for that, and in return, he will uphold it.
