Let get our marriage certificate today

"Knock, knock!"

Izzy opened the door and seeing Emma, she gasped.

"You're back!" She hugged her. "I was so worried!"

"Yeah, right! After ditching me at the club and spending time with some wanna-be playboy, then you remember to worry about me, am I right?"

"Babe, I'm so sorry. I got too cut up in the fun and… "

"I was drugged!" Emma spilled out and her eyes widened.

"What? By who? No, how?" A confused Izzy asked.

"It's all your fault, you know!"

"I'm so sorry." Izzy said, frantically pulling her hair. "I don't deserve to be your best friend. How could I have let something like this happen to you?" She looked really down as if she had been the one drugged. "Did you get hurt? Please tell me nothing happened to you."

"Azazel saved me."

"What?!" Izzy exclaimed, shocked. "Well, I can say you're a really lucky girl." She said but none of her words made Emma feel lucky.

"Whatever!" Emma walked past her and entered the house. Maybe this made Izzy feel she was still mad at her so she apologized once more.

"Emma, I am truly sorry."

Emma stopped and turned to her.

"I can only forgive you but only on one condition."

"What is it? I'll do anything." Izzy said and she smiled.

"I want you to get a steady boyfriend."

"What?" She stared at Emma, surprised. "Emma, it can't work. I don't think I can do it."

"Ok then," she turned away. "I just won't forgive you."

She gave it a long thought and sighed, "Fine but only if I see the right one. I can't have a steady boyfriend with just anyone, you know!"

"Fair enough." they both shrugged it off.

"So, .am…am I forgiven?"

"Just a little bit. I'll think about the rest on my own." She said, wanting to scare her a bit. "But," she took a step towards her. "...if you do what I asked then I would gladly forgive you from my heart."

"Thanks babe!" They both hugged and Emma went in to her room.

Emma kept feeling she should let Izzy know of her plans with Azazel and finally, she let the cat out of the bag.

"Hey Izzy, I have something to tell you."

"I'm all ears."

"I...I'm leaving today."

"Why?" Izzy asked feeling worried about it. "Is this because of what happened? I thought you said you'd forgive me if I… "

"Breathe Izzy, it's not that." She took in a deep breath and said, "I'm getting married!"

"What?"

Emma explained in details what had happened between her and Azazel but she left out the details that has to do with him being a devil and that he would drink her blood every now and then.

"Wow, really?" Izzy looked surprised and at the same time pleased. "But didn't you two just meet? I never knew there was a chemistry between you both."

"No, no chemistry yet. I think!"

Izzy stared at Emma, in thought and asked.

"Do you like him?"

"Yeah, I do." Emma nodded. "It may be because I'm a sucker for handsome guys but I really want this to work out."

"But don't you think it's risky?" Izzy asked "I mean, how will you make him to fall for you?"

"Just leave that to me."

"Alright! Let's go pack your bag. I'll help out." Though Izzy said this, it was evident she was sad.

"I'll be alright." Emma assured.

"It's not that. We've lived together for so long now so seeing you leave just tears my heart a bit. But truly, I'm happy for you. It may not be a marriage out of love but at least I know he'll take care of you for him to approach you first." She sniffed. "Good luck girl, I'm rooting for you."

"Oh, Izzy." They hugged. "Don't worry, you'll find a nice guy soon and make sure to let him go after having a one night stand. But I suppose nice guys don't do one night stands either." She laughed and Izzy laughed as well.

"Don't worry, I know exactly what you mean."

"That's good."

"Have you had breakfast?"

"A bit. I couldn't eat cause I was too nervous." Emma said over a chuckle.

"Well, you better get used to it. You'll be Mrs Alaister soon, haha."

"Stop it, you're making me blush."

"Haha!"

It was great Izzy was a very supportive friend. She knew just how to get her going. And this was one reason why she was scared to tell her about the rest details. She would only worry and she didn't want that.

At Alaister corporation group***** the meeting room of executives, board members and the CEO, Azazel.

It was a boring thing just sitting and listening to all those old guys talk on and on.

Azazel felt it wasn't worth finishing his breakfast.

'Why was this considered urgent again?" He suddenly asked and all the members turned to him anxiously. There was no one who didn't fear him and knew what he was capable of.

He tapped the table with his index finger twice and stopped.

"Just continue." He said but the one in charge of the presentation was shaking like a lamb ready for sacrifice.

"Let's end here!" He announced and got up from his chair. "I'll leave first."

"Sir, when will you pay hell a visit?" Sly inquired. "The consult members are expecting you."

"When I feel like!" said Azazel.

"Really, don't you think it's important you go?" Sly asked further and Azazel stopped.

"Are you questioning me now?" He glared and Sly flinched. "The reason they all want to see me would be either to know if I have found the cure to my curse or my weakness. Either one, it's such a hassle."

They walked to his office and opened the door.

"Let them know that I'm not ready to sit still and watch them display a mad act." said Azazel

"Alright!" Sy said and bowed. "Other than that, you have a dinner party scheduled tomorrow by 8pm. You were invited a week ago and you said you'll attend. The host would be Riley corporation." Sly reminded.

"I know. Anything else?"

"You must go with a date." Sly added and Azazel stopped.

"Hmm!" He run his chin. "What's the theme color?"

"Men on black and ladies on red."

"Red, you say? Hm," he thought of how Emma would look in a red dress. "It could work."

As soon as he sat in his chair, he took out his phone from his suit jacket and called Emma

"Hello?" Emma responded.

"Change of plans. We're getting the marriage certificate today and you're going for a fitting after that!"

"Wait, what? Why all of a sudden?"

"I'll need you as my partner to an event tomorrow so you need to get a dress."

"Oh!" She exclaimed lightly but then realized what he just said. "Where are we going?" she asked.
