Thanks kira,am really happy you could make it to the gathering, fedora said looking stunning in her blue ball gown that had pearls on the waist, with her hair adorned with fancy hair clips . The Micheal family had spent a lot in getting her prepared for the engagement

Where is your fiance, kira asked looking around

He is on his way , fedora said looking at the door. She knew he was not going to show up for the engagement but one part of really wished he could come at least to save face for her

Good, I will be over there the event is starting soon, kira said left for her seat

Let welcome the newest couple in New York, Mr Liam Donald and Ms fedora Micheal, the host of the event said with a beaming smile

Fuck , where in the world is he, I said in my head as I walked towards the crowd sure enough everyone was looking at me and wondering if my fiance ran off on my engagement day

Hello everyone, am glad to have you all here today and I want to apologize on behalf of my fiance who isn't present today due to the fact that he has been busy at the office and as you know if he does not work how are we expected to eat in the future when we get married, fedora said chuckling but only she knew how bad she felt when he didn't come at least two minutes out of time was enough now she had to deal with the annoying gaze of the people present

That good a wife should be able to make sacrifices in order to protect the future of her and her children, some one in the audience commented
