Chapter sixty nine Kidnapped

"You've been a bad girl," Steve said barging into the room and grabbing the phone from her. "You actually manage to get my phone off me without me knowing. Now, who did you call?" He asks scrolling through the phone.

"Seriously, you had my phone for all of five minutes and the first person you think to call is your ex? Ever heard of 119? Help, I'm been held against my will. Trace this number and help me, please. That would take about two minutes, don't you think? But no, you choose to call the one person who wouldn't throw a bucket of water on you if you were on fire." He laughs menacingly.

"You won't get away with this Steve." She said tears running down her face. "Oh but I will. You see I paid an extremely handsome man fifty grand to offer you a hundred grand to spend the weekend with him on the north coast and you as stupid and money-hungry as you are, you accept, and now here you are." He said with an evil smirk.

"You're disgusting." She said turning away from him. "Thank you." He said proudly. "But seriously, you didn't believe all that nonsense he told you did you? That you were the most beautiful woman in that club and it would give him great pleasure to spend just one weekend with you? But of course, you did, because you're vain like that." He said chuckling

"Ty will find me; he's probably on his way to the police right now." She said folding her hands across her chest. "No he's not; he's on his way to the hospital to marry that girl who is carrying his child, something you couldn't do in all the five years you were with him. Stupid bitch. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting on him to come to your rescue, so I suggest you get comfortable, you're going to be here for a very long time earning me back every cent I spend on you." He laughs wickedly as he left the room.

One of Ty's aunts was busy fixing her hair and the rest of them were gathered around her. "Okay, we have something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue." Anna laughs as she rhymes out the phrase. Mrs. Melissa approaches her and put an exquisite picaresque bracelet around her wrist. "This belongs to my mother; she gave it to me when I was marrying Steven."

His aunt Shania was next; she put a sparkling diamond hair clip in her hair. "This's new," she said with a bright smile. "And you can borrow my silver Miltirow cocktail ring but please don't put it on your wedding finger, Ty would kill me." Anna laughs. "And now, here is something blue, it's a Bali power shape satin corset." Sandra said, "It will give your boobs a nice lift, not that you need it of course but it will come in handy."

Janice was close to tears as she looks at all the beautiful things around her. "Thank you all very much." She said drying her eyes trying her best not to mess up her makeup. "Now don't forget; the key to a good marriage is communication alright." Mrs. Melissa said hugging her. "I won't, thank you so much for welcoming me into your family, I won't disappoint you I promise." "We know you won't, my nephew is practically walking on air right now, and you're both going to be very happy together," Sandra adds. "Now enough chit-chat let's get you into your dress." Mrs. Melissa states.

Tyler took a deep breath, enters Janice's room, and stops dead in his tracks when he notices that she wasn't there and the room was empty, no decoration nothing, he was about to have a serious panic attack when Caleb ran in behind him. "Didn't I tell you to wait in the car?" He asks annoyed. "Where is she, Caleb?" He asks in a trembling voice.

"Oh keep your socks on she's fine, there has been a slight change of plans, follow me." He said leading Ty down the passage that reeks of antiseptic, bleach, disinfectant, and many different medical supplies that he was all too familiar with.

But needless to say, he was a lot calmer as he stood under the red, white, and light yellow arch that was in the breathtakingly beautifully decorated spare room donated by the chief of staff. The red, white, yellow, and green décor and flowers blend nicely with the twelve red velvet chair that was provided for the members of his family that were allowed to come to the hospital, more of them wanted to come of course but they had to keep the gathering small, it was a hospital after all.

The rest of his family was seated at home on the lawn watching the proceedings on the big screen, some of them shout congrats and greetings to him as his best man and the pastor took their position next to him. He was nervous and excited at the same time and tried as he could he couldn't control the deafening pounding of his heart in his ears. This was it, after waiting so long to be a husband and father the moment was finally here.

Him, being a father would, of course, have to wait for a few more months, if that was God's will for him, but now he was going to make this independent dark skin beauty his wife and he was ready, for whatever lies ahead.
