chapter 25

By the time Melanie wore her third wedding dress which indicated that the wedding was almost coming to an end, she was already tired.

Melanie couldn't wait for the wedding to come to an end, she was really tired as she was. She had to smile at the hundreds of guests that had come to congratulate them and this alone made her cheek hurt.

Melanie glanced at the man that was sitting beside her, wasn't this man tired of smiling?

She leaned towards him and whispered to his ear. ''I'm tired,''

Flynn looked at Melanie and smiled, it was very evident on her face that she was already forcing herself to smile.

''Shall we leave?'' He asked.

''Is it okay if we leave? The party is still going on,'' Melanie asked.

''The party will go on with or without us,'' Flynn said and beckoned to Kyle who was flirting with a lady at a distance.

''What?'' Kyle furrowed his brow when he reached Flynn's place.

Why must his brother ruin that moment for him?

He was on the verge of getting that lady's number.

''Where is my phone?'' Flynn asked, ignoring the look on his younger brother's face.

''Why are you asking me that? Did you keep it with me?'' Kyle pouted.

''Brother in law..." Melanie giggled.

''Where is Devon? My phone should be with him,'' Flynn said.

''Why are you even looking for your phone? Are you planning on working on your wedding?'' Kyle asked and stared at his older brother in disbelieve.

''Shut up. We're leaving, get me Devon,'' Flynn snapped.

''Wow, my brother can't wait to consummate this marriage,'' Kyle smirked.

''Hey!'' Flynn whisper-shouted.

''I'll get Devon now,'' Kyle said and ran off, leaving his brother who was about to get mad.

Kyle hissed loudly when he saw Elle and Tyler sitting together and walked towards them.

''Is today your wedding too? Will you stand up and find something meaningful to do?'' Kyle pouted.

Tyler creased his brow in confusion and looked at Elle.

''Don't mind him, my twin brother is a very bitter person,'' Elle shook her head.

''What are you doing here?'' Elle faces Kyle.

''Brother is preparing to leave and he wants me to find Devon,'' Kyle said.

''And I am Devon?'' Elle raised her brow.

''Let's find him together, we will be escorting brother and sister-in-law,'' Kyle said.

''To?'' Tyler glanced at Elle.

''They are having their honeymoon outside the country. It's a surprise, sister in law is not aware.

''Okay,'' Tyler nodded his head.

''Let's go together,'' Kyle grinned at Elle.

==

''Are you guys ready? We're leaving already,'' Flynn said to Devon as soon as the latter arrived.

''Yes, boss,'' Devon nodded his head.

''Congratulations on your wedding, boss, Mrs. Harlan,'' Devon bowed a little.

Melanie threw a cold stare at Devon, ''Thank you,'' She finally said and Flynn chuckled slightly.

Why was his wife mad at Devon?

Flynn stood up and stretched his right hand forward for Melanie to take which the lady hesitated for a while before taking his hand.

Flynn smiled as he led his wife quietly out of the hall. It seems the crowd understood that the bride and groom were leaving so didn't even try to stop them.

Melinda excused herself from her friends and followed Flynn and Melanie silently.

Was this man taking her daughter away without telling her?

Ugh, what a man!

They got to a silent place where Devon and some guards were already waiting for them.

Seven cars of the same model were lined up except for one that was white and had a different model which belongs to the groom and bride as the ornament around the car its self could tell.

''We're leaving,'' Flynn said authoritatively to the men that were all in black.

''Brother,'' Elle said and Flynn looked back.

''Elle,'' Flynn smiled and spread his arms widely for his sister.

''Congratulations,'' Elle grinned, broke the hug, and went to hug Melanie too.

''Mrs. Harlan,'' Elle giggled.

''Elle, I said brother can't wait to consummate his marriage with Melanie,'' Kyle laughed loudly.

''Just make sure you make cute babies, okay?'' Elle said and Melanie choked on nothing.

Cute babies?

Oh, please.

''Don't worry, we will do that,'' Flynn grinned and Melanie looked at him.

We?

Ugh!

''So, you guys are leaving without telling me?'' Melinda said from afar and Kyle laughed and walked towards her.

''My brother is really in a hurry, he can't wait to have your daughter,'' Kyle joked and Melinda hit his head playfully.

''Shut up,'' Melinda smiled.

After Melinda had prayed for her daughter, she hugged her tightly with tears in her eyes and watched her get inside the car with her groom.

Elle, Kyle, and Tyler followed in another car but Melinda stayed behind and Devon too.

''Where are we going? This is not the way home,'' Melanie glanced outside the window then at Flynn.

''I'm not telling you,'' Flynn giggled and Melanie threw a deadly stare at him.

Flynn stared at Melanie and shook his head.

Wasn't this the woman that smiled so much till she get tired earlier?

Oh, guess she was still mad at him.

Melanie sat quietly and looked outside the window, she was anxious and scared.

She couldn't wait to see where they were going but on the other hand, she was scared that the tycoon was young to harm her.

It was as if Flynn could hear her thought, he leaned forward and pulled her face gently to his.

''Get rid of what you're thinking, I'm not going to hurt you and I'm never going to do that, okay?'' He said and kissed her softly on the lips.

''And, I don't care about the circumstances that surround our wedding, just know that I'm more than happy to have married you today,'' Flynn whispered to her ear and leaned back leaving Melanie with a confused look.

~

When the car that Melanie and Flynn boarded stopped behind the cars that were ahead of them, Melanie peeked and saw a huge black gate ahead of them.

Seems like they were waiting for the gate to open.

The gate opened a few seconds later and the car drove in.

When the car drove past a private plate that had the word 'HARLAN'' on the golden bird's body, Melanie widened her eyes and glanced at Flynn.

''We are going out of the country!?'' She exclaimed in an indistinct voice.

''Yes, wifey,'' Flynn smiled.

Melanie didn't know if she should be happy or not, she was feeling butterflies in her stomach.

''Where are we going?'' She asked.

''I'm not telling you, but you will love it,'' Flynn answered.

When did this man even have the time to think of this?

Wasn't he always busy?

The door of the car opened and Melanie came down after Flynn had alighted.

She looked around the big garden they were in and was shocked to see that they were more than one plane.

Wow, this is not a joke.

''Sister in law!'' Kyle rushed towards Melanie and hugged her.

''Hey!'' Flynn groaned and separated Kyle from his wife.

''Wait, are you jealous to see your brother hugging your wife? What a shame,'' Kyle muttered and rolled his eyes.

''Yeah, whatever,'' Flynn said and they all laughed.

Flynn glanced at Tyler who was standing very close to Elle and frowned his face.

''You're standing too close to my sister.''

''What?'' Kyle clapped his hands together.

''I didn't know you were in the dark,'' Kyle laughed.

''What?'' Flynn mouthed.

''He is my boyfriend,'' Elle said bluntly.

''What!? With whose permission?'' Flynn widened his eyes.

''With my permission and blessing,'' Melanie giggled and Elle gave Melanie a thumb up Implying that she did well.

''What?'' Flynn faced Melanie.

''Have fun guys. I'll buy something for you when we're coming,'' Melanie laughed.

''No, I just want your stomach to be protruded by the time you're back. I don't want any other thing, right twinnie?'' Elle faced Kyle who nodded in affirmation.

''Whatever,'' Melanie blushed.

~

Melanie smiled heartedly as Flynn led her in the direction of the private plane.

She wished this marriage didn't come with the situations that it came with.

She would have been the happiest woman today.

Well, she was.

She didn't stop smiling as Flynn ascended the stairs and helped her carefully ascend the airstairs so that his bride won't step on her long gown and trip over.

Melanie was very overwhelmed with joy and she was sure it was evident In her face.

She had never felt so special, never.

She stared at Flynn who was very busy lifting her gown and smiled.

Wasn't this man perfect?

Flynn kissed her forehead as he led her deeper inside the plane.

Somehow, his pride was not hurt that he was doing all of this for a woman.

This woman was Melanie, the woman that became his wife a few hours ago.

The woman he had vowed to be with through thick and thin in front of everyone.

Well, he was going to keep his promise because he was never going to let this sweet woman out of his life.

~~Unknown...

The man grabbed the flower vase that was on the shelf and smashed it against the wall.

''You incompetent fools!'' He yelled and walked towards the four men that were on their knees.

He slapped each of them hard across their face.

''I can't believe I trained you! That lady officially became Flynn's wife today, you motherfvcking bastãrds!'' He yelled and went to slap them each again.

These people were making his blood boil.

''We're sorry sir, she hid too well,'' A man muttered.

''She hid too well? Bastãrd, does she even know you were looking for her! How the hell could she hide so hell when she had no idea you were looking for her!?'' The man asked with fury.

The room went silent and that anger the man more.

''That arrogant mafia,'' He clenched his fist and hit it against the wall.

''Damn you incompetent bastãrds!'' He yelled and went to slap the guys across their faces again.

Slapping them was the only thing he could do to make him feel a little better.

He ignored the blood that was dripping from the mouth of the guys and went to slap them again ignoring his own palm that was very red.

The fact that the arrogant mafia was involved made his blood boil the more...
