Chapter 14: Miscarriage
The next day.
Presch woke up early to call Broe and to remind hom about their wedding preparation. They had planned to visit their wedding planner, Mrs Chloe. She was hired by Broe himself, Cylene had flaunted her son-in-law to her friends, she had tell them many beautiful stories and scenes created by her herself.
She picked her phone, smiling to herself. She doesn't have to worry about the wedding preparation, this is why she admires Broe. She could remember the past that, whenever she sees her step sister, Flora, with him, she was always jealous of them. Why would she enjoys life while she suffers or watch? She wanted to have everything her step sister could get. She could remember the day she met her and that handsome wealthy guy at the store, that day, she wished she could hit her face and embrass her. Why is she always lucky of everything? Why?
She poked her face disgustingly and focused on her phone, dailing Broe's number.
"Baby, were you still sleeping?", she asked him feeling concerned.
"I just woke up not quite long, hope you are fine?".
"Yes I am. I wanted to remind you about our wedding preparation. Morever, we are going to meet our wedding planner today, do you remember?", she asked again.
Broe stood up from his bed walking into the bathroom. "Yes I do, I am preparing for it already. I'll pick you up by 9am, get ready honey".
"Okay baby, I love you". She smiled and started jumping around the room.
Presch went in to the bathroom to take a shower and started applying her skin care products. She vowed to look different for him alone.
Some minutes later...
"Welcome ma and sir". Mrs Chloe greeted the latest couple coming into her office. "Good morning Mrs Chloe, I am sure you have been expecting us, sorry for being late". Broe responded to the wedding planner.
"Yes Mr Robbin. You may have your seat". She offered them the soft sofa across to her. Then she called her PA to get some drinks for her clients.
"You will surely enjoy my services, so let's begin".
"Sure". He answered her.
Mrs Chloe brought out different designs and plans she has made specifically for them. She could recur when the bride had called her to inform her about her style and taste.
The conversation continued between the couple and the wedding planner, till they were satisfied with her plans.
...........
The Silver Group had just concluded their ongoing project, it was so fast because of the energy and meticulous hardwork their CEO had put in. His efforts was never to be wasted, that was why he was always known for his dominant and high intelligence.
Since the project was a fast and successful one, the company had planned a dinner night with their partnership company. They invited high and wealthy business men across the country, it was another way to show themselves to the elite world about their vibrancy.
Silver Scott of the Silver Group couldn't afford to attend this dinner party alone, he invited his beautiful wife, they both went together, taking away people's breath with their alluring aligning beauties. What a sight to behold!
Flora couldn't decline his request, she was now his wife and she had to comply. She wore a black dinner split gown, exposing her fair smooth skin. Some men at the party were attracted to her, watching her as if they would eat her up at anytime. Scott kept on guarding her with his stern cold face. Even when he was to greet any of his business buddies or partners, he still maintain this cold expression, showing his known personality.
Flora could only smile little to few elderly men. She was anxious he might get annoyed if she acts friendly to them, she just kept on treading carefully.
Roy and Maxson who were buddies were seen at the bar drinking, not that they were not eligible to attend the dinner night at Silver Group, they just decided not to go.
"Hey, how's that girl you told me about that last time?" Roy asked before drinking the wine given to him by the bartender.
"Ohh, that girl has just been playing me around. Though, I applied your procedure, she hasn't been turning up, but I believe things will change soon, I'll give it time". Maxson replied sipping his drink.
"That's cool you followed my advice, just keep on doing that, she will come around. By the way, why didn't you attend the dinner night?". Roy faced Maxson feeling concerned. "Or you have had another fight with your brother?", he added.
"No, not at all. Since my work in the company is just for the time being, I just decided to come enjoy myself here, or what did you think?". He stood up looking for his wallet.
"It fine. You know I also love coming here. Thank your goodness you had someone here with you, if not, you would have become bored".
Both of them laughed and clinked their glass drinks together.
...........
"Good evening Miss Flora. It been a long time we saw each other. How have you been?". Micheal Mareed came to Flora and spoke to her.
"Evening Mr Mareed. I would say you are looking good and thanks for the other day, thanks for saving the stress". She answered him politely, creating a gap between them.
Micheal got awared of the gap, understanding what she meant. As he was about speaking back to her, a cold voice lacking patience sounded behind Flora.
"She is now Mrs Silver not Miss Flora. Micheal, I think it high time you acknowledge her and respect her as my wife. I am sure you can understand me?". Scott smiled hugging her in her waist. He did that passing him a dominatory message that Flora only belongs to him.
"Ohh, my bad. I apologize for that, I think I'll excuse you pal"? He smiled back coldly, pretending not to see what he meant.
"That would be good. You can leave, we won't bother you. Morever, there are a lot of women here tonight, why not meeting with one of them? A way of helping your grandpa and family". Scott smirked, playing him. He took a drink from a server passing by and drank.
Micheal hearing this was a little furious, he knew Scott was intentionally trying to embrass him, trying to let Flora know he lacks women. "Hey buddy, you don't need to tell me those pieces of your advice, why not let me remind you that you should watch your own woman closely, for her not to be hunted by big brave lions like I". He scoffed and left.
Scott's cold aura emanated strongly after listening to what Micheal had said to him. Flora almost burst out laughing, she remembered she was with Scott and immediately cushione herself, she would surely gist her bestie when they meet up.
Micheal walked away, going to where Gad had seated. "Guy, why is your face like this?" James Gad asked silently.
"I think you know our friend's personality well and you know among us, I am always ready to give it back to him well".
"On what? You guys had had it again on what?". He replied almost laughing.
Micheal remained silent, giving him an unpleasant look that could shun anyone. "Okay okay, I'll keep my cool. You guys understand each other better you know". Gad quickly changed the topic and spoke to him about their partnership.
After the dinner night, Scott got home, he couldn't meet up with Prum to talk about the investigation. But while reading the documents, he discovered Flora's mum, Frest Martha, had a miscarriage while she had her first pregnancy for Ryain Joe, Flora's father. At that time, Cylene had been brought into their home as the second wife. She had claimed it was her who Joe had married before meeting Martha. So because of this claim, she had to threaten him for her to be his second wife.
As she started staying with them, things became hard for Frest Martha, she stayed in the hospital for days regarding her miscarriage occurrence. Scott wondered why that had happened, he thought of Cylene as the mastermind behind it, he believes people can go any miles just to get what they want.
