ISABEL

“Oh my goodness! I don’t know what to say. I’m speechless! I… oh my goodness, this is… I can’t believe it.” Leah said in shock as she kept staring at my engagement ring.

I also couldn’t believe it although the ring was on my finger and had been staring at it from night to this morning.

I said yes to him. It would be the second time I’m accepting to be his and I look forward to us getting married.

Logan had asked we get married this weekend because he didn’t want to delay and he felt it was long overdue.

“I cannot believe this. Logan smith? This is unbelievable. It all makes sense now. Oh my goodness! You are getting married to him and not just that, he’s the father to the twins? It all makes sense now!”

“I’m so happy for you Isabel! You don’t know how happy I am for you. This is truly amazing and I’d be honored to be at your wedding!” Leah spoke.

“It’s so nice that he came back. I don’t even know what to say. I’m speechless. It all makes sense now why you were not excited to see him and why you wanted to call it off. Oh my goodness! I was such a fool that I didn’t realize.” She faces palmed me.

“Now it makes sense why you ran off and why you wouldn’t tell me what was going on. I should have put the maths together but didn’t think of it that way. Oh my goodness! Regardless! I’m so happy for you so when’s the wedding?” She asked,

“This weekend,” I replied.

She clapped in cheers. “It’s so quick and I’m so excited. I don’t even know what to say. It’s in five days. Five days. Oh my goodness! I don’t even know… I’m so nervous and I don’t want to panic.” She ranted.

She took in a deep breath and exhaled. “You don’t have to worry about it as I will be there!”

I smiled gratefully. “Thanks so much, Leah. That’s so much for all you’ve been doing. Thanks for taking me in and helping

me.”

“Oh, honey. You don’t have to do that at all. It’s fine.” She smiled.

“Since I’ve told you all of that as I’ve been wanting to tell you about it for a long time, I shall leave now as I have some things to do and start getting prepared for the wedding,” I said to her.

“Is there in any way I can come to aid? I’d like to show my support so if there’s anything you need Isabel, do not hesitate to call me okay?” I asked.

“Sure,” I replied.

we hugged before I left her place.

“So what’s the schedule for your wedding and the plans so I can get started or do I have to bring in my plans because I already made some,” Adeline asked.

“Are we doing that? If anything you are the one that needs to give me a full explanation of how Raymond turned out to be the guy you f ucked. I mean I’m so curious and surprised so kindly enlighten me.” I said to her with a smile on my face.

As usual, she tried to evade the topic.

“What are your wedding plans?” She asked instead smiling back at me, a game of ours I was very familiar with because we do that when we don’t want to talk about something.

“You can’t do that and escape now because I won’t leave it be until I know full details. Did you sleep with Raymond? It’s so surprising and the fact you didn’t tell me and I had to find out from Logan hurt you know. So spill.” I remarked.

“Oh come on Isabel. Don’t act like you didn’t know I slept with a guy one time who caught me and I lied about my name and who I was.” She replied.

“I know but still yet. I mean you said it was different having sex with him and you aren’t one to f uck the same guy twice. So tell me now that you know he’s the one and he’s my husband’s beta, how do you try to avoid him?” I questioned inquisitively.

Raymond isn’t one to give up and if he wanted her, he’d do whatever it takes to get her and now that he knows that she’s my best friend and indeed the girl he slept with, it’s about to be a roller coaster of emotions.

“It doesn’t change anything okay. We slept with each other but that doesn’t mean we are both cool with each other or something is going to happen between the both of us. I don’t want him and I don’t do relationships so it’s best he don’t have any movement and just stay as far away as possible from me.” She said.

“Oh come on Adeline. You can’t avoid love forever and besides he is a good peep. And has a genuine interest in you so why are you avoiding him? I know we both have our issues but you were the one who asked me to embrace it so why aren’t you embracing it?” I reminded her of her words.

She folded her arms across her chest while looking away. “It doesn’t matter and besides because you are dating his best friend doesn’t mean I have to. Bestie goals in the mud.” She chuckled and I couldn’t help but laugh as I realized what she

meant.

“I hope you know it’s not a bad idea. I mean we are besties and dating besties won’t be bad, what do you think?” I curled my lips to the side.

She turned to look at me and rolled her eyes.

“It’s not going to happen. I don’t want him. I am better off alone and my situation and yours is different. In your case, that’s your ex-mate and also the father to your kids and he already explained the reason for his actions and why he did what he had to do so it wasn’t like he woke up one day and chose to break your heart.” She paused to take a deep breath.

“In my case, we are nothing but people who slept with each other once, and although I admitted I felt something as at that time, times have changed so we are different.”

She pointed at me, “Your situation and mine are different okay?”

I

“While you have a child with that man, I and that man have nothing in common so once upon a time something happened between us and that’s it.”

“Wow! That was a long speech.” I stated.

“Of course it was. A long speech indeed but at least you understood and that’s the most important so instead of talking about the past, why don’t we talk about the future while we are in the present?” She suggested.

“Whatever. I already have a plan of my own and how I plan to go about it. We will be going to get a dress and it will be a simple wedding. Nothing much, just us and friends, and once we tie the knots, we will be going on honeymoon immediately and that’s why you my dear friend will be the one to watch over your godson and daughter,” I explained to her.

“Wow! So while you both go on honeymoon, I will be doing what? Watching kids? So I won’t be having sex for days because I have to be a nanny?” Adeline curled her lips to the side making me chuckle at how she looked.

“Oh please don’t be dramatic. They are your godson and daughter and what is sex that you can’t do without? Just get it over

with and watch them. I’m the one getting married and as my best friend you have to assist me.” I smiled cheekily at her.

“Okay. They are and I’m not denying that. It’s fine. You are the one getting married so I’m going to be considerate but I’m not considerate because of you but because of the twins. I adore them after all.” She replied.

We both laughed and continued our conversation as we made preparations for my wedding. Seconds turned to minutes, minutes to hours, and hours to day, and soon my wedding was fast approaching.

Everything was going well as planned and everything was set. I would finally get married to Logan in two days and I didn’t know how to feel.

One minute I’d be excited and the next minute, the trauma would begin. Although it was in the past and the people who had ruined my chances of getting married to Logan were gone, I still felt traumatized.

The fact I reached the wedding center only to see no one and to find out my man was getting married to another haunted

me.

I was nervous simply because of that and it made it hard for me to sleep. I kept my eyes open when I should be sleeping.

Constantly I told myself to sleep because of what might happen but at the same time, I couldn’t.

I didn’t know how and when I fell asleep but I woke up to Adeline’s voice.

“Wake

up bride! It’s the day!” Adeline clapped cheerfully before going to open my window, letting light penetrate the room.

“It’s the day of the wedding! All hail the new bride! Clear the way for the new bride! It’s my best friend’s day and everyone must be aware!”

I

– 1 yawned as I got off the bed, stretching my arms. I still felt sleepy and I knew it was because I didn’t sleep early as I should

and now I was feeling tired.

“Have you spoken to Logan?” I couldn’t help but ask.

“No. Why? Don’t worry you’ll see him later today but for now, you have to take your bath and we have to get ready.” Adeline said.

How could I not ask about him when I was worried that something might not go well today? I couldn’t hear over the fact that something had me happen and as much as I tried to be positive, I just couldn’t he at the same time.

“What’s wrong Isabel?” Adeline asked and I sighed.

“Oh come on, it’s your wedding day. You aren’t supposed to be feeling this way. Speak to me, what’s bothering you?” She asked with a hint of concern laced in her tone.

“I’m just nervous about today and the fact that something might not go well,” I answered.

The skin between her brows creased.

“What do you mean by that? It’s your wedding day and you are feeling this way? Please remove every spirit of worry from your heart and only leave position thoughts okay?”

“I know why you are feeling this way but it’s not going to happen again. You are getting married to Logan once ask and this –time around it would be different so try not to recall the past as it would only ruin your mood and focus on now, is that

alright?” She asked and I nodded my head in understanding.

I did just as told and focused on only good thoughts and soon it was time forms to join Logan.

I walked with my twins by myself towards Logan. He stood by the side of the priest waiting for me.

This time, unlike last time, he was waiting, he didn’t leave. I didn’t know how to feel but I was emotional and I had to fight the tears from coming out.

In no time I joined him and the ceremony commenced. The priest began and with time we began to say our vows.

The priest asked the both of us the question and we both answered yes.

“With the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wit

You may kiss the bride.”

It was indeed a dream come true. After all the back and forth, we eventually came back together, and as his lips let mine, a drop of tears slipped down my cheeks.

It was pure bliss.
