He paused and walked to a chair to sit. He was angry. I followed him and took a sit beside him. He was still very mad at me.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“I did not sit to discuss with anybody Ohio, Jojo only told me after she couldn’t succeed with you and she meant it as an insult which I never took to heart. After you refused to get intimate with me during our relationship days, I had to discuss with Melinda and she was only concerned for me and meant no harm. I’m not trying to make any excuse for what I said or did. I’m so sorry for everything Ohio. Please forgive me for hurting your feelings with my words and action and not trusting you enough.

He was quiet, and later nodded before taking another sip from the cup. I stood and started walking away. He called me back and said.

“Why not get into the pool and have a cool swim. I have not seeing you swim before.

“Ooh!…i…I don’t know how to swim. I will just go in and take my shower before returning to my parents’ house.

I replied back to him.

“Becca, I know you can’t swim. Is not even a big deal. Allow me to teach you…c’mon. Let me teach how to swim. I will give you one of my swimming trunk…. You can wear a singlet on top. I don’t want you to give excuse of not having a swimsuit. When next I go shopping, I will include yours in my list. C’mon Bee…. you don’t need to go today. Kontri can drop you off tomorrow if you don’t mind.

I smile as he called me one of those his pet names, “Bee” Which means he has probably forgiven me. I nodded shyly and he smile.

We went inside together and he brought out new swimming trunk and left the room. I changed into them immediately and took a towel to tie around my waist before going out to join him.

I had a great time with him teaching me how to swim. He laughed at some of my failed practice and I also laugh. We later went in to freshen up and have something to eat.

Dora made another delicious meal that afternoon and I even asked her to teach me and she promised to do that.

The day slowly went and night came. Ohio was free spirited. I stylishly asked him if he has forgiven me.

“Do I have a choice over that? My royal majesty was sorry and I have to forgive her. I must confess that I felt hurt and disappointed by your word and each one was like a stab to my heart. All I wanted was for you to trust me Becca. I cannot hide anything from you. If I have any health challenge, I will definitely opened up to you no matter how hard it may be, even before I propose. i hate secrets and will not want you to suffer or regret because of me. I love you Becca and I try to prove that to you but you keep running ahead and destroying everything I planned. All my beautiful plans for you are memories I want to cherish with you forever, you kept trying to scatter it with your actions and words. That’s not good and I hate to be angry with you. My whole day is ruined whenever I’m angry. But my anger doesn’t last when it comes to you…all I did was to understand your fears and the reason why you did what you did. I also understand why it was difficult for you to trust me. I must say I did not enjoy last night, I did not. I forced myself throughout the process just for your mind to be at rest and that was not the way I planned our first intimate night to be. I was not happy Becca but I am fine now.

I apologized again to him and he said it was alright. We later drove out that evening as he continued teaching me how to drive.

The following day, I was back to my parent’s house.

Ohio employed another office personal assistant, it was a man this time around. Plus his other staffs working in his office who can manage things in his absence as Cherry remained in prison, serving her sentence.

Few weeks later, his people were beginning to arrive for the wedding. Teri was around again, even Lili joined as the wedding plan keeps on.

Teri followed me as I went to get my own wedding gown and other necessary things. She wanted to buy it from their country and bring back to me but I told her I will rather get it by myself. I wanted to have a fine memory of purchasing my wedding things.

Another week followed and everything was set. The wedding day arrived and I was both exhilarated and petrify. It was the long awaited day which I have looked forward to. I had my girl squad from few distance friends and some of Ohio’s cousins who traveled down.

My family, friends and well-wishers gathered all around. Melinda and Cole, Anita, who was obviously pregnant was around with her husband. Many of my friends like Rina and Ella were also around. I have met Ohio’s parents already and also Natalie few days ago when they arrived and they were all seated there smiling and encouraging me forward with their beautiful faces while my Dad walked me down the aisle to Ohio who stood with a smile and a look I understand perfectly well.

The man loves me despite my mistakes and all I ever did is to scare him off with my actions. But he was never ready to give up on me. He couldn’t wait for me to spend forever with me and this realization alone makes my eyes to be filled up with tears.

I don’t deserve a man like Ohio, he was just too nice and different from the men that have come and gone in my life.

People from different walks of life filled the hall. I blinked back the tears and matched down with my Dad holding my hand. My Dad handed me over to him and returned back to his seat. I stood facing Ohio as we began to exchange our vow.

It got to a point when I thought how undeserving I am with the kind of man God has blessed me with and tears rolled down my face. My chief bride’s maid gently wiped it off so that she won’t spoil my makeup.

After the vow and rings where exchange and he was asked to kiss his bride which he did, the priest blessed our union.

We danced out to the reception. The hall was big and well decorated, the colour of the day was beautiful all thanks to Teri. The colour was emerald green mixed with gold. It brightens and beautify the whole place.

It still baffles me that all the things happening to me is so real. I was actually married, not just to any kind of man but to man who loves me deeply and I can trust with my life. A principled man who is not moved by worldly pleasure. He was principled and ethical.

I danced and also hugged a lot of friend and well-wishers who came around. My eyes almost pooped out when I saw a well-dressed lady in a matching green shade which was undeniably beautiful. She was dancing at one corner not too far from where I was with Ohio

The lady obviously wanted me to notice her.
