Chapter 65
Debby's pov
Anna's apartment....!
I gaze at myself admiringly in the mirror... I swear I could hardly recognize myself.
My make-up is perfectly done, my hair beautifully styled and my white off shoulder gown is to die for.
I run my fingers through the pearls in the gown... the silk used in making this gown is of top quality... so smooth and soft... which makes me wonder how much the designer is gonna sell it. "Wow!" Anna and Laura exclaimed as they walk into the room.
"I didn't know you could be this beautiful" Anna said.
"No, gorgeous!" Laura corrects her.
I rolled my eyes... Laura runs her fingers through the pearls.
"I bet this gown cost a fortune!" She said.
"Yeah...$150, 500, 000!" Anna said.
Laura quickly lets go of it and dust her hands.
"I better let go of it before I tear and will have to pay for it!"
I stare at her with my mouth wide open.
"I should be the one being careful... I mean, I can't afford to pay if I tear it"
Anna and Laura rolls their eyes and shake their heads.
"As if your boyfriend isn't a freaking multi-billionaire!" They both said at once as if they planned it.
"Ex-boyfriend!" I correct them.
"Whatever!" They said.
I frown.. why are they saying the same thing at the same time?
Anna helps me up and leads me towards the living room... Laura gathers the gown in her hands so I wouldn't step on it.
"Ok, Debs.. you're modelling a wedding gown, you should behave like a bride... do whatever you're asked to!"
I frown... her words are a bit confusing.
"Huh?"
"I mean, go with the flow... we're getting a huge pay for this, don't spoil anything!"
"How much are we talking?" I asked.... I wanna be sure how much I'm dealing with.
"About $70, 000, 000!"
My eyes grew wide and my mouth hang open... no sound coming out.
"Don't scream, don't scream!" Laura said and helped me calm down.
Just then the door open and Lucas rushed in... he stops abruptly and stared at me like he's lost.
Well, I can't blame him... I couldn't recognize myself too!
"Debs, you are the most beautiful bride I've ever seen... except my future wife though!" He said.
We all laughed at his last comment.
"What are you doing here?" Anna asked.
"You text me to come drive you to the show, remember?"
I catches him pass a pointed look at Anna... like he's passing a secret message.
What are they tryna do?
Anna seems to receive the message... she nods and smiles.
"Yeah, yeah.. I almost forgot!"
Laura also seem to understand what they are doing, she's being chuckling all along.
I wave their weird glances as nothing... all I wanna do now is finish this job and hear my phone beep to notify me that $70, 000, 000 has been transferred into my account. "Guys, when are we leaving?" I asked.
"Right now!" Lucas said and sweeps me off my feet.
He carried me in his arms and head outside... I'm sure we're heading toward his car.

Writer's pov
Wedding hall....!
Everyone is at the wedding hall... Andre is already at the altar waiting for his bride... though the wedding isn't held in the church or chapel.
Just an event hall.
Mr and Mrs Knight sat the front line with ma Doris... Martha, Diego and Mrs Chesterfield sits in the first line of the next roll.
Mrs Knight glaring daggers at Andre in the altar.. Andre tries by all means to avoid her burning gaze.
Sean... his best man.. stands next to him, he leans closer to Andre's ear and clears his throat.
"Why do I feel like your Mom is already killing you in her mind?"
"I'm already a dead man in her mind!" Andre replies and they chuckles lightly.
Andre checks his wrist watch and closes his eyes briefly.
"Why are they not here yet?" He complains silently.
"Calm down man, they'll be here soon!" Sean encourages him.
If you're loving the book, nel5s.org is where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! Andre simply nods and adjust his suit... he look around and the congregation is filled... paparazzi everywhere.
He smirks...*what a great day!* He thought.

Meanwhile, Anna and co, have arrived... Lucas opens the door and helped Debby out.
Debby looked at the decorations outside and awed.
"Anna, tell me how much was put into this show!" She said rhetorically.
Her eyes zeroed on the inscription on the entrance.
*A&D*
She turns to Anna with a small frown.
"What's the meaning of A&D?"
"Oh, that's your initial.. A for the male model and D for you!"
Debby doesn't seem to get her but nod anyway.
"Debs, I don't know if Anna told you this but there's gonna be a little acting.. you and the male model will act like you're actually having a wedding" She nods slowly.
"So, I'll be like your father and walk you down the isle... Debs, whatever happens in there, just go with the flow!"
"Yeah, before you take any action please think about the $70, 000, 000!" Anna said.
Debby smiled and taps Anna's shoulder gently.
"Don't worry, I'll finish this show and get that money in our account!"
Lucas offered his arm and Debby took it... she smiles at Lucas and nod.
"Ok, here we go!" Lucas said and head in.
