Many people sat elegantly ranging from the Mayor of the city, Artist, celebrities, business tycoons among others.In short people from different walks of life In the famous hotel hall " The king's place". A wedding without engagement has caused a great uproar in the city , that's surely not how the modern world operates.The event would undoubtedly be the most extravagant of the decade.

Everywhere was dimly light and all dressed in matching navy blue and white color (code of dressing). It was  a high end ceremony where no one could enter the avenue without an invitation card.

The security was by no means tight, a cockroach couldn't get in without getting noticed. The media were not allowed, they were all hanging outside trying to catch a glimpse of what was going on.

The screeching of a Roy-Royce boat tail(most expensive and latest model car)comes to a halt at the entrance of the hotel. Undoubtedly the man of the day has arrived,only he could afford the type of the car,even the mayor's Lamborghini was parked one side to think the Mayor was already sitting in the hall speaks volume of his influence.

As Billionaire most Eligible bachelors which by the end of the day would left the bachelors' world stepped out of the car,all the reporters flock towards him flashing their camera he was of medium height, fair in completion his body build was that of a taekwondo athlete he dressed In his favorite Black Armani suit funny enough he didn't wore wrist watch. On several occasions he was asked why he didn't wear a watch, he would crossed his leg , flashed everyone his signature smile which clearly showed his dimples and swiftly  begged the questions which the actions left room for various interpretation.Today was not an exception and the curiosity of everyone just increased tenfold.

How could he when it reminds him of a certain someone he would forever be indebted to for the rest of his life.

He stood straight with his arm as the bride also came out of the car and locked both of their arms. " They both made a lovely couple" was all the reporters could say,as they were breathtaking.
The security guard surrounded them as their footsteps echoed in the grand hall , every eyes turned on them eagerly, most importantly the groom , they wanted to catch a glimpse of the man that would no longer be the latest golden bachelor in a few hours.

The only person that can cause a great commotion in New York City, shaking the Economy of the state that the Mayor and his entourage must be present to witness the occasion, Speak of him and he shall appear," The king of shrewdness"  popularly called Kings of King's. The MC announced,as he used his one free hand to demonstrate and welcome the couple.

The priest was already sighted impatiently but who was he to complain,he was lucky he was chosen as the sacred person to tie the knot.
As the couple took their respective seats, the ceremony began.

" Is there anyone either male or female,old or young who doesn't wish to join the couple in marriage should speak up or forever hold their peace" .The priest's final words reverberated in the hall.

A needle of drop could be heard as the guest looked frantically around for any sign of an intruder due to the commotion that surrounded the event.
The groom remained unfazed with his poker face if not how he dressed one who had thought he was going to a burial.

" If not for the sake of the bride, he wouldn't have held the wedding and to think only a person with a dying wish could dare to." With this thought he just shook his head and smiled devilishly. The priest was already taking too much of his time,he still needed to attend a shareholder meeting in Texas, he couldn't be late not by a fraction of seconds.

With a triumphant look on the bride she thought anyone that planned to interrupt the wedding would have been underground with her smile widened.

" I now pronounce you…"

" Wait!" a voice that was  barely a whisper resounded,a pandemonium surfaced concerning the person that had a dying wish. As the sound of hurried steps became distinct a distressed lady came to view followed anxiously by three bodyguards.

" Sir" they were already on their knees looking sacredly at the groom; he specifically ordered them not to allow any mishap to happen.
" We tried to stop her, we didn't know how she managed to enter". How could she with the heavy security around?.

Meanwhile the groom's face was already contorted in rage,he looked scary as he was seething with anger. The room temperature felt like it was dropping to absolute zero.

But the intruder in question continued walking staggering towards him, all silently praying for her as they couldn't envision her fate.

And there she was, only a step away from the wrath of the groom to descend on her when she raised her head with every ounce of her screaming pain as she maintained an eye contact with the groom,her eyes brimming with tears . She knew she was losing her consciousness, her body was weak yet she tried to stretch her hand to reach him but instead of the groom taking her hand,he stood with arms akimbo watching her with an amusing look on his face.

She tried to take a step to get closer to him " Ronnie hope I'm not too late" She said with every ounce of energy left within her and her leg finally gave away in a Matter of seconds she was rolling from the aisle with great force.

It was all too confusing for the most focused man to grab, soon realizing down on him only two people called him by that name he was RONALD to the rest of the world. In a twinkle of an eye he scooped her in his arm like an egg threatening to fall.
He realized she was losing her consciousness " ANNA!" he called " please stay with me" as he ran frantically out of the hall.

Anthony, his personal driver, was already behind the wheel. His chest was heaving up and down due to the surge of the adrenaline " Straight to Gate hospital" he barked in anger but it all came out ruffled.

Back in the hall, everyone was left momentarily speechless, what did they just witnessed The king of composer behaving like a scared kitten.As they all were able to comprehend was happened the hall was in uproar.Unbeknown to everyone the media managed to entered earlier and showcased the event live.In a short time it becomes the hottest and trending search under various hashtags.

Only one thing left everyone on edge who was the lady that could make the devil himself go berserk.The paparazzi were left frustrated as they were unable to find her identity as if the lady was an Alien.

The only person that knew was the bride, she believed her plan was flawless and couldn't go wrong, she was still in a state of denial but when she realized soon everyone's attention would be on her,she sprang towards the backdoor. The jumbled thought of what her fate would be was blinding her vision; she clearly saw Ronald's expression when he recognized ANNA.

Ronald couldn't care less,his mind was only processing one thing and it was the safety of Anna. His megrim which he has long bade farewell to now comes back greeting him with open arms. He held his head between his hands as the various questions he couldn't wait to ask her when she regained consciousness flooded his mind. He suddenly senses Anna's body goes limp and he immediately becomes panicked " How many more minutes Anthony? Move the damn car!" He retorted.

It  dawned on him at that moment,if anything happened to Anna,he would really go crazy this time,he could already feel himself losing his sanity.

The guilt of what happened years ago came back rushing and it all seems as if it happened yesterday.Anna didn't do anything wrong by trusting him but he was the one that failed to uphold his promise to her.
If only he could turn the clock back.

As soon as he reached the hospital,he kicked the car's door that went flying far, nearly injuring a passerby not waiting for Anthony to open the door.

Immediately he stepped into the emergency unit and all hell was let loose.
