STACEY

A few hours before the wedding...

I watched the moving city, a smile on my face as I had just spoken to Ed and she seemed happy, her mood had brightened mine up.

"Are you ready for this? " Mia's voice came from behind me.

"You have asked me that for the millionth time today and my answer remains the same, I am... I am Not, " I whispered, hugging myself.

"She changed the plan, she wants me to tag him a monster. Isn't that too harsh? I mean, I get that she has no feeling for him but... He will be ruined, "

Mia sighed, " but it seems she has no other way, besides, it's none of your business if she decides to ruin him. "

"She does, we already agreed to me pretending as his lover and ruining the wedding, but this... This is too much, "

" you have to do it Sta, think of the money, Think of Ed and think of your future, " she advised.

"But-"

"I asked you about this before, remember? And you told me you were sure because you are in too deep already, are you going to bail now? When the wedding is only a few hours to go? What would you have Madule to then? Live the rest of her life miserably with that man? Please Sta, think about it.

"Even if you bail, she won't leave you alone, that's how it works, she will make your life more miserable than hers, as hers gets bad, your's gets worse. What do you think will happen to you then? Will you even have the freedom a whore has? No. She will make you hate your own existence. She will make your life so horrible that you might commit suicide.

"Think it over Stacey, please."

I couldn't say any more words after that, she was right, bailing would be worse, besides, Madule, that lady had agreed to add 2 million dollars to the money.

A call from Madule came in and she told me to get ready, the wedding was about to start.

With my heart hammering in my chest, I changed into my scarlet dream, then I took an Uber, it took me to the venue.

The place was beautiful, however the anxiety was to much for me to care for the beauty.

"Is there any one here against this matrimony?, let them speak or forever remain silent! " I heard it, I couldn't go in.

I should go back, I should go back.

The priest was about to announce them as husband and wife when I opened the door, as loud as I could.

I took in a deep breath, bitting my lip, I proceeded into the hall. "Lord give me strength, " I prayed.

Gently, I walked into the hall, my appearance had been changed, Madule said she wanted me to fit a description.

A red haired, green eyes, the same shape as mine, when I looked at myself in the mirror that morning, I couldn't recognize myself anymore.

When I reached the end of the aisle,I lifted my eyes, and that was where it had all gone wrong, the moment I lifted my head and saw the groom, I knew my life wouldn't remain the same anymore.

His eyes, beautiful chocolate eyes, calm expression met mine, No. They were on me all through the time, though I couldn't look at them, I feared what i would see in them, he was charming, I had been privileged to meet a lot of charming men at the restaurant I worked, still, he the most handsome man I had been privileged to meet.

Yet what I was about to do would hurt him and it did, the moment I opened my mouth and spewed those venomous words, I could see the pain in his eyes.

"What have I done? " I kept muttering, sobbing. Two hours had passes yet, I couldn't get over it, I had just ruined a man's life, that too, an innocent one.
