"How are you sure that the young woman is the one who descends from your original bride, who mind you managed to escape you before you were able to successfully marry her? How can you be absolutely sure that this young woman isn't a fraud, looking to make money from you, by tricking you into thinking that she's someone that she's not," Oliver asked.

Walter growled while grabbing hold of Oliver, slamming him against the wall, giving a warning growl. "Don't you dare go and speak ill of my Nicolette like that again. There is no way in hell that Nicolette would go and do something like that. You are trying to get under my skin and make me believe that the lies you are telling me about Nicolette. What the hell kind of game that you are playing at; unless you are trying to get me to go through with the wedding of your cousin. Newsflash, I won't go through with the original plan and marry your cousin. I'm going to marry Nicolette and you will accept it. Both Lucy and Viktoria will have to accept that I will no longer keep them by my side as my brides. I'm gaining the original bride that I have always wanted by my side. If you don't like the new plan, then you and the rest of the Alexander family are free to leave. I don't care either way. A small intimate dinner with my blushing bride sounds like paradise right now."

"I'm sorry master. I didn't mean to be a fool. Please forgive me for not thinking about the words that slipped past my lips. My family and I have been looking forward to enjoying the rest of the festivities that are leading up to tomorrow night. If we get kicked out before the wedding takes place tomorrow, we will be very disappointed. We have been waiting for this day to come. It was something that we have all been talking about for a long time coming. Please don't kick us out of the wedding," Oliver begged hoping that he managed to change Walter's mind about kicking his family out of the wedding.

Walter thought about it for a moment, while removing his hand from Oliver's neck. "I'll let you and your family remain part of the wedding. But if you so much as say anything stupid during the dinner tonight, before I manage to make the big announcement tonight, I will make you and your entire family suffer. I won't allow anything to ruin my wedding tomorrow."

"Then you shouldn't be worrying about me. The one you should be worried about is your oldest bride, Viktoria. She's not pleased about you suddenly showing affection to my cousin Evelyn's friend. I warn you, Viktoria is planning on doing something to put an end to this new wedding plan, before you go through with it. Viktoria is planning to find a way to make it, that way you marry Evelyn instead of the other woman," Oliver warned Walter.

"Then I will go and speak with Viktoria now. Because I won't allow anyone to destroy this for me," Walter growled out before storming away from Oliver.

I'm sorry Viktoria, but I had to throw you under the bus, in order to keep my family from getting kicked out of this wedding. I'm willing to risk you getting mad at me, if it means that we don't miss this event. It's something that we have all been looking forward for a long time, Oliver thought to himself as he walked away.


Oliver was so lost in his thoughts, that he wasn't paying attention to where he was walking; accidentally bumping into Evie, as she was making her way to her room. "Oh, cousin Evelyn. I'm so sorry for bumping into you. I honestly wasn't paying attention to where I was walking."

"It's fine. Is everything alright? You seem like you're a bit distracted by something," Evie asked.

"Oh, I'm fine. I'm just thinking about tonight's dinner. I have been doing all that I could to distract myself from thinking about who the bride and groom, who are getting married tomorrow," Oliver said.

"I feel you on that. I have been thinking about that myself. But I wouldn't go and drive myself crazy wondering who they are. We will be learning of their identities soon enough. For now, why don't you take this moment to focus on yourself, and get yourself ready for the dinner tonight. I will see you down in the dining hall tonight," Evie said before making her way to her room, leaving Oliver to stand there all alone.

Hopefully Nico is getting ready for the dinner tonight. I have so much to talk to her about. Hopefully I can get a moment alone to talk with her without any of my family interrupting Nico's and my conversation, Evie thought to herself as she walked back to her room.


Walter stopped outside of Viktoria's room, banging on Viktoria's door, not having to wait long for Viktoria to respond. A moment later the door opened revealing a surprised Viktoria, standing in the doorway.

"Master, I didn't expect to find you standing outside of my bedroom door. To what do I owe this little visit? Are you not being satisfied by the current company that you have in your room at this very moment? Is the woman you have in your bed, not satisfying you in the way that you deserve to be satisfied? I can help you in the ways that you truly need to be satisfied. I'm sorry that you had to entertain that pathetic woman, who has no experience in taking care of you the way that you need to be taken care of," Viktoria said in a flirty tone, hoping that she was convincing Walter to enter her room; that way she could seduce him.

Walter grabbed hold of Viktoria's neck, pulling her out of the room, slamming her against the wall next to her door, growling in her face.

"I've heard some things about you, that I don't like. Is what I'm hearing about you true? Don't try and lie to me either. Because I will know that you are lying to me," Walter growled at Viktoria.

"You are allowing a strange woman that you barely know, to change you. I fear that the young woman is making you weak. You used to be the most feared man around. But this woman shows up, and you are losing yourself. You're allowing yourself to become weak," Viktoria snarled back at Walter.

Walter growled back, causing Viktoria to stop and look at him in fear. Viktoria knew that she went too far when Walter growled and glared at her.

"If you so much as mess tonight up for me, and chase my Nicolette away or bring any harm; or make any attempts to kill my dearest bride, I won't hesitate to kill you myself. Do I make myself clear? I have waited a long time for this wedding to take place. I have waited centuries to find this young woman. I plan on going through with this wedding. And you will accept that I no longer wish to be with you. I'm more than sure that there is another man out there, who will gladly continue to give you the life that you live now. Only difference is, it won't be my money that will be supporting you. That and you won't have me there pleasuring you when you want it. But You won't have trouble finding a man to help you with that. It's your specialty. Anyway, now that that is all cleared up, get ready for the dinner tonight. Don't want anything to ruin this special dinner tonight," Walter said before walking away.
