STEVEN'S POV
" you have to give me more time " I pleaded.
" I got him to approve of out marriage"
" We have set the date. Its in 3 months"
"Nessa is making everything easy for me " I finished. There was silence on the line. Did he hang up.
" Hello" i said unsure.
"But did you get the money " asked the man on the other side.
"Not yet. But its a matter of time now" i said getting nervous.
"Give me one month after the wedding. I'll get it done" I spoke up again. It had to work i cant turn back now.
I had a gambling problem and in debt way oveR my head. I was been beat up so many times. I had to screw over so many women so i can get money. But never enough. I needed a big hit so i can pay it all at once. Thats when i met her.Nessa was a naive little spoiled brat who was dying for attention. All i had to do was give it to her. Her mom was from a very rich family. Her mom was the only one alive at the time. They had a chain of restaurants around the world. When nessa's mother died. Her mother had heart attach and passed away a few days later. Everything she owned was written to nessa's mom in her will. Since nessa's mom was no longer there it was handed over to nessa. And her dad had left his job in the bank to run the business. When nessa gets married it all becomes hers. And when i marry her it will be mine. Nessa's dad has the right to keep it till she turns 21 or till he sees fit.
I need to get the business in Nessa's name soon as possible. I pulled my phone out of my back pocket and dialed nessa's number.
" hey ness, hows the wedding plans going.?"
"Great..she squealed. Everything is booked since you wanted close friends and family only" she said. I didn't want too many people because I wasn't going to invite anyone. I don't want to attract too much attention to me. Since when all this is done. Not much people will know me."Daddy has got the new east restaurant reserved for our wedding. Its gonna be amazing. All the bookings have been done" she sounded excited.
" thats great babe. What about your dress and the rings." I asked trying to sound excited.
Its a good thing I'm an actor. I should win an Oscar for this.
" I'm going dress shopping next week. If you join us after we can go and see the rings too"
"Us in who els babe" i was worried. We haven't been going out for long and I don't need to get too close to unwanted attention.
" us in Amanda who is my maid of honor will be there " she paused and added " if you like we could meet after the dress shopping. What about your tux " i was going to borrow a tux from the set. I didn't need to buy one. But she doesn't need to know that.
"Oh i got that covered first thing"
"Aww baby your a sweetheart " she chirped.
" ok lets meet after. Anyway Amanda says its not good for the groom to see my dress before the big day" ness says after i hear a few muffled voices.
I gladly agreed and hung up.Weeks past by fast. We got everything ready. Three days before the wedding i was invited to nessa's place for dinner. I was getting ready when i got a call.
" what..? " I said irritated.
" just a friendly reminder about our agreement " the dark voice said.
" I know what i need to do."
" just remember if we don't meet the payment on that day your a dead man" said the man with a gruff voice. My legs felt lifeless and flopped on the nearest chair.
"Don't ever answers the phone to me like that again " he barked.
"Im sorry " was all I could whisper. As the line went dead.
" if that old man doesn't give his rights to the business to the little brat im gonna have to play dirty" I said to myself out loud.Please keep reading. I hope you like my story so far. Im doing my best to make it sound interesting. Please excuse the mistakes i will check on it and edit them later.
