The Billionaire's heart (The Billionaire Love #3 )

Chapter 31

What happens In Vegas

Now, that is settled. I think I can relax for a while, because I am going to get married. So, I deserve this don't I? who knew getting married can be such tough job and I have to be cautious. My bride has a bad habit of slipping away from my grasp.

"But..." "No, but Iris, we are getting married right here and now. We don't need to declare it to the world about our love, we only need two people for that and those two are right here in this room," "Well said son, and that is only what we need two of you together here. It is all we need. Nothing else." The man said.

And then we reached the place we were about to be married. I even managed to find a white dress for her. She might not be the most beautiful bride around but right now for me no one can be more beautiful then her. For me she is the definition of perfection. I cannot take my eyes off her, I almost forgot I was about to be married and call this beautiful girl my wife. I am feeling lucky for the first time in my life. I am happy and there is no one around to take this happiness away.

"How you like to be married?" the man asked. "How about we don't get married" The man looked at me. "Your bride is reluctant." "That is why we should get the shortest ceremony and then call it a day, maybe after it is over, she will be more cooperative?" I suggested. "Ok as you say then the shortest ceremony then" He said. "That is what I am going with it."

"Miss Iris Morgan, do you take this man as your lawfully wedded husband to love and cherish him in sickness and health and in richer and poorer, for rest of your life?" She turned silent and then gave men a mean look. "She does" I told him. "I do?"

"There is it is now it is your turn young man, do you Samuel Richard King take this woman to be your Law fully wedded wife to...?" I cut him off "Yes, I do" I told him. "Do you have the rings?" I put the ring in her finger and she reluctantly too did that for me. "Well then, by the power vested in me I pronounce you man and wife and you may kiss the bride"

He doesn't have to tell me twice. "I will do the next best thing." I said and picked her up in my arms in bridal style. Only one thing I need to do is make it official that I can do after I return back home. Now it is my time to be a little bit delighted. I put her in bed and she turned her back on me. "Come on baby, you don't need to be this much angry. I just did what I thought would be appropriate for us." I said.

"How will your sister feel now? Her child is on the verge of death but you have to go and get married to me? I wasn't running away. I just wanted to marry you the right way in front of everyone. But you didn't just want that, you have to get married here and, now don't you?" Why is she so angry? She is my sister and I know her well. April is my niece and I care about her more than anyone can but that is not enough for Miss Morgan is it?

"Look Iris, I know you are not happy? But I don't know why you are so against of getting married as soon as we could. And yes, we could get married in front of everyone again. But isn't it a different kind of adventure for you? Us getting married in secret, finding a place for us where we had a special moment for ourselves. That was what I wanted to have. But I guess we both have difference in opinions Miss Morgan." I said.

"Please Samuel, I do not wish to fight with you." "Neither do I Miss Morgan. It's alright I know where your heart lies now. I have a habit of not forcing anyone to anything they do not wished to. But I forced you into going through this ceremony because I thought, I have that little right over you. But now I see I don't. I am sorry that I made you unhappy and I apologize for this. Perhaps our hearts are not that well connected as I thought it will be." I said.

I walked out of my room leaving her alone. I know I have yet again messed up. I became dependent on someone yet again and that was my downfall. Yet again I thought I have found love but it was not so, turns out that I was not that good at reading Miss Morgan as I thought I am. Our hearts are not as sync as I thought.

"Something strong please" I said. "Coming right up sir." The bartender replied. I was hoping for this night to end up a little differently. But when it had happened that something, I had planned was actually succeeded? I don't know why I have such a rotten luck. I heard my phone rang and it was my sister. She would probably be wondering why I haven't visited her today.

It had become my routine to visit her and April almost every day since I have been discharged from the hospital. She might just be calling to check on me. "Hello" "Hello to you too Rosa dear" She turned silent. "Something's wrong isn't it hermano?" She asked. "I am fine" I said. "You are not, something had happened I can tell. Now what is it?" She asked.

Sometimes I don't understand how she always does that, knows that I am lying to her, knows my heart and my soul. In every sense my sister is my true soul mate. The other half I had lost years ago. Looks likes that the bonding between us haven't decreased a bit even when we have been forcefully kept apart for many long years.

"What is Sam, you know you can tell me anything you want to. Did you not found what you were looking for in Vegas?" She asked softly. "I did actually find it." "So why you still are upset?" She asked. "Because the thing didn't wished to be found by me. And now I am afraid I have let my desire run wild and have lost whatever faith that thing had on me" I told her .

"Tell me brother do you regret doing whatever you did? Going against her wishes?" She asked. She can be blunt when she wished to and I have a feeling that she knows who I am talking about and she knows that I have messed up. This time it is very big.

"Yes, I do regret it." "Then that's that brother, You need to tell her this too. That you regret whatever you did. Make a grand romantic gesture, show her what she means to you."

"It is not you and Ezra hermana, I don't even know what works for you and him can work for me and Iris too. She seems a little different these days, a little afraid, a little confused and always thinking something that she doesn't wishes to share with me." I told her.

"Everyone has some secret; I know Ezra and I did too. But as the time came, we have revealed them ourselves and then we mended our differences, I know this works for both of you two. You need to take your time and then you need to talk your issues. That is how it should be done" She told me.

"When did you grown up this much Rosa? I never ever realized that." I said. "When you have not one but two children in your home you need to grow up. Living with Ezra when he still behaves as a child is not something everyone can do" I laughed at this. "Yes, not everyone can handle Ezra, not when he is in his moods."

She started to laugh. "You and Ezra both are kids, even when you are a big brother to me, you still act like a little boy."

I smiled, even in the toughest time she manages to make me smile. "You are very right hermana, I am going to talk to her and hope so until tomorrow, she will be happy as she should be" "Hope so too, brother, hope you find your happiness"

I needed that call. And that has straightened the things up. I know exactly what I need to do. It is Vegas and what happens in Vegas should stay in Vegas. No need to tell anyone. We can keep it to ourselves. She and I can keep our marriage hidden until it is absolutely necessary to let anyone know. And maybe I can give her everything she was hoping from the wedding.

I need to let her know that she was right. She deserves it, an apology maybe she more than an apology. I think I have hurt her very much. This wasn't supposed to happen, this was supposed to be one big happy reunion. But as always, I have to mess it up yet again.

"Your Drink sir, the strongest we got" "Thank you" I said to the bar tender as he was cleaning up and it was late at night, But the world around me is wide awake so was I. I was hoping for a different kind of finish tonight, with her in my arms dancing under the moonlight. But my rotten luck, that all I got is an angry bride. And what's more she is not even by my side.

"Another one sir?" He asked. "Yes, thank you" I said and he passed me another one. "Another one please" I said, I need all the courage I can get today and that is just a little bit of requirement, what I need is to get is the right words, but words never been my strength. I always struggled with the correct words always but not today, today is the day I need the words to come right out of my mouth and at the right time. I have to make her understand, I have to.

"Still very much, worried I guess something never changes, not for anything. "

That voice could it be?
