CHAPTER 4

Moving back to the pulpit, she bent towards Niklas and whispered something to his ear " Don't overthink your self, those were mere words and they meant nothing to me"

He just nodded. Like the lady had said, he was a man of high social ranking getting married to an unrecognized fellow as she was and it was all because of his mum. He wanted to make her happy. He had discovered that his father was cheating on her with other women. But although he was trying to protect her from knowing about it , it looked as if she knew something. Marrying the lady of her choice and doing her biddings was what he had vowed to do to make her happy. And now it was this lady who seemed so full of herself and rude that he seemed to be marrying. She seemed to be forgetting whom he was. Whatever she was, he wouldn't be the least bothered. All he was concerned about was that she answered his name and follow his mom wherever she wants to showcase her at. " With the absence of any other interruptions, I now pronounce you two as husband and wife. You may kiss your bride"

The priest said. "Oh finally, to fulfill this part, I almost thought it wouldn't be coming, but kissing this......." Niklas thought, as he bent his head forward to kiss her, after he had lifted her veil. This was all for his mother, if not for her, he wouldn't be doing this. Andrea watched as he bent over to kiss her , as he came closer, she shifted her lips and he ended up pecking her . To people, it would seem as if they kissed, no one would notice it cos they were far, not even the priest, the person that may see it would be the one standing adjacent them, and no one was there, except for Niklas mother . She wouldn't mind even if she noticed it. Andrea thought. She had learnt that skill from movies she had auditioned for before.

" Don't be in a haste to kiss me next time" Andrea whispered before faking a smile and facing the audience.

Niklas only Shaked his head. She seemed to be wanting him to reply her.He wasn't going to talk to her and that was it. She didn't exist to him. She was nothing and that was what she was.

Later after they had moved to their table at the reception hall , his mother,Mrs Brillantes came over to their table to feed them the cake they had cut.

" From now on, call me mother" she said to Andrea" Of course...... Mother" she said and Mrs Brillantes smiled. Coming closer to to them both, she asked" Andrea, I noticed you didn't kiss your husband earlier, I hope he hasn't annoyed you already"

" Mum!!!" Niklas looked at her. He knew how much she had always wished for a daughter but that did not mean that she would take this girls side over him.

" It was nothing mom, just that my husband forgot to brush his teeth today and his mouth had this offensive odor" Andrea answered.

" What? Excuse me, since my life I've never missed brushing my teeth. Why wouldn't I brush,i am a CEO for your information, what example will I be setting for others by that?"

" So you can talk, I thought you were deaf and dumb" " I'm not .........." And then he stopped half way.

And that instant it struck him, he had answered her. Oh that annoying scammer!!! He closed his mouth tight and did not talk again. How rude she was to insult him, her husband and a CEO for that matter. Being his wife, he'll make her regret this insult he promised.

Meanwhile Mrs Brillantes stood smiling. So her son could talk to defend himself and to a girl. She had always received complaints from people about her son's snubbish attitude and now he talked?? Andrea was a gem she was going to keep forever.
