"Hurry up Boyle",Pa Davis yelled. "We're almost late for the appointment.

His father was now really furious with him for delaying so he ad to go but he was already determined to spoil the show for them.

Back at Raymond Potter's House, Gia's phone was seized by her mom because she created a scene showing her disagreement with the arranged union. She was equally grounded that she couldn't visit anybody or have any visitor. She was in a great tumoil that she was about to be separated from the love of her life.

By 12 noon, the Walker's family visited the Potter's home.

"Wow, who do we have here," madam Emily said to Mrs Potter, "my future in-law, you are welcome to our humble abode".

" Thank you my dear. Please let us see our daughter-in-law",said Mrs Potter.

" No problem, you will get to see her soon"

"Welcome to my home, jolly good fellow, let's seal our long term friendship with our children's union" said Mr Raymond while smiling and shaking hands with his very good friend, Pa Davis. Pa Davis was so so happy that he couldn't wait for the marriage ceremony to finally hold. Mr Raymond Potter ushered them into his living room and they all say down and gisted about old times.

On Boyle's side, mere looking at him, one would understand that he was very upset but none of the parties bothered to ask him what the problem was. He was actually very handsome to behold,so they were all mesmerized by his good looks.

Back in the room, Gia was being dressed up to meet her betrothed. She looked exclusively beautiful in her regalia but she was not happy. The maids tried as much as possible to make her happy but all efforts proved abortive.

When she was finally called out to meet her betrothed, she was determined to give whoever the guy is the worst hostility one can ever imagine. As she was walking down the stairs with her heads up, she looked very stunning with an intimidating aura.

"Here comes my gorgeous daughter" announced Mr Raymond while all looked up.They were all stunned by her beauty. Boyle was extremely surprised to see His looking so beautifully dressed up. His mind went blank for some seconds before he found voice and called out to her.

"Gia!!!!" She was very shocked to hear the voice that always makes her heart flutter. She felt lost but managed to turn to the direction where the voice came from. She stopped with her mouth agape as she beheld the handsome face of her lover. She felt lost but also called him back, "Boyle, is that you??"

Boyle raced to the stairs and they both hugged each other affectionately which left their parents amazed. The two lovers felt time have stopped as they were overwhelmed by their emotion.

They couldn't help but have their first kiss before their parents. Their parents were dumbfounded by the turn out of the event. The two lovers were at the edge of going wild when they were brought back to reality by their family. They were embarrassed but still joyous at the turn out of the whole thing. Boyle gently held Gia's hand as they both walked down the stairs like newly wedded couple. Infact looking at them alone you will confirm that they are a match made in heaven. Their parents couldn't help but gave a resounding ovation. Though they don't know the story of how everything came to be but then they know that their aged plan was a success.

After everyone settled down, Boyle told everyone present their love story. Both parties were very happy as they could fulfill their business ambition as well as their children's marriage. A month later, the marriage certificate was filed and registered at the marriage court. This was followed by a luxurious wedding between the children of the two beasts in the business world. It was graced by men and families from different works of life. Infact, the wedding was the talk of the Town for several months.
