Chapter 2 Minerva's stepmother, Cecelia's footsteps halted midway as Minerva eventually heard everything they'd kept hidden for years. She went out to use the restroom and left the stylist with Minerva, but after using the restroom and on getting to Minerva's dressing room, she found out that Minerva was missing. Her mind became unsettled, and she knew instantly that Minerva was heading to Ryder's dressing room. She quickly followed Minerva while trying to communicate with her daughter, but the phone was unanswered. "Maya and Ryder are so reckless that they can't keep their hands to themselves," she let out a sigh, rubbing her temple, which had started to ache. "Is she supposed to find out today? The plan had been going so well and accordingly. Damn, I don't think, after witnessing this, the b***h would want to continue with the wedding." She tried calling Ryder's number too, but he also wasn't answering. She stopped calling the two people and waited, watching the next step Minerva would take. Minerva looked very miserable, her eyes puffed from crying and her make-up ruined, the noise they were making was very disgusting to hear, and she couldn't endure everything anymore. She needed to clear her head. She doesn't care about anything right now and even her head wasn't processing anything and the only thing that's replaying in her memory is the betrayal she had witnessed today. She stood up slowly and let out a self-mocking smile. Today, which was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, turned out to be the most unfortunate day of her life. Her heart and chest ached terribly, it felt as if she'd been hit by a thousand cars. The pain was unbearable. She needed space to clear her head and think about everything. She glanced at the room one last time and finally walked away slowly. Cecelia quickly hid herself in a corner watching as Minerva walked slowly out of the hotel. "Tchhhh, the foolish girl really looked pitiful." Cecelia rolled her eyes and her expression became cold. She walked straight to Ryder's dressing room, her brow furrowed in disgust, hearing her daughter moaning loudly. She used one hand to cover her ear and bang on the door loudly with the other hand, thanks to the foolish girl that had booked this entire suite or else people would have come out at the rate that she was using to bang on the door. Ryder and Maya stiffened and stopped their action. They looked at each other with widened eyes and quickly separated. "s**t, could that be Minerva?" He cursed, pulling up his pants while Maya was also trying to dress herself up properly. But Ryder was unable to zip up his pants because the zip had already worn out at the hit of the moment. "Damn!" His phone screen lit up, and he picked it up and checked it and there he saw ten missed calls from his mother-in-law. Both him and Maya looked at each other with horrible expressions. "Ryder and Maya, come out this instant." They opened the door and got out to see a fuming Cecelia by the door. She looked at them and shook her head. "Do you know that you two have just spoiled everything we've been planning for years? Minerva has found out about everything just because you two can't keep your hand to yourself. She was at the door." Maya let out a gasp, her hand covering her mouth while Ryder also stood staring in bewilderment. He ruffled his hair and cursed repeatedly. "What's the next line of action now? What can we do? We've almost achieved everything and this wedding is to achieve that. "She probably wouldn't want to get married or have anything to do with a cheater." Ryder looked at his mother-in-law. "Yes, maybe Ryder could get into her head by whispering sweet nothing and apologizing, so that she could just sign the wedding papers." Maya was equally stressed, thinking that her puppet stepsister wouldn't want to heed to them again and this would spoil all the dreams she had. "You should think about the consequences of your action next time." She let out a sigh and felt her heart soften, already looking at her daughter's pitiful face. "It's only because I'm wise, and I've predicted something like that. That's the only reason we were going to be turning the tables on her. "Come here." They came closer to her, and she whispered some words into their ears. Their eyes widened in shock. Both Ryder and Maya let out a sigh of relief while Cecelia had a smug grin. Maya went forward to hug her mother, but her mother raised her hand midway with a scrunched nose. "Go and shower first." Maya rubbed her ears shamefully and nodded, leaving. "Thank you so much mom, what would I do without you?" Cecelia turned to Ryder. "Everything is ready, you just need to act fast." **** Minerva walked dazedly, her vision blurry at every step she took. Her throat felt dry, and her brain seemed to freeze. She was feeling unbearable heat and thirst. What was happening to her now? She needed water badly. She walked around not wanting to go back to her dressing room. Unknown to her that some bad men were lurking around in the corner, watching all her movements and ready to prey on her. With a dazed mind, she walked into the room where she had seen the water dispenser, not knowing she was entering the wolf pack. The men monitoring her followed her in and cornered her. "Oh baby girl, let's play with you. We'll treat you nicely." Minerva looked up scared and uncomfortable by the sudden intrusion. Although her brain was foggy and her body was uncomfortable, she still sensed the danger radiating from the men. "Who are you? Go away and let me go easily, or I shout." Minerva was already very scared, secretly tugging at her wedding dress in panic. "No, we clearly think that you need our help with the way your body is feeling." The first man smirked, coming closer to her. "Help, help, help!!" Minerva shouted while the men tried to cover her mouth. The man showering in the bathroom's hearing was very good, a girl was clearly screaming for help. He was not a hero, but he couldn't tolerate a girl being molested. He quickly wrapped a towel around his waist and went out of the bathroom only to find a girl in a wedding dress being molested.
