My External Love

chapter eight:

Lord Lucas: I kept on hitting my legs on the ground after Lillian informed me of her soon to happen marriage, I would have left this family when I had the chance if not for my promise to her mom, I won't sit and let this happen, not when am still alive, I stood up and marched to the door, “ dad where to” she asked but I only turned my head, looked at her, smiled and left.

( At the senior Lord Chambers, he is smoking out of his pipe while resting on his couch)

Lord Jeremy (Senior Lord) : “fuff" I blew out the smoke from my pipes into the air, I was just about to put the pipes into my mouth again when the door flung open suddenly and someone barge in.

Lord Lucas: “ Jeremy!” I yelled as I entered his room, as usual he was doing what he loves and knows how to do best, I walked up to him and took a seat on the couch opposite his then looked him in the eyeballs. “ what's the meaning of the nonsense you are planning" I said in a very angry tone and wait for him to reply.

Lord Jeremy: I smirked at his attitude, he never seize to stop amaze me, I drew up smoke from my pipes and blew it out into the air, “ what about it Lucas? " I asked with no emotion or what so ever, clearly he was shocked at my response, he didn't see it coming, knowing fully well what his next question will be, I continued “ she's not the first to get married out neither is she the youngest, the man in question is not a stranger and he is capable, so don't worry, she will be fine and will survive just like the rest, if at all you still have a problem with it then why now, after all three of your nieces got married the same way so why the fuss over her, what's the difference? ” I said smirking at the last question, he can't refuse it now, not when our brother's daughters got married the same way and age, if eyes could shoot lasers then his would shoot out flames, his eyes were as red as a volcano flame now but am not buying it, she's no different from the rest so if he doesn't like it, then he should go and die for all I care, we both stare at each other for a long time before he hit his first hard on the couch which made a ‘puff’ sound, he stood up and left angrily, I couldn't care less, I relaxed my shoulders well on the couch as I continue with my smoking.

Lady Mina: after I poured out myself in my secret room, I got up and left, then head to the shower to get myself refreshed before deciding to go to my so called husband's room, on my way heading there, I could see him coming from the distance, his majestic features is enough for my heart to beam with a smile, I felt like a glorious being was in view and I could see love revolving round him, I don't know how or why but a sweet smile crossed my face as we get closer, when close enough, I wanted to say something but before a sound could even come from me, he walked passed me sharply with eyes as red as fire and an angry face that could scare the living day light out of you, I didn't even get the chance to say hi or hello, it's always as if I never existed or that am an invisible being whenever ever his around, “ha!” I sighed out loud, I stood and watch his shadow fade in the distance, it has always been like this from the start, “ my lost love” I whispered to no one but myself.

( Two weeks later)

( In Lillian's room, she's laying on her bed in a plane satin night gown)

Lillian: it's been quite tiring today, Michelle and I are to be wedded in two days time and even though he's been making a lot of effort to get us close, am still finding it difficult to be comfortable around him, I always find myself losing interest in any conversation with him no matter how hard I try, I just can't like him let alone love him but what can I do or say to change the way things are right now, I had no choice but to cope with it all, the selection process of the wedding dress, the flavor and type of cake and selection of meals, drinks and desserts alongside others were done today and I must say it was anything but fun, being around Michelle made it hell like for me, “ ha! My poor papa! ” he hasn't been happy since he got to hear about this, he now spends a lot of time alone in his room, though I do hear him call and give orders to the servants but he hasn't said much to me or laugh at all, “ ha! ”I sigh deeply and hope all gets well soon.

( In the Temple)

Maid Mary: “ oh dear God! let not thy plans fail, for I come to thee with clean hands and heart...” I prayed my heart out to God at the alter, it's two days away from Lady Lillian's planned wedding and preparations have started all round the mansion, some servants are quite happy about this due to the goodies and freedom even if it's just for a few hours, unlike most families and nobles, only few servants are needed and this includes the top and head servants, so it's a free world for the other servants, “ ha! ” I sighed, only if they knew what this whole thing is about, then they would be more concerned than happy.

( In Lord Lucas Chambers)

Lord Lucas: “ hope all plans are in motion, don't forget the important stuff and ensure they are all in place and ready....” the call ended and I smiled, I won't miss out in the preparations for the wedding after all, am glad to be the father of the day..........
