Chapter 8 The wedding

Emily's POV

It's already a week to the wedding. I am so nervous.

I woke up and noticed James was not beside me. I stood up and I saw a note on the table. He told me he had to go to the office early because there was a meeting, and Nanny had gone to her village to visit some relatives. He said I should dress and the driver would bring me to his company to have breakfast with him.

After reading the note, I dashed to the bathroom and had my shower. Then I dressed. I picked up my phone and I saw many messages. Then a call came in. It was Abigail.

"Hello Abigail, what's up?"

Abigail: "Girl, didn't you see the trending news?"

"Which trending news?" I asked her.

Abigail: "You are trending, babe. You and James' marriage is all over the internet. Don't tell me you don't know about this."

"What!!" I was shocked when I heard this. "Did they also release my picture?" I asked her.

Abigail: "Yes, your picture is released."

She told me. I didn't know what to do, so I cut the call and told her I would call her back.

I called James. Luckily he picked up.

"James, what's happening?" I asked because I knew he would already know what I'm talking about.

James: "My love, is it about the news?" he asked.

"Yes, what's going on?"

James: "My love, the press released it and it was bound to happen. Let the driver bring you to the office and we will talk about it."

"Okay," I answered him and I cut the call. I went downstairs to meet Michael. _Michael is our driver._ After reaching the company, I covered my face first before getting down from the car.

_Wow, this building is amazing. My husband is such a hardworking man._ I entered the building and I went to the receptionist side.

Emma: "Ma'am, please who are you looking for?" she asked me.

"I'm looking for James." I opened my face for her to see me well. Then she rolled her eyes at me.

I was surprised. Didn't she know who I am? How could she roll her eyes at me.

"Emma, do you have an appointment with him?"

"No, but I'm his wife."

Emma: "I'm sorry, but if you don't have an appointment with him I can't let you pass."

_What do you mean you will not let me pass?_ What kind of lunatics is James keeping here? I called James and I told him what happened. He told me I should wait, that someone would pick me up soon.

After waiting for a while, a man picked me up. I assumed he was his PA. I thanked him and asked for his name. He told me his name was Ethan.

We finally reached his office and I started explaining what happened with the receptionist. He frowned and made a call to the receptionist and asked her to come to his office.

We were sitting on the couch together when the receptionist came in with a knock.

She grinned when she saw the way we were sitting.

Then before James could talk, another knock came and James asked the person to enter.

It was Ethan. He came to deliver the food.

James set the food on the table for me and he asked me to start eating.

Now it was my turn for payback. I smirked at her and James started addressing her behavior and warned her that if she repeated it again, he was going to fire her.

After she left, I hugged James and thanked him for fighting for me.

James: "You don't need to thank me, my love. It's my duty."

Then he called Ethan and told him to announce to the whole office that whoever disrespected his wife would be fired immediately.

After we finished eating, James started talking.

James: "Sweetheart, Mom said she will come to pick you up at the company in a few minutes. You will go to the mall to try on the wedding dress."

"Okay baby. Do you know your receptionist was like that because she obviously has a crush on you? I guess I have rivals."

James: "Come on baby, she is not worth being your rival. Come on, Mom is downstairs. Let me walk you down."

I followed him downstairs, mainly so the people in the office would see that I am his and no one can disrespect me.

_Now it's the wedding day_

I was so nervous when I was in the wedding dress. How did my life, from a normal girl, turn to this? I couldn't believe I would be married at my 18th.

Evelyn and my mom came upstairs to check on me.

Evelyn: "I can see they are done doing magic on your face and hair. You look so beautiful, my child."

Mom: "Yes, my daughter. You look lovely. I'm sure James will be proud of you."

I smiled at both of them as they walked me downstairs, and I entered the car with my dad because he would be the one to walk me down the aisle.

After a while, we reached the wedding venue and I walked down the aisle with my dad. James was busy smiling at me. I reached his side as he took my hand and the priest started with his part...

We finished the wedding and James took me to greet some guests. My best friend was there, smiling at me. It was time for me to throw the flower bouquet. All the girls gathered and I threw it. I turned to look at the lucky girl and it was my best friend. I was very happy. The wedding came to an end.

We reached home and our room was decorated with flowers and everything. It was beautiful.

We spent the night together, talking and enjoying our first night as husband and wife.
