Dread began to grip Kelly’s heart. There was only one thing reverberating in her mind at that moment and it was the thought that she must do something – anything – to delay this wedding. She had to buy time for her knight in shining armor to arrive. But how? What should she possibly do to cause a ruckus big enough to delay a wedding?
Kelly started panicking when she saw two of the men in black approach the door and stood on both sides and then simultaneously held the door handles. Her heart was pounding so loudly, it was rumbling so deafeningly in her ears and making her feel so overwhelmed. No! Wait! Wait a second! Kai isn’t here yet!
Unable to exercise logic and sense properly perhaps due to all that panic and dread filling her heart and mind, the best option Kelly could think of doing at that moment was to scream at the men to stop. However, before a sound could escape from her lips, the men abruptly let go of the door handles. One of them seemed to be talking to someone who was speaking into his Bluetooth earphone while the other one was looking at his wristwatch.
Having this god sent interruption without her needing to embarrass herself, Kelly’s hysterical panic dropped down just a notch and curiosity began to momentarily replace the desperate look in her eyes. "What’s wrong? Is there a problem?" she asked.
The men turned towards her and then stared at each other, silently communicating amongst themselves if it was a wise thing for them to answer her queries or not. Kelly’s expression hardened at their reluctance and she squared her shoulders. "Did you not hear me?! Is there a problem?!" Kelly’s voice was fiery and sounded out her temper, causing the men to blink in surprise. How did the poor damsel in distress suddenly looked like a fierce villainess?
"Er... It’s not a major problem, Miss Young. It’s just that..." The man paused and looked at his comrade again.
"What?! Spit it out!" Kelly demanded and the man sighed.
"Mr. Young told us to have you stand by for a little while longer."
Kelly creased her brows in surprise. They were proceeding with so much haste just a while ago so why the sudden hold up? "Why? Is there a problem?"
"It seemed Mr. Flynn has not arrived yet, but don’t worry Miss Young, I’m certain he’s already on his way here. Something major must have delayed him."
The surprise was so shocking Kelly momentarily fell into a trance. However, the next moment, the corners of her lips curved up slightly.
"So... you’re saying that the groom isn’t here yet?" She mumbled to herself. Her voice had a tinge of amusement to it. "And you men want me – the star of the show – to continue standing and waiting, in front of the church’s door to wait for him?"
And then, suddenly, the music started. Kelly couldn’t stop the huge smile on her face. Because she knew that Tristan was not going to arrive. He must be with her Kai, right now. Her knight in shining armor must’ve held him captive to stop the wedding. Oh god... she felt so happy. Her knight saved her once again and she was so right. She was so glad she had trusted him. Kai would never let her marry that bastard! freewēbnoveℓ.com
A tall and gorgeous man in tailored wedding suit made everyone catch their breaths. Even Kelly’s father was forced to halt at the sight of this good-looking stranger while Kelly literally turned into a statue and had her lips parted as she stared at him.
The man faced Kelly’s father and with a serious expression, he spoke. "Since the groom has decided to forfeit, I would like to be the groom instead and marry your daughter."
Kelly’s father gritted his teeth in anger, face turning an interesting shade of deep red. "Who the fuc –"
"Please let me introduce myself." Kai cut him off as he announced firmly and confidently, "I am Skyler Qinn, CEO of Qinn Enterprise. The one and only heir of my late brother, Ezekiel Qinn."
