The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter Six: Wedding Rehearsal

It's still feels like a dream to me. I met him after searching for him all these years. And he's engaged to my friend. Though, we've just met but I still regard Debby as a friend. She was the only person that reach out to me apart from Lilian. Speaking of Lilian, I need to prepare cos we're going to the wedding rehearsal today being Sunday.

I have called Lily and she told me that she will be back in time today for the rehearsal. I'm to meet her at the venue which is like two hours drive from where I stay.

I quickly put on my teal green strapless gown with a white platform. I got into my car and drive all the way through, have call Lily and she said she's already at the venue. I can't wait to see her. Gosh I've missed her!!.

Exactly two hours later, I packed in front of a big white St Patrick's cathedral,where Lilian will be getting married in three months time.

I saw Lilian rushing to meet me, she was putting on a white ball gown, her hair was packed up in a ponytail and bouncing at her back as she run to meet me. I quickly got out of the car and meet her halfway,and hug her. I saw danny walking to meet us and he also hug and greet me.

"Hey! Nina," he bend to kiss me on my cheeks.

" long time no see" he smile while hugging me and lily together.

"Hey! to you too"

During the few times I've got to meet him, we've gotten closer and I like him much more than some guys, speaking of him! Where is he?. My eyes scan the whole parking lot and around the church but there was no sign of Michael anywhere.

He's suppose to be here since he's Danny best man, though I didn't ask Lily nor Danny as walk into the church.

The priest was standing on the pulpit dressed in a white robe. He was quite old. But his voice is quite young when he talks.

"Are you all ready "He ask as he look at Danny who was trying to make a phone call.

"Not yet!! "We are still waiting for Michael " Danny went back to typing away on his phone while the priest sat down on one of the chairs on the pulpit.

I sensed him before he enter into the auditorium. My body couldn't contain the excitement that washed through me. Ever since meeting him my heart beat has exploded.

"Sorry I'm late"Michael said as he stroll slowly into the church looking dashing ever in a teal green tuxedo and a white shirt. I didn't know I was checking him out until Lily tap me on the shoulder and give me a look that says "isn't he cute? " as she smile.

I'm happy that he's here but didn't like the fact that he brought Debby. She was putting on a teal green palazzo trouser with a white top and clinking to his arms like he will disappear the moment she let's go.

She greeted me with a wink without letting go of Michael's arm and I responded with a nod. Gosh! I hate her already.

Lilian's and Danny's parents were already seated, I didn't notice them come in after Michael cos I was preoccupied with gawking at Michael. But nonetheless, I went to greet Lilian's parents. They were like my second parents. My family owe them alot. They were happy to see me and ask after my dad. Then we got ready for the rehearsal.

Danny was already Standing in front of the priest while Micheal stood behind him. Lilian and I were getting ready to walk down the aisle. Walking behind Lillian who was holding into the arms of her father, I couldn't help but wish that I was walking with my father to meet Micheal.

I look at Michael, only to find his eyes on me, his face was hard, I couldn't know what he was thinking. I hold his stare as I walk up to him and stood beside him.

Lillian and Danny stood in front of the priest while we both stood behind them. They took turns to say their vows. Everyone clapped when they were through. Lilian turn to hug everyone including me while mouthing "Thank you".

Michael

The drive to the cathedral was quiet with I and Deborah sitting at the back of my limousine.

She was dressed in a teal green Palazzo trousers and a white top. Her hair was packed into a ponytail, she's light-skin, 6 feet 5 inches tall and she's a model.

She is every man's dream wife. But no matter how beautiful she looks, I will never love her as my wife. I know she loves me but I don't love her.

We are always like this any time we are together we don't talk to each other but when in the public will try to act like couple in love with each other.

I told her right from the beginning that I don't love her and that our marriage will be of convenience.

Immediately, we arrive at the church. Deborah came to hook her hands around me. I wanted to remove her hands from me but notice that Danny and Lillian's parents were coming behind us, so I let her be.

"Sorry I'm late!"

I said immediately I got into the auditorium, I noticed that they were all waiting for me, my eyes scan the room until it landed on a particular someone,

I suck in breathe. She looked dashing in a long bare back teal green gown, which fitted her as a second skin, enhances her brown eyes. She was beautiful as a goddess.

She turn to stare at me when she notice my eyes on her but her expression change when she notice Debbie beside me.

Without wasting time we all got into our role for the rehearsal.

I was standing behind Danny in front of the pulpit, while Lillian and Nina were walking down the aisle.

She looked at me and I hold her stare. Within me I couldn't help but wish that she was walking down the aisle to meet me.

After the couple have recited their vows and everyone were rushing to get home because it was already late.

I saw Nina rushing into her car. I rush to follow her at least to talk to her but she zoom off without a second glance.

After yesterday, she has been avoiding me like plague. Is it because of Deborah Melton?. This stupid woman! Shouldn't she fight for the one she loves. I felt the connection when she was walking down the aisle with Lilian. She even smiled at me today. I walk into the car with Deborah beside me.

"I thought you said she wasn't the Nina?" Deborah question softly, immediately we were seated at the back of the limousine while John sat down in front beside Frank, my driver.

"Who?" I ask, not understanding what she was saying, right now all I'm thinking about is Nina.
