( THE WEDDING )
“Are you sure about this decision of yours?” Ben
asked as he watch Logan clear his desk for the
day.
“I am. I can’t let Susan down” he replied.
“But you are getting married to her! How is that
helping her?” Ben yelled at him but Logan only
gave a smile in return.
The opening of the door prevented him from
giving a reply.
“Every thing is set sir ” His secretary informed.
“Is Susan ready?” Logan asked.
“She’s all set and is waiting at the church” the
secretary replied.
“Then lets go” Logan said wanting to leave but
Ben held onto his hand.
“Don’t do this”
“Stop over reacting and let’s go” Logan said as
he pulled out his hand before leaving the office.
“This is bad and where is Whitney to stop all
this!” Ben muttered.
He pulled out his phone and dialled Whitney
number and when she didn’t pick, he decided to
call Elizabeth who answered on time.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with the both of
them but just let Whitney know this” Ben said
before ending the call.
On the other hand, Elizabeth who was getting
ready for class turned to Whitney as she join her
in their room.
“What’s wrong?” Whitney asked
“This is bad. Logan is getting married” Elizabeth
said and on hearing that Whitney felt a pain in
her heart, some thing which got her seating on
the bed.
“Are you okay? Is everything fine with your
heart?” Elizabeth asked.
“Yes, am just shocked by what you’ve said. Is it
true? Is he getting married?” Whitney asked.
“He is. Ben called to tell me about it”
“Wh…who is he getting married to?” Whitney
asked.
“Who else if it isn’t Susan. You need to stop him,
you’ve got to….”
“Let’s go to class, we will be late” Whitney said
as she stood up to get her things.
“Wait, aren’t you going to do some thing about
this?” Elizabeth asked her.
“What do you want me to do? If he’s getting
married to Susan then he must have realized
that we are not meant to be and that’s what
have wanted all along” she muttered looking
sad when she said the last part.
“So you won’t do a thing?”
“I won’t. Let’s go to class or we will be late”
Whitney said as she left the room and
reluctantly Elizabeth followed.
While the professor called for attendance,
Whitney sat in silence deep in thought.
When the professor called her name, she didn’t
reply.
Elizabeth who was seated by her side gave her
a nudge only for her to get up.
“What’s wrong?” The startled Elizabeth ask.
“I can’t let him get married to her, I just can’t”
Whitney answered before running out of class
with Elizabeth following suit.
Thanks to a friend of theirs, they took her car to
the venue and through the whole of ride
Whitney kept urging Elizabeth to drive fast.
As soon as they got to the church, Whitney got
out of the car hurrying up the stairs.
Mean while, Logan and Susan stood in front of
the altar while the little guest that had invited
watch them get married.
“If anyone here is against this marriage, he or
she should speak or forever hold their peace”
the priest said and when no one said a thing.
He cleared his throat to continue the ceremony
when the door burst open revealing Whitney.
“Don’t get married to her!” Whitney yelled as she
drew everyone’s attention on her.
“Whitney” Logan called while Ben let out a slow
smile.
“You can’t get married to her, I won’t let you!”
Whitney declared and as soon as she got to
where he was, she took hold of his hand and
pulled him out of the church Leaving every one
starring after them.
“Here you go” Elizabeth said as she threw her
the car keys.
“Get in, Logan” Whitney ordered.
“Whitney you’ve got it wrong, I….”
“Get in or I swear I will do some thing you don’t
like” She threatened and slowly Logan got into
the car while she drove them off.
Elizabeth watch the car drove off with a smile
on her face.
She’s glad that she made it on time to church to
stop the wedding, she thought as she turned
only to see Ben starring at her.
“Isn’t your friend some thing?” Elizabeth yelled
as she walk towards him.
“How can he get married to some one when he
claim to be in love with Whitney. Is this how
men change their words?” Elizabeth asked as
she lay her anger on him.
“And who told you that he’s getting married to
her?” Ben asked confusing Elizabeth for a while.
“But you called and told me about the wedding”
she said softly.
“I did but I missed telling you the important part
which is that this wedding they pulled is all a
fake” Ben said.
“Fake?”
“Yes. Susan younger sister is an event planner,
she recently joined a bid and to win that bid she
needs to send in a video of one of the best
wedding she has organized and since the one
she’s done in the past doesn’t please her, she
thought about creating a fake wedding for the
bid which led to her talking about it with Susan
who ended up asking for Logan’s help”
“So all of what you saw today is a fake wedding
for the bid” Ben explained.
“That’s good to know. For a while I really
thought that he’s getting married to her and….
oh! Thanks to what you told me, I gave Whitney
the wrong information. It’s best that I call her”
Elizabeth said as she tried to make a call but
Ben stop her.
“Let them talk about it themselves. We’ve done
enough for them and so Its up to them to finish
it” Ben suggested which got her agreeing.
“Now that Whitney and Logan are both together.
Why don’t we talk about us” Ben said lightly.
“What’s there to talk about?” Elizabeth ask as
she turn away from him but he took hold of her
hand and pulled her into his arms.
“What are you…”
“You ran away the other day I told you of my
feelings and you are trying to do it again” He cut
in abruptly.
“I didn’t run away, I just didn’t want to say a
thing and….”
“You’ve got to say it now. Do you feel the same
or am I just wasting my time with you? You’ve
got to let me know rather than to keep me
hanging” Ben stated firmly.
“Well I….I….I….you came onto me too fast and
it’s hard trying to think things through and so
it’s best if we….”
“I get it. It’s best if we stay away from each
other, I was wrong to fall In love with you” he
said as he turned to leave but she pulled him
back and gave him a startling kiss on the lips.
“Am not saying we should stay away from each
other. What I meant is that we give it a try cause
I…I feel some thing too” she said when she
pulled away from him.
Ben could only stare at her and feeling shy she
ran off leaving him starring after her.

Whitney stopped the car abruptly and Logan
turn to stare at her.
He was about to speak when she got out of the
car.
Logan got out of the car too and slowly made
way to where she stood.
“Whitney you’ve got to…” He was cut off when
she began to hit him on the chest.
“How could you! How can you agree to get
married to some one else when you told me you
love me! Do feelings change that easily? It’s just
been three days since I left and I know that what
I said to you back then was mean but still….how
can you choose to marry her? How can you
agree to stand on the aisle with some one other
than me. After making me fall helplessly for
you!” She said as she continued to hit his chest
before bursting out in tears.
“What did you just say?” Logan asked and when
she kept crying not saying a word to him, he
took hold of her cheek and force her to stare at
him
“Are you in love with me?” He asked.
“Do you really have to ask?” She choked out
softly and that got him smiling.
“The wedding with Susan is all a fake. It isn’t
real ” he said and that stopped the sobs.
“Really?”
“Really. How can I marry some one else when
am in love with you, do you really think that low
of me?” He asked which got her shaking her
head.
“Then you should believe me when I tell you that
I love you. Infact I was thinking of ways to prove
to you that we belong to each other when you
showed up”
“I love you Whitney, it has always been you.
Crystal saved you for one reason and that
reason is to make my life whole again so don’t
you think of leaving me. Now that you’ve
confess to me, I don’t plan to let you go” He
declared softly.
“And I don’t plan to leave you,ever” she added
lightly before giving him a kiss which Logan
reciprocate.
They pulled apart to stare at each other and
grinning widely, Logan turn to the sea.
“She’s finally mine” he yelled out which got her
bursting out In laughter.
“Whitney is mine and no one else!” He yelled out
again and bending towards her, he lifted her
into his arms spinning her around on the soft
sand.
“Put me down, Logan” she said as she gently
hit his arm which got him putting her down.
“So? Are you moving back with me?” Logan
asked.
“If you still want me to” she replied.
“Of course I want you….”
“Oh no! I was in the middle of an important
class when I came to you. Have got to get back
to the hospital before I get an F” she said as she
quickly went back to the car while he went to
join her.

“What did you just say?” Luther asked Romeo
who stood firm in front of him.
“I said that I want to break the deal we have ”
Romeo said again.
“So you are willing to break your engagement
with my daughter and stop me from supporting
your treatment right?” Luther asked which got
him nodding.
“Have you told Mary about this?”
“I haven’t, I just wanted you to know about it
first” Romeo answered.
“Fine then. You can leave my office and make
sure you give the news to Mary yourself” Luther
told him and Romeo nodded before leaving his
office.
He should have made the decision a long time.
Now that he has finally made his decision, he’s
going to get his love which is Whitney….
