It was 5pm when I looked at the big clock hanging from the wall. I'm at the Linger Hotel a five star class hotel,where the wedding and the reception will be held. This is Jeniffer's family hotel,you know the bride to be of that dumb ass Drake Brown.
"Ma'am this way please." One of the wedding coordinator approached me as she was leading me to the big event hall of the hotel. I handed my invitation card to one of the guy who was standing on the door. I know he was part of the event coordinators since the lady who approached me and the guy was just wearing a same matching uniform with a pinned name tag on them. I got to admit the wedding was so glamourous, with big glass chandeliers were hanging on the ceiling, white and old rose colored silky decoration were also decorated around, with pink and white roses all around. Seeing all these beautiful decors and preparation all around makes me pity them because hours from now this will be all gone to waste. Sorry but not sorry.
I can't also ingnore to notice that a lot of people attended the wedding were mostly people from the business world. I know some of these people but not to close to them. Maybe my uncle Reynolds and aunt Elsie know about them,but not me since I'm not into business and stuffs like that. As I walked in I saw my reflection on the glass wall, I was wearing a bodyfitted backless silky peach gown embroided with diamonds and glimmers from top to the bottom of the gown which sexily exposed my back and my shoulders. I can notice some guys were staring at me as well. I'm all used to those stares and glares already so it doesn't bother me at all.
"Samantha darling your here." My attention was caught by a middle aged woman who surprisingly approanched me from behind. It was Jeniffer's mom.
" It's nice that you were able to attend. Is your uncle and Aunt here?" She continued as she was trying to look for them.
" No they're not , they're in abroad right now. That's why I'm here on behalf of them." I saw that her excitement fell as I said it. All I know is that she was looking for them because she wanted to discuss some business matters with my aunt and uncle. "What a shitty family you have Jeniffer" I said to my mind, it's her daughter's wedding and all she's thinking is still money and business?
"Oh ,is that so.....well uhmm that's fine. By the way I have to go the wedding will be start any minute now. If you need anything just don't hesitate to approach any of our assistants here,ok dear?" She smiled to me but I know she's just trying to look nice to me . She is really the same with here daughter. After that I went straight to were my seat that was reserved for me. I'm really excited to what will happen later I can't wait to see the looks on their face as I will give them my surprise gift.
I can't stop myself from smiling with those thoughts in mind.
"Oh gosh, is that Simond he's so hot?"
"I think so, I've never seen him for a long time. I heard he went to Europe for 5 years after college." I heard some girls talking beside me. SIMOND ,are they talking about SIMOND LAHMBERT?I looked at the guy they were referring to, I clinched my fist and bit my lower lip in hatred. Hearing that name made me burst in such anger. I tried to compose myself first and contain my anger. I inhaled and exhaled heavily to control my emotions.
" Excuses me," I asked the girls that were just sitting beside me. They soon turned their heads to me scanning me from head to toe like they were some talent scouts trying to give me critics.
I ignored their looks and continued talking. " I happen to hear your conversation about someone named Simond" as I mentioned that name their looks got intense it's like they were stabbing knives thrown at me.
" Yes? What do you need?" They said so bitchly. Gosh I really can't stand these bitches. But instead of giving back same bitchy attitude to them I just plastered them a nicely fake smile . "Well I was just wondering is his name Simond Lahmbert?"
"Maybe?try to guess" One of the girls said. Then they both laughed. Damn it! This idiots are testing my patience.
" That's why I'm asking cause I don't know. Please don't test my patience girls" I still tried my best to be good with them.
" Sorry but we refuse to answer?" The other girl said. Then they both laughed again in chorus . Shit what's wrong with these people. Is this town full of dumb people? I can't take it anymore.
" I'm just simply asking if he's Simond Lahmbert you idiots. But I think it's too hard for you to answer since I think you're both fucking stupid." I said to them,. "I told you don't test my patience " I saw how furious they were after hearing what I've said.
" How dare you bitch!" The other girl was about to slap me. But someone stopped her it was Jeniffer Linger.
" What are you doing Ashely ?" Jennifer said to the girl. So that ugly dumb girl was named Ashely.
" Uhmm...Jennifer, nothing we were just talking right Susie." She fakely smiled like nothing happened .
" Yeah, nothing we were just talking. " The other girl named Susie I guess,said trying to convince Jennifer. I rolled my eyes as I can't stop myself from being amused. These girls are scared to Jennifer.
" Is that true Samantha? Are they bothering you?" Jeniffer looked at me and asked me this time. I saw how surprise those two bitches when they heard my name. They looked so scared that I was going to tell Jeniffer about what they did.
I was about to answer when Jeniffer's mom interrupted.
" Is everything ok here dear?" Mrs. Linger asked.
I looked at the two bitches first before answering their eyes pleading at me not to say anything bad about them. Then I looked back at Mrs. Linger, " nothing ..the girls and I were just ,,,chatting" then I smiled back at them. I saw the two girls did the same thing too,smiling and nodding like idiots to Mrs. Linger telling her that we were just really chatting.
"Anyways, why are you still here Jeniffer, I thought the wedding's starting." I cut them all and I saw how ashamed Jeniffer looked at us. I think I already has an idea what's going on.
Instead of Jennifer answering me it was Mrs. Linger who answered
" Well there's just a light problem, nothing to worry." Her mom said trying to convince us that everything is still ok. But I can sense the sadness and worry on Jeniffer's face.
" I see, I thought the groom ran away." I joked sarcastically and laughed. I saw Jennifer's reaction when I said that it's like she got scarer hearing that joke. Mrs. Linger and the two bitches tried to laugh fakely with me.
"I'm just joking Jennifer..cheer up I know your groom won't ran away with such beautiful bride like you." I said to her.
" I know" Jennifer replied as she tried to compose her confidence and convince herself that Drake won't ran away on their wedding day.
" Ma'am the groom's here" one of the wedding's coordinators interrupted us. With that Jennifer and her mom went to out and join the entourage. I also went back to my seat and saw Drake Brown rushingly went to where he should stand to be part of the entourage. Poor Drake he can't even fix his necktie properly. He might have just woken up since I can see his eyes are still swollen. Then the wedding started everybody that is part of the entourage started walking down the Isle. When Drake saw me I couldn't paint what his expression was, but it's more of like what-are-you-doing-here- kind of expression. And again I can't help but smile. The more they're pissed the more I get motivated. Then that Simond they said ,walked past me, I looked at him so intensely scanning his appearance from head to toe. I didn't notice earlier that this guy was really a complete definition of hotness and sexy. Though he's wearing he's toxedo paired with black leathered shoes and a cold expressionless face I can still sense how handsome this Simond is. I was caught of guard when my eyesight traced back at his eyes they were also looking at me. So turned my head down and took my phone out of my purse. Damn this was the first time I felt uncomfortable looking with someone and also my first time to turned my head down first just because someone was looking at me. I shrugged that thought out of me.
"Hey," someone poked me from behind. I looked back to see who the hell it was.
"Done it " she continued whisphering at me. It was my sister's friend Diana Pennbergh. We're not that actually close but since I got back here at St. Luisill she was the one helping me with the plans and revenge I've been doing.
"Good " I plainly said.
The wedding went on and on. It made me bored. I really don't like attending this kind of crap. Marriages? I can't even imagine myself tying my life to a man and spend all the rest of my life being a married wife serving some asshole guys. Then after an hour or two the wedding ended and everybody went straight to the next hall where the reception was.
The emcee said a lot of things which I don't understand all since I'm not even interested in what is going on.
" And now I would like to make a toast for my friend here....." One of Drake's friend giving him his best wishes. " And we have prepared a video for the both of you these are the memories we have since we are still studying till now" he continued. Then the video played.
" Did you give the tape?" I asked Diana because she was just sitting beside me.
" Trust me. Any minute from now." She replied.
The video played, first it was just some collated pictures of them happily laughing with some friends and family then the video stopped and showed only blank screen. Everybody was curious of what is happening. Then they all heard moans and groans. My lips smiled after hearing those moaning. I know exactly whose moans are those.
" Oh your so fucking great Drake." A woman's voice said coming from the video.
Everybody looked at Drake with disgust. " Its not me I swear.Damn please stop this video." Drake angrily shouted to the coordinator.
" I will lick your pussy hon. Your so fucking wet. I want more. Your better than Jeniffer." Drake said in the video.
I saw how Jeniffer burst into tears. Now tell us this time Drake if it's still not you.
"It's not really me babe ..trust me, you see there's no one on the video. You can only hear voices so ..so we can't be sure that its really me.babe believe me!" Drake pleaded to Jeniffer and her family.
" He's right we can't be sure that it was him or maybe someone just set this up to ruin the wedding." It was Drake's mom who explianed. Trying to control the scandal and the humiliation of his son. But just after she said that the video played and not just only sounds but with images already and everybody saw two naked people on the bed. Drake Brown was on top of a girl wearing a mask. But it was clearly shown how Drake fucked so hungrily the hooker.
Then the video ended. Everybody was so shocked to what they saw. Jennifer and her family went out of the hall because of too much anger and humiliation.
I was also about to go out when suddenly Drake shouted.
"Samantha Ashlow stop right there you bitch!" He shouted walking so furious towards me.
" Yes?Mr. Brown?" I calmly said.
" Don't play with me you bitch. It was you who framed me!didn't you!" He bluntly accused me.
" Drake stop it. Don't worsen the situation." His dad tried to stoped him.
"NO..everybody should know that this bitch did this all to me last night." he pushed me while saying that and everybody was shocked when he did that to me. I was wearing my stilettos so I wasn't able to control my balance so I fell down. I was waiting for the floor to hit me when I felt someone caught me before I get to hit the floor.
" Stop it right now." A calm yet manly voice said. It was from the guy who caught me. I looked at who it was and saw that it was that Simond.
" I'm gonna kill that bitch." Drake shouted. Everyone in the room were staring at us. Gossiping to be exact.
" How can I do that to you?I don't even know you personally Mr. Brown and if what you were saying was right that I did that to you last night, you can try to ask these ladies" I was pointing at those two bitches earlier near me. " I was with them last night on Jeniffer's bridal shower party,right girls?"
"Uhhmm..yes.Yes she was with us ." They answered, even if they weren't sure if they really saw me at the party last night.stupid girls.
" Hey Drake stop that, you can't blame your stupidity on someone else. Samantha was in the party last night in Jeniffer's house and if your not still convince about it try to ask your wife about it." Diana said to him.
" Shut up Diana for all I know your also part of this scheme."
"Now your accusing me too..oh gosh I can't believe this man." Diana acted like she was innocent about all of he was accusing.
" Come here you bitch!" Drake pulled me suddenly from Simond's arm. I felt my foot twitched because of what he did and it was really painful.
" Ouch your hurting me!" I complained still acting like a damsel in distress.
" I said stop it Drake! " Simond shouted back while pulling my other hand back to him. Gosh this whole pulling thing makes me pissed so much with my foot hurts and my patience getting on it's verge im about to erupt any moment and lose my innocent kind facade I'm trying to impersonate.
"You've done so much trouble, why don't you chase your bride instead pulling this lady with you. You've done so much humiliation in your family don't add it" Simond continued. He got a point there.
" Why?..why? Are you siding her?huh, Simond? Is she one of your whores? Or you being reminded again of that cheap girl ...wait what's her name again ... Yeah I remember Annalise" Drake mockingly said to Simond. But I was also surprise when he mentioned my sister's name Annalise. So Im right after all this man is should be Simond Lahmbert. But then I wasn't able to think enough when I saw that Drake was already lying on the floor with a bursted lips. Then Simond was not done yet he landed again another blow to Drake that's when some people tried to stopped them. After that Simond rushingly went out ,then Diana pulled me away too and we went out of the hall together with some visitors. Everybody was in shocked of what happened. This will really be the news of the century here at St. Lousill.
" One down 8 to go." I said to Diana while we got into her car.
"I WILL REVENGE MY SISTER ANNALISE. I WILL."

"I know dad" I sounded pissed. I'm actually at the phone right now with my dad. It's been a while since we had a proper talk. And even if we have, it's either we're arguing at something or trying to reprimand me with the same thing he's been telling me to do since I graduated college and that is to learn how to manage the company he owns. Just like what's happening right now.
" I've been calling you a thousands of times young lady and your Aunt always tells me that your not in the house, what have you been doing?I hope your not doing some trouble out there!" My dad really knows me, he knows if I've been mischievous or doing some crazy stuffs again. I've been to a lot of trouble way back in my highschool and college days, so my dad is not new to it.
"Sam, you have to go back here in Germany and finish your masters. Your 27, people with your age, should have a life of their own, building their careers and even some has families already. You know what I'm saying? Sam if you don't want to manage the business,well that's fine but at least go back here and finish your masters and look for a husband that will continue the family's business." I've been hearing these same lines from my dad and for 3 years already. He thinks I'm not serious and is just having a good time.
" Sam,are you still there?Are you listening." He asked when he felt like I wasn't responding at all.
" Yeah, I'm still here and I hear you." I replied. I let out a heavy sigh before I continued.
" Dad I have a life and, I know your just worried about me, about my future. But you see, there are things that I'm not ready yet- for now, but let me just think of it first. And I don't care if I'll be the last single woman standing in this world without a family or a husband, having men around are just some pain in the ass, well of course except you and uncle Reynolds." I know that he's just thinking about the future of the business because I'm his only child so of course I'll get to manage the company after him. " I never said that I wont accept it but for the meantime let me just finish what I came here for, before I'll go back there in Germany. And I promise I'll finish my masters there and I would take over the company too." Yes I have already thought about it. After I get my plans done, I will permanently go back and stay there in Germany. Then I heard a slight pause from my dad. I bet he didn't imagine I had decided that already.
" Ok fine, I'll let you stay there but in one condition you have to get married at the end of this year." My mouth widen as I heard what my dad said.
" What??" I blurted out loudly.
" Wait -Let me finish , get married at the end of the year or go back here by next month." I can't believe what o just heard from him, why can't he just let me decide if my own. A month?that isn't enough to execute my plans.
" Are you forcing me to get married dad? I thought you just want me to manage the business, and as I've said I'm ok with it already. I'll manage the company just let me stay here for now but that marriage thing ,,,please don't force me cause you know I would rather get stuck in a cave for a thousand years than to marry someone just because you want me to do it." I don't want to get married, that's the least thing I would think in my entire single life.
"If you don't want, then go back here at once." I just don't understand my dad, why is he forcing me with this all of a sudden. Is he keeping something from me?
" Dad tell me honestly, are you keeping something from me?" I really find it suspicious.
" Nothing. I just want you to straighten your life. You know I'm getting older too, I just want to secure a good future for you, that's it my decision is final. Make your choice, I have to go Sam, I have a meeting at 3.00 ,bye, I love you Sam." Then he hang up the phone. I really can't believe him. I'm still dumbfounded by what he just told me. What should I do, I can't go back yet neither get married at the end of the year. Gosh this worrying is killing me.

" So what's your plan?" Diana asked after taking a bite on her blueberry muffins. We're at one of the Cafe's here at St. Lousill.
" Should I be the one asking you that instead, I called you here so that you could help me think of a solution to my problem." I said with a bitchy tone, I'm sitting right in front of her, crosslegged calmly taking a sip on my brewed coffee. "
" You know what your problem is just so easy. If your dad wanted you to get married ,then give it to him. All you have to do is look for a guy who wants to marry you." Diana said mumbling while her mouth was full of the muffins she was eating.
" Can you please finish that first " I pointed at her mouth while looking at her with disgust. Then she swallowed it all.
" What I'm saying is you could hire someone to make your dad believe that you have someone you like here and your planning to get marry at the end of the year." I have already thought about that idea too.
" I know a lot of guys would definitely die to be your boyfriend. So finding one won't be so hard after all." She added.
" My dad knows me, he won't believe it if I just took and hire some random guys out there. " I told her.
" Then tell me what are your boyfriend-material-qualifications?." Well I had a lot of boyfriends in the past mostly are business men and some are famous models but we only lasted for a month or two. Honestly I don't really treat them as boyfriends, I would like to think them more as a puppet, a toy or maybe a poon for things I wanted to get.
" Do you like guys who are awesomely handsome, with a freakin tempting Adonis body that even older hags would kill to bed him ? Oh..and is also damn rich?" Diana just asked.
" Do you think you could find someone like that in here? Ever since I came here I never saw --" I was cut talking when He passed right in front of us. Damn even his smell is so manly. I can't resist not to stare at him. I think all the ladies inside that cafe including some men, were snatched by this man. It was Simond, I got back to my senses when he took a glimpse to look at me. I didn't expect he would look at me so I immediately turned to look on the other side. Damn I really hate it, I get off guard suddenly, everytime our eyes met.
He walked straight pass into us and went to the bar counter and ordered some kind of a drink.
" There, you have the answer to your problem." Diana pointed at Simond who is now busy talking to a man who just came in too. " Make him like you. It's like hitting two birds with one stone" Diana continued
Diana has a point, all I have to do is make him fall for me, not only I could make my revenge easily but also he's the perfect guy for my dad to believe I have a boyfriend to marry at the end of this year.
" But I have to warn you that guy is tougher and harder than you think. You'll get a hard time trying to get him close to you. No other girls has ever approached him easily ,well expect Annalise." Diana said.
After Diana said that, I got a thought of what was Simond and Annalise real relationship was.
" Don't worry I have never had a thing I haven't got yet. This Simond is as small and as fragile as a bubble to me."
Then I was surprise when he turned back and looked at me again with the same emotionless look upon his handsomely face.
But this time I didn't turned the other side or tried to avoid his gaze, I gave him a very seductive bitchy smile that no guys have resisted. I'm f*cking serious about getting you Simond. So this time no backing down.

" Aunt Elsie " I called her, we're all sitting in the table having dinner with my aunt and uncle.
" Yes dear?" She replied.
" Did Annalise had a boyfriend here?" I just asked out of know where. I guess they're both surprised I asked that since I saw them glancing at each other before they answered me.
" Why do you ask?" Aunt Elsie asked back.
" Nothing I just wanted to know if what was she's been up to while she stayed here." I've been dying to ask them about Annalise, since I came here they never told me anything about what her and that's too suspicious.
" You know your Aunt Elsie doesn't want to talk about it. " Uncle Raynold said while he took my aunt's hand and hold it tight.
" Why? Why don't you want to talk about her. Technically she's part of the family, but you never wanted to talk about her,is there something you've been hiding from me?" I raised my voice a little, I'm just pissed that Everytime I kept on asking them all they do is avoiding my questions or telling it's not good to talk about the dead cause it's a bad omen. Which I think is a total crap.
" Don't raise your voice Samantha, and please stop asking questions. " Uncle said.
" that's Bullsh*t , I do respect the both of you but please may I remind you that I'm not a kid anymore and don't give me those crappy reasons, why do you keep on avoiding Everytime we talk about her? Is there something you've been hiding? Are you also responsible for her death?!" I totally lose my control I know I should've not said that. But all these time I've been trying to keep my patience.
Aunt Elsie burst out in tears after I said that.
" That's enough Samantha, don't you dare accuse us to that girl's death." Uncle Raynold said, I can feel he doesn't like what I said. But don't expect me to appolize just because your mad at me Uncle.
" See, you can't even say her name. Now tell me, why did Annalise committed suicide? What do you know? What exactly is the true reason behind her death!" Yes you heard it right Annalise committed suicide, she took her own life, she was reported missing for a week then one day the police found a body in the river near the boundaries of St. Lousil and it was claimed to be Annalise. The police invistigated the case and no evidences were found that she was murdered or raped at the end they concluded that she may have committed suicide.
" Stop it at once. We didn't do anything Sam believe us." Aunt Elsie said while crying.
" But you know that since the begging we don't like them, Annalise and her mom." She continued.
" Why?" I asked.
" After your dad introduced her to the family and said that he would like to marry Clariza (Annalise' mom) we received a note from an unknown person, telling us that we should trust them. So we decided to make our own invistigation about the both of them. Follow me Sam." I followed my aunt as she led me to her office. She took an old dusty folder that was hidden on the uppermost part of the bookshelves and opened it to me.
" What are these?" I asked curiously as I tried to scanned all the papers.
" We hired a someone to investigate and we found out something bad about them." I looked back at Aunt Elsie who is know sitting on a swivel chair right in front of me, looking so serious.
" We found out that Clariza was not just a vendor in the market when your father met her, she's a con artist. And we found out that she had been married 3 times in the past with different guys and all of them they both lost their wealth and families were ruined." I was shocked by all those revelations. I wasn't able to respond at first after my aunt said that. I was just quietly listening to her, trying to wiegh weather I should believe it or not.
" We tried to stop the wedding and told your dad all about it, but he refused to listen. We know that that woman has been brain washing your dad since the beginning. And here look at this," she handed me a document.
" That's the copy of the proposed will you dad made, It says their that 80 percent of his weath including the company will go to Annalise and 20 percent will go to you." I can't believe it, if Annalise didn't die she would have got all the family's wealth. How could this happened and how could dad decided about this. I took the document with me and I turned hurridly back to me room. I could hear my aunt calling me back but I didn't turned back I was so overwhelmed by all of those things I just heard. Making me think if having my revenge is really worth it or should I be happy that it all went this way.
