CHAPTER 52

BLAIKE IVERSON'S POINT OF VIEW "Congratulations!" "Congrats! Rod, " "We have our new boss!" I heard a lot of comments whispering throughout the four corners of the room. I can see the excitement and happiness on their faces because they just had heard that Rod was gonna replace me as a leader. But at the same time,  they are also sad, because I am leaving the organization. We treated each other like brothers like we are connected by blood. Even we all have different positions in the organization. It was not stopped us from treating each other like brothers and family. I just smiled while looking at them... We chatted until we finished the day, and there is also some wine and food to celebrate. It is my last day here,  so I wanted it to be memorable. ROD AZRAEL'S POINT OF VIEW The celebration ended at 7:00 P.M in the night. It was already 9:00 P.M. I just finished setting up the decoration in the back garden of the mansion. I am sure that Blaike is already asleep since he would go to her lover's wedding tomorrow. And in the afternoon his father was gonna be released from jail. After that at night,  they would go there next destination. I prepared this alone since I don't want to interrupt Blaike. Because there is a big day he needed to assist tomorrow. "Ayeisha!" I called her as soon as I saw her. Ayeisha wears a red sexy lingerie dress. That was good for the whole place. Since I prepared a romantic dinner for the both of us. The petals were laid on the ground,  as Ayeisha stepped on them. Candles were lit up everywhere, some light was formed and kept flickering into different colors. I also prepared some wine and food to make it more romantic. "You looked good!" I complimented her. I stared at her,  as I adored her glamorous looked. She was so stunning every day by day. But tonight,  was different,  she was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my entire life. She looked good in her red sexy dress. The way her whole body shapes on it. The red silk was good to be a partner on her flawless skin. Her chest almost pups out from her lingerie dress. The way her hair became curls that suit her well. Her lips were as red as the rose. Her dark black eyes were dark as the night. Her pointed nose,  long eyelashes,  everything on her was perfect. I can feel butterflies in my stomach... I can not believe that this day would come. I could finally have a kind of day with her. How I wish I could spend all my day with her,  like this. I I would make sure that this night would be unforgettable. "Rod!" she softly called my name in her sweet velvet voice. I pulled the promise ring into my pocket and get down on my knees. As the fireworks light up in the skies they say "Would you be my girlfriend,  Ayeisha?". "Would you be my girlfriend,  Ayeisha?" I asked her as I opened the box of the ring. Without another thought,  she nodded,  while tears started streaming down her cheeks. "Yes!" She happily answered. I immediately put the ring on her finger. I happily got up on my knee and hugged her tightly. She hugged me back. The cold wind passes on my bare skin. As the fireworks light up in the skies. I just closed my eyes and enjoyed the warmth of her hug. BLAIKE IVERSON'S POINT OF VIEW I got up early in the morning. Amelia was getting married at exactly 10:00 A.M. in the church. My father would also be released earlier than I expected. He would be released at exactly 8:00 A.M. So here I am waiting anxiously outside of the prison for my father. I am gonna dress up later after I pick up my Dad and entrust him to one of my men. I would instruct them to let them bring my Dad,  to the place where I planned to spend the rest of my life. I already planned everything for my father once he came out of jail. I wanted him to have a comfortable life,  once he come out of jail. And that is what I am gonna do. I am just staring in front of the prison as I waited for my father to come out. After a couple of minutes of waiting, I finally saw him. I immediately buzzed my car so he could see where my car had been parked. "Father!" I called him as soon as he entered the car. "How are you, my son?" He immediately asked me while closing the door of my car. I just smiled at my dad and started the car engine. "I am okay,  Dad!" I answered and smiled at him. I've been patiently waiting for three years for my father to come out from jail. And now it was all coming true. My father still didn't know that my mother was still alive. I didn't inform him until now. And I wanted it to be a surprise once we lived in our new house. Everything would be perfect,  as I planned. Our family would be great and happy again. Because I can finally be with my mother and father. This would be the happiest reunion that we could ever have. "Three years had been so long. There are a lot of things that we should catch up on. I could not wait to spend a day with my only child. A lot of things changed as I was inside of the prison for a long time, " Dad started chatting. I just focused on driving while listening to him. "I know,  Dad!" I answered. "So where are we gonna off to?" Dad asked me. "I would be sending you to our new house. Someone would escort you to go there. And I would follow, " I stated. "Won't you come with me?" He asked. "I would just finish some important things. Then I would follow you there in two days, " I replied. "Okay!" Dad replied. After that the whole destination is quiet. I just focused on the road because I am driving. And my Dad fell asleep on the whole ride after we stopped talking. AMELIA RIVERA'S POINT OF VIEW I closed my eyes and took a  deep breath and sighed... "It was now the time..." As soon as the door of the church opened. I walked slowly towards the altar. People were staring at me,  admiring the gown I was wearing and especially my looks. A lot of people came to my wedding. There is a lot of businessman and woman in here. I invited all of my employees. My brother and his fiancee also attend because they are our best man and maid of honor. All of Skyie friends are in here too. Especially,  Renzo's brother and mother. Also my business partners,  and a lot more people. I didn't know how many,  I invited and come to my wedding. But I was finding one person that I wanted to see at my wedding. My eyes were searching from corner to corner of the church. I looked everywhere as I slowly walked down the aisle. But as I finally reached the altar,  I failed to see him. So I stopped myself from wasting my time finding the person who already let me go. Starting today,  I would forget Blaike. And started to learn loving Renzo. "Today we are all gathered in here to witness the wedding of Miss Amelia Rivera and Mr. Renzo Smith, " Father said. I just started at Renzo the whole time. He was smiling at me,  he seems so happy that this day comes. I know that in the first place he had some feelings for me. And I felt terrible for not loving him for the past three years. I just can't help myself from loving Blaike. Blaike had everything that I could not find on Renzo. But today,  I am getting married so I should forget about Blaike as well starting today. I just listened to my father until our vows are gonna say. Renzo was the first one to say his vows. He holds the microphone and spoke up. "The first day I laid my eyes on you,  I fell in love with you. It feels like my whole world rotates on you. You were the person that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I was willing to sacrifice everything I had for you,  even my life. My love for you would not gonna be incomparable to any gems and diamonds in this world. I would make sure that you would have everything you wanted. I would treat you like a queen and make sure that you would be happy by my side. In sickness and in health,  I would be with you, " I took a deep breath and sighed... He handed me the microphone and I took it. It was now my turn to say my vows. "You may not be the first person that I loved. But now,  you are the person that I am seeing my future with. I may have flaws and imperfections,  but I would take you to treasure you. You are the person that I didn't want to let go of. I thank God every day because he gave me you,  the person who was willing to understand me in my difficulties. In sickness and in health,  I would always stay by your side," I said as I said my vows. After that, we put the microphone down and father started talking again. "You! Renzo Smith, would you take Amelia Rivera to be your lawful wedded wife?" Father asked Renzo. "Yes!" Renzo answered without any hesitation. "You! Amelia Rivera, would you take Renzo Smith as your lawful wedded husband?"  Father asked me. I didn't speak for a minute. And looking at the crowd,  I glanced one more time. Waiting for a miracle to happen,  that I would see Blaike but he was not there. So I put down all my hope... Starting today I would be moving on and forgetting my feelings for Blaike... And started loving my husband... "I do!" I immediately answered before the crowd whispering anything and making it an issue. BLAIKE IVERSON'S POINT OF VIEW I was just sitting at the back. Staring and looking at Amelia and Kenzo,  listening to the heirs. It broke my heart,  to see the person I loved marrying someone else. But I could not do anything about it and be happy for them. "You! Renzo Smith, would you take Amelia Rivera to be your lawful wedded wife?" Father asked Renzo. "Yes!" Renzo answered without any hesitation. "You! Amelia Rivera, would you take Renzo Smith as your lawful wedded husband?"  Father asked Amelia. Amelia didn't speak for a minute. And looking at the crowd,  she glanced one more time. She was like finding someone in the crowd. "I do!" She immediately answered before the crowd whispering anything and making it an issue. "I pronounced you husband and wife!" Father announced. After that, they both kiss on the lips. And the whole guest cheered for the newly wedded couple. I smiled one more time before leaving the church. Warm tears streamed down my eyes. I immediately wipe it down. I looked back one last time and said in a sad tone. "Congratulations! Amelia and Renzo, " EPILOGUE BLAIKE IVERSON'S POINT OF VIEW I stared at the photo that I was holding.  Amelia and Renzo were in the picture,  it was one of their wedding photos. "You have to marry the person I trust to watch over you, when I saw you walking down the aisle,  my heart shattered into a million pieces. I don't know how long I could keep this up but... until we meet again, " I sadly whispered to myself. Warm tears started streaming down my face. My teardrops fall directly on the picture. I closed my eyes and let go of the picture. The picture directly goes by the wave of the wind,  until it goes down in the water,  deep in the ocean. I let the last tear fall from my eyes and wipe it down.
