The wedding must be stopped

Chapter 52 The wedding must be stopped! I sat in the perfectly laid bed, my thoughts drifted away from the room. I have a lot on my mind and it was difficult which side to take. Even though I know my husband has been wanting to break Royce all this while and bring him to his feet,the unexpected turn of events that happened with Britney still made me uncomfortable. I haven't been able to forget the horrible look on her face as she groaned in pain and begged that her baby be saved. I held my empty stomach, trying to figure how she'd be feeling right now. Even though,I haven't been with a child before,I can imagine how sad and devastated Britney would feel. A part of me knew I had contributed to the events too. I had approached Britney intentionally and made her question her husband's loyalty to their marriage. Only that I didn't know that both Myra and Royce were seeing each other then. I watched my husband,Danni ended the call and walked in. Even though I had a useful information and idea to tell him ,I still felt bad talking about another woman's problem. It simply felt wrong. 'What's this rainbow of emotions I see all over your face? One minute it feels like you want to share something juicy,the next second, it feels like you are holding yourself back from saying what you have in your mind." He queried. 'I'm I that readable?" I asked, giving him a weak smile. He got beside me and pulled me closer. I rested my head on his shoulders,inhaled his sweet smell and sighed. I imagined how I'd have felt if Danni was to ask for divorce if I was pregnant with his child. I guess everyone has his or her problem. Britney's own was trusting a strange woman and letting the woman take her space while I had to deal with a cheating husband like Danni. ‘At least he didn't bring any of the woman home, you've not even met any of them,' a voice said in my head 'Selena?" I heard from afar and jolted back in surprise,Danni was already staring at me with worry in his eyes. 'Are you okay?" In inquired 'Britney lost her baby today," I finally said and sighed again. I should probably be rejoicing that Royce was coming apart but I couldn't. 'She was pregnant with Royce's child?" He asked with surprise and I nodded. No one probably knew about the baby because Britney had a lot to deal with since the intake of the child. If all had been going well, she'd have announced it and flaunted around to anyone who cared to listen. 'Yes. She was pregnant" 'That's totally unexpected, is that you feel down?" he asked and I confirmed his suspicions 'Yes, I feel sorry for her but that's not even the most interesting thing right now. Royce is moving up the wedding preparations with Myra. It's going to happen in about a week a so" I added. 'The calculative bastard," he said. 'He's moving things up in order to seal his relationship with Myra, especially with the way the media hasn't stopped talking about them for a while. I can feel his desperacy, as if he has this huge plan he's trying to execute." 'If he has a plan, isn't it our business to make sure it doesn't pan out?" I asked. 'Of course but there's no way we can stop the wedding. Don't forget that the moment the two tie the knot,it would be difficult to pull them apart. In my opinion, Royce is trying to lay his hand on Myra's shares at Jay Automobiles. And once that happens, Royce would become unstoppable. He'll have all the money he needs to fund the drug business," 'I know of a way we can stop the wedding, " I said. 'I have something on Myra that can be used.' 'What might that be?" He asked. 'You know how Myra has been unstoppable and untouchable for a while? I thought about it and saw that we could use her family. We can get to her through her family. I heard her aunt has been mentally unstable due to the death of her daughter for a while. It makes her go frenzy whenever she sees any lady of the same age as her late daughter. 'How will that change anything? It has nothing to do with either of them." He asked in confusion. 'We could bring her around on the wedding day to disrupt the wedding. It wouldn't really change everything but it could put the wedding off for a while. We could also speak to some of our media friends to craft a scandal from a scene. That should buy you enough time to get across to Jayden-the ghost right? We know have the exact money he wanted then, don't we?" 'Jayden has been off the track for sometime now, it's been difficult to get across to him. However, it would but me time like you said. What would I do without you my dear Selena?" He asked and I laughed. I took my phone from beside me and stood up. 'I should speak to Britney and share the idea with her. She's hurting right now and it would be the right time" ************************ THE NEXT DAY I walked into the VIP that Britney was and almost wished I hadn't. The thick smell of antiseptic hit my nose, making the worms in my storm groan in anger. Her arm was draped over her head as if she had been lost in thought. She didn't know that I had entered the room until I coughed. She removed her hand and looked towards my reflection without saying anything. She returned to laying there like a statue. 'You look awful," I said as I sat down in the chair beside her bed. 'You don't expect me to look amazing after losing my husband and child to a seductress." She replied, her voice thick with sorrow 'Are you just going to let this slide?" I asked. It was time to warm her up and get her ready. When I had called her the previous day, she didn't pick, I figured she would be sleeping then. 'What more do you think I can do? It's over Selena. Myra has taken everything from me. Even if I have something in mind, there's little I can do laying on the sick bed." 'What if there's something you can do?" I asked. 'Something that would stop the wedding and allow you to think about the next course of action." 'Wedding? What do you mean?" She asked, her interest piqued. 'Royce is going to make himself and Myra official in a week's time. In a week's time Britney and everyone would forget about you as if you never existed." I pushed harder. 'How can he be so cruel and not even bothered that I just lost his first child ever! Doesn't this mean that I no longer have anything and that I'm powerless?" She asked. 'Yes," I said in a bit to add to her agony. I watched her clench her teeth and hands in anger and I smirked victoriously. 'I want to destroy Myra so that she'll no longer be fit for society. I want her to feel excruciating pain like I did." 'I have someone I can bring to the wedding to stop everything…if you want though, " I said, knowing fully that she'll accept immediately. She said nothing for a while as she weighed her options. 'So, are you in?" I asked, minutes later and she nodded slowly. 'If it's to hurt Myra,then I'm in," she said. 'Of course, I'll get right to it" I said with satisfaction written all over my face.
