The Billionaire's Wedding Planner

The sound of the alarm clock woke Amelia up rudely. She cursed inwardly and tossed to the other other side of the bed. It rang again, the blaring sound affecting her cerebrum.

"Argh!" She mumbled as she got out of bed lazily to put it off.

She fit her feet into the black room slippers and made her way into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and brought out a big loaf of bread with a jar of netulla. She had slept hungry yesterday out of excitement of being finally free from Ares, the school bully.

Yesterday night was prom, she was finally done with college and most importantly she is free from her tormentor. She hated him with the bones of her bones and with her blood and flesh, she loathes him for making her school days a living hell. Now, no one would bully her for being a plus size, no one will call her ugly, no one will embarrass her during recess...

Amelia was really glad.

"Amelia, you eat too much! I don't see any of your usefulness in this house, all you do is to eat and eat and eat, I wonder if you haven't eaten your brain together with the foods" Mrs Theodore yelled, on seeing her first daughter in the kitchen.

"But mum, I didn't eat yesterday before going to bed....."

"Will you die if you don't eat?" Mrs Theodore blew hot and cold. Amelia didn't flinch, she was used to the lashes and cold words from her own mother. While her sister, Emily was her mother's beloved and honey, Amelia is just a salt in her mother's eyes.

"Don't you look at yourself in the mirror each time you wake? I always wonder if you are truly my daughter! I mean look at you..."

"You can't even attract a man, even a magnet is more attractive than you. You're too fat, your belly is too big, you don't even have a nice shape, and you know nothing asides making good grades!" Mrs Theodore lashed out.

Amelia pressed the loaf of bread together and slowly took it to her mouth. She was used to it, she's used to people spelling out her insecurities to her.

"And you're still eating!" Mrs Theodore shouted, she picked the nearest stick in and attempt to hit her.

"I didn't create myself!" Amelia mumbled with a cracking voice.

"Hmm" Mrs Theodore sighed.

"Look at you, you don't even have male friends. No guy has ever bought gift for you, no visits from friends..."

"Irene visits me" Amelia uttered lowly.

"I pity you" her mother scoffed and walked out.

Amelia burst into fresh tears the moment her mother was out of sight. She was right, she will never get a boyfriend. She is eighteen and still very single while girls of her age already have boyfriends from age fifteen.

Amelia ate up in sadness.

Her ringing phone jots her out of the sad thought. Her deep almond eyes glittered as she saw the caller. It was Irene. The only true friend she had as a child. Irene was always there for her.

"Hi, baby" Amelia said, a small smile playing on her lip.

"I'm fine, I hope you're getting ready?" Irene asked. Just like Amelia, Irene also has a dream of being a wedding planner expert. They have been preparing for Salma Culinary school examination for over a year and the form was out for purchase today. They had planned to go get the form together, even though they only have tiny hope of being selected for the scholarship program.

The school would only be picking fifty students out of over three hundred applicants.

"I just woke up but I will be ready in a jifty" Amelia replied.

"Alright, we will meet at our usual spot" Irene said.

"Bye, baby" Amelia said and dropped the call.

She cleared where she ate and hurried into the bathroom to have her bath. Minutes dragged by and she was finally ready.

She had on a black jean and a yellow top. She sighed on seeing her reflection.

"No guy will settle for such a fat pig" Ares words played in her ears.

She waved it off and hurried out to meet Irene.

Unlike her, Irene looked so flawless in the floral long gown she wore. While irene hair was black and scanty to fit her heart shaped face, Amelia has a mane of red hair which was very full, she hated her hair and everything about herself.

"You're really beautiful today" Amelia commented, with an admirable eyes.

"Thank you. Amelia, we need to hurry, I can see the long cue already" Irene replied in a rush.

"Alright" Amelia replied and they hurried to join the cue.

"Did you hear the news about Ares?" Irene asked.

Amelia's heart skipped a beat, her stomach churned at the mention of the name that caused her pains for years.

"I don't know" she replied, fear visible in her eyes. Ares is the total definition of a handsome beast. All the girls picked interest in him and were always ready to get a first hand news about his life but Amelia's case was the reverse. She isn't intrigued about his life at all.

"I heard he is out of the states, he is now a CEO in the Weston's investments...I wonder how he would look in suites" irene imagined, dreamingly.

"Petty" Amelia hissed.

"Well the good thing is that we are never going to meet again, and if we do...I will give back to him in spades the humiliation he caused me" Amelia added.

"Come on, Amelia. I'm not also happy he bullied you but this guy is everyone's dream guy"

"Well yours, not mine" Amelia stated, matter of fact.

"Amelia Theodore" Amelia heard her name and walked forward.

"Present ma'am" she answered and stretched her hand to collect her form.

The woman smiled at her. "You're soo cute" the woman uttered.

Amelia blinked her lashes, the woman must be mocking her for sure.

"You look just like my daughter" the woman said.

"And you are happy about it?" Amelia asked.

"Yes, I love chubby girls" the woman replied.

"Come on, follow me." The woman ordered.

Irene is very curious why this woman is so interested in her fat friend. She couldn't go with her, which made her less happy.

Amelia didn't understand what was going on, but who was this woman?

Dear readers,

Please support my book, endeavor to drop a comment after ever read.

Thanks, I love you all.

Amelia followed the unknown woman who was handling forms to the applicants. She wondered where the woman was taking her too.

"You're also here for the examination form right?" The woman asked. Amelia blinked, wondering why the woman asked her when she knew it already.

"Yes" she replied simply.

"Alright, wishing you all the best. I would really be happy to see you among the students that would be admitted. Salma is admitting a total of two hundred people out of over three thousands people that applied, students who perform excellently would be place on scholarship " Mrs Candice uttered.

Amelia smiled. "Thank you so much ma'am, I will try my best. I've always wanted to be a wedding planner expert, I love being in charge of parties and me being in the kitchen is going to make me be a step closer to my dream" she replied.

"Alright, here is your form. You can always call me if you need any help" Mrs Candice was kind.

Amelia found it difficult to believe that the woman was kind to her. Reason was because she is not so used to people caring for her.

They parted with a smile.

"Where were you?" Irene asked curiously, on seeing Amelia stepping out of the woman's office.

"I went to get my form " Amelia squealed, showing Irene the form.

"Why is it different from mine?" Irene furrowed her brows and collected the form from her.

"How is it different?" Amelia raised her brows.

"See the prints, mine is yellow, yours is pink" Irene pointed out.

"It's all the same thing, maybe they made the forms in different colours, you know" Amelia suggested.

"I don't think so, I've not seen anyone with pink print. It's either yellow or blue" Irene said, truthfully.

"What were you doing in the office?" Irene asked.

"Nothing, just to collect the form" Amelia answered. She noticed Irene's eyes on her form which was different from hers.

Wanting to always please her only friend, Amelia gave out her form for an exchange and Irene gladly exchanged.

------------

It was a long day for Amelia.

She returned home and met her little sister trying out new dresses. Emily looked stunning in each of the dresses. She could pass by for a queen without even trying.

Amelia stood in a corner, admiring her sister. She always get gifts from her admirers and their mom won't stop buying dresses for Emily. Amelia had to work two jobs per day to be able to buy herself clothes and other basic things she needs as a lady.

Her mom was never there for her but is always there for Emily. When their Dad was alive, he was he everything. When their father was with them, Amelia never lack a thing.

"The red dress is more beautiful, Emily " Amelia clasped her hand together.

"Yeah, as it should. I'm going on a date in the next one hour, I gotta hurry" Emily replied.

"You can use the black silhouette, it would match perfectly" Amelia suggested.

"Thank you...." Emily said, flatly. Her relationship with Amelia wasn't cordial at all. She sees Amelia as just a random person. In some cases, she denies of being Amelia's sister but that didn't make Amelia to stop showing concern for her only sister.

"Emily....." Amelia pouted.

Emily swielved her head and made a why are you calling me look.

"Can I do your make over.....please?" Amelia pleaded.

"Why?" Emily asked in a cynical manner.

"I'm sorry but Theo has ordered a professional stylist to come help me with it. Can I ignore you some other time? I'm busy right now"Emily drew a taut and with that, she walked out on her sister.

"Alright" Amelia clasped her hand tightly and got ready for her evening shift at the coffee shop that is close to her house.

---------

It wasn't as stressful as the day before because there were no much customers today. She closed early and return home to prepare dinner. While Amelia does all the work at home, Emily does nothing.

"Welcome, Mom" Amelia greeted, while handling the dishes.

"Are you making french onion soup?" Mrs Theodore asked, instead of responding to her greeting.

"Yes Mom" Amelia replied.

"Make it more, you know it's your sister's favorite" Mrs Theodore said.

"Alright, I will do" Amelia replied gladly. She never gets tired of being in the kitchen. If she had the chance, she would be there from morning till night.

She retired to her room after she was done with the kitchen duties. She did her night skin care routine and lay in her bed, already dressed in her night wear.

"You will never get a guy in your life, you will be alone for the rest of your life...ugly duckling, fat pig" Ares words taunted Amelia in sleep.

She sprag up and hugged her pillow tightly but his face kept on appearing in her memory.

His beautiful greeny blue eyes which always bore into her brown eyes in a mean manner. Amelia could swear that she has never seen hate as raw as the way Ares looks at her. He always looked like he wants to devour her. His hairs was black and always spiky.

He is handsome, she won't deny that. But he is a handsome beast!

Amelia placed her hands on her ears and tried to block her thoughts.

"Ares, I hate you!!" She shouted when she couldn't stop thinking of the mean words he said to her.

She cried herself to sleep and couldn't even read for her upcoming examination.

----------------------

He swam around in the pool like a merman, his skin looking so ethereal in the bluish pool. He had his head dipped under the water, holding his breath for a few moments before breaking the surface gasping for air. He burst out laughing in breathless excitement.

His name is Ares Weston, the one and only heir of the Weston's.

He gets things within the snap of his fingers, servants are always at his beck to call, he is a guy who doesn't touch what has fallen on the ground. He lacks absolutely nothing and this made him have a very annoying personality.

He has good looks that makes ladies flock around him like flies, asides that, he is the youngest billionaire from NY, everyone always want to associate with him.

He came out of the pool dazzling in all ramifications of handsomeness. A maid handed him his glass of wine.

He took it from the tray and took just a sip. His personal assistant, Ezra was ready to tell him his schedule for the day but he dismissed her.

"Ezra, I will call you when I need you" he had said, calmly.

"Alright" Ezra smiled and walked out. She was hired by Mr Weston to take a close look at his only son and to make sure he knows how things work in the business community.

Ares dropped his glass of wine and picked his phone. He dialed Santos number. Santos was his partner in crime in high school.

"Hey, buddy" Santos said, cheerfully.

"I miss you....I hope you return back to New York soon" Santos said, in a hopeful manner.

"I don't know how long it will take, it might take three to four years, Santos" Ares replied. He took in his bottom lip.

"How is fat pig?" He asked, he rolled his eyeballs.

"I'm guessing she would be finally happy to be free from you hahaha" Santos laughed.

"Answer my question..." Ares demanded.

"Seriously, Ares! Alright, I heard she wants to attend a Culinary school, it suits her right?" Santos asked.

Ares smiled. "Culinary school?" He said, cynically.

"It suits her" Ares added.

"Are you sure?" Santos asked.

Ares dropped the call and strolled to his wardrobe in the room.

He opened one of his bags and a short book fell. He picked the book and wanted to throw it straight away in the trash because he is never the bookworm type but on a second thought, he opened the front page.

"Amelia Theodore's daily life" was customized on the front page.

Ares scratched his head, wondering how he got the book with him.

He was always amused by everything about this fat girl, bullying her, torturing her, including peeking at her diary.

Dear readers, please endeavor to drop a comment after every read🥰

Also please click on the love sign at the top of the book details to add my book to your library so that you can continue to get an update..

Thank you so much for reading my book,

Next update will come so soon.

Ares turned to the next page of the book.

" I am what many people describe as not so- goodlooking. As a child, I was being teased of being a plus size. Even my high school life was a mess. My Mr Monster is always there to always spell out my insecurities to me!"

"ARES!"

"I hate him with all the bones in my body! How I wish karma would slap him twice for me before I do..."

Ares smiled wickedly on reading the first page.

"Well, this is going to keep me company for a while" he smirked and kept the little book in his wardrobe. He got dresses in his night wear and slipped his feet into another pair of room slippers. He grabbed his pad and logged into his Instagram account..

As usual, his pictures got lots of girls tripping on Instagram, well except Amelia.

"Hi cutie, I miss you so much" he saw Reilly text.

"As you should" he replied her text instantly..

"Don't you miss me?" She texted.

"Why should I? And as per what... I spelt it out to you that there would be no string attached. We did what we did and we both enjoyed each other." He texts back.

"I know" she replied.

"But didn't you miss those times we spend together? You don't miss anything?" She asks.

Ares smirked before replying. "There's nothing of such!" He doesn't care if his words were hurting her. Reily is his mother's goddaughter, its more or less like she is the daughter of her mother's best friend, the Erin's.

"Alright. Let's not talk about that." Reily replied in defeat.

"I hope to see you successful in the next three to four years, by then, I'm sure you would understand what my feelings are to you. Always remember that I will always be here to cheer you up. I understand that I can't be your first priority for now. Your first priority are your goals, your career and your future. Keep going, I will be here to cheer you up"

Ares smirked at her message. He logged out immediately and wondered what Riley was thinking. They are just friends. Friends with benefits, but she always want more.

Ares ran his fingers into his hairs.

A knock came on his door.

"Ezra???" He asked.

"Yes sir" Ezra answered.

"Come in" he said.

---------------------

Amelia woke up in the middle of the night. She could remember she slept with the lights on but now that she's up, she is in darkness.

She turned on her phone which she kept on her bed stand.

The power supply was out and it made Amelia worried. She woke up to read, but there isn't light. She got out of the bed, going to get the lamp in the sitting room.

"Wow, this is so nice!" She heard her mother gasping.

"I like these set of makeup, its nice." That was Emily's voice.

Amelia watched in amazement from the stairs

The foundation Emily had at hand is, by far, the best foundation Amelia have found for skin combination . The formula blends effortlessly, goes on smooth but dewy, and stays in place all day, even if one yikes. It can still be worn multiple days in a row without the cream causing breakouts, plus the moisturizing hyaluronic acid in the formula means even dry patches will be happy.

The eye line was a product from Lady Gaga, a famous makeup kit producer. She designed one of the best liquid eye liners in the market and this is the only liner that Amelia have found that doesn't sputter as the pen glides along. The fantastic cream blush from Tower 28 comes in a range of sumptuous pinks, reds, and purples.

Amelia watched in amazement. She has had a lot about these skin products but what she found hard to believe is that she would be seeing them soon.

When it comes to beauty, L'Oreal is a global leader. The French company offers women everywhere luxury and superior quality cosmetics at affordable prices. Whether you need foundation, eyeliner, lipstick, or any other makeup product, you'll never be disappointed with L'Oreal.

Mrs Theodore cleared her throat on seeing Amelia.

"Isn't it time for you to go to bed?" She questioned her, as if her presence infuriates her.

"I....I....." Amelia opened her mouth to say something but her words were superfluous. She was too stunned to see L'Oreal products. She forgot the main reason she came to the sitting room.

"I just came to check if Emily is back" she said, when she couldn't find her words.

"As you can see, she is back, Miss fatty" Mrs Theodore mocked.

Amelia scratched her head and returned back to her room. She sat on her bed and turn on her phone torch.

She sighed and started studying for her upcoming exams.

"I'm just going to be an ordinary wedding planner in the end, isn't my life great! Nothing is just so special about me. I'm fat, my hair is not pretty, I don't have a male friend not to talk of a boyfriend. I only have Irene. Gid please have mercy on my life!" She breathed out.

She studied for some long and slept off on her reading chair.

-------------

"Today was really a bad day for me! Ares made sure of that by putting glue on my seat in class. Innocent me just went to sit on it. When I couldn't stand, they all started laughing at me, throwing paper balls at me and spelling out my insecurities to me as usual.....it could have been done to me on anothsd day but why the day i was on my period! I literally nursed two pain at once.... "

"Firstly, the hurt that came from my cramps and the second was the hurt from humiliation. I couldn't leave the class till they all left for home, and when I tried standing, my skirt tore.. Blood from my menstruation smeering the chair badly! It was indeed the worst day of my life! ARES is my pain, my suffering....."

Ares closed the not immediately. He remembered he did all that to her, it was just for fun...

"You're a beast, an ugly one!" He couldn't help laughing at the thought of what Amelia had called at him.

He hadn't found anyone who could entertain him more than her. This is very different from physical pleasure.
