You May Kiss The Groom

The rain dropped down on the black umbrellas, everyone was in daze ,standing like statues, still filled with disbelief and shock. There was no sign of life left around them as they stared at the gravestone with "Eryna Serene" inscribed on it.

Micah was kneeling beside her grave, clenching on to the freshly poured mud,,The rain poured mercilessly on him, he was soaked wet, his tears were one with the rain, but he didn't care as he had just lost his whole world to the soil underneath his feet.

Walking away from the heartbreak and sorrow we begin a new journey, a journey that doesn't start here, it takes place in a world far far away from this one, With very similar face and very similar destiny. A world where they will write their fate once more.

...............................................................................................

Pearl Airport:

There was a huge crowd, media reporters were jumping over each other trampling over the people just to catch a glimpse of the country's most beloved bachelor!! Or should we say he was the country's most mysterious personality. Nobody knew much about him, only his name was known and sometimes they would get a whiff of his work.

Finally the moment came when from the private jet two men in black walked out followed by a woman with a slim figure walked out, she was wearing a white suit that hugged her body elegantly.

The men in black scanned the surrounding and jestured the reporters to back off. There was a sudden silence amongst the reporters and they obediently made way. When everything was perfect the woman spoke into her ear piece.

"It's all clear," her voice was honey like smooth, and the way they came out of her cherry red lips made them even more attractive.

And then the time came that everybody had been waiting for, the reporter fixed their camera on the door while the mikes were greeting the way. A man stepped out of the jet. He was wearing a double-breasted cream color blazer with a white turtleneck. His side swept black hair shadowed his black sunglasses. His eyes were not visible because of the sunglasses but one could feel the seriousness pour out of his attitude. He lightly fixed his wristwatch and glanced at the crowd with a very displeased gaze. He spoke lightly to the men that followed him.

"They are hurting my eyes-" that was all he said and the men behind him gave him an assuring nod before walking towards the crowd.

"Master, where are you staying?" His secretary that stood at his left asked in an obedient tone.

"Tell Mother I will stay at my own mansion," he said.

"As you wish Master. Your room will be prepared right away!" His secretary replied as he pulled out his phone from his pocket.

"Mr.Usero!! Mr.Usero! Please answer a quick question!! Did you seal the deal with an unknown company? Is there something special about them? You have never done something like that before?" As he walked some reporters ran back at him but his secretary stopped them from approaching him and blocked their path, but their questions were never-ending.

"Do I owe you something?" He asked.

"What?" One of the reporters asked.

"Master means who do you think you are to ask him about his matters, if you want to live peacefully stay out of his business," his secretary gave a detailed answer to the reporters and walked behind his Master.

He got into his Alpine Green Bentley Flying Spur elegantly not baiting an eye to the ladies fainting at the sight of him. As soon as he got into the back seat he took off his glasses revealing a pair of dark black eyes. His eyebrows weren't ceased nor he was angry but his expression couldn't be interpreted in any other way except for annoyance and disdain.

He rested his head on the headrest and closed his eyes, he breathed out tiredly.

He hadn't slept in days, because of the huge burden on his shoulders he rarely got a chance to rest.

They drove through the loud city traffic toward the quiet and peaceful site where one could see lush green grass as far as their eyes permitted. And not far away from the beauty there stood a mansion nothing less than a castle itself. The gates opened for them and the driver drove in. And finally the car stopped at the doorsteps of the mansion.

"Master Micah, We are here," His secretary Ryan spoke lightly when he saw Micah sleeping in the back seat, Micah was a very light sleeper so his eyes flashed open as soon as he heard him speak. A maid ran forwards and opened the door of the car for him, he stepped off the car and went straight inside.

The driver in the car finally took a deep breath.

"Were you holding your breath!?" Ryan asked with a shocked expression.

"It's a habit!" The driver grinned, " Who knows when Master find something annoying and breaks it into half," the driver spoke in a scared manner.

"Pfft- Well you couldn't have said it any better," Ryan chuckled,

Micah walked up the stairs ignoring every single person standing in his way, even the huge screen where he could be seen walking out of a building with a grumpy expression. The maids stared at him until he was out of sight and then looked back at the television screen where the news of Micah sealing the deal with international Diamond Dealers was in full swing. It wasn't the first time he had appeared in the screen, he was always a hot topic,

"It is said that The Chairman of Usero Inc has gotten a hold of a diamond mine. The sources say that~~

"Diamond Mine!! Did you hear that? Our Master-" a maid overreacted when she heard the news.

"Stop shouting!! If the Master hears you, you will be dead!" The other hushed her.

"Oh! How lovely it would be to die with his beautiful hands," Her expression was very perverted when she said that. "I wonder who will be the luck girl to marry our Master," she mumbled.

"I am sure she will be a filthy rich heiress or some princess." She replied.

And just then in a hotel room very far away from the mansion, in another country a girl gave out a very tired groan, she twisted and turned in her bed restlessly.

The rain dropped down on the black umbrellas, everyone was in daze ,standing like statues, still filled with disbelief and shock. There was no sign of life left around them as they stared at the gravestone with "Eryna Serene" inscribed on it.

And just then in a hotel room very far away from the mansion, in another country a girl gave out a very tired groan, she twisted and turned in her bed restlessly.

Buzz-buzz

A phone rang, it was the only thing emitting light in the dark room, The person sleeping got disturbed by the sound so she got up and picked up the phone.

"Hello," It was a sleepy voice, her hoarse voice sounded really seductive as she spoke.

"It's Mommy, were you sleeping?" The woman on the other side had a very comforting voice, the girl in the bed got off the bed and opened the heavy dark curtains and allowed the light to enter the room, that was a complete mess. Everything was out of order, her clothes were scattered all over the room and the bed had half eaten food decorated on it.

"Yes, I just woke up-" she combed her hair with her fingers and sat back on the sofa beside the window.

"Dear-we were thinking," Her mother spoke with caution.

"Mom! Not again! I told you I am not marrying anybody! I can live alone," she was annoyed, because her mother had started this discussion many times.

"But dear, you have become of age,"

"I am 24!!" She stood up from the couch in anger, "Mom why is our every conversation revolving around my marriage? Don't you have anything else to say to me?" She knitted her eyebrows as she walked around the room.

"Okay, okay! I won't say it again! Don't get angry!" Her mother tried to calm her down.

"No I will get angry! How come this is the only thing you say to me when you call? If you want to see someone getting married ask Rose to get married!!" Dela ended the call angrily and threw herself on the couch.

"Huff- this is making me angry!!" She muttered in a frustrated voice. After a while she picked up her cell phone again and saw that she had received twenty messages from her manager. She knitted her eyebrows and opened the messages.

Ava: "I have such big news for you!!!"

Ava: "You have got an invite from Director Theo, He wants you to come to the audition for the FL,"

Ava: "hey!! Answer me! Are you there?"

Ava: "stop ignoring me!!"

Ava: "oh I remember! I booked your tickets for tomorrow afternoon,"

Ava: "Don't forget it!"

Delaphina read the messages and slowly got up off the couch. She walked into the washroom and looked into the mirror. The girl in the mirror had pale white skin and natural pink lips. Her brown hair that reached her lower back were dead straight, though they were a bit rough because she just got up but that didn't make her look any less attractive. Her cheek lightly blushed and her almond shaped Hazel eyes. She was a beauty without comparison.

In the entertainment circle she made herself a name on her own. She was a hard working actress. Though her father Gabriel Dallarose, a well known business tycoon ,had a great influence on her career, she had achieved many heights just because of her great acting skills.

"Hm- a female lead!" She mumbled, and glanced back at her phone screen.

Dela: "Send me the script, i will do it if I like it,"

She replied and placed her phone down, and pulled her hair up into a bun. And went to take a bath.

..................................................................................

A girl walked through a dark alley, it was cold outside so she had wrapped her coat around her body tightly. The crickets were making sharp noises, her quick footsteps were the only other sound one could hear.And from behind her she heard a deep voice that made her jump in fright.

"Hello my love! We met again," it was a hoarse voice, the girl's heart leaped out of her chest and goosebumps appeared on her body, her complexion got pale. Her feet halted and she slowly turned around. There was a dark shadow of a man in a long coat, he was leisurely resting on the wall, and he pulled out a lighter. With a clicking sound the man's face illuminated with the warm light of the fire. He brought it closer to his lips where he was holding a cigarette. It caught fire, when it had burned a small portion of the cigarette, the fire vanished and the only thing left was the ember.

The girl was breathless, she stood like a rock as she stared at the guy's shadow.

"Get lost!- I don't want to see you!! How many times have I said that!!" She shuttered while speaking.

"But what should I do? I can't live without you," he stepped away from the wall and slowly approached the girl, she stepped back slowly.

"Stay back! Don't come closer to me!" She shuttered.

This was really amusing for the guy, he sucked in on his cigarette and threw it on the ground. His leg slowly stepped on it making the last source of light to disappear. The guy blew the smoke out of his mouth. The air had a burning smell in it, the girl quickly covered her nose with her hands.

"Hah! You look so cute when you do that," he guy held her shoulder and lightly stroked her hand on which a frown formed on the girl's face. She removed one of her hands from her nose and grabbed onto the guy's arm. She was surprisingly very strong. She jerked off his hand and stepped away.

"Get lost before I beat you up!" She said.

"Hah! A tiny girl like you will beat a fully grown up man like me? Does that make se-" he had placed his hand on her shoulder again and was slowly making his way towards her neck when he felt a sharp pain between his legs. The girl had kicked him in the ball. She took his hand that was resting on her shoulder and twisted it, it was so painful that he crouched even lower. Everything happened so quickly that the guy didn't have any time to react.

"Agh!! It hurts!! Let go!!"

"Cut!!" The director roared and the girl let go of the guy's hand.

"What are you? An animal?"

The lights of the alley turned on and the two people were finally visible by the lights.

"I am so sorry!! Did I twist it too much!" The girl bit her tongue and sat beside the guy who had a frown on his face. "Let me massage your hand for you!" She said and kneaded his arm, "it's fine, you don't have to do it," he got up slowly leaving the girl. She stared at his fading figure as a bunch of ladies circled around him.

"Rose!! You were so great!" A girl with curly hair rushed over to the girl on the ground.

But Senrose was pouting sadly. "This is the last episode where I appear!! What am I going to do after that?" She looked at her manager Aka Friend.

"Hah! I was waiting for you to say that!" Bliss grinned proudly.

"What do you mean?" Senrose asked.

"I have collected a few scripts of the upcoming dramas, I am sure you will get a role in them," Bliss spoke in excitement, "And look at this," she took out her phone from her pocket and showed her something. "Isn't that my song?" Senrose said. "Yes, exactly!! Look at how many views you have and you already have a fan page!!"

"Fan page?" She asked.

"Yes! Look, you have a grand total of 5 fans!!" Bliss said.

Slap!-

Senrose slapped Bliss's head lightly, "You made me excited for no reason!" She said and got up.

"No! But look!!"

On the screen there was a Silhouette of a girl singing. Rose's face wasn't visible as she sang. There were about fifty comments saying that she should reveal her face. She had a total of fifteen songs that she had sung, it was a hobby but it grew on her and she decided to share it with the world but in the beginning no one was interested in her voice, but slowly her songs were heard and liked by many people.

Senrose walked away with her manager, the crowd was not interested in seeing her off as she was just a stunt double.

She got a little wage, and so she had to do all sorts of odd jobs. But her dream was to become a well known actress.

Rose walked over to her bed, every inch of her body was aching as she had overworked herself in the last few days, Just as she landed on the bed's surface, the phone in her pocket started vibrating, she pulled it out and without looking at the caller's name she swiped the screen and took it to her ear.

"Hello," she said in a tired tone.

"What happened? Are you sick?" A worried voice spoke from the other side,it was a man's voice that was loaded with care and affection.

"Grandpa!!! I missed you!!" Rose sat up quickly and spoke.

"You liar!! If you really missed me, you would have called," he replied.

"I am telling the truth! I missed you so much!! And I have goodews," Rose spoke in excitement.

"What is it?" Mordak asked.

"I am coming back home!!" Rose exclaimed.

"

"You are?!" He was taken aback.

"Yes!! Finally, I am coming back." She said.

You are?!" He was taken aback.

"Yes!! Finally, I am coming back." She said. "I have given an end to everything, and now I can peacefully return." She took a long relieved breath and continued, "I have a flight tomorrow morning, don't tell Miles that I am coming back. I will surprise him once I am back," Rose spoke.

"Finally!! I will see my granddaughter, after 5 long years," he spoke in a longing voice.

................................................................

Senrose had boarded the plane and was looking for her seat.

"May I help you?" The air hostess asked with a polite tone.

"Yes, Please," Senrose replied.

The hostess took her ticket and glanced at her seat number and then pointed at the fifth row.

"There it is, Right beside the old lady in pink," she said.

"Thank you very much," Senrose thanked her and headed towards her seat.

After getting herself comfortable she glanced out the window and clenched her teeth tightly. The emotions she felt were happiness, fear and excitement, it was so overwhelming that she couldn't express herself any other way, so she just clenched her fist and bit her teeth to control her overflowing emotions.

"Here I come," she mumbled.

The old lady beside her was holding an entertainment magazine with the picture of a guy. He wore an elegant three piece suit with black shades resting on the bridge of his nose, revealing his pair of Hazel eyes, he had a flirty smile on his face as he winked at the camera.

Senrose's eyes sparkled as she shrieked, "Noah Hulls!! Why is he so damn handsome!?" Her voice was oddly loud that made the old lady jump in surprise.

"My goodness!! Why are you so loud?" She spoke.

Senrose pouted and looked down in shame, "I am sorry, I just got a bit excited when i saw him," she pointed at Noah Hulls, He one of the most famous actor and a great singer, he was known worldwide for his talents, and he ruled the hearts of maiden's all over the world, and one of those maiden was Senrose, Noah was her first love. He was a source of inspiration for her and one of the many thousand dreams of her was to work along with him on a project. But seeing her current growth rate Senrose could feel that it was an impossible thing to achieve.

The lady closed the magazine and looked at the cover. Her lips slowly curled into a mischievous smile and she spoke.

"You love this guy here?" She asked Senrose.

Rose gave a quick nod, her eyes were sparkling when she did that. "Yes, I do!" She replied.

"Here, have it then," The lady gave her the magazine, Semrose paused for a second as she didn't expect that from the lady, she readily took the magazine and hugged it tightly. "Thank you so much!! Now I can stare at him for the rest of the journey without getting bored," she grinned.

"Young people these days," the lady chuckled as she shook her head sideways.

The lane took off, it was a ten hour flight, Semrose had fallen asleep with the magazine tightly in her arms. She didn't wake up until the lady beside her, patted her shoulder to wake her up.

"Wake up, we have landed." She spoke.

Senrose opened her sleepy eyes and looked out the window, it was dark outside, though the lights on the runway were on, it still couldn't overpower the darkness of the night.

It took Senrose half an hour to get out of the airport. For some reason the airport was packed today, that made it almost impossible to walk out. When finally she got out of the exit, she fixed her hair that was ruined. She then pulled her luggage and waved her hand to stop a cab. A silvery white car stopped and the driver got off. "Let me put it in the trunk," the driver said respectfully. Senrose nodded and let go of the bag, she was still holding into the magazine tightly. She opened the door of the car and sat back in the seat. The driver too took his seat and just when she was about to tell him where she had to go, the door of the car opened and a guy rushed inside, Senrose felt like her heart had left her body as the person who had just entered looked like a thief. He had his face covered with a black mask and was wearing a cap making it impossible to see his eyes.

"Go!! Hurry!!" He spoke in an urgent tone.

"EXCUSE ME!! Who do you think you are to brag in my car as you please?" Senrose spoke in an angry tone as she shrunk back in the seat trying to maintain as much distance as possible.

With those words said Senrose expected an answer but the guy never looked in her direction, he just pulled out a black wallet from his pocket and took out all the money that was inside it.

"I will give you this if you drive away now!" He tried to buy the driver and guess what? He succeeded. Just when the driver saw the money in the guy's hands his eyes sparkled and he stepped in the gas and soon they were driving through the road with lightning speed. Senrose huffed in anger and glanced at the guy who was looking back through the rear glass. He seemed worried.

"Hey! Where are you taking me?" Senrose asked the driver.

"Where do you want to go?" The guy in the mask asked.

"Why should I tell you?!" She replied in a defensive tone, "First you sabotage my ride and then you bribe the driver and now you want to know my house address?- are you a pervert?" Senrose overreacted as she stared at him with suspensos eyes. She was no longer hiding in the corner. Right now she looked like a lioness that had been let out of her cage.

"Miss, I know it was sudden but I really had to do it," he replied in a soft and soothing voice that suddenly Senrose felt like she had done something wrong.

'Huh? Why is he talking like that? Shouldn't he be using a language that gangster's do?' Senrose stared at those eyes that were hidden under his cap. 'Come to think of it, He sounds very manly. I wonder what he looks like,- what?! Have you lost it? Shut up and concentrate on roasting the guy!!'

"Whatever! You took away my ride-

"Watch out!!" The guy exclaimed in horror and pulled Senrose towards himself, he wrapped his arms around her, while her face landed on his firm chest. The only sound Senrose heard after his worried cry was a screeching sound of tires rubbing against the road.

After a while there was a complete silence, Senrose felt her heart pounding harshly, her nose was filled with the fragrance of a man's perfume, and before her eyes there was a broad chest. She swiftly pushed him away and held herself.

"Are you okay!" He asked, his voice was filled with worry. Senrose didn't say anything at first but when she realised the situation by looking through the windshield, she gave a light nod.

"That's relieving," he replied, it went oddly silent after that and then the door of the car"s suddenly opened and someone placed a white handkerchief on Senrose's mouth, she saw another guy doing the same to the masked guy. Everything happened very suddenly and Senrose lost her consciousness.
