The Billionaire's Secret Lover

Chapter 50: Lillian's Wedding

“ Rise and shine, my baby girl” Mom's loud voice rang all through the stairs as she opened the door

into my room. I groaned as I buried my head deeper into the duvet.

“Lillian Thomas” Mom screamed at me and she came around to pull the duvet off my baby making me

scream in the process.

“ Mom____ .arrgh . I feel like killing you right now” I screamed at her as she rolled her eyes at me. She

went about opening my Windows blinds to let the sun in...

“ Who kills her mom on her wedding day?” Mom mumbles to herself as I stood up and went to hug her.

“ I'm sorry mom. I was alone joking. You know how much I value my sleep. Moreover, Danny and I

talked until the early hours of the morning ” I apologised to her as she turned to hug me with tears in

her eyes.

“ It's okay Angel. I do understand. I can't believe you are getting married ” Mom said as she cried on my

shoulder. I was teary too but I forced myself to be strong for the both of us. I haven't been going to visit

her at the hospital, with the wedding preparation and all that.

“ Enough of the tears. Angel, I need you to go take a shower cause your makeup artist will be here

sooner than you could imagine ” Mom said as she dragged me into the bathroom.

“ Don't worry about a thing darling, I will handle all of it. Take your time showering, remember you won't

have time to shower anymore. Scrub everywhere clean in case you know, Danny might want to_____.

What am I even saying? I keep forgetting that you are pregnant ”

Mom's voice called out to me from outside my bathroom door as I face panned myself.

Do all mothers give such advice to their daughters on their wedding day? Gosh! And what does she

mean by scrub everywhere?

I ignored my mom as I took my toothbrush and toothpaste and began to brush my teeth. I brush up and

down, when I am done I enter into the shower and soak for a few minutes before scrubbing all over my

body. I was nervous about meeting everyone. I just wished Nina was here by my side, I've never done

a thing without her by my side. I miss her so much.

“Lilian. Are you not done yet?” Mom knocked on my bathroom door as she screamed at the top of her

voice.

“Mom! You asked me to take my time, remember ” I repeated what she has told me sarcastically

causing her to pound on the door loudly.

“If you don't open the door in this instance. I'm going to force it down ” I quickly rinse my body and got

out tying a towel around my body. Knowing my mom, she isn't joking.

I walked out to the bedroom to see that my dress was already put on a dress stand while Juli was

smiling up at me “ Congratulations! Miss Thomas” She came around to hug me.

“Thank you Juli” I replied while looking at her. I don't know why Michael sent Juli to do my makeup.

Though I requested someone from Lush Beauty but I wasn't expecting Juli. I remember Nina telling me

once that she talks too much .

“And I'm sorry about Nina. She's such a good lady. I miss making up her face and Lush Beauty is

________”

“Juli, please can you not talk. I'm not in the mood. I'm sorry” I told her as I offered her an apologetic

smile. She nodded and got to work on my face.

Mom returned a while later to tell me that Danny's parents had arrived. Since I was pregnant, we

couldn't have the wedding at the cathedral instead we opted for a garden wedding which is why we are

using my parent's garden.

“What of Nina's parents? Are they here yet?” I asked mom as I looked at her from the mirror. She has

changed and was putting on a green flowing gown with a little white fascinator on her hair. Green and

white were my wedding colors, if you are wondering why green?

“Nor yet, but Michael's parents are here with Deborah and Austin. I'm sure Michael and Andrea are

with Danny right now since they are his best friends and _____”

“Mom!” I called her since she wouldn't stop blabbering.

“I'm sorry dear, I'm just so nervous. I want everything to be perfect but what to do? You don't have any

bridesmaids with you. Should I call Deborah, I'm sure she will be happy to help?” Mom asked me as I

clenched my fists in anger.

That killer! Arrgh. If it was left to me, I wouldn't have allowed her into my wedding “ No mom. I prefer

being alone than have Deborah be my bridesmaid” I told mom, seething my teeth in anger.

“But you are not alone” Nina's voice called out to me from the doorway. She was as beautiful and

radiant as always save for a few bruises on her face and hands. I stood shocked looking at her, not

quite believing that she was in front of me. Juli shrieks in excitement as my mom blinks her eyelids, she

was as shocked as I was.

“Sorry I'm late. I tried to come earlier but mom and dad wouldn't allow me to drive and I _____”

“Ina!” I asked her again to be sure she was the one.

“Yes, Lillian. Mom Amelia. It's me Nina '' Nina said with a smile on her face. I ran up to hug her with

tears in my eyes. I can't believe she is here in front of me and at my wedding. Mom came over to hug

us both as we all cried together. Tears of joy stream down my eyes, this was the best wedding present I

could ever ask for.

“When did you wake up Nina? Why didn't your parents say anything? And Michael does he know?” I

asked her as I guided her to a chair opposite mine since she was feeling weak due to her medications.

Mom had left us to ourselves saying she had guests she needed to attend to and she needed to greet

Nina's parents.

Nina sat down across from me after hugging Juli and Juli promising her to do her makeup “ Some days

ago” Nina replied shrugging.

I raised my eyebrows at her surprise “ Some days ago? Why didn't anyone say anything?”

“That's because I wanted to surprise you. Now, where is my dress, I have to get dressed” I nodded at

her as I went into the room to get her bridesmaid dress I've Bought for her from Paris.

“Wow! Lilian. This is so beautiful ” Nina exclaimed as she did a quick twirl with the dress. I smiled at

her.

“That's because you are the one wearing it. Imagine how it will look on my body?” I told her, rolling my

eyes at her as she laughed out loud. Gosh! I've missed my best friend.

I remember when Danny and I bought that dress, we wanted it to match with Michael's. I'm sure

everyone will be shocked to see them putting on the same dress.

Nina was still twirling around, trying to get her balance with the silver heels on her legs. “ So, how's my

Prince or princess doing?” Nina asked after she had sat down. Juli went to do her makeup while I stood

up to go put on my dress.

“Prince,” I replied as I laughed at the shock on her face. “ I went for the scan two days ago. You need to

see the happiness on Danny's face”

“So, it's a boy. Damn! I can't believe you let Danny win, '' Nina said as try badly to hide the smile on her

face. Why was she smiling? Shouldn't she be sad that I lost?

“Why are you smiling? Aren't you supposed to be sad that I lost?” I asked her, pouting at her.

“Of course, I am sad” Nina replied laughing, rolling her eyes at me “ But I'm happy too. Remind later to

get my money from Michael ”

“Michael? What money? ” I asked her still confused as I watch her curiously Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“I won the bet. I told him, it will be a boy but he said a girl” Nina replied giving me ‘ the are you dumb’

look.

“What? You weren't even on my side from the beginning? Some friend you are” I replied while feigning

annoyance with her.

“I'm sorry. I just knew Danny would win. I mean look at him with all those muscles ” Nina replied, rolling

her eyes at me as I blushed.

“Whatever. I still hate you” I stuck my tongue out at her as I put on my wedding gown. It fits me

perfectly and hides my baby bump. “ Speaking of Michael, does he know that you are awake?”

Nina stilled as she turns to look at me “ I don't know. I haven't been able to call him”

“Really? Why?” I asked her, surprised. I knew how much she loves Michael. Was she having a second

thought?.

Dad seized my phone. He even took my car, banned me from speaking to anyone in the Thompson's

family. Can you believe that? ” Nina shouted annoyed as I continued watching her.

“I don't blame your dad. If it were to be me, I would have tied your hands and legs” I glared at her. Is

she stupid? After everything, she is still trying to call Michael.

“What do you mean by that? I thought Michael was your friend?” Nina asked me slowly, trying to

understand me.

“Of course he is. He is my baby godfather but what use is a man that can't fight for a woman he loves.

He is useless. I'll kudos to your father. I'm sorry girl, but I'm with your father on this one” I told her as I

disappeared into the bedroom to get my shoes.

I can't believe she is still in love with Michael after everything he has put her through. Because of him,

Deborah tries to kill Nina. Is that not enough reason for her to fall out of love with him? What kind of

love is that?.

I huff as I walk back into the sitting room to see my dad and Nina conversing quietly. Juli was done with

making up Nina's face and packing her makeup products into her bag ready to leave.

“Dad!” I called out to him as he turned to smile at me.

“Wow! My baby girl looks so beautiful today. You are the most beautiful bride on the planet earth” Dad

complimented me as he came around to hug me.

“More beautiful than mom?” I asked him, teasing him lightly as he frowned at me.

“A little" He said as Nina and I both burst into laughter.

“Okay girls. We need to go, Danny is already waiting for you at the altar and he's beginning to think

you've changed your mind. I came to walk you in '' I nodded at dad as I ran to steal a glance of my

handsome groom through the window while Nina and Dad laughed. I roll my eyes at them as I walk

back to hook my hands with dad's as we all stepped out of my room to the garden.

Nina was to go in first. I turned to look at her as she nodded at me, reading the silent signal “ Are you

ready princess?” Dad said to Nina who nodded in response.

“Let's have the bride” The priest was saying as everyone all turned to stare at the back. Nina walked in

holding the same flowers as I was holding. Water-lilies. A few gasps were heard here and there but I

ignored them.

Danny stood shocked, I guess he wasn't expecting to see Nina here today. Well, that makes the two of

us.

I walked in with my father immediately I heard the background music ( Tatiana Manaois_ My Home).

Nina was seated beside Michael in front of the altar. Danny turned to look at me with a sincere smile on

his face when he saw me approaching. I can't believe I'm finally getting married after everything we've

been through.

My father handed me over to the priest who in turn gave me to Danny. Danny smiles at me as he

whispers to me “ You are mesmerizing. My beautiful queen” I blush as I turn to listen to what the priest

was saying.

“Do you Lillian Thomas, take Daniel Martins to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and cherish

him in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer till death do you part? ” The priest asked me.

I turned to smile at Danny who was urging me to say yes with his eyes “ Yes, I do”

“Do you Daniel Martins, take Lillian Thomas to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and cherish her in

sickness and in health, for richer for poorer till death do you part ” The priest asked Danny looking at

him while waiting for his response.

“Yes, I do,” Danny replied with a bright smile gracing his face. We both exchange our rings and say our

vows with smiles on each of our faces.

“By the power vested in me by the Holy spirit. I now pronounce you husband and wife. Ladies and

gentlemen, behold your new couples, Mr. and Mrs. Martins. You may now kiss the bride” The priest

said as Danny pulled me closer to him and slammed his lips on mine.

I was so happy, everyone stood up and clapped. Nina was crying as she came over to hug me “ I'm so

happy for you. Finally babe!” She screamed with tears in her eyes.

“Congratulations! Mr. and Mrs. Martins” My parents and Danny's parents came over to hug and

congratulate us with a smile on each of their faces.

“Congratulations, man!” Michael and Andrea greeted Danny and I. Deborah was seated beside

Michael's mom with a smile on her face as she ran her hands through her belly.

I rolled my eyes at her. I can't believe she fools everyone. I went back into my room to change out of

my dress and get ready for the reception. Finally, I'm married.

“How does it feel? Mrs. Lillian Martins” I said to myself with a smile as I anticipated our honeymoon.
