Chapter 192 - Shadow

Ron's place.

" What's the point shifting there? Do you think you can protect her forever?" A man asked.

Passing him a bottle of water, Ron said," If I stay close, I can keep an eye on her and-"

" Ron, you know this is not going to help. Silvia Green has to leave with us before they find her." The man said.

" Yuzi you are not understanding. There is no way Silvia is going to leave everything and go with us. And how do you expect me to do that? Silvia is someone who values relationships a lot and-"

Cutting him off, Yuzi said," This is why I was against you growing up with her. You cannot let your emotions speak. Think logically Ron not emotionally." 

" I am not thinking emotionally Yuzi. All of this is not as simple as you think. I know Silvia and I know the people around her. Do you think Herpi Austin, Thomas Green and Kevin Austin will let us take Silvia away so easily? And what about the Jones? Do you think Jeremiah Jones will let us take his granddaughter away so easily?" Ron said.

Yuzi frowned and said," It doesn't matter whether they let us take her or not. No matter what, Silvia has to come with us." 

Ron got up from his seat and said," I am her shadow and she is my responsibility. I will do what I am supposed to and I don't want anyone's interference."

Yuzi frowned and said," You were supposed to keep Janet Brown away from Silvia Green. In fact, you were supposed to kill her but-"

Ron frowned and said," Enough. Janet is not a threat. She is my friend and-"

" You have already broken so many rules Ron if the chief comes to know about this then you know what is going to happen." Yuzi said.

" I'll take care of everything. You don't have to interfere." Ron said.

Yuzi sighed and said," Be careful Ron, you are taking things way to lightly. Silvia is the one who will end up suffering because of your stubbornness." Before leaving Ron's apartment.

After Yuzi left, Ron sighed and started placing his things inside a box.

Halvestine Hotel.

Sitting in front of the mirror in a daze, Bella was letting the people around her groom her for the wedding which would take place in less than two hours.

" Ms Bella, you are looking very pretty." The makeup artist said.

Giving her a weak smile, Bella said," Thank you."

" Can I use your phone for a while? I don't know where I kept mine." Bella asked.

The makeup artist nodded her head before passing Bella her phone.

Thinking for quite some time, Bella punched in Matt's number. No matter whatever had happened, Bella still had a tiny hope in her heart that Matt would come and take her away. 

After trying several times when the call did not go through, Bella smiled and helplessly shook her head.

" Madam, do you want to contact someone?" The makeup artist asked.

Bella shook her head and said," No."

….

Kevin's apartment.

" Is he here yet?" Chris asked.

" His phone is still off, so I guess he is still on the plane." Rocky said.

" Oh my God, what do we do now?" Chris asked.

Rocky frowned and said," Serves that bastard right."

Kevin sighed and said," We should go to the hotel and start looking for Bella. If we manage to delay the wedding then Matt can come and confess her feelings to Bella and then take her away."

Chris nodded his head and said," Yes we can do that."

" I have already asked someone to find out in which room number Bella is. She is in the presidential suit but it's useless because that room is heavily guarded with men." Rocky said.

" Now what do we do?" Chris asked.

Massaging his templates, Kevin said," I don't know."

…..

Halvestine Hotel.

After wearing her wedding gown, Bella brushed her hands through it and smiled.

She had once dreamt about wearing a wedding gown and walking down the aisle with her father for Matt. Who would've thought that one day she would wear a wedding gown and would also walk down the aisle but for some other man.

" Ms Bella, you are looking beautiful." One of her helpers said.

Bella smiled and said," Thank you."

" The wedding his about to start, we have to go down." Someone said.

" Can I borrow your phone?" Bella asked.

The helper nodded her head before passing Bella her phone.

For the one last time, Bella punched Matt's number hoping that he would receive it.

This time, though the call went through no one received it.

Giving the phone back to the helper, Bella said," Can you all go out for a moment? I need some space."

The helpers nodded their heads and left.

After everyone left, Bella took a few deep breaths to calm herself down but no matter how hard she tried, she could not stop her tears from rolling down her cheeks.

" Now is you cry like that, the makeup artist has to retouch it." Father Watson said before walking towards her.

Wiping her tears away, Father Watson said," What are you crying for? You are getting married today darling, you should be happy." 

Giving him a weak smile, Bella nodded her head.

Grabbing a tissue, father Watson dabbed her tears away and said," I would've been happy if these tears were for me, my daughter is crying on her wedding day not because she will be leaving her father alone but because she couldn't marry that bastard. You have no idea how jealous I am of him." 

Bella chuckled and said," I'll miss you."

Hooking his arms around hers, Father Watson said," Has your father ever let you suffer a loss?"

Bella shook her head and said," No."

" Then what are you worried about? Your father does everything thinking about you." Father Watson said.

Kissing her forehead, he smiled and said," Come, let's walk down the aisle."
