Married To My Sister's Husband

Friday- 11:30am - Courthouse

"Is this some kind of plan to make us look bad? We've been waiting for your daughter for the past hour but she's nowhere to be found. Is this part of your retaliation scheme?!" Matthew Winfrey asked furiously, as his wife tries to pacify him.

It's been an hour and Livy was nowhere to be found.

"She'll be her soon, I guarantee it. She's just running a bit late that's all. You know kids these days tend to spend hours on their looks for a normal day, let alone a special day like this. Be patient for just 15 more minutes and I promise she'll be here." Judy affirmed strongly.

She had no idea where that child might be or what she might be doing.

Judy had left Livy at home and rushed to the courthouse when she realised her daughter was not yet ready, but the Winfrey's were almost at the courthouse.

Judy was never late for anything in her life and she was not going to let the Winfrey get to the courthouse before her. So she left Livy to come by herself, but gave strict instructions to the driver to bring Livy straight to the courthouse once she was done.

But now, even the driver's number is switched off and so was Livy's.

If Livy isn't at the courthouse in the next 15minutes, then the Winfrey's would have an excuse to pull out of the contract. Livy's recklessness is about to cause her Castlehill and she hates where all these was heading.

So, she walked up to Heather- who was fondling with her phone, to know if she has heard any word from Livy.

"You were with her all day yesterday, did she say anything to you or was she acting strange in anyway?" Judy asked Heather inquisitively.

"No ma'am, she didn't say anything to me. In fact she hardly spoke a word at all yesterday. I thought she was upset about her date with Markian the day before. She only gave a weak smile and said 'it was exactly how I pictured it to be' when I asked her about the date. Do you think maybe she got cold feet?" Heather concluded with a question that made Judy more agitated.

"Have you tried calling her?" Judy asked.

"Yes, but her number is not going through." Heather replied.

Judy could not help but turn her eyes to Markian. Ever since Livy returned from that 'date', Livy have been more depressed than she was before the engagement.

Whatever is happening now must have had something to do with Markian. He is perfectly relaxed in a chaotic situation as this. He never wanted these marriage, but the Markian I know would be more agitated and embarrassed than anyone else because his bride was at the verge of standing him up on their wedding day.

He seemed too relaxed and less concerned, so she went up to him.

"why can't I shake off this arduous feeling that you have a hand in this hubbub? Where is my daughter?" Judy asked threateningly.

"She is not my wife yet, but she is your daughter. You are the only one in the position to answer that question, ma'am. But I'm guessing, she may not want this wedding also. You know, you should really learn to listen to your daughter more often Mrs Luthel," Markian confabulated.

"You kids think this is a joke? I would expect this from Livy, but from you?... I expected more. You of all people should know that in other to run a company like ours, sometimes we have to put our emotions aside in order to make decisions that would affect the company. We can't be selfish, we don't have such luxuries. Castlehill and Luthel Inc. stocks skyrocketing depends on this alliance, but it's surprising to see that you of all people don't understand it. Then your father was a fool for putting a little kid incharge of running a huge company like Castlehill." She spoke with gritted teeth but continued.

"You think you've won? Bear one thing in mind boy, if these goes the way you want it, Castlehill will fall and you'll come running back to me for help. I promise you." Judy concluded and walked away.

Scoffs... Is she being serious? Her threatens might have worked with his father, but he doesn't care about anything anymore.

Thanks to Livy, he can retain his sanity for a little while longer before some other problem forges.

Only 10minutes left and this whole madness will be over for good.
