Baby it's not like that, Mrs Leo said trying to hold her daughter but Serena stepped back.
Is he investing in the company or not, she asked. Yes but.....
Cuts in, mom, dad, please give him back his investments, it's not like if he doesn't invest we're gonna go bankrupt.
Serena, you don't understand, please I'm begging you, just get married.
Is that how your silly ass was forced to get married to dad, she said earning a slap from her mom.
This isn't fair mom, she said and ran upstairs to her bedroom.
Mind you,this should be the very last time you raise your hand to my wife, Jaden said and stepped out.
Bedroom
Serena on getting to her room was shocked, on seeing the arrangements. A wedding dress,shoes and accessories were neatly set-up, she hadn't been able to digest everything when people barged into her room and started getting her ready.
Still in shock from her mother's slap, she sat down quietly and let them do their work. In no time they were done and left after complementing her.
Serena stood in front of the mirror looking at herself l, wanting to believe that it was all a dream but no, reality dawned on her, she was really getting married.
Meanwhile Jaden sat down in the living room waiting for his bride after the people he appointed to her left.
10,20,30minutes passed and Jaden signaled her parents to go get his bride. When Mrs Leo went upstairs, she came back looking pale.
Honey, she's gone, she said. What, me Leo exclaimed. Jaden immediately stood up and made a phone call, assigning all the guards outside a task of finding his wife to be.
I'm leaving for the church, if I don't see your daughter in the next thirty minutes, I don't think I've to remind you of the consequences, he said and left.
Oh my goodness, it's all my fault, I should have gone easy on her, Mrs Leo cried out not failing to take note of how he addressed Serena as their daughter instead of his wife as he usually does, which means trouble.
Mr Leo immediately set out with his wife in search for Serena after informing the police.
Serena who was on the run completely clueless of the fact that the police and Jaden's men were in search of her. She kept running as fast as she could despite being slowed down by the wedding dress. She quickly thought back to how she stood in front of the mirror looking at herself fully dressed and then it clicked to her that she couldn't just marry anybody, that was when the escape plan kicked in.
She immediately took off her shoes and replaced them with slippers, she couldn't take off the dress as she needed assistance. There was a secret passage in Sarah's room, so she decided to make use of it, and then she used the back gate to escape.
She decided to keep off from the road and ventured into the woods, so as not to get caught.
She ran for the past twenty minutes but it felt like she had been running for the past one hour, she was so tensed, she wanted to call a friend but she knew her parents would contact her friends.
So she kept moving and found a place to relax. She planned on waiting till it got dark, then the wedding would have been cancelled and she would book a cab and spend the next couple of days in an hotel.
She quietly played a game on her phone when she received a video from an unknown number.
