Chapter 72
CLAIRE
“Sleepy head, wake up” I heard someone yell. Who could be that person disturbing my sleep? sweet dreams.
“Claire, wake up honey” I felt someone tap me and I opened my eyes and I saw three smiling faces. It was Daniela, Danielle and mom. It’s my wedding day, I’m so excited.
I’m finally marrying Darrell, the love of my life. Today is also my birthday and I’ll be turning nineteen.
Dad and mom didn’t let Darrell and I sleep in the same room. Says it’s marriage traditions and I missed him even though we video chatted through out the night.
“It’s my wedding, It’s my wedding and my birthday” I screamed and giggled into the bathroom.
“Wow, she looks really excited”
“Yeah, who wouldn’t”
“Having a wedding on your birthday is great”

They helped me wear my Ivory lace & silk maternity wedding gown, mom suggested I wore a maternity wedding gownsince I’m pregnant and my stomach is already out but it’s not really big though.
The doctor did say I was gonna have an early baby bump since I’m carrying triplets and that I was gonna give birth much earlier too; about about 7-8 months because they will not be enough space to accommodate the babies in my womb for night months.
Enough talk about my babies, the makeup artist did wonders to my face and I barely recognized myself.
“Wow, Claire. You look so beautiful” Danielle giggled.
“Thanks Danielle. I missed you so much”
“Hey, what about me” mom pouted.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“You too mom”
“My baby is finally getting married. I didn’t really think you will get married at this age but I’m happy since, you’re marrying a good man like Darrell”
“Thanks mom”
“You guys are making me feel emotional” Daniela said and I chuckled.
“Come on, put on your veil. You don’t wanna keep Darrell waiting”
“Of course”
DARRELL
“What are the chances of Greg attacking today” I asked the commander.
“Nil”
“Great, keep it that way”
There is no way that bastard will be getting in. If he tries to infiltrate the wedding, he will definitely be caught. The wedding is strictly by invitation and uninvited guest are not allowed.
There is a face scanner in front of the church and all guest going in will have their faces scanned and if you’re invited it will display invited on the computer screen.
I had to bring in the help of the military and the president also sponsored my wedding and other influencatial people who were also in attendance.
Different soldiers with snipers were placed at strategic locations and they had with them a sniper detector.
Daisy was followed in a convoy with about eight fleet of cars. I made sure of it, I don’t want anything to disrupt my wedding today.
About 15 minutes later, I heard Daisy had arrived. I was anxious to see her and soon the door flung open and all I could see was her. She was walking with her dad though but still she captured the moment.
She was looking so beautiful in that dress and baby bump was slightly visible through the gown she wore and she was much more plumpy now but she was still perfect and I couldn’t help but stare at her.
“Relax bro, she’s gonna be yours soon” Asher grinned. Which other person fits the position of best man if not Asher? He’s my best friend and brother.
She soon stood in front of me as we faced each other. I could see her smiling through the veil and I wished I could take her right now.
“Today we are all gathered here for the solemnization of holy matrimony between Mr. Darrell Bingwen and Miss Claire Daisy Willows. I declare the ceremony open in the name of father, son and the holy spirit.” the priest announced.
“Now to the groom; Mr. Darrell Bingwen, do you take Miss Claire Daisy Willows to be your lawfully wedded wife; to love and to cherish her; in sickness and in health; in riches and in penury; till death do you part”
“I do” I said and slide a ring into her finger and I could see her smile through the veil.
“Now to the bride; Miss Claire Daisy Willows, do you take Mr. Darrell Bingwen to be your lawfully wedded husband; to love and to cherish him; in sickness and in health; in riches and in penury; till death do you part”
“I do” she smiled and slide the ring into my fingers. Finally Daisy, you’re my wife now.
“By the power vested on me as a priest of the most high, I now prinouce you Husband and wife. You may now…”
Before he completed his sentence, I raised the veil of Daisy’s head and kissed her at once. Slowly at first but I picked up the pace and kissed her passionately. I could hear the congregation laughing and cheering.
We soon stopped kissing and she had a blush on her face. We walked down the aisle together and cheers and jubilation filled the air.
“My tiny little wife” I teased and she frowned.
“I’m not tiny”
“Oh I forgot, you’re kinda of fat now”
“Ahh, Darrell” she said within gritted teeth and I chuckled.
“Come on, you can make those sounds when we are home” I smirked.
“Pervert”
We soon got to the reception hall where I gave her a diamond necklace as her birthday gift. They was a lot to eat and drink and finally, the wedding ended.
“I’m exhausted” she muttered falling on the bed.
“Hey, you can’t be exhausted”
“Darrell, please not today. I promise you we can do it on our honeymoon tomorrow, in the plane maybe, at home but right now, I need to sleep” she kissed my lips and closed her eyes.
“OK, but don’t tell me you’re gonna sleep on your wedding dress” she was already sleeping. She must be really tired. I had to take off her dress and put on a simple night gown on her. It was really hard because she was always moving her body. Crazy woman
“I’m so happy baby that I’m finally your wife” she muttered sleepily. Me too Daisy, I’m happy that you’re my wife now.
I kissed her forehead and headed into the bathroom. I had my bath and put on a pajamas and I laid beside her on the bed cuddling her my arms.
CLAIRE
“Who’s is ready for a honeymoon vacation to China” I screamed.
“I’m ready but I don’t think Mr. sleepy head is” I giggled.
“God, Daisy can’t someone get a good sleep” Darrell muttered.
“Finally, I thought you were never gonna wake up”
His eyes widened. “You didn’t want me to wake up so you could get married to another man”
“Huh? no. Darrell are you crazy? don’t you ever say a thing like that. You’re my husband and I wouldn’t want to get married to any other man” I told him and started crying.
“Hey Daisy. I was just kidding please don’t cry” he pulled me into his arms.
“Don’t you ever joke with stuffs like that” I poked his chest.
“I promise, I won’t” he muttered wiping the tears off my eyes.
“Come on, let’s go take a bath”
“OK”
*****
3 weeks later?
GREG
“It is time”
“It is time for destruction”
“Boss, we just got intel. Claire just picked up Zach from school and they are all heading home together”
“Perfect, we strike now”
“Yes boss”
“One more thing, they must all be brought to me alive. Also, don’t underestimate Claire, she’s pretty good with cars. I want a smooth job, no mistakes”
“Yes boss”
“Ready the men, it’s time to go hunting”
CLAIRE
It’s been three weeks since Darrell and I got married. Darrell has been nothing but sweet and he’s the best husband one can ever ask for even though, I’m always giving my headaches
He always kisses my stomach every morning and tells ours babies how much he would want them to get out quickly. He never misses it and he always makes sure to always follow me for my anti-natal.
We visited China for our honeymoon. China is very beautiful, very, very beautiful. Their landscape is amazing. I got to meet Darrell’s maternal family and they are very lovely people.
I also found out that Darrell speaks five languages including Chinese. I looked like a dummy when him and his family were talking in Chinese. You get the feeling.
Asher and Daniela will be getting married when she puts to birth and Asher also got her a car but Darrell made sure we went in the same car.
Sometimes, we go in my car and sometimes, we go in Daniela’s.
We haven’t heard from Greg since and Darrell made sure we always went in a convey of about eight cars and he recently hired new bodyguards.
We were on way home and I had to pick Zach from school since Darrell was in a meeting. Since it’s a fancy car, my car has just two seats so Zach sat on Daniela’a lap and I think he fell asleep.
“He looks really tired,” she muttered as she stroked his hair.
“Yeah, he does look really tired but we will be home soon”
Before our eyes, three vehicles from our convey exploded.
“What the hell!” Before I could blink my eyes, another two exploded and it rolled and almost hit us but I was quick to sway the car. Then I sighted six guys from the top of a building and they were all holding a bazooka.
“Claire we are under attack” Daniela screamed and Zach was now fully awake. A lot of people ran for their lives and so did we. I put the car on full speed. It’s surprising no car was chasing us but I was wrong.
Before my eyes, different cars came from different directions and surrounded us.
“It’s a fucking trap”
***
I opened my eyes and I was chained to a chair. I couldn’t see Zach or Daniela in the room but a strange man was in the room.
“Who are you and what do you want from us” I yelled and he turned to face me.
“Who am I? don’t you remember this voice” he smirked.
“Greg” You got to be kidding me this bastard had a facial surgery and changed his face to an entirely different person.
“I’m glad you remember”
“Where is Zach and Daniela? where are they” I asked sternly.
“In a different room, don’t worry they are fine… for now”
“What do you mean for now”
“There are gonna be dead soon”
“Don’t you dare lay your fingers on them, my husband is gonna hunt you”
“You know what I like about you Claire, you’re brave. That’s why I won’t kill you, I’ll just make you mine. First, I need to abort those babies in your womb, wipe your memory away, kill your whole family and then, fly us abroad and then we will live together. We may even get married, wouldn’t that be wonderful”
“In your dreams. I will never marry a man like you”
“You don’t have a choice, Now to the first phase of my plan”
“Rodriguez” a guy came with a tray and there was a syringe in it. He raised the syringe and brought it close to me.
“What are you doing” I asked fearfully as I tried to break free from these chains.
“It’s of no use Claire. I’m gonna abort your babies”
____3rd person’s pov____
“Captain, I’m picking up heat signatures”
“How many are they”
“Nine, three looks like they are tied up”
“That must be them”
“Martinez, Kong, Oscar, Feng do you have a clear shot? I repeat do you have a clear shot”
“Yes captain”
“Take them out” the soldiers shot at then men with a sniper including Greg.
Claire stared at Gregory as he fell to the ground dead she was however unlucky as he had already injected the serum into her body.
“Oh no, he injected her with something”
“Call an ambulance”
CLAIRE
I cried as my eye lid became heavy and my vision was blurred but I could still see the blood dripping down my thighs. My babies. I can’t afford to loose them.
I felt someone loose the chains off me and Darrell ran to me. I felt so weak and the last thing I said before slipping into unconsciousness was,
“Darrell, my babies”…
