Bella could not believe her ears, this man was too dirty minded.
" you are a pervert" She was angry at his confident tone. He did not speak like he was sorry.
" I promise to corrupt you once we get married" She heard him say.
" And I promise not to be corrupted by you while married" Her words made Jake laugh.
" Good night wifey-to-be" 
"Good night Mr Jake"
The next morning,Esther and the other family members came home. When Bella saw Esther and Madam Amelia come out of the car, she ran to them and hugged both women making them giggle and laugh. Bella greeted Mr. Fred and welcomed them home .
Esther and Madam Amelia were very happy to see Bella after a long time. She was busy for the last six months and the women hadn't gotten a chance to talk and gist.
The old man and Jack were inside the house waiting for them to come in. Esther and her parents greeted the old man first and then they attacked Jack. Jack was already used to being hugged to death by his mum and Esther while his father Mr. Fred patted his shoulders and asked how work was.
They finally settled down to eat. Unlike yesterday, the dinning table was lively and full of laughter.
All of a sudden, Bella choked on the wine she was drinking. She coughed a few times before she regained herself.
" Sorry, take it easy" They all said something to console her except Jake.
What was expected of a culprit?
Nothing but a smirk no one saw except Bella. This daredevil.
He had the audacity to touch her lap under the table without anyone noticing anything.
She sat for a couple of minutes before giving an ordinary excuse to leave .
She walked around the house and soon found herself in the large and beautiful garden.
She looked around and admired things she saw there. Just as she was looking around, A hand came around her waist holding her firmly.
She gasped and was about to scream when a voice stopped her just in time " Hey, it's me"
It was Jack, the asshole made her abandon her breakfast halfway because he could not keep his hands to himself.
" Jack, what are you doing? someone might see us like this" She was not the attention seeker, even if she was , Not this kind of attention.
" I'm hugging my wife, I don't see reasons why I shouldn't. I also don't care who sees us , after all we will soon be married" Jake said and blew air inside her ear making her have goosebumps all over.
" I'm not your wife yet and I didn't give you permission to hold me or touch me like that's She said 
Jake had a short laugh before saying " I won't be needing your permission or anyone's else to touch you when you finally become my wife" 
"We are not yet married Jack and what if someone saw what yiu did earlier at the table..then we.." 
He interrupted her saying" They will think that we make the perfect couple already, even before marriage" 
She could almost feel him smirking behind her. What a jerk! Perfect couple my foot.
" See you next week wifey-to-be" Jake said and released her before walking away with his entourages. 
She breathed in relief as she saw him walk away. Jake had just left for a few seconds 
when she heard something from behind her.
" You look relaxed" 
when she turned , it turned out to be Esther.
" hi Esther "
" How are you taking the whole marriage thing?" Esther was direct, not beating about the bush.
" It's fine by me" Bella replied " as long as it's Grandpa decision"
" Yeah, Grandpa always makes the right decision for anyone and I'm sure that this will not be a mistake" Esther said and put her hand around Bella's shoulders.
" let's go shopping for your wedding dress please, I really want to see how you will look in your wedding dress" Esther was trying to make a baby face to convince her.
" ok! let's go" Bella has no choice but to comply.
The both of them then went to the wedding store alongside Madam Amelia.
Bella happily enjoyed every moment thinking maybe Next week was still a little far from the present.
But it seems time was racing towards the big day.
Wedding Day ?️?️?️
–-------------
Bella sighed and looked herself in the mirror again. The make-up artist just touched few places which means that she was still very much natural right now.
It was finally the day that her identity was going to change forever, she would soon be referred to as Mrs Bella Perry.
Oh Lord please! She was getting married today and there is no turning back on her decision.
Esther and Madam kept praising how beautiful she was and how she was going to let Jake lose his mind.
The Old man already sent a driver to take them to court. There were going to be five people present aside her and Jake. They soon reached the court room and it was finally time to tie the knot.
Jake was wearing a black and white customized suit while Bella was dressed in a white gown which passed her knees by few inches.
After the Priest's words, they both signed their wedding document and the witness there all clapped their hands.
The priest said " I now declare you Husband and Wife, you may kiss the bride" 
Jake kissed her slowly before releasing her. The people cheered for them for clapped too for the newly wed.
Peter walked to Bella and hugged her, then congratulating her. 
" I thought you won't be able to make it today" Bella would have been very sad if Peter did not make it to the most important day of her life.
He informed her three days ago that he might not make it to the wedding because he was on top of a important projects which was compulsory for him to take part in.
But luckily, the project arrangement was shifted and he was chanced to attend her wedding.
" I'm very glad to be here for you big sis. I wish you happiness in your marriage " Peter said and kissed her forehead.
Between Bella and Peter, there was that siblings bond that made them inseparable.
