At the sight of Bertie in the hall, Philip became unsettled which Sheila noticed at once.
"Are you alright?".
"A-am, okay, am okay".
Philip tried adjusting his suit not with confidence anyway".
"Philip, it's obvious you aren't alright".
"I said am okay". Philip mumbled.
Sheila kept quiet and focused more on the priest who was giving his sermon.
The holy matrimony of Harriett Sheila and Johnson Philip came up at Saint James Anglican church where they were joined by Rev. Fr Wyatt Stephens.
A lot of people were in the church to grace the occasion which made Philip happy but the sight of Bertie who also sat amidst the congregation spoilt his morale.
"Now it's time for the husband and wife to come forward ad instructed by the priest, facing him.

"Face the Congregation " Rev Wyatt instructed.
again. Philip and Sheila yielded but Philip's eyes met with Bertie's own who had a devilish.
A smile spread all over her face, Philip tried
taking his eyes off her but it seemed too hard.
He had no idea of what Bertie was going to do, but he prayed with his mind.
"If there is anyone born of Man and woman that doesn't want Johnson Philip and Harriett Sheila to get married speak now or forever remain silent.
Philip prayed harder as his heart raced like that of a sports car, having his life almost jumping out of his real self occupied.
Everywhere was controlled with an immense silence.
Rev Fr Wyatt repeated it again and suddenly Bertie stood up picked up her back and hurried out of the church, all eyes diverted to her.
Immediately Philip closed his eyes almost weeping to expect a devilish voice to add sand to the salt. But all his thought didn't happen. He opened his eyes only to find everywhere still in order but now he couldn't find Bertie.
Rev Fr Wyatt repeated the statement, which was the last time and nobody stood up to speak contrary.
Philip smiled at this moment and other
programs went on smoothly. Sheila had hired an outsider to act as her father whom she claimed to be her uncle who always stands in for their father who is no more while Esther stood in as the mother. After the reception, Bertie sent Philip into a secretive arena.
"I spared you today Philip. My intention
was to spoil you in front of those crowd
telling them that I carry your baby in my belly.
but I reconsidered it and admitted to letting it go but that's not for free, I need you badly"
Bertie moved closely to Philip caressing him from the mouth to his chest down to his abdomen, but Philip took her handoff.
"Bravo, that in a way won't affect
me, you will be the one to lose, you'll lose your reputation and dignity in the society, but I will not let it happen only if you play the game along with me".

Bertie left for her car and zoomed off the
reception arena to her house leaving Philip who just stood on a spot gating at unseen things, the ugly aspect in which life has turned to him.
He soon recovered from his daydream and then he left to meet his wife, Sheila. After a series of photographs, they headed home.
Sheila remembered the paradise again even before they got there she was very happy he but now, she's falling in love with Philip.
But that will cause a lot of damage, the mission will be at stake all her promises for Gabriel will just crash within a day.
That will be a very great disaster, Sheila
thought. " You have started the game and you must finish," her gut told her.
"Sheila, are you okay? you seemed carried away.
"Yes, am okay but am quite tired,
all the programs we had today. I am
very tired and exhausted."
"Oo Sorry my dear, we will soon be at home"
"Okay no problem"
Philip kissed Sheila's forehead as the driver swerved left back to the right and soonest got to the building, Philip had built for him his wife and children. They both had their meal and they went to refreshen up after which they slept.
Shannon was very happy at the success of her son's wedding party, she finally experienced the party she had always wished to experience.
She began to persuade Sandra to bring home her own better half also.
After Shannon and Sandra were done eating, they tried dialing Philip's number but it wasn't reachable so also wife Sheila.
The wedding party was huh, I can't explain. I think I have experienced such a wedding party. Although this time around it's the lady. She was having affair with her husband's friend that was the best man. So when the priest said that if you are here and wouldn't want this two to become husband and wife speak or you won't speak again. The best man thought he won't speak again, so he was afraid and raised his hand. The wife collapsed...
