After a few hours talking to Alvin, we got back into the house and still met the atmosphere chocked.
Mom's glared at me with so much hate in her eyes, Tori gets up to leave, "hold on, can we talk?'.
The sound of my voice pinned her down to a spot, she says, "we have nothing to talk about". ( Avoids my glare).
Heeding her hurtful statement, I took a few steps closer, and weaved her to my attention," please sister!!! Can we talk?"
( Continued talking)
I'm sorry for everything, that happened!!! And to show how much I regret my actions, I'll get you married to Jason In a month, please don't say no"
( Waits to see hear response)
"What!! Did you just say?". Tori asks to return my words, and the second I did, mom veers me to her side, "please don't tell me you're joking?". She says.
I swiftly disapproved of her idea and weakly smiled my words out.
"No!! I'm not joking mom and yes!! Jason is happy to stay here and as soon as the wedding takes place, Tori can go stay with him".( My words spurt a happy glare on Tori's face, she pulls me back and hugged me) "thank you so much, sis!! I knew you would come around".
( My eyes drops on Alvin's face)
"Good job". ( He gestured with thumps up).
Jason watched from the side and took notice of everything, my eyes drops and saw the frown on his countenance, deep down I knew he wasn't pleased by my words, now let's see how he counters my attack.
The same day, I took a deep thought seated on my bed, thus not quite long Alvin's strode in and met me lost in space.
"Miss danger!! Are you okay?" A warm hand gained me back to my senses, "oh!! I'm fine Alvin but just a little worried".
"Worried about what?". He adds to me, so I said, "I'm worried about Tori and my decision to getting her married to the devil, Jason!! Are you sure this plan of ours would work? What if everything backfires?". ( Ends my statement with a question)
Alvin sadly sat next to me and said, " Lisa!! In life, we should always be ready to take risks for the one we love or our family, either way!! If you want Tori to know who Jason truly is, we should let her find her out, but with a little push for us, so don't worry, I'm here with you!! Always and forever".
( Smiles)
"Thank you so much, Alvin, I'm happy that I have you here with me". ( I said, as he reeled me in for a warm hug).

A MONTH LATER
It's been a month and every attempt to get Jason exposed, backfired, to a point that, I have a few days in getting Tori married to him, how do I stop the wedding?.
"Lisa!"
Alvin strolls in with a glass in his hand, "what's going on? I asked and he said, "I just overheard Jason's conversation with someone on the phone and somehow I feel it's Mr. Ajay he's talking with ".  Alvin explains to me.
A spark of curiosity dropped over my face, I jagged up from the bed and let out, "so what are we waiting for?". I said eager to obtain his contents to his conversation, rather Alvin nudged me back, "hold on miss firefighter and let's not forget that Jason's waiting for us to make a mistake". He declined my statement when Tori Walked in, "Is everything okay?" She asks obliviously to the fact that Jason's truth.
Alvin put on a calm posture and dragged me closer to him, "yes dear!! But tell me, why are you here?". ( Arms linked to mine).
"Jason was hoping to get everyone downstairs, he says, it's quite important,".
( Tori informs and strolled back to the living room).
A few headcounts, Alvin and I strolled only to see Jason's serious face,  "what's going on?" I asked as they all turned at the sound of my voice.
"Welcome sister in law!! We've been waiting for you?". Jason gets up from the couch, "what's going on, why all this secrecy?".
( The tone of my voice gets him smiling)
"Well, the reason Is that I'll be getting engaged to Tori tonight and the marriage will take place, two days from now".
( He announced to the whole family)
"Wait, what are you saying? Aren't you supposed to get married in a few days, why the sudden rush hour?". ( I asked, rather someone else answered back)
"Sis!! Hold on okay!! And please, I trust Jason, he knows what he's doing and, remember you promised not to do anything stupid".
Tori weaves out my initial words, yet something felt fishy.
Thereafter all attempts to derail tori from accepting Jason's idea backfired, once again I found myself stuck between a hard decision.
"Tori!! I know I promised okay but isn't it a little bit quick to get married, there's a lot to do?". ( I added)
"Calm down sis and don't worry about a thing, Jason here has finalized all the preparation, for tonight's engagement party and the wedding as well". ( Smiling affirming her words to me).
"Oh okay". Finally caved in, as she left arms linked with Jason, the mom gets up after a few headcounts, leaving Alvin and me behind in the living room.
( Paused for a while, thus the second mom's door locked, I turned to Alvin and complained)
"Please tell me, there's some kind of plan to stop this from happening?". ( Waits to hear his comeback)
He declined my statement, donning a sad expression on his countenance, "oh!! My goodness!!! How then I'm I going to stop this wedding!! Jason can't possibly get married to my sister". ( Waged a frowning face, and forcefully dragged me out of the living room and into my room).
( 1 hour later)
"Lisa!! Can we talk?". Alvin's deep voice beers my attention over to my room door, "talk about what?" I said and watched him take a few steps closer, locking the door shut from behind.
"Lisa!! I know we've been through a lot and trust me, I'm proud of the lady you have become, and matter, what happens, I'll always be with you, and to solve the pending news, I'm certain that, Jason won't get married to Tori!!!". Alvin spurts a smile at me.
I copied the same glare on mine, "so tell me Alvin!! How do we get this wedding called off?". I asked and he goes, "trust me, miss danger".
