Chapter 713: 713

713 Change His Mind At The Last Minute

Arianna never thought that it would be easy, nor did it cross her mind that it would be this hard either. Nonetheless, she was not giving up and that was why she walked over to Elijah with determination and cupped his face so he was looking into her eyes even though he was a whole lot taller than her.

Damn, what’s with men and height.

“Listen to me, you are Elijah, the phantom ghost. Your brother Ezra might have a police dog nose or something...” Arianna wrinkled her nose at the thought,” But then, you are the smartest of all the brothers. You were able to deceive Marcel and a whole lot others, what more your brother, Ezra. ”

It hit Elijah in the head and his eyes lit up, “Exactly,”

“Yes,” Arianna thought that he was getting her point without knowing that it was for a whole different reason.

“No, you don’t understand,” A smile lit up Elijah’s face, “I’m Ezra’s blind spot. While he could sniff around you guys, he would never see me coming.”

However, Elijah’s expression changed in the next minute and he looked at Arianna seriously, “You promise me that it’s just one meeting and there is no foul play because trust me, we are on shaky ground with the Luciano family...”

“I promise on my life, I’m not going to try anything funny,” Arianna swore on her life.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“Good,” Elijah seemed satisfied with her answer before he beckoned them to come closer as he whispered the plan to them.

.....

After a few minutes, the door was opened and each of them returned to the reception one at a time else Ezra sniffs around their disappearance and comes up with a hint of their plan. For once, Arianna has seen the light in the tunnel and she was not going to let anyone stop her.

“Where have you been?” Ezra asked Mimi as soon as she returned.

She turned to him and at the same opted for a glass of water instead of the tempting champagne from the passing waiters. Pregnancy was a bummer.

“Well, I went to have a leak, and do you know that needing to pee more often than usual can be an irritating symptom of pregnancy that can happen as your growing baby puts more pressure on your bladder? I mean of all places my baby should exert pressure, why my bladder?” Mimi blabbered, watching the way Ezra’s expression changed to a shocked one. He never saw that one coming.

“Y-you’re pregnant?” His eyes were wide as his eyes properly scanned her this time, resting on her stomach.

“Yeah, surprise, right?” Mimi said as if it was not a huge deal.

Ezra swallowed uneasily, “I need to get a drink?”

“Sure,” Mimi said, sitting down, “And I’ll be here waiting for you to return, my friend,” She cackled evilly knowing that he was never returning.

As for Elijah, he went back to drinking alone when Arianna approached him again.

“What now?” He sighed exasperatedly.

“I spoke with Adele the day Marcel broke up with me.”

“And?”

“She asked me to give you the middle finger if I saw you,” And just as instructed by Adele, Arianna gave him.

“Not funny,” He said wryly.

Just like that, silence descended as both of them kept to themselves, watching the celebration going on around them.

“You love her, don’t you?” Arianna asked all of a sudden.

Elijah pulsed his lips, “And you pry too much,”

“You are going to need more than an apology and a few words if you are going to get her back” Arianna sighed, “Nonetheless, you need to fight for her, the same way I am doing for Marcel even though I’m not even sure he would come back to me. It almost seems as if we are cursed at love or something?”

“Well, unlike you and Marcel, my situation is direr. So thanks for the advice and I’m not cursed. It’s merely my decision and I say I’m better on my own. ” Elijah said.

“Shit yourself then,” Arianna said, returning to watch the wedding party and there was a slight commotion because it was time for her mother to throw the bouquet.

Stupid culture, that was what Arianna thought until her mother threw the bouquet and everything happened quicker than her eyes could comprehend. One moment, Arianna was standing there with nothing in hand, and the next, the bouquet dropped right into her hand as if it had fallen right from heaven.

A God-sent.

A sign.

While the others jubilated at the result, her mother stood, her feet stuck to the ground with a slightly horrified expression. If this was indeed a sign from heaven, perhaps it should have come at a later time because right now, her mother was staring at her suspiciously. Almost as if she could see through her plans.

Well, if this was a sign from heaven, that means no one would be able to stop her from being with Marcel. Thank you Jesus for this wonderful sign. Arianna promised not to let the almighty down after giving her this second chance.

Hence, Arianna took the bouquet and lifted it in the air as the winner and the guest erupted in celebration. Well, except for her mother who struggled to chill and thank God for her wonderful husband, Eric who tried to take her mind off it. It was a mere bouquet, it was not like her daughter was getting married tomorrow.

And finally the moment, Arianna has been waiting for arrived, time for the couple to leave for their honeymoon. Arianna couldn’t remember the number of advice her mother gave her because she filtered the whole thing. Her mind was made up.

Hence, while everyone was busy waving at the couples on their way to their honeymoon, Arianna slipped into the parking lot without anyone noticing and located the car Elijah told her. She opened the trunk and entered inside before closing it.

Mission accomplished.

Now, it was left for Elijah to get her out of here. Arianna prayed that he doesn’t change his mind at the last minute.
