“Enough!!! I’m going to marry Jeff, and that is final. If you are not okay with it Grandma, please leave the house and after the marriage, you can come back” Jessica said and walked away angrily.
“Okay I’m out of here,” Arianna said as she stood up and went to Jessica’s room. She planted a soft knock on the door and Jessica opened the door.
“Hey,” she muttered as she walked inside the room, closing the door behind her.
“That was such good acting. She bought it, she thinks you are in love with Jeff” Arianna said Jessica laughed and just then she caught a glimpse of the wedding dress on the bed.
“Is that my wedding dress I wore the day I got married to your father?” Arianna asked as she picked up the dress, staring at it with a smile on her face. Memories of the wedding came to her head.
“Yes, I kept it, ” Jessica said and Arianna turned to her and hugged her.
“This is supposed to be the happiest moment of my life where I marry the man of my dreams” Jessica muttered. Arianna became speechless.
This is a time every girl dreams of and it should be with the man they love. Jessica was hurting so badly.
“Do you want me to call off the wedding?” Arianna asked
“No, you saw how he acted cool today pretending he loves me when he knows he’s using me.
No, I’m not going to end this wedding. It’s going to happen” Jessica said and just then she heard her phone vibrate.
“And now, my so-called fiancé is back with his lawyers,” Jessica said and stood up before walking out of the room and going downstairs to meet Jeff.
“You are back with your lawyers,” Jessica said and Jeff nodded in response as he smiled and kissed Jessica.
“Time to make this thing official, you ready?” he said smiling and Jessica laughed.
“I have been waiting and fantasizing about this moment my entire life,” Jessica said and Jeff stared into her eyes. She was looking so happy.
“First, I have got a surprise for you,” Jeff said as he brought out some files from his bag and gave them to Jessica.
“I got you a land where you can set up the publishing company you have always dreamt of. Alongside with 35% shares of the Mikealson’s company,” Jeff said and Jessica stared at him surprised.
“Why the sudden burst of charity?” Jessica asked as she stared at the files.
“Consider it my first task as your spouse, making you happy. But I do have an ulterior rationale.
I want you to give me 35% of Colby co in return” Jeff said as he took the files from Jessica and put them back in his bag.
“And why is that?” Jessica asked
“That this ridiculous family battle is over,” Jeff said
“But I will have to wait until after the wedding to get the company and the shares,” Jessica said in response.
“Sure,” Jeff said in response and Jessica smiled.
“Then let’s wait, I think we have ourselves a deal, ” Jessica said
“And a sweet marriage,” Jeff said in response and they both laughed.
Meanwhile, Hannah is seen standing upstairs staring at both Jeff and Jessica while they speak.
Just then Arianna walked and stood beside her.
“He’s so good at pretending,” Arianna said as she started at Jeff
“That’s one of his specialties, ” Hannah said in response as she stared at Jeff with pure hatred in her eyes.
All the memories of the past ran through her mind, she remembered how she caught him and Rhoda in bed and he didn’t feel guilty about it.
He made her lose her job and everything, he practically ruined her life, she thought as she tighter her fist.
Arianna placed her hands on hers and she became calmed instantly.
“He’s going to pay for everything he did. This is the best time to get your revenge on him” Arianna said and Hannah nodded in response.
*********Wedding Day **********
A lot of people could be seen in the Colby’s mansion, eating and drinking, while also familiarizing with each other.
Krystal had just arrived with Dave.
“Maid of honor duties calling, I have to go find the bride,” Krystal said and kissed Dave on his cheeks before walking away.
Jeff has arrived with his mom. David didn’t come with them, they left him with a family friend of theirs.
“Brandon” Jeff called as he saw Brandon talking to some men.
“Hey, you are here,” Brandon said and Jeff nodded.
Jeff took two glasses of drinks and gave one to Brandon.
“Cheers to a new beginning, ” he said and they both cheered and drank.
“The wedding is about to start,” Brandon said as everyone started moving to the reception.
Meanwhile, Jessica is seen in her room putting on a wedding dress while the makeup artist beautifies her face.
Krystal was with her encouraging her and telling her how beautiful she was looking.
When they were done, they left, Jessica all alone in the room. Jessica sighed softly as she stared at her reflection in the mirror.
Just then she saw Hannah standing by the door, staring at her.
“Are you gonna keep staring at me or walk in? ” Jessica said and Hannah smiled and walked in.
“You look beautiful, ” Hannah said as she stood behind Jessica.
“How are you feeling?” she asked and Jessica sighed softly.
“This is supposed to be the happiest day of my life.
This is a day every little girl dreams of, but now it is a nightmare” Jessica said
“If you want me to go out there and call off the wedding, I will do so. You don’t have to do this. Just tell me anything you want me to do” Hannah said and Jessica paused and then stared at Hannah.
“No, you don’t need to end the wedding, I need your help on something else,” Jessica said and Hannah nodded in response.
She then brought out a paper for Hannah to sign which she signed. Just then Arianna walked inside the room.
“It’s time for the bride to walk in,” Arianna said as she walked inside the room.
Jessica, who was looking so nervous, stood up and took a deep breath, before walking out of the room.
She was getting married to the man she hates today, and everything about her life is about to change.
