The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 70

“ Work on my face, come on don't be slow ” I swore to the make up artist who was making up my face. I don't even know where she came from. Left to me, I would have requested for Juli but Mrs. Thompson said she's good. I hope she is!

Today was my wedding, I couldn't help being proud of how far I've come and endured. I rub my hands gently on my stomach and turned to look at my wedding gown which was already on the dress stand.

“ Congratulations, Deborah” Diana's sweet voice exclaimed from the doorway as I turned to stare at her with a smile on my face too. She came over today to help me dress. I'm so grateful for her coming as I had dreaded mom helping today.

“ Thank you, Diana. How's Michael?” I asked her slowly pretending that I wasn't a bit curious. I wanted to know if he had pulled out of the wedding or had said anything to them.

“ He's good. He's getting ready and very excited about this wedding. I think our Michael is back ” Diana blabbers on with a smile on her face, she gushes over how beautiful my skin is and how she loves the makeup on my face.

I tuned out on her as I focused on what she had just told me. How can Michael be happy with our wedding? Has he changed his mind? Or Does he really love me?

“Who is going to be your bridesmaid?” Diana asked me, I came out of my inner battle to look at her.

“ I wanted Nina but she's not okay!” I told her, shrugging. Diana looked at me with a frown on her face like she couldn't believe that I asked Nina to be my bridesmaid.

“ You'll need someone to be your bridesmaid. Who could that be? Oh yes! I have the perfect person. Give me a minute” Diana exclaimed as she ran out of the door.

I turned to gasp at her retreating back. Hope she isn't getting Lilian for me cause I hate her just as much as I hate Nina.

“ The make up is done Miss. Melton ” The makeup lady called to me, smiling as she appreciated her hand work. I stood up without saying anything to her and went to put on my dress while she wordlessly packed her products into the box with a frown on her face.

I had finished putting on my gown and was about to zip up my dress when the door opened, Mom walked in a blue straight gown with a gold purse in her hands. She nodded at the makeup artist who greeted her and made her way to me.

She dropped her purse on my bed, while I stood unmoving watching her with my eyes across the mirror. She came over to help me zip up and turn me around to look at me “ You look so beautiful Deborah. I'm sure your Mom will be so proud of you ” she called to me, her voice a soft whisper in my ears.

This was the first time she has ever spoken to me in that tone. It was a change from her usual harsh time.

“ I wish you best of luck, and hope you stay in Thompson's house ” She continued gently chastising me on what to do and what not to do. I'm sure dad must have begged her to come see me but I'm surprised that she accepted.

“ Ops! I'm sorry for interrupting the mother and daughter moment between the two of you ” Diana called from the doorway as we both turned to look at her. A lady with high cheek bone and pointed nose was beside her looking out of place. I've met her before but I can't really say where?

“ Deborah met Mika, Andrea's girlfriend. She has agreed to be your bridesmaid ” Diana came into the room, she introduced us with a smile on her face.

“Oh!” I exclaim, suddenly remembering meeting her with Andrea one certain time.

“Nice to meet you Mika and thank you for wanting to be my bridesmaid ” I told her looking at her all over just like my mom, she was also dressed in a blue straight gown with a flare at the knee. A gold embroidery was at her breast pocket.

“ Then, we'll leave you both to get ready, ” Diana said about leaving the room. She dragged my mom off with her.

“ I will get your dad to come excort you ” Mom called out to me before closing the door.

I nodded to Mika and went to get my silver shoes from the closet, putting it on. I turned to stare at Mika who was helping me to arrange the flare at the back of the gown.

“ Do you know if Michael has arrived?” I asked her. I don't why I'm being paranoid but I can't help it but worry that Michael might stand me off at the altar. I don't know what I'll do if that should happen.

“ Relax ” Mika called out to me by tapping my shoulder lightly, I forced a smile on my face while bracing myself for her response.

“ Michael is around, he arrived thirty minutes ago with Danny and Andrea ” Mika replied offering me a smile. I nodded at her as I walked closer to stare out of the window, I could see everyone rushing down to the cathedral which was not far from my house.

My eyes scanned the crowd for Michael but he was not in anywhere. Maybe he has gone into the auditorium. I replace the curtain and walked back into the room to see my dad coming in looking handsome as ever in a blue suit and a gold shirt underneath.

“ Look at my pretty daughter ” Dad smiled as he came over to hug me. I love my father so much. Today wouldn't have happened without him by my side.

“ Dad, ” I called to him peckung him on the cheeks, which caused my dad to laugh excitedly.
