BETROTHED TO A MISANDRIST - CHAPTER 14&15
≈ MISSING ≈
EVENING°°
Yolanda arrived her mansion to meet her dad seated on the couch, watching a programme on the TV, obviously waiting for her.
Hearing the clacking sounds of her heels, he needed no one to tell him that she has arrived. He turned to her.
“Yoyo.” He called.
“I told you to stop calling me that! Why are you here??” She asked instead.
“When has it become a crime to visit my daughter??” He asked and she shook her head, dropping her bag on the couch.
Camila already left, giving them time to themselves.
“You know anyone hearing this from you now will think that you’re a good man but you’re not. Stop pretending to be coz that will never change the way I see you. Stop it!! You two should stop it, stop acting like you care, you’ve already ruined my life and I’m grateful for that so you all please leave me to live in peace even though there is no peace, please!!” She clasped her hands together as tears rolled down her eyes.
Mr Adams eyes were already becoming teary as well, she was right. He caused it, they caused it… Him and his wife caused everything.
Now they were regretting it and wish to make it up to her but they already lost that sweet daughter, it was already late. Very late.
“You’re right… h@?? us, I won’t blame you for it… We weren’t good parents, we realized late so we wanna make amend. You will be happy if you forget the past, that’s why we think it will be best for you to get married.” He tried to see things with her.
“Selfishness!! Another selfishness!! What do I expect?? I’m no more interested in forgetting my past, I don’t need you guys help, just leave me alone… f_cking leave me alone, please!!! ” She yelled before running away, upstairs, cleaning the stairs that were rolling down her eyes.
Mr Adams couldn’t hold in the tears anymore… She h@??d them now, they messed up a big time. The tears rolled down freely from his eyes.
Yesenia came out of where she was hiding with a big smile on her face she heard everything they said…
Wow!! Just wow!! So her parents are also behind everything. This is more interesting than she thought. She smirked before walking away, to her room.

UNKNOWN°°
She came out of her bathroom, dabbing her soaked hair with a towel. She was already dressed in a loose pajamas.
She walked to her mirror and stood in front of it, she sat down before taking ber blow dryer, she plugged it in a socket and turned it on. She began blow drying her hair.
Her mind wavered back to the incident earlier on. She almost got caught.
≈ FLASHBACK ≈
“You berra kÃll her or I’ll do it on my own. End Yolanda Adams or I do it without your help. Do wh@??ver you can but Yolanda Adams must dÃe…” Her eyes widened when she heard a gasp behind her.
She didn’t hear when the door turned open.
She slowly turned around to see the person and she gasped immediately. Her throat went dry and her heart jumped out of her chest went to her stomach to stay.
Did the person hear anything?? That was the only question that rang on her head as she stared at the intruder who was gaping in shock.
It was obvious the person heard everything.
“Whoa!!! Such a dangerous world, so this has always been your mission, to kîll the boss??…” The person asked, calling her the name she used to call her.
“What are you doing here??” She asked the intruder.
“Doing?? Haha… I was only walking past when I decided to stop by and I heard you… Maybe God wanted me to hear you because…” The person shrugged, smiled wryly.
Bella glared at her, she felt like kÃlling her right now but she couldn’t.
“Boss will be very excited if I give her this news and who knows, she might increase my salary and give me a promotion… Whoa!!” She giggled and Bella smirked.
“You’re such a fool you know, what makes you think that boss will listen to you?? What evidence do you have?? What??” She smirked, walking towards her.
“Tell me??” She asked and the girl gulped in nothing.
What was she thinking?? She’s such a fool indeed.
“I can kîll you if I want to! I can kîll who whoever stands in my way of eliminating Yolanda, you know not what she did to me and you have no right to spill what you heard otherwise bid your mom a good bye.” She smirked and the girl widened her eyes.
“Don’t be surprised?? I know your mom is very sick and you need money for her surgery, I will give you the money and you will forever keep shut, got it??!” The girl slowly nodded.
She was already scared of her, how did she know of her mom??
Bella smirked before walking away.
‘What have I gotten myself into??’ the girl thought inwardly.
≈ FLASHBACK ENDS ≈
That fool! She should have done something about her, she can’t trust anyone.
She thought before placing the blowdryer on the table, feeling her hair which was already dried.
She stood up and went to climb her bed to sleep.

NEXT DAY**
“Come in.” Her husk voice responded to the soft knock and the door opened and Mrs Gonzà lez walked in.
“My beautiful daughter-in-law!!” She squealed rushing to her. She turned the chair and pulled her into a tight hug, she pulled out almost immediately and stood Yolanda up.
She started placing kisses on her face and Yolanda scowled her face in disgust.
“It feels so good getting to touch you, you’re really beautiful, swears.” She affirmed and Yolanda stared speechlessly at her.
Who the heck let this woman in?? And she told her come in.
Really?? She was in for a drama.
“Au…nt…” She managed to call.
“Call me mom, you’re getting married to my son in four days.” She said as she sat on the table.
“What are you doing??” She asked.
“Don’t tell you’re blind, I’m sitting of course.” She said rashly.
That was rude! How dare she talk to her like that? She thought inwardly before sitting back.
“So how may I help you?” She asked, as politely as possible.
“You ain’t helping me dummy, we’re gonna buy your wedding gown.” She told her and Yolanda frowned deeply.
First, she referred to her as blind, now dummy… Seriously?? And wait… Did she just say wedding gown?? This woman must be joking.
“Why did you wanna buy a wedding gown??” She asked.
“Excuse me… Are you planning on wearing night gown for your wedding or perhaps a mortality gown??”
“Aunt??” She flinched, why would she say that…
“I was thinking so, since you acted like you don’t need a wedding gown so I thought I should get a mortality gown.” She teased while Yolanda glared.
It wasn’t funny at all.
“So are we going or not??” Mrs Gonzà lez asked.
“Nah… We’re going no where.” She frowned.
“You love joking, you should know I’m a clown or didn’t Miguel tell you that?” She asked and Yolanda eyes widened.
Mrs Gonzà lez stood and took her laptops, her phone and other necessary items and scattered it around her office.
“Aunt!!!” She cried as the woman turned her office to a mess, she scattered everything.
The chair she was sitting on was now laying upside down.
“So now… Can we go??” She smirked.
‘Gosh! When Lucifer is unable to get to you, he sends Mrs Gonzà lez… She had work to do for crying out loud!!!
“Au…” Mrs Gonzà lez dragged her out of the office before she could even think of completing her word.
Immediately Mrs Gonzà lez opened the door, Miguel fell into her office.
Seems like, he was leaning on the door when they opened it, so…
“f_ck!!” He groaned as he landed on the floor. Mars Gonzà lez laughed.
Yolanda eyes widened in wonderment, what sort of family is this?? She thought staring in amusement.
She trying so much not to laugh but she couldn’t, she laughed… She f_cking laughed.
For the first time in how many years. Miguel and Mrs Gonzà lez paused what they were doing to hear her melodious laughter.
It sounded so nice to hear.
She stopped laughing to see them staring at her and her face flushed in embarrassment.
“Please laugh again, your laugh is like music to my ears.” Miguel said staring at her, dreamily.
“You silly son of mine, what are you doing here??” Mrs Gonzà lez questioned, with her hands akimbo.
“Mom… She’s my wife, I have every right to see her.” He whined standing up. He went to stand beside her but Mrs Gonzà lez dragged Yolanda to herself.
‘Oh God!’ Yolanda cried inwardly.
“She’s not your wife yet, wait till you two get married.” His mom retorted.
“No mom, she’s my wife… Go meet your husband.” He dragged her to his side.
“How dare you?? This boy you now talk back at me… Give her to me!” She yelled and dragged her to side.
“Mom?? Why are dragging my wife with me??” He questioned and dragged her, Mrs Gonzà lez dragged her back…
Like that, they began dragging her like she was a commodity. ‘Oh God! What did I do to this people??” She cried inwardly as they kept dragging her.
“Enough!!!” She yelled but they ignored her, dragging her by her arms.
“Leave her to me!”
“No you leave her to me!”.
“Leave her now!!”
WEDDING DAY°°
<WEDDING HALL>
Tension was beginning to rise in the church, the guest were already tired of waiting.
The look of impatience could clearly be seen on their face.
Has he elope on his wedding day coz most people do it… Why was he keeping them waiting??
The bride was standing alone waiting for her prospective groom but he was no where to be found.
Inside a room, Miguel’s parents and that of Yolanda could be seen in there. The two women were clearly panicking.
“Did he pick??” Mrs Gonzà lez asked Mr Gonzà lez immediately he dropped his phone.
“No Rosé, the call couldn’t connect.” He said frustratedly.
“Damnit!! Where the f_ck could Miguel possibly have gone??” Gael questioned rhetorically.
“Oh goodness!! Why today of all days??” Mrs Gonzà lez cried.
“Could he have possibly elope??” Mrs Adams spoke up, she was worried as well.
Miguel was missing and two things where involved… Their reputation and his welfare.
“I don’t think so Aunty. Miguel was very excited about this wedding, he can’t elope and I don’t think he could be f_cking a bÃtch… The only option my mind keeps telling me is what I don’t wanna believe.” Gael shook his head negatively.
It can’t be, right??
“What is it?? Tell me!!” Mrs Gonzà lez urged him.
“It’s just my thoughts, I’m not sure of it.” He told her.
“I wanna know at that, tell me right now.” She pressed further.
“Well Aunty, I don’t wanna believe it but I think Miguel has been abdúcted.” He told her and she froze.
“What are you saying Gael?? What do you mean by abdúcted?? He can’t possibly be!!” Mr Gonzà lez yelled and he shook his head.
“That’s why I said I’m not sure, you know how unserious Miguel can be about important lifetime decision, maybe he went out for a stroll and will be back soon.” Gael explained, trying to calm the pressure he caused.
Just then, Mr Adams phone rang. He picked up immediately he saw the caller.
“Yes… Really… Where… I’m coming right away, wait for me there.” He said to the caller.
“Who was it??” They chorused immediately he ended the call.
“The person who I asked to trace Miguel’s location, he found a clue of where he could be.” Mr Adams answered them.
“Really??” Mrs Gonzà lez asked, her eyes lit up in excitement.
“Yeah… Gael where did you say you left Miguel again??” Mr Adams asked.
“I left him at home, we were both coming when he left something back home so he went to pick it while I drove down here knowing he was gonna come later.” He replied.
“Okay, let’s go.” He said.
“I want to come with you.” Mr and Mrs Gonzà lez said.
“You two can’t come with me to avoid raising a suspicious eye… Martinéz can come while you women stay back and take care of things here.” He said and they nodded.
He left with Gael and Martinéz while Rosè and Isa stayed back.
“That obnoxious son of mine… Why is he doing this??” She whimpered.
“It’s alright Rose, he’s fine so let’s go back to the hall and wait for them to arrive.” Isa said and she nodded.
They both left the room.
°°
The anger boiling inside of Yolanda could heat water. She was so angry, frustrated and irritated.
First, they were making her get married and now, they were keeping her standing on the altar for hours like a hopeless wanderer.
She hissed loudly. Camila could feel her anger. She knew how much she was trying her best not to react right now.
But why would her Miguel keep her standing on the altar?? If he was not ready for the wedding again, he could simply call it off rather than keeping her stand hopelessly on the altar.
Just then Mrs Gonzà lez and Mrs Adams appeared and apologized for the delay before turning to the priest.
“Ma’am, what’s keeping your son?? This is not the only programme we have today.” He told her.
“I apologize for the delay, you know how boys of this generation behave… They never tend to take things seriously and my son-in-law is one of them.” Mrs Adams said.
“An unserious fellow will always remain unserious while forcing him to become serious.” Yolanda chipped in, removing her veil.
“Yolanda??”
“I’m done with this freaking wedding… When the unserious fellow arrive he can get married to my PA.” She told, throwing away her bouquet, she packed a handful of her gown and began walking out of the church.
“Oh my!”
“This is it!!”
“The wedding is over!!”
“I just wasted my time!!”
Murmurs filled the hall as she walked out.
