THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

‘Hello, everyone. My name is Ellie and I am a representative of Lions Fashion Group. I will be taking you through the collaboration process today. We will kick start the process right away but before we dive right into the business, I will like to appreciate you all for taking your time to attend this event. You all are wonderful and unique people’, Ellie said, which made everyone applaud her. This got Sophia angry as that was not what she had anticipated.

‘Thank you, everyone. So, we will be kick-starting right away. But I am so sorry I will be disappointing everyone today as I have a confession to make’, Ellie said in a sad voice which got the audience confused and they wondered what she was talking about. Edward on the other hand, wondered what trick Ellie was trying to pull.

‘What is that witch trying to pull?’, Sophia had thought.

‘Actually, the initial designs and dresses which were suppose to be presented today were not made by me neither by our Fashion Team’, Ellie said, which made everyone gasped.

‘What the hell is she doing? Is she trying to ruin everything now?’, Allison said to Daniel who ignored her.

‘What is she up to? Is this part of the presentation?’, Daniel asked Edward, who was standing beside him. Edward was confused as they never discussed anything relating to that.

‘She is digging her own grave. What a beautiful scene to watch!!!!’, Sophia said, smiling.

‘Actually, my mum used to be a Designer and I had always been inspired to be one by her. Even when she died 10 years ago, I still continued practicing to perfect my sketches and designs. But some events happened after her death that made me give up on designing. I had the phobia for designing as it brought back the memories of my painful past whenever I engaged myself in it. Hence, the reason I gave up on it. When the process of the collaboration started and some designs were needed , I felt like I couldn’t do it and so, I sought for the help of an outsider who is also a designer. Everything was going on well with her until less than 24 hours ago when she was nowhere to be found at the time she was supposed to have the dresses delivered’, Ellie said, with the audience and the press focusing on her and listening intently.

‘With no way out, I decided to give it a try and resume back to what I had loved doing the most. When I first held the pencil yesterday, I felt scared but at last, I was able to overcome my fear. I am glad to inform yo that I made the dresses i will be presenting today and I will confidently unveil them today because I know they are my work. Now that I have revealed the truth, my mind feels free of the burden of lying. I will also like to say a special thanks to someone. The one who is behind the Designer’s disappearance and the one who made me do what I had thought I would never be do again. I owe my success to her today. Thank you, Sophia Porous. Thank you for making me overcome my fear’, Ellie said, looking in the direction of Sophia and smiling. The audience also turned to look at Sophia and the press also focused on her, ready to make an headline. Sophia, who was already fuming with anger managed to smile when she noticed everyone’s attention was on her.

‘That’s my girl’, Edward said, when he realized Ellie had just put Sophia in a tough spot.

‘She actually tried to ruin her father-in-law’s company? What a wife!!!’, one of the audience murmured and in no time, others too joined, commenting on Sophia’s bad behavior. Ellie smiled on realizing she had successfully achieved her aim and which Sophia saw.

‘May I have your attention everyone?’, Elle said into the microphone which made everyone turned back to her.

‘Since everything is cleared now, shall we proceed?’, Ellie said smiling and at the same time clapped her hands, as if passing a message to someone. As soon as she clapped her hands, the curtains were drawn and the dresses were being brought onto the stage.

‘So, let us begin’, Ellie said, as soon as everything was set. She unveiled all the dresses and their beauties made the audience astonished.

‘She actually made these? How did she?’, Sophia murmured to herself, on seeing the well tailored dresses.

Ellie took her time to explain how each of the dresses was made and the inspiration behind the dresses. As she explained, Clinton couldn’t take his eyes off her as he was drawn to her. He had fallen in love with her the first day he met her at Cheetahs but couldn’t express his feelings to her. But what everyone didn’t know was that, Clinton was going to give them a show to tell that day. Natalia eyes too were on her and she couldn’t help but to see a replica of her daughter on the stage. The way she moved and spoke were just like that of her daughter. If not that she had not seen the birth mark on her daughter’s neck on Ellie’s neck, she would had believed her to be her daughter.

‘She is quite good’, Daniel said and which Edward heard as he watched Ellie.

‘With this, I have come to the end of my presentation and I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for your time. And to Mr. & Mrs. Evans, I apologize for deceiving you. Thank you once again, everyone’, Ellie said, walking away from the stage. She was appreciated by the audience with a standing ovation.

‘You have done so well, baby’, Edward said to Ellie, upon her getting to his side.

‘Thank you. It’s all thanks to your support’, Ellie responded, smiling.

‘Now, it’s time to welcome Mr. & Mrs. Evans on stage. Can we all please give them a standing ovation?’, the Master of the Ceremony said and which the audience did as both Collins and Natalia walked up to the stage

‘Thank you everyone for taking your time to witness our son’s birthday celebration and our collaboration with the Lions Fashion Group. Before we begin the signing of the agreement, I have some few words to say. I must say, I love Miss Ellie’s confidence. She is so honest and truthful. Before I met her personally, my wife had told me a lot about her and I had never seen my wife being so obsessed with someone like that on their first meeting. Even the first day I met my wife, she was so harsh towards me and which made me kind of wondered what is so special about Ellie that made my wife fall in love with her. But the day I finally met with Ellie, I couldn’t also help but have a liking for her and then, I realized that she is someone that no one would ever be able to resist with that her beautiful smile. For what she had done today, she has earned my respect because it takes a few to publicly come out and state their weaknesses when they know they would be criticized. And I will like to congratulate you for overcoming your fear. If you do not mind, can you come on stage with Mr. Lion and his son, Edward to complete the collaboration process?’, Collins asked, facing Ellie.

Ellie, Daniel and Edward went on stage as requested and the collaboration process was completed after each party appended their signatures on the agreement. Daniel too gave his speech, after which they left the stage, leaving behind Natalia and Collins. As Ellie was about to leave the stage, she was stopped by Collins.

‘Do you mind staying behind, Miss Ellie? My son has a few things to say which involves you’, Collins said, which got Ellie confused as to what was about to happen.

‘I will like to invite my son onto the stage as he has one or two things to say’, Collins said and soon afterwards, Clinton made his way onto the stage,

‘Hello, everyone. Thank you for taking your time out to celebrate my new age with me today. I really do appreciate. I want to use this medium to make my intention of getting married soon known’, Clinton said, which got everyone surprised. The press was focused on him as they were surprised by his announcement

‘Actually, I met this lady some months back and the first time I set my eyes on her, I fell in love with her. I didn’t know how to make my feelings known to her and so, I kept her by my side as a friend But today, I want to change everything’, Collins said, making everyone eager while some said: ‘What? It is a one-sided love? What if the lady doesn’t feel the same?’.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

‘In front of you all, I am going to propose to the lady I have always wished for to be mine’, Clinton said, taking out a small box which was enclosed in it, a diamond ring.

‘Who could the lady be? Does anyone have an idea?’, the reporters and the audience murmured among themselves.

Walking towards her and kneeling in front of her, Clinton took out the ring and said:

‘I have always loved you since the day I met you and had always looked for the perfect avenue to make this known to you. Ellie, will you be the woman that I will spend the rest of my life loving and cherishing? The woman I will watch as our kids grow up together?’. Clinton said to Ellie who was standing still, shocked by what was happening. Edward on the other hand, watched from where he was standing with his eyes wide opened, trying to digest what was going on.

Do you think Ellie will agree to be Clinton’s wife? Is Edward going to allow that to happen?
