OURACLE
PRESIDENT'S OFFICE
"Boss, we managed to get Mrs Dave and Ms Samantha's signatures on the transfer documents....." Shaun reported to his boss Draken who'd returned to the office.
"They didn't even realize how we did it....those two were too easy to fool..." Erick added.
The three men were so cunning and could get away with anything they wanted.
"Right now, half of the shares of Dave Corp are under your name... legally, you now own Dave Corp" Erick continued to say.
"I wonder how they'll react when they find out, they lost their company and how they underestimated Emma" Draken said.
"Transfer those shares again to Emma's name... after all, they belong to her. This is just the beginning of my revenge on that family"Draken added.
"Right away, I'll have the lawyers do their work ... everything will be ready by tonight" Shaun replied before he left.
"Boss, I have more information on Mrs Dave, apparently she gambles....but no one knows about it, not even her husband." Erick said.
"She's lost millions while gambling, laundering money from Dave Corp" Erick had done his homework.
Everything he found out was going to be useful.
No wonder she kept on insisting about the alliance with the Hunts, she wanted to cover up her cheap acts...and replace the money before anyone realized.
"I want to see my brother don't stop me!!" David burged into the office.
"I'm sorry sir, I tried to stop him but....." Draken secretary tried to apologize, but he cut her off.
"It's okay, he can come...get back to work"Draken said.
He dismissed Erick too, and it was just the two of them in the office.
"What do you want David?" He asked.
"You've been trying to avoid me...I need to talk to you" David replied.
"Say it" Draken simply said.
"I'm going to get married to Samantha tomorrow it won't be long before I take Ouracle back from you"David replied.
"Same old thing, you seriously think that marrying Sam will help you get back Ouracle, then you're not as smart as I thought" Draken said.
He clearly mocked him and underestimated him.
"Do whatever you want...but you're not going to beat me" Draken smirked.
"I know about Emma, she's your trump card isn't she? The elder daughter of the Daves" David replied.
Draken was waiting for him to say that.
"I don't want to use Emma like you want to use Samantha....I like Emma, I find her interesting" Draken said.
"Too bad, she's already married!"David replied with confidence.
"Do you even know her husband?" Draken was enjoying this way too much.
"You don't, right..he could be dead, or gone missing..." He hinted at the man he'd killed...but David couldn't even realize what he meant.
"Point is, I can still pursue her...or even marry her, and you know what that means right?" Draken smirked again.
Emma was the rightful owner to everything.
Draken had David pinned from all angles and there was nothing he could do.
"Enjoy your last days being a bachelor brother, I hope you'll still be alive by then to get married.... something bad might happen to you" Draken openly threatened him.
"Are you threatening me?" David asked.
"Did I say that? You must have heard me wrong.... but if that's what you think, I won't stop you..."Draken replied.
David could sense the tension, something wasn't right.
Would Draken try to kill him like he tried to get rid of him before?
Impossible.
"If you're done, you can leave.... I'm a very busy man" Draken continued to say... showing him the way out.
David stormed out of the office and Erick came back inside.
"Erick, I need you to organize a wedding,two weddings for tomorrow.....invite everyone, including the board and the media" Draken happily said.
"Sure boss, but who's going to get married?"Erick asked confused.
"Me, and my brother"Draken simply replied.
It was obvious he was planning something, getting married on the same day as David and Sam.
LATER
THE CAFÉ
Emma sat silently behind the counter at the café, remembering what Draken had promised her, after their conversation.
SHORT FLASHBACK
"I'm ready to go public with our relationship, but what about Dave Corp, I still haven't got it back from Sam and her mom" Emma worriedly said.
"Don't worry Emma, I'll get back everything that belongs to you, just trust me"Draken replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
She kept on wondering how Draken was going to get back her mom's company for her.
"Emma, table 7 asked for you again"Ruby's voice brought her back to reality.
She went out to table seven.....it was Samantha.
"Sit down sis" Sam said.
"What do you want now Sam?" Emma asked as she sat down.
"It's your mom's death anniversary, but you still came to work, I really admire your spirit" Sam replied.
"Get to the point, don't talk about my mother" Emma angrily said.
"Just calm down, I'm not here to argue...I came here to invite you to my wedding tomorrow... here's the invitation" Sam replied, sliding the card over the table to her.
"You're getting married again, to David Hunt?" Emma asked puzzled.
"The last time I called it off, this time it's real...and I want you to be there" Sam replied.
"You never know, you might find yourself a husband too" she added.
"Sam I don't need your help in trying to find a husband....many congratulations but I won't be able to make it"
She didn't like David, especially after what Draken told her about him.
"In case you change your mind, you have the invitation with you....goodbye" Sam said before she stood up and left.
Emma stared at the invitation and felt sad, she didn't even have a decent wedding with Draken...still Sam beat her to it.
Just then, in her moment of sadness, Draken appeared and sat across her.
"Why is my wife sad?" He asked gently.
"Draken? What are you doing here aren't you supposed to be at work?" Emma replied.
"I cleared out my schedule again for you...is this making you sad?" Draken noticed the wedding invitation in front of her.
"Yes, we didn't even have a decent wedding...I feel bad" Emma replied sadly.
Draken stood up from his seat and held Emma's hand, pulling her up as well.
"Don't be sad Emma, we'll have our own wedding... tomorrow" he whispered.
"I don't understand.." Emma was confused the more.
"Don't worry, I'll explain everything...for now, we need to go for shopping and buy a wedding dress, and everything else you'll need" Draken said.
"My bride has to be the most beautiful tomorrow"he added.
DAVE MANSION
"What do you mean you'll be organizing my daughter's wedding?" Sam's mom snapped at Erick, who'd shown up unannounced.
"Mrs Dave, calm down...it's not just your daughter's wedding, my boss' brother will be getting married too. You should let us take care of it, after all you don't have the funds" Erick replied.
"I... I...I don't know what you're talking about" Sam's mom said, she stammered.
Clearly she was trying to hide something.
"Mrs Dave, you don't have to worry, my boss is willing to spend money for your daughter to have a grand wedding....just appreciate and let us do our work" Erick replied.
"Fine, do whatever you want" Sam's mom didn't stress the issue.
She was already guilty about gambling the money and Draken planned to use that guilt against her.
He wasn't planning Sam's wedding, he was planning his wedding with Emma, this would be the greatest shock of their lives....a joint wedding, but with Emma as the center of attraction.
"Thank you Mrs Dave, I'll take my leave now" Erick replied before he left.
DRAKEN'S PRIVATE DESIGNER
"This one, will it do?" Emma asked Draken as they both looked through the wedding gown designs.
"None of them will do" Draken replied.
"Erika, I want the latest design, I don't care about the cost" Draken told his private designer.
"Here's the latest design, I call it the heart of Venus, because it's made with pure diamonds....the texture and fitting is just fine and will do for Mrs Hunt" Erika showed them the best wedding gown there was.
"I'd preserved it specifically for your wife" she added.
"Draken, isn't too expensive? You shouldn't waste so much money on me" Emma said.
"Emma you deserve only the best, I'm willing to give you the entire world if I have to...this is nothing compared to everything I owe you" Draken replied.
"Erika, help her try it out" Draken added.
Emma didn't have a choice but to accept the gown.
"This way Mrs Hunt" Erika and her girls took Emma to the changing room.
As soon as Emma left, he received a text from Erick....his plan to organize the wedding had worked.
And he received another text from Shaun, the wedding ring he'd designed personally for Emma would be done and delivered by tomorrow morning.
"Mr Hunt, your suit is ready"
He also had to try out his custom made suit for tomorrow. He went to a separate changing room as well.
After a short while, both Draken and Emma stepped out of their separate changing rooms at the same time.
Their wedding outfits were matching...like an ideal husband and wife.
"How does she look?" Erika asked Draken.
Draken was speechless....no words could describe how gorgeous Emma looked.
"Say something"Emma added as well.
"Gorgeous, extremely beautiful" Draken let the words out after what seemed like an eternity.
"You're not so bad yourself" Emma implied to the suit he was wearing.
"Such a perfect couple, can you stand close to each other so I can take pictures of you" the wedding photographer said.
"Take as many as you need" Draken said, after pulling Emma close and holding her by her waist.
"Perfect, hold her like that" the photographer said.... taking their intimate pictures.
"Draken, I'm so happy right now...I'll finally have the wedding of my dreams" Emma got emotional.
She was getting too emotional the past few days...and couldn't explain why.
"There you go crying again...you'll ruin the pictures" Draken wiped her tears again.
"I can't help it, I'm sorry" Emma replied.
"Silly girl" Draken pulled her into his embrace.
AT THE HOSPITAL
Chairman Hunt's room
"You're getting married?" Chairman Hunt asked David standing before him.
"Yes dad, and since you'll be discharged tomorrow, I want you to be there" David replied.
"Congratulations, for once you've done something right" His dad said.
"Dad, why are you so hard on me, you don't treat me the same way you treat Draken" David replied.
"It's because your little brother is more sensible than you, I spoilt you too much while growing up, that's why you turned out like this" His dad said.
"You know what dad, I'll prove myself to you, to everyone that I can do something better ....better than Draken"David replied.
"I'm not comparing you two, you should learn from him instead....his way better than you" his dad said....before David stormed out of his room.
It was clear whose side he was on.... staying there to argue with him was pointless.
His own father saw him as a good for nothing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Your wedding gown has already been delivered to the house Sam, you should come hole and try it out" Sam's mom spoke to her over the phone.
"Mom, I'll be home soon, I'll try out the gown" Sam replied.
She was driving and was on her way back home.
"You should know, Draken is the one who's organizing your wedding with David" her mom said, and Sam instantly hit the brakes.
"What do you mean he's organizing the wedding?" Sam asked confused.
"It's his brother's wedding too, I had no choice but to let him.....he has the money" Sam's mom replied.
Sam was completely heartbroken again, Draken Hunt was organizing her wedding...she really had no chance with him. He wanted her to marry someone else.
"Ok mom, I understand...I'm on my way home" she started the car again and headed home.
MEANWHILE
"Draken, what are we doing here?" Emma asked.
They'd pulled up in front of the hospital.
"There's one more thing we need to do before tomorrow" Draken replied.
"What's that?" Emma continued to ask.
"Meet my dad" Draken replied, before they both got out of the car and went inside.
"You didn't tell me sooner, I'm so nervous, what if he doesn't like me?" Emma was afraid to face Draken's dad.
"You'll be fine, I'm here with you...he will like you, just as I like you" Draken comforted her.
This came as a surprise to her.
They reached Draken's dad's room and it was like he was waiting for them to come.
"Dad, we're here" Draken said.
"Emily, is that you?" Draken's dad asked as soon as he saw Emma.
"Dad, you've mistaken her for her mom, this is Emma, Emily's daughter...and my wife" Draken happily introduced Emma.
"Ni..ce to meet you sir" Emma was nervous.
"Silly girl, I'm your father in law, call me dad" Draken's dad had the same spirit as him.
"You're so beautiful and look so much like your mother Emily when she was your age" Draken's dad said.
"You knew my mom?" Emma asked.
"She was my best friend, and we'd promised each other that we'd get our children married...I thought that promise would never be fulfilled...but destiny brought you two together and look, you got married" Draken's dad replied.
"You two were inseparable when you were kids, even now.... you're inseparable"
It seemed that even in childhood, Draken and Emma had already met...no wonder she felt so familiar to him, that was the reason.
"Dad I love Emma and we're getting married again tomorrow" Draken said.
"Dad, will you come to our wedding and give us your blessings?" Emma asked with tears in her eyes.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world...your mother must be so happy wherever she is" Draken's dad replied before Emma hugged him.
If her own dad didn't love her, atleast she had a loving father in law, who was her mom's best friend.
