WRITTEN BY mahmoud maqbool

SUBTITLE; THE WEDDING CEREMONY.

Daya stood by the balcony staring at the servants of the mansion who were busy with the wedding preparations.

Of course she was happy getting married to the man of her dreams but on the other hand she was nervous as hell.

She couldn't help but get cold feet making her sigh irritatedly.

"Come on Zendaya don't just stand there! We haven't got all day!" Her step mother barked at her angrily. Mrs Powell didn't understand why the little girl was suddenly hesitant about the wedding.

sighs " okay let's do this." Daya cleared all doubt from her thoughts and went over the dressing mirror, the makeup artist quickly put to action.

Zendaya Powell, a darling at 26. She was something any man would call queen of beauty, dangerously beautiful and also capable of turning a straight woman gay with her curves.

Her father was a business man and also a wealthy fellow. She was raised with a silver spoon such as she could get anything with just a finger snapped. She was spoiled rotten by the her late mom turning the girl into a beauty with a bitter heart.

"Oh my goodness! You look breathtaking Daya darling."Katherine her best friend complimented while walking into the room. She couldn't help but admire her friend looking dazzling in a wedding dress.

"Ttch! Don't make me laugh.." She stifled a laugh while staring ahead hoping to see someone but sigh when her hopes came crashing to her feet.

Katherine also caught her gaze but didn't say a word.

"Cheer up Angel its your wedding day. I'm sure your dad is busy with the wedding preparations so he couldn't come see you ." Katherine always knew what to say to brighten the day.

Daya flashed a smile that didn't reach her eyes before pulling her friend into a hug.

"I'm so happy Kathy I just can't wait to walk down the aisle with Nate.." Daya poured out her emotions as she tried so much not to ruin her makeup.

"You're nervous ain't you?" Katherine patted her back slightly before pulling away.

She tried to put up a brave front but unfortunately her friend knew her more than anyone.

"N..no I'm not I'm just tired.." Daya lied.

"You're doing that weird thing with your hand when you lie." Chuckling Katherine help with a few things on her dress right before her step mom could show back in the room.

"Are you ready dear?" Smiling faintly Mrs Powell reached out her hands to Daya.

She sighed sadly. Knowing her Father won't be walking her to the Alter.

"Yeah I'm..."

"Great! We dont wanna keep your prince Charming waiting."Her step mom says and led her outta her bedroom with her best friend tailing behind gracefully.

Mr Powell stood by the balcony watching his daughter being helped into the car.

He sigh and gulp down his drink regretfully.

Did he make a terrible mistake of signing a deal with Lord Syionis? He felt a sharp pain in his heart as he thought about everything.

Lord Syionis is a freaky rich Billionaire known for his ruthlessness and how he doesn't have a heart. He would kill without battling a eyelid. He had gone to Lord Syionis for help when his company was about face a whole bunch of lawsuits, He was the only man rich enough to save him but then he has a price to pay.

"Argh! Goddammit!" He cursed smashing his drink against the wall. No matter how hard he torture himself he couldn't take back what he had done.

A few walk away from St Louis Cathedral parked a knight XV, inside stood a driver by the driver's seat and someone whose straight thin legs were crossed elegantly sat at the backseat, he was obviously the one calling the shots.

He dragged from the cigarette between his fingers and puff out vapor. His gaze were fixed at the cathedral in which a wedding is being held.

"What do you think boss?" His driver asked also staring at the cathedral with a cold face.

He chuckled and dump the cigarette on the silver ash tray right beside him.

"Patience Patrick, Patience child." His voice willed so much power as he spoke.

A dark glint flash through his eyes as soon as he caught sight of the bride being led into the cathedral.

"Cute.." He mumbled to himself.

"Target in sight, permission to engage." Someone spoke to him through the wireless comm in hidden his ear.

"Hmm!.. Asset should be delivered to me in good health." He responded with his eyes closed.

"Copy that.." And the line went dead.

"May i ask why Lord Syionis is interested in this one?" Patrick decided to ask. he knew his boss was planning something judging by the manner his eyes had lit up when he saw the bride walk into the cathedral.

A mischievous grin was seen on his face but didn't bother with his driver's questions.

ST LOUIS CATHEDRAL.

Zendaya clenched to her step mom nervously as she was been led to the love of her life.

She smiled shyly when she noticed Nate's stares on her body. He was also smiling back at her.

She could hear her heartbeat as she stood face to face with her groom.

"You looking amazing dear." He whispered to her and Daya couldn't hide the shades of red on her cheeks.

"Than...." The whole cathedral had been by the sound of a sniper. She looked at Nate with terror has she saw him fall lifeless to the floor with a hole in between his brows.

"Jesus Christ!" The priest screamed in fear and ran for his dear life.

The whole cathedral had been turned upside down by the sounds of gunshots from different angle making it hard to see who they was.

Everyone ran for the lives except Daya. She motionless staring at Nate's dead body unable to believe what had just happened.

She suddenly found it hard to breathe as her nose had been covered with a something that had been drenched in chemical.

"Run Daya!" Was the last thing she heard before slipping into unconsciousness.
