A SHOCKER
Valerie looked stunning with her new look, hair dyed Ariel red.
She was dressed in a jade green princess gown designed by herself, it was designed to be transformed on the stage if she got the award. Prince on the other hand will always look like something straight out of animation in suits too handsome to be real.
The deafening cries of his fans for his attention and signature outside the Arena filled the air.
Definitely those who couldn’t afford the ticket for the exclusive fan sign and so they had a chance for an autograph.
The ceremony began, Luke was seated at the same table prepared for them. Seeing him, Prince let go of Valerie’s hand and walked to sit with the employees. Valerie however shamelessly walked to sit with Luke at the VIP table.
He tried not to look but couldn’t help it. Her smiles when Luke whispered to her were like aching pain in his heart. He wanted so much to get the bell out of the room but it was almost time for her category.
Prince and another fashion Icon was called for the award presentation.
Poor Prince tried his best to look happy for the cameras.
“Are you going for it?”
Jill said to him, talking about calling the results.
“Please go on”.
Prince offered her back.
“The award for the best designer goes to the glittering Swan, designed by Valerie Norman!”
Valerie cried and hugged Luke, then she waved at the audience applauding for her, she walked up the stage, resisting the urge to hug Prince too to avoid any embarrassment.
Jill gave Prince the award as she was aware that he is her husband now.
Prince wished she hadn’t but took the award anyway. He gave it to her and they forced themselves to kiss eachother’s lips.
“Thank you thank you so much for this I…don’t deserve this.. looking from where I am coming from and now being named the best designer is a dream come true”she sobbed then broke down in tears. The audience went awwww.
Prince hated that her crying voice had the same effect on him, and he didn’t even look at her but was watching her on the screen opposite him. She looked so beautiful even when crying.
“First I would like to thank Mr Luke, my first love, the man who is an inspiration to this outfit I am wearing”.
At this moment Prince thought he would die because of rage.
“Thank you Luke for pushing me away, thank you for being that man that forced me into the arms of my rightful man, thank you for telling me that I didn’t deserve you, I deserved more actually”.
She chuckled in tears.
Prince’s eyes widened, he thought he was hallucinating, he looked at Luke, he was being shown on the screen but that doesn’t stop him from showing his displeasure with the game Valerie was playing.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Could it be that she was only fooling Luke around to embarrass him on this day in front of the world. But she kissed him, no she didn’t, it was a close picture which didn’t prove anything. His heart was slipping so fast, did he judge her wrongly?
The rest of Valerie’s speech was mute to him until an uproar erupted in the audience when she pulled the string on her dress and it went off to reveal the dress she wore to Luke and Kamsy’s wedding.
Other colleagues looked at Kamsy in a similar manner knowing the story behind it and watched Valerie with interest.
The audience too were very interested to know what next.
“See you are the inspiration, this is my best dress yet, because it is a symbol of liberation”.
She tried not to cry then cleared her throat.
“I have just a minute left for this speech To my beloved husband”.
She turned to the Prince opposite her, Prince was stuck to the same position watching her on the screen even though she was just four feets from him, his eyes as confused as the heart beat of his heart.
“I am sorry but I won’t be your wife anymore , I will be the mother of your son and also be your wife, Baby I am pregnant!”
She snapped it out with a braid smile on her wet face.
Prince’s eyes doubled, he couldn’t even look at her face yet.
It took a minute of silence before the audience went crazy at the reveal.
Prince dropped to his knees and cried with his hands on his face in total shock.
