C1 The hot Billionaire

"I can't believe this is happening". Jasmine jumped up and down as she screamed in excitement.

"Calm down Jasmine". Danielle laughed at her overexcited friend.

" Jasmine, Danielle is right, you got to calm down. You're even more excited than Eliza" Lana pitched in but the excitement could be read in her face.

" You guys, this is very big, so none of you better forget your lines, cause even if this doesn't mean alot to you, it does for Eliza, so none of you ruin this for her cause if you do... "

" Relax Alisa, we know how important this is, not just for us but mostly for Sis Eliza. We can never mess this up". Georgia interrupted Alisa big speech. They would never mess this up for Eliza, no matter what.

" Are you guys ready". A pretty lady walked into the room throwing the curtains behind her.

" Yes!". They chorused.

"Then come on. Last person in the van washes it". Eliza said as she ran towards their van.

...

Fourteen orphaned kids comprised their motley crew. Among them were twins Georgia and George, along with preteens Amelia, John and Emile. Teens Alisa, Lana, Dion and his sister Kiara had lost their parents in an accident. Danielle, Jason, Jasmine and Fiona were the children of wealthy families who longed to pursue music against their parents' wishes.

Then there was Eliza, the neglected daughter of callous parents. Her brothers bullied her mercilessly, even encouraged by their parents. At eighteen, she'd had enough. Eliza fled her tormentors, boarding a ship to the big city and the promise of a fresh start. But the voyage was interrupted by a vicious storm that capsized the vessel. Eliza rescued four children before her lifeboat escaped the sinking ship.

In the big city, the orphans clung to Eliza. She embraced them as her new family, eventually taking in more abandoned youths. Even children of privilege joined them, united by their love of music. Eliza vowed to protect her new siblings, though she was barely an adult herself.

...

"Last person in the van would wash it". Eliza yelled and ran towards the van as fast as she could with the kids following behind her.

...

At the same time at the most expensive hall in the city, Mason Kendell the CEO of Kendell International, was getting married.

"Mason, the guests are arriving, you need to go in now". The grooms best friend and also best man Victor said.

"Do I really have to marry Kendra?"

"Wait you're asking this now? Mason this isn't the time for second thoughts, if your getting married dude, you got to do it know.

Mason took a deep breath. He need he had to do this.

"I'm doing this"

"That's my man, come on the guests are waiting for us".

The door to the parish hall opened and Mason and his best man walked in.

When the opening of the door was heard a lot of nosey and gossiping guests that were there turned there heads to look at the groom.

"Oh he finally arrived"

"I thought this weeding was not going to hold anymore"

"Jesus, that guy is hot"

Murmurs were heard form every corner of the hall the moment Mason walked in.

" The groom should please come forward and stand beside his bride". A man dressed in all white and was most certainly the priest said as she pointed to the empty space beside Kendra by the altar.

Mason walked as slowly as possible towards the altar but no matter how slowly he walked he eventually reached the altar and stood beside his bride. The woman he would apparently spend the rest of his life with.

"The bride and groom should look at each other as they exchange their vows"The priest announced and a young boy of about 5 came forward to present the rings.

" Wait for us! ". A shout was heard and once again the guest turned their necks to see who was it that disrupted the already late wedding.

Eliza and her troupe walked into the parish hall with unseen smiling faces. Their smiling faces were unseen because they all apart from Eliza wore masks that covered their eyes to half of their noses, so as their identities most especially the rich kids identities would not be revealed.

" We would like to perform before the bride and groom exchange their vows "..

" Who are these people"

" Would the priest agree to this "

" I just want this wedding to be over". The Murmurs that had been buried before rose up again.

While the guest were mumuring, the girls in the troupe couldn't help but gawk at Mason.

"Oh my Goodness Mason is the hottest Billionaire I've ever seen." Danielle fanned her face with her hands as she looked at him.

"How many have you seen" Jasmine asked absentmindedly as she stared into Mason breath taking face.

"Trust me I've seen alot, but he's just, wow". Danielle just couldn't shut her mouth at how handsome he was.

" It's as if I'm getting burned just by looking at his hot face" Alisa added as she started dreamily at Mason face.

" Who are these people? who invited such low class people to such a socialist wedding".Mrs Fabiola, Kendra's mother taunted.

Danielle couldn't stand the thought of such woman insulting people she had considered as family so she spoke up.

"Who are you to call us low class, just because we decided to grace your wedding your daughter's wedding you want to disgrace us, if you...". Jasmine quickly her friend from saying anything else. She knew that Danielle was not to be rivalled with, she was the governor's daughter for goodness sakes.

" What my friend is trying to say is that, we're a none paid organization that just wants to sing for your wedding. Imagine unlike all those high paying bands around, we want to sing at your wedding for free".

" That's enough mum, just let them sing and let's get on with the wedding ". Kendra suddenly spoke up with a meek voice and the words she spat made everyone believe that she was just being kind.

"Thank you Miss. You would most certainly not regret this" Eliza said for the first time since the argument began.

"Jas, the piano". Jasmine went straight to the huge piano at one corner of the hall and began to play it to a certain tune.

"3.... 2.... 1..."

"

Welcome to the happiest day of your life,

Welcome to the day that you'll die,

At least your single life would turn to pieces.

Knowing you'll never be the same again,

Having to share everything you got with him,

But what if that life wasn't meant to be we

At least not with her or him

Not with her or him

".

They began in a chorus
