The shark's goalie tech bride

10pm

After drinking a little bit too much at her spinster party, Arabella finally came to her senses and opened her eyes.

She forced her eyes open, holding back the headache. As her vision cleared, she noticed a man and a woman kissing in the bathroom.

The door was not transparent but the light was on and the movements were visible.

She tried to stand up, the anger inside her started to boil when she heard a man's voice.

“Cindy, stop this. Arabella just fell asleep” a man's voice warned as he pinched the lady's waist.

“Are you afraid Bella will wake up? Since you're getting married tomorrow and your fiance is asleep…why don't you give yourself to me today?”

“You are so full of vile thoughts. Let's go to the guest room”

“No! I want it here and now” Cindy requested.

She swiftly unbuttoned the man's shirt and their lips locked while their body intertwined.

Arabella boiled, she held back the hot tears that were about to fall from her eyes.

Who would have thought the man she will be marrying the next day would be cheating in the bathroom while she's in the bedroom sleeping?

“Behave Cindy, let's go to the guestroom. Your movement might wake Arabella up”

“I'll join you…” Cindy muttered. The man stood up and left the bathroom leaving the door open.

He walked out of the room without paying any attention to Arabella on the bed.

Cindy walked out of the bathroom and sauntered over to Arabella.

She leaned over and smiled, Arabella could smell her fiance's perfume on Cindy.

“I'm not going to let you and Lane sign those papers tomorrow. I'm carrying his baby and you're are just a sore loser”

“You'll keep on being my backdrop…loser” Cindy laughed and walked out of the room too.

It was not until she heard the door click before she opened her eyes.

Two years ago, she was once a popular tech lady, she built apps, created solutions to problems in everyday life and was a very popular ball dancer.

But because of Lane, she gave up her career. She handed everything to Cindy to make Lane happy thinking she was building his company.

She gave up her brain baby, she gave Cindy solutions to problems she created because she was in love.

But it turned out it was because Cindy was his mistress.

No! This must be a horrible dream. One of her imaginations, everything will go back to normal by tomorrow.

Arabella continued to lie to herself because she had sacrificed too much for him.

She left her family, she was once the princess of a wealthy family but she left everything for Lane.

She could not control the hot tears, she let it fall freely.

The next day, as planned, Arabella drove to the civil affairs office. She had a sad and bitter smile on her face. She used sunglasses to cover her sad eyes.

As she got to the parking lot, she gave Lane a call.

“Cindy has a presentation at a show today but she hurt herself, I need to take her to the hospital to make sure she's fine”

“We're suppose to get married today…lane”

A tear dropped down her eyes, she quickly wiped it off.

“Can you not be selfish Arabella? Cindy is the only tech lady in my company, if anything should happen to her, I'd be saying goodbye to sunshine. Stop being selfish”

Cindy never created anything in the company, I did all of that. I created everything but she got the glory for it.

“But…”

“Let's postpone the registration to another day Arabella” Lane hung up.

Another day?

There is no ‘another day’ for Arabella. She must get married today and sign the marriage papers.

She turned to leave, she would get a gigolo from the street and marry him, but her eyes caught a tall figure heading her way.

She couldn't help but notice the perfectly straight legs, fitted black double breast suit that fitted his muscular body perfectly and a pair of freshly polished black leather shoes that glistened in the sun.

This man has a strong aura, he has the presence of old England kings, although he wore glasses but Arabella knew he was not an ordinary man.

She tried to recall where she knew his face. He was Lincoln Bei, the Goalie of the San Jose Sharks ice hockey club.

The heir to the Bei properties around the world, he trended on news recently for being in Forbes 30 under 30.

She wondered who the lucky woman he was getting married to was.

She met him once when she got an award as the best ball dancer in France three years back.

“Master Bei, your bride hasn't arrived and she said she would only come if you give her your black card…the one Forbes posted.” his manager reported beside him.

“Tell her family to cancel the wedding. Check the lists of other women and send one to me immediately”

“Yes Master Bei”

“And don't forget, I don't want to see them in Europe or Asia anymore or the whole America too”

“But old man Bei said…”

“I don't care what Bei old man thinks, I'm here in Barcelona to get married. I'll be joining the team next week.”

Lincoln Bei didn't care about marriage, he only wanted his grandfather to be happy. If he gets married today, he will be returning to the states next week for the game.

Oh…so he had the same issue with her? Getting dumped at the civil affairs office. Even though our situation was quite different.

What a coincidence.

Lincoln Bei has the power to choose any woman he wants, his family own the biggest winery in the world, the biggest perfume company and the biggest theatres too.

He was also the goalie of one of the biggest hockey teams in the States.

Suddenly a thought flashed across Arabella’s mind.

She took off her sunglasses and walked a bit closer to president Bei.

“Hey Mr. Bei, your bride declined to marry you and my groom ran away. How about we get married?”

His assistant froze. This woman was so brave. He tried to send Arabella away but Lincoln Bei stopped him.

He was quite interested in her, he was amused by her bravery.

“Give me her details” he faced his assistant who turned to make a call.

A few minutes later, the assistant brought his phone closer to Lincoln Bei and his lips curled up in a smile.

“Okay” he responded.
