Purple Romance

Chapter 304: Jordan and Paige's happy ever after

''Hey, had it not been your big brother no one would have spared you a look. You were just a cripple that got saved. What right do you have to be so obnoxious?''

Lisa stood up and turned to Jessi's table. she took the glass that Jessi was about to take and said to her, ''these kind of things, let big sister handle it for you. We can't have our star's name marred because of this little boy here'' she said and poured the glass of wine over the young man's head, making him gasp.

''Hey!!!'' he screamed at Lisa as he pointed his hand towards her, ''who are you? Do you know who I am? I am Henry''

''I didn't ask for your name. Get lost if you don't want to be embarrassed any further. Also, I am older than you, how dare you rise your voice at me?''

Two men walked up to them and asked Jessi, ''Miss, you called for security?''

''Yes, take this man away and don't let him anywhere near me'' Jessi said and turned to Lisa, ''big sister, let's go''

''Okay, let's go'' Lisa held Jessi's hand and they walked away as the two security guards took the young man away.

''Which one should I meet first? I think it will be more fun to meet the one who doesn't know me first'' the man in black hoodie murmured as he hid behind the giant flower vase watching Lisa and Jessi walk away.

..

''I'm hungry, Andy'' Paula rubbed her stomach as they walked away from the dancing floor.

''I will get you something to eat. Sit here and wait'' Andy pulled out a chair for her and helped her into it before he kissed her forehead and went ahead to get the food.

Paula smiled and took out her phone, ''where did Lisa go?'' she murmured as she sent the latter a text.

''This must be the wedding of the century. It clearly showcases the wealth of the couple'' the man who wore a hoodie previously changed into a suit and pants. He had brushed his hair behind him and was now wearing a sunglass.

When Paula heard the voice, she looked up meeting the man's gaze. She turned and looked behind her, seeing no one else before she asked the man, ''excuse me, but were you talking to me just now?''

''Young lady, what do you fear the most in this world?'' he asked, pulling a chair out across Paula to sit.

''You. What I fear the most is a stranger walking up to me with a conversation I didn't call for. I find it rude that you are sitting across me when I don't even know you. Can you leave right now?'' Paula said indifferently.

''You sound more hostile than you look. Where is your friend?''

''Who are you and what do you want?''

''I am someone who knows you very well. If you meet Lisa, tell her that her stepfather misses her'' the man said and stood up.

''Stop there!!!'' Paula said and stood up, facing the man's back that was turned towards her.

''Why? Has she told you about me?''

''I finally found you'' Paula said and stepped forward to face him, ''you are that coward who hides behind the curtains to make life miserable for my darling, right?''

''Coward? That word shouldn't be used so easily. Didn't Lisa tell you, that I am a bad tempered man?''

''No, but she did say that you were the perfect example of what we call human trash. Tell me, what do you want here? Did you come here to remind Lisa of the past? To make like miserable for her?''

''Why? Are you going to prevent me from seeing her?''

''Yes, at all cost''

''Cute''

''What?''

''I said that you are cute. I like you''

''Paula'' Andy called as he walked to them and Paula turned to face him. The man took that chance to walk away. When Paula turned back, she saw him walking out of the door.

''Andy, I will be back'' Paula said and rushed out of the hall, holding the hem of her gown as she ran out.

She looked around but didn't see that man, ''darn it. Where the hell did he go to?''

''Who are you looking for?'' Andy asked as he walked to her. He had followed her when she ran out.

''A man in blue suit and pants with long hair. Did you see him?''

''No, why are you looking for him?''

''He is a dangerous man. Andy, that man is here for Lisa''

''What do you mean?''

''I have to find Lisa and warn her. That man is here to take her away'' Paula said anxiously.

''Paula, calm down and tell me what is going on. I can only help when you tell me''

''Andy that man I just spoke to. He is Lisa's stepfather. They he in any case, can you help me without asking for explanations? This is Lisa's private affairs and I can't talk about it''

''Alright, calm down first. I will call Leslie to look for Lisa while we try to find that man'' Andy took out his phone and made a call to Leslie, while holding Paula's hand tightly.

''Leslie, where are you? I need you to find Lisa right away. She is in danger''

Paula looked at him anxiously after he hung up, ''Leslie is gone to look for her. Don't worry, we will be able to find her before that man''

''Another thing, there are a lot of people here. Lisa wouldn't want everyone knowing about her personal life. I want us to keep it low as possible''

''I understand. When we find Lisa, we will say our goodbyes and leave as soon as possible. Let's go and look for that man''

''Alright'' Paula nodded and followed Andy.

Leslie looked around the whole hall but didn't see Lisa. He was beginning to get increasingly worried as he called her phone number. It started ringing and he heard it from a distance and ran over but he didn't see Lisa but Jessi at the balcony.

''Jessi, are you holding Lisa's purse?'' Leslie asked and Jessi turned to face him.

''Yes, elder sister went to the washroom and left her purse with me. what is wrong?'' Jessi asked.

''Nothing, tell her to call me when you see her'' Leslie said and ran out towards the ladies' washroom.

When he left, Jessi turned to go and bumped into another man who was coming inside the balcony. The two purses in her hand fell and the man picked them up.

''You should be careful, young lady'' the man said and smiled but Jessi found it creepy so she simply nodded and took the purses from him.

''Thank you'' Jessi said and walked away.

Lisa's stepfather looked at Jessi as she walked away and smiled, ''so many beautiful women in there. I suddenly don't feel like seeing you sooner'' he said as he gazed upon the sky, ''what a beautiful sight. I missed seeing this midnight moon the most, because of you''

He turned to leave and heard a voice that he recognised all so well. He hid back and watched Lisa and Jessi chat.

''Jessi, where did you go to?''

''Oh, I went to the balcony to get some fresh air. Right, elder brother was looking for you. He said you should call him, it's important''

''I am just from Jordan and Paige's place''

''No, I mean Leslie. You should call him. He looked worried''

''Okay, let's go. Paige and Jordan are about to leave''

''Alright''

The man smirked as he stepped out, watching them leave. He touched his long beard and said, ''it seems that today isn't the right time to surprise you, my little girl. Let's meet another day'' he walked out and looked around before leaving the place.

At the lobby, everyone gathered around Jordan and Paige as they got ready to go. Lisa arrived with Jessi and went over to Leslie.

''Leslie, were you looking for me?'' Lisa asked and Leslie turned and hugged her tightly.

''You are safe. Where did you go?''

''I went to the washroom and then stopped by Paige's room. What's wrong?'' Lisa noticed the worry in his gaze.

''Nothing, as long as you are fine'' he said before walking with her closer.

Soon afterwards, Andy and Paula also arrived. Seeing Lisa, they calmed down and didn't want to make everyone worried.

''We will be leaving now'' Jordan held Paige's hand as they stood in front of everyone.

''Go and have fun'' Mr. Payin said as tears filled his eyes.

''Dad, why are you crying?'' Paige asked and hugged her father.

''You didn't cry when you led her to the podium, why are you crying now?'' Jordan's father said.

''It now feels real that my girl is finally married'' he making everyone laugh.

''That's how it feels. I felt strange when Carlien got married too'' Mrs. Kate added.

''Dad, we will come and visit you first once we return'' Paige tried to console her father.

''Jordan, please look after my girl for me''

''Uncle, don't worry. Paige is now my wife; I will protect her''

When their wedding car pulled over, they hugged everyone and got inside and it drove away.

Paula and Andy walked to Lisa as soon as everyone started chatting and walking away.
