"Alia!" Gwen called in a surprised tone, pulling Jerry's distant attention to the eyesore before them.
Her sowhat high-pitched voice attracted the attention of so other couples who were coming out of the civil affairs bureau building. They also stopped upon recognising the controversial lady, whose na had been making waves on the social dia site for the past three days.
"Isn't that Alia Shawls?" A Pettit lady with cute bangs cried in a thrilled voice.
"Yes...she is the one." The lady's husband replied, eyes glimring with admiration for the pretty and sophisticated lady. "What is she doing here with those hefty-looking bodyguards."
"Probably to beat up her step-sister who is currently beside her ex-husband." The lady pointed at Gwen and Jerry. "They were the ones who signed their marriage certificate before us."
"Oh no..."
"Oh yes...this is going to be fun.
Both partners as well as a few other people brought out their phones ready to capture the next sibling rivalry drama.
Gwen and Jerry both approached Alia cautiously, stopping four tres away from her.
"What are you doing here?" Gwen asked, forcing a smile that didn't get to her throat.
"And how is that any of your bloody business?" Alia replied in a plastic voice, suppressing the anger bubbling inside of her at the sight of her customised ring on Gwen's finger.
"Miss Shawls, can we...."
"Not now, Pascal." Alia cut him off, her gaze fixed on her stepsister and ex-husband.
Jerry, who was shalessly drinking in the beauty of his ex was the first to spot the impressively large pink diamond on her finger. His jaws dropped, almost hitting the ground with shock. But he quickly recovered from the shock when Gwen nudged him in the arm, mistaking his shock for lust.
"Hello, Alia." Jerry forced himself to say even though he was steaming inwardly like a pressure cooker. "What's a pleasant surprise."
"Indeed. Aren't you too both a sight for sore eyes?" Alia sneered. "How is the nose?"
Jerry gritted his teeth.
"Amy, don't tell you are still mad after Jerry divorced you to be with . I'm so sorry he chose over you. As a sister, I can feel your pain and I understand your dia stunt. You can't bla the heart on who it chooses to love. I'm sure in ti you'll find soone who would love you the way Jerry loves ."
Gwen tightened her hold on Jerry while batting her long lashes like a doll, unafraid of the silently growling bulldogs behind her stepsister.
"Point of correction, Gwen. I divorced the cheating scum so that you can eat from my leftover without hiding your face in sha. Secondly, I would rather be caught dead under a train than have soone love the way Jerry loves you. And thirdly, I won't be surprised if tomorrow he's caught snuggling in the arm of another random girl. Once a jerk, always a jerk. It's in his DNA."
Alia's calm but effective punch earned her more admiration and applause from the excited spectators who were anticipating a cat fight any ti soon.
Jerry's hands balled into a fist as he tried to remain civil with so many eyes watching. "Alia, there is no need to call nas. I know you're still angry because I chose your sister over you. I'm sorry things didn't work out between us. I couldn't handle a woman as stiff as you are. I love your sister very much and I will always treat her like a princess that she is."
"Aww!" Gwen gushed over him, even squeezing out a few tears of happiness as she wrapped her arms around his waist while leaning her head on his chest.
"Did this loser just call stiff?" Alia echoed in her heart, a tsunami of fury building in the pit of her stomach.
"Sha on you two!" One of the ladies who knew about Jerry's infidelity scandal cried out. But Jerry was no longer after those remarks. The satisfaction of watching Alia's face redden with jealousy was worth it.
Jerry continued with his false profession of love, in an attempt to reduce Alia to ashes while second-guessing the bastard who had dared to put a ring on her finger.
"I hope we can let go of our past and work together as one big strong and happy family. Because I finally took your advice and made this official." He said, lifting the back of Gwen's hands to his lips and kissing it.
"Amy, we just got married." Gwen chirped happily, flaunting her marriage certificate in Alia's face.
Wild gasps could be heard amongst the little crowd that had gathered. They were all waiting for Alia to throw all shades of red on the infuriating couple. But to their surprise, she remained calm.
"Congratulations are in order." Alia raised her hand clapping for the newlyweds while flaunting his gorgeous diamond ring for everyone to see.
It was at this point Gwen's greedy eyes fell on the big dazzling rock on her sister's finger, that made the dium colourless white diamond in her finger feel puny. All the smiles vanished from her face and were replaced with pure anger and jealousy.
"Is that the rare Angelo pink diamond ring on her finger?" Soone from amongst the crowd who has zood into the large sparkling rock on Alia's finger exclaid out loud.
"No way!"
"It was auctioned for seventy million dollars."
"It looks so gorgeous."
"That is one expensive diamond ring."
"Oh, how I love rich people."
"But is she getting remarried?"
"Who is the lucky gentleman."
"I'm sure he's extrely wealthy."
"She is so lucky."
Different comnts filled the air as Alia took this rare opportunity to relish in her stepsister's angry face and Jerry's dangerously brimming eyes.
"You're getting married? How?" Gwen didn't know when those words ca out of her mouth. But she imdiately regretted it as soone responded for Alia.
"What do you an how? First, you stole her good-for-nothing husband and now you are jealous that she's getting remarried. You are such a lousy and greedy ho wrecker."
"Shut your mouth." Gwen snapped at the lady. "This is a family affair and you all should learn to mind your business." She pointed threateningly unaware that so people were live-streaming her reaction.
"Pff... family my foot." Alia was about to leave when Gwen stopped her.
"I'm not done talking to you." Gwen snarled losing grip of her emotions.
