"The rest of you will have an even more important job to do. You are going to escort the Luther family people who will be leaving the city in trucks five hours from now. Spread the ssage to everyone in the family to pack only the things that are valuable and can be easily carried otherwise it will either hinder the large scale movent a few hours later or the people would be left behind for not being ready in ti. Wheels will roll in five hours. Make sure that everyone of the Luther family is in the trucks by then. If not, they will be responsible for their own well being from that mont onwards. Do you all understand?"
Diana skillfully distributed the tasks assigned to her by Zach to her under command in the most efficient manner. By delegating the tasks to the other mbers of the team, she ensured that these tasks would not co to a halt even if she proceeded for the extraction mission. At the sa ti she ensured that every individual of the Luther family would only carry the most valuable but easy to pack items since every packing everything in their house was not a five hour job. Thus she decided to discard the useless baggage that would not only take up precious space within the trucks but would also slow down their plans.
Diana turned out to be quite the strict manager after her ti with Zach. She not only kept an eye on the extraction team who were looking after and rechecking their equipnt but also on the remaining mbers who were currently helping out the Luther family people discreetly in their packing. So had also been assigned to oversee the maintenance of the trucks if any of them required any. Thus all the tasks were carried out simultaneously under the scrutiny of Diana's watchful gaze as the Luther family's great migration out of Elizabeth city entered its implentation stage.
------------------------------------------------
The wedding ceremony turned out to be even longer than Zach had anticipated. The guests were unwilling to sit down and wait calmly as they insisted on introducing themselves to Zach from ti to ti fearing that he would forget who they are. Being the groom, he couldn't exactly be rude to these people. Therefore, he showed them the limited respect they deserved as they had co to celebrate his wedding by taking out their ti.
It wasn't until a few hours had passed that the ceremony actually began. The guests got seated as Zach waited by the door for the bride to make her appearance. If it hadn't been for the impending escape that Zach had to make on a mont's notice, he might even have looked forward to seeing Christina in her wedding dress that he had yet to lay his eyes upon as previously she had been wearing an elegant evening gown to receive the guests for the wedding and throughout the episode that took place in the conference room with Prince Kolt.
Zach had his hands behind his back as he listened to the conversations of the guests who were all throwing their blessings at him. So were envious that he had gotten himself such a beautiful bride and others were jealous that Zach had married into the Elizabeth family. Zach of course paid such remarks no heed and continued to wait patiently.
Before long, the doors to the wedding hall opened and Christina ca in gently holding the arm of her father George who was nervously busy as he tried not to step on her train.
Christina on the other hand was the very epito of grace and splendor in her golden bridal dress. The luxurious wedding dress was a stunning sight to behold, crafted from the finest silk and satin fabrics that felt soft and smooth against the skin. The dress covered the bride's entire body, from her shoulders down to her feet, with a flowing skirt that pooled elegantly on the ground.
The intricate lace detailing on the bodice added a delicate and feminine touch, with exquisite embroidery and beadwork that shimred in the light. The dress hugged the bride's curves in all the right places, accentuating her natural beauty and creating a figure-flattering silhouette.
The dress was designed to showcase the bride's delicate shoulders and neckline, with a sweetheart neckline that plunged down to just the right depth. The long sleeves added an elent of sophistication and elegance, with lace detailing that matched the bodice perfectly.
As the bride moved, the dress caught the light and shimred with every step, with a subtle sheen that made the fabric look like liquid gold. The luxurious wedding dress was a true masterpiece, crafted with skill and precision to create a tiless and unforgettable look that would be rembered for years to co.
The father and daughter stopped close to Zach as George gave him a look from top to bottom as if assessing whether he really deserved his daughter or not.
After a mont of consideration, George nodded in satisfaction and carefully freed his arm from his daughter's and held her hand gently before turning back to Zach.
Zach didn't say anything but he felt slightly nervous standing in front of George for the very first ti today. He couldn't tell whether the nervousness was because of his plan or because of the wedding itself.
"Christina is my most precious treasure and I have treated her as such her whole life. Even though she thinks she is very smart, when it cos to things of the heart she barely understands anything. She can't even differentiate between business matters and her own sentints when things co down to it. She is far too objective even towards her own life. Therefore, I hope you will be a pillar for her and will support and guide her in matters that she doesn't understand. I hope that you will protect her and watch over her just like I have kept her from all kinds of harm throughout her life." George's eyes were slightly teary and his face was solemn as he spilled all his expectations regarding the wedding to Zach.
He knew that Zach was capable enough to protect his daughter but he needed to say it to Zach in order to lighten the burden of responsibility over his shoulders.
Even Christina was slightly taken aback at her father's sudden outburst of sentintal talk. She had never seen her father talk in such a manner before. Just like her, George had always seen things objectively in terms of profit and loss. To her it seed like George had changed with the passage of ti.
Zach felt the responsibility that ca with the wedding for the first ti. He knew that he was going to make his escape soon so he was hesitant in making light of a father's words who was sending his daughter away from him with a stranger.
"I will try my best."
George was extrely observant and easily noticed that brief pause and hesitation and couldn't help but freeze for a mont as he got worried about his daughter. But then he thought that this much would have to do for the ti being.
George carefully placed Christina's hand in Zach's as he tried to hide his worries behind a smiling fa?ade and didn't say anything to Zach.
Zach and Christina turned towards the altar and started walking slowly down the aisle among the clapping sounds of the guests seated on either sides of the aisle. George on the other hand turned around with a grim look and headed straight towards the rear end of the hall where Barry was standing as he cast a gentle gaze towards his sister who was about to be married.
George pulled Barry into the corner by tugging on his clothes so as to not alert anyone.
Barry was slightly taken aback at how suspicious his father was acting. He felt that George should be happier considering that Christina was getting married to a capable person. He had a questioning look on his face as he followed after his father who was practically dragging him behind.
"We need to be prepared. I don't believe that Zach is the type to stay silent or acquiesce to the demands of others as easily as he did to Prince Kolt today. I think that there is sothing brewing underneath that we are not aware of yet. Just in case, you go back ho and gather our n first so that we can be ready if a situation arises suddenly…and I have a feeling that it will." George patted Barry on the back as if asking him to hurry up and not waste any more ti.
George had analyzed the entire situation ever since the incident in the conference room. It appeared as if Prince Kolt had so kind of leverage over him but that was definitely not all. Zach clearly hated Prince Kolt with everything he had but had still compromised eventually and signed the deal that brought him no profit at all. From how the Sosis family ca to their end, George could guess the kind of person Zach was. At least he could be sure that he wasn't the type to bend easily through coercive ans like Kolt had used.
George deduced that Zach couldn't have known the Prince before today's eting which ant that the hatred between the two wasn't of personal nature. As such there was only one possibility that the secret Zach was hiding was important enough for Zach had tried to kill the Prince without even batting an eye and the latter had made use of it to force Zach into accepting such a loss.
