Confusion washed over her as she glanced around the room once more, she rolled onto her back and was staring at the crystal chandelier hanging above the chocolate brown ceiling. Everything else was the same shade of colour except for the milk coloured silky bedspread that was the same as the walls.
When reality finally kicked in, she felt her chest constricted and a huge lump formed in her throat. Her head was throbbing, her eyes felt heavy and sore.
The door flew open and Idad barrelled in with a tray of food, she smiled brightly when she saw El

The familiar scent of leather wafted through her nostrils, Ella had been in that particular room many a time and everything that had been said here was unpleasant; and so was the woman sitting on the Sheraton chair behind the large rosewood desk with piles of books and papers on one side, a laptop in front of her, the other side was empty except for an almost empty glass of her signature red wine. Doña Bianca leaned languidly against the chair studying an almost bored Ella, frowning at the fact that everything seemed to be working against her and the situation seemed out of her hands. She was used to being in control but right now she felt out of place and frustrated. She leaned forward, resting her arm on the desk and intertwined her long manicured fingers, her gaze intensely fixated on Ell

She could hear the melodious tune from the orchestra playing downstairs. Skyline hotels’ suites were elegant and looked expensive.Her stomach had had its own mind ever since they arrived at the hotel five hours ago. The thought of having to be the centre of attention tonight with the press capturing every moment of it made her feel nauseous and light headed. Music stopped, heads turned, gasps were let out and bewildered stares were exchanged. Ella could feel her heart somersaulting across her chest, literally. Her legs were wobbly as she stood at the top of the stairs looking down at the huge guests in the ballroom, she was aware that the Vergaras had so many acquaintances but had never thought they’d invite so many. She saw her family smiling brightly at her giving her all of their support thinking she had fo

His cologne was far too strong tonight it made her nostrils flare and filled her senses too. Impulsively, she felt herself relax in his arm, an inaudible sigh escaped her half-parted lips and her lids drooped automatically. They suddenly stopped dancing and Ella’s eyes flew open almost immediately, she could see a number of couples on the dance floor swaying to the soft music playing…but why had they stopped? She wondered. Ella glanced up to see Dylan looking over her shoulder, following his gaze, she saw a young man about Dylan’s age with black hair and blue eyes. He smiled and Dylan nodded in approval. ‘’Who’s he?’’ she queried. &nb

‘’Meet me at the roof top in ten minutes.’’ Jason told her. Ella nodded wordlessly and he pulled away, and then he was gone. Her excitement coupled with her nerves was not a very good feeling at all; her heart is racing and her palms are clammy. She glanced around the room but Dylan was nowhere in sight, and so was Bryan, Dominic and Ethan. Without a moment’s hesitation, she darted out of the room. Where was the rooftop? She couldn’t find it. Ella was frustrated. She’d been going around in circles searching the halls frantically, her smoky grey eyes darted back and forth contemplating until she spotted the steel door at the far end which had the word

‘’What do you want to talk about?’’ Dylan queried with little interest, striding across the huge posh spacious office to the desk and pouring himself a glass of scotch not bothering to offer Bryan one. ‘’What was that about?’’ Bryan asked suddenly.Dylan turned to face him while perching on the edge of the desk sipping his drink leisurely. His face a blank mask. ‘’What? You didn’t tell me you wanted one.’’ He replied, evading the question. ‘’You know that’s not what I’m talking about Dylan, you two looked like you were about to rip each other’s throat.’’ &n

When she joined the party again, they all carried on like nothing happened and it frustrates Ella that Dylan was in no mood to listen or even talk to her. She felt his withdrawal even as he clasped her hand in the crook of his arm as he introduced her to some of their guests.She soon joined her family and their playful banter help ease the guilt she was feeling. They drove back home in silence and each time she attempt to speak he was quick to put her off so she decided that it’d be better to talk without an audience so as they reached the top of the stairs, Ella called ‘’Dylan.’’ When he turned around, his eyes lingered on hers for a moment his expression was inscrutable. ‘’We need to talk.&r

‘’Ready?’’ Ella looked at her father with a forced smile and offered a curt nod. She couldn’t say a word because the lump in her throat was quite gigantic she couldn’t seem to breathe through it properly. Placing her hand in the crook of her father’s arm, she inhaled deeply before the huge double doors of the church flew open to an insanely expectant faces. She released a shaky breath, all of them strangers to her except Lani, her mother and Kristina and then there was the heirs; Bryan, Dominic, Jason, and of course Ethan whose eyes pierced into hers in disapproval. She could never guess why he’s against her, they only met at the engagement party. &nb

Ella stared blankly at her reflection on the wall mirror; she was beautiful no doubt and she could hardly recognise the woman before her. But behind that exquisitely high crafted cheekbones, full lips and gorgeous eyes lied a dark, dark heart full of pain, frustration and misery. It had only begun to dawn on her that she was finally bound to Dylan Vergara for a year and half and only now was she feeling the full impact of what she’d signed up for.You’re doing it for your family. She inhaled deeply and exhaled after her little pep talk. She caught Jason’s reflection behind hers.‘’Jason!’’ Ella felt the tension slowly ebb away. She wanted to hug him but she didn’t want to be on the receiving end of Dylan’s wrath. A bitter taste formed in her mouth when she thought of that night.She loathed herself for yet again allowing herself to fall for Dylan’s seduction. Maybe turning her away t

How could she forget?"I thought you were the most beautiful woman in the ball room. You took my breath away then, and you take my breath away standing in that cute little uniform." he caught her face in his palms and stared deep into her eyes.Claire couldn't tear her gaze away even if she wanted to. His feelings were so intense it ignited a fire deep within her very soul.

CHAPTER SIX "Why didn't you tell us about it?"Dominic looked away from the window of his water front apartment to his mother, she was holding a brown envelope."I don't want to talk about it. " she was holding the envelope that confirmed his biggest fears, he couldn’t have children of his own.It was a boating accident seven years ago and Dominic was never the same ever since."Your father and I are worried about you. At least come spend some time with us and let us keep you company. " "I'm fine mom, there's nothing to worry about. " She wasn't convinced though.

CHAPTER FOURThe past few days had been hectic, what with all the preparations for the wedding that they didn't have time to see each other. Today was her first ultrasound and Dominic was coming to pick her up himself. She saw his car round the corner which led to his parents' house and stopped in front of her. He got out of the car and came to where she was standing and kissed her full on the mouth. "You look lovely. " "In this?" Clara was wearing one of her mother’s old dresses which she'd mended the other day. It was old and unappealing, how could he possibly think that she looked anything but a homeless person."You look beautiful in anything."He opened the car door for her and she got in before hopped in the driver’s seat. "Make yourself comfortable, the doctor will be with you shortly." the nurse informed them before exiting the room."Do you want a boy or a girl?" Clara asked.Dominic kissed her knuckles as

CHAPTER THREE"Dominic! we were just talking about you" his mother cried as soon they stepped into the room. "Mom, dad, this is Clara Wilson... my wife. " The table went silent and the only sound heard was the clatter of fork slipping from the table to the ground. "Since when?" his dad asked."My dear son, come up stairs will you?" his mother spoke after a long silence. Clara felt so exposed under their scrutiny. "Why don't you make yourself comfortable, i'll be right back." Dominic gave her hand a reassuring squeeze."What is this I hear about you being married to that girl Dominic?"His mother was the first to demand."I hope you know what you’re doing son." his father said."I know that I should've told you all sooner but I couldn't wait.""Marriage is not some game you can play anytime you feel like it." His mother said."There's only one reason why he could possibly want to get married, and so out o
