2024-10-29 19:42:56I let the tears flow down my cheeks. I stepped into the living hall. It was enormous as I always told my mother I wanted it to be. I was still dealing with the pain of my parent's death. Though they forced me into this unwanted marriage. But I couldn't deny the fact that I had spent my life like a princess in my father's home.
I wanted them right here next to me when my parents gifted it to me. I want them to see me smiling. I also wanted to see their smile, but I could only wish for it. I was too sad and too happy. Dad remembered what kind of home I wanted. It was exactly like that.
"You alright?" Livia's voice was soft as it came from behind her. For a few seconds, I forgot the rest of the world. She put her hand on my shoulder, her gentle tou

I grabbed my stuff and my heels clicked on the floor. I was wondering, would he be thinking about me? He was extraordinary and I could foresee, no one could replace the place he had made in my heart overnight. I felt my face flaming. I needed to stop this. I was drowning in his thoughts. I tried very hard to keep myself from thinking about him the way he looked at me, ran his hand on my shoulder to down my arm.I bent down to grab my phone. I heard something chiming.

The days jumped to the weekend hurriedly. I had applied for whatever job I saw in the advertisement. I was still jobless. Jasper had asked me to work in his company. I didn't want it. Ivan had offered me a job in the publication world. But I refused him too. I didn't wanna work with my friend's fiance. Ivan had mailed me and asked me to reach the place for the interview at his friend's office. I didn't know anything about the job yet. I couldn't concentrate on anything until I met his parents and knew their reaction. I put on a red dress and grasped my clutch tightly in my hand. I was nervous like hell. I hadn't eaten anything since the morning. I was afraid to throw up any time. I was hoping they would invite us to their place as usual but Jasper invited them.

I could sense the passion when he kissed her. He was genuinely in love with her. I felt a soft touch on my lower back. There was only one person who would be concerned about me. It didn't matter that I was carrying a board written ' I'm perfectly fine.' "You alright, Esme?" Livia asked. Her face was a true picture of worry. I smirked. I was waiting for this. I glanced back at Jasper and Lorraine, "I wasn't sure. When she asked me to be her bridesmaid." I breathed, "It wasn't that bad," I smiled. "I'm not asking this?" Livia held my hand. "I have told you. I don't love him. It doesn't matter to me. I'm just... " I paused, "They should tell me," I muttered. 'Things would be diff

' Dean Pierce is my boss. He's Ivan's business partner. He didn't offer me this job with any intention like David had last night. Now I'm repeating. Why didn't I hit him? I accepted this job because he's married and had a little daughter. I don't know exactly her age. But he's married and in love with his wife. That's enough for me to accept this offer. It makes me feel sad that I haven't earned this employment but my friend's fiance helped me. There's no option other than taking it. Frankly, I don't give a shit. I'll prove myself with my work that he didn't make a mistake hiring me. 'I handed him the file. He was sitting on the head chair. He grabbed it and his smile was professional.

I had no choice but to join the troop. David stood by my side but I wanted him to join the men and leave me alone. I didn't talk to him, I was mostly replying in yes or no. 'Can't he get the hint? That whatever he is thinking isn't going to happen. Moving on isn't my type. ' "Tell me something about you. Instead of yes, or no." He smirked looking at me. His eyes stayed on my body. It made my skin crawl in disgust. If he hadn't been Ivan's friend, I would have smacked him hard on his face. 'Well! That's not me.' I turned to him, "I don't know. What has Livia told you?" I paused to have his attention. He was already smirking at me, "But I don't feel like... um," I shrugged my shoulders, "I can't give you. What you're expecting. Please... I'm sorry." I said to him, I darted my eyes around. I wasn't interested in looking at him any lon

I smoothed my hand over my yellow dress. I was feeling uneasy from last night. I hated the smell of roasted food. At the dinner table, all the men's eyes were on me, waiting for me to tell them about Carlos King. 'Yes, I'm running away from the topic. I want him to find me. I don't wanna bang on his door and announce... Hi! I didn't forget you. Can I expect this from you too? ' Lorraine pushed the chair back and got on her feet, "You look pale," She added, looking at me. I smiled, "I'm fine, Lorry." I whirled on my feet and walked away from the mirror. We were wearing the same design's gown. Her pregnancy had made her more beautiful. I had heard it but I didn't imagine it to be true. A moment later, Jasper appeared. His navy blu

PART TWO : ' There's definitely a connection between us. ' I couldn't forget her. She was married and off limits. I would never forget her mesmerizing eyes. How her skin felt under my calloused fingers. I could feel it. Her skin was softer than it looked. Regret passed through my chest. I shouldn't let her go. I didn't give a f***, that she was married. Her marriage wasn't ever essential for her. I could only guess it from afar. But it was true. It was written all over her face. I had hardened my heart for other women after that. No one could touch me the way she had. A surge of lust for her hit me hard. But she wasn't around. I didn't know where she was until a week ago. I saw her in Askin's building.

We were sitting in a luxurious room, one of his grand hotels. My wedding gown was ivory white, strapless, full A-line. It was a unique piece. I could hardly recognize myself. I blinked at myself and glanced at my children through the mirror. Elisa was hopping on her bare feet while Aidan and Elliot were making a ring of their arms around her. "You should put on your shoes, Elisa. We'll not get cake after the wedding," Elliot said. "I'm eating a lot of cake today," Aidan said, smiling. A glow of happiness spread through me.

She was my wife. Yes, I forced her in. I wouldn't regret it ever. I couldn't ignore the Relief that poured through me. She was mine. She loved me too. Finally, I took the time to push my anger away. I missed seeing her with our baby and a lot more things. She turned. Our gaze locked. Her brown eyes are beautiful. I tucked the long locks of her hair behind her ear, "You need rest," I told her.

I saw him leaning against his car, waiting too patiently. I glanced back at Livia and Lorraine. I was feeling shy like a little girl. After watching Elisa, I could bet no little girl would be shying like me. I pushed back the worried thoughts. "You're looking gorgeous. Now go," Lorraine's voice drifted from behind to me, " "I can understand it's your first date. But he's your husband, " Livia muttered in my ear. I dug my front teeth on my bottom lips, "We should ask Carlos to pick her up.'' Lorraine smiled brightly. " No," I squealed in a whisper. " We should leave them," I heard the click of their high heels. I was wearing sneakers but no one needed to know this. Carlos was crisp grey t-shirt clung to the shape of his torso, and I couldn’t help but sneak a peek at him. He sauntered towa

"He's going to make your day," Livia muttered in my ear. There were soft murmurs in the room. I glanced at the designer, Scarlett and my to-be-mother-in-law. They looked like old friends. But they weren't. Now they were. I grabbed my phone, "Hi," She protested, trying to get my phone back. She sent me a sweet smile, "I didn't see it," Carlos had sent me a picture of a diamond necklace. He purchased it for me. I was going to wear it on our wedding day. "You're staring at the screen for a half hour." I shook my head. My eyes burned painfully with unshed tears but I wasn't going to cry. He was behaving like a perfect husband. And it was quite unbelievable. Was he showing off in front of our families? That could be. I shou

It wasn't hard to figure out that something was wrong. It was looking more than just multivitamins. I glanced at him. 'He loves Aidan. He won't do anything that will endanger our baby.' I held the glass from him and swallowed the pills, "Do you wanna go out for a walk after the shower?" He asked, quietly. "What does the report say? You won't do all this for me. Because you don't care about me." I taunted him. "I haven't forgotten what you did." He squeezed his eyes shut and rubbed his fingers on his forehead, "I didn't mean to upset you,' He added quickly. "Don't keep me in suspension?" I said, giving him a stare. He shook his head and cupped my face. My cheeks flushed. He drew his face closer, but nothing spoke. His thumb was rubbing the side of my cheek, making my skin tingle, "I should check on Aidan. He should be in his bed, "

My mind wasn't where it should be. We were going to wed tomorrow. No one told me what was then rumours spread out there. My family and friends were there. His family was here. "I'm a total mess. My stomach is growing. My wedding dress won't fit me." I complained. "Are you kidding me? You're two months pregnant, not seven or more," Livia rolled her eyes. ' She isn't wrong. I'm just worried.' "Yes, what's troubling you," Lorraine asked. I took a deep breath, "He's still mad at me for hiding." I shrugged. Both exchanged looks and came closer to me. They took me in an embrace.

Livia raised his eyebrows at me to grab my attention. My gaze was resting on my husband. He was saying something to Jasper and Ivan. His lips were curled up into a small smile. 'He's so charming,' "Yes," I asked her. " You're uncharacteristically quiet," She said. "It still feels like a dream to me." I lowered my gaze. I didn't want to hide my feelings from my best friends. 'I can't tell her in which circumstances we got married. But this weekend. He was pretty serious with threats. I don't know whether to be upset and relieved about the wedding. He hasn't talked to me in the loving way he used to talk before. The love in his eyes has hidden behind a storm of rage. A slow smile spread across her fac

" I feel like it’s been ages since we’ve seen you." Livia looked stylish in a green satin dress. "Hi, how's everything?" Scarlett hugged me tightly. Her face broke into a full smile. "Mom, thank you for coming," I hugged her. I glanced back. Jasper and Harry weren't around. I pulled back. Her hand cupped my cheek. " He's with Jonathan. I'm glad for you." I tried to grope the sadness in her eyes which I always saw after my divorce. I smiled. She had accepted our wedding. Lorraine stood from the couch and hugged me. She was also wearing a blue satin dress, "You look nervous." She said, I hugged her back, " I am." Livia winked at me. Ivan was also not visible in the hall, "How's Jasper taking this and dad?" I asked. &n

I picked a red satin gown for me with strips. It was a simple but elegant gown giving my body a mermaid look. The door creaked as it opened behind me. I placed my hand over my chest and looked over my shoulder. Heat crawled my cheeks, "You should knock," I said, taking a deep breath. "My bride is shy," He smiled, finding happiness in the designation. I wouldn't say happiness. He forced this wedding on me. I still couldn't believe that I'm married. I couldn't pay the price, going away from the people I loved. I couldn't obliterate what I had done. He could be harsher, but he was still sweet. I glanced at the mirror back. He stopped behind me. His hand brushed my back as he glided the zip up, taking his time. "I could be shy. But n
