Mrs. Helena accepted me as her daughter-in-law again? It doesn't make sense, especially since i know how she hates me for being with her son and she was determined to separate us in order to make way for the favored one, Regina.I'm sure there's more than meets the eye. "Do you think your parents are sincere enough to say that?" I asked Lorcan while i was sitting on his lap, my hands were resting on his shoulders."I feel like they're up to something." He said in a deep voice. I knew it. We're thinking the same!"I heard them once the last time we stayed at the mansion... i passed by the library and overheard their conversation about us. They were planning something to ruin us." I spilled it on him.His dangerous gaze darted at me."What took you long enough to inform me about it?" It made me swallow hard."I-i gradually forgot about it... I'm sorry." I was about to look down on our fingers but he didn't let me, he raised his hand to hold my face and made me face him still."I don't
"Get inside!" One of them told me. I stubbornly shook my head."N-no way!" I shouted, my tears were flowing continuously.Why is this happening? This day is supposed to be my dream wedding... our church wedding."Don't make me repeat myself, woman!" The taller man pointed his gun at my temple. I trembled in fear."Come on!" Another man forcefully pushed me to sit on the backseat. "Gregory, drive!" He said to the man in the driver's seat. Before i could try to escape and open the car, the man beside me vigilantly locked it up. I sobbed more. This is crazy! I feel hopeless..."Don't sweat it. You can't leave our watch." He threatened in a monotone.My tears fell, one after another. My supposed to be fresh makeup is now ruined, my hair is in a mess right now, i can tell, and my veil, it's loosening from its clip. Teardrops were falling gradually on my gown. I looked outside the window and saw the car of their allies. It's keeping up with our pace. It dawned on me that there's really no
"Unfortunately, your hero can't save you right now, princess." One of them taunted and it was followed by their annoying maniac laughs.Clenched fists, i looked down and let my hot tears drop on my gown. I probably looked like a mess bride now. I was thinking all about Lorcan when the car suddenly stopped and they whistled cheerfully. Moments later, they stepped out one by one before the man named Gregory pulled me out of the car. I flinched at the way he held me, there was no hint of gentleness at all. What can i still expect from people like them anyway?"Walk!" One of them rudely pushed me, making me almost stamp on the ground.I tried to glare but the mouth of his caliber 45 was quick to touch my head. One wrong move and i know, goodbye world. So, i contained my raging emotions and kept my mouth shut, despite the urge to run away from all of them. But I can't possibly do that, especially because this place where they brought me is an unfamiliar one.There were dead trees around,
The obvious shock mixed with pure mockery has plastered on Domina's fucking face. "Oh. Didn't know a thing? What a poor innocent soul!" She gasped fakely, annoying me more.My fists tightened behind me, stretching out the ties gripping on each of them. Breathing furiously, my disgusted look for her never goes away and to make it more disgusting, she's still nastily naked in front of my sight! Fuck this overly confident nympho.Or should i say, psycho."Such a disgusting woman... you two should rot in hell." I mumbled weakly, wincing in pain one after another.Her crimson lips curved a sinister smirk as her eyes turned into slits. "Aren't you curious? About how i convinced that girl to side with me?" I just stared at her murderously, making sure she's feeling all the killing intent flowing all over my system."Oh. Not interested? What a shame," she took another step forward, her breasts bounced once again. "In order to lure an enemy, be the sweetest friend first and make sure to off
"You have to marry Mr. Lorcan Amadeus, Atasha."That was my mom's sweetest welcome right after i came home from a high-end club which I can't remember the happenings last night anymore because i was too wasted. Blame it on the Bacardi that Sydney made me gulp for about twenty times, i think? Ugh, nevermind the numbers! But seriously, i feel sore all over my body and one thing is I'm sure... I may have forgotten some details of events last night at the club but somehow, i can still remember that particular steamy moment i had with a stranger. Oh shoot, right! I slept with a random man and worse, he got my first V-card! Damn it..."Atasha, are you listening?" Mom snapped my senses back. She's arching her brow at me while holding her waist.My forehead crinkled at her. "Come again, mom? Marry who?" I asked again, hoping i just misheard it."I said, you will marry Mr. Lorcan Amadeus for the betterment of all, for the sake of our growing business---" i gasped as i cut her off. "No!" Ar
I don't know how to start again. I think everything is back to zero, and after leaving his place and life, it's as if i also lost a certain part of me. My phone vibrated on the table and i can guess it fifteenth attempts since earlier i sat here. Layla Rae is on the caller ID. Oh jeez, mom. Why do you have to be this persistent?Yeah, right. Because i disappointed them big time and they are enraged now because their ace of a daughter has accepted the divorce offered by her oh-so loving husband. Note the sarcasm.I took a very deep breath before i decided to answer the call. "Mom," i uttered as i readied myself for her to burst out."You wench! What have you done?! Why would you sign the divorce paper? Was that all you've got, huh? We didn't teach you to be this weak and pathetic, Atasha!" She was hysterically saying on the other line. I inhaled sharply. Nice. They didn't even ask me first about how I feel. Of course, when did they consider my feelings as their top priority anyway?
"Miss, are you going out or what?" An impatient voice pulled me from being astonished. "Oh. I'm sorry, ma'am." I quickly stepped out of the elevator and gave her a way in.This is ridiculous. I felt stupidly stunned for a moment. Probably it was his ego talking? For all i know, he never meant those words and he was just challenged with the idea of his ex-wife getting herself a new lover which is not so true and purely absurd. I don't need a man to get even and use it for my own benefits. Especially that Seijan Williams? Oh please, I have no plans to deal with a seventeen year-old boy hiding in a twenty-four year-old man's body. And he's my freaking boss for pete's sake!Later on, after reciting the 'Lorcan ego thing' in my mind repeatedly, I have successfully convinced myself. Better than assuming things and becoming a delusional bitch."Atasha, i have an urgent meeting to attend to. Come with me." My boss, Mr. Seijan Williams called me on the intercom."Coming, Sir!" I was half-run
"I don't know what you're saying!" I gathered all my strength to push him away and i succeeded!He stepped back a little, i took that chance to escape from his arms and started half-running away from him."Go on, Atasha. You run, i chase. Let me play your game." I heard him say which was already enough to bombard my heart.Goodness gracious! That was so close, pretty close.Despite not having a confirmation yet, i still need to be vigilant around him. I can't let him know the result of that one steamy night. Call me selfish and such but this is my firm stand. Maybe i would give him a chance to be a father to the child but not now where everything is still complicated, and the wounds in my heart that he inflicted are still fresh and painful.After all, I'm aware that there's no secret that will remain veiled. Time is the only truth teller."Miss Rae, what happened? Are you feeling okay?" Mr. Williams welcomed me with his questions the moment i walked back to our table. "I'm fine, Sir.
