VIOLETThe car ride was filled with unstoppable chatter, subtle glances were being shared between the girls that they refused to explain to me but their usual banter was comforting as I sat there unknown of what future held. But what was more surprising to me was that they had stopped to pick Daisy too in our way to the New York City. Daisy who looked equally excited but more of a friend to Bree and Kiara than mine. When we reached the city our first stop was a shopping mall at Scarlett’s decree and both Bree and Kiara locked their arms and started to gear up to spend their husbands' money as they wished, like my brothers ever stopped them from doing so. “What are we doing here?” I asked for the upteenth time as I stood there with my arms crossed across my chest trying to not look at Kiara who was holding up strings of thongs in one hand and asking Bree and Daisy which one would help her in making Dom crazy. I don’t know about Dom but she was definitely making me crazy with putting
VIOLETEach of them beamed at me as I stood there in a shimmering pastel blue dress with my make-up done, hair set in perfect waves over my shoulder and a nervous smile curving my lips. “You look gorgeous, Vi!” Kiara said, coming forward to give me a tight hug.Mad, Dom and Alex each complemented me. Dom even had his phone out and took several selfies as if he wanted to commemorate this moment for future. All of them made me feel special and I was grateful for them to be here with me. I felt my nervousness settle a bit as all of them crowded me and we took pictures, their support and unconditional love enveloped me and for a while I forgot what I was going to do. What I had to do.When Alex announced it was time to leave, Bree took me aside and pulled out a small velvet box from her bag. When I arched an enquiring brow, she answered, “Mom gave it to me to give it to you.”When I opened it, I found a simple and an elegant necklace inside it. It had a shooting star in a middle of a cir
COLEI was getting exactly what I wanted but still there was a feeling similar to disappointment that filled me somehow and as I looked at her beautiful face, I wondered why.Apart from that one condition that she just put, everything was going my way and still— “What are we going to do now?” She asked, her blue eyes peering up at me. “I mean...about the girl you were supposed to get engaged to?” I smiled, cupped her cheek and brushed a soft kiss on her lips. She frowned at me, looking adorable in her confusion. “Cole?”“Hmm?”“I asked—““You are still here. Everyone is looking for you.” One of my twin sisters entered. Aria in her red dress, who was here not too long ago when Violet had interrupted us.And just like then, Violet stiffened by my side. Her shoulders tensing, she stepped in front of me and started, “He is not—”I squeezed her fingers and tugged her back. My princess turned to look at me with narrowed gaze and her jaw clenched as the infamous Carter anger surfaced in her
VIOLETCole grabbed my hand and tugged me to meet his uncle. The uncle who had been a mystery until now and someone who wanted Cole to marry to someone else. “W-what if your uncle doesn’t like me? I mean, you said he wanted you to marry into an influential family, right?” I asked, my mind going back to the conversation between his parents and him on that dinner when it was clear his uncle was the absolute authority in his family.“Right.” The sharp accented voice had me freezing and I could almost feel my skin icing over as I sensed someone coming up behind me. “And, yet here you are. Because apparently love is more important that family legacy and my own expectations.”“Zio, per favore, non cominciare adesso." Uncle, please, don’t start now. Cole stepped beside me, his arm coming around my waist as I slowly turned to face his uncle. The uncle I have heard so much about but never met or talked to. The few times I had asked Cole about his uncle, he had been reluctant to talk about him
VIOLETI stood in front of the floor length mirror, staring at my reflexion. I looked beautiful, as beautiful as I could be. A beautiful bride in a white wedding gown, a stunning creation of lace and silk. The girls who had come to do my hair and makeup had gushed all over the dress when Elle and Kiara had pulled it out of the box that had come from Cole with a note that said, 'I am counting the minutes'.And, I imagined Cole waiting for me at his parents’ house, because Mom had denied for me to stay there with him when he had asked. She had said in no uncertain terms that ‘Bride and groom won’t see each other before the wedding’. But unlike everyone else who all were excited for such a shot gun wedding as Kiara called it, Dad had been a little sceptical and reluctant to agree for this sudden wedding. He had said, ‘I don’t like how you are hurrying into this, but if this is what you want then I’ll be there by your side every step you take. I just want my daughter to be happy’. And I w
VIOLET The hours until the ceremony passed in a blur of love and support from my family, shared laughter and whispered reassurances. The bridal suite, a room that Mrs Bianchi had ushered us in, buzzed with activity, a contrast to the turmoil in my mind. Even as I smiled and let their teasing wash over me, a part of me was crumbling with the weight of secret I was hiding, it felt heavy on my conscience and pulled me into the dark path of ‘what ifs' that I didn’t want to venture on.When the time came to walk down the aisle, I took a deep breath and watched as everyone left the room one by one except Mom. She had tears in her blue eyes as she let her eyes travel down me. “You have come a long way, sweetheart. And I am so proud of you.” I bit down on my bottom lip, trying hard not to sob as I had already cried so many times when Mad, Dom, Brandon and Kiara had become sentimental out of nowhere. I was glad that Alex and Scar had chosen not to add to more of these emotional words and i
I want to wear his initial on a chain ‘round my neck, not because he owns me. But ‘cause he really knows me. ~ Taylor Swift.VIOLET“What are you doing?!” I squeaked as Cole entered his bedroom and slammed the door shut behind him. When he finally put me down, I opened my mouth to demand answers but he didn’t give me a chance to as he wrapped his hand around my throat and pulled me close for a hungry open mouthed kiss. I let him consume me, melting into the kiss and falling into his warmth, as he kissed me so deeply and thoroughly that it left me dazed.He rested his forehead against mine and his lips moved over mine as he whispered, “My princess. My wife. Mine.”Now, I was the one who wrapped my arms around him and kissed him. He smiled into the kiss. And as he picked me up, my legs automatically went around him. He laid me down on the bed and climbed over me. My eyes went to the bedroom door and sanity knocked back. I said, “What are you doing? It’s our wedding! People are—”“Peop
It was only when you came into my life that I realised it was worth living. ~ A. Gupta.VIOLET VIOLET“Whatever my wife wants.”I watched, anticipation filling my chest as he slipped out of his suit jacket. Next came off his waistcoat. Slowly, he started to unbutton his shirt, never taking his eyes off me and I felt warm heat taking hold of me as he unceremoniously threw it aside. And as his broad chest came into view, I couldn’t help but let my gaze roam all over him, his bronzed skin made my fingertips itch to caress every inch of him. And then my eyes travelled down his muscular torso to his hands that were now resting on his belt, and an involuntary noise left my lips to which he chuckled. “So impatient, my princess.”I shook my head. “Your wife. She wants to see her husband and put her mark on you, and then make you hers.”“Fûck.” He groaned. And then without wasting any time, he unbuckled himself, shucked off his pants and got nakéd in front of me.I sat back on my haunches, l
