KELSEY POV
I was really bad at love and it reminds me of that song bad at love by halsey. It feels like the song is all about me.
I just felt like drowning in my own sorrows and being lost. Lost at sea to finally find where I belong. Maybe I had a future but Marcus wasn't going to be a part of it and that was the most painful part of all.
I could picture a new house and soft giggles being heard outside. I would be in the doorway watching my baby girl play. She would be adventurous just like me she would love to explore just like dora the explorer.
Hmmm. The mere thought just made my heart swell with joy. But I felt guilty consuming me again. Would my baby hate me because I never had the guts to tell her father the truth about her actual existence?
I feel like I'm keeping her father away from her and once she's older she'll eventually find out the bitter truth and hate me.
The mere thought left me in ruin
KELSEY POVI sat on the sofa and stuffed my face with oreo ice cream. Jane and Sasha kept exchanging weird looks. I was watching a soup opera. It was very cliche but I enjoyed watching it. Besides it was interesting and it kept me entertained."Kelsey you know that you can't go on like this you need to tell Marcus before it's late..." Sasha begs.I stopped eating and stared at her in disbelief before I could reply. Jane interrupted me."Yes Kelsey Sasha is right I mean look at you it's been weeks now and nothing has changed. You're stressing yourself and this is not good for the baby" Jane mutters quitely.I was capable of taking care of my own child alone. I didn't need Marcus or his support."I think I'm handling everything alright without Marcus involved. I don't need him and he has no right to be involved in my life. He doesn't even kn
KELSEY POVI mostly spent my two weeks living indoors just laying in bed, watching TV, listening to music and stuffing my face and that kind of became my routine.I tried calling Sasha multiple times to try and apologize to her but she never answered any of my calls and I honestly think that I've lost my best friend for good this time. I took her advice for granted and now she walked out of my life because I can't handle my shit. The mere thought of her broke my heart and I just wanted to cry all day.Jane would occasionally come to check up on me but I kept assuring her that I was fine."Are you sure that you're doing fine? Jane asked in a worried tone.I gave her a small smile." Yes fine."" I could spend the night Kelsey just to make sure that you have all the necessary care."Jane was a good friend but I was doing fine on my ow
KELSEY POVI was waiting for Max to come pick me up but he was taking a bit long this time and suddenly it began pouring outside. I didn't even bring an umbrella damn it.I saw Marcus coming towards me and panicked. I couldn't let him see me now and walked into the rain to try and escape him but he kept following me."Kelsey wait!" I Marcus yells as he runs after me. The both of us were already soaking wet. He eventually caught up with me and held me by the wrist, stopping me midway."Please just listen to what I have to say..." He pleaded.Anger flashed in my eyes but I nodded anyway.I've loved Marcus since childhood and I want him in my life more than ever but the different circumstances keep getting in the way, always stopping us from reuniting. His fists clenched,hands shoved into his pockets. Brows brought together,jaws clenched. I felt a
KELSEY POVI cannot believe that Marcus Is finally declaring his love for me. I felt happy and sad at the same time. I wish things were different between us so that we would start over but I could see that it was already too late for us because Marcus was officially going to be someone's husband tomorrow.I stared at him with wide eyes, tears still rolling down my cheeks and surprisingly he wiped them away."Marcus you've destroyed everything between us and I don't know if I'll ever trust you again" she whispers softly.He nodded quietly.I know he has confessed his true feelings to me but still wasn't enough to fix everything between us."It's not enough…" I whispered softly."I know Kelsey" he rasped quietly as he stroked both of my cheeks gently. I had missed him terribly having him so close to me aga
TARA POVI loved my father very much because he always made sure that I have the best in life. He buys me anything I want and whenever I want his certainly the best father a girl could ever ask for. My mom doesn't like it when dad spoils me with goodies and luxurious things.I glanced at my diamond wrist watch impatiently mom was supposed to be here hours ago. I hate it when people are late especially on my big day."Miss Tara don't be upset I'm sure your mother will be here soon" my makeup artist Julie muttered coolly.I rolled my eyes at her while she applied pink blush on both of my cheeks.I looked very pretty."Julie you don't even know how my mom acts with me gosh she treats me like I'm not her daughter or something."I scoffed in annoyance." You know Julie we never get along with each other and honestly I don't li
KELSEY POVI was really glad to have such good friends like Jane and Sasha. Once we arrived at the wedding venue they all made sure to stay by my side.I looked at the entrance wishing that it was getting married to Marcus and not that witch Tara. Maybe Marcus is blinded by her money if that's the case then I'm very disappointed in him."Are you going to be ok?" Jane asked curiously.I nodded quietly."Yeah I want to do this Jane it's time I also move on and try to forget about Marcus."Jane gave me a small smile and nodded.I was really tired of getting asked the same question over and over again my answer also didn't change. My mind was already made up.We walked into the church and I noticed Marcus standing at the altar. He looked very handsome in his black suit and our gaze lingered for
MARCUS POV I was left in utter shock. "What?" What the hell was going on?" I looked at Tara and she was just as shocked as me but Mr. Eden looked damn serious. Tara frowned at her father. "I am an only child so stop this nonsense father this wedding is going to take place!" She yelled angrily. Mr. Eden sighed deeply. "Just let me explain everything," he said quietly. MR. EDEN POV I knew that this was a big shock especially to Marcus and Kelsey but this was the truth and I couldn't hide it any longer. I just couldn't get married. "After I saw Faith's picture in Marcus's house I remembered everything and connected the dots. You see I met Faith years ago when my wife and I couldn't have kid's of our own that's when F
CHAPTER ONEMARCUS'S POVHow it all began.“Chelsea I'm sorry just try to understand I did all this because…” I couldn't let the words leave my mouth.Her eyes met mine as she gave me a disappointed look.“Because what Marcus?” She demanded tearfully. Making her cry was never my intention, and it made me feel like a total jerk.“You ruined my life Marcus in your own fucked up away. You know when Max told me that you're the one who purposely got me fired I didn't want to believe him. Because I trusted you, but I didn't know that you were a phys co.”I couldn't just let her walk away from me, I knew that I had messed up big time and when all my shit got revealed. I had no proper explanation; it just made me look like a selfish greedy prick who wanted a woman all to himself.&ldqu

MARCUS POVThis whole meeting was a damn scam there was no partnership this was just some cover up just to announce this contract marriage. I knew that Tara was many things but I didn't expect her to stoop this low just to get what she wants. I was so furious at first she messed with Kelsey and now she thinks that she can just ruin my life. Even if we would get married it would be a loveless marriage because I am not in love with Tara her purpose was to only fulfill my needs but that phase has passed and I'm not that kind of man anymore because Kelsey changed me.TARA POVI can't believe that Marcus walked out on me. I mean this is our party and we are supposed to celebrate our engagement.Once dad was done talking to one of his business associates I decided to approach him."Father I'm so angry right now why didn't you stop Marcus from leaving?"
