View MoreA large group of people escort me downstairs. Because it is absolutely impossible to move in this dress by myself. The delicate lace of my gown sweeps along the polished wooden steps. I must move very slowly and carefully to avoid any mishaps. I grip the banister, my heart pounding with a mix of excitement and nerves.At the bottom of the staircase, servants hold open the grand double doors leading to the garden.The scent of fresh flowers wafts in, mingling with the warm early summer breeze. I take a deep breath, letting myself savor this magical moment.And there my dad is, tall and dignified, dressed in his sharpest suit, waiting for me just by the doors.āDad.ā I whisper, reaching out to hold his hand.He turns, his eyes softening as they meet mine. āNat, you look absolutelyāāāStunning.ā I smile, āI know. Mom told me the same thing earlier in tears.āThen I am shocked to find that there are tears gleaming in his eyes as well.My dad is never a man of emotions. This is literally th
The next morning, I am woken up by the early sunlight and a series of noises.Still half-asleep, I groan and rub my eyes, frustrated.What is going onā¦Who is out there screaming and yellingā¦Somebody is trying to get some sleep hereā¦Then something snaps me back to reality like a whipāFuck! Today is my wedding day!!!Then I hear my momās shrieking in the living room, āIs she still asleep? She should be up half an hour ago!āāShe is probably in the bathroom. Let me go check on her, Mrs. Ramirez.ā That is Jennaās voice.āOh thank you darling. You are a life savorā¦āLight footsteps approach the bedroom door. I only have one quick second to grab the sheet and cover up my naked body before the door flies open.āMorning NatāOMG, you ARE still in bed!āāā¦I couldnāt sleep last night.ā I swallow, pretending to be calm.Meanwhile, I quickly scan the roomāGood, Eason is gone already. I canāt imagine what kind of temper tantrum mom would throw if she finds out that we spent the night together.āR
Today is the last night before my big day tomorrow.Everything is under control. All the guests have checked into the mansion already. Through the window on the 5th floor, where my bridal suite is located, I can see workers working on the final decoration of the wedding venue in the garden.Everything is on the right track. Except for one.My mom.āNatalia, have you seen the seating chart?!āI stand in the center of preparation room, seeing my mom bustles around with a fervor that is both impressive and exhausting.Dresses hang from every available hook, shoes and accessories are scattered across the floor, and my motherās meticulous lists cover the desk. The room buzzes with pre-wedding chaos, a stark contrast to the calm I crave.I sigh, āMom calm downā¦āāI canāt find the seating chart anywhere! And we need to make sure the caterer knows about Uncle Frank's shellfish allergy!āāMomāāāAnd where the hell is your wedding planner!!!ā mom raises her voice and cries, āWe paid him 1000 buc
Eason and Mr. Ramirez heard about what happened later that day.āKatherine?ā Easonās voice darkens immediately. āShe is a fucking nobody. Her family went bankrupt. Their reputation stinks! How dare she fight you on this venue?āāAnd I hate it when people go behind my back and bother my family with things from work.ā Mr. Ramirez says with a frown. āI will give my people a heads-up, telling them to cut off any connections with her and her husband immediately.āLooks like Rosaās husbandās proposal will go down the drain even before it got a chance to be presented to Mr. Ramirez.It feels so great to be protected by your own family.Eason still seems mad, āI canāt believe anyone is still willing to marry Katherine! Donāt they know that this woman is crazy?āāRosaās family is new to the town,ā mom says.Eason lets out a snort, his green eyes gleaming icily, āMaybe they will be interested in Katherineās history.āI know what he is thinking.If he finds a way to leak Katherineās history to Ro
I stare at Katherine with shock.Seriously, I am the thief?!She is the one who tried to steal Easonās inheritance!She doesnāt look at all like the sweet and kind girl I first met, the one who exuded elegance.Now she is sharp and bitter, but her expression gives away how weary she really is. Her cheeks are pale, and her hair is dull and split. It must have been a long time since she last visited the salon.The bankruptcy really taken a toll on her. She doesnāt need me to make her more miserable. She has taken care of that herself.āMom, letās go.ā I give Katherine a look of disgust. āDonāt waste our time talking to her.āI grab my mom and try to walk around Katherine.But Katherine blocks our way again.āWhy are you leaving? Are you afraid? Afraid of facing me?ā her voice is sharp and shrill. āDo you know what people have been saying about you? You are a slut, Natalia! You steal other peopleās fiancĆ© because you canāt stand them living a happier and more wealthy life than you are! Lo
I widen my eyes slightly in shock.That is the last thing that I expect.Honestly, where does that come from?āWhat letter?ā my dad asks with a frown.āOh, there is a letter that Eason wrote to Nat years ago, when they first met. He chose to do ask her out in the most traditional wayāby putting it down on the paper. Donāt you think it would be so romantic and meaningful to read that letter on the wedding? You know, to commemorate the beginning of this relationship?āāWhat does the letter say?ā Hallie asks curiously.āWell that is the main thigānone of us know, except for the two of them.āI let out a dry laugh.My mom doesnāt know about this but the letter actually means more than that. It not only marks the beginning of our love, but also the years-long prejudice and misunderstandings between us.It is literally the start of everything.I look over to Eason and want to see his reaction toward this.ā¦He is blushing like a red ballon.I am so damn shock.Eason is the most barefaced, ego
I am too stunned to say anything.āWe are in Fiji? How??āThe last thing I remember from yesterday is drifting into sleep in Easonās arms. So did we take a flight after that? How come I didnāt have any memory of that?!āDid you drug me?ā I eye him suspiciously.He laughs heartly, āI didnāt. It all thanks to your own magic potion. Two bottles of them.āI rub my forehead embarrassedly. I was really hammered last night. I should have known that Eason was up to something to get me drunk.āSo,ā he smiles. āDo you like my surprise?āI stand on tiptoe to kiss him on the lips, āI love it.āNothing is better than a getaway trip to Fiji after an exhausted month.Eason knows exactly what I need.The smile on his lips gets wider as he says, āWell, wait till you see this.āHe holds my hand and leads me down the stairs, through the villaās back yard and out to the beach.The sand is white and warm. The ocean is turquoise-blue. And there is a long table set on the beach, surrounded by roses and lilie
Our lives go back to normal after we return to New York.I have my school work and job hunting to do. And Eason has his company. We all have our own ways to stay busy and occupied. Yet since we already live in the same apartment now, we still get to spend plenty of time together.And living with Easonā¦is such a magical experience.He has lots of works to do, and yet he still manages to find time to buy me flowers, make us dinner and pick me up from school.He also sent away the cleaning lady. Because I didnāt like a stranger walking around in our apartment. And he was eager to share the duties.He broke a glass the first time he did the dishes, sinceāapparentlyāsomeone like him has never washed anything in his entire life.But he is a quick learner.Now every time I come back to our apartment, the laundries are done, the sheets are changed and all the dishes are nice and clean.I felt bad that he needed to find time after work to do those chores when he could easily hire someone to do
Nataliaās POVThe rest of my Christmas holiday is amazing.Eason and I get to cuddle on the couch all day watching our favorite movie or reading books together. Now that everyone in this house knows about us, there is no need for us to hide anymore.The only people I am still worried about are Mr. Ramirezās friends and business partners. Those upper-class people can gossip.I just gave them one huge scandal to chat with when I exposed Ms. Griswold in front of a room full of guests. If they find out that the Ramirez heir is dating his stepsister now, God knows what more vicious words will come out of their mouth.Yet my deepest fear is bound to come true.One day, Eason and I are in the living room. He was playing his guitar. And one thing led to another. We start making out on the couch.No one is around. Our parents wonāt come back until after dinner. We both let our sanity slip away.None of us notice the front door opening.And when we hear a horrified cry, it is too late.I jump o
I am outside my boyfriendās apartment.I just took a 10-hour flight from East Coat to the West, transferred twice, switched subway, and then bus, just to get here in time to surprise him on his birthday.And here I am.Listening to him fucking another woman inside that door.āOh yesā¦oh Zack babeā¦fuck me! Fuck!āI can clearly hear the bed rattling, sweaty flesh smashing against each other, husky morns of pleasure.I clamp my hand over my mouth to stop myself from screaming.All these times heās been begging me to come and visit, and this is his welcome gift? Cheating on me with another woman?I feel betrayed, furious, and disgusted. Before I know it, Iām banging on his apartment door.āZack! Open the fucking door! Zack!āThe sound suddenly stops. A moment later, the door flies open as Zack appears behind it. His chest is naked, hair all raffled, I can still see all the hickey on his neck.āNat!ā His eyes widen in panic, āWhat are you doing here?āI canāt stop my voice from trembling. ā...
