I glanced at him. I found this weird. You know, he wants me to spend money. It's not like I'm having any problem spending my money, but he's the one who invited me here, so isn't it his responsibility to already buy those vouchers instead of waiting for me to buy them just because I'm a millionaire?
I shook my head. Maybe I'm just overthinking this all. It's not a big deal.
Sure, I'll transfer the money to your account. "Bring two passes from there," I said, shaking my head to block out any other unwanted thoughts.
I gestured to him, and he looked up, smiling, and went there.
We entered the club. The loud music directly came into contact with my ears, making me startled.
Almost all the couples were dancing so intimately, crushing their alcoholic bodies. Lucas turned toward me as he was walking forward to lead me. I pointed to the bar, where I saw long chairs facing the counter, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't impressed. Those bartenders who're serving the drinks are very handsome and good looking. I think I already have a crush on one there. He simply prepares a man's drink. I didn't see the face of that other man clearly, but I am sure he will also be very handsome.
I bit my lip. There are many handsome and good-looking people around me, even average-looking people, including Luke.
Wait, am I mad? How can I behave like this, attracting almost every guy here?
"Stop Bri, just stoppppp. You silly girl, "my inner voice snarls at me."
I closed my eyes and sighed. Bri, you are officially mental. Congratulations!
I chuckled at my own thoughts.
"What can I do for you, ma'am?"
"Hey, something light and less alcoholic please," I said to the bartender with ash blonde hair.
Where is Lucas? Wasn't he with me sometime before? I looked around to find him, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Where is he?
"Your drink," the bartender says, putting the glass in front of me.
I quickly took the glass and filled it with the whole contents at once. "Hey, I'm really sorry. I was just preoccupied with something, "Lucas said while sitting beside me." Even though his hair was messy and the upper buttons of his shirt were opened up, his lips were also swollen.
I nodded and leaned backward on my stool, towards the drinks counter.
"Actually, we should dance," I said while standing up and pointing towards the area beside us.
Many couples were dancing there, crushing against each other. Lucas
slid his hand down to my waist, tightly holding me. We started swaying to the beats of music.
"You know, you're so beautiful," Lucas said while his hand travelled under my shirt.
No man ever got that close to me, and Lucas was touching me so intimately. I've never felt how it feels when a man touches you, because I've never let anyone get that close to me when I was there in San Francisco.
So, I didn't stop him. I also wanted to feel how it felt to be touched by a man.
"I think we should go to the room, upstairs," he smirked while ascending to the stairs.
I can see several rooms around here. I frowned when I heard the moaning sound of women from a room we passed.
Lucas opened the door of one of the rooms beside us and took me there.
"Why are we doing this? We're not in any relationship, "I snapped at him. "I actually wanted to talk about that with you," he said. "What?" I whispered. "I always feel an attraction to you whenever you're near me, so I was thinking, would you like to become my girlfriend?" He took my hand in his and looked me in the eyes.
I looked into his eyes. I don't want to rush into any relationship around me, not at any time soon.
I shook my head while putting back my heels.
"No, I'm not interested in any relationship." I quickly opened the door and was about to exit, but a hand grabbed my arm, yanking me back.
"You know what, you're not worth any relationship either." Just who do you think you are? I have nothing in you that can attract any man, and you should be grateful that I even considered dating a shit like you, "he snarls at my face."
My veins throbbed at my skin. I gritted my teeth and slapped him as hard as I could.
"How dare you?" I growled, frowning at him.
"Lucas baby," a girl's voice interrupted us.
When I looked through the door, I saw a woman in a dark red short dress that barely concealed her blossoms and assassination.
"Ariana," Lucas' face paled as I looked at him, "why do you leave our fucking session?" she smirked as she ran her hands over her chest.
I stormed towards that bastard and slapped him as hard as I could.
"Asshole, you think I'm a fool. I'll let you take advantage of me, and how dare you touch me with your filthy hands? " "Listen, whore, you're nothing but an ugly bitch with nothing to attract any men. You should be thankful I even thought to date someone like you," he greeted and released me, causing me to fall on the floor and flee the room.
I kept sitting down there for some time, trying to process what had just happened here.
Soon, fresh tears started coming out of my eyes.
Did God forget to write "love" in my part? Did I really deserve everyone's hate? I just can't. I can't take it anymore.
I clenched my jaw and quickly ran my hand over my cheeks when those damn useless tears started coming out. I closed my eyes and sat on the stairs in my mind. I was startled when something hit my leg. "Shit, are you blind?" a deep husky voice jolted me. "Mind your own damm business," I snapped while standing up, ignoring the pleasing feeling I just got from hearing his mesmerising voice.
I believe I began to despise these male species. Now they're not worth loving. They are all players. They will never love you at all.
After all these years, I finally started opening up to new people, but it seemed like everything was over, and nothing would ever be right in my life again. "Just ignore this ugly looking duck, baby." I came to a halt when I heard a woman's sultry voice.
I turned around and narrowed my eyes at her. She gripped the arm of that handsome man whom I snapped at just seconds ago. I charged towards her and clenched my hands into fists. Grabbing her arm roughly, I slammed her against the wall, making everyone around me gasp in shock and horror.
"First and foremost, I'm not an ugly duck," I said calmly, yet dangerously, making her gulp. "And the second thing is, I'm minding my own business, so you better judge me, and you better not show your face to me again,"I snarled at her and turned around to walk away, holding my head high.Who the hell these people are. They think they can insult me like I'm trash and I will do nothing. Then they're wrong, very very wrong. No one can insult me without my permission.I can feel his eyes on me the entire time, giving goosebumps to my skin. That man whose voice makes **********I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Calm down, Bri, calm." I tried to calm myself."So, like this, you will do it, so your body and tense muscles get more relaxed." That physical trainer said, and I looked at the screen of my laptop and did as he instructed in the video. Finally, after my morning exercise, I took my energy drink bottle and set it aside, and made my way to my bedroom. Suddenly, my phone
Zuriel pov"Do you really think I'm going to let you ruin your own life by playing with different girls and bringing scandals every second day?" He raised his eyebrows, and I sighed."Those are just my one-night stands. I already told them clearly, no strings attached, they're just gold diggers, nothing more than that, and they're lying," I huffed while running my hand through my hair."Your dad is right, Zuriel. You have to get settled, either sooner or later." I want to see you happy," she smiled while placing her hand over my shoulder. "No, I'm not going to marry her and that's final." I frowned at them. At least meet her once. I invited her and her family to our upcoming charity event. "Trust me, you will like her, and you will remember the condition right," he said, and I turned around and sighed.My dad put a condition before me that if I didn't marry within this month, he would transfer his entire company to an orphanage.I have no other option but to get married, but a serious
Brielle POVIssac said hurriedly, "Are you sure you're going to do this," while Zach pouted alongside my bed. I know they both vehemently oppose this plan of mine.I nibbled on the inside of my lips. I know Luke betrayed me recently, but I won't let that stop me from seizing the possibilities that will come my way.Finally, I put on mascara to prepare for my said date with that man, whom I was going to wed shortly, my alleged future husband.**********Five days beforeBack there when Brielle and her family when to a charity event organized by Mr. Richardson "Aww, you're looking so beautiful, sweetie," Mrs. Richardson said, with a beautiful smile reaching to her eyes."Thank you so much," I raised her back, and my muscles tangled with the positive energy I was shaving from her.Indeed, she's a very amazing woman. She just felt like a family to me, even though it's not even hardly a minute passed since I met her.Next, Mr. Ricardson pulled me into a warm hug.She and Mrs. Richardon ar
I kept standing at my location, not wanting to turn back because I knew if I did, I would lose my cool."What did you say?" I whispered."Look at my eyes," he ordered, and I turned around and looked into his eyes. My family is my biggest weakness.Tears welled in my eyes. I bit my lip."Now, when my dad wanted me to marry you, we will get married because he doesn't leave any other option for me either, but don't worry, get ready to face hell now. Now you will realise what a devil of a husband you have," he said.A lack of energy makes my skin feel like someone is piercing it with a knife.Flashback over.************"Please Bri, no," Ivaan said while following me as I was heading down the stairs."Please Ivaan, it's already very difficult for me. I'm very nervous about it being my first official date with him. Please just cheer me up instead of discouraging me," I said while smiling forcefully, "I seriously don't want Ivaan to know what happened with me and Zuriel that night. I just
My hands grabbed the papers I was reading, but I barely looked at them because my mind was preoccupied with the message I saw on his phone.It was from a girl, who was saying how amazing he was last night, and she really loves the branded expensive lingerie set he gifted her this morning. He spent the night with one of his nightstandsI can't even believe I'm going to marry someone like him. He is a manwhore for real.I hate you!I kept my hand over my head, breathing heavily. I quickly took the water bottle placed in front of me and gulped it down.Suddenly, a sharp pressure formed inside of me, and I coughed hard.Tears started coming out of my eyes.There is no way I will marry him, not in this fucking life.Never!It's final. I will say a big no to him.I just can't do this. As for Ivaan, he is mature enough to solve his own life problems. I just can't marry that man. He practically forced Ivaan to marry him with the threat of ruining Ivaan's life, but now I don't care. Ivaan is n
Past Our paper got started, and as soon as I got the question paper, the teacher rolled her eyes at me.I know everyone here hates me except Faith.Finally, when I saw the questions, I sighed in relief. Actually, it's our social studies paper and I know the answers, so I will easily get passing marks on these.After writing those answers, which I remembered when I revised last night, I glanced at their questions, which I don't know.I don't want to cheat on this paper."Shh," someone says quietly, prompting me to look up.I looked up at Faith. She was gesturing me something. I followed her eyes. Oh, she wants to know an answer.I kept my head down and slowly nodded to her, and slowly took my answer sheet and passed it to her carefully.Thank God, the teacher is still busy with her phone chatting with someone I didn't know and was not interested in.She took my answer sheet and quickly opened the papers of the question booklet, trying to cover my desk so that no one could notice that
PastSeveral weeks passed. Everything was going as normal, except for one thing.Faith!!She didn't call me or text me after our exams. I just don't know what's wrong with her.And today is our result day too. I just hope me and Faith will get past our exams.God, please!Suddenly, my phone rang. A smile appeared on my face when I noticed it was my uncle's call, but again, today is my results day. What if I fail?"Mark Uncle," I said in a low whisper."What happened? Why are you speaking so cold? Is everything alright?" he asked me. I can sense he is worried about me."Today is my result day, Uncle. That's why I'm so scared. You know, dad and mom always wanted me to pass with great grades in my exams.""Now they're both not in this world, but I know they're watching me from God's home and I just wanted to make them feel proud of me," I sighed and rested my head on my hand.Just don't worry, I trust you and your abilities. I am sure you will get through your exams. Just never lose hope
Present"Bri, Brille," I looked around. Someone just called me.I was lost in past memories of my high school.My head drew back quickly as I saw my uncle Mark, smiling at me.I quickly threw myself into his arms.He is like my second father. He is my maternal uncle, the brother of my mom.and father of Ivaan, Ruhi, and Nancy."How is my doll?" he cupped my face, smiling down at me."I'm good," I sit on the couch looking down at the floor.Noting is time that Zuriel is forcing me to marry him and I don't like him a bit. We just can't even stand in the same room. How am I supposed to marry him when we hate each other so much?"No, something is wrong to tell me now," he asked me as his eyes tightened.I knew it. I just can't be able to hide this anymore from him. He can see in my eyes and tell what is running in my mind.If I put my head downward, there is no way I can hide it more."Actually, uncle, you know Zuriel Richardson," I said, looking down at the ground."I know everything alr

I adjust my eyes open and noticed; I am in some dark, isolated place they cuff my hand with metal chains and the same to my legsI heard the sound of waves like I am near some island or sea shoresideSuddenly the door of that dark room opened"You are awake darling," I heard a man's voiceI looked up to see who he was it was an unfamiliar voice but looked so dangerousI can't be able to see him because of the dark in the roomHe chuckled "want to see me," He sneered and order his men to open the windows of the room, when they opened windows, icy breeze wind and smell of fresh seawater waves through me like, I am at some seaside or on IslandI closed my eyes when they contacted sunlight directly; I felt the empty feeling in my stomach I looked up who he was. He was a man seems in his mid-sixties and he has forest green eyes and an ugly scar behind his eyes"So, finally you saw my darling," He asked me and comes near me. He lifted his hand to touch me but, I quickly jerked backward"Don
"You didn't attract from me," He said to smirk while coming towards me I started going backward, soon I bumped into a wall of the kitchen he cage me between his arms his eyes are on my lips, I blushed so hard feeling his intense gaze over me and the next thing he does is very surprisingNext moment he pressed his lips over mineI quickly grabbed the hem of his shirt in a halt with a small gasp, he is kissing me His lips brushed mine. Not innocent, like a tease, but hot, fiery, passionate, and demanding. I want to pull away before I lose myself, but I can't seem to...In this minty moment, my senses have been seduced and I can no longer think straight. "Eternity," he whispers slowly, prolonging each letter as if to savor them. I arched my head back closing my eyes, when his hand reaches my thighs and he clutched my waist so tightly, my heart fluttering at his voice as I clasp my hands on either side of his shoulders and gripped his shoulders. Never before has my name ever felt so wonder
When I saw a shooting star, I quickly gripped the hem of my shirt, I am wearing simple pyjama pants with a shirt, and I have felt that familiar sensation since childhood whenever I saw a shooting star, my insides always felt so light with a strange feeling that everything is going to be alright soon, even though I don't know why, but somewhere I am feeling that soon everything is going to be just fine, I quickly closed my eyes and joined my hands and started making a wish to star."God', I hope that I will soon be able to show my innocence to Aaron so that his hatred for me will disappear; I'm not sure what will happen after that, but I can't stand his hatred,"!!My eyes were closed and I was slowly regressing; I don't know when I bumped into someone, but I gasped as I felt it. As I was ready to fall because of a sudden chill (dread), someone seized me and wrapped his arms around my waist possessively.I slowly opened my eyes and saw the most stunning set of crystal blue deep eyes sta
"Oof!" I yelled.Arron abruptly halted and turned around, his gaze falling on my wounded leg, and he jogged towards me."What happened, are you all right?" he inquired, frowning and lightly rubbing my hurt leg."I slipped off so my leg," I explained to him, gulping and closing my eyes as I winced from the pain in my ankle. A small amount of blood is also on the way."Seriously, girl, why are you so clumsy and silly, huh, you can't even look after yourself?" With wrinkled brows and a straight gaze into my eyes, he remarked, shaking his head.I scowled and let out a little gasp as I looked at him. "It's not my fault, what can I do if I fall by accident, you're acting as if I did it on purpose," I said to him.As my shoulders slumped back, he checked my leg again, rubbing it tenderly, and I closed my eyes, biting my lips and swallowing the anguish in my leg."I'll take you inside your room," I split my lips slightly tasting his scent as he cradled me in his arms, my head resting on his
I noticed that man who was quite helpful, He's the same age as Aaron and is dressed in an Armani suit. With black hair and sea-blue eyes, he is rather attractive, but not as much as Aaron."Thank you," I said earnestly, my eyes crinkling."Anything for a gorgeous lady," he remarked with a grin."Well, my name is Issac Raccio, and I am the CEO of Raccio Communications and Limited Cooperation," he says. He smiled as he spoke to me."Oh, my name is Eternity Grang......, Um Knight," I said.He took my hand in his and kissed it."So, you're Aaron Knight's wife," he said, maintaining eye contact with me.I nodded and shifted my gaze to the way.He spoke to me while squirming and said, "Your name is genuinely very charming, beautiful name of the beautiful lady.""Thank you again for your kindness," I told him, noting that it was thoughtful of him to give me with tissue so quickly; otherwise, a chocolate stain would ruin my beautiful gown, which would be quite uncomfortable.He had said to
Wow, Eter, you are very stunning.Olivia chirped, her fingers splayed and one palm covering her eyes, beaming as if she saw Lilly Collins in front of her.I'm dressed to the nines.The crimson fuchsia high-low dress is cut vertically at the hemline, making it short in some places and long in others. The sheath prom gown clings to the body and conceals nothing.It clung to my body like a second skin.It's stunning.I don't know much about cosmetics or getting ready, so I asked Olivia to help me pick out a dress and apply my makeup for today's banquet party, which I'll be attending with Aaron."Wow, Eternity, you are looking so gorgeous," Amy exclaimed as she entered the room." Aaron is really lucky to have a gorgeous wife like you darling.""Thank you," I replied as I examined myself in the mirror as Olivia styled my beautiful brown hair."Look," Amy said, pointing to a pair of stunning diamond earrings. "Mr. Knight said you have to wear this to the party."I took the box from her and
I consciously opened my eyes from my slumber while lying in my bed, and I felt a soft quilt about my waist.I'm not sure how I ended up on the bed; I vividly remember passing asleep on my room's floor.Then I wiped my eyes, and the first thing I noticed was Aaron sitting on my bed, watching at me with concerned filled eyes. This was the first time I noticed he was concerned about me, and I sat up on my bed, knowing he was the one who placed Oilment and medicinal bandage on my wound."It doesn't hurt much," I told him, expecting to see a glimpse of hope in his eyes that he cares about me.My heart is rushing so quickly as I feel his deep gaze over me, halt at my lips, then my breasts, then return to my eyes."I know you care about me," I told him with a smile.That sweet expression in his eyes transformed back to a cold and harsh one when he understood what I was saying."No, I don't care about you; I only did this because I'm the only one who can damage you; no one else can." He mumbl
