Brielle POVJust as I was about to go away, he dragged me towards the centre of the room."I don't want to." He whined, turning around to look for his companion."Oh, come on." I am beyond frustrated now."Not before you dance with me." Even though he was drunk, I could see the glint in his eyes."What the hell! I'm not dancing with you. Now please let me go, " I tried to yank my arm away, but he held me so tightly against him."Then I'm not letting you go." Now, where is that cute girl? " He searched around the room.My foot, cute girlI was beyond frustrated, not wanting to be near him even for a second anymore.He smirked and pushed me closer to his body. I ended up crashing on his chest and scowling at him. He slipped his hands down to my waist and yanked me even further. I yelled and placed a hand on his chest to maintain at least some distance. My body froze when his hand lowered from the waist to the curve of my hips."Relax." He lowered his head to whisper in my ear, his voice
Brielle POVOne month later,I walked around the garden of our neighborhood, from my grandpa's home, for some fresh air.Finally, I did what I wanted to do for so long.I sold my dad's company, as I didn't have any interest in business. I was just so hurt from their death that I thought that I should do whatever they wanted me to become. I thought that dad wanted me to become a businesswoman. That's the reason I married to Zuriel to save my company, but a week before everything changed in my life.FlashbackI was walking in the hallway of my grandpa's mansion when suddenly my eyes stopped at my mom's room.My grandpa brought my dad and mom's belongings to his mansion and kept them in my mom's room.I quickly went towards my mom's room. It was the place where my mom used to live when she was a teenager.I smiled when I saw all the pictures of my mom, of her teenage gears around the wall.I'm nothing in her competition. She was not only so beautiful but very intelligent and smart too, w
I felt like someone was crying while holding my hand."Please wake up, Brielle," was Zuriel's voice.I tried to open my eyes, I tried to hold his hand back, but I don't know, I'm not able to, like I was weak very easily.I was smiling and looking around. The warm sun rays were pouring above me, making me giggle. I don't know where I was running towards. The field was big and the feeling of running was nice, but all of a sudden I stopped and I saw Zuriel.He stood there lost in thought, wanting to say something to me, swallowing and trying to say something but no words came out of his mouth.mouthI looked at the beautiful butterflies flying around, and I wanted to chase them, but my feet ran towards Zuriel, instead.I was eager to go near him. I was reaching out for him, but as soon as our hands touched, he disappeared and the field started turning dark and grey, and I screamed.I jolted awake, my eyes wide open, and there were noises all around me. Panic-filled voices. I felt suffoca

With luck on my side, I located the bus in a lane road outside of the airport.I'm Emberly Swan, and I'm 19 years old. I just arrived in New York an hour ago from Los Angeles; I didn't have any other choice but to come here, so far away from them, who will always haunt my soul, but I really miss Los Angeles, the place where I was born and raised, but I can't go back there now, and I won't be able to go back there in the future either, because some very dark memories of mine are present there.To be honest, I can't live without spicy cuisine, and my favourite street food has been t
I looked at my appearance in the mirror. I was dressed in faded blue jeans, a light pink shirt, and a denim jacket, and my lips were pressing into a white slash.I don't have many good-looking clothes to wear. They never buy new clothes for me; I always wear the old clothes of Deliah. I don't have any clothes that I can call my own. Everything I have is used by Deliah.I leave my long black hair open; it is naturally curly.I made my way out of the motel and pulled out my phone to search for the directions to the cafe where I hoped to have a job.Finally, after seeing the directions to that place on Google Maps, I made my way towards the subway station; I have to find a job as soon as possible.After twenty minutes, the subway train stopped and I made my way towards the cafe.I held the knob of the glass door of the cafe and entered. The delicious aroma of cookies with coffee touched my nostrils, making my stomach growl in hunger. Yes, I ate nothing except a packet of chips with a col
1 month laterOne month later"Thank you so much, sir please visit again," I said smiling at the customer while handing him the bag of pastry with coffee.It's been a month, I am working here in the cafe, and trust me this is the most amazing place to work as co-workers are very friendly and I was enjoying very much working here, but honestly said that voice which I encountered that day, owner of that car which I ruined, his deep husky voice was still very deeply settles in my mind with heart and soul, it seems like my peace, my concentration is always focused with a glimpse of that voice, after that day, but something strange also happened, here my brother Asher, he doesn't call me since a week ago, I tried to call him but his phone is coming out of reach, I just hope is fine ''Emberly, will you please do me a favor, dear,'' Mrs.Glint asked me ''Sure Bernice', just tell me what to do, I will say to her enthusiastically if she didn't give me this waitress job then how can I manage her
I paced around the master suite room, Sarah already gone, trying to save Asher in my clothing, and here I am, dressed in a yellow ruffled sundress similar to Sarah's, so that her father's men outside who were guarding her didn't realise she was leaving.She informed me that she would contact me when she and Asher were in a secure spot so that I could leave the hotel after that. I looked at my phone screen as I clasped my hands to my breast.But, first, I can't because everyone believes she's in this room getting ready for her wedding, but it's actually me who's there.I jolted as the door to her room swung opened, and I drew a deep, uneven breath before immediately turning aside so that my face was hidden and my back was towards the person who had just entered."Sarah, you haven't prepared yourself yet," I heard a female voice.I didn't respond because I was experiencing a bile burn at the back of my throat.When I heard their footsteps approaching, I tightly closed my eyes, knowing t
Everyone began to come up to us and congratulate us.Then Mr. Winston and Mrs. Winston arrived, and he looked uneasily at Mr.Adrian Campbell.He inquired, "Can we sign those documents now?""Sure." Adrian nodded and walked away with Mr. Winston.I looked around at the guys in tuxedos and women in costly dresses trailing after them.I'm so tired of being alone in the alter that I want to go back to my apartment.Then I noticed the escape door and decided, "Yes, I'll do it."I'm not going to let anybody take advantage of me; I know Adrian will find out the truth soon, and I can't even picture what will happen to me after that.Secretly, without getting noticed, I made my way out from the church,Finally, when I reach outside, I took a long breath, of relief and quickly took out that veil and runs away from this place.************I curled into a foetal position as my legs felt restless and my stomach churned, increasing my thirst with what had happened to me today, I got married and th
