Shania and Christian spent a few days in London and then returned home. When they were certain Kevin was okay. A whole week felt like a vacation. She was irritated at how nice Christian was. He tried certainly to be a good man and more romantic. He took her to movies and had long drivesEven if she hated him, Shania had the best times. Christian was a man who had traveled to different places. He knew the city like the back of his hand. Took her to pleasant restaurants, all he acted like a gentleman. It was late at night when the jet landed. Shania was exhausted She had slept, eaten her favorite food and woken up. “It's rather cold, keep this on,” Christian muttered and draped a coat around Shania's shoulders. “Thanks,” she muttered and kept her distance, as expected, Travis came to pick them up“What's up, Travis… I guess you had fun huh” Shania said to Travis as soon as they exited the jet. The pilot and the lady attending to her dragged their luggage to the car“Hello, madam, wel
Shania groaned in frustration, nothing made sense to her. The day was bright and beautiful. The sun was at its full peak. The location was mesmerizing, so green and the atmosphere was blissful. A perfect day for an outing. However, she didn't feel right“So you're telling me, the wedding is on…how is that possible,” Isabella asked for the fourth time making Shania even more irritated “I don't care okay…what I don't want is, oh Ace…you are so manly, so handsome…we should get married,” Shania said mimicking Ashley who didn't stop clinging to Christian. The day had gone by when the family announced Christian was marrying Ashley. It was worse than the annoying girl decided to stay at the mansion“Hehehe, you sound jealous … didn't you say Ace is a hooligan, and you want nothing to do with him?” Isabella asked in between chuckles, and Shania was even more frustrated. She didn't understand why she felt so angry“She's annoying, can you believe she asked me to help her arrange an extravagan
“What do you think…he's my brother, and he's so good-looking,” Ashley said cheerfully and showed Shania a picture of her older brother. Of course, Shania had nothing to say, the girl was so annoying. It was strange how she was so jovial, unlike how serious and cocky she appeared on TV and when passing for magazines.“Um, no, I'm not really…”“Come on Shania… I'll be marrying your brother, so you should marry mine…it's a win-win,” Ashley said, cutting her off and clinging to her arm. Shania was left in a daze, how was she going to get out of the predicament when the girl was hell-bent on making her a part of her shenanigans? “He's good-looking but, I don't think so…” Shania refused and shoved the iPad back to Ashley. The girl pouted and grabbed the wine glass placed on the side table. It was in the evening, and Shania came home after a long day.Ashley was staying at the mansion. It was awkward having her around, especially around Christian. Shania decided to have some time to herself
It turned out Christian had plans up his sleeves. He only dragged Shania to the club for his own benefits. Shania was surprised when there was an introduction of the butterfly queen. She was the queen so where did the woman come from?Her eyes narrowed as she tried to see who the girl dancing on stage was. Christian came to stand beside her while Ashley joined the others to the front. The club was cheering and men were whistling. The noise of the people and music deafening her ears that anger boiled within her."So, do you like her?" Christian leaned down and whispered in her ear. Shania was irritated with him. He was a jerk."Who is she and what is she doing replacing me?" Anger flashed in her eyes as she looked at Christian smirking at her. Shania ignored how cute he looked smiling, "I'm going to give Danny a piece of my mind, how dare he," Shania stormed away leaving Christian laughing at her. He chuckled and went after her."He thinks he can replace me…move away!" Shania lashed
"Christian, don't you ever get tired…I mean, for a successful young man… you are quite dumb," Shania said while she walked around Christian's office, She found his office quite interesting. She guessed that was how rich people lived. Fancy houses, fancy cars and spacious offices with coffee mansions, Air conditioners and among others. The one who suggested having the back of the building face the beautiful forest was a genius. The scenery was quite mesmerizing. Especially Christian's office."Sweetheart. I guess you had fun last night…just admit it…I make your life exciting," Christian remarked with a smirk and tugged at his necktie again. Shania noticed he had a habit of loosening his tie. It seemed he was uncomfortable wearing suits. Looking at him. She knew he looked good in whatever he wore, However, she wasn't going to give him the pleasure of telling him."You are like a leech… stuck to my butt giving me a headache," she lashed out dramatically and slammed her hand on the ta
Shania was surprised when Madeline told her that they were having visitors. She would rather not see anyone after a long day of work.Christian had gone out with Ashley. Shania was done taking a shower. Settled for a pink tracksuit and tied her wet hair in a bun when she left the room. She could hear voices coming from the living room when she reached the stairs. The servants were busy running around.“Hey sis, are you done now?” It was Rose who jumped out of nowhere and hugged Shania from behind, startling her.“You scared me…when did you get back, I thought you said…you were going for a sleepover?” Shania asked as both started descending the stairs. Rose beamed and grabbed Shania's hand.“Nope, mom said no…she said it's late… Chris isn't here to plead on my behalf,” the girl said with a frown just as they reached down. Shania glanced at her and shook her head, she found Rose's behavior cute. She was different from Luna, Rose was cheerful, “Let me talk to her, sleepovers are fun, a
“I… I don't get it,” Shania said shyly and tucked some strands behind her ear. It was late at night when she was taking a walk in the garden with Raymond. “Well, you are a beautiful woman… I wish I knew you a long time ago…” Raymond said with a chuckle and Shania smiled, all of them kept asking her why she didn't stay with the Kingston family from the beginning. “It's a long story,” Shania said, having nothing else to say. After dinner, Raymond requested to show him around. She didn't know the mansion well; therefore, she asked if a servant could do it instead. But Shania was surprised when Madeline pushed her to take Raymond to the garden.“It's a shame Madeline had hidden a beautiful gem for years… I mean, who wouldn't when you are part of the Kingston family,” Raymond remarked as they came to a halt. Shania nodded and realized they had gone further into the garden. She planned to only reach the entrance, who knew she would come all the way.“Come, let's have a seat,” Raymond took
Shania woke up to the morning cold breeze caressing her back and legs. She shifted a little, doing everything she could to ignore the sharp pain between her legs. But when her eyes flickered open. She slowly pushed her hair off her face as her blurry gaze darted around the roomIt was morning already, and it was raining.“Good morning sweetheart," she heard a deep sleepy voice murmur nearly making her jump out of bed. When she glanced at where the sound came from. She found Christian, staring at her with narrowed eyes. His messy hair was falling over his face.Shania found the man looking so attractive in the morning. But she chose to ignore it.“W-what the fuck are you doing here?” Shania panicked and gathered sheets around herself and fully regained her senses.“Baby doll…is it a crime, huh?” Christian asked as a lazy smirk crept on his face and he prompted on his elbows. He slowly glanced down his body and let out a low curse. Shania followed his gaze and quickly covered her face.
Shania and Christian had finally arrived in the City of London for their honeymoon, a destination they had both always dreamed of. As they walked through the bustling streets hand in hand, they felt a sense of joy and excitement that they had never felt before. “What about your friends,” Shania reminded the man about the three friends they met the last time they came here? “We are here…for us, not them,” Christian replied with a smile, and they came to a halt. They explored the city's historic landmarks together, admiring the stunning architecture. “I didn't know you were into such things,” Shania chuckled, but Christian only shrugged. He wanted to do something normal. He would take her shopping later and enjoy her company in the evening. “I sensed you wanted something quite refreshing,” Christian said with a click of his tongue. Shania couldn't help but smile. Indeed, Ace had different sides of him. He was wild, careless and at the same time gentle. “What happened to ripped pan
There was nothing Isabella could do. She surrendered to Shawn. The man who aroused unimaginable desires. Their lips met in a fiery and passionate kiss. The world around them seemed to fade away as they lost themselves at the moment. His hands found their way to her waist, pulling her closer as her fingers tangled in his hair, deepening the embrace. Their bodies pressed against each other, as the intensity of their desire grew with each passing moment. Their hearts beat as one, the heat between them rising with every breath they took. At that moment, nothing else mattered except the fiery passion of their kiss.“Tell me, you don't want this” Shawn muttered breathlessly as he took his time stripping off her clothes. Isabella was in heat, her body set on fire by Shawn's touch. His soft kisses and vulgar words.“You want me…only I can make you feel this way,” he added as he tossed her panties away, she was lying beneath him naked. Her tender breast brushed against Shawn's hard chest each
In the soft glow of candlelight, Ace and Shania sat across from each other at a small table in Christian's cozy villa. They gazed deeply into each other's eyes, their hands intertwined on the tabletop. It was a moment that seemed to last forever, suspended in time, as their love for each other filled the room.“Finally,” Christian muttered as he took a sip of wine, it was a lovely evening. After a busy day. Everything was settled. Kenny and Isabella had gone to their hotel. Christian took Shania away to his villa for some alone time.“It's lovely, I love the surprise,” Shania whispered shyly, she didn't expect the man to make such beautiful arrangements. “I made all your favorite dishes,” Christian remarked while showing the table full of her most liked delicacies. “Looks delicious,” the food was mouthwatering. They had barely touched them as their attention was solely focused on each other. Shania reached across the table, her fingers gently brushing across his cheek as she leaned
**Two weeks later**Two weeks passed like the wind, everything seemed to be going well. Shania was more than happy as they selected a few dresses to wear to Isabella's wedding. Even Madeline was excited. Isabella had been Shania's friend for so long. She was like her sister. Madeline took it upon herself to plan the wedding at the Kingston mansion.“This should do… I can't believe we are choosing outfits on the same day,” Shania giggled, knowing they had a whole Two weeks to find something to wear.“I know right…but who would blame us when we've been busy planning the arrangements,” Madeline commented with a chuckle. “This looks right,” Madeline raised a white long dress, but Shania shook her head.“No white, you can't outshine the bride,” Shania said, which made Madeline nod in agreement. She tossed the dress away.“Come on, Mom, look for something…. I'll check on Isabella,” Shania coaxed her mother to find something. Her room was a mess, but thanks to her daughter. She was able to f
“These Kingston men are like heroes…they see a damsel distressed and hump in to save the day,” Madeline said in between laughter as both mother and daughter agreed. Shania was surprised that her mom was once a stripper. It turned out Christian's father fell in love with her and saved her from such a job.“He was my regular client…although he only hired me to keep him company…his wife died, and he offered to pay all our debts,” Madeline said helplessly, recalling the situation she was in. She had her daughter to take care of. When those thugs wanted to use her. George stepped in and looked like a gentleman. He did what saved her.“I'm sorry, Madeli…mom…” Shania said addressing her by her name when Madeline threw her a questionable look. “I should have known… I hated you for no reason,” she felt ashamed, all this time she blamed her mother for everything when she only did something to save her family.“I neglected my child…but I didn't want you to go through what I went through…that's w
This was a court marriage, Shania was a bit scared, but Christian held her hand protectively. Isabella was a remarkable friend. One in a million, she did a little makeup on her just to look presentable and fixed her hair to fit the veil. Shania was worried this would turn out to be a dream. “Relax now,” Christian whispered, noticing how nervous she was, her hand turned cold. However, Shania nodded and fixed her eyes on the civil officer. “Go on, start already,” an overjoyed Isabella said with cheers, making Shania smile helplessly. Although this was a bad idea, it wouldn't hurt to try. “You look tense, I'll hold you,” Christian muttered and held Shania's hand tightly as they both faced the man reciting the vows. The entire time, Shania's heart was racing rapidly. This was too good to be true. I listened carefully when in reality I was imagining all sorts of this. Was this what I wanted? What if I was making a mistake? “Do you?” The man's voice brought me back to reality when I gla
Emily and Ashley stood face to face, Ashley was still in her wedding dress. Although her face was smeared with makeup from crying. “I can't believe you tried to kill her,” Emily said in pure disbelief, the only thing she wanted was to separate Shania and Ace. But who knew Ashley was a psychopath? “And you helped me, dear Emily …she's lucky to have survived because I would do the same thing over again!” Ashley remarked shrewdly and slowly approached Emily who kept backing away. “You are heartless…how can you do such a thing… I'll make sure Ace doesn't marry a lunatic like you!” She was mistaken to have thought Ashley would be good for Christian. Unfortunately, she was the devil. “How naive are you…that silly girl is going to die… I'll be with Ace and not even you can stop me!” Ashley made a low yell and attempted to grab Emily's hand when she pushed her away. “You are sick Ashley…go and tell Ace what you did…or I will,” Emily warned with a glare, but Ashley burst into laughter.
Isabela and Kenny rushed Shania to the hospital. She was badly hurt, she had a myocardial infarction.“What happened to her!” Christian rushed to the operating room as soon as he arrived. Kenny was there to stop him. Let me go!” He fought to get inside. His woman was there. “Stop it bro…the doctors are in there with her,” Kenny stopped his friend from causing a scene.“This happened last night, and you kept it from me” Christian was not happy as he pushed Kenny away from him and ran his hands in his hair. The entire family had rushed to the hospital after Isabella gathered enough strength. She went to the church to deliver the news of Shania being hospitalized, “It's not like you would care,” Kenny scoffed and fixed his clothes. His friend was already in his tuxedo, which meant he was about to get married.“Isa…don't lie to me…what's going on here,” Christian walked up to Isabella and asked politely. Unfortunately, Isabella was too shaken to say a word. Her friend was hurt and figh
“Are you going to stay here and drown in your sorrow like this,” Isabella said and attempted to take the bottles of liquor from Shania. For days, she had been like this. “J-just leave me!” Shania fought to keep the bottles to herself. She didn't care about anything. All she wanted was to be by herself.“Do you think drinking will solve this problem…go out there and stop that wedding!” Isabella was unhappy seeing her friend in such a state. Shania was the jovial kind but for the past few days. She had been drinking.“Shania, stop it now…leave it!” Isabella had had enough, she gathered all the empty bottles from the floor and took them to the kitchen. On the other hand, Shania was struggling to get up. With every attempt, she ended up falling.“Come, I'll help you run a bath,” Isabella came back from the kitchen and grabbed Shania by the arm. To know she come back from work only to find her friend in such a state.“You know…hiccups… I don't need your help,” Shania remarked between hicc
