The blue frock fit perfectly to my curves and the little makeup that I put on made me look confident. For some reason, I stopped feeling like a plain Jane. With or without makeup, I began loving myself as I realized I was not abandoned because my looks didn’t please my family. I understood I was only being hard on myself. What’s more, I got a royal look from my mother and a man to love me and look at me like I’m the most beautiful person in the whole world.I looked at myself in the mirror after I wore the necklace Hayden gifted me. He wanted me to look grand as I decided to attend the gathering that his father mentioned. His father was right. Hayden didn’t want to leave me and go to the party. He wanted to stay with me so I decided to accompany him. I had no idea what was stored for me at the party but I didn’t want Hayden to miss any of the important meetings.“Are you sure?” Hayden asked again. I turned around to look at him. He was charming in his expensive suit like a prince.I s
In my grand wedding gown, surrounded by people I loved and hundreds of other people, I walked down the aisle. My worries and nervousness faded when I met his eyes. He was standing there, looking so handsome in his expensive black suit, and waiting for me. It all felt like a dream. From fighting with each other to fighting together against everything our relationship progressed.I stood beside him with a bright smile on my lips. He leaned towards me and whispered into my ear “You look beautiful.”Then the ceremony started. Everything was perfect. All my friends and former colleagues attended, including Emma. I was sure they were surprised to witness a wedding that was arranged by the mafia people.Hayden spoke looking at me “You came into my life to brighten up my world and it was the best thing that happened to me. I will love and protect you till death do us part. Even in our next life, I will fight against everything to be with you. No matter who you are, Serena or Aurora, a normal
SERENAThis is when the little heart starts to flutter, leaving us to stutter, and fill up with burning desires, tempting us to commit sins. This is when everything starts to go wrong. When we meet someone whom we should not. I can tell you my not-so-simple story. ___“You are awesome.” A simple compliment makes one's day. I hugged Mira, one of my colleagues, who passed the compliment. “But…” And, a simple ‘But’ ruins everything, especially when it comes from the person, who's above us. "It should have been amazing if you have used tulips instead of lilies.” I nodded my head while faking a smile. The floral décor I have done at a party was appreciated by everyone except the so-called person in charge. She never accepted or appreciated whatever we did. Being her assistant takes a lot of patience. “I should not see any mistake in tonight's party. Don't do anything without my permission. You all… be my good assistants.” She then looked at me and said “Don’t try to act like the bos
Never in my life have I thought I would be scared only by someone's voice. His aura was dominating which made me gulp. What's more, he called me a little girl when he, himself, looked the same age as mine."I am twenty-three," I yelled. "And, I could understand you also must be of the same age." I scoffed. When he tried to free his hand from my grip, I held it with both my hands, and shouted “Are you insane?” He narrowed his eyebrows, and at the same time, he clenched his jaw. “What did you say?” With all my strength, I pulled him back while he looked at me with a serious as well as confused face. “You…” I didn’t let him finish his sentence. I shouted “I know life is tough but it is not an option. I don’t know what your problem is, but if everyone, who has problems decide to die, then no one will remain on this earth.” “Listen…” he pointed his finger at me. “Life is precious. Think about your family before you commit suicide.” I tried to put some sense into his head. “Suicide?
Sometimes, the things we thought would never appear in our lives again, would come rushing toward us. A mere coincidence or if fate has already planned it, no one could tell. “Do you like staying in my arms this much?” He smirked, as I remained in the same position without even attempting to move. Immediately, I stood straight and asked “Were you following me?” He gave me a deadly stare that made me think I was not even worth being followed by anyone. “I… didn’t mean to be rude.” I scoffed. “Of course, why would anyone follow me?” “What are you doing alone here? Aren’t you aware of the crime rate or are you not scared of people, who commit crimes?” Not just his words but his eyes were commanding. Who could he be? He seemed as if he were a walking mystery. “I… I was with my friend and…” I stopped speaking. “W-wait! Why am I even explaining to you?” “Because I asked you a question.” He rolled his eyes. I stepped forward to leave but he stopped me, saying “Don’t go that way.”“W
I could not believe what I was seeing. The man, who left the hospital, without even informing anyone came back after two weeks. At my house, in front of me. “You…” “Ms. Serena! I’m sorry for leaving without informing you.” He apologized. “I had some work to take care of.” Even though I was raging, I simply nodded my head. I could not get into fights with elders. “How do you know my place? And, how do you know about me?” “I have gathered your details from the hospital staff. I have connections.” He winked. When I didn’t reply to him, he said “I think you are so angry at me. Can’t you forgive, thinking of me as your father?” Father? I knew it was just a word that slipped out of his mouth and it meant nothing to him but it made me smile a little. I shrugged my shoulders, saying “Fine! That’s okay. You must be having your reasons but it would have been nice if you have at least left a message.” “I apologize again.” He said and became silent for a few seconds. “Well… I am
Again. I saw him again. The shirtless, muscular man in front of me was Hayden, and the funniest thing was I came to deliver flowers to him. “Care to explain what you are doing here?” He asked in his usual serious tone. “You are taking pictures. Who the hell are you? Are you spying on me?” I let out a sigh after hearing him. There we go again, him and his narcissistic self. “Instead of helping me, you are posing questions. Do you think so highly of yourself? I’m not here to spy on you, I’m not your fan girl.” I rolled my eyes. “I came here to deliver your black roses.” “And, where is my bouquet?” he asked, crouching down. I bent my head down and mumbled “It fell into the pool.” Through the corner of my eyes, I saw him extending his hand. “Come out of the pool.” “No!” “Why? Do you like my swimming pool this much?” “I am drenched,” I shouted, frustrated. Then I noticed him walk towards the sun lounger and took the towel that was on the seat. He put it on the ground and turned b
SERENA Wow! Interesting wall. No, no, interesting vase. The color, the shape… Don’t speak. “Fuck!” I let out a sigh as I couldn’t get deviated from his thoughts despite how much I tried. That moment was still playing in front of my eyes, the way he held me and looked into my eyes. “What are you thinking about?” Mira asked, standing beside me. “About the arrival of your childhood love?” “Mira!” She wiggled her eyebrows. “Not him…” I pressed my lips together. “There was this guy… a mysterious one…” I saw her getting excited. “And…?” “And nothing.” I laughed. “He was different. Whenever we met, we always quarreled. That arrogant jerk…” “Are you changing the hero of your story? Or what?” she started to tease me. “No!” I made a proud face. “Because the hero of my story is myself.” I sold the last bouquet before I started to walk out. When I opened the door, I saw Mr. Otis in front of me. In his casual hoodie, spectacles, and a different hairstyle, I nearly couldn’t re
