I wondered what my life would be like; everyone now had a different narrative about me.

Lyla pov“So what do you have to say about this?” He asked me to draw back from my thoughts.I opened my mouth to say something and closed it back.“I was not drunk,” I defended.I am not even into alcohol. The last time I took tequila at Becky’s request, I made a mess of myself.He nodded with a tight smile. “Says the girl who had a bottle of tequila beside her,” he replied.“What?” My car brakes failed. I am a coffee girl, not an alcoholic, ‘’ I explained.His stony expression returned. “Are you going to take the deal or not?” He asked.I stared at the ring and at him. Marrying him meant I would be tied to another loveless marriage.And I truly wanted a break from all this. But at least, it would be better than Chad’s own. At least I know I am prepared to have any emotional connection.I also had to save my ass from this setup.“For how many years?” I asked.“Forever. You will be by my side forever,” he replied.Blood drained from my face as it turned white. Seeing my expression, he

Deep hurt pierced through my heart as I made my way to my car with a blurry vision.My heartbeat fastened with every step that I took. Immediately, I opened my car and rushed inside and closed it. Trying to close all the beautiful memories that filled my head.“No” I screamed as I hit my hands on the steering wheel. My heart heavy with anger. How could Chad just sweep everything we had under the carpet? All the memories we had from the university down to this time.Something wet and salty flowed down my cheeks and landed on my lips. I realized that I had started crying again.I shook my head. He was not worth my tears, but each time I said that, I remembered the five years of dating and five years of marriage he ended because of her.The sadness slowly turned into rage. My heart ached from the anger I felt. I had given up my dreams of being the CEO of a jewelry company to work as an accountant in his company.I knew I was more than that. I deserved more than that position, but I did i
I entered the room with a fake smile, even though everything within me was trembling with fear at the possibility of this baby being my husband’s own.Becky sat up immediately, when she saw me. She gave me her usual smile, which I returned with a fake smile.“Have you told Chad about the baby?” She asked. “No, he is in a business meeting,” I said as I gave her the baby.She gave me a tight smile. “I understand. He is a billionaire. He is always busy,” she replied.I nodded. An awkward moment existed between us before I finally decided to break the silence.“You never told me you registered your name with Mrs. Karma?” I asked calmly.She swallowed hard. I watched her expression for a while before I added, “I never knew you had suddenly become Mrs karma”. She stared at me for a while. “Well, Chad said I could use his name to avoid gossip. I didn’t think you would have a problem with that,” she said and swallowed hard.I nodded with a raised eyebrow. “I see”. Few minutes later my husb
“She looks so beautiful” Bailey,my younger sister, said sitting beside me as she took in the baby’s hand. The baby had fallen asleep.My smile grew wider as I stared at the new-born baby girl, my best friend had just given birth to.I wish she knew the guy she had a one-night stand with. He would be so happy to see his baby.As funny as it was, the baby had taken all the father’s features and none from his mother.Becky layed on the bed with a tired smile. “She already has five thousand likes,” she said, staring at her phone.I nodded. I had been so happy about the news of my best friend giving birth and had posted it on my blog.Becky cleared her throat and stood up “Can you take her to the PEDs doctor? She said she will have to give her some vaccines,” she said.I nodded with understanding that I knew she was weak. She deserves to rest after all she just gave birth.
