I couldn't sleep the night of my wedding because I was so happy, my stomach bubbling with excitement and my head buzzing with thoughts.
Luke and I were stationed in separate rooms as required but I found myself tip-toeing to his room at midnight. We were currently at the wedding hall in which our marriage would be happening later today so as to avoid any traffic.
My face fell as I approached his room, I could make out faint noises that didn’t sound right, I opened the door a fraction and I couldn’t believe what I saw. Luke was on his back and my own sister was on top of him, and they were having nasty, disgusting sex.
Their faces were red and sweat glistened against them even in the dark, he kept whispering nasty words at her and could barely control how high his voice went.
They were so busy with what they were doing that they didn’t hear my sharp intake of breath or the sounds of my heart ripping in two.
"I thought you said you loved me, why are you going ahead with the wedding?" Scarlett asked.
"Of course, I do," Luke said. I want to play this game with your sister and shatter her heart. She's nothing and worthless to me.
Running back to my room, I almost tripped due to my vision blurred with tears. I slumped on my bed and cried my heart out. How could they do this to me on the day of our wedding?
Luke and I had known each other for years, we were friends before we began dating after high school, he was everything a girl could dream of, he was tall and handsome and he was the sweetest guy I had ever known.
He never cheated on me once throughout the years we dated neither did he ever take me for granted.
Our parents approved of our relationship so we knew one day, we’d get married. The very thought of becoming his wife someday always put butterflies in my stomach, no one could say a word against him, not even my family or friends.
One summer, we escaped to an island in Hawaii for a secret vacation. We lied to my parents that we were going with other friends but we went alone. Luke and I had been dating for some time now and since both our families approved of us, he was perfect in every way possible.
We went sightseeing, exploring the beautiful natural landscape of the place and the locals made me a necklace made of flowers. Luke said the pink flowers suited my skin.
We went swimming in the ocean and even had sex on the beach beneath the stars after dark. I was nervous and scared someone would see us but he assured me that we were alone on the beach and that he had paid off the locals to have the beach to ourselves for the night.
It was one of the craziest things I’d ever done. I couldn’t wait to get back and tell my friends about everything that had happened on the secret vacation but that wasn’t all…
On a night, he planned a dinner for us and he proposed. It was so sweet, I was the happiest girl ever.
The diamond on the ring was blindingly gorgeous, when we got back my parents were so happy for me, my sister, Scarlett seemed to be happy too. My parents called his and they began to make arrangements for our wedding.
They even confessed that they had been hoping he would propose soon and that they thought it was best for us to hold the wedding as soon as possible.
Having believed in fairytales all my life, it seemed as though my own life was now a fairytale, everything seemed to be going my way, I could even hit my chest and say my life was perfect.
He took me on several outings before the wedding and an engagement party was even thrown for us. He announced it to all his friends and invited them as well.
If only I knew what was going on behind my back.
I remembered all the sweet gifts and things Luke said to me, how he had treated me like I was the only girl he could ever love. Were they all lies? Anger replaced the sadness I was feeling.
I wiped my tears aggressively and took my phone from the dresser. I marched up to his room and found them still going at it in a different position this time.
I hit record as I fought back tears, recording them through the slightly open door.
I could only record a few minutes before everything became too much for me to bear, I stumbled backwards and accidentally hit an artificial plant that toppled over with a loud bang.
Luke and Scarlett immediately stopped what they were doing and Luke tried to run after me but I got away and hid behind a wall.
My heart pounded erratically against my rib cage as he stayed moments longer before returning back to his room where Scarlett was.
I put it off, edited the part where I ran and found my way to the projector where our slideshow- memories of us together- was supposed to be shown at our wedding ceremony later today and exchanged the file with their sex tape.
The slide show had been his idea but I had put the pictures of us together to form it up. It was ironic how I was the one ruining it by exchanging the file now.
I went to bed, heart broken and devastated, I considered going to tell my parents and putting an end to the wedding before dawn but I knew that if I did that, then Luke wouldn’t get the public disgrace which he so badly deserved.
As I struggled to sleep, I held on to the hope of exposing and embarrassing them in front of everyone later that day.
But what happened next was not what I expected at all.
What could that be?

Amelia’s povAt exactly 8am, I was woken up by my smiling mother and other people who I didn't recognise. I realised they were hairstylists and make-up artists later on. I was bathed in scented water and I was seated in my vanity. Then my hairstylist began, she flat ironed my dark curls which I didn’t like but Luke did. I wanted to protest but refrained to not alert suspicion, today would be the last day anyway. When she finished, my makeup artist stepped in before I could even breathe. She was giving me subtle nude makeup but then my mother spoke up; “I don't like that shade, give her bolder lips and eyes too, her her husband likes her looking outstanding.” My stomach twisted at her calling him my husband but it was the truth, he really did like me looking this particular way. By the time the makeup artist finished, my mom had little tears in her eyes as she stared at me through the mirror, she delicately placed the diamond necklace and earrings on me and sighed contentedly.“Yo

I woke up with a banging headache and muffled music playing around me. I opened my eyes slowly and remembered what had happened, a wave of sadness hit me as I stared down and realised I was still on the floor in my wedding dress. I tore the hem of it in anger and stumbled up, heading to my room to change into a tight, pale cream dress. I was supposed to wear this for the after party. As I approached the part where the wedding was happening, tears welled up in my eyes as I found Scarlett and Luke already married, seated at the love seat made for us, they looked happy together and my parents looked even happier. The after party had even begun, I wondered how they had found such a beautiful dress for her in such a short time. Perhaps she had hoped something like this would happen? My head was swirling, I felt nauseous. How could they have done this to me? Why was I so disposable? I turned away from them and let tears fall freely from my face, not minding if it ruined my makeup. I co

Amelia's povAs I arrived at the place I had always known as home, a pang of hurt filled me but I swallowed it down and paid the cab driver. I went up the steps of the front porch with all the hesitance in the world. But as I entered , I found them already waiting for me in the living room and a flicker of hope arose in my chest. “Where have you been?” My mother asked with an expression I hadn't known her to use on me before. “I left that place, I couldn't take it.” I said not meeting her eyes and she scoffed. “You couldn't take what? Everything that happened there yesterday was of your own making. You could have been a happily wedded wife but you chose to let your pride rule you and you refused to marry him.” She jabbed at me and I gasped.I choked back tears threatening to fall. “How could you say this mom? How could you blame me for all this? I never would have been happy in that marriage and you know it!” “So you chose to call it off at our expense! Knowing full well that th

Ethan's povThat night with the strange beautiful girl was one of the best nights I had in a long time. I had initially gone to the wedding because I needed to mingle. My board of trustees were threatening to pull out their investments and sell their shares which was going to be very bad for business. They wanted me to settle down and produce an heir, someone of my own blood and grooming who would handle things when I was gone. I wasn't a very social person. I wasn't particular about getting married so soon. But I knew they weren't bluffing, they were serious about their demands and while I was the richest young man this city has ever known, it didn't mean I wouldn't be affected if they all turned against me. So I agreed and that was why I was at the wedding in the first place. I came conveniently late when the after party had already begun and decided to scavenge for a woman I could make my contract wife. I was about to leave-most of the ladies there already had partners- when

Ethan's POVI have developed a likeness for her, so much that I can't wait for the marriage contract to be signed.Amelia is so innocent and I doubt she will hurt a fly. The way she cried the last time when she said her traumatic experience to me still hurts. How could they have done all of this to her? How? I was too dumb to have noticed she was going through a lot that night. I arrived late at the venue, afterall.I almost feel bad for taking her that way the other night. I want to take back the hands of the clock but I can't. I know I enjoyed every bit of the heat but then, it should not have been that way.Something romantic and sweet would have sounded better. A side of me is happy I didn't get to see what had transpired at the wedding venue. If I had seen every bit of the disheartening scene, I might end up punching Luke in the face.Not just Luke, I would also hit Scarlett so hard in her stomach that if Luke ejaculated inside of her the night before, it would gush out.

Ethan' PovI left the house this morning for work. I was in a hurry and I did not get to see Amelia before leaving the house.

I know she would not do anything funny, I just have to be sure.My daily routine is wake up, have my bath and take some tea before heading to my office until evening time before I can head back to the house. I am in my car alone, driving to work.My driver is on leave at the moment, he pleaded with me for a quick leave days ago.

Government officials are working already by this time. I arrived at the gate leading into the compound of my property, honking for the company gateman to open the iron jar for me to drive in. He opens the gate and waves at me."How are you, Peter?" I

Luke's POVAfter my wedding to Scarlett, I paid a certain amount of money into my In-law's account.Our deal was to have one of their daughters in exchange for my help. I had chosen Amelia and she, in return, chose me. My new in-laws have been on my neck months before I started a relationship with Amelia, asking for money to settle a certain man they were owing.I am not a person who gives out money in such a way without any exchange for something. I mean, it would be a different thing if I was asked for a loan, and not help. If I give a loan to someone, I would give a time frame with an interest request attached to my deal with them. However, the case is different from the Stones. I did not want to give them a loan, besides they would not have the money to pay me back, so I asked for what I wanted. Amelia was the woman I wanted amongst the two women the Stones birthed. Her dumb behaviour at our supposed wedding ruined everything I should have with her.At first, I was embarrassed

Ethan's POV I slept soundly that hour, almost dreaming when a hand hit me. At first, I thought it was in my dream, or a mis-thought. The hand butted me again, and I jumped up on the bed. “What is it?” I asked Amelia, she held onto the edge of the bed, gasping for air. “What is it?!” I asked again, holding her hand. “I think the babies are coming.” I thought I didn't hear the words clearly until she repeated them again, Pamela's name filled my mouth the next moment. I was more confused and hurt when Amelia burst out crying, it was in the early hours of the morning and definitely not the right time for this. Whatever it is that she felt must have hurt, deeply. “Pamela!” I screamed the young lady's name again, higher than the former pitch and tone. I heard the door of her room creak, and footsteps were heard. She was on her way. “What is it?” The confused woman asked, rushing to Amelia's side. “I think the babies are coming, uncle.” Of course, I know. The only thing I d
