I was drawn to the young man on the large bed as I walk into his room. A deadly gorgeous man probably in his late 20s. With my legs shaking, I slowly walk closer but end up slumping on the floor. I can't believe my family did this to me. Especially, my father, he turned his back on his only daughter. He got me married to a dying man all because of money! I stood up again and lean my face closer to his, indeed, he is a gorgeous man. If he were to be perfectly fit, any woman would lick the floor he walk on. I can't help but imagine if he were not to be in this state, would I have still become his wife? I don't think so. **** "You're nothing but a pawn in my game, don't you dare expect anything from me. I had to play along so I can get my wealth back from you" She felt betrayed. She thought he liked her considering how he has been treating her nicely in the past months. She thought every action of his was genuine not until she overheard William’s conversation with his friends. After the confrontation, William completely changed and become so cold toward Seren. She was so devastated, she couldn't believe she was used by the man she was deeply in love. She couldn't believe he turned out to be after nothing but revenge. Several nights, he brought home different girls just to torture her, she isn't allowed to look at any other man with her beautiful gaze. She isn't allowed to talk to any man, she isn't allowed to get closer to any man. He claimed her as his but, wouldn't give her the love, respect, and care that she deserves.

I asked in as calm a tone as I could manage.This woman keeps getting on my nerves. I couldn't explain why, but all I saw when I looked at her was Janet."I'm warning you, Seren or whatever your name is...." She trailed off, her voice stern and menacing. "Wherever you crawled out from, crawl back there. This family isn't for you."I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. "Is that a threat?" I asked, trying to keep my cool.Rather than answering my question, Brenda repeated herself again. "Stay away from my family, or you won't like the outcome. That's all I have to say." She threatened me again, brushed past me with all her might, and walked away. I just stood there, staring at her retreating back in horror. What just happened? Did she really just threaten me?My phone vibrated, breaking me out of my thought an
Serenity Jones"Yo... you're... you're willing all your properties to me?" I stuttered, a surprised look plastered on my face."Yes, dear." He replied briefly, placing both hands on my shoulders. Our eyes locked, and I felt a sense of astonishment wash over me.I sat there, amazed, staring deeply into the papers in my hands. I was short of words, but something inside me urged me to speak up."B... but... I..." I started to say, but my words trailed off before I could finish my statement."No but, Serenity. Dear, listen carefully to what I have to say." He said, his eyes locked intensely on mine. "I need you to take charge of all my properties before your husband wakes up. I fear I may not be here anymore by then, and I need someone trustworthy to manage my businesses perfectly until he wakes up and can take over again."As he spoke, a thought flashed through my mind. "Am I being used for the second time again?" I wondered, feeling a sense of unease."Firstly, sir, I understand your co
Serenity Jones"Why did you decide to marry Williams?" He asked, his question piercing the air like a challenge. All eyes snapped to me, and I felt a surge of discomfort. It was clear that I wasn't welcome here. I tried to respond, but my words caught in my throat. "I... I..." I stuttered, but he cut me off before I could complete my words."Stop stuttering and tell us why you're really here!" He bellowed, his voice making me tremble with fear. My anxiety spiked, and I felt like I was under attack. The fact that I wasn't the type to easily get intimidated by people, but I don't know what's going on presently. Why am I suddenly scared of these people. I've stood up to rich and powerful men before, I've always give presentations in the board meetings. I was always confident. But now, I felt overwhelmed by all these people questioning me.Just then as many thoughts were still going through my head, Mr. Smith spoke up for me. "Let her be, Andrew. You're asking too many questions and ma
Serenity Jones"Stop this nonsense at once, Brenda. You realize we're in William's room?" "I don't care! I don't care Dad. How could you give everything you worked so hard for to a-"Just before she could finish her statement, Mr Smith dragged her out of the room with her daughter or sister, I have no idea who she's trailing behind them but not without her giving me that murderous look before walking out.My heart skipped again but at the same time, I had to remind myself that it's nothing to be worried about. I've encountered more of this from Janet and her daughter. I found myself sitting on the bed as my gaze fixed on my supposed husband lying peacefully on the bed. "How much longer do I have to keep up with this?" I thought, sighing. Time went on so fast that I ended up falling asleep while waiting for Mr. Smith.•I woke up the next morning beside a man in a strange room. I started to panic as I wondered what I was doing here, until I remembered that I got married to this man
Serenity Jones I entered the room with tears welling up in my eyes. My gaze was immediately drawn to the young man on the large bed- a very good looking handsome man, likely in his late 20s. As I approached him, my legs trembled beneath me and I ended up collapsing to the floor. I couldn't believe what my family had done to me, especially my father. He had abandoned his only daughter, sacrificing me for his position by marrying me off to a dying man. I stood up again and leaned my face closer to his, confirming that he was indeed a stunningly handsome man. If he were healthy and strong, any woman would undoubtedly be smitten by him. I couldn't help but wonder, if he weren't like this, would I have still become his wife? I doubted it. I'm just realizing now that I knew so little about this man. His grandfather had only told me his name and the story of the terrible accident he had been in with his girlfriend. She had died instantly, while William had fallen into a coma, where h
Serenity Jones After the incident that occurred between my Dad and me earlier, I ended up locking myself up in my room. I cried my eyes out because it was the first time my Dad raised his hand on me. Minutes later I got in my room, I heard him knock on my door, apologizing for what he did. He asked I open the door so we can talk but I turned a deaf ear to his request. I wasn't in the mood to talk to him. Realizing the company I kept striving hard to make one of the best is on the verge of crashing isn't enough but now, I have to get married to a man I know nothing about. Minutes passed, hours passed and I got tired already sitting in my room and doing nothing. I decide to go to a bar and clear my head. I freshen up, get dressed and walk out of my room. I walk past my stepmom's room but suddenly stopped walking as I heard my name being mentioned. Janet and her devilish daughter again! Even though I'm aware this is wrong of me yet, I end up leaning on her room door and listeni
