Genevieve was a sweet and innocent girl who has always dreamed of having a simple life; a loving and caring husband. But she’s forced to abort that dream when her parents showed up years later to take her back home and not only that, she had been engaged for years to Marcus who didn’t want her. Genevieve was left to face the humiliation when her fiancé left her hanging at their engagement party. Would this stop her from getting what she wants or was this just a trial?
View MoreGenevieve.I blinked once, twice then uncountable times, I couldn’t think properly after hearing that. I wonder what he meant by saying that and why. I wasn’t his in the first place so why did he call me that?I looked at him quizzically, with my eyebrows furrowed.“I….I don’t understand,” I whispered, looking at his eyes.“What I mean is that you are already mine after the stunt you pulled back at the party. You don’t think I wasn’t going to react and your plan would work right?” He asked and I didn’t know what to say.I was speechless.I shouldn’t have done this, I should have done what Mother wanted and then I wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place. Just when I thought I had control of my life, I lost the damn control and gave it to someone else. Someone more powerful than my family, what the heck was I even thinking by mentioning his name?“I will help you, Miss Parker,” I snapped out of my thoughts.“Help me with what?” I asked since I didn’t get what he had said before.And
Genevieve.I looked at him in shock, the only thing that came to my mind was why? Why was he going to help me when I’ve caused trouble for him?He must have seen the doubtful look on my face because he went on.“I didn’t say I would help you, Miss Parker, it’s under a probability,” he added and I gulped.I played with my fingers as I contemplated what he said, I wondered if I should tell him why I did that back at the party or if I shouldn’t. I didn’t want to add to the people who looked at me like I was a failure, I didn’t want him to look at me that way.“I…” I blinked,“It’s…..it’s nothing Mr King,” I lied and bit my inside cheek after doing that.Gosh, I think I just dug a bigger grave for myself.I refused to look at him after saying that and after not hearing from him for about two minutes now I was getting scared. I wanted to know what he was thinking, he shouldn’t be silent.He should yell at me and perhaps call the cops on me, that would be ten times better than him keeping s
Alexander.She was more tiny than I thought, seeing her squirming in her seat beside me made me feel a bit happy. I sound sick but there’s this feeling in my heart, I was excited to see her squirm around in discomfort.She deserves that, I was on my own when she decided to drag me into her mess. I did a little calculation on our way to my home, and after thinking very hard I got the reason why she did this.Her fiancé who she was supposed to get engaged to tonight ditched her for someone else and to save face she decided to call on some random dude as her new ‘fiancé’ even without knowing the person. But unfortunately, she picked me, out of all the free men at her stupid party she decided to pick me.She definitely didn’t know about me because if she did I don’t think she would have bodily said my name like she did.Throughout the ride, my phone didn’t stop ringing and since I already knew who it was I didn’t pick up; what was I supposed to say to her? I knew she was calling because o
Genevieve.The whole ride was silent, I couldn’t make a sound nor move nor could I even speak up. It felt like my ass was glued to the seat as I looked ahead, hell I couldn’t even look at the man beside him. He seems to be radiating anger and I don’t want to say anything that would anger him more.I have already done worse by telling everyone that he’s my new fiancé even though we don’t know each other. If I was the one in this position I would be angry too.I’m scared, all the confidence I had back in the hall was gone. All I wanted to do now was go to my room and sleep on my comfy bed. I didn’t want to be here, I didn’t want to be in the same car as this fine angry man.If it was another situation I would be more than happy to share a ride with him but now, I have done something terribly wrong. Something I can get punished for.I have always known my mouth would put me in trouble one of these days and that’s today, today I dug a hole for myself. From how everyone acted around him I
Alexander.The first thing that came to my mind as I’m standing outside this huge brown door was, what the fuck I’m I doing here?I hated parties, social gatherings, and everything that has to do with people, I would rather be in my office working or be at home with my pet also working than be here.I glared at the door and sighed, I had no choice but to go inside since my mom practically forced me to come to this damn party.“Aren’t you going in, Mr?” I rolled my eyes then glanced at my motherfucking best friend behind me.He was grinning at me, good to know there was someone who was enjoying my misery.“Haha…so funny, asshole,” I said with a glare, and all he did was smile at me.Right now I’m thinking of so many ways to take that smile from his face.“Let’s go in, the party is about to start soon,” he tapped my shoulder but I shrugged him off.I scoffed before opening the door and walking inside, it was just as I had imagined; many people in the society. Those who would do anything
Genevieve.At first, I wanted to do as Mother said, after all, I’m the one who’s at the bottom here, I have nothing and if Mother were to cut the money and other supplies to the orphanage then that would make me feel bad.Before leaving there; that’s after I found my family, I promised the little ones there that I would do everything in my power to support them, and that, shouldn't be hard for someone whose parents are rich right?During the first months of being back, my mother and father fulfilled my wish, they provided what the orphanage needed at times two. They were ready to do it as long as I remained their docile and oppressed daughter.I haven’t really had much fun since I came to this mansion, I mean how could I when Dahlia turned everyone against me? She acted like the devil inside and an angel while we were out at social gatherings. I have always thought I wasn’t the one good enough, I mean I was the one who got lost at a young age and also the one who didn’t grow up with p
Genevieve.I didn’t know what to feel as I stared at my phone screen, hurt, betrayed, or backstabbed. I don’t know but I was sure that I felt hurt at the moment.In the picture Dahlia and Marcus were lying on a bed, Marcus was naked upwards, same as Dahlia. She rested her head on his chest while his arms were around her waist…..protectively.After looking at the picture for a whole minute, I could tell that this wasn’t a recent picture.This must have been years ago, maybe Dahlia was trying to hurt me more by doing this.Yes, Marcus can never be with her when he is engaged to me. He likes me, right?The next picture changed my judgment, Marcus doesn’t like me; the second picture says it all. Right in the picture were Dahlia and Marcus, and he was dressed in the same clothes he wore the day he visited me late.I could remember that day when I felt sick and just wanted him to be around since I had no one to talk to. I called him and he made an excuse about working and couldn’t leave his
Genevieve.Sometimes I think our inner thoughts are our enemies; that’s what I feel every single time I think about something. In one way or another, that thing tends to work out in the worst way possible for me.As I stood there in thought, the music was gone, the people chattering was gone, and every sentence they made was also gone. It felt like I was standing in a very dark place with my light taken from me.I don’t know what to think about or where I went wrong, that short but simple text message from Marcus to his mother was going to ruin me forever and I know it.‘I’m sorry Mother but I can’t marry Genevieve. I love someone else,’That was all the message said, he was sorry.He couldn’t marry me because he was in love with someone else, he left me for someone else.I tried to think if I had done something to offend him, maybe that’s the reason why he doesn’t want me anymore but I couldn’t think of anything.The first week I was brought back from the orphanage he was kind and lo
Genevieve.The party was in full swing now since every guest had arrived; I looked around and saw my parents speaking with people of high power. I know they didn’t invite them because of this engagement, they only brought them here because they wanted to be a part of their world.This party is getting boring.I let out another sigh again, I wanted this to be done and over with.I took another glass of champagne as a different waiter walked past me, I had no idea if this was my fourth or fifth glass. The champagne was the only thing keeping me company, my said fiancé was nowhere to be found and neither was my troublesome sister.Although Dahlia acts like a bitch at times, I still love her for being my sister; even if she wasn’t truly my biological sister.I would have wanted her nearby to keep my calm, instead of me being this nervous and fidgety about the engagement.The party wasn’t much of a big deal—I was the one looking at it that way, with the loud laughter and chatters here and
