Cruel, much?
VioletHe’s gazing at my ID to find my name on it.“No, you don’t, sir. I was distracted.” The lie palls the tension hanging over us, breaking the dense, overstretched silence. My heart keeps racing—I’m hoping he doesn’t recognize me, or realize that I lied, which can worsen everything.Letting go of my hand, he strides towards the suit mannequin in a glass case, tossing the handkerchief in the trashcan en route. My eyes trail him attentively. I regret my mistakes.“There are rumors about me being cold and scary.” He takes off his suit jacket. “Cold, I can take that. But, scary?” He slips the jacket on the mannequin and walks to the desk in slow steps. “If you’re not scared of me…”On his feet, he leans down and analyzes the condition of the documents with his fingers.“Then that explains the heavy makeup you’re wearing.”I risk him a glance, trying to grasp what he’s saying.“Women are either afraid of me, or… they’re trying to seduce me.”My brow arches in disbelief and irritation as

The paparazzi
VioletThe very next day, following the previous night, Greg and I go over my project and I begin working on it. Greg didn’t breathe a word about my resignation, as if I didn’t submit one. Aion Soft welcomes Verity Coleman, Ethan’s mother, today. Verity is quite the picky type. I'm in the lobby when she arrives.She approaches me and appoints me as her aide until the rescheduled extraordinary meeting commences.I am standing some steps across from the table in her office with my hands clasped in front of me. Verity is hard to resist staring at. She is one of Aion Soft’s shareholders and has an office in the building.She drapes her coat over her executive chair.Ethan got his eyes from his mother. Verify is a strong and beautiful blonde woman with the prettiest smile. Her gait is graceful. She radiates confidence and charisma. She’s not one to be trifled with.“Do you know why I chose you, of all people?” She takes her cup of coffee from the desk.“No, Mrs. Coleman.”“You remind me of

A fearful agreement
Violet I stay quiet through the drive home, reeling in arrays of emotions. Sadness, anger, confusion, fear. I have the driver drop me a few blocks away from my house, and then I walk all the way home.The neighborhood is buzzing softly on the cold night. I slope to my door, only to find out the landlord locked it. Like other times, I jump through the window straight into my bedroom, where there’s a lack of electricity. I’ve been surviving without electricity and water for a few weeks now, seeing as I can’t pay my bills and I’ve exceeded my credit limit.Thinking my new job would alleviate my financial struggles, Ethan unapologetically ruined my chance.I sag to the ground, raking my fingers through my hair while lowering my head in tears.‘I’m so sorry, Peter,’ I cry.‘Sorry for what? Letting your childhood lover ruin our relationship?’‘It’s just three months, and I’ll come back to you.”“Three months of that jerk eating my woman up and then I take you back like nothing happened? No

Till death do us part
VioletI stare at my reflection in the full-length mirror. A sad, broken blonde, veiled in a nose-length white netting bandeau, stares back at me. It’s the wedding today, the onset of my misery.I’m wearing a white sparkling gown with a fitted bodice. Its thigh-high slit runs down, flowing at the end, a beautiful embellishment of beads and sequins.The dress has a V-neckline decorated with embellished overlays, and the long sleeves are sheer and adorned with sequins. A silver necklace runs along my neck. Our wedding is going down in history as one of the most expensive weddings, and I know it’s one of Ethan’s plans to get people prejudging and badmouthing me after I end our relationship.“You look great, Violet.” My mom gestures for the lady in charge of my dressing to leave.“How are you taking the lies on social media, Mom? Everything people know about us is fake.”Mom walks over, slowly. “None of this reflects our lives, sweetheart.”“I warned you, girl, didn’t I?”Our heads swing

The wedding night
VioletI sit on the foot of the bed for a flat two hours, anxious, swaying in a whirlwind of thoughts—thoughts centered on escaping whatever plans Ethan has for me tonight. With clammy hands, I fidget with the robe I have on.I've concocted plans, which include asking the lady for a bottle of Tylenol while pretending I have a headache.Six pills of Tylenol will take me straight to the hospital, changing our wedding night to a harrowing caregiving vigil at the hospital.The knife is my last-ditch effort to escape the night, when everything else fails. I'm only hoping I don't get pushed to use it.When the doorknob turns, I jerk up and hustle to the door to collect the pills from the lady, but who comes standing in the doorway when the door opens makes me halt halfway.I shudder with a gasp, recoiling quickly, my heart beating in a rapid cadence as I gaze at Ethan.The fearsome man who hates me and is now my fake but lawfully real husband is bearing down on me. His eyes, blazing with fur

A shocking revelation
VioletEthan grabs the knife by the blade and the fear he’ll cut me with it propels me to jerk my hand back, the knife slicing his palm open. An impulsive gasp burst from my lips. He doesn’t let go of the blade. He’s tightened his grip around the tip where he’s held on to when I pulled the knife. My eyes rivet on the gory sight of blood cascading down his hand. If he’s in pain, he doesn’t show. Not even for the slightest.I let out a shaky breath, and as he attempts to pull the knife, not caring about his wounded palm, I willingly splay my hand to let him have the knife. As soon as I do, he grabs my neck with his unscathed hand and leans closer. His grasp is surprisingly soft.He skims the flat of the blade down my cheek with his bloodied hand, painting my face with his blood.He edges the knife to my chin, craning my neck upward so that our eyes meet. The fear he’ll do something untoward to me traps my breath in my lungs and my muscles tense.“Do you have any idea what’s going thro

A bitter realization
I crane my neck upward and fix Ethan with a questioning stare, trying to put two and two together, but the further I try, the further his utterance eludes me. There was an extraordinary meeting, and the paparazzi were there by chance and had tumbled on us. Right? “I don't follow,” I whisper, confused.“Don’t worry, I'll spell it out for you. I knew marrying you would be easier if I put my career on the line. So I somehow followed you to that parking lot and had one of my allies bring the paparazzi to us.” He laughs victoriously, but I can hear the mockery behind his laughter.His words break me inside. Realizing the whole thing was a scheme to lure me into his inferno and hurt me, sorrow, anger, and fear swell inside me. My eyes mist over and my throat tightens; I'm shivering to my lip.I succumb to my emotions as body-shaking sobs claim me.I wriggle in his arms to free myself, which makes him tighten his hands around me. “You’re crazy,” I sob, my voice barely above a whisper.“I kn

A red flag
VioletThe sudden distaste and rage in Ethan’s voice send me reeling in confusion and fear as I stare down at him.He spits on my underwear, just in front of my vagina, and I tense up at his humiliating act.“You disgust me, Violet. Whoever says they love you is so full of shit because you’re a repulsive whore.” That fury, that hate, doesn’t leave his voice, neither does it leave his countenance.Tears well up in my eyes. His act, his words, tears me up on the inside.How much of this treatment can I take without breaking? Could I ever change his idea of me? It’s deep-seated in him to the point he sees me as a despicable whore who deserves to be tortured. No one deserves to be treated this way — not even myself.“How many men have fucked this pussy before me? Ten? Twenty? Forty?”I don’t realize I’m supposed to answer that. Until then he says, “You can’t answer because you can’t tell the count. Just like your mom can’t tell who your father is.”Rage and sadness surge through me and I

A psychopathic husband
Violet On getting to the front yard, Ethan springs up yet another surprise. The driver is a lady, which clarifies what he said about not letting other men see me bare. Through the drive, I curl up quietly in the backseat of the Rolls-Royce, just next to him. There's a good space between us, though. I gaze at the rare mirror, waiting to find the lady’s eyes staring back at me through the rare mirror, but she casts me no glimpse. Not even by accident.We arrive in yet another bigger, jaw-dropping mansion and two housekeepers in black skirts and white short-sleeved shirts welcome us home.They have a warm smile on their faces as they congratulate us on our wedding. Warm but creepy, and it leaves me in confusion. They act like everything is as it’s supposed to be. Can’t they see I’m in my underwear?What’s going on?Ethan cuts them dead.They still keep the smile on their faces when Ethan pulls me into the house like I’m a thief rather than his wife. I can’t keep the confusion out of my
