New Loves
Andrew
Accepting the invitation to dinner at Beatrice and Edward's house was a sudden decision. I felt hesitant, but at the same time, intrigued by the opportunity to rekindle the friendship that had been shaken by emotional issues.
Talking extensively with Beatrice in the preceding days brought much-needed clarity. I realized that the weight of trying to win the love of a woman still in love with her ex-husband was a mistake. The friendship with Beatrice, after all, was much more valuable than any unrequited romantic desire.
Upon arriving at Beatrice and Maddock's house, I noticed the presence of Abigail, Edward's sister. An inexplicable nervousness seized me, arousing my curiosity. We exchanged glances, and a subtle tension hung between us, something I admit I did not overlook.

BeatriceThe morning sun gilded the stone paths leading to the imposing church. As my heart beats rapidly, I approach the church entrance. I grip the arm of my dear father, concerned that the groom may not be waiting for me at the altar.Three long years had passed since the last time I saw Edward Maddock. And now, here I am, ready to seal our fate in a marriage that, despite being formalized by a contract, carries the promise of a life together.With each step towards the church, my pulse quickens, my heart pounding like a drum announcing the unknown. The soft music fills the air, accompanying the rhythmic beat of my chest. And then, I see him.Edward stands next to the priest, imposing in his dark tailcoat, the epitome of elegance and masculinity that always impressed me. His dark hair is meticulously combed, his forehead slightly furrowed as he gazes ahead. I hold my breath, feeling a lump in my throat at the sight of him there, waiting for me.Relief washes over me as I realize my
Rejected by the Tycoon The Marriage
BeatriceThe next morning brought an unexpected emptiness. Opening my eyes, I found the space next to me in bed impeccably made. No sign of Edward. Uncertainty returned, and the doubt of whether he had or hadn't shared the bed with me on our first night of marriage hung in the air.I might as well go down for breakfast, maybe I'll find some answers. However, the loneliness at the carefully set table only reinforced the feeling that something was amiss. The reality of the morning after the wedding was far from what I had imagined.Each forkful felt heavy in my stomach, and the sound of utensils clinking against the plate echoed the emptiness I felt in that house. A mixture of disappointment and sadness seemed to suffocate my heart, a melancholy that I hadn't anticipated."Do you need anything else, ma'am?" Charles asked. "I can ask Mrs. Jeks to prepare something special for you.""No, thank you," I politely declined, indicating that I had finished.It was already past nine, and I assum
Rejected by the Tycoon Doubts and Disappointments
BeatriceAfter a month of marriage, the situation with Edward hasn't changed. He continues to act politely but seems to maintain an invisible distance between us. We share the same room and bed, but he has never tried to get closer. Instead, he always locks himself in the library late into the night, always claiming work. It seems like he's avoiding me.It saddens me, but I can't talk about it with my family or friends. My mother was against our marriage from the start, as she disagreed with the idea of the contract, and admitting that it's been a disappointment would confirm what she tried to warn me about. Additionally, my father is ill, so there are already enough concerns at home. I don't want to add more problems. So, I smile and pretend everything is fine when, in reality, I feel very alone.Abigail, Edward's sister and my true friend called me that afternoon. She was passing through London and came to visit me. I was so happy with the news. She has always been a dear friend, an
Rejected by the Tycoon Cousin Love
BeatriceThe suggestion of spending time with someone I trusted sounded like a balm, and I accepted my cousin's idea without hesitation. Two hours later, we were laughing and sharing funny stories about Sebastian's love misadventures. His presence helped temporarily push away the concerns and dilemmas that were consuming me as if I could be myself again.Amidst the laughter, Sebastian mentioned the kiss he stole from me once, making me laugh again, albeit embarrassed. The episode came up in the conversation."It was terrible!" I admitted, remembering the kiss that happened and ended in an instant."Wow, you crushed my self-esteem, cousin," Sebastian joked, with a smile."You have to agree it was a terrible kiss, Seb.""Absolutely," he agreed, laughing. "But you were sad because Edward didn't show up on your birthday, and I was just trying to cheer you up. After all, we had a good laugh about it."Sebastian was referring to my eighteenth birthday party. At that time, I was convinced th

BeatriceI gazed at the wardrobe crammed with luxurious clothes, all from the most renowned brands, the epitome of what money could acquire, yet none of it would be viable to take with me. I packed in the suitcase only the items I had brought to that residence a year ago.Unlike that day when I arrived with a heart full of love and hope, now all that remained in my chest was bitterness and pain; I was about to distance myself from that house, which had never truly been my home.After over a year of a frustrating marriage, in which I never truly experienced what it was to be loved by my husband, I made the difficult decision to end that doomed relationship where only one person fought for the couple's happiness, and that person was me. From this moment forward, Edward would no longer be part of my life, just as I would not be a part of his, and each of us would go our separate ways. With this perspective, I dismissed all the mansion staff that afternoon and awaited my husband's arrival
Rejected by the Tycoon Changes
EdwardAfter Beatrice left the mansion, I walked to the bar almost in the center of my living room and poured a shot of my most expensive whisky into a glass, downing the entire contents in a single fiery gulp.I manage to maintain a neutral expression, but inside, the only prevailing feeling is the purest and most genuine relief.One thing is certain—I wasn't the least bit sad about Beatrice's decision to leave. Our marriage was merely a business contract, something I did solely out of consideration for my father's old friend.Once upon a time, I harbored a strong passion for Beatrice, but everything changed when I found her kissing her cousin Sebastian. That night, I realized their feelings were not just those of friendship or cousinly love. They felt something more for each other, and the biggest proof of that fact was the kiss I witnessed them exchange in Beatrice's garden.I had spoken to Beatrice that day, congratulating her on her eighteenth birthday and promising to be in Kent

Staying at home was not an option, especially when my friends were together. Janet and Charles, her husband, being together made me feel affected by the love they showed each other. It's hard to understand why my marriage went so wrong. So, when I was selected for the position at the Daily News, I was thrilled, not just for the job but also for the great offer I received.Just five days after filing for divorce, I was starting work at the Daily News. I worked in the newspaper's gossip column, in the entertainment section, something I would need to adapt to.
