Bethel's Pov:
My eyes dilated in surprise as I paused and stared at him for a while. He also looked surprised seeing me.
He's the same guy I had encountered on the night of Ryan's concert - the bag guy with a gang that had wanted to take on me forcefully before the police's presence saved me.
So, he's Ryan's brother???
What the hell?
Mum turned and looked at me and that was when I realised I had stopped walking.
I blinked rapidly and continued down the stairs and finally, I was standing in front of the Winthrop family.
Hold on; where's Ryan? I mean, he's not here.
"Bethel!" Ryan's mum called with buoy as she came towards me and gave me a hug.
"Um...good evening ma'am" I greeted with a nervous smile and looked at her husband -my father in law.
Gosh!
"Good evening sir' I said and wa
Bethel's Pov:We remained silent and I felt like falling since I was the only one standing.Am I supposed too speak up first? But what do I say?And what about him? Doesn't he have anything to say?Oh, God! I can't believe I'm standing in front of my husband to be who turns out to be the world's famous Ryan Winthorp.It still felt like a dream to me."Um..." I tried speaking but stopped.What the heck? Why doesn't he say something first?I was scared to look directly into his face. I mean, I was tempted to, but couldn't. What if our eyes ran into each other's and he kind of thinks I'm drooling on him or something?No; I can't do it.But this is so weird. I suddenly recalled everything Hannah told me about him. Could they be true? Was he really jealous and hard hearted? What's it going to be like being with someone like ryan?I don't know if h
Bethel's Pov:It was Kyle - like, Kyle the braniac. The quiet boy who's father owns the school.What? What's he doing here?He stood and stared at Mawthie and his boys."Yeah - joy killer" Mawthie grumbled and looked at me."This isn't over. Just remember, I'm still the ruler of this school" he whispered angrily and left with his crew.I looked at Kyle as he stared at me without saying a word. Did he really save me?I bent and took my bag from the floor and by the time I turned back to look at him again, he was already walking away.I watched in amusment from behind as he left. Wow! I can't believe he actually saved me. He doesn't associate with anyone. I wonder why he's always so quiet.I continued on my way to class - trying to forget what happened. What's Mawthie's problem anyway?When I got to the class, the lecturer was already in and perfect! Al
Bethel's Pov:I sat in front of the mirror as the make up artists transformed my face into something else.I couldn't believe I was staring at my own image.They made me look so beautiful and stunning,just like a princess.but my dolful look wouldn't let me completely admire myself.Finally, I was getting married. It was certain now and I guess nothing can stop it. In a snort time,I'll become Ryan's wife. I'll become part of the Winthrop family. Am I really ready for this?"You look pretty ma'am" one of the make up artists said as they finally rounded up their work on my face.I sighed and looked into the mirror.Immediately, the door opened and I turned to see one of the maids coming in with an envelope."Good morning ma'am" she greeted with a slight bow."Someone asked me to deliver this to you ".She stretched out t
Bethel's Pov:The reception party was held outside the Winthrop mansion and trust me when I say this - 80% of the country's superstars were present. I even saw some celebrities from outside the world."Happy married life bad" Lady K walked upto me and said as I stood next to Nicole.She was putting on a long red gown that exposed her thighs and a little part of her breast.But she looked really sweet and pink."Thank you" I replied and she smiled and walked away."Wow! Looks like you're becoming a celebrity Bethel" Nicole said and nudged me and i scoffed.I looked around for Ryan and found him sitting and drinking with some other celebrities. Shouldn't he be around me?Mum and Ryan's mum were busy with the guests. The whole place was just buzzing with life and that was when it dawned on me that I was really a married l
Bethel's Pov:He stood up from the bed immediately with a sigh.I became nervous. Why did he stand up?He took off the suit he was putting on, now left with just a white long sleeve.Surprisingly, he started walking towards me.Okay; what's going on?His dark eyes stared at the floor as he walked towards me and surprisingly when he got to where I was, he opened the door and walked out.I flinched and turned to look at the closed door.Did he really walk out...I had actually been scared he waa coming to meet me.Oh, Bethel.I took one a deep
Ryan's POV:I returned home hours later, buggered.I went straight for my room and when I got there, I found her lying on the bed - Bethel.She was curled up under the duvet and was fast asleep.I ambled to where she was and sat on the edge of the bed, staring into her face.She was so pretty and her long hair fell over her eyes.I thought of waving it aside, but stopped myself.She was a nice person - perhaps. But I couldn't fall in love; no I couldn't.It'd only hurt her.That's the reason I never wanted to go on with this marriage stuff. I didn't want anyone to get hurt because of me.But since its already happened...I just can't fall in love. I wasn't ready for it.And I hate it that I was forced into this.I sighed and leaned on the wall. My head ached a lot.
Bethel's Pov:Gosh! I Can't believe this. What does this guy think he's doing?Its a good thing I was already tying my towel before he looked at me.But who knows if he had already been peeping at me long before I saw him?Oh, God!"I'm talking to you" I said as I stood behind him.I really needed an explanation for it. How could he think of doing such a thing?"Well , maybe you should've been wise enough to close to the door properly" he said unruffledly as he brought out jacket from the wardrobe.I scoffed."Oh, really?" I asked as I crossed my hands below my chest."Well, I think I must have forgotten the fact that I'm living with a Mr s3x freak at home"."Hold on; are seriously ranting about this?" He asked and turned to look at me."Aren'
Bethel's Pov:I stood and waited for him to get to where I was.He was putting on a Black jean and Jacket and wore a despondent look."Hi" he smiled when he stood in front of me."Jackson?" I called instead, tucking my hair behind my ear.He sighed and inserted his hands into his trouser pockets."I came to say hi" he stated."Oh; you...came all the way to my school just for that?" I asked and he chuckled."How's Ryan?" He asked and I lowered my gaze to the floor."He's fine".A short silence stepped in. I guess I wasn't really comfortable talking to my ex-boyfriend."Bethel" he Called and I looked up at him."I want you to know I hold no grudges against you - despite the fact you broke up with me and got married. I mean, it wasn't your fault. You didn't plan for
