The part isn't going the way i liked it to be. Besides the red velvet cakes everything was meh!.I settled onto one of the comfortable couches tucked away in the corner of the hall, On my plate, there was just a single slice of red velvet cake and a glass of water. I decided to pass on the wine this time, because of the mass quantity I had last night at the hotel.As I sat there, I found myself observing the conversations happening around me. Women were engaged in discussions about business matters, and I couldn't help but notice a few faces that seemed vaguely familiar. Once I finished my cake, I picked the water and downed it one go, then picked another glass from the passing waiter and also downed it before getting up to find the bathroom to take a piss. When I couldn't find it, I asked on of the waitresses for help, She assisted me to the restroom and walked off. I went in, did my business and cake back out.Upon returning to the main area, I noticed the paparazzi and press has be
“I can fucking hear heartbeats from across the room” Was that five or thirty minutes ago when he said that? I don't remember. Or was it thirty seconds ago? I don't know, but the words kept replaying like a broken record in my head. It wouldn't stop. Which wasn't something I liked._“I can fucking hear heartbeats from across the room”__“I can fucking hear heartbeats from across the room”__“I can fucking hear heartbeats from across the room”_Too loud. Too much. Too frequent.As he opened the car door and gently helped me in, I clutched my bag tighter against my chest. The repetition of that sentence was driving me crazy. It felt too much, too persistent, invading my thoughts like an unwanted guest._“I can fucking hear heartbeats from across the room”_Again.I didn't know if he actually said that, because the way the sentence kept replaying it made me think I was just imagining it. Maybe he just got tired of the event and decided to leave.Maybe he noticed how bored I was
“You are not sorry” I said, hands on her hips and I know I looked like tea mug. “I swear I am” He replied, relaxed on the couch playing with an empty bottle of vodka. “No, you're not.” He's too relaxed to be sorry and this wouldn't have happened if we didn't have sex.I rubbed my hand over my neck. Sighing Was it the hormones? I feel more angry than I should be.I'm pregnant and nothing's going to change it, so was there really any need for me to burst the moment he asked if I was hungry.“What do you want me to say? That I didn't mean to fuck you? I meant to, and I even will if you weren't pregnant”“Can you stop saying that word? You look like you're enjoying this”“I'm not” He replied and slowly got up. “I'm just happy you are longer crying” What am I going to do?“What am I going to do?” I asked the that's has been running through my mind all night.“Can you not worry. We'll think about it tomorrow” He gently pushed me into the bathroom.Of course he'll say that. He's not the o
I know you people might wonder why I never spoke up about how Damon treated me since we got married. It's tough admitting that your partner's been mistreating you. And it's even harder when you have to deal with the fact that he's been cheating on you multiple times.But, was it even cheating? I mean, to him, it was just an arranged marriage, right? He needed a mate to secure his position as the Alpha in our pack.I kept quiet because I knew nobody would believe me. Even if I had a couple of witnesses, it wouldn't have made a difference. Damon, being the Alpha, had all the power. And I'd just end up being labeled as an unfaithful and ungrateful wife and mate. If things got really bad, the pack members, especially the councilmen and noblewomen, would probably ask him to kick me out, which could've been the end of me or a long stay in the hospital trying to heal up.If only rejecting him was an option. Like, the moment I caught him with Penelope, I would've rejected him without wasting
After we finished paying for our things at the supermarket, Victor and I made our way to the airport. The sun was shining bright as we drove, and I felt a mix of excitement and tiredness. It had been a whirlwind trip, and I was ready to get back home.The flight went smoothly, and soon enough, I found myself dozing off on the private plane. It felt nice to relax after all the stress of the past few days. When I woke up, we were still up in the sky, so I forced myself back to sleep.The Pierce private plane was really spacious, and I had plenty of room to stretch out and get comfy, we even had fruits brought to us. I spent some time sleeping, waking up and looking out the window, watching the fluffy clouds pass by below and going back to sleep.When we landed, Victor arranged for his driver to take me straight to his penthouse. It was only a short drive away from GEMINI, but it felt like a whole different world. The penthouse was Victor's special place, where he could relax and unwind
After leaving the hospital, I decided to ask the driver tomake a detour to the fashion house, Luxury. I and the ladies had agreed that for the first two months, we'd close early, so I wanted to see if the ladies had already gone home or if the store was still open.As the cab turned the corner, the familiar sight of the storefront came into view. The glass windows displayed the latest designs.I alighted, paid the driver and Pushed open the door, I stepped inside, greeted by the soft hum of activity. The scent of fabric and perfume filled the air, mingling with the sound of sewing machines whirring in the background.“Ana! You're back!” Cecil, exclaimed, her face lighting up with a smile as she saw me.“Hey,” I greeted her, returning the smile. “Is everyone still here?”“Yeah, we're just finishing up for the day,” She replied, gesturing towards the back of the store where the rest of the team was gathered.As I reached the back of the store, I found Elizabeth, who we made our head des
The next morning, I woke up to the sound of the alarm buzzing on the bedroom's nightstand. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I glanced over at Victor, still asleep beside me. He looked so peaceful, his features softened by slumber.After getting out of bed, I went to the kitchen and microwaved the leftovers from last night's dinner. I also made some toast for Victor, knowing he'd appreciate a quick breakfast before heading off to work.With breakfast ready, I returned to the bedroom and gently nudged Victor awake. He groaned sleepily, but I could see the exhaustion written all over his face.“I'm leaving now,” I whispered, leaning down to kiss his forehead.“Mmm, you can take the driver” He mumbled, already drifting back to sleep.Chuckling at his sleepy response, I grabbed my coat and headed out the door. The driver was waiting for me downstairs, and soon we were on our way to the mansion.Arriving an hour later, I found Zara in the living room, sipping on a cup of tea. She sprang up w
I woke up to a blurry sight, the harsh fluorescent lights of the hospital room casting everything into a hazy blur. The pungent smell of antiseptic hung heavy in the air, mingling with the scent of sickness and fear. The incessant beeping sound of machines filled the room.As I tried to make sense of my surroundings, I saw distorted figures moving around frantically, their faces a blurry and the only thing I noticed was the frown lines on their faces. I blinked, trying to clear my sight with my hand, but the pain that hit me made me cry out in agony. It felt like my insides were being torn apart, every movement sending waves of excruciating pain coursing through my body.I tried to move my legs, but I couldn't, there was nothing there. Panic surged through me as I realized I couldn't feel my leg at all. Fear clawed at my throat as I struggled to comprehend what had happened to me.The beeping sound of the machines started to speed up, their frantic rhythm matching the pounding of my h
