A bright new day.

It would have been so bright if there wasn't a cancelled wedding. Or maybe a wedding that might hold or not. 6am sharp and the alarm she had set two days before in preparation for her big day rang and roused her up from sleep. Stretching and rubbing her sleepy eyes, she reached for her phone and it hit her in the face. It was her wedding day today and the alarm had just that title.

“ 6am, my wedding day.”

She was beginning to heal or so she thought. Healing would never take just a night. Even the most irrelevant relationships took a while to get over and she thought she would heal from this?

Staring at her phone and breaking down again as Nathan's picture gazed back at her. She remembered this day quite well, how could she forget? She had been to his office and after a hearty discussion, she brought up the idea of taking pictures and he accepted although he never really fancied it.

The smile was genuine. How could she ge

    “ Nathan. Wake up, Nathan wake up.” His eyes slowly parted and a few streaks of sunlight hit him hard in the face. He had slept off in his mom's arms yesterday and she, along with Dean had placed him on the bed. “ Good morning, mom. Hi, Meg.” “ Good morning, Nathan. Slept well dear?” She didn't need a reply to that. And suddenly wishing she hadn't asked, she went on to the next question which was more important. “ I'm sorry to say, but it's your wedding day Nathan. How do we deal with the guests and invites sent out? Do you want to cancel.” “ We can't cancel!” his tone was super high and his mom quite astounded, took a step back. “ I'm sorry, I mean we can't cancel. I really want her mom, I want her.” his voice was back to normal. “ But you can't have her, Nathan. Not after what you did yesterday. No woman would want to come back to a man who cheated on her for the second time, a night before her wedding and with h

    “ Ava, that's enough alcohol for today.” Lina yelled before taking the bottle away from her. On the table were several bottles of alcohol, with it's content all out. “ Allow me be mom. It doesn't matter if I drink to stupor, I might as well kill myself.” “ And why would you do that? Because of a single man who couldn't keep his cock for one lady? Since when did you become an alcoholic? Since when did I raise an alcoholic daughter?” “ Mom, you know- you know, if you could have just raised the perfect daughter. The one who doesn't go about looking for men to seduce, we would never be in this state right now.” Ava's face contorted with rage, teeth bared and a clenched fist on the table. She wasn't drunk just yet but was surely intoxicated. Just a glass more, and she would be crossing her limit. “ Calm down Ava. I know how angry you are but just relax and we will have things sorted out.” Anger thrummed through her veins and she f

    “ Any news yet buddy?” Dean asked, checking Nathan out. Everything was done and they were all dressed, from the groom to the least maid in the house. “ None. She ended the call before I could even ask if she would be coming or not.” As expected. It was no surprise to Dean and he just went mute. “ What is it? I know you have something to say, so go ahead and say it.” “ isn't it crystal clear, Nathan? Isn't it very obvious now? Ava isn't coming back, we all know that.” Heaving a deep sigh, he sat down with his hands lying nervously on his thighs. “ I know. But I just thought, maybe.. Fuck what I thought.” Dean could understand his plight. That feeling you get when you know you can never get someone back but you really do love them and you have to keep convincing yourself that they would eventually run back into your arms but you know quite well that it was never going to happen but you still spend everyday hoping and wishing they

    No one would have given it the slightest thought. Actually no one! There he stood, covered in beads of sweat. The well air-conditioned hall suddenly became hot, so hot he would have to remove the tuxedo he had on. The promising young man every mother wanted for her daughter. That one wealthy bachelor that was on the top of every lady's list on what they wanted in a man. Well, looks could be deceiving. “ You mean to say that the young man over here, CEO Nathan Lewis of Dove's enterprises had um, a kind of connection with you?” the priest who was an advanced man in his sixties questioned Avery. She was all in for this. If she couldn't have him, then she would ruin his image the best way she knew how to. “ Sex? Yes, we had sex. You don't have to be so shy saying it. I mean everyone present are all adults, except for a few kids.” This lady was without shame. Things weren't going as planned with Nathan. He wished the earth would swallow him and sa

    “ You see that? That's what I'm talking about, Ava. Men do not deserve a second chance!” Carolina yelled across the room. They had just watched Nathan's wedding ceremony. Aviva was flabbergasted the wedding still went on, he had thought he would call it off when he didn't get a response but her mom was right, he couldn't afford to get more embarrassed than he was already. She would have been a bit hurt if he had gotten married to his sister but she was more heartbroken he had gotten married to the one person he had lied about cutting ties off. “ Calm down Lina. You shouldn't yell that way. Please have your seat.” Alex offered her a hand and helped her to her seat. She had fatigue written all over her, she had been so pumped up these last few days for a wedding that wasn't even going to happen at all. “ He has dumped my daughter after using her. He has destroyed her hopes of ever falling in love again. Men are so wicked, each and every one of you.”

    Exhausted, she threw her purse on the bed and crashed on the king-sized, comfy looking bed. Such a long day it had been, all thanks to Nathan. With her hands above her head, she gazed at nothing in particular, letting her thoughts roam around freely. To think Nathan would go for someone like Caryn was enough to describe how bad her brother's taste buds were. There was really nothing else to stay back for. He had gotten married to the devil herself, what else could they do but watch? She had her mind made up already and would be on the first flight home tomorrow back home. Her mission here was done. She did succeed in making her brother settle down with a wife but her plans went south and he ended up with a Jezebel. “ Yes, come in. The door is opened.” The door opened slowly revealing her mother's figure. A disappointed mom who had expected no more from a naive son of hers, walked into the room dejectedly. “ Your brother is just somet

    Nathan dragged his feet on the floor from Megan's room down to his room. Or their room. As they would be sharing a room now. The room Ava had stay in was still open and he had a rethink just at his door. Turned back and went straight to her room. This place held so many memories, good ones. The moments went too fast and gradually became memories. If only he could have said no to Avery's advances yesterday. They would still be together and happily married but here, he was stuck to a person he did not love. Someone who he would be forced to love for the rest of his life. “ I'm sorry, Ava. Would you ever find a place in your heart to forgive me? Certainly not.” he muttered, while staring at the portrait he had done a month ago which was hung on the wall. She was so pretty, full of love and smart. But she was gone. She wasn't coming back. He had his mind made up, if by chance she did walk through that door, he wouldn't hesitate to take her back. He wouldn't think twice

    [ Warning! This Chapter Contains Mature Content Not Suitable For Young Readers.] He gently unzipped my dress and the gown fell to ground. His gaze was causing more bad than good. It made me crave him more. I stepped out of it, our gaze still locked. In the past one second, Nathan has stared at my body in awe countless times. And here I was in the middle of some airplane, half naked with just my panties on. What if someone walked in? “ I will go change now. Hey, stop staring at me like that. It makes me want you more.. you have to promise to be a good boy and behave. We will have all the time in the world to worship each other's body when we are off this airplane.” “ I never said I planned to be a good boy, Aviva. Maybe I was but I changed my mind the moment I saw your smoking hot body. I really can't promise to keep my hands to myself, princess.” And he was being honest. I could make out the hunger in his voice as he spoke. I had starved this man

We have just a chapter or two more to go.. And also for this last part of the book, I will be making use of the first person POV. Enjoy!! ***** “ Do you, Aviva Alexander, take Nathan Lewis to be your lawfully wedded husband?” Silence. The buzzing hall was now as silent as a graveyard. I'm sure you could hear just how loud one's heart pounded if you listened keenly. I smiled at Nathan, he had tears running freely down his face. Today, he dropped the “ Strong, arrogant CEO who doesn't give a fuck about anyone” and in it's stead, was a handsome young man who was capable of loving someone. In him I saw someone who was tamed to love, someone who doesn't know just how much love he's capable of giving because he has never given it a try. “ Uhm, I don't know if you noticed fluffy bear, but they are a

    “ Nathan!” What was she doing here? It's a modeling audition for crying out loud. Nathan and Aviva folded their arms and watched her yell and whine about him being married. “ Caryn, can you slow down? By the way, who's married to you?” he asked and all eyes were fixed on them. This would serve as good entertainment while the judges were away tabulating the scores. “ Nathan Lewis, I will not have you humiliate me this way. I won't! Now, get up and let's go home.” she ordered like some boss who was passing out instructions to her employees. “ I'm not going anywhere, just yet Caryn. You can either have your seat and enjoy the show or you can choose to leave. Whichever works for you, my lady.” “ Are you being serious here? You're doing all this because of this, this ugly, classless girl? Are you not ashamed being seen with her? I'm pretty disappointed in you, Nathan.

We are rooting for you, Aviva.” “ Oh my goodness, this is the first time I have ever heard you say something positive. Thank you so much, Avery. I love you so much..” “ Girls, they are about to start. Come over.” Alex called out. Avery stared at her sister, she was grateful she had everyone back. They held hands and walked into the hall which was filled to the brim with people. Luckily, Alex had been able to secure seats for them all. “ Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the semi finals/ finals. We are pleased to see you all. After the first round, hundred people were screened out and only twenty were qualified to move on to the next stage.” “ Well, only five people will be taken from this round to go on to the final round where we will pick only two persons.

    “ Mom. I got the money and narrowly escaped death. Someone else has been framed for stealing the money.” she informed her mom on phone and the lady went hysterical. “ You got it? That's my girl. You're just like your mom, Caryn. I'm so proud of you, darling.” “ Thank you mom. I will transfer half of the money to Dad's account. I want his company to be back on its feet for good.” “ Alright love. Your father sends his regards. One more thing Caryn, be careful out there.” “ I will. I love you, I have to go now.” They were outside, with ears glued on her door. They had heard it all, but Nathan beckoned on them to follow him. They tiptoed, to avoid being heard. “ Now that we have gotten concrete evidence, what do we do next?” Hazel interrogated. “ We will let her keep the money. I'm gathering a lot of evidence and by the end of the day, she would be left with nothing. All she stole right now, is the alimony I'm supposed to pay a

    “ What's going on?” There was absolute silence. If a pin had fell down, there was every certainty it would be heard. She walked in and met her beloved family in a state of distraught. She was sure they had heard the news already. “ Nathan honey, what is it? Why are you all seated there like some bunch of robots? Talk to me, somebody.” if there was one thing she was good at, it was pretense. She threw her shoes on the floor and rested her head on the couch. If they were not going to talk, then she would let them be. It was difficult to breathe as she felt a sharp pain around her neck. No one had expected it, not even Caryn herself. Nathan held her tightly around her neck, his fingers tightened every second, and his nails dug deeper into her skin. It wouldn't be long before she started bleeding. “ What are you doing, Nathan? Put her down!” Dean yelled but Nathan was no longer in control. He was infuriated and couldn't even hide it. “ N

    The dim light in the room made it a bit easy to see. These days she kept her curtains closed and the lamp, off. Today, she felt switching on a candle would be better. She had been in bed all day, doing nothing but mope. Her door moved slowly, and the dim light barely made it easy to see the lady's face. The woman who had birthed her, but now, it felt like they were two strangers meeting for the first time. Lina had walked in, without the tiniest courtesy of knocking. Ever since the issues with Ava, her family treated her like a complete outcast, her dad not excluded. They avoided her like a plague. The only activity that brought them together as a family, was eating at the dinning table. On most days, she would have her meal upstairs in her room. She decided to tag along to Ava's audition, not because she was invited but she felt like going. Rolling her eyes and heaving a deep sigh, she rolled to the other end of the bed. Her back was turned to Carolina,

    Now he knew why Dean made that prayer yesterday. He knew she was a bad cook but he didn't think it would be this bad. What happened last night was a mistake that would never repeat itself. Penne pasta with vodka sauce and some parmesan cheese. After the funny but useful prayer from Dean, they all grabbed their cutleries and proceeded to feast on the meal she had made. Dean went first and spat it out the moment it got into his mouth. “ Hell nah, I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this with y'all, I will ask the maid to make me something.” “ But it's really not that bad, Dean. Just close your eyes and chew quickly. Caryn you are such a good cook, no doubts.” Hazel spoke, forcing a spoonful of poison into her mouth. “ Do you like it? I did well, right?” she asked innocently. Nathan nodded, they all nodded. Hazel made Dean take a few more spoons of the terrible concoction she made. And for a sec, they had initially thought it wouldn't be as bad as

    “ Why does the room look like someone went through our things.” he inquired after taking a thorough look around the room. Something wasn't right, the drawers had items sticking out. The wardrobe wasn't properly closed, the pillows were wrongly arranged and the bed looked like someone had jumped on them. With a smile of deceit, she rubbed her palms and walked closer. Nervously, she asked. “ What do you mean?” her voice was shaky and her heart was pounding so loudly. “ I mean..” but on second thoughts, there was really no need to engage her in a conversation or questions her, knowing fully well she would deny ever searching for only God knows what, thereby turning the house into a mess. “ Nothing. Hazel is home, she lost her baby. I thought you should know.” he said with his gaze fixed on nothing in particular. “ Poor little thing. I will go check on her later, she must be feeling so sad at the moment.” Playing along, he replied.“ Yeah, she
