Brenda G___Have you ever screwed up so badly that you feel like tossing yourself in a magma-laden volcanic vent?That's exactly how I felt after mistaking Emilio for Jake and kissing him. What was worse was that I ran off, denying Emilio an explanation for my behavior. He deserved at least an explanation after I harassed his delicate lips with kisses.In my defense all of this was Jake's fault. He got into my head and made me imagine him saying all those sweet things to me. Only he was to blame for my predicament.Keep telling yourself that, Brenda. When we both know that you are the one who can't stop thinking about Jake. You think of him all the time. Aren't you ashamed that he's an engaged man? Also, can't you see that you're being selfish to Emilio?My judgemental conscience voiced.Brenda, the only way you're gonna be truly happy is by being honest with yourself. Stop pretending to have broken up with Jake and yet you still think about him. Stop leading Emilio on, only to leave
Brenda G___I still loved Jake. He never did anything wrong to me, in fact, I was the one who wronged him. I missed him so much that my heart couldn't let him go."You love him! I can see it in your eyes." Gena jammed my shoulder and I nodded."Yes.""Then why did you guys end things?" She interrogated me.I took a deep breath in an attempt to calm my tensed body. "It's complicated. You wouldn't comprehend.""Try me." She took my hand in hers and gave it a gentle squeeze. A look of concern and understanding was smeared on her visage.Just like that, I opened up to Gena about Jake. I told her everything about Jake including how I met him, fought with him constantly back in college school and then the beautiful love story we shared.She listened to me in silence, giving me all the time to express my emotions. Then, when I got to the contract bit of the story, tears commenced flowing down my cheeks. She embraced me, comfortingly as I opened up to her about the contract. I even told her
Jake William____I rubbed my temple briefly then exhaled a puff of air. I gave Sam a brief look and then focused on my laptop."If you think I will walk around with you at a good forsaken jewellery shop then you are mistaken. Sam, I have more pressing matters to attend to." I declared."Fine, I'll just do it alone." He groaned with furrowed brows. Then he drew his face closer to me, "Wait, is that a new tattoo on your arm?"The small smile that had creased my lips vanished. "Sam, I need to work!" I coldly uttered which caught him leaving.My eyes rested on the fresh tattoo of an angel on my arm. Every tattoo on my skin reminded me of her. She was engraved in every ink on my flesh. The pain inflicted by the tattoos each time they were carved on my skin, was nothing compared to the pain that she inflicted on my heart.They say time heals all wounds. That with time every sore wound heals eventually. But still, my wound was fresh six years later.The same pain that surged through me six
Jake WilliamHarriet's words kept replaying in my head over and over for most of the meeting. I was unable to concentrate on what Mrs Royale, the owner of Royale Co-orp, was chanting about. My thoughts were all over the place. The main thought being, seeing Brenda again after all these years. Being able to see her enchantingly gorgeous eyes and hold her hand then kiss her lips.No, she is your enemy so don't forget that. She ruined your life, and made a fool out of you. Instead of thinking of how you will claim her lips, think of how you will have your revenge on her! Make her pay.Angry voices yelled in my head, reminding me of my sole purpose which was revenge.I craved to hurt Brenda, to make her feel the same amount of pain I felt when she hurt me years ago. I couldn't allow my feelings to get in the way."Your Highness, that is all concerning the merger." Mrs. Royale's voice gushed through my pile of thoughts, bringing me back to reality.I flashed her a smile, "Where do I sign?"
Brenda G___Did I suddenly die and go to hell? I don't understand how I ended up in the palace as a guest at Dulcie's wedding.When Gena said that her cousin was getting married, she forgot to fill me in on the details as to what her cousin's name was and the name of his bride-to-be. Had she informed me that Sam Juston was her cousin, then I would have declined her invitation. I would have remained in California.I had a horrible feeling from the moment I set foot at the airport. I knew that something wrong would happen during this trip but I couldn't comprehend what it was until now.I have to leave this place, I can't spend a night in this palace. Not when Jake, Harriet, and all the people who hate me, stay here. Wait, what the hell is Harriet even doing here? Isn't she supposed to be with Lance? I shouldn't be worried about petty issues, my major concern should be getting out of here as soon as possible.I paced back and forth in my new room, as thoughts on how to leave unnoticed r
Jake William.______"She gets shameless by the second. Look at how she's busy running around in the garden with him." Harriet's voice rang in my ears as I watched the most infuriating scene unfold.Brenda was playfully chasing Emilio in the garden as they laughed. The sight of her laughing with him made every last drop of blood in my body boil. I compressed the glass of liquor that was in my grip, shattering it into tiny shards. The shards of glass sliced through the flesh of my palms as the liquor seeped into my wounds."Jake, oh my god!" Harriet screamed while examining my bleeding hand. "I'll get a first aid kit." She rushed to my room.The amount of pain inflicted by the shards of glass was nothing compared to the pain inflicted by Brenda.How dare she think that she can be happy after causing me so much pain? How dare she live her life happily while my own life is a wreck? I won't let her live and breathe in peace. I will wipe away that smile from her face. I will make every wak
Brenda G____Few minutes beforeCountless butterflies were fluttering in the confines of my stomach as Emilio and I strolled to the ballroom. The red gown hugged every contour of curves, bringing out my feminine aspect.Emilio, whose arm I was tugging onto, was clad in a ritzy black tuxedo suit that matched his dress shoes. The black official blouse that he had worn, was strangled with a white bow tie at the collar. His neck-length hair was gelled backwards and tied in a low ponytail. He looked remarkably handsome."Keep staring at me like that and I will be compelled to do something unexpected." He leaned in and whispered. A small blush parched my cheeks. Then he drew my hand to his lips and left a peck on it. "By the way, have I told you just how gorgeous you look tonight?" He added.Another blush scorched my cheeks. Listening to his cheesy lines was easing the tension that had been clawing at me the entire time. The thought of seeing Jake at the event was eating at me. I was anxio
Brenda G_____"Wanna get out of here?" I whispered to Emilio. My heart was racing viciously in my chest. I was about to do something that would change everything between Emilio and me."Yes." He replied while smiling so sexily.His back collided with the bedroom wall as I pinned him to it. My lips were mercilessly devouring his. Savouring his delicious moans in the process. My fingers fumbled with his shirt buttons as his hands found the zip of my dress. My desire was heightened and it felt like I would burst from all the emotions that were bottled up inside of me.We broke off the kiss to gulp some air. "Well, I never saw this coming." Emilio teased breathlessly while sliding my dress off."Shut up before I change my mind," I ordered."Bossy, I like it." He hummed.I attacked his neck where I nibbled his tanned skin-sucking, licking, biting as he undressed.He hoisted me and the next thing I felt was my back hitting the fluffy bed. I was under his beastly frame, panting, and waiting
