The Bride Chapter 17: With Friends Like these…
Chapter 17: With Friends Like these…My heart thrashes against my ribcage as I continue to stare at Gabby, unsure of what to do next.The kiss had changed something fundamental between the two of us, something that could either make or break this fragile bond pulsating between us.Yet, reality had a way of asserting itself, and the disruption of laughter and gossips from outside shatters our bubble of bliss.A sudden awareness gripped us, and the realization struck – we were in a public restroom, not the privacy of our dorm room.Panic flickered in our eyes as we fumbled to disentangle ourselves from the moment we had created.As we moved to leave, a familiar laughter echoed through the restroom, piercing through the fog of desire.My heart sank, recognizing the voices of my so-called friends, Candice and Marian.The light-hearted banter changed into a chilling reminder of the judgmental world waiting just beyond the restroom door.Dread crept over me, a cold sensation that differed s
The Bride Chapter 18: Start of Something New
Chapter 18: Start of Something NewMy mind buzzed with a chaotic mix of emotions as droplets of water trickled down my skin, remnants of the shower I had just taken.Wrapped in a towel, I paced around my room, trying to find something suitable to wear while grappling with the aftermath of that unexpected kiss with Gabby at the restroom.The vivid recollection of the touch lingered in my thoughts, leaving me restless and uncertain.I glanced at myself in the mirror, my reflection revealing the conflict etched on my face. The room, dimly lit, held an atmosphere heavy with unspoken tension.I questioned the implications of that stolen moment – what did it mean for my relationship with Gabby? The air was thick with confusion as I finally changed into my nightgown, getting ready for bed.As I meandered around my room, my fingers traced the edge of a framed photograph on my nightstand. It captured a moment of laughter between me and Gabby, a snapshot of a time when the world seemed simpler.
The Bride Chapter 19: The Ink on her Skin
Chapter 19: The Ink on her SkinThe air between us felt charged, and I couldn't ignore the magnetic pull that seemed to intensify in Gabby's presence. The room was filled with tension as Gabby prepared to strip, leaving me contemplating the unexpected turn of events.The atmosphere crackled with unspoken anticipation as Gabby's movements became deliberate, casting a spell over me.As Gabby inched closer, I couldn't escape the intoxicating aroma that surrounded her. The scent, a blend of warm cinnamon and roses, enveloped me, leaving my senses stimulated.Lost in the olfactory symphony, I questioned whether it was Gabby's shampoo or soap that contributed to the captivating fragrance.Gabby's tank top ascended over her head, revealing a half-naked figure that seized my attention instantly. I tried not to look…to divert my eyes away from the supple mounds of her breasts, but Gabby turned to face me, nonchalantly discarding her top, leaving me mesmerized by the raw vulnerability laid bare
The Bride Chapter 20: The First Time You were Mine
Chapter 20: The First Time You were MineI found ourselves lost in an intimate moment. The air was filled with a subtle tension, a magnetic pull drawing us closer. Our fingers intertwined, the gentle touch creating a symphony of sensations rushing through my veins.My hands move faster than even my brain, and in an instant, I can feel her warm, impossibly soft skin underneath my fingers.I brush her hair off her shoulders before lightly grazing it down her arms and to her back. I felt a rush of satisfaction at the shiver I could feel underneath my fingertips.I was now very aware of how wet I was. I could feel my clit throbbing, my thighs clenching on their own as if to keep the sensation at bay. I had never felt like this my entire life…and now, it became painfully clear as to why I could never have been happy with my arranged marriage to Jordan.It's almost painful how turned on I am. Luckily, Gabriella was just as impatient as she pushed me back until I fell onto the bed with a huf
The Bride Chapter 21: Whispers of the Past Part 1
Chapter 21: Whispers of the Past Part 1The end of first semester brought a brand new surprise for all of us, in the form of an Annual Dance Competition to showcase our talents as future professionals. I couldn't believe my luck when Gabriella and I were paired together to perform a mix of contemporary and ballet.The pressure and excitement filled the air as we began our strict training journey, pushing ourselves to the limits as the semester progressed.Our goal?A hefty prize of $20,000 and a coveted full scholarship till the end of term.From the very start, it was evident that Gabriella and I shared an undeniable chemistry on the dance floor, which was only heightened by the fact that we were a couple in secret, sharing the same dorm room.The teacher, recognizing our natural connection, often commended us for being a wonderful pair that complemented each other seamlessly.It wasn't just about the movements; it was as if we communicated through the rhythm, understanding each othe
The Bride Chapter 22: Whispers of the Past Part 2
Chapter 22: Whispers of the Past Part 2Later that night, as we slept cuddled in each other’s arms; my mind went to the fact that even though I had just told Gabby everything about my life before I came to the academy…Gabby was still the enigma that I saw on the first day.She usually liked to keep her private life private, and I hadn't seen her actively discuss her life with anyone else. Even the people at the academy knew next to nothing about her, hence the countless rumors that kept circulating about her, to the point where some levelled her a gangster or a hooker.Gabby didn’t give a shit about what others said about her behind her back, which was very typical Gabby behaviour. But I on the other hand…wanted to know more about her.Right then, I heard Gabby hum quietly to herself as she drew lazy patterns on my arm. It was something she usually did when she was in a good mood.Taking the cue, I decided to delve into her life, recalling the gap in our knowledge about each other."G
The Bride Chapter 23: Acceptance like no Other
Chapter 23: Acceptance like no OtherIt wasn’t long before Gabby suddenly burst into my room one morning and told me to get ready, because we were going to meet her parents.It was a Sunday, usually the time when all her family gathered and spent quality time together.“Is it okay for me to visit randomly?” I asked, nervous as hell. After all, my experience with adults had been less than ideal up until this point in my life, so it was only natural for me to feel that I was going to be treated the same way my parents treated me.“Kyra, you need to stop comparing every adult to your parents, only then will you be able to overcome your fears.” Gabby reassured me, understanding the root cause of my hesitation without me even having to word it out. “Now, come on. My mom must have cooked up and entire feast for you.”Even though Gabby’s reassurance helped me immensely, the seeds of doubt still lingered.As we approached her family's elegant home, I couldn't help but admire the grandness of
The Bride Chapter 24: Intertwined With You
Chapter 24: Intertwined With You“I want to be with you, Kyra, in every sense of the word." Gabby told me, taking my hand and placing it on her chest, right over her heart.I could feel the erratic beat of her heart through my palm, the way she was just as nervous as I was…it gave me a kind of reassurance that I wasn’t alone in all of this. She felt the same way too.It also made me realize that none of this was a dream, and I was living in the reality where I had found the love of my life…the person who would accept me for who I was and stay beside me no matter what.In that charged moment, the emotional floodgates opened, and our words became a torrent of passion and longing."Kyra, I've never felt so alive before. Let's embrace this, let our hearts guide us.” She urged, bringing our bodies incredibly closer. “I want to be the one who holds you close, who shares every joy and goes through every challenge with you."As we spoke, the emotional intensity soared, binding us in a shared

Of course, it was Gabby, my loving wife, showering me with morning kisses.Blinking sleepily, I felt a flutter of excitement in my chest, knowing that today held a special significance.Gabby's voice, warm and playful, filled the room as she whispered, "Do you remember what today is, love?"I feigned ignorance, a mischievous smile tugging at the corners of my lips."Hmm, let me think," I replied, pretending to rack my brain for the answer.“Really now?” She smirked, her eyes glinting with mischief. “Then let me help you remember.”Her hands that had been resting on my chest, slowly made their way down my body, before she lifted up the white silk night dress that I was wearing and her hands made their way to my womanhood, without the barrier of an underwear.“Look who’s been playing naughty.” She whispered against my ear before she bit down lightly on my lobe,

The Bride Chapter 55: Justice Served
Chapter 55: Justice ServedI sat on the porch swing with Gabby, the weight of the past few weeks seemed to lift off our shoulders as we watched the videos of our wedding going viral on the internet.The news of Jordan's arrest had spread like wildfire through our small town, and while it brought relief, it also brought a new wave of gossip and judgment. People whispered behind our backs, casting a shadow over our family name."Can you believe it, Kyra?" Gabby sighed, her voice heavy with exhaustion. "I never thought we'd see the day when helping another woman walking out of an abusive relationship would be termed ‘none of our business and ‘we should’ve stayed out of their personal life’."I shook my head, the disbelief still lingering."I know, it's like something out of a movie.” I sighed, closing my phone. “But it's over now, and we can move on. Jordan got the punishment he deserved and Cathy is now free of his abuse. Justice was served."Gabby nodded, her eyes scanning the street f
The Bride Chapter 54: Revelations of the Past Part 2
Chapter 54: Revelations of the Past Part 2The gasps from the gathered crowd echoed in my ears, each one a painful reminder of the betrayal that had unfolded before us.I watched in disbelief as Cathy's father stood there, his face a mask of shock and horror.The disclosure that he had accepted money in exchange for his daughter's hand in marriage hung heavy in the air, casting a shadow over the sanctity of our union.Cathy's voice trembled as she turned to her father, her eyes brimming with tears."Is it true?" she whispered, her voice barely above a whisper. "Did you sell me off like that?"The silence that followed was deafening, broken only by the ragged sound of Cathy's breaths.My heart ached for her, for the pain and betrayal she must be feeling in this moment of reckoning. But Jordan's cruel words cut through the silence like a knife, his accusations casting doubt upon everything we thought we knew.“Of course he did! He took the money like a beggar even though you refused to

My eyes darted between Cathy, Jordan, and the rest of the stunned guests.Cathy's attempt to restrain Jordan only seemed to fuel his rage further.I could see the fear in her eyes as she reached out to him, her hand trembling. But when he felt her touch, he jerked his hand away as if he was disgusted by her, before he gripped her arm tightly when she attempted to reach for him yet again."Stop it, Jordan!" I screamed, my voice echoing through the room.But he seemed oblivious to my pleas, his grip tightening on Cathy's arm as he shoved her away.My stomach churned as I watched her fall to the floor, cradling her swollen belly. Panic washed over me at the sight of her clutching her pregnant stomach.My mind raced as I struggled to comprehend the horror unfolding before me, even as several gasps sounded from all over the room.How could Jordan be so cruel,

Angie asked, her brow furrowed with worry. "There are still several people who don't like you, Kyra."Gabby smiled confidently, her eyes sparkling with determination."Those who want to come to the wedding will come, regardless of what others think," she replied, her voice filled with confidence."And besides, our wedding will be broadcast live on TV, thanks to our fame in the ballet world.
