I scoffed in disbelief upon seeing Elizabeth grazing through this whole chaos.

What does she want?

“Why are you here?” I whispered, signaling to Marcus, who quickly stepped in front of me.

“You should leave, Elizabeth. I’m done with you.” I spat.

Whispers went around as the names of Sophia Lancaster and mine lingered on their lips.

“Is it true he’s engaged to Sophia Lancaster? The only daughter of the Lancaster’s companies around the globe?” I could hear a lady whisper amongst the crowds.

Just then, I knew staying here won’t help the situation, especially now that Elizabeth was here.

I don’t know her aim for coming. But one thing is clear: if she makes any drastic moves, I was going to humiliate her; she will wish she hadn’t been born.

“Marcus,” I called, giving Ethan a grave stare. Seems he was out of words since I pronounced Sophia as my fiancée.

“Let’s go,” I commanded.

“Alex–”

“Don’t start, Elizabeth.” My words came as whispers, but they held some threats.

    Just as my father handed over the letter, proclaiming that the doctor had made some mistakes.I couldn’t help but hug Ariel tighter. Tears rolled down my cheeks.“I have to go for another checkup,” I responded happily.Ariel held my hand tighter before letting it go. “Do you need us to come with you?”“No,” I smiled, staring at my father and back at Ariel.I was sure they had some things to talk about. Speaking of my father, he was one to travel every time. And Ariel is a busy one who gets embedded in work.Dragging them with me will only make me look weak and a bit dependent.“I can go on my own,” I said, tapping Ariel on the shoulder.Reaching for my bag and my phone, I stepped out of the house. Waving both of them, I shut the door.All through the journey to the hospital, I couldn’t help but pray that what my father had said was true. This could be the only thing that can restore my confidence.I started regretting everything I had said to Alexander last night. Maybe I shouldn’t ha

    Fear surged through me as I tried so hard to maintain my dignity, but I was too drunk for that.I tried to balance myself, but my frail legs failed me, causing me to crash into his arms, as my eyes beheld his face.“Alex,” I whispered with a smile tugging on my lips. My hand whirled around his neck, my eyes settling on his lips.Damn! This man is the most handsome person I’ve ever seen. The way his tiny nose complemented his thin lips. And his blonde-golden hair complemented his well-shaped jaws, and right now, I couldn’t help myself.“I’m sorry,” I whispered. And before he could say any more words, I kissed off the words from his lips.As he struggled to pull me off, I tripped on his leg and was about to fall when his other hand brought me back to his chest. I inhaled his vanilla aura that spite my nose, and jeez, I wanted him so badly. “What did you give her?” I heard Alexander ask the bartender.“Alex–”“Answer me!” I heard him lash out at the bartender, who quickly brought out t

    The morning sun shone so bright, it made me squint.I was just about to stretch when I realized I wasn’t alone.“Alex?” I gasped, my voice barely above a whisper.As I tried to get out of bed, a wave of heaviness pulled me back down—my hangover finally kicking in.Memories of last night came crashing back. How I had held the bed frame tighter and allowed Alex to ride me like his horse.“Fuck!” I cursed. I didn’t plan for any of this.I wasn’t supposed to tell Alex I was ready to take his offer on this. God damnit! I can’t even face him right now.Carefully getting out of bed, I watched him shift a bit before finally sleeping off again. I reached out for my iPhone and scanned through the messages.“A hundred missed calls?! I covered my mouth as a small gasp left my lips. *Where are you, girl?**Your father is worried. Call me as soon as you get this* Ariel had dropped a series of text messages. I didn’t tell any of them I was going to the club. I never thought they were going to car

    Just after she left, I touched myself beneath and realized I was still turned on.“She looks so hot,” I seethed, before staring at myself and my d*ck in the mirror.I was about to touch myself, just like I had watched in porn movies when a knock landed on the door.I quickly cleared my throat, asking the person to be on standby. “You can come in now,” I said, before sitting back in bed.“Good morning, boss.” Marcus had entered, his eyes scrutinizing the bed.“What?” I questioned abruptly while I trailed his eyes to my boxer.“Seems someone is still having a boner. Did you have sex with her?” Marcus questioned all of a sudden, causing me to shy away.I’m not one to do this, but I’ve always avoided sex, and now, I guess she’s my first. “Shut up, and tell me what the fuck brought you here.” I lashed, adjusting myself, before covering my body with the bedsheets.“Alright,” Marcus smiled before approaching me with the working tablet.“So this…” he started explaining the work for the day

    Getting caught between two men was a whole lot, not to mention running away from Alexander this morning.And now the man I had run away from this morning was standing right in front of me. He is the only one who could save me from this. Just as we broke off from the kiss, Ethan grabbed my hand, but I wouldn’t even allow it.“I’m done with you, Ethan!” I lashed out in front of the reporters with Alex’s hand on my waist.“I don’t want us to do this, Ethan.” Alex stepped in, sending me behind him.“Alex–”“Get back, Elizabeth!” He yelled, signaling to Marcus and his bodyguard to take over.I was about to speak when Alexander lifted me off the ground as he made his way towards the car.“Get the door,” he charged, and quickly, one of the guards did as he instructed.The reporters rushed towards us, flashing their cameras in our faces and asking more questions about what we had done earlier, but none of us answered.“Start the car,” he ordered the driver, who asked where he was headed.“Ta

    “When are you getting married?” my father had asked, leaving me stunned.Shouldn’t he be concerned about his health? I can’t believe my father’s dying, and the only thing on his mind was me getting married to Alexander. Why was it so important?“We need to get you out of this place for surgery, Dad,” I insisted, with tears flowing down my cheeks. I felt my knees wobble beneath me as the thought of my father’s death kept crawling through my mind.“I’ll make you a promise,” he said, smiling in pain. “Which is?” Ariel asked, looking from my father to me.“After you are done with your wedding, I promise to go for surgery,” He said, coughing alongside.I withdrew my hand from my father, as I wiped off my tears before making my way out. It’s like he was trying to marry me off, just so he could leave me alone in this world. Is it fair? I felt some air leave my lungs as I tried to breathe, wiping off the tears that were rolling out of my eyes uncontrollably. Suddenly a hand touched me

    I had signed the contract form a day before today. Today's the D-day, my wedding day. I felt tears prick my eyes, as I blinked them back while staring at my gorgeous self in the mirror. “Your mom will be so proud of you,” Ariel spoke in whispers as she helped snatch my wedding gown behind. Vera Wang, the most popular fashionista, had sewn this wedding gown, and it cost a fortune. One could mistake this wedding for a real one. But deep down, we both know it's just for a year and after that, we can go our own way. “Thanks, Ariel. I don't want to ruin my makeup,” I sniffed before looking at the embroidery on my body; it was so gorgeous. “The groom is waiting,” a feminine voice echoed from behind. “Let them know that we'll be out soon,” I said, heaving a sigh. I could hear music booming from a distance, as my heart started to race faster. “I hope this won't end in disaster,” I whispered. I don't want it to be like the other day I collapsed on the stage. “You look nervous,” “D

    I never thought I'd be nervous on my wedding day. I thought it was just going to be a normal one, but this was different. I'm getting married to the most beautiful woman in New York City. And not just that, the heir to the whole of Lancaster's property. “You look so tense,” Marcus said as I stared at the mirror, perplexed. “Is it really visible?” “Yes. Just relax. I'm sure Sophia wouldn't want her man to look so stressed,” “You've forgotten this is not a real marriage. It's just a contract one, Marcus,” I said before picking up my cologne. “You need to see this,” Marcus suddenly called my attention to my phone. I had handed it over to him, letting him know that he was to handle anything that came my way today. ‘Can I see you for a minute?’ — Elizabeth. “I'm not interested,” I said. “Tell her I'm not interested,” I lashed back at Marcus. Turning my back on him to continue where I left off, Marcus heaved a sigh and started to type when a knock landed on the door. “Alex,” my
