All Chapters of Xara: His beautiful unwanted bride: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Xara lay on her worn-out mattress, staring at the ceiling, waiting for the day of her cursed marriage. She had tried several times to change her parent's minds, but to no avail. She didn't want this kind of life for herself. She wanted to graduate, find a job, find true love and then settle down with the man of her dreams. She was a beauty to behold.I guess that ain't happening anytime soon. She thought to herself. Why hadn't she run off, just like her sister Mabel did? She just didn't have the guts to do so. She had always put her family before another thing, and this is what it had landed her into. “Maybe it won't be that bad; at least I get to continue my education and mom and dad live a better life." She tried to convince herself. She heard a knock on her door as her best friend, Alianna entered. “Bad time?" She asked her. “Does it matter anymore?" She sighed as her friend sat beside her. Alianna came from a well-to-do family. She lived in Park Slope, one of the richest neig

Two months into her marriage, she hadn't heard from her parents, not her sister. Her husband had travelled out for a business trip; she thought she might get some freedom, but she was wrong; he had made sure his staff and P.A. watched her every move like a hawk.The only things that kept her sane were school, Penny, and Alianna. Penny and Alianna got along so well and she was glad for that. “Xara, you zoned out again?" Penny said pausing the movie that they were watching.“I'm fine." She tried convincing her. “No, you aren't; your mind is somewhere else." She pressed. “It's just that two months ago I was a struggling poor student, but yet I had my freedom to do anything, but now that I married a rich man, I am regretting every bit of it. This is not how I pictured my happy ever after." She cried out. “It's going to be fine, " Alianna said, standing at the doorway. “Could this get any worse than it already is?" She whispered. “You know, I hate to see you like this," Alianna said

“Hi, beautiful, where's my wife?" Kai asked as he walked past Xara. She had listened to her friend's advice and gotten a makeover. She cut her long boring dark brown hair to shoulder length and had gotten light brown highlights in her hair. She had also discarded her dull, boring and unattractive clothes for sexier ones. “ Welcome home, Mr Maximilian," Xara spoke out making his jaw drop.“X-Xara?" He called shocked as she smiled at him. “ You had a makeover?" He asked happily for a while. "I hope you're not dressing sexy for any other man, because whatever you do, you'll always be poor, boring Xara Wilson and nothing more." He stormed away. "WHAT EVER DID I DO TO YOU?" She screamed after him as he came to a halt, staring at her sobbing on the floor. "You agreed to marry me; you could have declined, but you married me anyway, knowing full well that I don't love you." He responded softly. "Do you think I had a choice?" She laughed. "Perhaps I should have run away like Mabel, mayb

For a couple of days, Xara hadn't seen her husband after what had happened. She hadn't breathed a word to her friends or her mom and they didn't suspect a thing. She behaved normally as if nothing had happened. “Sorry, I didn't--- Kai?" Xara called out shocked. Her husband looked dishevelled. It was as if he hadn't showered nor slept for a few days now. He wanted to bypass her and enter into the room but she blocked his path. She couldn't let him beat himself up anymore for this. It had already happened and the harm couldn't be undone. “Just let me through, please." He softly spoke as she made way for him to enter following closely before he shut the door in her face. “Kai." She placed her hand on his shoulder. He pushed her hands-off as he was about walking off when she grabbed his arm. “ You can't keep doing this to yourself, the harm has already been done. Just try to forget it and move on." She advised. “Just leave." He pointed at

“ You seemed so happy with Kai?! What happened now, why are you leaving now that the moment you've been waiting for is here!" Xara asked her sister. “Im sorry Xara, Kai is a great guy no doubt, but I can't, I can't marry him. I'm sorry I had to do this, look on the bright side you both would make a perfect couple." Mabel tried to console her sister. Kai was great but she couldn't marry a man who would have no time for her and her future kids. But with Mike, he was everything a woman wanted. He was there for her when Kai started sleeping around with other women. He was there when Kai wouldn't care a hoot about what his mistresses said or did to her. She needed to be with a man who cares and Mike was the right man. “I-i have to go." Mabel wiped the tears off Xara's face and left without looking back. “Why couldn't you stop her?" Her dad shouted at her as he read the note Mabel left behind. “I trie
