XANDER’S POVI stood in front of the mirror, staring at myself. My dark hair was neatly combed, and my suit was perfectly tailored. Today was the day. Today, I was getting engaged to Sasha. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. This was the right thing to do. I repeated those words in my head over and over again.“It’s what’s best for both of us.” I adjusted my tie and tried to smile. The reflection smiled back, but it didn’t reach my eyes. I knew that marrying Sasha made sense. Our families were both powerful, and this engagement would unite two of the biggest business conglomerates in the country. It was a union that everyone had been waiting for, especially my mother and also Sasha has been my girlfriend for so long.Speaking of my mother, I heard her voice outside the door. She knocked softly before entering.“Xander, are you ready?” she asked, her face lighting up with a smile as she walked in.“Yes, Mom. Just a bit nervous, I guess,” I admitted, turning to face her.

My fingers grazed the many dresses hanging in a neat row until they landed on the one I hadn't had the chance to wear yet; the green Meshki dress.I pulled it out and held it up against my body, I could already imagine how it would look on me. The color would surely make my greenish-amber eyes pop and today was the perfect day to wear it.I slipped out of my pajamas and into the dress. The fabric hugged my curves perfectly, making me feel elegant and powerful. I still couldn't believe Sasha had the guts to send me an invitation to her engagement party. She wanted me there to relish and gloat in my pain, It was almost laughable, except it hurt too much to be funny. She wanted me there to gloat, to show off how she had 'won.' But today, I decided I would show her she made a big mistake spreading fake news about me.My outfit, hair and makeup looked great so I grabbed my car keys. I reminded myself how I

SASHA’S POVI was nervous and jumpy wondering when Xander will pop the question. He had left me to go greet some guests and I was surrounded by my friends and old classmates their eyes filled with curiosity and envy."Sasha, you look stunning!" Amanda said, she was one of my closest friends from college who I no longer spoke to. She had always been supportive and genuinely happy for me but I didn’t care and she was only here because her father had an airline."Thank you, Amanda," I replied with a smile, adjusting my dress. "I still can't believe this is happening." I said uninterested wondering what was delaying Xander."Believe it, girl," chimed in Jessica, another friend. She was always the life of the party, with her loud laugh and sparkling eyes."You're about to marry the fourth most handsome man in the world! According to Times Magazine."“I don’t even keep up with that.” I lied. Of course I knew that Xander had been dubbed one of the most handsome men in the world and I was so

The hall was full and they all knew what I was about to do.I was going to propose to Sasha Armstrong, and everything was going perfectly. When I got to the podium, I took a deep breath and smiled at the crowd. I picked up the microphone, feeling its weight in my sweaty hands. I was unusually nervous; but maybe this is how every man felt before proposal.The room quieted down as I began to speak.“Good evening, everyone,” I said, my voice steady. “Thank you all for being here tonight. It means the world to me that you could join us…”The faces in the crowd beamed. I saw my mom sitting in the front row, giving me a reassuring nod.

ADELINE’S POVEveryone in the hall was speaking at once, talking animatedly and pointing hands. I sipped my drink, watching the chaos unfold around me. The news had hit everyone, and they all seemed shocked.“Sasha Armstrong was married all this while. I couldn’t believe it. How did she convince Xander she wasn’t married? Was he lying? What the hell was happening?” They saidCamera flashes lit up the room like fireworks.I sat at a table near the back, sipping my drink, watching everything play out. My eyes scanned the room, taking in the chaos. Sasha, in the middle of it all, suddenly fainted. I didn't buy it. Fainting was probably her way of escaping the mess.Xander looked utterly bewildered. He was speaking to Andre, Sasha’s husband, who seemed to be showing him their wedding photos.The confusion on Xander's face was unmistakable. He kept shaking his head, mumbling something I couldn’t hear from where I was sitting.I knew it was time to leave. I stood up, grabbed my purse, an

ADELINE’S POVFIVE YEARS AGOI and Sasha were polar opposites. I was the ugly sister who wore the most horrendous outfits, while Sasha was the cute, pretty sister. And the next day, my cute, pretty step sister would get married to the man I loved most, Xander. I watched them date, but there was nothing I could do about it. I stood no chance with him because she had made sure to humiliate me countless times in front of him, making sure he saw me as frumpy and ugly before they started dating.Some days earlier, she had found my hidden stash of love letters I wrote to Xander but never sent.Instead of her normal attitude of beating me and punishing me with her mother, she just smiled and said "This will serve my purpose just fine," and took the letters away. I didn’t understand what she meant but I was glad I wasn’t receiving punishment.Wedding preparations were ongoing, but I was in my room, weeping profusely. There was nothing I could do to stop it. There was no one coming to save

SASHA’S POVI screamed, crashing everything in my room, crying profusely, and dragging my hair. What was all this? What just happened? Not only did I not get engaged, but I was also publicly humiliated and shamed. How did Andre, my broke husband I ran away from, find me? And it wasn’t just any day. It was on my engagement day.I was so scared to check the messages on my phone. I didn’t want to see the messages, the sympathy or the mockery. I was a public embarrassment.The scene kept replaying over and over in my head. I could still see Xander’s face when he asked if I had been truly married before.His eyes were wide with shock and hurt, his voice trembling with disbelief."Is it true, Sasha? Were you really married before?"I could only shake my head no, my voice caught in my throat. The room felt like it was spinning. The whispers, the stares, everyone was looking at me.The only thing I could do, instead of wishing the ground would swallow me whole, was to pretend to faint.I fel

SASHA’S POVI sat on the cold floor of my bedroom, clutching my knees to my chest. Tears streamed down my face, and I couldn't stop them. How did everything go so wrong after the plans I made? I pulled my hair from the roots as if that would somehow pull out the hurt and sobbed uncontrollably.The door creaked open, and my mom stepped in. "Sasha?" she called softly. She crossed the room and knelt beside me, her eyes filled with concern. "Please, calm down. Don’t cry yourself to death we can figure this out."I looked up at her, my vision blurry with tears. "Xander doesn't trust me anymore," I choked out. "I can't face anyone after what happened. It was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, and now it's all ruined. I'm humiliated, Mom. How can I ever show my face again?"She sighed and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "Sasha, you brought this on yourself by lying to everyone and running away because of money. But it doesn't matter now. We'll fix it, okay? We'll find a way."

I switched off my phone, ignoring the calls and messages. I knew everyone was worried, but I couldn’t bring myself to speak to anyone, not even my mom.For three days, the only person I saw was the nurse. She came and went quietly, tending to me. I had caught a fever, probably from the stress and lack of sleep. The first day was the worst. I was burning up, my body drenched in sweat. My private nurse Mary, had brought cool clothes to place on my forehead, spoon-fed me soup, and made sure I took my medicine.“Xander, you need to drink more water,” Mary said, holding a glass to my lips. Her voice was soft.I took a sip, wincing at the effort. “Thanks, Mary,” I mumbled, my voice hoarse.She smiled, patting my hand. “Just rest. You’ll feel better soon.”I kept thinking of how I met Sasha. We had moved the fam
