...ROMAN Me and Xavier sat on the terrace of a chic café, the afternoon sun casting a warm glow over the bustling streets below. I was dressed in a casual outfit, stirred his coffee absentmindedly, a furrow in his brow. Xavier, ever observant, noticed the tension in my posture and decided to probe gently. Xavier began, his tone light but concerned. "Everything okay with Genevieve? You seem a bit off."I sighed heavily and shook his head, his eyes reflecting a mixture of frustration and sadness. "Not really, Xav. We had an argument this morning, right after spending the night together."Xavier's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "What happened? I thought things were going well between you two. You two were on the same page ? "I leaned back in his chair, rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah, I thought so too. Last night was incredible, but this morning... it all fell apart. We started talking about the future, and things got heated."Xavier nodded, encouraging Roman to continue.

...GENEVIEVE The morning sun filtered through the heavy drapes of my luxurious hotel suite, casting soft, golden rays across the plush carpet and illuminating the elegant furnishings. The suite, with its high ceilings and modern decor, exuded an air of opulence, fitting for someone of my stature. It was 9 a.m., and I was standing in front of the large mirror, meticulously getting ready for the day ahead.I reached for my favorite perfume, a subtle, sophisticated scent that lingered just enough to make an impression. A few spritzes on my neck and wrists, and I felt the final touch of my ensemble fall into place. My skirt, tailored to perfection, accentuated my every curve, while the blazer I slipped on gave me an aura of authority that was impossible to ignore. Every detail, from my perfectly coiffed hair to my minimalist makeup, was a testament to my meticulous nature.Sitting on the bed, already dressed and waiting, was Janice. She had been watching me get ready with a mix of a

...GENEVIEVE Me and Janice were sitting comfortably on the plush, velvet couch, a few polaroids and phone pictures spread out on the coffee table in front of us. The sunlight filtered through the large windows, casting a warm, golden glow across the room, enhancing the vibrant hues of the photographs. The air was filled with the easy, lighthearted vibe of two close friends reliving their favorite moments.I leaned back, my laughter ringing through the room as I pointed at one particular photo where I had been caught off-guard, mid-laugh, my hair tousled by the wind on the Vegas strip. “I look ridiculous here!” I chuckled, shaking my head as Janice leaned over, squinting at the picture with a grin.“No, you look like you’re having the time of your life," Janice teased, nudging me lightly. "Vegas really brought out the wild side in you, huh?”I smirked and rolled my eyes playfully. “It was all your fault. You were the one dragging me from one crazy adventure to the next!”Jan

...GENEVIEVE Janice’s mind raced as she tried to make sense of what had just happened. I had always been full of surprises, but this—this was something else entirely.I knew my sister and everything was on her face. She couldn’t hide anything. Jake stood beside me, tall and confident, with an air of nonchalance that matched her own. His eyes swept the room with a subtle smirk, clearly aware of the bombshell he had just walked into. His arm was still draped over my shoulder in that familiar, possessive way, and it was clear from our body language that this was no casual introduction. This was calculated. This was deliberate.Janice blinked, her gaze flicking between me and Jake, trying to reconcile the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside me. Was I serious? Heck I was. A *boyfriend*? Now? In the middle of Olivia’s wedding discussions? I could practically hear the collective gasps of everyone in the room as they slowly processed the revelation.My father, seated beside me just

...GENEVIEVE I sat with my legs crossed, absentmindedly swirling the straw in my drink, my eyes distant as I stared out of the large glass window of the café. Across from me, Janice was engaged in animated conversation with Isabella and Amelia, their voices lively, but I remained quiet, a heavy sigh escaping my lips.Isabella noticed and leaned forward, her brow furrowing. “Genevieve, you okay? You’ve been quiet for a while now,” she asked, her voice tinged with concern. “What’s going on in that head of yours?”I glanced at my sister and friends, then at Jack, who sat beside me, looking equally curious. I sighed again, running a hand through my hair, before finally speaking. “I need to get married to Jack… before the week is over.”Isabella blinked in shock, her mouth falling open slightly. Amelia gasped, wide-eyed, exchanging stunned looks with Janice. “What?” Amelia blurted, her voice incredulous. “Why so soon? What’s the rush?”I bit my lip, unsure how much to reveal. I
