~~~MAYA’S POV~~~“How exactly are you feeling about this engagement?" I looked up, a smile spreading across my face. "It's... indescribable," I began. "Kingsley and I, we've grown up together. We've seen each other at our best and our worst and now, to stand here, knowing we've chosen each other for life… It's beyond amazing. I'm just... I'm so happy I can barely put it into words."Another reporter leaned in, "What do you love most about Mr Kingsley Bane?"My eyes softened as I thought of him. "Oh, where do I even start?" I laughed out. "His smile, for one. It lights up his whole face and when he smiles at me, it's like the whole world disappears. Moreover, his eyes... when he looks at me, it's like he sees straight into my soul. They're this deep, rich blue eyes like ocean that I could get lost in for hours."I paused, a mischievous glint in my eye. "And then there's his long hair that cascade over his shoulder. Well...what's left of it now." I felt sad, “He used to have this gorge

~~~LANCE'S POV~~~Standing in the middle of the room, I watched Maya walk arm in arm with Kingsley. My heart caught in my throat as her radiant smile shone brighter than I'd seen in years and If memory serves me right, the last time I saw that smile on her face was on our wedding day, as she walked down the aisle.That smile used to be only for me but now, seeing it directed at another man sent waves of conflicting emotions through me.I could barely describe how I felt right now. But I was damn sure the unending pain in my chest was from heartbreak. Now I wished I'd never come here as I realized the reaskn why he'd sent me the invitation card in the first place Yesterday, I got a personal invitation from Kingsley Bane's secretary, saying he was moved by the advice I gave him that other day and wanted me here today.Now, with all this I was seeing, I knew he'd planned it all. I already guessed he must've also known about Maya and me since our last chat in the restroom but telling me

I pulled back immediately as I was completely stunned by her words. “Your first time?” I asked again, my voice barely a whisper as I wasn’t really sure if I had heard her right.Maya nodded her head gently, confirming my question and I could see her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. Slowly, she turned under me and grabbed the duvet, trying to cover herself while I stared at her in disbelief, struggling to process her confession again and again.Virgins? In this day and age? I didn’t even meet Ashley as one so meeting her as one was quite a surprise. It seemed almost unreal. Fuck! Why are there so many innocent thing about her? She's really one rare girl.Now, I didn’t even know what to do as a part of me thought I should stop and back off from the innocent soul that was right in front of me and the other part of me really do want her.But I didn't think I could be gentle with her especially being her first time. I was sure this would create a bad memories for her, so I decided

I stood at the top of the grand staircase, watching fancy cars pull up to the mansion. My hands were clenched tight, and my heart pounded so hard that I thought it might burst out of my chest at any moment. But I knew I had to keep it together because today, I'd be in the hot seat for sure. The news had already caused so much trouble that the whole Roderigo family flew back to LA for an emergency meeting. The funniest part was that none of them was available for my engagement party claiming they are too busy and would make it to the wedding but here they were, finally seeing something to nag about. Mom was still in a coma since yesterday, and I was still scared to death she that something might go wrong with her. This shock must've been too much for her to handle. I let out a heavy sigh. I knew the family coming together would solve everything but I was sure that my cousins would definitely attack me first, trying to pin the blame on me. That's how they always are as we never r

I stood next to the door of the private ward, watching my mom on the bed as she was surrounded by cameras and reporters.Mom woke up a couple of hours after the family meeting and immediately agreed to do the live session and clear the air about everything that was going on around.As she started talking about what really happened back then, my heart felt like it was going to burst at how emotional the story was. She really went through a lot both in her family and with her in-laws' family, and I knew that she didn't deserve this.Mom looked so small and fragile, but her voice was strong. I couldn't help but think she was the best mother in the world who would do anything for the sake of her own child.I wasn't of age back then to witness what had happened, but mom always narrated her ordeal to me ever since I was a kid, always telling me how precious I was to them.To some wealthy families, marriage is nothing but a business alliance, but in my parents' case, it was different as it
