A Billion-dollar Marriage Contract

I don't think I've ever been more scared in my life than I was at that moment. I was still standing, locked in the four walls of the bathroom. My hands shook and avoided the door knob like a plague. Knowing he was standing just outside the door, waiting for me wasn't comforting. I stared at the two faint black strips. According to the pack, two lines means positive. For the third time, it was positive again. I felt hot all over, my feet was rooted to the ground. How?. How did this happen?. I didn't understand. I was confused. I jumped at the sudden bang of the door. "Why is this taking so long." He said irritatingly from the other side of the door. I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. "If you don't come out here in five seconds, I'm gonna be coming in there." I panicked at his words. I immediately rushed to the sink and picked up the other two digital pregnancy tests. I looked around the bathroom for where I can hide it, but my eyes couldn't seem to focus o

We stared at the dozens of paparazzi that crowded the entrance of the church from the windows of the limousine.“Wow. They weren’t capping when they said it was gonna be the biggest wedding in New York.” One of Chloe’s bridesmaid said. I think her name is Daphne.“Who is they?.” Penelope, another bridesmaid asked. “The news, the internet, Twitter. It’s everywhere.” Daphne said.“Why am I so nervous? Is it normal for me to be this nervous? I’m not even the one getting married. Oh my God I think I’m freaking out.” Eva, Chloe’s best friend said. She was the only friend of Chloe’s I like. “It’s completely normal. I’m nervous too.” I told her.The limo was parked at a spot and how door was opened for us. We all stepped out and began walking down the short and narrow trail that led to the entrance of the church.One of the paps standing at the entrance turned around and immediately the rest of the swarmed around us like a bee, they were smart enough to stand by our sides and not block our

The first person to notice it wasn't Chloe that had exchanged vows at the altar but me was my best friend, Adriana. It had been right after Chris and I pulled away from the kiss. I had been unable to look into his eyes after as I couldn't help but feel ashamed about what I did. The fact that I kissed my sister's husband to me and liked it made me feel disgusted with myself. I had immediately turned to the audience searching for my parents to seek some sought of comfort from them. But my eyes met with Adriana's first instead and the way she stared wide eyed at me told me that she knew it was me. I had broken eye contact with her immediately and stepped down the altar. I needed to get out of the white dress immediately. My work was after all done there. I knew Zach must have been looking for me, he was supposed to be my date to the after-party but I doubt that would be the case anymore. I wasn't ready to see him or explain everything to him but I knew I had to do it. I owed him that mu

The wedding reception was a garden party held upon a day of blue skies and sweetly rising heat. so palpable and real. Delicate white florals, plenty of lush greenery, light linens, decorated the garden. Unlike at the church earlier this morning, there weren't that many people here. Just close family and friends. From distance I could see my dad having a conversation with Chris's dad. He was smiling from ear to ear. My eyes found my mom too among the little crowd and she looked just the same as my dad. She had a bright smile on her face too. Looks like everyone here is happy but me."Hey." A masculine voice whispered into my ear from behind. I suddenly jumped up, startled. I turned around and standing before me was Chris. My heart jumped at the sight of him. I stared into his deep green eyes and for a moment I got lost in them. His gaze were too intense and I just couldn't hold it. I broke eye contact and took two steps back when I realized we were standing too close to each other.I

"Lesley!." My mom's voice suddenly said, jolting me awake. I almost jumped off my bed from the suddenness of it all. My heart was pounding so hard in my chest. I looked around trying to figure out where I was. I was disoriented. Slowly I began to regain complete consciousness. "Mom, what's wrong?." I said, my voice still hoarse from sleep. I was in my room, I glanced at the window to see if it was morning yet but saw it was still dark outside. "What time is it, mom?." I asked."It's past ten." She said. "When did you leave the party? Your father and I looked everywhere for you. We called your number but you never answered our calls."I ran a hand through my hair and rubbed down my face. "I forgot my phone at the hotel." A yawn escaped my lips. After my conversation with Chris, I had been so tired that I hailed a cab and came back home to have a short nap. Turns out it wasn't so short 'cause it lasted over three hours. "Mom, don't worry I'm not Chloe. I'm not gonna run away. Where i
