—JENNIFER—“ Oh please, You used to spend more than half of the day with me. '' Alex scoffed. “ Because YOU were always swinging on my back, forcefully. “ Christian replied, giving him a pointed look. “ I don't know how I even put up with you for all these years. “ Alex huffed. “ I should be saying this. “ Christian snorted in disbelief. “ Please ignore him. He can be an asshole sometimes.” Alex said, ignoring his best friend's comment and turned back towards me. “ I doubt about ‘sometimes’ “ I mumbled, definitely not for them to hear, but unfortunately they did. “ I can totally agree on that. “ Alex and Anya laughed while Christian glared at me from the side. “ I'm still here.” He grunted. “How unfortunate!! “ I mumbled again. Not caring if they heard and waited for another laugh but the laughter never came as Alex and Anya turned their heads to look at Me and Christian continuously. “ Wow!! I'm loving this.” Finally Alex spoke up and We both frowned. “ Love, what?? “ We
—JENNIFER—I sucked into a sharp breath when he started walking towards me, without breaking eye contact and within a few moments, he was standing in front of me with his hand extended. I stared at him then at his hand, which was waiting for mine to be placed on him. My head was suddenly blank, unable to tell what I should do when I was suddenly pushed towards him gently. I gasped, landing straight into Christian’s arms. He had held me quickly, before I could tumble over my own dress and fall on my face. Regaining my balance, I stepped back a little and turned to find all the eyes fixated on us. Heat creeped to my cheeks at the unwanted attention.I realised that it was Anya who pushed me, seeing me all frozen in my place. I was pulled back from my thoughts when Christian grabbed my hand and started dragging me towards the stage. I was unable to meet up with his speed, partly because of the dress and partly because of these bitchy heels. People, who were looking at us lovingly a m
—CHRISTIAN—I was cursing the moment I met this girl, who's now my fiance. Looking down at my ring finger, I shut my eyes tightly in annoyance. Leaving the congratulating crowd on the stage for Jennifer to handle, I walked out of the house and called James. He picked up at the second ring and his voice came. “ Y-Yes Sir? “ His tone was confused and laced with utter disbelief which he couldn't hide. Of course, he couldn't because his maniac boss is calling him during his own engagement that too when he is also present here. My conscience snorted at me. “ I want you to do a background check on Miss. Wingsley!! “ I said and the silence prevailed on the other side. “James?? “ I called out with a frown. “ Y-Yes Sir. Are you referring to Miss. Jennifer?? “ His stutters were giving away his nervousness. “ Do we have any other Miss Wingsley here, James?? “ I asked, deadpanned. “ N-No Sir. But-“ Do as you are asked, James. I want every single detail about her. Anything suspicious, an
—JENNIFER—His hands were clutching my wrist at either side of my head in such a harsh grip that it almost felt bruising. “ What the hell are you doing?? “ I flinched, literally frightened of those angry eyes. “ What the fuck do you want?? “ He hissed, tightening his grip on my wrists and getting closer. His angry hot breaths were touching my face, his nose almost brushing mine, making me look away and not him. His mood was terrifying, dominating. “ W-What do you m-mean?? Ah- leave me. “ I flinched in pain as he bored his eyes into mine. “ Stop playing fucking innocent.” He barked on my face and I flinched again. “ What did I even d- uh, stop it. You are hurting me. ““ That's what you deserve and this is what you are going to have all your life from now on since you are desperate to marry me. “ His hissed again, pressing his face on mine, our lips only an inch away. I hitched my breath for a moment before pushing him away with all my might and gasping for air. “ What the fuck
—JENNIFER—A week passed in blink and I was thankful for not having any male specimens of the Brown family in my way. I ignored Mathhew's calls and he finally had to call Dad to discuss anything. I was only receiving Anya's calls. That girl is just too adorable to ignore. In these seven days, she had visited me with four stylists and made me try around thirty six wedding dresses but she didn't like a single one of them for me. She made me run behind her for five continuous hours in the malls to shop other things needed for the wedding. And to make it even worse, She and Cally had teamed up. I got to know that she loves shopping, just like Cally and my experience with these two was terrifying. But all their plans and preparations were thrown into the water when Christian demanded that the wedding will be simply taking place in court and only families will be present. For once I was happy about something he had said. We didn't meet or talk after that argument on our engagement and b
—JENNIFER —“ I missed you!!” saying that he dipped down his head and kissed my cheek.WHAT THE FUCK!! I trembled in his hold as my stomach did some weird thing. His lips lingered on the spot for some seconds before he pulled back and stared LOVINGLY in my eyes. Like some long lost love who finally met me after chopping down the mountains to reach me. Heat creeped up to my neck and cheeks as I suddenly felt hot everywhere. A smirk got stretched on his lips seeing me being so affected by his touch. I was pulled back from my shock by the loud gasps and I looked at him in disbelief. “ What on the earth-“Christian?? “ An excited screech rang in the air and I turned my head back to find Cally standing there beside Celeste. Both of their mouths opened wide as they stared at us. To be specific, Me in Christian's arms. Realising it, I quickly pulled back and stood at a little distance from him but he didn't left my hand. “ Won't you introduce me to your friends, Princess?“ I was cut
—Jennifer—I turned back for the sixth time to look at my house. The place where I was born, raised and spent all my life, made so many memories. But finally it's time to leave it behind and start my new life, in a new house.Yes, it was the day of my wedding or should I call it the day of my doom?? “ Jennifer, we are getting late. Let's go.” Dad spoke up in a huff for don't know how many times. “ Come on, Love. It has to be this way. Today or tomorrow, you'd have to leave us, this house. Now your home is where Christian is. He's your family and I know he'll keep you happy. “ Mom said, kissing my forehead. Joke of the century!! I scoffed mentally at my helpless situation before Mom gently dragged me towards the car where dad was holding the door for me. I was about to turn back for one last time but dad's one glare stopped me. “ You seem to be so happy for kicking me out of your house!! “ I squinted my eyes at him and he shook his head before placing a hand on my head and pushed
—JENNIFER—And when exactly has my fate sided with me?? Never. Duh!! I clenched my jaws seeing Christian walking towards us with Alex by his side. All my prayers and bargains of not reading smut and eyefucking the hot guys ,with God and his angels went into vain. At Least you got saved from the deadly promises!! My conscience giggled and I shooed it away focusing on the devil in front of me. His eyes met mine with the matching glare that I was throwing his way. But we got interrupted by Matthew. “ Where the heck were you two?? “ He barked, stepping towards the guys. “ We were caught up in something urgent. Let's get it over with. “ He said and without giving anyone any chance to speak or even think, he entered inside the Lawyer's Chamber leaving us all with hung jaws. “ This stupid goblin!! “ I hissed, stomping my feet on the floor. “ I literally thought he ditched you. “ Cally whispered beside me. “ I wish he would. “ I gritted the words out and followed everyone inside.
