Third Person's Point of ViewAugust was still seething in anger when a trace of memories earlier came back to his senses. He closed his eyes as he leaned against the couch.He's already at the Alquezer Mansion. He went straight home after left hanging on Aaron and Blaire's conversation on the car. And he's as inquisitive as hell on what Blaire had replied on his older brother's question.August hissed as he messed his hair out of irritation. Even the housemaids of the Alquezers were surprised upon seeing him to be that preoccupied after years of being successful on his business around the world. This is their first time to see August on that state. And it somehow baffled them as to who was the reason behind his sudden actions. It intrigued them who was capable of doing that to the playboy billionaire, August Alquezer.August, on the other hand, held his head up when he heard the opening of the front door. There, he saw his family, face filled with disappointment and... anger."Dad."A
Aliana Blaire's Point of View"So... what did your family and the Alquezers talk about the wedding? Was it already been sealed? Were you going to prepare for the wedding already?" Leia immediately asked me before I could even take a sit on one of the chairs here in a high-end bar in New York. After the meet-up earlier and after Aaron drove me home, my friends suddenly showed up in front of my house, with their usual faces, as if I had a story to tell.I sneered playfuly. "Leia, can't you wait until I can comfortably sat down? You're freaking impatient!" I exclaimed, giving her an intense glare for rushing me.And do you know what she did? She just rolled her eyes off me! As if I was the one at fault for not telling them the story.I groaned, making my friends burst out a loud laughter, as if we're not in a public place."We can't blame, Leia, Blaire. She's as curious as hell. Well, we all know how gossiper she can be. I bet she can be satisfied all day just by hearing news like this,"
Just how fast the night changes, the dat that I'll be tying myself with the hands of my ex boyfriend came.The wedding day.Out of all women who had dreamt so much about how great to be wedded to the love of your life, some has brought the opposite side of the story, and I'm one of them. I am not happy about the wedding that I've gotten into... because I know soonest--- in the coming days, I'll be in a great pain for living with the man that broke my heart into pieces. It has still the wound that he caused me years ago. He wounded my heart badly, that it's hard for me to heal it."I never imagined you could be wedded to your ex boyfriend, Blaire," says Leia, which made us to look at her."We didn't expect this day would come rather," Amari corrected which gain all of our attention.We're at the dressing room since I'm readying myself to the wedding that I'll be into a little later. And having them, my friends, talking about my journey on marrying my ex boyfriend, has brought a loud la
"AB, look at Archie's face and put your right hand at his chest."I followed AC's commands, our photographer. I looked up at Archie and put my hand on his chest. As usual, he fixed his position and leaned closer to me. The two of us stared at each other as if we're romantically attracted. Just then, I heard the camera clicks."Perfect!" I smirk and fist-bumped Archie before leaving the set. I approached my personal assistant at took the small fan before going to AC to look at the photos taken during the photoshoot. "You really nailed it, huh?" AC amazedly commented while looking at her taken photos of us making me shrug, bragging.It wasn't eluded on AC's eyes making her smirk and shook her head."AB, tell me the truth..." AC trailed off as she smirked at me, giving me a different eyelook. "What's the real deal between the two of you? Is there something going on? Mutual understanding? Like that? The two of you stared at each other differently earlier, it's as if the two of you were
"Marry Augustine's son, darling. That's all I could think that would solve our problem."I stiffened on my seat. "Who among the Alquezer brothers are you referring to, Dad?" I nervously asked.Dad smiled at me. "It's August, darling."I felt like I had been hit a million times. What the heck?! Why the fuck did it have to be August? Why of all people, he's the one I should marry off?Why my ex boyfriend?I immediately stood up from my sweviling chair. "No freaking way! There's no way that I'll be marrying him off! No way, Dad! I could accept anyone, but him!" I exaggeratedly exclaimed, trying my luck to stop the shit that I am hearing.I saw how Dad heaved a deep sigh on my reaction. I averted my gaze. I got a little conscience knowing I jut raised my voice on Dad. This is the first time that I had raised my voice towards him."Why did it have to be him?" I say in frustration. "Why do I have to marry my ex boyfriend?" I say, more like a murmur.Dad sighed and looked at me. "We don't ha
"Why don't you ask for his help?" she suddenly stated which made me crinkle my forehead."Whose help?" I confusingly asked.In a smirk, she pointed the television using her lips and there, I saw an unexpected familiar face of a man.It's August Alquezer. He is a visitor on one of the most talked show in the world."Everyone, we have August Alquezer, one of the richest business tycoon in the whole world," the host introduced August as soon as he entered the stage with the cameras following and capturing his fucking face.The host and interviewer stood up as soon as August came in. "Thank you for your time to accept our invitation on this interview, Mr. Alquezer," the interviewer showed her gratitude and respect to my fucking ex boyfriend."And thank you for having me, Miss Gina," he responded which gain a sneer on me.A public stunt. As if he's that kind and respectful."We won't be beating around the bush. I know and I knew you know how much the viewers are eager to know about the thi
I slept restlessly that night. I was weighing things of what might the possibilities if I would marry August or not.If I would marry him, I'm sure I'll be living my life in hell. Knowing him, he knows how to play the life of every woman. Even if we'll say he doesn't have anything to me, but I know too much that he'll hurt me, in any possible way.But if I wouldn't marry him, our company would fully lost its race. And it might be possible that the company that my mother had valued enough would vanish on our hands.I closed my eyes tightly and the things that have been running on my head totally occupied me. When back to reality, I stood up and walked downstairs, only to welcome with the silence of the house.I searched for Mom and saw her on the kitchen. "Where's Dad, Mom? Why is it so silent in here?"Mom glanced at me at the door frame and smiled at me. "Your Dad leave the house early. He's meeting some acquaintances. He's also finding a way to save our company, sweetheart," says Mo
"I don't know," I say, more like a whisper."Why don't you agree on the proposal? Marry him," Leia stated which made me look at her."Tell me Leia. How do I marry him if he had played me before? How am I able to look at his face while we were living on one roof? That would be a nightmare," I say which made them go silent."Do you still love him?" Leia suddenly asked which made me panic. "W-What kind of question is that, Leia? Of course not! How am I able to love someone who played my heart before? I would never allow myself to get played, again. Not again," I firmly said.I felt uneasy when I saw how they gave me a different eyelook. "What?" I exclaimed. "What's with the stares?" I confronted them."You're lying," Reese stated after staring at me for a moment. "You still love him. No matter how worst he played your heart, you still love him. He still have a place on your heart, Blaire."I immediately went silent after that. Out of all my friends, Reese was the one to easily read my
