They could not turn back from the love they had for each other. Carissa finds herself in the middle of two options that means a lot to her. She either get married to the billionaire, Ethan, who had helped her family, or her lover, Stan, who her heart beats for. It stands to be a difficult choice for her, especially when Stan shows up on her wedding day.
View MoreThe couple’s fun fair, which Carissa thought would make her and Ethan better in their relationship turned out to be worse than she had thought. Not only did she meet her ex lover, but he was in the hands of another lady.“Why didn’t he tell me that he had a girlfriend?” Carissa asked herself as she tossed uncomfortably on the car seat.“Are you okay?” Ethan’s voice disrupted her thoughts and as usual, she put up a smile that didn’t get to her eyes.“I’m very fine. I had fun today”, Carissa lied, but wasn’t swift enough because Ethan observed it.“Are you sure about that? Your expression contrasts with what you just said”, Ethan pushed further, throwing questioning glares at Carissa who tried to remain aplomb.“I’m sure about that”, Carissa replied and took in a deep breath. “How about you? You appeared so cold and different the moment your eyes landed on Stan”, Carissa said and peered piercingly into his eyes.“You appeared extremely disturbed when you both had a dance together. I sh
Carissa closed her eyes as she took in the soft lyrics of the song that played. With Stan’s hands on her waist, she could swear that she was on top of the world.“Tell me you didn’t miss me”, Stan’s breath on her bare shoulders caused her to jerk back to reality.“Look at me, Carissa”, he ordered, with his hands on her waist trailing towards her bare back as though he were driving towards pulling down her zip.“What do you think you are doing?” A wide-eyed Carissa asked, suddenly freezing in shock.“I’m doing something I’ve missed”, Stan replied, caressing her back with his fingers, just as the dance continued.At this point, Carissa felt extremely uncomfortable as she dreaded getting caught by Ethan.She had known Ethan for a little while, but she could swear that he would never take it lightly with Stan.“You can’t do anything strange here. People are here and Ethan is there as well”, Carissa said as she swallowed hard and darted her eyes towards Ethan, who was lost in the dance se
“What? Me?” Carissa asked in shock the moment she found everyone’s eyes attached to her.“Come forward beautiful lady”, The man on the microphone went further, after which an uproar of applaud rented the air.“Oh God!” Carissa cursed under her breath, timidly making her way to the front of the podium.She was a quiet and simple girl who hardly loved attention. At such, it was quite difficult to walk firmly with the eyes of many people on her.Most times, she wondered how she would be able to cope with Ethan as the wife of the billionaire.The numerous paparazzi and attention from individuals of the society was something she was yet to prepare her heart for.She darted her eyes to the far end of the crowd where Kiara was cheering on to her, clearly in the spirit of excitement.Carissa’s face fell the moment her eyes shifted to Stan, whose hands were wrapped around Kiara’s shoulders.It was obvious that he was uncomfortable. He had beads of sweats on his forehead and with every second t
Stan froze the moment his eyes met that of Ethan and Carissa. The two appeared so admirable as they held hands together and smiled at intervals.He could feel his blood boiling in rage that for a minute, he thought of approaching Ethan to give him the beating of his life.However, despite how much he wished to do that, he knew that it would only mean trouble for him.“I think I know him”, Kiara noted as she pulled Stan, who was trying so hard to resist her grip.“What do you think you’re doing?” “We should go say hi to them. His father is a friend of mine, and we had dinner together some time ago”, Kiara explained as she walked towards them, with Stan strolling beside her.Stan was in a fix and at that point, he couldn’t think of anything else apart from doing as she pleased.“Ethan?” Kiara called out in elation as Ethan quickly lifted his head to stare at her.Carissa did the same almost immediately, clearly curious to know who it was that called Ethan’s name with such excitement.H
“Babe! We are here!” Kiara squealed in excitement the moment the car drove closer to a park that was clearly booming with a series of activities.Stan’s head was tilted to the side of the window, clearly uninterested in what Kiara had just uttered.He was in the worst phase of his life and there didn’t seem to be a way out of it.“Babe!” Kiara’s voice came up again, jolting him out of his thoughts.“Are you okay?”“Yes! Sure”, Stan replied and came off the car, staring at the inscription on the entrance that said-couple’s fun fair”.A deep sigh escaped his lips as he suddenly became exhausted.“We are not a couple yet”.“Of course we are! Aren’t we getting married soon?” Kiara said in elation as she pulled Stan towards the entrance.Stan was extremely pissed, but he knew better than to show that to Kiara. She would get sad and quickly call her father to report him.That was one thing he couldn’t keep up with Kiara, her clingy and unnecessarily childish attitude.He was unable to blame
Loud chatters and music enveloped the atmosphere, with different couples clinging unto each other and whispering sweet, inaudible words into their ears.Carissa came off the car and smiled at Ethan, who stretched out his hands for her to cling on.“Enjoy the day with your husband to be”, Carissa said to herself as she walked towards Ethan, who appeared to be extremely fulfilled and elated.They slowly trudged into the field, clearly amazed by the number of people that were present.“I had no idea that it was going to be this huge!” Ethan confessed, with a glimpse of pleasure in his eyes.The past few days had been quite rough for him. Trying so hard to live in a house that now had the presence of a stranger was the most difficult thing he could ever think or imagine.“I saw the news about your father having another son”, Carissa noted, peering into his worried eyes and caressing his hands lightly.She was trying so hard to act normal and behave in the way and manner a wife is meant to
“You won’t dare talk to me as though I’m a child! I’m still your father and if you push me to the edge of the wall, you won’t be excited by the outcome!” Mr. Philip bellowed angrily as he took slow steps towards Ethan, who had turned mute.“He is my son, and so many things made me confirm that! He showed me the picture of his mother too”, he yelled and clenched his fist in fury.“You mean the picture of your whore? The bitch you fucked around when you were supposed to be with my mother?” Ethan asked, without a glint of remorse in his expression.“That whore gave me a son and that son is still my blood!” Mr. Philip chimed in.Richard, who had been watching them suddenly, stood up and broke into loud laughter.“This is funny, but then, I didn’t find the part where you called my mum a whore funny. But then, the argument going on between you two is quite interesting!” He said and picked up a glass of wine which he gulped down hurriedly.“Sit down like the bastard you are!” Ethan growled.
Ethan slowly walked into the dining room, with a massive scowl on his face, and ignoring the greetings coming from the maid and housekeepers.“You came down late”, Mr. Philip said, with an obvious look of dissatisfaction on his face.Ethan ignored him and shot a dead glare at his brother, who was smirking at him and making funny gestures.“Apologize!” Mr. Philip yelled angrily, causing Ethan to jolt off his thoughts.Ethan shrugged, with his fists clenched and his heart thumping rapidly.He felt totally embarrassed, but knew that he had to succumb to what his father ordered.“I was busy with some things, I apologize for keeping you”, he muttered and took in a deep breath.Almost immediately, he heard the sound of someone munching on something hurriedly and lifting his head up, he saw his brother chewing on a piece of chicken that barely fitted into his mouth.“What the hell! Must you show us that you’ve been starving all these while?” Ethan said, raising his nose in disgust.“Ethan, be
Ethan got back into his room and took his clothes off. He took a quick shower, after which he poured himself a glass of alcohol.Just then, he heard a knock on the door and almost immediately, the door knob turned to reveal a young man who seemed to be younger to Ethan with a year or thereabout.“Who the hell are you?” Ethan asked as he stared at him intently.“Well, that can wait for another time. Actually, I’m here to take a tour at my father’s house”, the young man explained and chuckled calmly.His eyes darted to the bottle of alcohol that Ethan drank from.“I guess they missed out the part of my brother being an alcoholic”, he said with a wide grin, causing Ethan’s face to turn red in rage.“One more word from you and I would send you to your early grave!” Ethan threatened as he stood to his feet and took slow steps towards him.“Easy brother! It is not your intention to hurt me before my official introduction”, the young man said with a wide smile that pierced right into Ethan’s
