Jones POVThe day is here already. My freaking wedding day. My tie is giving me a hard time to fix.Here I am preparing to walk down the aisle with a total stranger. Can my life be any better?.I can't believe this shit is happening. Am about to go into a pit and my parents are doing nothing about it. Instead they are busy trying to make it a big wedding.Come to think of it, why would people in their right senses make their only son marry a nobody?I managed to get some information about the girl am getting married to. She is a total nobody. High school drop out and a fish seller.Are my parents insane? What is wrong with parents nowadays?To worsen it, she is eighteen. Am getting married to a novice. Tell me how am I supposed to live with her? A teenager for that fact. There is a huge age gap between us how are we going to understand each other?This is absurd.She is definately no match with Ruby. Gosh Ruby. I miss her like hell. She isn't picking my calls. I have gone to her house
Jones POVThere goes the wedding bells, ringing down my heart as I stood at the altar facing the priest. Am about to be joined with total stranger. How did I get here exactly? Of course...My parents.They were just seated there with bright smiles on there faces. How is it that they are happy that their only son is about to marry a nobody?What exactly made them think that she is the one for me? Did she cast them on a spell or something?Well, girls this days will do anything just to get married to a young, rich and handsome man like me.My heart tensed at the sound of the opening church doors and the bridal match song. I didn't turn around to see my 'bride', match forward but I knew she was approaching.Even though I imagined it to be Ruby, the reality of things hit me. It wasn't her but someone else. I promised Ruby that I was hers and hers alone but I have broken that promise.The thought of that weakens me. Am getting married to someone else not my Ruby. God I wish she could come
Elma's POV"Welcome to your room ma'am" a maid said as she placed my bags to the huge closet. "Thanks" I walked into the room, Jones'room. It was as huge as the living room. It has a king size bed with blue mattress and nice pillows. Some had his picture on it. It was very nice.There was three white couches and a glass table at the center. His room was full of style. Two huge pictures of him, one he was on a black long suit. It almost looked like those long robes wizards normally wear but his was perfect.While the other, he was on a blue tux and black bow tie. His hair was relaxed to the back and it was shinny black. He has his hands inside his pocket and his eyes was facing else where. He sure does know how to pose. He looked so much like a model. I still can't believe he is my husband."Ma'am?" She tapped me a little. I guess I was drooling at the sight before me that I didn't know she was talking to me."Yes?"."I asked if there is anything I could do for you?""Oh.. no I'll unp
Ruby's POVI woke up to the sound of my alarm. Damn it was morning already. My eyes were recovering from the deep sleep I had last night. I realized that I was in my room. How did I get here? Did I....I noticed someone's hand was on me. Did I come back home with someone? Of course not. The last time I came back home with a random guy was a very long time ago. I wasn't dating Jones then. But who the hell... I froze when I saw the familiar person sleeping beside me. It was Jones. What the hell was he doing here?Did he..? I looked under the sheets and I saw that I was still on my clothes. Of course he didn't touch me. Jones doesn't touch you when you are in a wasted condition. I knew that. But I knew how persuasive I could be when am drunk. I get horny at times. But Jones, he maintains his stand.But I wasn't happy with him. What was he doing here? Last night I went to the bar. I had company, two or three, i can't remember exactly. I drank a lot. Am sure I had eight or more shots with
Jones' POV"Am on my way mother quit yelling at me already" I cut the call on her. She is never going to stop driving me.My eyes were focused on the road as I drive to my damn home. My home occupied by a teenage stranger. What is with you Jones? You let your parents especially your mum live your life for you. Now see where it has brought you.Ruby definately hates me. She has kicked me out of her life. God the pain in her eyes were causing an agonizing pain in my heart. How did this happen?No we can't just end like this. I freaking love her. I'll continue trying.As for that teenage low class girl, am going to make her life a living hell. She better keep a distance or else she'll regret it.Now that I have done what my parents want me to do, they will have to respect my decisions from now on. If not there will be consequences. I won't let them live my life for me anymore.I meant it when I said, I married her for my parents. She is not my wife. So I will treat her like a total stran
Jones' POVIt was so real. Like something important was leaving me. Something I can't live without. Something, Someone. It was Ruby. She leaving me was doing terrible things to my body. It was making me shiver and sob.After all my pleadings she still left me. Why did she do that to me? I love her. I was going through a cold pain, suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. It made me calm. The pain I was feeling began to disappear slowly. I felt relaxed. I felt fine.My eyes opened slowly and I saw someone close to me. I couldn't see the person clearly but it was a woman. She was looking at me with so much concern. Only one person looked at me that way.That person... "Ruby".she came back. She finally came back to me.I carried myself from the bed a bit and pressed my lips on hers.I furrowed my eyes a bit while kissing her. It felt different. Before I could realize what I have done, she pulled away. That snapped me out my trance. Yes I was in trance.My eyes widened at the sight of her
Elma's POVI woke up in a white room, the sound of the beeping monitor made me realize that was in an hospital. Everything that happened came back to me. The fire, my heart racing and the possibility that I was going to burn down the house.I passed out because of it. I have never seen anything like that before. And i flinch whenever the picture of the fire came to my head. It was terrible. Almost like a bomb. Am thankful that I didn't burn the house if not, only God knows. Jones will automatically send me to jail without hesitation.Mum will hate me and so will Chief. My family will be kicked out to the streets. Then my worse nightmare will come true.I sat up slowly as I wince to the pain of my arm. Jones' tight grip. I wonder why it was still burning. My two hands massaged the parts and I saw that it was still red. Great.The door opened slowly revealing Mum looking at her phone. It was like she had finished answering a call. Was it Jones called? I doubt that he will be a little co
I got back home quite late after my meeting with Ruby. We spent hours together, chatting and making out. I enjoyed every bit of the moment we shared except for the kissing part.I still don't understand why I felt nothing when we kissed. That spark wasn't there anymore and it upsets me. Maybe its because we haven't kissed for while now or.....? Yeah that's the reason.I entered the house, about to climb the stairs when I noticed something from the corner of my eye. I turned to the living room and there... Mum and Dad were staring at me."Geez folks what's up with the creepy shit?" I sighed"Language Jones"mum said as she gestured me to come over thereI walked towards them nonchalantly. "Why are you both still awake?" I asked"Where are you coming from son?" Dad asked looking at me straight in the eyes.I scoffed. "Really? What am i? A teenage boy?""Mind your tongue Jones" Mum spoke upI sighed."I went to the office." I answeredHe stared at me for some moment, I knew I was provokin
