Promise

Emma 

After realizing that I just got married to the country's most popular multi-billionaire out of craziness, my mind has been restless, I've not been at peace, I have not even removed my wedding gown, I don't even have any of my belongings here, not even my phone to talk to my parents cause I know they would be worried sick about me right now, but the truth is I don't even want to talk to them at the moment.

I'm so devastated and confused that I don't even know what to think, the fact that my step-sister and fiance betrayed me or the fact that I got married to a stranger who turned out to be the most feared man in the country, which one should I be more worried about,

I refuse to follow Mr. Valmore to his room, I still can't accept the fact that I got married to him out of the blue and he even wants me to settle in his room, why is he even comfortable with all of this, 

Standing on the balcony and gazing at the beautiful city of New York, this was not how I expected my wedding night to turn out, I dreamed of spending my wedding night with the man of my dreams, but it's so crazy I'm here out in the cold, gazing and admiring the stars with a broken heart. I thought I was strong, I promised myself not to cry but how can I not cry when I've lost the only man I cherished the most, my step-sister took him away from me, how could they do this to me?

Why is my case always different? Am I not good enough, why is it that every fucking time I want something, I end up getting the opposite of what I asked for. I asked for a complete family when I was a child but I ended up losing my father. I asked for a sister who would love me but I ended up getting one that hated me to the bone. And then….I asked for a man who would love and cherished me, but then again I got abandoned at the altar, why is my life so complicated, 

"Ahhhhhh…….." I screamed in anger hoping my pains would go away, but no….they are still stuck with me, the look on Charles and Hennesy's faces kept on flashing like a movie, the look of mockery they had on their faces, they planned that wedding just to mock me, Charles planned to disgrace me in front of everybody regardless of how much I loved him 

He broke my heart after persuading me to abort his baby I had in my womb before the wedding. All that was for my stepsister and never for us, he made me kill my innocent child and still abandoned me at the altar, but I won't forgive him so easily, I will make them pay for all they did to me, they must pay…….

I cried bitterly kicking off my heels, I looked at my wedding dress and felt so disgusted that I started tearing it apart, 

I hate you, Charles! I hate you for all you did to me! get away from me I don't want to see you! I hate this dress and everything that comes with you, how could you do this to me! 

Right now I'm completely naked, just in my undergarments, I kept tearing the gown into pieces, all of this was nothing but a lie, all of his promises to me, all of his love was fake, it didn't cost him a thing yet he broke me this way, I hate you, Charles….!

I was trembling, shaking in pain, my voice cracked from screaming, unbearable headache slammed in, I hated myself at the moment, I looked so devastated and broken, I felt so rejected that I wished I could peel off my skin, I hated everything at the moment, I hate that I let Charles take my virginity, I hate that I killed my unborn baby for him, I hated that I was a fool for him, 

"Ahhhhhhhh…..!" I screamed gripping my hair so fucking tight, wishing I would just die!

"Shit! Emma, what are you doing!?" Mr Valmore screamed as he walked in on me, 

"Get away from me" I screamed in tears and coiled myself in a bun, hugging my knees to my chest, I was naked and broken beyond repair, will I ever heal from this pain of betrayal not only from my fiance but from my stepsister, I thought Love was enough, where did I go wrong?

"Emma you have to calm down," Mr Valmore said, trying to get close to me 

"Get away from me all of you men are the same, don't come close to me!" I screamed pointing at him 

"Emma, Emma, Emma….you have to calm down and listen to me okay" He hugged me and whispered into my ear but I fought to push him away, 

"Let me go, you all are a bunch of liars… let me go!" I struggled in his arms but he held me tight patting my hair gently 

"It's alright, it's going to be fine okay, I promise to make them pay for all they did to you I promise" 

"How could they hurt me this much, I gave him my everything, he said he loved me, how could he do this to me?" 

My voice is now calm, I was tired and weak, 

"I want them to pay for all they did to me, I will make them regret their lives"

"I will burn their world, they will not live to regret it" Was the last thing I heard before I slept off.
