Alina’s POV

Aria’s name kept flashing on my screen.

Over and over.

I just stared at it, frozen, unable to move. My thumb hovered over the answer button, but it felt like my whole body refused to pick. My chest tightened, my stomach twisted, and this cold rush went through me.

I could not speak to her.

Not right now.

I was too scared of what she would say.

Or worse… what she wanted from me.

The phone kept ringing.

I let it ring until it stopped.

Then I pressed the power button and switched the p

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Sad

    Alina's POVI was starting to regret my decision. Hell, I regretted it the moment I stepped out of the fashion house three days ago. After I told Aria we can be friends. I am not sure what friendship means to her, judging from the type of person she is, it's probably something very dark. But now, as I stared at my phone ringing with her caller ID boldly written on the screen. My regret started becoming curiousity, and a little bit of hope. May be it was not aa bad idea. "Hey Liana!" She squealed like a teen. "Aria, whats up." "Oh, nothing much! Just that, we havcen't met since tuesday. So, I was thinking , if you don't have plans tonight, you can join us for dinner at the Vale Mansion." Dinner, Vale Mansion. I haven't step foot in that building since the day Aria exposed me, called me a liar and made me the villian. How am I even tolerating this bitch? That's it, she deserves to be exposed. For all she had done to me. "I'll be there." I said. And I was there right on ti

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Friends?

    Alina's Pov.Annoying. That is the only way I could explain how Aria's voice was sounding in my head. She kept talking about shit like "Oh, I hope Edrick wasn't bothering you," Blah blah blah. No bitch, he was not bothering me. Infact, he just caused me a heartache that I know might end me. What's worse? He made me feel again. Yes. Edrick sittiing here, spiitting how much my death hurt him, how he still was hurting, how he believed it was his fault. That was enough to make my heart beat again. "Liana?" Aria tapped my shoulder, and I snapped out of my thoughts. "Sorry." I said, taking my seat. "How may I help you, Mrs Vale?" "Oh, nonsense," Aria sat beside me. "Call me Aria. The whole Mrs Vale title is too formal, don't you think?" She chuckled. "Oh, okay. So how may I help you?" "Well, Liana, It's nothing much. Just about the stuff we discussed at the Gala.""The job?" I almost rolled my eyes. "I already told you we are not...""I know, I know." She cut in. "You aren't h

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Soothe

    EDRICK'S POV."Edrick," I did not know when Liana left her seat, her sketch pad and all and sat beside me.Her hands tapped my back softly.But I was too ashamed to look at her.What have I done? Came here spilling my business to a total stranger.spilling words i have never let myself say out loud before. Words I thought I would never be brave enough to spit out.All to a lady I did not even trust at all."It's okay Edrick," she rubbed my back softly."You cannot just blame yourself for whatever it is that happened to Alina. I am sure she would not want you to do that."Oh she has no idea."The thing is I failed. Whether A lina blamed me or not, I failed. I failed her, I failed myself. And because I hadn't acted fast enough, I let her die. I let her dreams and everything she could have become die.""You did your best. That is what matters the most."I took a deep breath."Thank you, Liana." I could not believe I was saying this.But talking to her made me feel a thousand times better

    Alina's PovChaos. A Jumble. A mess.That is what the days after the gala became for me. I had a lot on my plate. too much, if you ask me.First, I got an apartment. We cannot be staying in a hotel for the rest of our lives. Not that I plan on staying here for that long."Six months to a year." I mentally promised. it should be enough to get things flowing here. Once my business becomes stable, the wisest option is to leave and visit once in a while.The apartment I got was not out right luxury. it was comfortable. two rooms, a living room, a nice balcony view and a safe enviroment for my daughter. That was all that mattered.With that settled, I moved to the next big issue. School.Clover cannot be staying at home all day with her babysitter. I asked around for the best schools and was referred to a nice one not too far from our quiet enviroment.Again, perfect.With everything in place, my morning routine was always just, cooking, getting dressed, dropping Clover at school and going

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    What on earth

    ALINA'S POV.“And I tell you uncle, it's a great path…” Hannah kept blabbering to her uncle about some investment deals.I kept zoning out. I know designs l. That's all. I find all these money business talks quite boring and complicated. My eyes searched the space subconsciously. Subconsciously for someone I shouldn’t be looking for. Edrick.He still wasn't back from whatever errand it is that Aria sent him on. Speaking of Aria, I wonder where she went. She left with Anna. Even though I hate her presence, hearing her beg to be part of my business was quite fulfilling. “I need to use the restroom.” I lied, standing up. I was sick of the business talks. And I didn't want them to notice I wasn't making any contributions..I stood up and walked around the tables. People were seated, eating, drinking, conversing. It was lively. But not the lousy type of lively. It was the rich, sophisticated type of lively. I walked to the punch table and grabbed a glass.“Careful, we don't wa

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    SECRETS

    ARIA’S POV“It’s alright. I forgive your ignorance.” Liana Bennet said.Ignorance? Did she just call me ignorant just because I said she worked under Edrick? Isn’t that true?It is. My husband’s company funded that large fashion house they are using. She should be grateful I was offering to work for them. My name will take her company from zero to ten! She should be begging me to work with her. But this woman was not just talented. She had pure burning ego. And that alone made her qualified to associate with me.“Thank you, Liana.” I forced a smile. She’s lucky she is an icon and I desperately want to be part of her fashion empire. Bitch.“So you are going to take auditions? You?” Anna scoffed from her side of the table. I felt like reaching out and smacking her across the face.“You should stick to staying at home. You know, doing that stuff you did uhm, was it six? No, seven years ago?” She said so casually.My stomach dropped. Sweat beads formed on my forehead.She knows. She

    ALINA’S POVI still couldn’t believe she drove all the way to come pick me up. For real.I followed Lila without a word, my footsteps light, almost apologetic, like I was afraid the ground itself might reject me.
