Edrick’s POV

I didn’t know what the hell came over me last night.

One minute, she was yelling at me with tears in her eyes, and the next, I was pulling her into my arms like it actually mattered. I hated that. I hated that I couldn’t watch her cry without something twisting inside my chest.

Aria Vale. The woman I was forced to marry. The woman whose name alone reminded me of everything I’d lost.

But when she broke down like that, something inside me shifted. Maybe it was because we’d been livin

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    chaos

    “Not here. In Mommy’s room,” Jaime said.My heart stopped.My eyes shifted to Alina.She was still sitting on the bed, her expression unreadable. But I knew that look.She was hurt.“Jaime…” I started.“Please, Daddy.”His fingers tightened around the teddy bear.I looked at Alina again.She forced a smile.“Go with him.”“Alina—”“It’s okay, Edrick.”But it wasn’t.I knew it wasn’t.I looked at Jaime. His eyes were filling with tears.I took a deep breath, then faced Alina.“Sorry,” I mouthed before following Jaime down the hall to Aria’s bedroom.I had made sure our new room was far from hers, just so it wouldn’t bother Alina.And now, I could only wonder what she felt knowing I’d be spending the night here.Jaime pushed the door open.A cold silence welcomed us.The bed was laid, the floors were cleaned, and all her makeup, perfume, and stuff were neatly arranged on the vanity. It felt like she still lived here, and that alone made my hair stand on end.Jaime let go of my hand when

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Rejected

    Alina's POV"Edrick!" Mr. Vale's voice broke my train of thoughts.My head snapped to the door where he stood, all frowns and disgust."Grandpa!" Jaime rushed to give him a hug.He tapped the boy's head, a smile appearing on his face.Then he turned back to me and Edrick, his frown returning."We need to talk," he said.For a moment, I thought he was talking to me. I wanted to ask, "Why?"But Edrick stepped forward."I'll be back in a second," he whispered to me before following his father out of the kitchen.I watched until they were out of view before my attention returned to the kids.They had finished their meals.I took a bowl and put the soup for Clover."Jaime, do you want chicken soup?" I asked, making sure I had a bright smile."No, thank you!" He shook his head."Mommy, Jaime and I want to play in the gardens.""Clover, I don't think...""...Please, Mommy, I won't jump or play rough." She pouted.I sighed.Well, she does need some sunlight on her skin."Alright." I turned th

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Not Mine

    Edrick’s POV“But, Daddy…”His sad eyes met mine. “Why did she leave? Did I do something…”“...No, son, no. Your mommy just has other things to attend to.” I swallowed.“So, she still loves me?” he asked.“Of course she does!” I forced a smile. It made him smile a bit.I am such a fool. Such a fool for not thinking about this part. I have never paid much attention to the closeness between Aria and Jaime. If I had, I would have known he’d miss her so much.“So, when will she be back?” he asked. With the way he looked at me, I knew my answer would determine whether or not he would feel better.“Soon, son. Soon. Before you know it.”He nodded, then leaned back a bit.“That’s good.” A smile appeared on his face.It wasn’t as bright as the one he had earlier, but it was something.“I also want a snack,” he said, standing up.“Okay,” I said. “Go get some from your nanny.”He started running for the door.Something twisted in my chest.“Wait,” I called.He stopped just as he was about to clo

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Mother

    Edrick’s POV.“We are going to get through this,” I said, giving Alina’s hands a squeeze.She nodded. I also didn’t have much to say, so we stepped out of the car.I could feel her energy shift the moment we stepped into the Vale mansion.Her body tensed, and her face creased.“I’ll go check on Clover,” she said, aiming for the stairs.“Let’s go.” I followed.The closer we got, the more I noticed the door was a bit open.Alina stopped for half a second.So did I.We exchanged knowing looks.That door was closed before we left. I was sure of it. I had closed it myself.Our pace quickened.Who opened it?Alina practically began to run. I followed suit.Her hands reached for the door, pushing it open completely.Then she froze.I leaned in to see.The breath I was holding finally got released.Clover was sitting up in bed, looking tired and pale, but awake. My chest loosened at the sight. After everything she had endured, seeing her sitting there felt like a miracle.She held a blue toy

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    But she's Dead...

    ARIA’S POV.I watched Liana and my husband’s retreating backs, their hands entwined, how he carefully led her out like she was the most precious thing he owned.And worse, how he did not even bother to look back at me.Not once.I wanted to throw something at them.At her.Anything. An object sharp enough to cause bleeding. A broken bottle.I wanted a gun, to blow her head off.He’s my husband! Mine!The headaches were coming back.I pinned my hand to the side of my head, as if it would press the pain down.“Ow.”It was back. The headache was back.No. Not just back.It was tearing through my skull.It was back, and this time, it felt like it was here to finally take me.I wanted to scream, to let the pain out.But I could hear the nurse’s voice at the back of my mind.“Don’t you dare scream! I’ll give you another shot.” Just right before she injects me with that painfully numbing medicine.The one that kills my body and allows the pain to roam freely.It didn’t stop the pain.It neve

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    The Past isn't Dead

    Alina’s POVMy hands gripped Edrick’s as tightly as they could.I still could not tell what she was doing. Was she messing with us? Or is she really in a messed-up state herself?“Aria.” I sighed. “You can ignore us all you want. But nothing, and I mean nothing, is going to save you. This is the end.”Her smile grew wider, just by an inch.Did she not know how much trouble she’s in? There is no saving her.Or maybe she did not want to be saved.The more I stared at her, the more that twisting feeling in my gut intensified.She’ll pay. She’ll pay for what she did to me and Clover, and she would regret ever touching my daughter.“Since you refuse to speak, that is all,” I said, turning to Edrick.We should leave and let the cops do their jobs.Edrick shook his head, then stood.I stood to my feet, hands still clutching him.Aria looked up, her eyes settled on our intertwined hands.She gulped, and for the first time since we stepped in, an emotion flashed through her eyes.Hurt.Her gaz

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Trap

    Alina’s POVI practically ran into the club.My lungs burned, my head still slightly heavy from the fever, but I forced myself forward. The bass was already thundering through the walls. I slipped behind the counter just as my boss turned around.“You’re late,” he barked.“I’m sorry,” I said quickl

    Aria’s POVI did not stop running until I reached the part of the house where I could crashout in peace. The library.No one ever comes here. The door slammed shut behind me, but it did nothing to quiet the noise in my head. My chest rose and fell too fast, anger and humiliation burning through me

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Her Tears

    Edrick’s POVShe was shaking so hard I thought she might break in my arms. And for some reason, it felt like I was the one falling apart. My chest tightened with every sob that escaped her lips, and I held her closer, like maybe if I held on tight enough, I could stop her pain from spilling any fur
