Edrick’s POV

I was only a few steps behind Aria when Hannah’s voice drifted from the landing above us.

“There she is. Aria, you have guests.”

Aria stopped mid-step.

Not slowed, stopped.

Like her body forgot how to move. Her fingers loosened from the railing, and for a second, I thought she might topple backward.

I quickened my pace, closing the distance, but the moment I stepped beside her, the reason for her sudden freeze punched the breath out of me.

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Blade Against my Skin

    Aria’s POVI spent the rest of the evening avoiding the girl with the dagger.I didn't know what else to call her. That was all I knew about her: the girl with the dagger.Who walked around in prison with a dagger? Even Kansas, who was a bully and sometimes got a whip, wasn't free enough to have a dagger in here.Who was she?She had just moved in, yet she looked like she wasn't scared of anything.And that smile. That smile she gave me was... creepy. It scared me.Forget the smile and the knife. Why wasn't she staring at anyone else? Why was it always me?Or maybe I was just imagining things."Dinner time, Aria. Aren't you coming?" one of my roommates, Maya, asked.Of all three of them, she was the only one who managed to talk to me once in a while. She was less mean than the others, and although they'd reduced the bullying, they still treated me like some outsider who disgusted them.Baby murderer, they called me.So they did their best to avoid talking to me.But Maya had been quit

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    The Girl with the Dagger

    Aria's POV It was Thursday afternoon. Tomorrow would make it three days since Mom visited, and hopefully, she would come again tomorrow.I really needed to get out of here, especially with this bastards making me pay the price for the little freedom I had. They are just jealous of me. I walked to lunch as usual, keeping quiet and ignoring everyone. I hoped I wouldn't be noticed, or that Kansas would be busy bullying someone else instead of me. Anything, anything at all to take her eyes off me, I would gladly take.I sat down.Today's lunch wasn't that bad: bread with a little bit of turkey that tasted like shit, and noodles on the side. Honestly, it wasn't bad. It was one of the best lunches yet.I put my plate down and began eating. The faster I ate, the less chance Kansas would have of bullying me and snatching my food.As I ate, I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching me. I could feel eyes on me.Normally, the others avoided me because they believed being friends

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    The Bougie, the Snarky

    Alina’s POVImmediately I got to the hall, I was welcomed by guests and escorted to the high table, where I was given a seat in the middle.This really was true. I really was going to be the leader.I couldn't shake the feeling. My... my... I couldn't even explain it. I didn't know how to feel about it.The DFF Foundation. A foundation for women, providing them with aid and meeting their needs. This should be one of my favorite foundations because it was actually giving back to society. I guess rich people weren't as bad as I thought.I sat down, and soon the hall filled up.l. It was a relatively small meeting attended by women married into wealthy families, daughters of wealthy families, wives of celebrities, female celebrities themselves, and big business entrepreneurs. Everyone rich and classy was there.We sat down, making small talk. I met the lady who had invited me, Belinda. She was polite, and her rude friend didn't say much to me, so it was a good experience until..."And wha

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Price of a Vacation

    Aria’s POV"Weren't you so happy about your little vacation?"I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream.I was kneeling in the middle of the lunchroom as that short-ass lady who always bullied me, Kansas, stood over me. She had a whip raised high. My shirt was pulled up, and she was whipping my bare back.I didn't know how an inmate had access to a whip or why the guards were suddenly acting blind and dumb. But I put my head down. I just had to keep taking it."Tell me. How was the little vacation?""Fine," I said between grunts."Hmm. You enjoyed going a whole day without us, didn't you?"I bit my lips. I wanted to say yes. Yes, it was so fucking good, and I wished I didn't have to come back here. But I didn't dare."No." My lips trembled."Liar!"She whipped me again."Tell me. How good was it going out of jail and feeling the wind in your hair?"I shook my head."It was terrible.""Liar!"She whipped me even harder."I've been in this dirty place for over ten years, and not once have I e

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    The Unease and Suspicions

    Edrick’s POV"What the actual?" Alina said. "What is she doing there?""I don't know," I answered.She followed the stairs on the left while we took the stairs on the right. As she began coming down, Alina and I followed."Mom," Alina called when she reached her.Her mother stopped and turned to look at us."Where did you go? I thought you were here to stay with Jamie," Alina fired.She was angry but also confused."Yes, I did, but I just... I'm sorry, Alina. I just received a call. I need to go right now," she said, her eyes filling with tears. More crocodile tears."No, wait." Alina followed her, but the woman was already heading towards the door.I looked at her. I couldn't deal with this. Why was she with Dad?I turned towards the stairs she had just come down from and started making my way to my dad's study.Just as I opened the door, I saw him sitting by the table, watching videos on his phone."You know you should knock before entering," he said, looking up."What was that woma

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Intruder in his Study

    Edric’s POVI felt my blood boil as Mrs. Dawson walked into the house with Jamie, clutching her hand tightly as if she were the savior he'd been waiting for.He was excited to see her, and I didn't blame him. She was his mother's mother, and he'd always known her.But I wished there were a way I could erase her from his life completely.And yes, maybe there was a way.“I'm going to update the guards,” I said to Alina. “This should be the last time she comes into this house.”I walked past them and headed towards the gate.I wasn't joking. This woman would never step into this house again, especially now that the person who had bribed the judge was still out there. I knew she didn't have the money to bribe the judge herself, but I was a hundred percent sure she had a hand in it. She knew who the culprit is. I reached the gate, where one of the security men stood.“Sir, good day.”“Where's Ralph?” I asked, referring to the chief security officer.“He's at the other gate, sir, checking
