Edrick’s POV

Danger.

The word echoed in my mind.

I forced my face to remain composed.

“I’ll get to the bottom of this,” I said firmly. “I promise you.”

But beneath my controlled tone, panic was clawing its way through me.

She could be fine.

She could have changed her mind.

She could be hiding somewhere, determined to cut all ties.

Or…

She could be in real danger.

Leonardo’s face flashed in my mind.

I straightened.

“Take me to the station.”

The train station was crowded as usual, people moving

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Weird

    Edrick's POVShe was still trembling.And no, I do not mean Aria whose father was in the ICU.I meant Liana, the lady who was hearing of Aria's family for the first time in her life.Was she just an empath? But how deep can empathy run? She looked completely worked up. At the hall ways while we waited for Aria and Mrs. Dawson, she looked as if she was forcing herself to stay put. As if she was fighting not to race into the ICU.And now, as we drove back home, she has her palms between her legs to stop them from shaking. Her face, pale. Everything seemed wrong with her. She looked even more worried than Aria.Why?Why was she so bothered."It's oaky, he will be fine." I said as we made a turn to Liana's street. At this point, I didn't even know who I was consoling. It seemed they both needed it."Thank you for tonight Liana," Aria said, when we parked in front of the big apartment building."That's what friends are for." Liana practically forced the words out before stepping out.As we

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Empath

    ALINA'S POVEveryone paused their panics and gave me strange looks. I knew I shouldn't have said I wanted to come too. But I could not help myself."I mean, I feel like, Aria is so devastated and would need support." I hoped my excuse sounded right and not stupid. ''Oh, Liana, you don't have to stress yourself." Aria reached out to tap my shoulder. "I insist. And I can just go home from there." "Alright then, can we stop the time wasting now?" I could not tell if Edrick was suspicious or just pissed as he chirped in. Either way, It did not matter at the moment. We hopped into the car and drove silently to the hosopital. I tried my best to not panic or act out of place. I neded to act normal. All my resolve broke when we got to the hallway and stumbled across mom. Hair disheveled and tears streaming down her cheeks. I haven't seen this woman in almost seven years, and now that I see her, I did not know what to feel. "Mom," Aria ran to hug her while I stood aside. Why was I fee

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Accident

    ALINA'S POVI stood by the sink and washed my face for the tenth time. I did not care that all my make up was now smudgy and ugly. I just wanted to wash the anxiety away.From being sad for Grandma Vale to being scared she was about to reveal my identity. "Saying trash again." That was what Aria had said. The woman says things, but why did it have to be so accurate with me? A few minutes passed and I realized it would start looking odd if I don't go back to the table. So, I washed my face one last time, clearing the remaining make up.As I walked towards the dining area, my minfd was fixed on getting a suitable excuse to get out of this dinner without raising suspicion. I was so lost in my thoughts I did not notice when I bumped into someone. Hard and strong. I did not need to look up to know it was Edrick. I waited for him to call me clumsy as usual. But instead, he asked. "What are you doing here?" I raised a brow. "Came for dinner. Can't you see?"His eyes raked over my bo

  • 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

    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

    Edrick’s POVTwo dates a week. Flowers every night. No staying late at the office. No excuses. No distractions.I was doing everything right, or at least everything a man in my position was supposed to do. On paper, I looked like the perfect husband. Attentive. Present. Trying.

    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. Shame clung to my skin the same way the evening heat did, sticky, suffocating, impossi
