“Your second daughter has to take her place, we can’t postpone the wedding, it is too late.”
My heart sank immediately I heard that statement, Jessica ran away with the man she loves, leaving me to face the brutal consequences of what she has done. She was supposed to marry Diego De’ Luca so he could cancel father’s debt and save his company, but she chose love over family.
Now, the burden has fallen on my shoulder.
“You can’t back away, you signed the agreement and I won’t have you or any member of your family embarrass me, what do I tell people, that the bride ran away?”
“You can’t even put your family to order Mr Ford, how do you want to manage your company if I revive it? The wedding must hold tomorrow, I don’t care if you have to drag your second daughter to the altar. I am done here.”
I gasped as the realization of what was about to happen hit me, I turned around and hid behind a pillar, watching him walk away, I couldn’t even get a look of his face to know what he looks like. I was supposed to be Jessica’s bridesmaid, but now I’m taking her position as a bride.
I came out of my hiding place immediately I sighted my father.
“Father,” I called out.
“Isabella,” he whispered softly.
“My dearest daughter, I am so sorry this is happening, you have to take Jessica’s place.”
“Trust me, if I could stop this, I would have done that. We are already bankrupt and if I don’t do this, we are going down totally.”
“I am so sorry, my precious daughter. If your mom was alive, she would have bitten off my head if she knows what I am about to do with you.”
I couldn’t say a word, I know he has no other choice. I just nodded my head in agreement to a loveless marriage, I just accepted to marry a man that doesn’t meet up to the standard my fictional boyfriends have set, now I will only get to witness love and romance in books and movies.
The type of love I’ve always dreamed of won’t even have a chance with me, falling in love with a man that will love me so much and do crazy things to show he cares about me will be impossible.
If I was told few weeks ago I will be getting married, I would have thought the person was actually crazy. The fact that I will be the one wearing the gown I picked for my sister made me feel disgusted, it was too late to pick something else.
I will be marrying a man that I don’t even know.
Cassian’s point of viewThe ride to the blood kingdom was unbearable for me, every sound irritated me, even my own breathing felt annoying. I kept seeing it over and over again, Athena pinned against the wall with his hands on her.He really forced himself on her, that bastard was capable of doing something like that. But my mind kept twisting everything into something uglier, it was like that image poisoned every thought until nothing feels clean anymore.I leaned my head back and shut my eyes tightly, I was fighting that decision of letting her go, which makes me feel pathetic.The car stopped outside the blood kingdom, before the gates were opened. I heard shouting.“Your highness.” The driver said loudly, I turned to look at the back just in time the car door burst open. Athena climbed inside breathing heavily, her hair was messy, her pajamas looked disheveled.Her eyes were swollen from crying.“Athena?”She slammed the door shut behind her before turning toward me.“You left me.
Cassian’s point of viewBreathing was difficult, the hallway felt too small right now. The voice of Athena calling my name behind me only made the pain I felt worse.“Cassian wait!”I didn’t dare stop, I kept wheeling myself forward. Faster than I probably should, I just need to get out of here. The guards jumped out of my way as I moved through the corridor without looking at anyone.I saw it, that image has refused to leave my head. Her against the wall, his mouth on hers and his disgusting hands on her body. I hated how he touched her, he touched my wife. I was the only one allowed to touch her that way.My head was too damaged to think rationally, I felt sick to the stomach.“Cassian!”I picked my phone and called my driver immediately.“Prepare the car,”“Now,” I ordered.I reached the front entrance just as one of the guards opened the door for me.She finally caught up to me breathing heavily.“Cassian please…..”“Don’t!” I snapped.She stood in front of me, blocking my way.“I
Athena’s point of viewI woke up before sunrise. Cassian was still asleep beside me, with one arm stretched across my side of the bed. He was sleeping peacefully.I hated that I hurt him, the memory of his face last night kept replaying in my head, the disappointment in his eyes still made my heart hurt. For someone that loved me loudly without shame, I am meant to treasure him, instead I made him doubt himself. And I really want to make it up to him.I leaned down carefully and pressed a kiss against his lips.“I’m sorry.” I whispered, he stirred but he didn’t wake.This morning will be the best time to serve him breakfast in bed and afterward, we would talk properly.I slipped out of bed and wore my pajamas shirt and pants before leaving the room.The mansion was still silent this early morning. The kitchen was empty which meant the maids were still asleep. This was truly the perfect time.I moved around quietly, preparing Cassian’s favorite breakfast myself. He always complained ab
Cassian’s point of viewI pretended to be asleep, it was childish and cowardly. But anything to stop further conversations, I didn’t trust myself enough to keep it going without remembering that hesitation when her ex asked if she was happy with me.I could feel her moving around behind me like she wanted to touch me but was scared of my reaction. The bed dipped again then I felt her warm body pressed against my back.“Cassian..” she whispered, I shut my eyes tighter. Her fingers slid over my arm before wrapping around my waist, usually that gesture alone would have me drag her on top of me. But tonight was different.“I know you are awake,” she whispered against my shoulder.I took in a deep breath before opening my eyes. “Congratulations,” I whispered. “You caught me.”She moved closer and pressed a kiss on my lips and on my neck.“Hey,” she whispered again, her hand slid down to my chest and brushed my nipple.She knows how much I loved touching her, feeling her skin against mine a
Bruno’s point of viewShe goes still beneath me, I felt her body relax, that was how I knew she was gone. Sleep took a total hold of her, it dragged her under and her breathing evens out too fast. Her body slacks with exhaustion. I pull back and moved to the edge of the bed, my elbows braced on my
Isabella’s point of viewIt’s been four days, almost a week since I saw him, my husband. He was avoiding me, he hasn’t showed up in our room since he took my virginity, maybe me being a virgin scared him away. I am not a virgin anymore, but him avoiding me makes me feel I have some sort of disease
DiegoCarlos’s body was found in the garden at the east path, he had been left with a crushed skull and a blood stained note flapping in the air, whoever did this wanted it to be personal and loud.I went there myself to take in every detail, his body laid there cold. I took the sight in, letting m
Isabella's point of view There is something peculiar about the night air in the De’ Luca’s mansion, it always carried secrets. Today was different from every other day I’ve spent in this mansion, after the visit to the men’s quarters, it was like I had freedom to do whatever I wanted to do, this w
