PRETTY DUMB OF ME

I waited for Olivia at the dining table that her parents had prepared.

I thought about work as I sat there, and it was able to distract me a bit.

When I saw Olivia, I was awestruck that I did not know when I got up from my seat to have a clearer look at her.

Did Olivia know that she was this beautiful? I placed my hand right above my manhood because it has risen without my permission. It was rising against my will, it made me angry.

Also, I was suddenly jealous of Ryan. How was he able to make Olivia fall in love with him? He must have put her under some kind of spell because he was not worth Olivia's love. It was not like I claimed to be better than Ryan. If it were left for me, I would destroy Olivia because that would make me feel better. But then, she was just too beautiful that it was difficult to continue acting like it was fine to see her with someone else. This was a complicated situation, even for me.

I had to be mean to her one way or the other. Maybe if she hated me more,

  • Her Man   COMPLETE IDIOT

    Olivia's POV Embarrassed could barely describe how I felt. I ran up the stairs and to my room as fast as my legs could take me. This was by far the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me. Have I ever cried in front of a guy? Yes, when my dad had shouted at me when I was a little girl, and a few times in front of Ryan just so he would pamper me. Both men that had seen me cry had not tried to make fun of me. But the record breaker, Alexander, had to be the first to taunt my feelings till I cried. I was embarrassed because usually I had tough skin. But in my defense, this was not my fault because if my parents had not forced me into this cage, I would not be with a man that found it difficult to compliment me, and demanded reasons why he should. I hope they could see from the cameras they had set up all around the house, how stupid it was of them to marry off their daughter to a douchebag. As I wiped the tears away from my red eyes in my room, I relived the moment I cried

  • Her Man   YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

    The next day by 5am, I left the house with some luggage I could take.I did not text Ryan about my sudden move to another state because I did not want to see how sad he would look when I informed him. Besides, I was just going away for a while until I figured out a way to escape the marriage. My plan was to inform everyone about my whereabouts after my supposed wedding date.I called a random taxi, and was picked up in a few minutes. On a normal day, I would have called my personal driver to pick me up. But I did not want my Parents, Alexander or anyone else to know where I was going. After all, my plan was to disappear for a while.The taxi’s meter ticked, and I felt very uncomfortable. My stomach churned, a frantic butterfly trapped in a cage of ribs. Had I made a terrible mistake? Leaving like this, in the dead of night, felt reckless, impulsive. But the alternative – staying, suffocating under the weight of my unspoken resentments towards my Parents’s suffocating expectations – f

  • Her Man   MAFIA OR CULT

    Ryan's POVRich people always think they can do whatever they like with people's lives without facing the consequences of things. But I do believe that a person who commits a crime must face the consequences of his or her actions. I do believe that the Universe returns whatever a person did right back to him or her. Sometimes karma did work, but other times when karma decided not to work, I made sure to put it in my to-do list to get revenge on the people who decided to mess with me. I did not care who it was regardless of their background, I always made sure to do something hurtful today whether it cost me something or not.This was the case for Alexander. We attended the same high school, Ashhillton High School. It was a school for the elite, but luckily, I was able to secure a scholarship to attend. But the kids from a wealthy background always took the opportunity to bully me because they knew I was not from an equally wealthy home. It was not that I was from a poor home, my parent

  • Her Man   MY PLAN

    Alexander was unreachable after high school. I had no idea where he went, but I never forgave or forgot what he did to me, what he did to Jayla. I promised myself that even if it ended up being in another universe, I was going to get my revenge on Alexander.I was able to complete my high school and go into University. After a few years of my stay there studying medicine, I met a beautiful young lady, Olivia. At times, beautiful could not properly describe Olivia.I began to develop sexual feelings for her. She was the first person that I ever had feelings for since Jayla. Since Jayla had betrayed me, I never took deep interest in anyone. I focused on myself, working hard at my studies, working out at the gym, eating and sleeping well. I had grown into a handsome man. As my manly features became more defined, I no longer looked like a nerd. I still appeared serious, but my appearance had changed. I even stopped wearing glasses and was fine without them.I did not have too many girls

Everything was happening so fast, and I tried my best to calm down so that I could think. I knew Olivia's parents were never going to let me marry Olivia. Also, I did not want to get married to Olivia. I wanted to use her to get my revenge. Then, why did I feel a pang in my chest when she made her announcement. This was supposed to be an act, but I felt something real. A genuine jealousy. But I pushed the feeling aside, my face red with anger. I was angry because it was Alexander again. This was the second time that someone really liked me, and Alexander suddenly came into the picture. Would Olivia do the same thing that Jayla did to me? Would she fall in love with Alexander?Oh no!

    Alexander's POV Olivia's cries haunted me no matter how nonchalant I tried to behave.My dad had called me later that night to tell me to tell me that he was upset that I was behaving like a child. Apparently, Olivia's parents had truly been watching us through the cameras, and I made their daughter cry. They had obviously reported my actions to my dad.“Alexander, your mother told me what happened. Making Olivia cry was unacceptable”, he said.That was so like my mum. She could not talk to me directly. She did not have a mind of her own. I disliked the way she told dad everything. It was as though she knew she could not handle it herself. It was true, but still I disliked it. “But Dad, she—”, I tried defending, but was interrupted. “No buts, Alexander. Olivia's parents called. They were very upset. You were rude, and you refused to apologize. Is this your grand plan to disobey me?”, he asked, his tone so low it almost terrified me.“I didn't mean to make her cry. It was just… a

    Olivia's POV Did I make a mistake? Should I have followed Alexander to his apartment to get dressed for the masquerade ball? I had no idea if my decision to follow him there was a good decision, but I was going to find out. I did not want to go to my parents house, and Alexander had agreed not to tell them that I planned to run away from home. I was a pretty independent woman, so I knew that my parents would not notice that I was away for a day. Even if they noticed, they would likely think that I was out doing my normal business.I followed Alexander to his mighty mansion, and my jaw dropped. It was so difficult to pick my jaw up from the floor even after trying not to seem too surprised.The mansion was different from the first one that I had visited with Mia. This one must have been designed by the architects who designed the castles in Disney movies. It was as if I was in a dream. I had been to many wealthy homes, but never had I encountered a mansion so captivating, so artistic.

    I could not recognise myself in the mirror when Jade was done with me.Jade was truly a fashionista and had outdone herself. The midnight-blue gown she chose for me was breathtaking. Alexander must have given her my size because the dress fit so perfectly. I had taken my wedding dresses back home, and he had never cared to ask for them, so how was he able to get my size. The only answer I could think of was Mia. Perhaps he had asked Mia for my size, and she had been able to give my size to him accurately.The corset was exquisitely embroidered with silver, feeling both luxurious and surprisingly comfortable. The layers of tulle cascading from the waist were simply magnificent—a sea of shimmering fabric that swirled around my feet. The off-the-shoulder style, with the delicate ruffled details, was so flattering. And the long velvet gloves, the perfect shade of dark blue to complement the dress, added a touch of mystery. But the real showstopper? The mask. It was a deep blue colour, i

  • Her Man   NUMBER ONE ENEMY

    It seems like I am going crazy! Not only did I follow Alexander to the masquerade ball without complaint, I was somewhat happy at the fact that he had approached me with a flower, planted a kiss on my cheek, and apologised. It was not like Alexander to apologise, so it came as a shock.“I'm sorry for what happened back there. It had to be done that way so my enemies would know not to mess with me. You look gorgeous as always”, he said, planting a kiss on my cheek which went red immediately.That was the magic trick that was used on me. That was all it took for Alexander to take me to the masquerade ball without me trying to argue. The only thing I did was collect the rose and nod at him to lead the way. But when he held my hand, I sank even more into his spell. I did not pull my hand away, I could not. I had no idea why I was suddenly being calm. Maybe it was because I was exhausted, and could not argue with Alexander, or maybe I was just under some sort of spell.We were driven in
