My hands grabbed the papers I was reading, but I barely looked at them because my mind was preoccupied with the message I saw on his phone.It was from a girl, who was saying how amazing he was last night, and she really loves the branded expensive lingerie set he gifted her this morning. He spent the night with one of his nightstandsI can't even believe I'm going to marry someone like him. He is a manwhore for real.I hate you!I kept my hand over my head, breathing heavily. I quickly took the water bottle placed in front of me and gulped it down.Suddenly, a sharp pressure formed inside of me, and I coughed hard.Tears started coming out of my eyes.There is no way I will marry him, not in this fucking life.Never!It's final. I will say a big no to him.I just can't do this. As for Ivaan, he is mature enough to solve his own life problems. I just can't marry that man. He practically forced Ivaan to marry him with the threat of ruining Ivaan's life, but now I don't care. Ivaan is n
Past Our paper got started, and as soon as I got the question paper, the teacher rolled her eyes at me.I know everyone here hates me except Faith.Finally, when I saw the questions, I sighed in relief. Actually, it's our social studies paper and I know the answers, so I will easily get passing marks on these.After writing those answers, which I remembered when I revised last night, I glanced at their questions, which I don't know.I don't want to cheat on this paper."Shh," someone says quietly, prompting me to look up.I looked up at Faith. She was gesturing me something. I followed her eyes. Oh, she wants to know an answer.I kept my head down and slowly nodded to her, and slowly took my answer sheet and passed it to her carefully.Thank God, the teacher is still busy with her phone chatting with someone I didn't know and was not interested in.She took my answer sheet and quickly opened the papers of the question booklet, trying to cover my desk so that no one could notice that
PastSeveral weeks passed. Everything was going as normal, except for one thing.Faith!!She didn't call me or text me after our exams. I just don't know what's wrong with her.And today is our result day too. I just hope me and Faith will get past our exams.God, please!Suddenly, my phone rang. A smile appeared on my face when I noticed it was my uncle's call, but again, today is my results day. What if I fail?"Mark Uncle," I said in a low whisper."What happened? Why are you speaking so cold? Is everything alright?" he asked me. I can sense he is worried about me."Today is my result day, Uncle. That's why I'm so scared. You know, dad and mom always wanted me to pass with great grades in my exams.""Now they're both not in this world, but I know they're watching me from God's home and I just wanted to make them feel proud of me," I sighed and rested my head on my hand.Just don't worry, I trust you and your abilities. I am sure you will get through your exams. Just never lose hope
Present"Bri, Brille," I looked around. Someone just called me.I was lost in past memories of my high school.My head drew back quickly as I saw my uncle Mark, smiling at me.I quickly threw myself into his arms.He is like my second father. He is my maternal uncle, the brother of my mom.and father of Ivaan, Ruhi, and Nancy."How is my doll?" he cupped my face, smiling down at me."I'm good," I sit on the couch looking down at the floor.Noting is time that Zuriel is forcing me to marry him and I don't like him a bit. We just can't even stand in the same room. How am I supposed to marry him when we hate each other so much?"No, something is wrong to tell me now," he asked me as his eyes tightened.I knew it. I just can't be able to hide this anymore from him. He can see in my eyes and tell what is running in my mind.If I put my head downward, there is no way I can hide it more."Actually, uncle, you know Zuriel Richardson," I said, looking down at the ground."I know everything alr
Zuriel POVAs I entered the restaurant, I particularly looked for a copper-haired guy, who I had no doubt would be flirting with a waitress by now.That person happens to be my best friend. We had known each other all of our lives.Destined to inherit his father's software engineering firm, he was a tough yet easygoing guy.As I guessed, he was indeed flirting with a waitress who was displaying enough cleavage to grab my attention. As she looked at me, I winked at the waitress, who flushed in return.Samuel saw this and shook his head disapprovingly."Not cool, man. What happened to bros before hoes? " He made a disapproving sound and sighed dramatically when the waitress walked away from him."Hey, she was the one who made the move," I said coolly before taking a seat opposite him.While having lunch with him, I couldn't help but think about her and the priceless look on her face when I told her that we were going to get married.I chuckled at the thought. She is one hell of a thing.
Brielle POVI looked at myself in the mirror while walking with wide steps.smirking at myself, even though I also can't believe it is happening.I finally found a solution to escape from this so-called wedding.I'm going to run away soon, just in half an hour."Bri, see your wedding dress arrived," Roohi said, while two girls looked like they belonged to a particular sales store, bringing a packetThen Roohi opened it and pulled out a beautiful white "Lorelei" lace-and-organza strapless gown with a corded bodice and flange wave skirt.Oh God! This is indeed so beautiful and amazing. I drummed my feet against the floor.If I was not being forced into this marriage and if it was not Zuriel, then I would gladly get married just for this beautiful wedding dress.I quickly took my phone and clicked pictures. I also didn't know that"Silly, why are you taking pictures of it? You're only going to wear it once, after all, it's your wedding gown," Nancy nudged me while ruffling my hair.Only
I blinked infrequently, looking around at the beautifully decorated church, graced with light saffron and white roses.It's so beautiful. Why not? After all, it's God's home.But my smile fell and I clasped my hands over my chest when I realised that soon I was going to marry the devil himself.I'm going to marry Zuriel soon.Biting my lips, I looked around to find something to focus on. I can't even believe that I am being married to Zuriel. My biggest nightmare came true today.Four hours before,Flashback"Running away from your own wedding," I gulped down but didn't turn back. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out of it.But, the truth can never be hidden. It's like a ray of the sun. We can never keep the truth in the dark. This thing that I ran away from my wedding will be bound to be revealed sooner or later. Why not today?Let it happen now. It's simple. If I don't want to marry him, then I won't. No one can force me to marry him against my will.I turn around, touchi
She quickly put her dominant hand open, thumb pointing at her chin and fingers pointing up.I smiled widely and nodded at her.She was saying to me that I looked so beautiful.But, my smile fell when I looked at the front. My insides started tickling my stomach. I think I'm going to faint here.Why the hell is he having this much effect on me? I was supposed to hate that man. From the depth of my heart, why the hell, my breath stopped whenever his brown eyes met mine. Even butterflies started tingling inside of me, making my body tremble so badly.I saw his eyes smoulder with intensity, making my knees wobble. I could even feel my mouth flooding with moisture, but soon his eyes hardened when he saw Ivaan beside me. He called at Ivaan, and I looked aside. Ivaan's jaw was clenched with a sneer.I'm sure I'm missing something. I mean, the way they both are glaring at each other while looking like they will break each other's bones.But, if it's possible, I mean, they're strangers, then h
