Marriage of Deception Lauren
The only thing I wanted right at that moment was to get out of this house by any means. Standing under the same roof with Camila Astor was pure torture for me, most probably because of the intimidating personality that she didn’t forget to bring with her. This woman was scary, no matter what she did. It wasn’t just her million-dollar net worth that was making me insecure, but also the way she talked, stared, walked, and other things.Every time she got up from her seat and moved to the other side of the room, a hummer smacked into my heart so hard that I stopped breathing. After, the beautiful and eventful day I spent with her yesterday; I was aware of where I stood in her eyes. How could I not after she made it so clear to me? And it was okay for me. It wasn’t that I accepted an open arm from everyone in this family.The lives these people lived dissented from the ones that I used to live. The way I still couldn’t believe I had millions in my bank account, I was sure they couldn’t be

The party was delightful, going more smoothly than I expected. There were whispers among the sound of the music, which was loud enough to cover that unnecessary stuff. These people and their whispers played a major part in my life till now. Actually, they helped me become the person I was today. The successful billion-dollar empire owner’s route wasn’t that easy for me to conquer.As you were all aware of my father’s reckless nature, it was trouble-free to say he was the puppet of the directors of our company. He did most of the time after getting manipulated by those sons of the bitch bastards, old fat assholes who dreamed of taking over the company from my family but failed because of my grandfather. That man was the rock of self-reliance. It would be easier to climb Mount Everest than convincing my pa to sign some documents that he hadn’t read thoroughly, while my father was more easily deployed. You just needed to offer him a beautiful lady and a bottle of expensive whiskey to swa

I was nervous. Before this night, or should I say the party began, celebrating my marriage through this grand bash scared the crap out of me. Mostly because now everyone would know my face, which was the last thing I wanted in my life. If I measured the lighting of the camera all around this room, it was easy to calculate. By now, I was on the news feed of every social media with a hashtag. That would be my first time having this celebrity moment, which I mostly dreamed about on my old half-broken bed in the morning, right before my alarm rang.Come on, didn’t you dare roll your eyes at me? I stood on the lowest steps of the staircase when it came to the financial situation of this damn society. Perhaps I was lower than the lowest that people invented over the years, but despite that, I was free to imagine anything I wanted in my dreams.So I dreamed. Every time I appeared at a high-profile party with my boss wearing a dress that was either borrowed from Selena or rented from the stor

The worst thing about alcohol was the after-effect that we underwent the very next morning. The amount I gulped last night was something that I wouldn’t dare do in my regular life when I had a tremendous acquaintance with this aftermath for a long time. Headache, dryness in my throat, nausea feeling that kept hanging in my mouth, and the morning light that was hurting my eyes were all my friends with whom I had a love-hate relationship.“I hate this,” I said, opening my eyes and using all the energy left in my body. At this moment, if I needed anything, it was food.I assumed that the only person who didn’t eat any of the food that was served throughout the entire night at my grand reception last night was me. The menu was worth more than a million dollars and people devoured it without thinking. Instead of drinking a ton of alcohol, it would be great if I ate a little of everything, especially lobster.It was the first time I was at a party where bisque was served as a welcome drink.

There were so many times when I told my mother about going on a family trip. It didn’t have to be outside California, somewhere near the state would be fine, too.
