My Groom's Disguise To Make Me His

The anger I felt swirled inside me like molted hot lava! "The nerve of him to Strutt in that nightclub with another girl on his arm! I'm so disgusted and hurt! How often have I asked him to come out to be with me? And every time, he's given me some flimsy excuse about him working late! How could I have been so naive to think he was sincere? I refused to accept a man lying to me! This could never be a happy marriage! What made me think things would be different for me! Kenneth Cole has sadly fooled my parents and me! This is so unfair! I had feelings for him. I was so silly to think he would be different!" Once I got home, my eyes were filled with tears as I unlocked the door and closed it behind me. I leaned against it. I felt too weak to move or breathe. "That Kenneth Cole is so heartless! I never imagined tonight would be my first time seeing him face-to-face in a predicament like this! His eyes looked like he wanted to put my lights out when I told him I would tell my father! I w

The day I left my parents' house and moved in with my friend Candance's family for a month, I knew I couldn't stay there for long because her family was much like mine. No sooner than I returned from job hunting. Candance's mother was waiting for me to enter the door. "Hey, Kita, can you come and take a seat." "Good evening, Mrs. Lyons.' "What are your plans? Are you going back home to your parents?" "Well, no. I plan on getting my place." "Why would you do something like that? Your parents care greatly about you and only want the best for you, young lady. I'm going to have to ask you to go back home. This town is too small to keep you here when I disagree with this rebellious behavior. I can barely look at your poor mother's face. She is so broken-hearted over you doing this to them. I hope you understand. I don't want Candance to think this rebellion is the proper way to behave toward your parents." "I understand. I'll pack my things, Mrs. Lyon's, and I'll be gone by morning."

IT WAS MONDAY MORNING. AN UNNERVING AND OVERWHELMING feeling hit the pit of my stomach! I walked into the cold building clad in all marble. It looks as menacing on the inside as it does on the outside! I was met with alarming glaring eyes and stares from people. I had known these people all my life, as I grew up in this tiny Town. Wow! They honestly do believe firmly in the sanctity of arranged marriages. I hadn't anticipated that many people would miss work to be present. Or had they given the townspeople the day off from work so they could see me be made out of an example? I could feel their every emotion, too! Their anger, disappointment, disgust, and especially disdain! I could tell in the people's eyes I had already been judged and condemned! The mothers and fathers from my hometown were determined to make an example out of me! So that none of the other citizens' daughters could ever think of doing what I had done! But what had I done that deserved this kind of venom? I, Kita Ari

I woke up hearing voices. I barely open my eyes. I see this man insisting that he talk to me. He is well-dressed and looks trustworthy. "Doctor, you can let him in the room to see me." "Do you know who he is?" "No, but he looks trustworthy." "Mr. Cole! Oh my God! What happened to your face?! Is it you, Sir?" "What do you mean?" "You look different." "Oh, I was told I was in a back accident." "Yes, you were very upset that day." "Why?" "Why? You don't remember, Sir?" "Not yet. But I would like to know." "First, how are you doing, sir?" "How am I doing? I'm great! I have a new face, and I'm alive! That's something to be thankful for, don't you think?" "Sir, are you joking?" "I don't know. I guess I am?" "But sir, you don't joke?" "I guess I do now. Why don't I joke?" I asked curiously. "I can't say exactly. But I assume it must have something to do with your childhood. You've lived a highly stressful life." "What do I do?" "You are a famous person in t

"Good morning, I'm Kita Arie, the manager of clerks and the front desk." "Good morning, my name is Lilly Tanner." "Yes, let's begin your training this morning, Mrs. Tanner." The morning was going smoothly as I got Mrs. Tanner all trained and ready to start her duties of answering the phones that would soon be ringing off the hook! Later that evening, things were busy, and it was my first time in complete control of it all without my boss, Mr. Klein, being in the office or town for the weekend. **** "Welcome to Baha Mar hotel and resort. How can I help you?" “Reservations for Lyle Sever,” (Ken says,) looking at the row of young women faces at the counter. He glanced down at his phone, having only the side profile of a picture of the girl he was told that he was supposed to marry. He sees one girl who might be assisting another guest in line. But he wasn't sure. Just when he went to look at his phone again, the young lady behind the desk said, "Okay, sir, you said Lyle Sever, c
