"There all done" The makeup artist Brian had told to make me up said to me. I felt the tears coming out from the corner of my eyes.
"don't you want to see how it looks?" she asked again but this time placing the mirror in front of me. I took it from her and threw it on the floor making it smash into a million pieces.
My life is being ruined and I can't seem to do anything about it. I can't believe I'm getting married to this arrogant bastard.
There was a time in my life when I wanted to get married to a, man who would love me for me, a man who would respect me, who would cherish every moment I had with him, who would be ready to love me till death do us part but now it's just the complete opposite.
Marriage was supposed to be a sacred relationship between two people. it is a second important relationship in a, woman's life. how would I be able to survive in this life commitment when there is no love.
I never wanted this for myself, I never wished for any of this. please is everything happening right now a dream?
My eyes were all damp. Lily who I assumed was her name kept on telling me to stop crying so as to not ruin my face but I didn't pay any attention to her.
she doesn't know what I'm going through, she doesn't know what I'm feeling now.
my whole life is ruined. all my dreams wasted and no one knows how much I'm hurting. my friends think I'm one lucky girl to get married to a man as rich as Brian but they don't know the plans he has for me under his sleeves.
"it's time to get dressed" She said to me. I reluctantly stood up.
She brought the gown and got me all dressed up.
I looked into the mirror staring at myself as they applied the finishing touches to my dress.
Today was supposed to be the happiest day of my life but sadly it's not.
She placed the bouquet of flowers in my hand and wore me my jewelry and shoes.
Then I was accompanied to the limousine that was supposed to take me to the venue for the wedding celebration.
We arrived at the garden which was fully decorated and after.
Soon enough, the orchestra began to play the wedding March. the guests stood up and I walked down the aisle in the company of my mom who offered to give me away.
Brian stood at the alter looking back down the Aisle at me. he was giving a mischievous smile. one would think that he was happy with everything going on not knowing that he's not at all getting married for love but revenge.
I looked round the garden and at the crowd.
on the left side were his family and some of his trusted friends.
on the other side were some of the guests and my friends.
As I got close to him, I noticed how grumpy his face had become.
when I reached him, he took my hand and we faced the priest who was to officiate the ceremony.
The wedding kicked off, thereafter, vows were said and we exchanged rings.
About an hour later, we were presented as man and wife.
"you may kiss the bride" the priest said and he turned to face me. he lifted my veil and threw it over my head, then lowered his head to kiss my lips. he pulled his lips inside his mouth and placed them on my lips.
He really didn't kiss me but made it seem as if he did.
he whispered close to my lips "this is just the beginning. I hope you're ready for everything that comes after this"
He smiled at me and turned to look at the crowd who were busy cheering.
"he's going to kill me. this is a nightmare" I thought to myself.
Refreshment were served and after that I went to a place that was supposed to be my husband's home.
Immediately we got in, he closed the door and and forcefully threw me on the couch.
Then he pulled my hair bringing my face to his.
"Well Ciara. congratulations today you became my wife."
I had already started to cry.
"please let me go. you're hurting me" I begged
"that's the point, I'm here to hurt you. I'm here to destroy you and every precious little dream you had for yourself. I'll make sure you pay" he said, eyes burning with fury.
"Please let me go"
"you know what, when we're outside we're a couple but inside, you have no form of relationship with me. you are only here to attend to my needs and that's all got it" he said and pulled me up then threw me on the bed.
He opened the door and walked outside. I have never felt this pain in my life, I sat down in a fetal position and sobbed.
I have never felt so helpless in my entire life.
I quickly took off my gown and scuttled to the bathroom to have my shower.
After bathing, I wore my nightie and sat down on the bed.
I couldn't eat and besides food was the last thing on my mind right now.
I'm broken
I tried calling my parents but he forbade me from doing so.
"you have to suffer alone" he keeps on telling me
so I just got to bed and cried my eyes out.
will I survive marriage with Brian. I think I just signed a death wish for myself.
And before I knew it, I fell asleep.
Ella's POVThe morning sun streamed through my tiny apartment's windows, casting long shadows across the bare walls. One month of independence, and I still hadn't unpacked all my boxes. Maybe part of me was afraid to settle in, to make this escape feel permanent.I adjusted my blazer in the mirror, smoothing down invisible wrinkles. The woman staring back at me looked different from the one who'd left Dave's house a month ago. Stronger, maybe. Or just more determined."You've got this," I whispered to my reflection. First day at Gregory's law firm as a paralegal. He'd offered me the job after seeing how thoroughly I'd documented Dave's indiscretions. "You're organized," he'd said. "Detail-oriented. We need someone like you."The bus ride downtown felt like entering another world. No more luxury car with a driver, no more carefully curated image of the perfect corporate wife. Just me, my second hand laptop bag, and a determination to rebuild my life from scratch.The law office occupie
Dave's POVThe quarterly reports blurred before my eyes, numbers dancing like mocking specters across the page. Each line spelled out the same truth: we were drowning. Three years of questionable decisions and risky ventures had finally caught up with Scott Enterprises. The company my father had built, the legacy I was supposed to protect—all of it slipping through my fingers.I admit, I have been slacking off on my duties, partying more, buying more diamonds for the women who caught my eyes. Anything to make their legs spread for me.However, I can't believe I let it get this bad. If this continues, the company might have to file for bankruptcy and I have no idea how I'm going to face my dad. He already thought I didn't have what it took to manage the company. Everyone thought the same. Collins had just always been better at everything."Mr. Scott?" Sarah's voice drifted through my dark thoughts. My assistant stood in the doorway, her lipstick freshly applied, blouse buttons done u
Ella's POVFreedom smelled like cardboard boxes and packing tape.My hands shook as I sealed another box, marking it "CLOTHES" in bold black letters. The morning sun streamed through our bedroom windows – windows I'd stared through countless nights, feeling trapped in this beautiful cage Dave called home while he desecrated our vows."We have two hours max," Lily said, efficiently wrapping my photo frames in bubble wrap, her lips set in determined lines. She has been an absolute rock through all these and I don't know what I'd do without her. "Mr. Chris wants to meet at 11:30. Are you sure about going through with this today?"I nodded, checking my burner phone again. 8:45 AM. Dave would be in his morning meeting until 11. "Dave saw the e-files Mr. Christ sent to my regular phone by mistake. There's no point waiting anymore – he knows I want out."Mr. Chris, my lawyer, a middle aged man with intelligent eyes and a kind smile, had been deeply sorry for sending the divorce papers to my
Dave's POVThe call ended abruptly, leaving me staring at my phone in rage. No name, no number, just those words echoing in my head: "I have photos of your wife and the man she spent the night in a hotel room with."I looked up to find Collins and Ella standing awkwardly at the entrance, keeping their distance from each other. Something about their body language set off alarm bells in my head."What the hell is going on?" I stepped between them, studying their faces. "Uncle Collins, are those bruises healing well? You seem to be moving around just fine."Collins met my gaze steadily. "Unlike some people, I know how to take a hit.""And you, dear wife?" I turned to Ella, watching her fidget with her purse strap. "You seem awfully quiet this morning. Anything you want to tell me? You better tell me who you were with before I find out by myself.""Dave, stop it," Ella whispered, her eyes darting between Collins and me. "Your parents are waiting.""Oh, we have time." I moved closer to her
Ella's POVThe sound of shattering glass jolted me awake. I sat up in bed, my heart pounding, before realizing it was just another nightmare about the banquet. Three days had passed, but the image of Collins and Dave fighting wouldn't leave my mind. Neither would the look in Collins' eyes when he'd practically announced our indiscretion to everyone. I don't even want to think about Dave's rage. All in all, the last three days have been horrible."Bad dream?" Dave's voice made me freeze. He stood in the doorway of our spare bedroom, watching me with those cold eyes I'd grown to fear. Since the banquet, he'd barely slept, spending his nights pacing the house like a caged animal. His seriously bruised face, careful stance and bandage on his arm remind me how serious the fight had been. I don't know how Collins looks but I bet it's not as bad as Dave does."I'm fine," I whispered, pulling the covers tighter around myself."Of course you are." He walked to the window, yanking the curtains
Collins' POV"How about you talk to your wife, why had she been staring at me also!" The words left my mouth before I could stop them. I saw Ella's eyes widen with panic, her fingers clutching her champagne glass so tightly I thought it might shatter. A sick satisfaction coursed through me. Let her worry. She'd played her games, and now she could deal with the consequences.Dave's grip on my collar tightened, his knuckles white with rage. "What the hell are you talking about?"I shouldn't have said anything. The memory of that night at the masked party flooded back unbidden – her body against mine, her moans, the shock when our masks came off. The same woman I'd dismissed three years ago as just another gold digger after our family's money.I remembered that first meeting clearly. She'd walked into the family gathering with practiced grace, all innocent smiles and perfect manners. Dave had been besotted, but I'd seen right through her act.
