  • One More Chance   Sand, Gold and His Wandering Eyes

    Dubai shimmered beneath them‌ like a kingdom carved from gold. As the plane de⁠s⁠ce‌nded, Evelyn pressed her palm against the window, st‍a‌ring‍ at the glittering coastline,‌ the endless sa‍nd dunes, and the towering buildin⁠gs‍ that loo⁠ked l⁠ik⁠e the‌y pierced t‌he⁠ sky. It was b⁠ea⁠utiful—breathtaking even—but she fel‍t nothing like a bride on her hon‍eymoon. She felt… misplaced.

Her wed⁠ding veil was still h⁠anging on the chair beside the bed, draped o‍ver i⁠ts‍ ba⁠ck l⁠ike a quiet reminder of a reality she cou‌l‍d no‍t esc⁠ape.

  • One More Chance   Chapter 5

    The weather was perfect, cloudy and humid, just right for an outdoor wedding. It was true that only her immediate family was invited, and although she missed her best friend, Ella, she was partially glad that none of their classmates were present. She had been the brightest in class back then and the student with the highest potential of continuing her education. However, she sat in a wedding chamber, fanning herself nervously though she was not feeling hot. The ivory ribbed dress was fitted to her like a second skin, and the diamond teardrops on her ears were worth a fortune. Any woman would be happy, knowing the luxurious life that awaited her, any woman but not Mrs. Evelyn Johnson–Kent.Lucas sat beside her, his fake smile gone from his lips and an indifferent mask on his face. He was a better actor than she could attempt and he had to subtly pinch her rather elbow to remind her to smile whenever a camera passed by. She was sick of the pretense and her cheeks hurt from smiling all

  • One More Chance   Chapter 4

    "Why didn’t you tell me, Dad? It’s not fair! This is my life you toyed with, my future and you sold me without my knowledge.”Evelyn paced the wooden floor of the dining table, unable to sit down any longer. Usually, she was the cool-headed and reasonable one, but the situation at hand called for violence. She had waited till after dinner, barely managing to chew her dinner to discuss the disturbing topic with her parents. She was angry and her soul wanted retribution for the wrongs done against her. Josh, her younger brother, watched them curiously, eating his dinner in silence. Samuel held his head down in shame and her mom patted his back, sharing in his pain.“Josh, would you mind finishing your dinner upstairs in your room?” Helene requested in a suggestive voice. The young man frowned, letting his spoon drop noisily into his plate. He had thought they would not notice his presence in the midst of the argument. It was not every day one saw Evelyn lose her temper.“But why? You gu

  • One More Chance   Chapter 3

    On her way home, Evelyn reminisced about the events that had taken place in Mr Kent’s office. Prior to entering his office, the notion of marriage had never crossed her mind. Many young women would jump at the idea of being a billionaire’s wife but Evelyn was old-fashioned when it came to issues of the heart. She believed that a marriage was to be built on love, not on material fantasies. Yet, she had just sold herself to save her family from ruin. It was a sacrifice she could not term selfless because she was totally against it. She was not interested in the trinkets he would give her because the jewelry would not compare to the love he could not give her.“Tell Samuel that the deal is done. You can take a copy of the agreement to him as evidence. His presence is required so that we can discuss the marriage date as soon as possible. Everyone will think that it is an arranged marriage so you have to pretend like we are in love. I believe you should be good at that judging from the act
