The Wedding Part-7.Florence Pov.I need no further words. For some reason, I felt scared. Last night I had lashed out at her but standing before me with a silly gown in her hand, her lips pines red, a sudden fear consumed me.“She would wear it”. Amber stepped in, collecting the gown from my mother and standing between us.Mother has no words, if it wasn't for Amber, she was this close to pouncing on me, beating me blue black to the poChapter 39.The Wedding Part-9.Florence Pov.That was the last of the straw.No damn way!.I stumbled backwards, my grip firm on the door, I took two steps backwards still in shock, my brain still processing what I just saw.The hallway spun as I ran through it, my vision clouded, my heels clicking against the marble floor as I ran out in denial.I needed some space.I needed to go outside the church building, I had just witnessed the highest sin, I wasn't supposed to see something as disgraceful as this.My father, thrusting my best friend!.By the time I was close to the entrance of the door, the tears poured, I felt shattered and broken, who would have thought?.My best friend…Having an affair with my strict father, I stared at the ball that hung by the door and the fancy ribbons attached to its side. It felt off, like I was in a show of shame and unfortunately, I'm the m
Chapter 38.The Wedding Part-8.Florence Pov.“She looks so beautiful “. One of the neighbors close to us was dressed in a pink armless gown.“Who would have thought Florence would make a pretty bride”. Another added.My mother smiled, so did my father and Amber, they weren't the ones in my shoes, they would cheer me on, painting a gaming red flag green because they wanted to be in the good book of my parents.I didn't acknowledge any of their compliment, my mother covered up with a smile, assisting Amber in pulling my dress through the door.The walk to the car felt like a dream, I still had a bit of hope that something was going to go wring before I git tintyw church but then it felt like it was already sealed, nothing was put of place, in fact everything was in place, with a heavy heart and troubled spirit, I climbed into the car, Amber climbs in with me, the cars decorated with balloons and ribbons.My fathe

Last night I had lashed out at her but standing before me with a silly gown in her hand, her lips pines red, a sudden fear consumed me.“She would wear it”. Amber stepped in, collecting the gown from my mother and standing between us.Mother has no words, if it wasn't for Amber, she was this close to pouncing on me, beating me blue black to the point I walk down the aisle with a broken hand.I could see the goodness in her eyes, and the tension from last night was still very evident in her eyes.Mother sighed heavily, the tension between us palpable, then she spoke at once.“Make her change into this as fast as possible, we are running late”. She ordered Amber pointing towards the wedding gown.“Right away mother, she will be with you shortly “. Amber responded, still smiling like a fool. If she wants
Chapter 36.The Wedding Part-6.Florence Pov.I froze!.My face still dripping wet, I stared at the mirror confused, my brain rebooting, my reflection in the mirror stared back at me, my eyes wide, face pale and lips swollen like I had a rough fight last night, fear crawled back into me slowly.The knock came again.This time, louder.I got out at once, walking towards the door, my mind racing, the teddy still on the floor, and my eyes still swollen. Gradually, it all came flooding back.The wedding.The confrontation with mom.Billy’s face and his tears.It was today.“Florence”. A warm voice called from the door, my breath caught, my heart racing.She was here!.I rushed to the door unlocking it so fast that my hand almost slipped off the key.I pulled the door open.She stood there.She dressed so beautifully, if she wasn't weari
Chapter 35.The Wedding Part-5.Florence Pov.She rolled her eyes and hissed.“You’re an ill luck of a child. I can't believe you came out of me. You act so much like a bastard, a child that was switched in the ward by the nurses while I was asleep. I wonder how you look like me cause you're nothing like me “. She cursed painfully.Her words touched me but I didn't show remorse big like I didn't want to show remorse but I had bottled in so much pain, letting just a little out and she feels so enraged and disrespected, how about me?.I carry so much and hoggie between my day, crying myself to sleep most times, I'm more sad around the house and jovial with Billy and yet they come together and steal my life from me and expect me to stay quiet.Hell no!.“I had never for once gone on my knees to beg him to send me to a school he couldn't afford, I had never said he shoots more than he could afford so why blame me?”.
Chapter 34.The Wedding Part-4.Florence Pov.If I turned to look at her, I would regret it. Mother acts like she's really on your side while all she does is hear from you and use your vulnerable moment against you so I'd rather not.She stood up slowly, her hand hovering over my back massaging my shoulders slowly, I closed my eyes, unable to hold back the tears, it poured freely.“You shouldn't be crying “. She started.I shifted.I shifted my shoulders, her hands fell off.She hesitated for a minute before she spoke again, her hand resting steady on the chair handle.“Florence you shouldn't be crying, please don't hurt yourself”. She whispered, rubbing my shoulders gently for the second time.“Ler me cry”. I replied hoarsely" Let me pour it all our”. I sobbed, I couldn't contain the tears anymore.For a moment, she was quiet, for a moment she said nothing but allowed me to bask in my

Chapter 22.My Stepfather- Part 2.Kristine Pov.My mom praised him, she said the nicest things about him, she called him her better half, whenever she spoke of him, I could see the love in her eyes, but still I felt off.I could see through his pretence and fake emotions, I see the way he looks at
Chapter 26.My Stepfather- Part 6.Kristine Pov.I hadn’t slept for long before I heard the knock on the door, the knock grew louder after the first time, I stood up slowly, putting the frame back on the table, shifting my gaze to the wall clock, it was past nine, I had slept for close to four hour
