This is not happening, someone please tell me that this isn’t happening! I had so many outcomes in my mind of how today could have gone, but not like this.

“Oh, crap,” Mitch says when he sees the tears falling freely from my eyes.

“Look, baby, let me explain,” He forces a laugh as he tries to touch me, but I step backward.

My brother, Ben, looks incredibly embarrassed, and that’s funny because I am one who has hundreds of guests out there waiting for a wedding to go on. 

“I-I don’t understand,” I say truthfully and my chest rises and falls faster than normal. Too many thoughts are going through my mind, and my heart feels like a knife has been stabbed deeply into it.

“This was nothing, we were just playing around. Right, Ben?” He looks to my brother, waiting for him to be backed up. Ben finally lifts his head up and looks at Mitch with annoyance.

“No, Mitch, we were f*ucking,” He replies to him and I inhale sharply.

“Oh now you want to be honest, huh? You’re a freaking hypocrite,” Mitch says to Ben.

I watch the two of them, trying to wrap my head around what is even happening. I am so confused, how could I have missed this? How could I have missed the fact that my brother and boyfriend were screwing?

I feel so stupid!

“Look, babe, let’s forget this and just go out there and pretend that this didn’t happen. We can discuss this after the wedding,” He tries to convince me as he takes a step closer to me. 

He then holds my shoulder as he looks into my eyes, I can see fear and shame in them. A sudden wave of anger rises in me and I raise my hand and slap him hard across the face, causing him to cuss as he takes a few steps away from me.

“Linda,” Ben says as I turn around to walk away.

“I’m sorry,” He says softly and I turn back to him as I shake my head in disappointment.

“I hate you,” I say to him, and then I look at Mitch. His lip is split due to how hard I slapped him.

“I hate the both of you!” I yell at the top of my lungs, and then I head out of the bathroom.

“Wait, wait,” Mitch follows me as I walk through the hallway and into the lobby. 

“Can you just wait for one minute?” He begs me but I just keep on walking, increasing my pace gradually.

I am trying so hard to be strong and not to cry, but my stupid eyes keep betraying me by producing more tears.

When I reach the glass door, Mitch rushes in front of me and blocks me from going out. I fold my arms on my chest and I smile sadly. I can’t believe that I was in love with this man, I was with him for six damn years and this is how it ends.

“You step out there and everything is ruined, no more wedding,” He tries to convince me to stay, but I just laugh without humor.

“Are you even hearing yourself?” I ask him and a tear escapes his eye. Why is he crying? He did this, he is the one that messed up, not me.

“You ruined it all the moment you inserted your penis into my brother!” I yell and everyone in the lobby gasps.

“Now get the hell out of my way,” I push him aggressively and I open the glass door. I then step out and begin to run.

I don’t know where I am going, but all I know is that I don’t want to have to explain to all my guests, my family, and my best friend that I can’t get married anymore.

“Linda, where are you going?” I hear Sammy ask but I continue running. The heels make it even harder to run so once I reach across the street, I stop so I can get them off my feet. When I look back, I see Mitch, my half-dressed brother, and Sammy running toward me.

“Stay away from me!” I yell in their direction, and then I hold my heels in my hands as I begin to run again. Everyone is staring at me, it looks and feels like a scene from a movie, but this is sadly my life.

The tears keep flowing from my eyes and now I am full-on sobbing as I run. I have no sense of direction right now, but I just want to run. Running away feels good, it feels like a much better option than having to look at Mitch’s face one more time.

I swear the next time I see him, I would kill him with my bare hands. Whatever explanation he has, I don’t want to hear it. Not now, not ever!

My feet are the ones leading the way now, I believe that I am as far away from the church and all of it as I could get, but I just can not stop running.

“Hey, watch out!” I hear someone yell, but before I can comprehend what is happening, I step onto the road and a car speeds toward me. The driver tries to brake, but it is too late. The car sweeps me off my feet and I fall onto it as it drags me for a couple of painful seconds.

Once the car comes to a stop, all I can hear are people screaming. My eyelids feel heavy and my entire body is in pain as I lay on the hard ground. 

My cheeks are very close to the ground and although I am trying to speak, my mouth makes no attempt to move.

“I think she’s dead,” I hear someone say as I continue to get sleepy. 

“Oh my gosh,” I hear another voice, not one that I know, but it belongs to a man.

I try to open my eyes so I can see him, but I fail miserably. This time, I fall unconscious.

Maybe beautiful…but also, maybe awfully like hell.I began to hum a tone when I reached down the stairs.

    I inhale sharply at the mention of the name of the man that my wife had an affair with. This man happens to be the same man that she had a baby for and tricked me into believing that the child was mine. This man is the goddamn same person that started this takeover battle so he and Violet could kick me out of my own company that I worked endlessly to build. Why the hell is he here to see me? “Is he alone?” I ask Zara, and she studies my facial expression for a few seconds before answering slowly,” Yeah.” “Good,” I say in a breathy way as I walk away from her desk and head towards the conference room. I receive a few more congratulations from some of the associates that I walk by before I reach the glass door of the conference room. I push the door open and I walk confidently into the room. Zackery is sitting in one of the chairs at the large table and he stares at me as I approach him. “How are you, Mr. Kingston?” He says as he stands to his feet to greet me. He extends his

    ***Chris Kingston’s POV***It is the next day and I am getting ready to go to the company for the first time since the takeover battle. My best friend, Eric is supposed to meet me there in an hour. Yesterday was very eventful, and I can still remember vividly how pissed Sue was. Despite her attitude, I still took Linda to see the small garden of flowers behind the house.It is one of the things in this compound that I am very proud of. The flowers there are lovely and of many kinds. The garden is well taken off by Sergio, I assigned him personally to it years ago.Linda was impressed by the beauty of the garden. She kept stopping every minute to get a whiff of how the flowers’ scent.“Good morning,” I greet Linda as I approach her. She is sitting on the couch watching the Channel 6 News as she sips on some hot tea. Her hair is held in a messy bun, and she is wearing a blue bedroom robe.“Oh,” She says when she sees that I am already dressed formally. I am wearing a gray suit, with a

    Zackery’s eyes go crazy when he sees me running towards him with the shard of glass in my hand. He jumps out of the way and he cusses loudly as he falls to the ground with force.I stop myself when I reach the desk as my chest heaves up and down in a fast motion.“What the hell?!” He asks loudly, and I take his place by standing in front of his desk. “I am walking out of here with those papers,” I inform him firmly as I keep my eyes on him. I use the shard as a way to keep him a distance from me.He stands to his feet, and then he runs his hand through his hair.“F*ck!” He yells in frustration, and I tighten my grip on the shard of glass. As I do this, the sharp edges tear more at my skin but I ignore it. With the amount of adrenaline running through me right now, I barely feel the pain.“Just let me walk out of here with the papers,” I beg him, and he thins his lips.“Violet, if you want the papers so bad, I don’t care, you can have them,” Zackery says to me as he walks toward the f

    ***Violet Kingston’s POV***Zackery soon returns with two wine glasses and a bottle of the expensive liquor in his other hand. He has a grand smile on his face and his eyes are full of excitement.“Did he put up a fight?” He asks me as he places the wine glasses on his desk. He then opens the bottle of liquor and pours some of its content into both of the glasses.“Who are you talking about?” I inquire, though I have a feeling that he is referring to Chris.“Who else would I be talking about? Chris of course!” Zackery exclaims and I force a small laugh.He hands me one of the wine glasses and I take it from him gently. He then takes his own and places his other hand in his pocket.“Yeah, I guess he did,” I reply to him in a dull tone. He raises his glass up for a toast and I instinctively do the same. Our glasses make a distinct sound when they hit each other and Zackery cheers happily.“Hey, wait,” He says after he has sipped some of the liquor.“Why the attitude?” He asks, and then

    Violet bends low and opens the folder. She then takes out a neat stack of documents from the orange folder and places them on the coffee table. I sit on the couch and I begin to review the legal documents. They are legit divorce papers, and all that is missing is my signature.“You could take a few days to think about this if you would like,” Linda suggests and I look at her. She gives me a reassuring smile, silently letting me know that she would be here for me no matter what choice I make.“I’m good,” I reply to her, and she sighs while whispering, “Okay then.”I look back at the papers, and I feel a churning in the pit of my stomach. This could be one of the biggest mistakes of my life, or this could turn out good. I don’t know for sure, but I won’t till I try.“Here,” Violet hands me a pen and I take it from her tentatively.Sue is going to be pissed as hell when she finds out about what I am about to do. I sign the documents, and when I am done, I hand them to Violet. She place
