Ethan's p.o.vThe guests erupted into applause, cheering on the newlyweds as they shared their first kiss as a married couple."Thank you so much for coming, Ethan," Patricia, Nathan's fiance and Mark's twin said at the reception. "You too, Jane.""Thanks for having us, Pat,"Jane replied sincerely.My eyes scan around to find Freya in a kind of talk with Juliana. She seem quite agitated from the way her head motioned and gestured."Nathan," Mark called out of nowhere, his hands dipped into his trousers's pockets and moseying towards us. His unravelled tie suggested his already tired state of body at the moment.He embraced Nathan and shook hands with him. "Thanks for coming, man."Mark's eyes fell on Jane and I. "You must be Ethan,"he grinned. "Nathan's told me a lot about you. Thanks for coming. I appreciate it.""Thanks for having us," again, Jane answered instead. Her constant and never ending clinginess and crooking of my elbow only infuriated me the more."Thanks for having us, M
Ethan's p.o.vAs I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my tie for what felt like the umpteenth time, Jane sidled up behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist."Hey, handsome," she cooed, nuzzling her head into my shoulder. "Are you almost ready to go?"I sighed inwardly. I was ready; I'd been ready for the past one hour while Jane was still fussing over her hair.She had seen the invitation letter Nathan gave me the other time and she insisted she will also be attending with me even though I wish she wouldn't."Just finishing up," I replied, forcing a smile as I glanced at her reflection in the mirror.Jane's eyes sparkled with excitement. "How I love weddings! And this one is going to be so much fun. It's been ages since I attended one and I'm sure it'll be a beautiful ceremony."I nodded politely, even though what she meant by ages was just last weekend. Reuniting with Silas and Drake after so long would be a relief. We barely have time to reconnect with each other due to ou
Freya's p.o.vMy jaw dropped at Junior's question and I felt my back hit the driver's seat due to great shock."Last week, Aiden showed me the toy his father had brought for him and just yesterday Chloe did the same thing," Junior whimpered. "They would usually talk about their father taking them on a trip while I just sit and listen. I don't usually know what to say when they ask me about my father. Charlie always says it's because my daddy is dead and I don't have any father."I felt my heart dug with a dagger seeing my son this way and I could only wish Junior was never put in such a situation."Sweetie. Your father isn't dead OK. Don't mind Charlie," I try to console him, but he cut me off, breathing heavily and hiccupping through his tears. "Your father loves you OK...""No, mummy," Junior snapped at me. "You've said that countless times. I know that my father loves me but I want to see him. What does he look like?"Unsure and confused on how to reply Junior, I locked the car win
Freya's p.o.v"No way," my mouth opened as my eyes widened in sheer astonishment as Juliana paraded the dressing room in her white off-shoulder flowing wedding gown. "I bet Mark would do a double take when he sees you in this beauty on that day."Juliana chuckled pleasingly, turning around as she checked herself out in the mirror.I grinned as I admire not only the dress on Juliana but also her state of mind at the moment.She really deserved it— a new life, love life and everything in-between.We lost contact after the unfortunate event at the Slade's mansion, but destiny brought us back together after I had visited Mark at his office one time only to discover that she works there as his secretary.Despite being a mother of two, Mark has proved his love to Juliana in so many ways and I'm glad she found her one and true love in him.Their wedding is in four days time and as the bridesmaid, I need to shove aside my work a bit and focus in making that day a huge success."We'll pick thi
Jane's p.o.vMy blood boil knowing it was because of that bitch Ethan had decided to cut me off—both with his attention and marital rites.I had thought the idea of greeting rid of his phone would lead to then end of them— to all that they have had, but it only got worse.Ethan, after we left the mansion that day and arrived at the States had switched up on me. He made me realize our engagement was a mistake and that he only needed to do it for his Father's sake. He had told me about Freya, but I wasn't willing to let it go. I stole his phone the very moment we entered the car as it feel from his pocket to the back seat but he didn't even realize it.I went through the phone and saw countless messages from Freya and through their previous chat, I knew he was really head over heals with her. But I will never allow such to happen.I had threatened him in so many ways just so I could get his attention and love, but each time o did, it was always tearful in the end for me.I hate that I h
Ethan's P.o.vMy heart skipped a beat at the mention of her name. "What...what?" I find myself stuttering on the phone, unable to believe my ears."Yes, Ethan.""And what about her?" I asked, trying to keep my tone casual as I whispered whilst subconsciously moving away from the bed and Jane who is now fast asleep.I walked out of our bedroom and stood at the terrace."You need to see her man. She's looking so great— so upgraded and more beautiful than the other time from the picture," Nathan said, his words sparking a mix of emotions in me.I had show Nathan and some my other friends Freya's picture during a hang out after they requested for what she looked like back then. They have only met her through our shared pictures and not physically.I felt my heart dance as Freya's name echoed in my mind lole a whisper from the past. It's been seven good years, yet the mere mention of her name still had the power to stir up emotions I thought I'd long buried."Really?" my hand rubbed the na
