Se connecterThe Garcia family's notorious illegitimate son — violent, obsessive, and dangerously unstable — had sent out a public marriage summons. One of us, my sister or I, was to become his bride. My father, with his career in ruins and his influence dwindling, had no choice but to agree. In desperation, I begged my boyfriend Eric Jordan to return home and make our engagement official. He did rush back, travel-worn and anxious — but only to ask for my sister's hand in marriage. Shattered, I demanded to know why. Eric frowned, his voice icy. "You're just a foster daughter of the Lynch family. You've eaten their food, lived under their roof for years. And if it weren't for Willa, you would've frozen to death on the street. Now's your chance to repay her. Don't be ungrateful." I refused to stay silent. He shoved me aside in frustration. "I told you — Willa and I are only pretending. Once she's out of danger and that lunatic forgets about the proposal, we'll divorce. I'll come back for you. However, stop embarrassing yourself like this — it's pathetic." What Eric did not know was… Willa Lynch escaped the marriage. However, I did not. Later, on the day of the wedding, as the bridal car passed the Jordan family estate, I looked out the window — and locked eyes with Eric. His face turned pale as a sheet.

"Huh Finally! I have nothing to add on " , I said as I stared at my reflection in the mirror . . . I had already clad up in a beautiful laced short black dress. I strutted out of my room and hailed a cab. When i got in front of my destination, A smile was plastared on ny lips before I struttered out of the car and made my way to a cream apartment, bursting open the door and opening my mouth to call for Alex, but stopped dead in my tracks. As soon as I walked inside I see a pair of high heels and a handbag by the door – neither of which belong to me. “Who the hell is he….” I immediately trailed off in mid sentence when I walked a bit closer and for what I witnessed made my mouth to instantly fall open and my eyes to pop out of my eyes. I cock my ears towards the bedroom, and my stomach churns when I hear the unmistakable sound of moaning, accompanied by a steady thump thump thump, as the bed collides with the wall. Worse even than realizing that Alex is clearly in there with another woman, is realizing who he’s with. I know that handbag, and I know those shoes – they belong to my best friend, Mia “No!” I kept saying unbelievably, shaking my head in denial and letting my curiosity to take over, I moved a bit closer and lastly my eyes fell on them I watched them as they fucked each other " Oh !.... Ahh !....yes I’m gonna cum, Oh ! Gosh, Alex….oh ! Oh , ! Oh ! Yes " , Mia' s screams sounded like a song to my ears. “A…A…Alex!” I called gently almost like a whisper, my voice breaking with tears dancing on my face, this was honestly too much to bare for me. “Alex!” I called again, this time louder As soon as he heard my voice, his eyes instantly flashed opened and then pushed away Mia aside, “Charlotte! Why are you here?” He sounded with his voice full of shock and awe. I tried to hold my tears but seeing mia’s naked body beside him made my tears to well more on my face. “Uhnnn!” With the tears dancing on my face, I took to my heels, not wanting to have anything to do with the crazy bastard! Alex had put on his clothes and immediately stomped out to chase after me, “Charlotte! Charlotte! Wait up!” He said catching up with me, and trying to touch me by the shoulders, when he did, I planted a hard slap on his cheeks, “Charl?” He said walking away from me with few steps. “How could you Alex?” I said with my trembling lips “I can explain!” He replied trying to hold my hands “Do not touch me!” I said pushing him off, “I don’t want to hear any fucking explanation from you!” He looked behind me, and I followed his gaze to see Mia standing in a corner away, with a face of guilt, “You can continue with your nonsense!” I told her particularly, “I’m out of this!” I replied walking away from him and not bothering to even take a second glaze at him!” He tried to run towards me, But i immediately signaled to a cab, got in and ordered him to drive off. I watched him and mia through the rear view mirror as they stood there staring at the cab passing, with a feeling of guilt. Since i had nothing to do or want to see anyone, I headed straight to the near by silent club. With what i had just witnessed, i really wanted to get my mind off the image of my best friend, Mia and boyfriend, Alex, oh! Sorry, Exes! I made my way to the bartender, and said without any pleasantries, “Get me one full glass of wine!” I ordered as i sat down on the high leather stool. “What type of wine do you want, Miss” “The best, strongest wine you got!” I replied which he immediately poured the wine into a cup, the scent was so strong to my nostrils but i choose to ignore. He barely poured the wine in the cup, when i grabbed the cup and gulped it down as if it was a sweet juice, “Get me another now!” I ordered as i placed the glass of wine down He looked at me, surprised but instantly did as he was told. He poured me another, and I gulped it down with the same intensity. After pouring me the third glass, he looked at me and stopped,”Miss, isn’t this enough?” “What the fuck is your business! Pour me another one, in fact i need the whole freaking bottle!” I said taking the whole bottle from him and pouring it straight into my mouth. I placed the wine down and stared at the half content left, feeling drunk, yet i can still remeber what happened, the moans, the facial expressions, the nakedness, the laughter! Everything! I stared at the wine remembering how Alex and I first met, how he would also send sweet messages and flowers to me. Telling me that he loves me everytime. I had gone to visit him so we could bond together, and i meet…so he never even loved me. “Why isn’t this wine working?” I yelled with tears in my eyes, “Get me another glass of wine!” I ordered feeling so misrable The bartender gave me another glass of wine just like i ordered and I gulped it down again. ‘Alex never did love me!’ I thought, he never cared about me. After the scene i saw with Mia, I don’t want to have anything to do with both of them again! They can all go to hell! I poured the wine into a glass of cup and as i was gulping it, a man i didn’t know walked over and stood next to me, what captivated me most was the fine, attractive and expensive suit that he wore. He looked at the bottle of wine right in front of me and didn’t even bother to look at me, I din’t really see his face, due to my gaze half closed, but one thing i notice is that, He had this dirty blonde spiky hair, pink lips and a nice jawline. As i was about to take my leave, I heard a voice directed at me, “why would a lady like you be drinking so much?” He said grinning mischeviously, “You know, I can be your company if you want!”At that moment, I felt a complete revulsion towards someone.The Eric who once sparkled in my heart, without equal in my eyes, had started to decay the moment he chose Willa. Then, he was utterly gone.I let out a soft laugh. "Eric, why bother explaining? You and I are history."Willa's having your baby, so step up and take responsibility."Eric's eyes brimmed with tears as he saw my indifference."No, no! I know what matters to you, Sylvia, I know it!"He clung to me, refusing to let go. I was filled with loathing and pushed him away with a swift kick.Eric lay on the ground, a look of utter shock on his face as a tear slid from his left eye. "Sylvia, why?"I peeled off the coat he had sullied and tossed it into the trash can beside me."Because you make my skin crawl."Samuel later took Willa and Eric for a DNA test, which confirmed that Eric was indeed the father of the child.Suddenly, Eric and Willa were treated like outcasts.As for Yale and me, life just kept getting
"Sylvia, I realize my mistake, please forgive me."I could not help but smirk, "You've come at just the right time. Everyone's dying to know what's the deal with you and Willa."The mere mention of Willa sent Eric into a visible frenzy."Sylvia! Don't get the wrong idea, there's nothing between her and me. I only took care of her because she's your sister, and our marriage was nothing but a charade. I've cut ties with her, we're divorced now, Sylvia, please forgive me."He fumbled in his pocket and produced a shiny divorce certificate.Willa went white with fury."You, Eric! You!"Eric looked at her with nothing but loathing, "I told you, we're done! Leave me alone!"Then, gripping my hand firmly, he pleaded, "Sylvia, you've got to believe me, there's nothing between her and me. You're the one I truly care about."However, in a flash, Yale slapped his hand away."Eric, looks like your dad's lessons didn't stick. She's my wife."Yale then pulled me close, his arm possessively
I never imagined Yale would wrap his arm around my waist as I stepped out of the car and sweep me off my feet."People are watching," I murmured, a blush creeping up my cheeks. After years with my childhood friend Eric, I had never been that close with a man in such a public setting.Yale just grinned. "You'd better get used to it, Mrs. Garcia."His words sent a wave of heat across my face.Eric saw it all, and so did Willa.Willa, fuming at the sidelines, could not help but let out a snide remark. "Really, sis? You're an adult and still need Mr. Garcia to carry you? I'm embarrassed for you, even if you're not."Her biting comment turned all eyes on her.Willa waved her hand dismissively, her voice dripping with false concern, "Sis, don't get me wrong. I'm just looking out for you. You're Mrs. Garcia now, part of the Garcia family. You've got to act the part, you know?"The neighbors, green with envy at our ties to the Garcias, seized the moment to throw in their two cents."E
I found myself wrapped in another pair of warm, sturdy arms."Mr. Jordan, it's high time you taught your son some manners. He's completely lacking in courtesy."Samuel Jordan, frantic, bellowed from below, "That's enough, Eric!"Are you trying to ruin me?"However, Eric was beyond reason, refusing to budge.Yale's boot connected with Eric's knee, sending him tumbling down. As he clumsily got back up and saw me resting against Yale, fury blazed in his eyes.Eric swung at Yale's face, shouting, "This is all your doing! If you hadn't forced Sylvia to marry you, she wouldn't be with you!"However, his punch never hit its mark, Yale caught it and sent one flying back."With a bruised, swelling eye, Eric spat, "You're nothing but an illegitimate son. What makes you think you can stand up to me, let alone deserve to marry Sylvia?"I could not help but feel a twinge of concern for Yale, but he was the picture of cool, even allowing a smirk to play on his lips."So what if I'm an ille
