~Veronica BeckhamI stood at the entrance of the room, peeping. How do I show up for dinner looking like this, especially after Mrs. Callaghan just saw me minutes ago snogging her son’s face?I must have stood there for minutes before Arthur nudged my shoulders. "What are you still doing here? Come on”, he laced his fingers in mine, pulling me out. I spotted the food before I saw Analisse, the aroma making my stomach rumble. I hope he didn’t hear that. Ana looked at me from head to toe. “Ah… what happened to your clothes? Don’t tell me you guys—”, She paused, gaping. “I think I’ve lost my appetite”. She made a gagging face. Oh no! It’s not what you think, we didn’t have sex!“Arthur's bloody hands stained my dress, so I had to change, it’s not what you think”,“Oh, you should have just asked me, I’d have got you some dresses”,“Sure you do, but I wanted her in my clothes”, Arthur grinned at me.My cheeks can’t take any more redness or my face will explode from turning crimson.Ar

~~I opened the door to meet Lilly watching Tv, she looked at me from head to toe. “Why are you—” I raised my hands, cutting her off. “I’m not in the mood for your questions, where’s mum and dad?”“They went to the hospital for Dad's checkup," she grumbled, facing her Tv frowning.I was heading straight up to my room when Lilly shouted that Reese was in my room.Just great! I had been avoiding her since and today of all days she decided to show up. It was high time I faced her. I opened the door, throwing my bag on the table, and collapsing on the bed. I saw Reese on the chair, she paused the movie she was watching on her laptop, shooting daggers at me.“I’m sorry for ghosting you’, I pouted.“Nuh uh, don't give me that look, I ain't letting you off the hook that easily”, she shook her head at me. “You should also be apologizing for also not telling me you were in a relationship, you made me look like a fool setting all those dates for you which you never went on, now I know why”,

~ Veronica BeckhamThe D-day was ultimately here. To finally announce our engagement and clear all rumors people had been spreading about us. I woke up tired, dreading today. I was not really good with people, I didn't know how I was going to stand plastering a permanent fake smile on my face, my cheeks were going to hurt like hell. My parents decided not to come, they didn't want to be in front of the public eye especially if paparazzi and a lot of photographers and media houses were going to be there. But my sister wasn't going to miss something like this.According to her, this was the engagement of the century, the most anticipated one. She went shopping with Analisse a few days ago and like I predicted, they fell in love at first sight, they were glued to the hip, you would think they'd known each since forever. I was dropping her off at Mrs. Callaghan's house, she decided to get ready and leave for the hall from there.I haven't spoken to Arthur since the dinner I had with h

Immediately we got there, I was separated from Lilly and pushed into a room to begin. I had to take a quick shower, the makeup artist was already beating my face and the hair stylist started at the same. I was given a simple elegant look, with red bold lips, my hair super straightened with brown highlights. I slipped on my silver backless dress with a thigh-high split, and silver shoes to match, then was finally allowed to look in the mirror and when I did I was blown away. I looked like the sophisticated chic version of myself. A knock was heard on the door, “Come in”, the designer said. Arthur walked in. We both stared at each other, eating up the look, not moving until the makeup artist coughed, and my eyes snapped away from his. “We’re heading out now, enjoy your dinner”“Thanks”, I called after her, and she closed the door behind her.I could never get tired of seeing Arthur in a suit, right now I felt like the luckiest girl on earth.“You look stunning”, he walked up to me,

~Veronica Beckham A soft slow romantic jazz music was playing in the background. People grabbed partners to dance with and a lot of guys kept walking up to Reese to ask her to dance but she kept refusing them, saying they were not her type, but I felt she didn't want to leave me all alone so I didn't get too tipsy. She had been monitoring my drinks. We kept ourselves busy talking about the girls glaring at me, their loud makeup and dresses that looked like a club gown. A blonde head especially has been staring at me and attaching herself to Arthur. Every time I saw him, she was always nearby, caressing his cheeks, holding his hands. I could see he was uncomfortable, trying to pry her long nails off him. He kept sending me signals to come save him but I didn't. He should sort it out himself. Why the hell would he invite his flings to our engagement? I thought this kinda thing only happens in Soap Operas and reality tv shows, but here I was, entangled in this shit.I’d had just three

"Ewww Vee", Lilly gave me a disgusted look. Well, you weren't supposed to hear that. "It's gonna be fine Vee, nothing to worry about", Reese reassured."No it's not, you and I both know I don't do well being on stage"My anxiety skyrocketed.What if I tripped while climbing the stage and my dress split or what if anxiety got the best of me and I had a panic attack?Oh no!! "Calm the fuck down, Vee."I took a deep breath continuously, trying to relax. I began counting numbers in my head to distract me from overthinking.Grace joined us a few minutes later sitting opposite me. "Hey Vee, you look stunning in that dress""You too Grace", My voice sounded shaky.She did look really good, looking nothing like her age. I wouldn't haven't believed she was Arthur's mother if I had met her under other circumstances. I would have complimented her more, but I was too anxious to do so.She stared at me with worry, "Are you alright? You looked like you've seen a ghost""No, I'm fine""You sure?

~Veronica Beckham I watched as he strode towards us, smiling mischievously. Oh God, he already disliked me but now he hated me more now that I was engaged to Arthur, stopping him from getting the company. Why must there be a villain?"Mother and daughter, how wonderful", he cackled, his laughter so loud and wide, I could see his whole thirty-two teeth. I felt like ripping his teeth off.What he said drew the attention of people around, and they started staring."You know it's so disappointing. Here you are sipping champagne from the glass your mother served you at your proposal dinner you didn't invite her to", he shook his head at me.This was his plan all along, to make me look bad. The murmurs got louder, and people brought out their phones to take pictures. "You abandoned your parents to live a fake life, your sick paralyzed father is in the hospital while you're here having fun", he carried on, his voice getting louder."Wait, so she's poor?", a girl uttered, giving me a disgus

I tried to unhook the necklace but it wouldn't budge. "I'll help you", he walked up to me and brushed my fingers away, pushing my hair out of the way. He swiftly removed it, his touch setting my skin on fire. He trailed his hands over my back, I shivered and he paused, pulling away."Sorry", he mumbled, walking out of the room, and shutting the door.I stared at my flushed face. I could see the hickey he left on me clearly through the mirror. I peeled the dress off my body, stepped into the shower, and washed away the makeup and hair dye with his shampoo and body soap. Now I smelled like him, I loved it.I wrapped a towel around my hair and another one on my body.I realized I didn't have what to change into. I saw a shirt and shorts laid out on the bed. He must have entered the room, but I didn't hear him. The shower sound must have masked the door sound. I cleaned my body, and wore the clothes, my nipples poking through the shirt but I could care less. My hair was still wet and
