SKYLAR

She raised her chin high eyeing the moving car with an expressionless face. She licked her lips which she felt were dry, though it wasn't.

She hemmed a sigh, her throat felt dry from the shock she received earlier, everything happened so far that she didn't understand her feelings anymore.

Her mind was restlessly processing the whole thing while her foolish heart was making it hard for her to feel sad or cry. Isn't she supposed to get heavily mad at Anthony Roberto for pushing her into this immediate marriage but there was nothing like that! she is trying so hard to get crazily annoyed but it isn't happening.

What her stepfather has done to her is not right. This can ruin her life forever but her heart doesn't seem to hold any grudges against him for this particular sin that he has committed against her freedom.

" probably because he has done me a favor" It's crazy but that is what her heart says.

She traced her steps to her apartment building toward the elevator. On second thought, she decided against it and turned to take a walk to melt her hard face and gather her thoughts together. Her emotions were falling apart.

She can't risk telling the girls about it. Where would she start and how would she end it? it doesn't make any sense, just a few hours ago before leaving the apartment she was the simple single Skylar but can't say the same about now!

How was she going to tell them without hurting their feelings? and also the relocation issue, she needs to think of a perfect explanation for their " wired marriage" Wired indeed, she muttered under her breath.

It is weird to think of how everything happened. She doesn't want them to have this mindset that they don't matter to her. That is her fear, what she doesn't want to happen.

Tina and Juliet, we're her only companions, of course not anymore. Though Juliet is bitch and a badass with the most horrible personality she still considers her a good friend despite her rudeness.

The elevator dinged and the small figure of Cynthia swayed toward her "Hey Sky, are you okay?" the familiar voice invaded her thoughts. This is what she wanted to avoid. There is no possibility that Tina and Juliet wouldn't see her swift mood.

She turned her gaze to meet Cynthia's smiling face, her eyes roaming on her from head to toe " You look beautiful, what is the occasion?" she said walking alongside her still checking her out.

The ground-level red dress did add value to her personality. If she happened to be good in the market, she would have attracted several buyers by now. She didn't look like the simple Skylar girl she used to be, she looked all different like some sort of rich princess.

" red does look good on you" she completed with a nod giving off a small cheek smile "Thanks" she shrugged. She is not used to receiving comments like that " I can give you a ride you know, that is if you are going my way" she tapped her shoulder "Just taking a walk" she answered. Thanks to her wedding dress, she has grabbed the interest of a tomboy. Geez!! is she telling her that she is ugly without her wedding dress??

Cynthia is her coursemate, one of the many girls she gets along with. Cynthia is a tomboy who lives her life on the college premises without friends. You hardly see her mingling with the others.

She hardly communicates with others or sees herself around people she will call friends as most girls do. " be careful, it's late though" she advised and jumped into her sports car.

Cynthia is like a rich kid. She thinks so because she looks like one. Though she appears different her vibes give her away. It's not common to see a Princess working and less a stripper in some nightclubs.

Skylar stared at her as she rode off in her red expensive sports car waving at her. She smiled back and strode down the road. Her arms wrapped around her chest. The night breeze was as cold as the savanna forest.

The street was quiet for an unknown reason perhaps it was late. She still has a puzzle to solve. The handsome face of Damon displayed in her mind and the quick kiss they shared on the altar or should I call it a peck?

Skylar lifted her left hand to touch her bottom lip " Gush! Sky" she puffed. Her voice came in a low tone. It felt like his charming soft perfect lips were still on hers. The feeling of his lips was very good, it was like Sky was obsessed with Mr. Willy since she was fighting her mind not to think of love.

She stroll on the road without minding where her damn legs were taking her. She was so much encumbered in the memory of her hottie husband, Damon Willy the man she got married to a few hours ago.

Thinking of Damon, she nothing about him but his looks alone is evidence that he is a wealthy man. No wonder those women were flirting with their eyes around him, she chuckled.

The memory of the young woman trying to get his attention made her frown at the thought of it.

It's crazy today but it is clear she has a lot of fights ahead in the future.

She opened her black shining purse in search of her phone to do some public analysis on Damon. Reading a little information about him in the public space won't hurt, right?

Unfortunately, her cell was not in her purse. She didn't realize her damn feet were walking in the middle of the road. She was so serious about searching for her phone.

It's kind of confusing, she couldn't get where she might have placed it, if not in her small black purse.

A black car was running towards her from behind. It rained in light-blocking her sight. She was taken by surprise so she trembled and fall on her ass with the car stopping just in front of her nose.

The driver did very well if not he would have run her over.

She was as scared as death. For a moment, she thought her mother was coming for her, she thought she would be joining her family in the invisible world.

She looked like a scared mouse sitting on her ass with her eyes shut as if afraid of witnessing something that may be ready to embrace the pain of broken bones.

She smelled a familiar scent, her brain alerted her of a present but her eyes refused to open.

" are you going to remain like this?" the sweetest deep voice she has ever heard rang in her ears. She didn't want to open her eyes and be disappointed.

He just dropped her over. it can't be him no! Or maybe she is dead already? She shook her head. Her mink must be playing tricks on her.

This is it Sky! Her eyes were out of her control. They are doing as they please. After hesitating for a while enough to draw a circle, she finally lifted her long black lashes.
