Tick ...tock.I had a raging headache and I was all to blame. My body hurt and I wondered if I had gotten into a fight. I opened my eyes and immediately regretted it. Why would anyone open their windows after a night out?Wait where was I?I opened my eyes this time round I did not care if they stung. I was not at my place and neither was I at either of my friend's places.I could feel a body beside me and I was scared. What had I done?Did I come home with someone?"Calm down it's me ", an unfamiliar voice said and I wondered why they would. think I know them.I turned around to come face-to-face with her. Her blonde hair was even prettier when it was in a messy bun. Her button nose sat perfectly on her pretty face."What am I doing here ?", I asked her as I sat up. "Sleeping, what does it look like you're doing ", she said scoffing. "I meant what am I doing at your place why am I not at my house ?", I asked her.I had no recollection of the night before. Everything was a blur a
VANESSA'S POV "Positive "A world that could be so much, good and bad. I still hadn't wrapped my head around it. I stood there like a zombie. I could see the blondie's mouth moving but I could not hear anything she was saying.I felt like I was caged and I couldn't breathe. My vision was starting to get hazy and my legs weaker as I stared at the test that was clutched in her hand.It couldn't be true there was no way it was true.It couldn't be positive maybe she had read it all wrong. I could feel the world closing in on me.I wasn't even crying anymore I just stood there in shock as someone who had found out someone had died."Vanessa ", she said tapping me and I turned to look at her. It was only then that I allowed the tears to flow."It can't be true ", I said amid tears."Baby it's true ", she said as I sat down on her bathroom floor. I didn't care if it was clean or dirty I just wanted to sit down before my legs gave up. It can't be. I couldn't have just ruined my life like t
VANESSA'S POV. The silence in the car as we drove over to Austin's house did not bother me. I did not know how I was even going to tell him. I was pregnant.I didn't know how he was going to react. I knew what my choices were but they were not what I wanted. I had never been in such a position before so I had no idea what to do. I had never even thought I would get pregnant, to begin with. I had turned into what I had hated. I had turned into my mum and I hated that discovery. It wasn't like she wasn't a good person or a good mum, she was just sad. She had spent all her life being a mum and I did not want to be her.We were her everything it was as if her life revolved around us. We were all she knew and I sometimes wondered what would have happened if she had never gotten pregnant with me.I always wondered what her life was like in another lifetime. Did she get to pursue her dreams and get everything she always wanted?Was she happy?What did she even look like? My father was th
ANA'S POV This was not how I had imagined my life to turn out. I had thought that I would be having fun when I was twenty one not stuck in a loveless marriage.People always said that one had multiple choices but it ain't seem so to me because life kept making me wonder why I was even alive in the first place.I was living every girl's dream but it seemed like torture. Every girl wanted to be married to a rich guy who gave them everything they wanted and I had all that but I still wasn't happy.Maybe money wasn't always the solution to happiness. You could not use it to buy affection for the guy that you wanted.Every day was the same it was like I was living the same day over and over again. Wake up take a shower get ready, take breakfast and do whatever I pleased to do for the rest of the day.I had not seen Vincenzo for over two weeks and we had barely talked either I know what it sounds like, that am a bad wife but I wasn't really.That was what he wanted and I gave him that. He
ANA'S POV"Am not going ", I said."And why is that ?", he asked me."I just don't feel like going am I supposed to do everything that you say ?", I asked him."You're coming end of the discussion ", he said as he walked away to his room.Six months we had been married and we had never slept in the same bed. It was not that I was complaining but that was not how I had imagined marriage to be.I had thought it was this beautiful thing but each day that I spent with him I thought otherwise. I know people would think that I was a coward but I had no choice.He paid for Immaculate's medication, my stepmother without him would be dead. So I would rather be miserable that see her dead.I stood up from the dining room and went in the direction of his room. Just because he made all the rules didn't mean I had to follow them.I opened the door without knocking and at that moment I thought about why I had done that. I should never have. If I had just been a good wife and listened to everything
ANA'S POV"We're going to be late, what is taking you so long ?", I heard Vincenzo shouting from the corridor."She'll be out in a minute ", said Armando.I looked at my reflection in the mirror and I had never looked so gorgeous before. The smokey eye makeup that Armando had decided to go with really made the whole outfit pop out.My hair was in curls and tied up at the top of my head showing off my perfect jaw. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled."I'm ready ", I said as I stood up."Okay come on let's go, "said Armando as he opened the door for me.I made my way down the stairs struggling a bit probably due to the platforms I had decided to wear. I could see Vincenzo on his phone and he looked well like he looked every day.I had never seen anyone wear a suit better than he did. He looked up from his phone and I could tell by the look on his face that he was shocked. I tried to hide the smile on his lips but I had already seen it. He put the phone back in his pocket as he
VINCENZO'S POV I was taken aback by how she looked. I had never seen her dressed up or have any makeup on her face. I always thought that she was beautiful but I was just caught off guard.I wanted to tell her how it felt to have the prettiest woman in my arms but I knew she didn't care about that. She did t even want to go to the ball in the first place.She has just agreed to it because she didn't want to fight with me. She had found me with a woman on my head and didn't say a thing. Just stood there when Aurora called her my maid and didn't say anything.How stupid of me to think that she would even want me? She only married me because she was benefiting something from our union.I could see all the men looking at me wishing they were the ones that were with her and not me. She looked anxious as she took a glass of champagne and drank it."Are you okay ?", I asked her."Yeah ", she said as she smiled at me.I saw Arturo with some of the board members and I had to go say hello. It
VINCENZO'S POV"So do you like him?", I asked her as she swayed with the soft rhythm music."Like who ?", she asked.She knew who exactly j was talking about and she still wanted me to say it."Dylan ", I said."Why do you ask it's not like it matters to you ", she said as she looked up at me."You are my wife of course I care ", I said snickering."It didn't seem so when you left with that woman ", she said and I let out a chuckle."So all this is about her ?", I asked her."Can we please dance so that you can go back to her she seems mad, considering am your maid", she said sarcastically.At that moment I felt guilty. Guilty for standing there as I watched Aurora shame her without even uttering a word. I did not think that it was important but as I looked at the sadness in her eyes as she said it I felt like the most horrible person ever."I didn't have sex with her if that is what you are wondering ", I said hoping it would at least make her feel better."I don't care ", she said a
