"She could've died."

"I know."

"You're telling me that someone was actually trying to hurt my daughter and her baby that night." It wasn't a question that slipped out from between Celia's lips but rather an accusation. Her intense gaze eventually rested on Aria’s face, and it didn't take rocket science for Aria to have guessed what thoughts were racing through her mind at that moment.

"That's what she said. But sometimes..." Aria began before haltin

  • THE DAY MY BESTFRIEND STOLE MY FIANCE   ONE LIE AND ONE TRUTH

    It would be the last time.Before Adrian departed, they'd both agreed. It'd be the last time they'd be close in a way that two friends shouldn't be.They'd not been intimate per se, but that didn't matter. He was to be a married man in five short days and she was not the woman who he'd swear to love 'til death do them part.But why when he slipped into his own home in the early hours of the morning and was welcomed with Isolde who had waited up for him did he feel not only a sense of despair and emptiness but a sense of sorrow as though something that could've been had been lost."Hey." The voice rang from within her softly, for she'd been crying only hours before. Not because she was a weak woman who needed a man to love and hold her but because for the second time in the past six months, she felt she was losing someone that had become a part of her very being.Eight years, nearly a decade. If something that had lasted that lon

  • THE DAY MY BESTFRIEND STOLE MY FIANCE   LAST TIME

    " I have come to realise that I'm probably the last person you want to hear from right now. But...it kills me that I had to hear about what happened to Marcus from a complete stranger and it hurts even more that I didn't get to see him one last time, that I wasn't even invited to the funeral...You're probably wondering why I'm leaving you this message and to be honest, I'm wondering the same because I know whatever I say to you is completely futile. I realise that nothing I say can ever make up for those childhood years that you and Marcus lost because of me and your father. But I can spend the rest of my life trying to be here for you. So Aria, if you do need someone to talk to, not just about Marcus but about anything as stupid and small as it may be, I'm always here for you and you have my number now too so..."Aria threw her phone away and onto the carpet below, frustrated at the mere sound of the voice, listening to the voicemail recording from her stepmom had left for her but r

  • THE DAY MY BESTFRIEND STOLE MY FIANCE   HIDDEN EMOTIONS

    When you really think about it, you realise how funny life actually is as a concept. All of us are living our own versions of life, but how many of us actually want to be here? How many of us have an actual purpose to keep on living?Marcus did. Marcus wanted to be here. Marcus had a purpose to keep going on every single day. He was a good son, a great brother, an amazing lover, and the best friend anyone could've hoped for. Yet, out of everyone, his death had been written first.Aria struggled to come to terms with the fact that her older brother, her inspiration and her only remaining hope had left her. What hurt the most was perhaps the fact that she was the cause. One poor decision she'd made had cost her brother his life, and she'd have to live with that mere fact for the rest of her own pathetic life. Except, now there was no reason for her to keep going on, was there?Adrian was riddled with guilt, too. Hours before the funeral had taken place

  • THE DAY MY BESTFRIEND STOLE MY FIANCE   PRICE OF HER MISTAKE

    The car zoomed towards the Hotel. The black-suited person jumped back slightly in shock, turning their head as they did so. No face was visible, but the tiny wisps of curled chocolate hair came into view. And both Aria and Matteo only had one word on their lips as his body was flung over the car hood. Adrian. Adrian. Adrian. Seconds seemed to blur into hours as Matteo and Aria remained seated in the car, the body no longer in view as the car had driven uncontrollably fast, leaving the body located somewhere behind the car's rear. Aria could feel the tiny spits of perspiration forming on her skin, leaving her hands clammy to the touch. She refused to turn to face Matteo, but also she refused to get out of the car, for she didn't wish to confirm what she already thought to be true. Only a few people had witnessed the dreadful accident, and those who were there had rushed to the crime scene, whereas those who were dancing the night away in the hall remained completely oblivious to

  • THE DAY MY BESTFRIEND STOLE MY FIANCE   EX PROBLEM

    Aria scuttled into the female toilets after her horrific yet bizarre encounter with Celia only minutes before. She apprehensively rushed through the swarms of guests in the hall, struggling to contain her emotions. Through her peripheral vision, she noticed Adrian making his way towards her, but she immediately quickened her pace and continued rushing towards the opposite direction. The thoughts of what they'd been up to only half an hour ago suddenly seemed abhorrent to her, and she felt dirty as the memories washed over her.She entered the tiny bathroom and was welcomed by a sallow-looking Isolde gazing at herself in the mirror. Isolde gyrated her body towards her friend as soon as she heard the door open."Oh my god, what happened to your hair?" Isolde gasped, hands flying towards her mouth in response to Aria’s messy mane. Aria was forced to remember the impact on her skull as the strands of hair had been forcefully wrenched out by the turbulent force that had been Celia."Nothin

  • THE DAY MY BESTFRIEND STOLE MY FIANCE   THE BIG REVEAL

    "Adrian is having an affair. He's been cheating on you for months!" Marcus blurted out quickly. In that moment, Isolde could've sworn her heart stopped beating, the oxygen stopped entering her lungs, and she, herself, stopped being. She felt void from the inside out. As desolate as the current state of her womb. "What? Wh-what the hell are you saying, Marcus?" Her voice emerged as rough, jagged breaths. "I'm so sorry, Isolde...I know I should've said something earlier, but..." He stopped in his tracks as she held her hand up, indicating for him to stop. He noticed the colour drain from her already pasty pale skin. "How? How...How can this even be true?!" She continued, her gaze drifting down to the floor beneath her. But suddenly she glanced back up towards Marcus, her stare suddenly much more accusing. "This is one of your jokes, isn't it? You've said some stupid things, but this really isn't fun
