Emily's POV

The world stopped.

Alexander's lips were soft but firm against mine, and for a moment, I forgot how to breathe. My eyes widened in shock, my body frozen in place as my brain tried to catch up with what was happening.

This stranger. This man I had just met. Was kissing me. In front of everyone.

Then, just as quickly as it started, it was over. Alexander pulled back, his hand still resting on my waist, looking down at me with those intense dark eyes.

"Shall we go?" he asked softly, as

    Emily's POVThe world stopped.Alexander's lips were soft but firm against mine, and for a moment, I forgot how to breathe. My eyes widened in shock, my body frozen in place as my brain tried to catch up with what was happening.This stranger. This man I had just met. Was kissing me. In front of everyone.Then, just as quickly as it started, it was over. Alexander pulled back, his hand still resting on my waist, looking down at me with those intense dark eyes."Shall we go?" he asked softly, as if he hadn't just turned my world upside down.I couldn't speak. Couldn't think. All I could do was nod.The room had erupted in whispers. I could hear my mother's sharp intake of breath, could see Karen's face turning red with rage, could feel dozens of eyes burning into my back.Alexander guided me toward the door, his hand never leaving my waist. I moved on autopilot, my legs somehow remembering how to walk even though my mind was spinning.We made it outside before I found my voice."What t

    Emily's POV"Who was that?" Tasha whispered again, nudging me with her elbow."I told you, I have no idea," I said, still staring at the spot where the mysterious man had been standing.There was something about him. Something in the way he looked at me, like he could see right through all the pain and hurt I was trying so hard to hide. It made me feel exposed and seen at the same time."Well, he was definitely checking you out," Tasha said with a grin. "See? I told you that dress was a good choice."Before I could respond, the balcony door opened and Karen stepped out. Of course. I couldn't even have five minutes of peace."There you are," she said, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "I've been looking for you.""What do you want, Karen?" I asked, not bothering to hide the irritation in my voice.She walked closer, and I noticed she was holding a glass of champagne. Her third one, from the looks of it. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes had that glassy look people get when th

    Emily's POVI stared at the pack of condoms in my hand, my heart pounding so hard I thought it might burst out of my chest. Louis stood in the doorway, his face pale as he struggled to find the right words."Who are these for?" I asked again, my voice steadier than I felt.He seemed to stutter, his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. Finally, he managed to wheeze out, "It's for a friend. I was just helping him hold it."I shook my head at his pathetic attempt to lie. Even now, even when caught red-handed, he couldn't give me the truth."Liar!" I yelled, my voice breaking. "You think I don't see it? You think I don't see the blog posts? You're getting married to Karen? You're getting married to my own sister!"His shoulders relaxed, as though he knew there was no point in denying it anymore. The relief on his face made me sick."I didn't want you to find out this way," he began, his voice calm now. Too calm. "We were going to talk about it with you over dinner tonight.

    Emily's POVThe garden was my favourite place especially at night. Growing up, I knew I had a thing for gardening. I took my time to sniff the flowers enjoying the pleasant scent they enamated, enjoying the joy that filled me as I watched them bloom.This was my childhood, sitting on the old swing and watching nature unfold before me.I sat there now, shaking in my thin dress and a part of me began to wish I had brought a little shawl.It would have gone a long way in protecting my frail arms from the biting cold.I could feel a cold coming up but I did not mind. I would sit out here for a while, at least until I garnered enough courage to step back inside that party.My thoughts were interrupted as a warm jacket was placed over my shoulder, nearly making me jump out of my skin.The man that stood in front of me was regal to say the least.He was tall and finely built, his hair styled in a way that I could not comprehend and his fine chiseled jaw looking like he had stepped right out

    I scoffed inwardly. I spotted Karen a few moments ago. She was putting on a backless dress that left nothing to the imagination. I found it irritating that she thought she could school me when her own precious daughter was dressed like an online slut." I won't be taking it off mum. You should go check on the kitchen staff" I said, ignoring the slight twinge of guilt that pricked my heart.I would never talk so rudely to her. But she deserved it. Not after all her ruthless attitude towards me the moment she got back the daughter that she loved.Her face turned a bright shade of pink as she stared at me." Don't you dare talk to me like that" she said, gritting her teeth.I refused to meet her gaze as I tried to walk away.I could hear her audible gasp as I walked into the party, my legs shaking from the encounter I just had with her." I did not think you would come" Louis said, looking me dead in the eye." Why? Because you decided to get married to my slut of a sister? They are stil

    Emily's POVHe seemed to stutter to find the right word, seemed to be waiting for a miracle that could free him out of the trap he had walked right into." It's for a friend, I was just helping him hold it" he finally managed to wheez out.I shook my head again his pathetic attempt to lie." Liar! You think I don't see it? You think I don't see the blog posts? You are getting married to Karen? You are getting married to my own sister!" I yelled at him and he seemed to relax, as though he knew it was not worth lying about anyways." I did not want you to find out this way, we were going to talk about it with you over dinner tonight. I already talked to your parents and..." He was beginning to say but I did not want to hear it." You talked to my parents and what? They allowed you to do the little switch between their daughters? Do you even think I'm a joke to you!" I yelled at him.The tears were beginning to prick my eyes now and I felt like a weakling, trying to hold them from droppi
