Chapter 21

~ Kesley ~

I woke up feeling like death.

My eyes were puffy and swollen from crying myself to sleep. My head was pounding from too much wine. My heart felt like someone had taken a sledgehammer to it.

I stared at my ceiling, replaying last night over and over.

Amanda's perfect smile. Dan's oblivious happiness. That casual "she's like a sister to me" that had gutted me like a fish.

When would it be my turn?

That's what I kept thinking as I dragged myself out of bed, as I stood in the

  • The Billionaire's Binding Proposal   ~ 149

    Chapter 149~Taraji~My mum had reached out to me that she wanted to see me. I didn't want to burden Kesley so I figured I would tell her later. I was going to meet up with her at the Casio Palace. I am sure my dad was not aware of this. And I am very sure the direction this conversation was going to go. Listen to your dad, he knows what's best and blah blah. Sometimes I wish that they just see that this is actually what I want. I walked in and saw my mum sitting in a booth. She was practically glowing. I got my skin from her.She must have ordered for a wine before I got here because I can see one on the table. My mother's favourite was the red wine. “Hi mum.” I said, while sitting down next to her. “Taraji. Look at you. You are getting all skinny, your skin is getting ruined. Come back home please, just listen to your father. You know whatever he's doing, it's the best for you.” That just flared me up. “Not by marrying someone I don't love. Do you want me to be stuck in a lo

    Chapter 148~Kesley~After that, we did not talk again till he got to my house and dropped me off. It wasn't awkward. It was just us taking it all in.It was quite silent now and Todd's pork place was already closed. I walked to my apartment and met everything in place. This must have been Taraji’s work. Because mum has been in the hospital all day. I needed to talk to Taraji and asked her how she was, with the whole family situation especially after being cut from her allowance. I had gotten so lost in the whole fianceé thing that I forgot to check on my friend and ask her what she plans to do. I removed the ring and put it inside the box. Making my mum suspicious won't be the best option now. I still haven't explained the whole money situation to her. Tomorrow was my sister's surgery. And I was anxious. The dinner had taken my mind off it but now, it was just me and my thoughts. I took off my dress and showered. It bad been a long night. I took my phone and got a text from Nikl

    Chapter 147~Kesley~So far so good, it was going well at the dinner. Niklaus really had a sweet family, well except his step sister of course. Who has been trying not to break her facade. If Niklaus hadn't told me who she is, I would have said she is not a bad person. Her husband looking so meek beside her. He was obviously anxious and seems very shy. How did they get married? I guess opposite attracts better. Niklaus' dad just praised me. After successfully analysing what Rebecca asked me. I felt proud of myself and incredibly happy. If there was one thing I was proud of, it is my skills. Just as after the doorbell rang and someone went to open the door. To my sheer shock, it was the rude brat Taraji and I met yesterday. What was she doing here? Taraji needs to hear about this ASAP. “Good evening Mr. Spectre.” She said sweetly, a little bit too sweetly. Niklaus went very still beside me. His shoulder was tense. He gripped my hands tightly under the table. “Good evening. And

    Chapter 146~Nikalus~Beautiful is an understatement. She looked like a goddamn goddess. I could tell that she was nervous. So I took her hands in mine to calm her nerves. She was going to be amazing, I know. She had handled the call with grandfather and my father so well. And naturally, she had a good attribute to her. Maybe that's why I couldn't even hate her the first time I met her. I decided not to say anything just let the soft music play in the background. It will ease the tension. It took about 45 mins to drive to the Specter's mansion. I drove in and parked. I had seen Rebecca's car. She had come earlier I suppose. Trying to see who the person I had brought is. Perfect.I got out and opened the door for her. I held her hand. “Don't worry Kesley, just be you. It will definitely go well. Remember, Rebecca will want to get to your skin, don't give her the chance to. Besides, I will be there. You can just hold my hands throughout. And also, remember we are expected to be a co

    Chapter 145~Kesley~ “Excuse you?” Taraji had responded to her. “Yes. You scrawny looking things. You won't buy a dress, then leave it. Who still window shop these days?” Then she laughed out in a sarcastic way. “And who told you we were window shopping? Just like you, we are here to shop and pay.” I said firmly. “It doesn't seem that way to me. You were looking at the dress. Like you wanted to steal it and run off.” Now, I was angry. I hate been called a thief. More than anything. “At this point, I will just believe you are blind and lack basic knowledge. Because, obviously, you can see we are holding shopping bags and they are surely not empty.” I said calmly. She looked red due to the fact that I have embarrassed her because few people snickered. Taraji laughed out loud. Making her more embarrassed. She walked over to the other side, stomping her feet as she turned. Too bad, beauty without a brain. Although, I can't quite place it but she looked a bit familiar. Maybe it is

    Chapter 144 ~Kesley~ Taraji had been calling me Kesley Rose since yesterday. She did not let me breathe about it. I had finally put a text through to Nilakaus. Thank you for the rose. It smells lovely.He responded. You are welcome Kesley. See you on Wednesday.His text left a sudden realization to me that I did not have an outfit to wear to the Specter's dinner. I needed something that was elegant enough and I did not have that. “Do not tell me you are thinking of wearing that black dress you saved for the day you and Dan would “officially go out”.” She said mimicking my voice. How I had saved the dress he had given me for birthday two years ago but did not get to wear it. I gave her a deadpanned look. “I am not going to calm your horse girl. That is why you are going to be my shopping buddy today.” She screamed loudly. Thank God we were the only ones at home. She had gotten back from school, I met her at home after leaving the hospital with the aim to go and shop. She was sup

Some explanation for why comparing me to a small African rodent had seemed like a reasonable course of action.B
