I didn't step out of my room the following day. I was still hungover and didn't feel like leaving the comfort of my room.

Besides I heard Vivienne’s phone occasionally barking orders around the house like she owned it. I preferred not to just have an encounter with her.

I had spoken to Taylor and she had apologized for leaving with the guy she met. But she had come back to look for me but I had already left.

She told me how she and the dude had hit it off and she was going on a date with him tonight. She sounded so giddy and I've never really seen her that way with a guy before. I hoped everything turned out fine for her and that she didn't get hurt. Taylor is very important to me.

We had been friends since we were 12.

I had also filled her in about the events of last night and she had screamed in both anger and surprise. Anger that Moris had done what he did, surprise that Aaron had shown up and helped me.

The mansion had a really large and well-tended garden that had a large swing i

  • The Stranger I Met On The Altar   When Mothers wound

    I was itching to hear what my mum and father-in-law were discussing so badly. I was so curious that I decided to go there, even if it meant being in my mum's breathing space.I walked closer to them hoping to catch something before they saw me.Perhaps I didn't move quickly enough because my mum saw me before I could get closer to them.Initially, Charles was backing in my direction, but it seemed my mum had given a signal or something because he suddenly turned and faced me.Shit.I almost wanted to turn back. Mission failed. I didn't want to have a conversation with either of them. But it was too late.“Elizabeth,” Charles said with a smile on his face. “You look beautiful as usual. Where's Aaron?” He asked looking around.I forced a smile and pointed in the direction I had seen Aaron.“I’ll excuse you two then” He gave my mum a knowing glance, and he walked away.My mum looked at him briefly as he left before returning her gaze to me. I tried my best to study their body language b

  • The Stranger I Met On The Altar   A dangerous spark

    The first few minutes of the car ride were quiet.I sat stiffly beside Aaron, every part of me aware of his presence.He had given me a slight nod of acknowledgment when I came down, but that was it.While his eyes remained fixated on the window, I couldn't help but steal glances at him occasionally.He looked dapper in his well-tailored tux. Effortlessly powerful and confident. He looked devastatingly handsome. It was maddening.After what had seemed like forever, he finally turned to me.“Elizabeth,” his voice was calm, but firm. “I need to throw in some rules”I rolled my eyes. What rules again this time?“The way you were dressed earlier today,” He paused slightly, as though choosing his words carefully.“You are no longer allowed to dress that way around the house, especially when I have visitors… male visitors,” he said.I shot him a glare, my annoyance building up.“Excuse me. I had no idea you were even home or that you had a visitor. It must be so sinful for a girl to dress c

  • The Stranger I Met On The Altar   Between two fires.

    Aaron’s POVWhen we got into the car, I quickly regretted inviting Ryan over.He had this smug irritating grin and I knew he was up to no good.“Damn bro,” he said as he leaned backward “Life is always so fair to you. It's not every day you have a gem handed to you on a platter of gold! You're so lucky man”I groaned. “What nonsense are you on about this time?”“Your wife is smoking hot, fuck! If I had met her even a day before your wedding day, I would have convinced her to jilt you for me, and we would run away to some islands, I'm not joking”“Was that why you looked like you wanted to undress her there and then?”He laughed. That motherfucker.“Was it noticeable? Those bare thighs though. Does she walk around the house like that? I wouldn't resist the urge to bend her over every single time if I were in your shoes”I clenched my jaw subconsciously. “Don't talk about my wife..” I stopped myself “Don’t talk about Elizabeth in that manner”That familiar mischievous glint returned to

  • The Stranger I Met On The Altar   Cruel timing

    Elizabeth’s POV.I was cooped up in my room for a week. I didn't step out. Everything I needed was brought up to my room by either Heather or Anna.But earlier today, Heather came up with a note from Aaron saying we had a gala to attend. It was to celebrate the successful merger of Knight Corp and VD Industries, meaning my parents would be there.I squirmed at the thought of seeing my mother.“How could he give me less than 12hours’ notice? I have nothing to wear!” I exclaimed to Heather.“A stylist is waiting downstairs for you ma'am. I can call her up if you don't feel like going down” Heather responded.My face lit up at the sound of that. “Stylist? Who sent for the stylist? Please don't tell me it's my mother”“Mr. Aaron sent for the stylist ma'am. Should I send her up?”“No. I'll be down in a minute”She nodded and left.I rolled my eyes at the thought of Aaron sending a stylist. It was a good thing since he had informed me at very short notice. Who even does that? He must have t

  • The Stranger I Met On The Altar   A sight to behold

    I didn't take up his coffee offer. Not because I wasn't happy to see him or eager for a catch-up, but just not today.Not when there was a whirlwind going on inside of me. I didn't want to get all emotional.I wanted to be composed and have all my emotions in check when we finally sat down to talk.So we exchanged phone numbers - again, and I drove away.As I drove, I could still feel my heart beating. I was trying to figure out what I was feeling, what it meant to see him again. If I still loved him, wanted him.I felt the pain and loneliness from all those years kick back in.When he left, we had spoken over the phone a few times for the first few weeks. But then the calls and the texts stopped coming. And his line became unreachable.He had changed his number and deactivated all social media accounts.Seeing him again was a mix of good and bad feelings. Good because it felt good seeing him again, and he looked like his life had turned out really nicely. And I was happy for him. He

  • The Stranger I Met On The Altar   First love reunion.

    Noah.The only man I had ever loved.He still looked the same as the last time I saw him. But more mature, and hotter.Same dark eyes that always saw right through me. Same jawline I used to trace with my fingertips when we lay tangled in the sheets.I blinked, unsure if I was dreaming.He took a hesitant step towards me. “It’s really you Pumpkin”I swallowed at the mention of the nickname he had given me when we were dating.My insides were a mess, my entire vessel upside down but I gave a bright smile, trying to mask the turmoil going on inside me right now.“Noah. It's been a while. What are you doing here?” I asked.He moved closer, crouched, picked up the car keys that had fallen, and handed them to me.“I moved back to Atlanta,” he said “I got an offer I couldn't resist”He looked breathtaking in his beige-colored pants, white inner shirt, and brown leather jacket. Very prim. Very proper. His hair was shorter than I remembered.“Nice. Fancy meeting you here” I said.It's been fo
