"I will make sure that you will be mine at the end. I will make sure that you and I end up together. You will beg me to fuck you so hard, just like you did in the past.

Erika's POV.
"The necklace looks so good on you." Raven complimented me with a very huge smile on her face, and immediately she helped me with the necklace on my neck. I touched the diamond necklace that was given to me by my future in-laws.
It looked so good, and it matched with my white long dress. I would be getting married today. It was really a happy day in my life, and words can't express how happy I was.
I stood up from the chair, and admired my body shape that I could see through the mirror. "We should get going now. The guests must be waiting for us at the church." Raven reminded me, while she stared at the wristwatch that was right on her wrists.
I grabbed my crystal purse that was on top of the drawer, while she walked right behind me. We entered the car that was sent to pick us up at his house. My parents must be at the location already.
We were almost at the church. I was still finding it hard to believe that I would be getting married to him after four years of being together with him. Even though it was supposed to be a contract marriage, it happened that we both happened to fall in love, and that was the best part of it.
"Finally!" I muttered under my breath when we got to the church. I came down from my car, while I walked towards the entrance of the door. Raven walked right at my back as my best friend.
I looked right into the church and noticed that he wasn't there yet. I had to look at my wristwatch to confirm if I was not too early.
"The bride is here already." One of the guests announced this while all of them stared at me.
What is happening? I could see his dad walking to the entrance. "We have been trying his number, but it was switched off. It looked like he ran away." His dad informed me, while I squinted my eyes, knowing that it was not true.
"Have you tried calling his friend?" I questioned Charles's father.
"We tried his number; he told us that he couldn't reach him either." His father answered me. I touched my head in frustration. Why did he have to act this way on the most important day of my life?
"You don't have to ruin your makeup. We will just wait for him." He held my arm while he assisted me into the church.
"You don't have to feel bad." His mother, who was right by my side, told me while she patted my shoulder. They should do something about it. They had the power to find his location right now, and nothing was going to happen.
That was how powerful the family was.
Some of the guests were already complaining, while others were going. Why would he decide to humiliate me this way? After a few minutes of waiting, I heard that familiar voice.
It was that of Charles. He was here already. I looked back, and I was stunned to see him standing with a lady. He was with the popular actress. I squinted my eyes, hoping that I wasn't seeing the wrong thing.
"Why is he this way? Did you two have a fight before now?" His mother questioned me while I nodded my head in disapproval. There was no reason why the both of us would fight.
Anytime we fought, we would make sure to sort things out on that day, or a day before.
"No, mom." I answered her.
"I am so sorry if I came late." He apologized while he reached the front of the church. I looked at him, and the way he held the lady's wrist.
It looked as if he was so happy. "I am so sorry for coming late." He apologized again. He then looked at me, and I looked at him.
I was still confused by what was happening. I stood up from where I was sitting, and then walked up to him.
"What do you think you are up to? Why are you with her?" I questioned him. He diverted his gaze towards me.
"I am so sorry, Erika." He told me. He looked at the famous actress, who was right at his side, and then kissed her at my front. It was a very intense kiss.
I was expecting the guests to throw a tantrum, but it looked like they were really happy. It looked like they planned all of this. The tears were swelling up my eyes. I tried to hold it, but my emotions got the best of me.
Why would he decide to humiliate me this way? He then stopped kissing her immediately, and looked at the whole crowd.
"Miranda is mine. She is the one I like, and I am sorry for all that happened here." He apologized to the whole crowd. They all cheered him up instead.
I looked at his parents, and they weren't doing anything to stop him. After all the bonds that we shared together, this was the way that they decided to repay me? I thought they loved me as their future daughter-in-law, but it happened that they were waiting for this day also.
"Evans! Are you joking right now? If this is a joke or some sort of prank, it is better for you to stop now." I commanded him, and then he let out a soft chuckle.
"You fell for all my lies all these years?" He let go off Miranda's hand, while he walked closer to me, so that there was barely any space between us. "I never loved you from the start. I only use you for your body." He told me right in my ear.
I grabbed the necklace that was on my neck. "You are so evil." I shouted at him, while I threw the necklace and ran out of the church. "Erika! Wait?" I heard Raven's voice.
I bet she must be running after me also. "Taxi!" I shouted after I saw a can coming, and entered.
"Where are you going, ma'am?" He questioned.
"Just take me away from here." I instructed him while he drove off. I cleaned off my tears while I thought about those words he said to me earlier. It felt sharper than a two-edged sword.
I didn't know what a two-edged sword was like, but it was way more painful than that.
****
My feet were sore from walking barefooted on the silent road. I didn't know where I was going to. I don't know my destination or my location. Furthermore, I just wanted to be lost, and never be found. My heels were right in my hand while I kept on walking.
I felt that nausea immediately. I felt like vomiting. Furthermore, I went to a corner while I let it all out. I guess it was the stress.
"This is where you have been, Erika." Raven was here already. I wondered how she got to find me. I didn't bother to reply to her, while I acted like nothing happened.
"You have to stop all of this, and come back home with me." She urged me.
"You don't have to act..." I didn't let her complete her sentence before being interrupted.
"Act what? Do you know the kind of humiliation that I went through? Four years with him were a joke. Huh? Do you know how painful that sounds?" I questioned her, while she just let out a huge sigh again.
"I just want to..." I felt nauseous again, while I ran to the corner to let it all out. "You have to rest, Erika." Raven told me while she patted my back. I was feeling so dizzy that I could barely see anything.
Everywhere was getting blurry—not until I fell to the ground, feeling lifeless!
*BLACKOUT*
The ceiling was really blurry. I opened my eyes slowly, while I noticed that I was in a very unfamiliar environment. I remembered all that happened yesterday at the church, which made me sighed deeply.
Furthermore, I raised my head slowly, and then saw the doctor discussing it with Raven. I didn't know what the two talked about, because he left immediately. Raved turned back to look at me and said that I was awake already.
"You are awake." I could see the sorrow in her eyes. Why is she sad? Was it because of what happened yesterday? "What did your doctor tell you?" I asked her out of curiosity.
I remembered that I had fainted last night; maybe I was sick or something. Or could it be a terminal disease?
She held my hand immediately when when when she got to where I was. "The doctor said that you are pregnant." She announced it to me.
Chapter 37.Luca's POV.I wished she realized how much she was hurting me with those words. I thought I was tripping at first when she said she was falling for me, but I didn't realize she wasn't sure about it yet.She was probably saying gibberish too because she was drunk. "You should sleep." I mentioned to her before she was finally able to let go off her.I wanted to know what and who made her like this. Furthermore, I just left her in the dining and within a few minutes she was outside already. My hand reached for my pocket, bringing out my phone while I dialed one of the security man who I was affiliated with."Can you please check the security cameras around the restaurant and let me know who Ria met with?" I texted him and then mentioned the name of the restaurant afterward.He knew Ria and he usually help me with a few personal stuffs which had been helpful so far. I took a last glance at her and she was fast asleep already.I walked back up to her as I then used the duvet t
Chapter 50Erika's POV."Mom! Dad! Were you really murdered? Were you murdered or it was something else? I need an answer from you two." I was currently at my parent's grave with the tears flowing down my eyes."You have been here for the past two hours. It will soon rain." I heard David voice that was right behind me."You can go. We would get to talk later." I informed him, and he rubbed his head with his hand in frustration. "You know there was no way I would allow you to stay here alone." He answered me, while he sat right beside me."I feel like you should meet with him, and ask him for the truth. That way you would be able to know the real truth about everything." He added, and I slowly looked at him."Are you sure he wouldn't do something like that? I bet that was the reason why he had been avoiding me for the past few years. That was the reason why he couldn't beat to marry me." I tried to hold back my tears, but they disappointed me again.He moved close to me, and made me c
Chapter 49Andrew's POV.This was the right time for me to take what I have always wanted for the past few years. It had been a very hard thing for me, but I didn't expect that we would get it as easy this way.I have a lot of shares on my hand right now, and I happened to let all the shareholders to be on my side. I happened to buy some shares from the shareholders doubling the amount they used to buy it.I was prepared for this day. An urgent shareholders meeting was held, and I heard he wasn't there yet. This would be a very good opportunity for me, and I shouldn't lose it that way.My driver drove into the company, while I came down from the car elegantly. A lot of people were surprised to see right at the company. I bet they were surprised to see coming down from the car that I ha brought.It was one of the latest car, and I just decided to bring it here also. O was led to the place where the meeting would be taking place. I sat among the shareholders.Most of them were not surpr
Chapter 48Charles's POV.I watched as she she came down from the stage looking so elegant, just like thew way she would.I love everything about her. If I didn't make a mistake few years back, I bet the both of us would have been together now. I watched as a lot of men admired her. That was the disadvantage that came together with dating a girl who was very beautiful.It was then I could hear a lot of people murmuring afterwards, while I wondered what they were talking about. It looked so serious, and then I looked at the projector since that was where their gaze were directed to.I squinted my eyes while I tried to understand what was happening. No way! How did that get into that place? My heart started beating so fast, knowing that this matter wouldn't be taken lightly.It was a picture of me discussing with Erika's parents, on the day they were travelling. It also showed a picture of me discussing with the pilot, and then another picture of the jet I had told them to take crashed.
Chapter 47.Erika's POV.The day really went bad for me after listening to that news. I didn't even know where to start talking. How would I get to see him frequently?There was no way that I would watch him from afar. I want to be close with him without putting more effort. I wanted it to happen secretly."When did you fall so hard for him like this again? I thought you didn't like him anymore." My subconscious questioned me. How did I really get to fall so hard for him?I wasn't supposed to fall this hard again, it seemed like the both of us were not meant to be with each other. If we were meant to be with each other, I wouldn't be getting news like this.If we were meant to be with each other, things are supposed to be coming our way, not the opposite.*****Three Days After.I looked at the dress he bought for me the other day was that placed right on my bed. There was no way I was going to leave the dress right at his house since I love it so much.I admired the dress while I slo
Chapter 46.Erika's POV.My heart was really beating fast hoping that she doesn't get to one the open the closet. I was so SCARED at this moment, and I kept on praying."Who is in there?" I could hear her footsteps moving closer to the closet. "There is no one there. I think you are just over reacting." He said to her.She didn't listen while her footsteps walked into the closet, and opened it. It happened that she got to open another one. It wasn't long before I heard Charles groaning. It was really a loud one."Are you okay?" I heard her footsteps fading away while h wondered what was wrong with him."Let's go to the hospital." I heard her saying. I opened the closet to take a look at what was wrong with him, but it looked so serious. He touched his chest in pain while he wouldn't stop groaning."No! Get me my medicine!" He instructed her while she ran out of the room in order to get his medicine. I wished I could be of help, but there was nothing that I could get to do that instan
Chapter 45Erika's POV.*Continuation of The Last Chapter*"Do you really love me? Or you decided to fake it again?" I got the chance to ask him the question that I've been meaning to ask him."You should be more careful next time. You shouldn't walk at night alone, and you should wait for the cab to pick you up instead of you walking alone at night." He came down from the bed also, wanting to walk away from the room.He was changing the topic again. "Why did you come back yesterday? How did you get to know that I was in trouble? Why are you avoiding my question also?" I stopped him from going out of the rooms with the questions I had for him."You called me, and didn't say anything afterward. I tried calling you again, but you were not picking, so I felt that you might be in danger." He answered my question, refusing to answer my remaining questions."Are you a coward? Are you naturally this way? You always avoid questions that you are supposed to answer. Huh?" I walked up to him, w
Chapter 44Erika's POVAre the two trying to make me feel bad or what? Why do they have to act that way anytime that I could enter? It happened on the day she came to his house also, and this morning. The was they were really acting was really breaking my heart.The fact that he even had to act like he was worried about me when he was acting that way towards her was really annoying. I was the main topic of what was happening at the company right now, all because of them.Does he not have any sympathy for me at all?The only person who cared about me was Andrew. He was the one who told me earlier not to let their words bother me. I was so shocked when I saw him at the elevator earlier, since I didn't see him at first when I entered. I must have been blinded by my thoughts. A lot of people were talking right behind me, and in my face. It was really depressing. I just have a few more weeks, and I should be able to manage staying here till then. I gulped down the whole coffee I made imme
